I hate the internet for really gaslighting me into thinking the Vampire Diaries was better than Twilight.
Don't get me wrong, Twilight is ass but the Vampire Diaries isn't even that much better in comparison.

Pro-Damon arguments have always been pretty stupid imo, but an argument I've been seeing a lot more of recently is people saying that they prefer Damon to Stefan- both as a character and as a love interest for Elena- because "Damon was aware that he was a monster whereas Stefan pretended that he wasn't", and I have got to say, this is such a brain dead take.
Let's start by addressing the first part of the claim, that Damon's self-awareness inherently makes him better. No. Believe it or not, being self-aware does not make you a good person, it's what you do with that awareness that does. What does Damon do with his self-awareness? Absolutely nothing. He whines and cries about how much of a monster he is and how he can't change whenever anyone tries to hold him accountable for anything, or he just puts the blame on Katherine or his mother because "they didn't wuv him 🥺👉🏻👈🏻". So, he recognizes that he's a bad person, but then he proceeds to continue to be a bad person anyway...I'm not seeing how this is a good- or even a respectable- thing. Damon also doesn't care! He enjoys murdering and r*ping people. How does someone knowing they're a bad person, and then doing nothing to be better, make them a better person? It doesn't. The logic of that argument is non-existent. And to then go on and say that this is why Elena should choose him?? Why? How does Elena begging Damon to just stop being horrible, and then him responding with "I'm a monster, I'll never change" scream "I'm someone you should be with"?? There's a reason she told him he was the worst choice she would ever make.
Now, for the second part of the claim, which states that Stefan pretends that he is a good person when really, he's a monster. Once again: no. Tell me you don't have general comprehension skills without telling me because Stefan's desperation to hold onto his humanity and morality are very central parts of his character. He recognizes that he's done horrible things and takes full accountability for them. Whenever Elena asks him a question about his past, he's honest with her. He doesn't hide things from her, downplay them, or push the blame onto someone else (and if someone tries to bring up him not initially telling her he was a vampire, I will scream. Because duh! Why would he just be like, "Hey, I'm Stefan, I'm a vampire, nice to meet you!"? Please be serious) He's said the words "I am/was a monster" multiple times on screen - same as Damon - the difference between the two of them is that Stefan does something about it. Stefan trying to be a better person is not him pretending he's never done bad things. It's him trying to atone for all of the bad things that he has done. So, when he says that he's not Damon, It's true! Because he does everything Damon doesn't do when it comes to facing the consequences of his actions. Which also winds up forcing him to face the consequences of Damon's actions as well!
Only in the TVD fandom will you see people say that the guy who actively does the wrong thing in every scenario and who revels in being the bad guy is better than the guy who hates the part of himself that does horrible things and puts all of his effort into being a better person simply because guy #1 is "self-aware".
I hate it here.

I was minding my own business scrolling on the Damian Wayne hashtag on Tiktok and there was this edit:
Damian's text was: grandfather said we're not allowed to cry
And Dick: [said yada yada sumn I can't remember] you are 10 you're allowed to cry.
And they hugged and it was all very nice
THENNNNN somebody in the comments goes: "No this would fit so well for Bruce tho"
QUEEEEE????????
You think the man that lost his parents at like 8 and lost his son and broke down and became a shell of a man WOULD TELL HIS TEN YEAR OLD NOT TO CRY
Sometimes y'all hit the nail on the head but most of the time y'all don’t even pick up the hammer

