What fans expected Elena to do when Caroline told her that she wants to turn her humanity off, knowing the consequences of not caring about anything, possibly ending up killing people and breaking down because of the guilt:

"Yesss go for it queen Caroline! Turning off your humanity is soooo oh helpful and fun it's your time to SHINE! Fuck our previous experiences WE STAN THE CONTROL FREAK!"

LMAO, literally this. Elena’s not perfect! That’s okay, and I do think there is things to criticize her on…..but people never pick legitimate reasons. This ain’t one of them :).

Let’s pretend Elena said nothing. She just watched as Caroline repeated similar behaviors as she did, rushing through grieving, not wanting to process anything, refusing help, fighting your friends and didn’t offer any possible comfort. Then the argument would suddenly be that Elena (or anyone) doesn’t care about Caroline. “No one helped her after her mother died! Nobody cared…” Yes, Elena mentioned her own experience and made a personal connection but that’s literally how some people relate to others who are struggling. A big key(one of my favorite too) to Elena is compassion. She didn’t center herself in the middle of it. Caroline did most of the talking and then mentioned two situations that Elena admitted was a mistake. Elena offered support and told her in a few words or so turning your humanity-switch off won’t make everything go away. Which it didn’t lmao, and Elena understood pretty well that it wasn’t her decision. She just said nicely she wouldn’t let Caroline go through this alone.

But, no lol its somehow everyone else’s fault for trying to help Caroline’s humanity and for being the reason that Caroline burned that damn letter or the stereo.line build up…

Lastly Caroline wouldn’t have made it no year with her humanity off lol. Maybe a few weeks to a month. The plot made sure to force down our throats how much of a control-freak Caroline is and yet she ruined her own damn letter from her mother YET it’s everyone else’s fault?!?!

#elena gilbert #tvd #the vampire diaires #Imma minority in this but i didn’t find Liz death the saddest lol #Could be bc my faves parents been drowned in fountains #neck slit open right in front of his daughter in public #Or unpopular opinion didn’t gaf about liz :)#when Elena messes up yall make sure to heavily critic each action she makes #nobody was stealing Caroline’s agency from her but she did fuck around and find out #dria responds #and Damon is the reason Elena turned it off. he wanted the girl but not the emotions lol #anti damon salvatore #anti delena

nothing gets me like people who hate elena for being understandably sad about all the crap in her life and hold her to a higher standard than their centuries old vampire faves when elena’s just a teenager who got caught up in some of the most insane and awful life situations and managed to still be selfless and brave and kind. while i still love stefan and some of these other characters, i acknowledge that they’re nowhere near perfect and that it’s hypocritical to see them as perfect but tear elena apart for being “annoying” (when in reality she’s crying over all her dead family and friends and it’s stefan and damon who are putting all this pressure on her in the love triangle situation. like the number of people who hate elena for not being able to choose between the salvatores but don’t hold the salvatores accountable for their actions is frustrating)

#tvd #pro elena gilbert #yes i have criticisms of the way her character was written after she became a vampire #but people really be hating on s1-3 elena for being an understandably sad teenage girl #and i hate d*lena but i don't hate elena for dating him i hate d*mon lol for being awful

counters to criticism of elena’s character being ‘weak’/passive/’a damsel’ that completely ignore she spends multiple seasons as a vampire are so interesting to me lol.

#anti elena gilbert #not really but. for the sake of a tag.#i wouldn’t personally use the two quoted descriptors myself. and i do like her.#+ i do think at least as it pertains to s1-3 a lot of these arguments are fair.#there wasn’t really much she could do to ‘benefit’ anyone in certain situations but kill herself (which is a ridiculous demand anyway.) -#and she had a bunch of superpowered people actively denying her willingness to do just that.#but... she becomes powered up herself.#and while she was still on the lower end of the food chain that ‘human’ defense still isn’t applicable anymore.#it’s not like it’s people who don’t LIKE vampire!elena or anything in which case i’d understand the refusal to acknowledge it a little more.#nor do these complaints exist solely in the context of s1-3.#and a blanket defense is kind of... meh when it’s from the #‘elena is the LEAD so any and all points that come from consideration of other chrs is WRONG’ camp.#yes. elena IS the (at least female) lead. so should she not have been a little more proactive in her own show?#this isn’t the only elena defense i think is only applicable to select seasons whereas the criticism exists outside of said seasons #(even if it IS improperly applied in those.)#just the one that makes me lol the most because it’s so... ?? ‘she’s a human’ yes but no?#tvdu text

