Unpopular? Opinions: The Vampire Diaries Edition

Bonnie Bennett Deserved So Much More and So Much Better. As did Ms. Kat Graham!

Sending you a torturous fun TVD ship ranking challenge, no ties allowed! Rank each of these from the one you love most to the one you like least: Stelena, Delena, Matt/Caroline, Caroline/Tyler, Steroline, Klaroline, Bonnie/Jeremy, Bonnie/Enzo, Damon/Katherine, Stefan/Katherine, Stefan/Valerie, Rebekah/Matt, Alaric/Jenna, Jeremy/Anna (I'm sorry, but I can't include Caroline/Alaric because my mind protects my sanity by pretending they were never a thing!) I can't wait to see your rankings!

1) Delena,

2) Klaroline,

3) Stefan/Katherine, Bonnie/Enzo,

5) Caroline/Tyler, Matt/Caroline

6) Rebecca/Matt,

7) Alaric/Jenna

8) Damon/Katherine

9) steroline

10) I don’t remember Valerie

11) all the Jeremy ships

[ insert infinity of space here ]

12) Stelena

Do you think what Damon did to Caroline is the same as what Katherine did to Stefan? Cause I think it is and it pisses me off when I see people think daroline is the worst ship to ever exist but then proceed to ship steferine.

I love Damon and like Katherine way more than Stefan and Caroline, I prefer villains and anti-heroes way more than heroes, but I don’t understand how anyone can like either of these two ships.

Trigger Warning: Discussion of r*pe/SA

I agree, there is no difference in what Katherine did to Stefan and what Damon did to Caroline and Andie.

I'm going to start by saying I do not like either Katherine or Damon. Yes, I know it is a show about supernatural creatures and we have to suspend reality, but no matter what world/fandom we're in, there is still a moral code. If there wasn't, we wouldn't have "good" guys and "bad" guys.

I can overlook and move on from a lot of bad things because with most "bad" acts there are mitigating circumstances. I truly believe anyone can be pushed to commit a lot of the terrible acts on the show, like murder, given the right circumstances. Usually it'll take a lot more than what's on the show, but that's where we suspend reality a bit. However, rape and sexual assault, no. There is never mitigating circumstances. No tragic backstory is going to make me overlook this.

I do believe in rehabilitation, but because the writers refused to admit what they did, we never get that with either character. No matter how you see it, both Damon and Katherine compelled people's choose away and proceed to have sex with them. That is the definition of rape. I will not argue with anyone on this point. It doesn't matter what the person intended the second before. The moment Damon/Katherine took their ability to consent away, it was rape.

Personally, Damon is my least favorite character and Katherine is close by it. Yes, I enjoy some of their scenes and they are "iconic" at times, but I could just never get past those scenes. I dislike Damon more because he received no consequences. He got a happy ending while Katherine didn't, so I'm more at peace with that story arc for Katherine.

I want to put a caveat so everyone is clear: I am never going to tell people who they can like or not like or who they should ship. Everyone comes to the fandom with different life experiences and like different ships for different reasons. Fiction allows us to like our toxic ships or like our healthy ships, whatever helps us cope with reality. But I do think it is important to acknowledge the potential harm so that we can recognize it in real life. This blog is just my personal takes on the situations/characters.

If you want to like daroline or steferine, go for it. But, again, it's important to acknowledge the toxicity in both. We all love a good anti-hero and some people enjoy enemies to lovers (not my cup of tea), but be prepared for others to not like it. We could all use a deep breath and take a step back in this fandom when it comes to ships. A lot of them are really toxic and some are less so, but still probably toxic. But at the end of the day, being toxic online to real-life people will always be worse than liking a toxic fictional character. (this is not directed to anon, just a general note for the fandom because I've seen so many people get into such nasty fights over fictional ships)

Thanks for the ask! Sorry I went off on a side tangent there <33

Well look at that it's 2024, and my new years resolution is to stay an unbothered icon queen, and hope the hater's die mad. But I also thought I'd take a second to shout out to the people who make the shit show of a year 2023 bearable, and even enjoyable in some cases.

As trash as the rpc has a tendency to be there are still a lot of you that make this place more than worth it. I clearly cant shout out to all 900 something followers but I can highlight some of you. If you're not listed don't worry I still appreciate you immensely for being here, these are just the people that have really impacted my time here so far.