Elena Gilbert: Heroine or Victim?
OPINIONS NO ONE CARES ABOUT: EPISODE 2
Tumblr media
Elena Gilbert's character is argued about by many fans of the TVDU. What makes her interesting though, is the fact that she was supposed to be the leading protagonist in the series, an active character who takes decisions by herself and doesn't need anyone to stay alive. But we can see in the TVDU that Elena is primarily characterised by the notion of how much she can suffer and endure instead of how much she can act and accomplish.
Tumblr media
Elena was supposed to be the leading heroine in the series, and yes, she is. But she is more like the victim than the saviour. It is difficult for a human to survive in a world surrounded by vampires, and that affects Elena as a whole because she couldn't take any major decisions without putting the people around her at risk. But the show slowly took away all of her decision-making capabilities and in turn her glamour in general.
Tumblr media
There's no doubt that the show revolved around Elena, and it should, since she's the main character. But the way the show took place, Elena was portrayed as the one everyone rushes to save and her life is shown to be the most important priority of other people. On top of this, she has to do nothing much to earn this kind of love and protectiveness from the people around her.
All of the care and affection shown by many characters for Elena seems animated. She comes off as the naturally lovable, loving character who is of the most importance to the show and the narrative in general.
While characters like Bonnie and Caroline have to earn even the tiniest flicker of affection from other people, Elena gets it all served over a silver platter. Without her having to do anything extraordinary to earn that, which is not the case with Caroline or Bonnie.
Tumblr media
Elena, as a person, isn't bad. In fact, she's a great girl, who wants no one to get harmed. In the course of showing this nature of hers, she is written to be a perfect character. Her flaws are not noticeable throughout the show when she was a human. When she became a vampire, some of her emotions were expressed. But, she transitions from being a life-savour to a 'perfect goody two shoes' who can possibly do nothing wrong and always what the right thing is and what she's supposed to say and how she's supposed to behave.
Tumblr media
Another problem with Elena is her dynamic with the Salvatore brothers. I mean, she is indirectly compared to Katherine too many times throughout the show, which is obvious since both the ladies are doppelgangers, but what makes this uncomfortable is the fact that primarily, the Salvatore brothers are attracted to her because she literally looks like their ex.
Yes, her character is different. But in the last episode of season 1 of The Vampire Diaries, the famous dialogue between the Salvatore brothers, I don't remember who said it, I think it was Damon.
"Elena is not Katherine."
And then they see her dressed up in vintage attire and both look at her in a certain way, as if they're reminiscing about Katherine.
It's weird to know that a certain person is attracted to you because you look like their ex.
Tumblr media
Another interesting dynamic related to the Salvatore brothers is that if we observe their relationship with Katherine, we can see that at that time it was always Katherine who was in command, who was in control, she had both of them wrapped around her finger.
I wouldn't disagree with the fact that that was also toxic to a certain extent, since even when she loved both of them, she also used them. That is not okay, not at all.
But their dynamic with Elena is something that sticks poorly with many viewers since Elena can't even make decisions of her own without being poked and interrogated by Stefan and Damon. Still, with Stefan, Elena had some autonomy, but with Damon, he tried to control many things he shouldn't have. Yes, he loved her, but love is no excuse for taking away her basic choices in life.
I'd like to highlight this one scene from the second season when Damon feeds her his blood forcefully so that god forbid if she died, she would come back as a vampire. He did that without asking her if she wanted to come back a vampire, just did that because her living was more important to him than her loving herself.
Tumblr media
It doesn't matter how much you love a person, you do not have any right to take away their fundamental life choices. Yes, you can advise, suggest, and plead, but forcing someone is not acceptable.
And yet Elena kisses him in the last episode-?
Tumblr media
Elena has suffered a lot, gotta say that. She lost her parents, her aunt, her biological parents, her brother and eventually her own life. Anyone watching the show can directly see that Elena is the centrepiece for every single thing ever, and because of that she is heavily involved in every plotline, but instead of her taking charge or even being like a side character, the show focuses on how constantly she is victimised, how much she suffers, and that it portrayed as a display of strength.
Resilience is also a strength, but how is it that the main character is blackmailed and left vulnerable and helpless every time a new villain shows up?
This is not even remotely inspirational, and it also makes the plotline predictable. Whenever anything happens, the viewers can already predict that Elena is going to suffer, and it also makes everything repetitive.
Tumblr media
In conclusion, the show revolves around Elena, but her own character is so incredibly passive that she's easily replaceable.