Still blown away by Elena saying that not being able to get to Jo quickly when she fell and smacked her head or having vampire blood to heal her and instead being forced to depend upon an ambulance and doctors at a hospital to help was "empowering". How? Look, I don't judge her for wanting to be human, I can definitely see the downsides of being a vampire in TVD-verse, but she was helpless in that circumstance as a human in a way she wouldn't have been as a vampire(sidenote, I'd take all the downsides if being a vampire meant that my blood could literally bring someone back from the brink of death, I simply cannot FATHOM giving that power up). So I just don't get her saying that being at the mercy of services that absolutely are not available everywhere is "empowering".

Sorry for the rant, it's just that every time I watch that scene I start pulling out my hair and shouting "WHY???!!!!"

#the vampire diaries #tvd #elena gilbert #idk #does this count as an anti post?#I'm more criticizing the writers than the character #they really wanted us to buy into the idea that becoming a human was omfg incredible for Elena #and I just think that this was a stupid thing for them to have her enjoy doing

There are too many people who, upon encountering a woman character with too many specific traits and flaws established, lose the ability to identify with them and turn to secondary, less active, less developed characters that they can more easily project into.

As in, they'll reframe the whole story in their head and insist the true protagonist is a secondary or tertiary character. That the original protagonist is a 'Mary Sue' not worth regard. And it's weird because so often women characters are also criticized and labelled as Mary Sue's for the opposite reason as well.

I do not mean said secondary/tertiary character is bad or uninteresting. I simply mean it's inaccurate to frame them as the protagonist, and I do often see said characters proclaimed to have traits they don't possess (often traits taken from the protagonist).

It's a phenomenon not restricted to women, but I have noticed it's more common with women. For some reason they rarely do this to the men of the story. And I feel like there's some internalized misogyny in there.

I see it on both the audience end and occasionally even the writer's end. *cough* The Vampire Diaries *cough*. For now, I'll call it the Trapped in a Island with Josh Hutcherson phenomenon where Jenny Nicholson points out that the author wrote a self-insert, got jealous of the self-insert when she took on too much of a life of her own, and proceeded to write a new self-insert to push the old one aside.

Some examples:

Rhaenyra → Alicent, Helaena, and occasionally Baela & Rhaena (might also be some ageism in there too)

Arya & Dany → Sansa, the Dead Ladies Club, Brienne on occasion

Elena Gilbert (TVD) → Caroline Forbes

Those are the most blatant examples, but I swear this phenomenon is EVERYWHERE.

Anyways, I'm looking for more specific examples so I can better look into it. If you can think of another one, do me a favour and drop it below!

Summary: Team Free Will 2.0 is trying to teach Jack more about hunting and so they take him with them (much to Deans protest) on another hunt, just a simple vamp hunt, but once they arrive they begin to uncover the town mysteries and secrets.

(English is not my first language so feel free to point out any mistake you see, this is my first fic so please leave some constructive criticism if you can)

Chapter 1: Welcome to Mystic Falls

Everyone was was relaxing on their own inside the bunker, Sam was on hi laptop searching for a case, [Name] and Jack were watching a movie in the living room, the only people who weren't here were Dean and Castiel who were on a supply run at the moment.

Once they arrived, as if on que, Sam spoke up "Hey, guys I think I found a case" [Name] and Jack paused the movie and walked over to where Sam was in the library, Castiel and Dean quickly walked down the stairs and stood behind sam along side [Name] and Jack. Dean set the grocery bag on the table as Sam spoke again. "A woman was found dead at a town called "Mystic Falls" with her blood completely drained, no sign of struggle was found anywhere in the scene but they did find bite marks on the victims neck.

