Can we stop hating on matt for 5 secs

i know everyone thinks Matt is "boring" compared to the vampires but if you think about it hes actually the most impressive character in the whole show while everyone else was busy having "epic" supernatural romances and drinking blood Matt was out here working double shifts at the grill to pay rent because his mom literally abandoned him all while surviving 8 seasons of pure chaos as a regular human he didn't have magic or super-strength yet he survived being a human blood bag losing his entire family and dying multiple times just to help his friends. We call him "annoying" for being anti vampire but ig hes the only one who actually stayed sane and kept his morals when everyone else was justifying murder he wasnt boring he was just the only normal guy in a literal horror movie who refused to become a monsterand for that igg our busboy deserves some serious respect lowk I also hated him alot but since Im rewatching i realized he was the only sane person in Mystic Falls

Unpopular Opinion: I like Elena's personality change aftef becoming a vampire.

I think 1. She grew up and started college and thats really poignant in s5 and s6 with her stylistic change. In s1 she was 17 and in highschool, by s6 she had had 3 boyfriends, became a vampire and started college, plus losing quite literally her entire family and friends. I think the change was necessary for the show!! She, Caroline, Bonnie and Jeremy all grew up and became way more mature in the later seasons which was necessary for the continuation of the show. But that doesnt mean I prefer Elena s6 to Elena s1. I actually love her both as a human and as a vampire, as well as I love her with stefan and damon.

When Im watching s1-2 i find myself being a big stelena shipper and loving Elenas human side with the long straight hair etc... But when i watch s5 I like Delena and Elenas tan skin and wavy hairstyle. And ive see the show over 10 times and I still feel this way everytime. I personally can not see Stelena ever again at s6 and much prefer their friendship, but as soon as i decide to rewatch, I know im gonna being falling in love with stelena again.

What im saying is that I think Elenas character changed for the better and that there waa no way she could have stayed the same as in s1. Shes cool and witty and carefree and I honestly love that for her! She was very restricted as a Human with alot of peer pressure but as a Vampire in s6 especially shes definitely started to loosen up and being a bit more independent in her self.
I think worst of all would s4 with the sirebond, humanity off. I think her straight hairstyle as a vampire (especially when theyre on Nova Scotia) falls a bit flat and it only suited her as a human.

The heretics narrative is quite literally the worst plot to ever come out of TVD.

I always skip it when I do my rewatch but this time I decided to watch it. Reminds me why I always skip. 😒

TVD X Dawsons Creek

- If you're Team Stefen are you Team Dawson or Team Pacy? And Why?
- If you're Team Damon are you Team Dawson or Team Pacy? And Why?

What is something you’ve noticed in TVD that just doesn’t make sense?

I know it’s just a show and I love it nonetheless, but I’ve come across sooo many narratives, gaps, or things that happen that would never happen logically.

One I can think of right now since I’m at this point in my rewatch, is that Lily never came to physically check on Damon and Stefan when she turned. She could’ve easily appeared to them and then compelled them to forget. If a mother or even a Lily version of a mother could see her children she would have. Especially with the strength and power of a vampire. In season 7 the idea portrayed is that she actually does love them despite making her seem like she had zero emotion towards them in season 6 (which is another contradiction).

Since she loved Stefan and Damon enough to try to run away with them when they were kids, and consequently stay with her abuser just so he wouldn’t take them away, I just think realistically she would’ve gone to see them herself even secretly instead of sending other people to do it. I guess that would’ve ruined the mommy dearest narrative because they would’ve remembered when they turned but still.

Also another (since I’m in season 7) if the huntress existed and was such a ruthless and successful vampire hunter, and also a derivative of the brotherhood 5, it doesn’t make sense that she didn’t show up earlier or that these guys had never heard of her. And Damon choosing to sign off and desiccate when Stefan is at risk of being killed by her is so unrealistic. He would never do that especially since it was his fault. He would stick around until the problem is fully resolved. I know he’s selfish but he’s not leave-Stefan-to-die selfish.

Anyway that’s my take - you may agree or disagree. I’d love to hear any others.

Edit: I just remembered when Enzo killed himself via Stefan and they made such a big deal about how Stefan killed him when he didn’t and all he had to do was explain what really happened. Stefan just let everyone think he killed him. Also Enzo actually references Stefan killing him too (when he’s torturing them from the other side) which is crazy coz he knows damn well he pushed himself onto the stake.

Pairings that I liked better than their character endgame

This is just my silly little list that i'm making on my 7th rerun of TVD rn. These are some of the. ships i genuinely enjoyed and imo might've better than who the characters ultimately ended up with.

Klaus-Caroline (obviously)

Rebekah-Matt (i think he challenged her a lot emotionally and morally and it was sweet when they finaly got together)

Damon-Rose/Andie (what i really loved about both these women was they were age appropriate for Damon and had a more mature connection/banter with both of them. Refreshing to watch)

These are what i have so far, lmk if ya'll have ships like these too!