Is it just me that can't really get over it how Damon raped Caroline. Because I know so many people that like Damon and it seems to me that they all just forgot or pretend that it didn't happend. Don't get me wrong I like Damon but think about this:
-he raped Caroline -doesn't really let Elena decide for herself and does something against it when he doesn't agree with it -is kinda obsessed with Elena and at the begging it was just because she looked like Katherine to be exact i dont even know if he really sees Elena as Elena and not Katherine -what he did to Elena with the sire bond do we really know if it wasn't rape even when he didnt know about the sire bond at the time -killed Jeremy without the knowledge he had the Ring on

Not people on Reddit saying Elena from The Vampire Diaries is a “Not Like Other Girls” Girl™. Umm I don’t think that phrase means what they think it means, she was literally a girly girl, was a cheerleader for a while, and had very close female friends…

The argument that TVD being a "vampire show" excuses when the characters act like shitty people doesn't really make sense when even the non-vampire characters are complete ass.

( park seo joon, cis man, he/him ) — 🎬 just announced, Youngsoo “Sunny” Lee has been cast as stefan salvatore in the upcoming the vampire diaries reboot. the thirty year old is trending as people are debating if the confetti stuck in the hair, permanent marker stains of various colors, a hoarse voice from endless nights of screaming, that inevitable goofy grin when they smile they are known for is enough to make them as good as original. a quick google search shows that their fans call them honest, but internet trolls think they’re more tactless. i guess their newest interview for variety where they talk about the fact he told the studio approved story on how he auditioned to be the narrator for stefan for a few episodes but wound up getting the main role but is very excited to play the role. however the viral part of the video was reading one of the promo lines in meowth from team rockets voice will let people to know them better.
Sunny grew up in rural texas. (divorce tw)His parents were divorced shortly after he was born
Despite the driving between dallas and austin. Sunny tried to keep a happy disposition hence his nickname Sunny (divorce tw ending)
He often spent time imitating the voices from his favorite shows growing up. His first oppurtunity was the texas location in pbs sprout for pingu
Sunny was able to do the pingu friends sound effects and learned quickly.
Sunny essentially stayed on pbs sprout for the majority of his teens and late twenties, even letgave him the public service grant which let him get his bachelors in early teacher education
When Pbs sprout dissolved, he tried to go other children's network but they easily dissolved
He decided to move to california in hopes of finding a new voice acting gig. He only achieved some netflix shows with a bigger pay cut with some voice cameos
It wasn't until his major voice acting role led him to his big role
If you ask his agent he purposely auditioned for the role of stefan, being the ruggedly handsome newbie actor wanted to spread his wings
If you asked Sunny, he was just given a narrator script by his voice actor friend and told him it would good practice to get into narration/audiobook work (which at the time was more viable then children show acting). The director did a double take and asked him to do other lines and he nailed it....very well. Probably because the years of playing gruff voices helped
So now Sunny is a star....but not in the way he imagined
Personality
Sunny might be able to play suave but hes actually a dork
He seems very out there because he has more media training for children's shows
Probably spends his time going to daycares and doing his voices for kids
Is very overwhelmed by the glitz of glamour of los angeles
Know as very odd by paparizzi because he decides to do the smokey the bear voice telling them only you can prevent slander
Not sure how to react about being thirsted over.....hes like thank you but uhhh I'm really not stefan you know *sweat emoji*
Wanted: Friends, castmates, maybe complicated romantic stuff because you cant tell if hes friendly or flirty. anything really

elena gilbert: becomes an orphan, her brother gets addicted to drugs and she tries her best to help him, loves her friends and family endlessly, falls in love, finds out her boyfriend is a vampire, her boyfriend’s brother constantly tries to get with her despite her wishes, realizes her friend is being abused and puts a stop to it, tries to sacrifice herself multiple times to save her friends and family, is overly attached to her loved ones and forgives anything they do because of losing so many of them, is almost killed multiple times, her aunt dies, her brother dies, her guardian dies, her friends die, AND THEN SHE DIES (in a parallel with her past trauma and her father) IN FAVOR OF SAVING HER FRIEND.
some of y’all: wowww elena is so boring, worst character on the show, doesn’t have a personality