"So you're thinking a vamp did this?" Dean said "Seem's so" Sam replied "A bit weird for the victim not to fight back at least a bit though" said [Name].

"Doesn't matter, let's go over there and gank the son of a b!tch and the rest of its nest, Jack you stay here and wait till we get back" Dean said whilst pointing a finger at the young Nephilim "But I can help! I've gotten much better at controlling my powers now!"

"No but's you're staying here and that's final." Jack frowned and looked down at his feet, Sam felt bad for the young boy and took Dean aside and Castiel followed them. "I think we should let him come with us, it could be a good learning opportunity for him, plus, he's been cooped up in the bunker for days now going outside and getting some fresh air would be good for him" Sam suggested "That's not the point, he's dangerous to others and himself, we can't risk somebody else getting hurt because of him"

Castiel spoke up in Jack's defense "I understand your concern Dean, but Jack doesn't try to do these things on purpose, let him come with us and Sam and I will keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't lose control. Dean sighed loudly before responding "Fine" he said, sounding defeated.

The three walked back over to Jack and [Name] "Both of you get your stuff ready and meet at the car in 5" Dean said "I can come with you?" The Nephilim seamed to beam at the thought "Yeah but don't get too excited" Jack didn't seem too upset at Dean's comment, he was just glad he could come along with everyone. "Come with me, I can show you what you'll need for the hunt" said [Name] as they walked into the hallway, Jack following behind them. Sam headed to his room to prepare, Castiel headed straight to the car, not needing to prepare much, and Dean went into his room to get his duffel bag.

Once everyone was ready they met up at the car and got inside, Dean driving while blasting classic hard rock, Sam riding shotgun and complaining about how loud the music was, and the other three riding back while [Name] tries to introduce the two angels to a car game to try and pass the time, the town wasn't too far but with the brothers constant bickering, it sure as he'll felt like it.

Once you all arrived at Mystic Falls it was already pretty late, Sam began to search for any affordable motels in the area and Dean had gone on a food run with Cass. Sam got two rooms, one for him and his brother, and the other for [Name] and Jack knowing that Cass didn't sleep at all. Once Dean got back, everyone was waiting in one of the two rooms (Sam and Dean's) so they can all research the towns history and visit the morgue tomorrow. "You guys find anything on the town?" "Yeah, looks like this isn't the first time something like this has happened" [Name] said "How far back does it go?" Dean said as he placed the bag of food on the nearby table "Well there are incidents that dating back to the 1400's and farther" "It says that on here too" Sam says "Seems like this town has been plagued with vampires for a really long time now" he continued with his brows furrowed. "Well alright, everyone head to their rooms, and by that I mean you two" Dean said pointing two fingers at [Name] Jack "And we'll head to the morgue tomorrow and ask around the sherrifs department tomorrow" Jack and [Name] got up and took their food before heading out.

The next day Jack and [Name] woke up earlier than expected and so they decided to get some breakfast, but before they could do that, they heard some deputies talk about another attack that happned last night with bite marks and and the blood completely drained, they overheardthem talk about the location which was in the middle of the woods, they were about to tell Cass and the borthers they heard Dean yelling "CASS WHAT THE HELL?!" they both opened the door to see what happned only to walk in on Cass siting on the edge of Dean's bed watching TV and Dean looking startled while Sam simply laughed at Dean's reaction. Jack looked confused as [Name] rolled their eyes at the scene before them. "Stop messing around, there was another attack last night that looks the exact same as the last one" The brothers quickly got up alongside Cass. "Go put your suit on so we can head out to the scene, which is where exactly?" Dean asked, upon telling them the location they all got ready and headed to the scene.

Once they all got there, they flashed their fake FBI badges at a deputy who in turn called the sheriff over. "Sherrif Forbes, and you are?" They all introduced themselves to her. "Aren't you two a little young to be FBI" "Were new, this is our first real case" [Name] said while slightly glancing at Jack. "And what do the FBI want with an animal attack?" Said a masculine voice, from behind the sheriff emerged a tall man with dark, he wore a black leather jacket on a black shirt with regular jeans "And your are?" Dean asked "Damon Salvatore, civillian consultant, now answer my question, what does the FBI want with an animal attack" the man, who the team have recently come to know is named Damon, asks again with impatience and a passive aggressive smile. "With all due respect sir, it's a private matter we can't discuss" Sam says "Well, sorry I asked" a sarcastic smile was visible on Damon's face as he turned on his heel and walked back over to the body.