@unsettledspirits / @zoomingupthathill what can i say that I already haven't. There's 3 months worth of daily reasons to love you. You built the one ship that beat Steferine with me, honestly it was a surprise to everyone. Happy to see you back on Max ruling over your ST kingdom.

@hybrid-royalty-main Damon you piece of shit, I hate you the absolute most, and I'm so glad youre here with all the boys tbh. You bring such a unique quality to each one of them. Especially were-jer, it has been an absolute HOOT watching you take on the challenges of a teenaged were pup.

@baby-royalty My sired child with loyalty so unwavering you make the sire bond in the show look tame lmfao. The universe pulled us together the second I stepped foot into this hellsite again and I have enjoyed watching you grow into the person and writer that you are now. I'm proud of you.

@klaeus Kiki I adore you sm, you and your knock off brand doppelganger and scruffy mutt hybrid (affectionate) I love talking about the show and dynamics and honestly just about everything with you. You try, and thats more than most people do for me. Plus your grafics are just chefs kiss.

@multi-royalty Maddie this is like 3 years we've been besties, the caroline to my Elena. I've loved watching you branch out into new circles of friends and grow as a writer. You're absolutely killing it.

@ofcrossrcads Cribby, my darling I adore you. You are simply the sweetest, and keeping you here aggressively as my friend was one of the best things ive done in my life. I am always right here if you need me for anything &lt;3

@hargrove JT WTF. How are you so talented? Honestly youre the bees knees and I am SO HAPPY to have reached out to write with you bc I wasn't expecting Katherine and Billy but here they are and tbh im here for it. Tho everything you write is top notch, you're just flawless with every reply. And for that reason katherine said, you can go ahead and keep your halfbreed in the dog house. LMFAO. But for real I am so happy to have met you.

@petrovawitch Kenz, Katherine says fuck you for bringing her pain in the ass sister back- but im really glad you did. We adore you both even if we're spicy at times bc you know were brats hehe

@havvkinsqueen / @stanfordprepped My fellow digidestins, I am so happy to have met you. Both of you are just pure goodness spun into a little ball of sunshine. Honestly the most supportive people ever, the RPC needs you desperately. Just please remember that I have your back just as much as you have mine. We digidestin gotta stick together. &lt;3

Ok ok ok I cant shout out to literally everyone individually so these people also are super important to me and have made my experience here this year amazing, thank you for all you do-

@langdhon@ravenskeeper@salvatoraes@sarcasticsnackpack@sithdestined@nexusvcrti@ofvalor@imundus@brokenbrxther@loyaltylanced@spellsigns@ruinedmyself@ravmalakh@touchedbydestiny

OK but "Mr Salvatore will see you now" would actually sound kind of iconic and from the way Elena called him Mr Salvatore in 1x04, we been knew she e n j o y e d saying that... OK if it's not too late the steferine/stelena fic needs some Stefan being referred to as "Mr Salvatore" added in too

L M A O. It's so funny how I have an idea of how to work in a Stefan Salvatore Christian Grey type thing.

Unpopular Opinions: The Vampires Diaries Edition

Delena Was Not Cute

Ewww. Officer, it's these two right here.

To be honest, after watching the Series for the 100th times, i have changed my mind a lot. One being that, Delena was not my OTP for this show, I do not really think Stelena is a cute couple either, but I found them a lot more tolerable than these two. But the thought of Delena being this Amazing Epic couple never crossed my mind. It's weird because the actors actually dated in real life, but they just didn't seem natural to me, Paul and Nina definitely seemed way more electric in my opinion, if the writing had been better for them. It felt like to me, that the writers purposely made Stelena kind of boring, so when Damon and Elena got together, it would be more lustful, and heated, more intense, but to me Damon just seemed crazy, to the point where I just cringed. He was so Obsessive and Possessive. They were not sexy, they were not hot, and their dialogue to each other was so corny. I genuinely believe if roles had been reversed they gave Stefan Damon's personality (and they had taken out the horrible stuff), I would not feel this way. (I am not saying that Stefan is a good person.) But the biggest Issue that I have was that Damon honestly did so many horrible things to Elena, and her loved ones, and she forgave him immediately, he hurt her friends, he hurt her family, her classmates and so many innocents in this town, and don't even get me started on Caroline and Andie, and caused so many of the problems that we get in this show.

YEAH, I DIDN'T LIKE THEM!!! AND I WILL NEVER LIKE THEM!!!
