I am so late to this party. But this is the only episode I have seen at this point (There were internet issues. Basically our campus internet gets pissed when you try stream things. So it takes about a million years of starting, pausing for fucking ever, and then coming back and hoping it actually loaded. But my apartment is now splitting the monthly cost of our own wifi. And I have about 48 solid hours of tv to catch up on, not to mention Netflix and- Whatever. The point is I am slowly but surely catching up). And I wanted to read some reaction posts, so hello!
in what world is it a remotely tolerable narrative choice to subject Caroline to yet ANOTHER gratuitous instance of sexual assault that, in the end, does absolutely nothing for her narrative. it turns the stomach.
I do not understand Klaroline. Or. I guess I understand non-canon potential but I do not understand why it is a thing that is happening on the show, or why anyone would still be shipping it at this point, because it is vile and horrifying. What are they even trying to do there? Because it feels like the show is trying to somehow have "this can and never will be because it is awful" while also having "look at them aren't they so starcrossed and precious?" And those two things don't really go together well at all. AND CAN WE PLEASE STOP ASSAULTING CAROLINE FOR NO GODDAMN REASON?
"you respect my choices, like you always do." show: shut. the. fuck. up. you need to shut the fuck up with flagrantly misusing "social justice" and "female empowerment" to make what is a textually abusive relationship supposedly plausible. it is sickening.
Oh my God. Oh my GOD. That line. I was sitting here like, "hold the fuck up. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" This shit is getting to the point of not even making sense in-world. I mean, a lot of Elena/Stefan things make at least a little bit of sense for the the characters, while also being sickeningly horrible. But the E/S justification is starting to seem ooc and forced as well as sickeningly horrible and I'm going to need that to stop.
sorry about your ship, bros. i'm out.
Yes to this, and the rest of the stelena stuff. We are brain twins in this regard, yo.
Klaus/Rebekah. best scene of the night. Damon's general disgust with everyone's narratives, which speaks to my (lack of) soul. Elena's transition, esp. the moment where she finally tastes blood.
Yes good.
and can we take a moment to appreciate that the first thing Elena did after turning was assault Damon. i teared up, tbh.