"Follow me" said the sheriff. She lead them to the body. Dean bent down to get a closer look as the sheriff told them the details "A couple hitchhikers found the body this morning but judging by the temperature, he's been dead for a while now." Dean reached his hand and checked on the bite mark located on the man's neck, the bite marks looked cleaner than all the other vamps they've faced before, it was odd but he brushed it off. He got up and asked if they could get a copy of the autopsy report and she said they could drop by the morgue and pick it up later to which Dean offered a smile that left almost as quickly as it came, Sam stepped in a few second's later "Well thank you for your time, let us know if you find anything else" he hand them a card with his number on it and leaves with the rest of his team.

Damon however felt as if there was something more, something they weren't telling them "You okay?" Asked Forbes, Damon quickly turned his head in her direction "Uh yeah I'm fine Liz" she put her hand on his back before saying "Well I need to ask the hospital for a copy of the autopsy report to give to the Agents" she then took her arm and walked away. Damon knew something was up, and he was gonna figure it one way or another.

The group headed back to the motel but Dean said he would drop by the morgue to get the autopsy report to which they all agreed. Once Dean left the motel and headed to his car, he heard footsteps approaching, but before he could do anything that person quickly turned him around and pinned him to the car. Dean looked at the attacker and soon recognized his face, it was Damon, the consultant from the crime scene "The hell do you think you're doing?!" Dean shouted, Damon looked him dead in the eye as his pupils began to slightly dilate "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

⚜️ William Zachariah Webb ⚜️

While there are many iterations of William in the multiverse where this didn't happen, the DR that I am most linked to has chosen this as a canon event. Please be advised that my William Webb scripted timeline here is TLDR and for your sanity, I'd just carry on scrolling through Tumblr. But if you're still curious??? Then continue reading...

But seriously, maybe don't do that.

TW: Death, violence, suicide mention, & dark themes. Will is a wet, sad little sack of a man & his story is purposefully scripted with this trauma in mind as a motivating force. This is a TVD person after all.

"What I'm doing for the world-No, what I've always done-has been for the greater good! If you had the chance to end the war against evil, you'd do the same..."

-William Webb

⚜️ Born in February 1964 to Samantha and Garrett Webb. He was an only child. Garrett would soon abandon both Samantha & Will after his 10th birthday, starting a brand new family with another woman. Samantha had some health complications post-pregnancy and was prone to fits of mania or depression that left William in the role of the "caretaker" for most of his formative years. He'd soon take an interest in medicine, psychology, & academia as a result. Will wanted to do his best to take care of his Mother despite how his father treated her.

⚜️ William spent most of his childhood and young teens in New York, struggling with his mother, managing her health, and working a part-time job after school to pay for the cost of living. At the age of 17, the Webbs caught a lucky break when Elias Webb, Samantha's uncle, died. Since he was childless and had no other heirs, Samantha (and William) were given control over the Webb estates & their considerable fortune. William and Samantha moved from NY to Mystic Falls in 1976.

⚜️ Life improved considerably for William & his mother in their new environment. Armed with the Webb fortune at their disposal, Will was able to pay for the meds/specialists his mother needed. And, for the most part, was able to start living a normal life. Will's grades improved greatly & even Samantha's health seemed to turn around for the better. To the point where she didn't need the supervision she once did. It was a true miracle. At least, for now...

⚜️ It wasn't all coming up roses for William, however. Being the only (living) male heir to the Webb Estates came with responsibilities that he wasn't really prepared for & also the gawking attention of the residents of Mystic Falls. The Webbs were shrouded in an urban legend that painted them in a negative light much like the Gilberts were painted as drunk crazy people. Even though both families sat and held positions on the Founder's Council. Will did his best to adapt to the changes and Samantha encouraged him to be gentle with himself. During this time, William made two new friends at Mystic Falls High; Grace and Mercy Tanner. And while William Webb tried to befriend the girl's younger brother, they'd always maintain an awkward (if not outright antagonistic) relationship until after tragedy struck after graduation.

Side Note: Mercy and Grace Tanner are the (older) twin sisters of William Tanner, Elena's history teacher, during the events of S1 TVD. Another detail to note is that while Will held a defacto seat on the Founder's Council by virtue of being a Webb, he was not informed of the supernatural goings-on due to his age at the time. By the time it became a relevant factor, it was too late.

⚜️ Darkness befell the Webb family shortly after William's graduation from MFHS in the form of Samantha's newest suitor; Dominic. Claiming that he was there to visit his family, Dominic infiltrated Samantha's life and quickly became another "Garrett" to William. There was something... wrong about Dominic. William only had vague suspicions but his mother was so happy in this new relationship that he refrained from any direct criticism or confrontation towards Dominic whenever he was invited over. After all, his mother was an adult. Will wasn't about to shit on his mother's new happiness. William, also, was distracted by his own happiness with Mercy Tanner whom he had just started to date.

⚜️ Around this time, William started having strange, vivid, terrifying nightmares about a priest. About blood, death, and pages upon pages filled with ink. Mercy suggested that he see a doctor about these nightmares he was having in case it was a symptom/s of a deeper problem (like his mother) but all that was prescribed was over-the-counter sleep medication. And a recommendation to see a clinical therapist which William refused. He'd seen the good it'd done for his mother & Will wasn't keen to repeat the gruesome process. Mental health practices were barbaric in the 70's. William just chalked it up to stress.

TW: Please be advised that this part of Will's story is traumatic & continues downhill from here. Do not read further if you struggle with themes of death, violence, or suicide.

⚜️ Speaking of stress, William was filling out paperwork to apply for classes at Whitmore College. He'd been at the library, working on the packet of papers he'd been given to sign and initial. As such, Will missed (several) phone calls from his mother that, sadly, he'd regret for the rest of his life. William was the first to arrive at "the scene of a tragic accident." At least, that's what the coroner's office said of the ordeal. William had been the first to arrive at the bloody scene of "the accident" (the house they'd inherited) and what he'd witnessed did not add up to a suicide. His mother hadn't struggled with her anxiety or psychotic depression since they'd gotten her the specialists she needed. Still, Mystic Falls PD & the coroner's office insisted that it was. Her head had been twisted at such an angle, in such a way, that only an act of incredible violence could ever achieve. Still, the death certificate said, "Suicide." The town was more than willing to blame his mother's poor mental health than pursue the truth. After all, Founder's Week was rolling around the corner. The last thing the Mayor wanted was an open murder case distracting (and scaring) the town's people. But William knew it was Dominic. In his gut, he knew...

⚜️ As a child, William couldn't do anything to save his mother from Garrett. Now, as a technical adult (18), he'd been too late to do anything. The only control Will had in this situation was to find the true culprit: Dominic. The mangled body of his mother haunted Will at night. Now, she was joined with the priest who urged him forward. In the weeks that followed, Will became another person who was obsessed, paranoid, and lashing out at the people who were around him. He forgot about college & his academic future. His relationship with Mercy deteriorated. He began looking like his ancestor (William the 1st), who'd also lost his mind in a similar way. Making valid the whispers and gossip about the "cursed" Webb family, bringing history to come around full circle again.

Side Note: The Founder's Council decided to bury the truth and keep William Webb in the dark about the existence of vampires. They still deemed him too young & too immature, a liability at worst to their system of control based on his wildly emotional reaction to his mother's death. The Council considered this attack to be an isolated event, after all. And there was no solid proof (a vampire bite) that Samantha had been killed by a vampire in the first place.

⚜️ In pursuit of the truth & unwilling to risk his girlfriend's safety while doing so, William broke up with Mercy. Whatever person he'd have to become or dangers he'd face, he did not want to involve her. Dominic had skipped town (conveniently) after giving a few words to the authorities about his whereabouts at the time of "the incident." William followed, putting the town of Mystic Falls behind him and leaving the Webb estates empty for now to stand as a testament. Or a dark reminder of the crime Mystic Falls refused to address.

⚜️ __________________________________.

----------

*CONCEPT BEING RE-WORKED.

----------

⚜️ The experiment is to create a new kind of supernatural. A hybrid that hasn't walked the Earth for over millions of years. Just as fast, as strong, and as hard-to-kill as an Original. Armed with holy fire ripped from the power of an archangel itself. The Augustine Society and Possessed!William are spearheading the experiment with information Will has gained from studying the old grimoire that has been handed down to every generation within the Webbs. For reasons that remain mysterious to The Augustine Society, William is the only person who can read the book. However, the results speak for themselves. In 1992, Will is successful in creating seven of these hybrid beings. Will and The Augustine Society calls these successes: "The Miraculous 7." With so many failed attempts, these seven are a true miracle to Possessed!William & The Society. Both put their hopes on these children to be the final coffin nail in the war against vamps forever.

⚜️ William legally adopts the 7 children and houses them in the Webb estate. Meanwhile, The Augustine Society takes over control of the orphanage where additional experiments continue. Possibly headed by John Gilbert & Grayson Gilbert. But Will's attention is on the Miraculous Seven now.

⚜️ He teaches the children survival, hunting, and martial arts along with various forms of weapons training (focusing mostly on wood stakes and pistols loaded with wood bullets). The training is grueling & intense, often not considering the limits of a child. Possessed!Will sees them more like tools that exist only to enact his centuries-long revenge against vampires. There are a few moments, though, where William softens. Mostly for the eldest girl of the Miraculous 7 who reminds him of Grace. Will chooses to homeschool the kids, giving him greater control over them. During this time (with the addition of normal hunter powers) William notices the kids developing psychic talents akin to the archangel entity that was used in the ritual. Each kid has one psychic ability that's exclusively their own & specific to them.

Side Note: The archangel's "true name" was used in the Webb family grimoire's ritual to bind it to reality.

⚜️ The Miraculous 7 are as follows:

▪︎ Adam Webb (known as "First" in the Augustine Society reports)

▪︎ Elizabeth Webb (known as "The Pale Lady" in the Augustine Society reports)

▪︎ Jake Webb (known as "The Jackal" in the Augustine Society reports)

▪︎ Sebastian Webb (known as "The Tinkerer" in the Augustine Society reports)

▪︎ Ethan Webb (known as "The Believer" in the Augustine Society reports)

▪︎ Andrew Webb (known as "The Fool" in the Augustine Society reports)

▪︎ Zoey Webb (known as "Last" in the Augustine Society reports)

⚜️ The true nature of the Miraculous 7 was getting harder & harder to conceal from the general public of Mystic Falls. William Webb and the Augustine Society, during this time, begin falling out of favor with each other as both parties disagree on the solution. While the Augustine Society recommends that he turn them over to their care as test subjects so they can recreate the process with a new batch. William believes his successes aren't possible to recreate. He thinks mankind (and the world) would benefit more if the children were sent out "into the field" to kill vampires. Against the Augustine Society's wishes, Will leaves Mystic Falls with the Miraculous 7 in 1999. His estate and properties is preserved in a trust, maintained by the Webb lawyers & Mathewson Realty. The grimoire disappears with William and the Miraculous 7, much to the Augustine Society's dismay. Years pass without any indication of where William (or his children) went. The Augustine Society is forced to prioritize their "Augustine Vampire" project as their final solution to the vampire threat at large.

⚜️ Between the years: 1999-2010, nothing is known about William's activities (nor that of the kids). The official story for Mystic Falls is that he moved to New Orleans with the kids presumably studying abroad. At the start of 2010, news begins to circulate about William being dead. This is confirmed when lawyers contact Mathewson Realty to transfer all the estate and property ownership to William's named heir: Zoey Webb. The details of Will's death are kept vague, though some mention of health complications is circulated through the rumor mill of Mystic Falls. Whether this is true or just another fabrication remains a mystery...

⚜️ In September 2010, Zoey Webb arrives in Mystic Falls, Virginia, to take over the Webb estates. She is alone and without the rest of the Miraculous 7, seemingly having suffered a falling out with all of them entirely. Rumors only spread like wildfire from there...

when it came to the bradford family, they were considered the perfect all american family. william a well known fashion photographer, who grew up with wealth but still made a name for himself. emma bradford, an attorney, who's story really inspired people that no matter where you come from you can still become someone. and the moment joshua was adopted, it was like he had the whole world at the palm of his hands. his parents encouraging him to do whatever his heart desired.

joshua's story could have been different though. the first five years of his life he was raised by an amazing woman, his birth mother, lucy davis. his father was never in the picture, and that was okay, because he had lucy. but one night after a shift at the night and dine, a storm was brewing. driving back home was more difficult than expected, and out of nowhere a truck came driving towards her, ending in disaster.

with no record of his father, and there not being a next of kin to take joshua, he was eventually placed with the bradfords, who fostered the young josh. and they had fallen in love with joshua, even when he was so quiet and timid to begin with, but once he felt comfortable, they love how thoughtful, creative and sweet he was. they knew that they wanted him, and they decided to adopt him.

growing up with the bradfords, he was coming to his own. he loved his parents, and he loved what they did, always interested in what they do, specifically with his father's photography. his creative side being shown more and more, it was clear where his interest lied. so his parents had gotten him his first camera at thirteen. and his love for photography grew, amongst the rest of the arts.

he had accomplished a lot in his quarter life. winning photo competitions, going to college, and graduating with a business and photography degree. and now, he wants help young artist fulfill their dreams just like he was fulfilling his own. but there was still one thing he wanted to do before he started it all, he wanted to find who his birth father is. the problem was, there was no information on him. and he felt like it was finding a needle in a haystack. but he wasn't going to give up.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

a love so powerful: this is the person that joshua never saw coming. yes, he has been in relationships before, and has hooked up with others, but this man really was someone he fell for first. the thing was, did he even feel the same? he never got so flustered like this before. and josh really is stuck feeling like that one awkward teenager he once was.

you are my brother: can be someone he grew up with and they are inseparable or possible the bradford's birth child. either way, him and joshua have been attached to the hip, and whenever one is around, so is the other. so watch out, cause they might bring some chaos.

best friends for life: if there was one person josh confided in practically everything, it was always his best friend. she's the girl that he tended to gravitate around for years, they even shared their first kiss together, and tried the dating, but decided that being friends was the right move. she's the one he always cared what she thought.

from bully to friends: it's crazy how the jock and the art kid once to hate each other. tale as old as time. but growing up had changed them both. one night out together and they ended up having a good time. who would have thought these unlikely duo would be good friends.

That Emma Gilbert/Elena Gilbert meme is missing a critical element.

Whitley Gilbert.

It's just wild that three actresses were on the same show and played characters with the same last name.

Stefan lying to Elena in 1x18 about being a ripper after they made out on her bed and he lost control to his bloodlust to the point she pushed him away bothered me. He gaslight her into thinking it was the first time he lost control and downplayed the severity of his issues so she wouldn't be afraid. It's not the same as compulsion and he cared more about Elena than the women he compelled, but it is quite similar. If he were a normal 17 year old human lying about human things it wouldn't be predatory. The way Stefan objectifies women disgusts me too, especially in the flashbacks. The way he pushed one of the women in corsets towards Damon and when Damon was displeased with him Stefan considered it as having fun. Stefan didn't like being pushed around and abused by Katherine, but his fans take implications of Damon's behavior seriously and not Stefan's. I also noticed in season 2 that Stefan called Andie an it and double checked the subtitles. I feel like Stefan killing Andie indirectly with compulsion was tied to Damon's storyline with Andie. Obviously Stefan had his own selfish motives. Stefan stans say he did that to Andie for her own good since she was with Damon even though Stefan gave no such reasoning. If Stefan actually cared about Andie he wouldn't have called compelling and killing Andie cool when Damon tried to stop him. Stefan had plenty of time to compel her to leave Damon's life like Damon did to the girls in 1864 if he cared as well. Alaric sarcastically saying Damon was trying to be a chivalrous boyfriend to a fake girlfriend that he had used compulsion on in 3x01 and Damon losing Andie the same way he had her stick around at the beginning seemed intentional. I also noticed that in that episode he didn't feed on her or ask to do so and she had no marks on her neck. He seemed to have mellowed down in Stefan's absence. Also, that was the last episode Kevin wrote before he came back towards the end of the show. Kevin and Julie said that when they would write together he typically wrote for Damon's character. A lot of the things that people don't like Damon for: snapping Jeremy's neck, compelling Andie, killing Mason was stuff that Kevin was responsible for, but most fans hate Julie and accuse her of being blind to Damon when she has criticized him multiple times. The controversial compulsion stuff the characters did in the show stopped after Kevin left.

Stefan never really stops lying. They introduced John Gilbert in 1x13. Elena asked Stefan if he knew John, and Stefan admitted he did. What he didn't tell her as he described Damon as a monster, was the fact that he himself killed John. Elena had to wait an entire season to learn this, to hear someone describe Stefan the way Stefan described Damon. She only did because John wrote about it in his journal. Stefan then took the journal because he doesn't like Elena getting both sides of the story. He only likes her getting HIS side. You often see Elena getting two sides to the Defan relationship. Stefan gives her his side while trying to deny her Damon's side. In 1x20, Damon actually has to tell her what Stefan did to him because Stefan won't.

There's no justifying Stefan hiding his vampirism from Elena. She fell in love with him instantly, so when she found out he was a vampire, Stefan basically forced her to choose between a relationship with him or losing yet another person after she lost both her parents. She's honest about this on the porch. "I can't LOSE the way I feel about you." A scene placed between Jeremy and Vicki because that's Elena's reality. Vicki is important in the first season because she and Stefan have the same role. These two relationships are helping the siblings move on from the death of their parents. To feel normal again. Jeremy is torn open because he lost that, so Damon comes over to take away his pain. In 1x8. Lexi talks about Elena going through the stages of grief as Lexi's boyfriend had to. The girl just got done grieving her parents, and she's having to grieve her own damn boyfriend. That's what Stefan did to her. Damon is the kind of man who, when he's dying from a werewolf bite, would rather Stefan hide his death from Elena than have her mourn another grave.

Stefan is just as nasty with women, but most of his nastiness is kept to dialogues and journal entries. I consider a vampire bite without consent technical abuse. So when they talk about him getting an all girls high school shut down for attendance issues, there's a problem. Some of it is written in his journals. "I've blacked out days. I wake up in strangers' blood. In places I don't recognize. With women I don't remember." Flashbacks of him abusing and taking advantage of women in 1864, again in the 20s. Or how about the women Stefan fans like to pretend are just there to play Twister. He's abusing them too. The woman he literally kills and adds to his wall while Rebekah is trying to pick out a dress. He literally compels a married couple to sit at his table, cuts into the wife's arm, pours her blood into a glass, then forces her husband to drink it. Women he slaughters up and down the eastern seaboard, to which he started at the end of 2x22...and this was with his humanity on.

Stefan didn't kill Andie for Andie's own good. Stefan fans really are tripping if they believe that. He killed Andie because he knew she was Damon's distraction from Elena. He wanted Damon to hold onto Elena for the sake of letting him go. When Stefan accepts blame for Elena falling in love with Damon, he's being real because killing Andie was part of that. He knowingly pushed them together. The truth of Damon with Andie is every bit what Stefan claimed of those women he had playing Twister. Damon has Andie helping him be all that he can be. That's why he won't compel her or feed on her, and why he acts like a chivalrous boyfriend. He doesn't have to act that way, he wants to because he wants to learn through her. He hasn't acted human in a very long time, and he's deeply in love with Elena, so Andie is technically practice for him.

Fans have no reason to hate Julie. Impossible for a writer to be blind to their own character. What they did with Damon every episode would've been agreed upon in the writers room, and they knew the moment they decided on it. I don't know the writers of TVD all that great, but if this is Julie's show, then she had more say than Kevin.
