r/TheVampireDiaries

I've been binge watching TVD and I am on s7. What confused me (amongst all other things that were confusing through the binge) was why the twins were transferred into Caroline's womb. That was so random to me.

I mean I understand that the actress was pregnant for real at that time and they had to write her pregnancy into the storyline, but still she was a random choice. And I guess the twins had to live so that they can shoot the spinoff series - Legacies (yet to watch)?

Could simply siphon their werwolf curse to use magic similar to how Syphon turned vampire draw on vampirism source for magic

Elena learns about the ritual with Klaus and decides she is willing to die so that her loved ones will be safe, right?

The problem is that from pretty early on she knew that the ritual also required a werewolf and a vampire to be sacrificed and she knew that Caroline and Tyler were the intended sacrifices(I can’t remember if she specifically knew about Tyler, but she did know about Caroline for sure from Katherine). So her not wanting to fight or look for a way out of it doesn’t just mean she will die. She’s agreeing to others dying too by going along with it, and she knows that her friends are the ones that are planned on being used. I’m always frustrated that when she’s at the cabin with Stefan and he’s trying to convince her to fight and to live that he doesn’t bring up that it wouldn’t just be her dying.

When she makes her deals with Elijah it obviously didn’t include getting Tyler and Caroline out of it too since they are still the ones about to be used until the last minute. I don’t think anyone in the group warns Caroline or Tyler(I know he was out of town and maybe hard to get ahold of), and the only reason Caroline and Tyler don’t die in the ritual is because Damon rescued them, and even that was just to try to postpone the ritual because he screwed up and forced his blood on Elena. Like yes, if Damon hadn’t interfered then Jenna would be alive, but Caroline and Tyler would both be dead instead.

TLDR: It frustrates me that so much of the story of season 2 is about Elena’s decision to let herself die to save others, when the whole time it actually still meant that others were going to die if the ritual happened, and she and the others knew that.

For me, the Heretics storyline had so much potential at first. The idea of vampire-witches returning with Lily sounded genuinely creepy and different from previous villains, especially because they had history with Stefan and Damon. But later it started feeling rushed and messy, and most of the Heretics barely got enough development to feel important. It could’ve been one of the darkest and most emotional storylines in the show but it ended up feeling kind of wasted.

What are the weaknesses and limitations that vampires have?

so i'm currently watching the 7th season of TVD and idk if it's just me but i got so annoyed by everyone trying to make damon feel guilty for not caring about lily's death. they act as though his feelings aren't valid and that it's just him being selfish when that couldn't be further from the truth. he's HURT. BETRAYED. RESENTFUL. just because stefan found a way to forgive her doesn't mean it has to be the same for damon. after all, it's said that stefan was more of a momma's boy(cause she favoured him more lets be honest) so it makes sense for him to look past his abandonment wounds.

the woman had literally moved on from her own children and never turned back and somehow damon is just supposed to suck it up and play happy family?? she told damon to his face that the woman who raised them isn't there anymore and that she much rather prefers a life where she doesn't have them in her life because looking at them reminds her of nothing but pain. imagine hearing your literal mother saying that to you and you're telling me you wouldn't feel the slightest bit resentful? yeah okay.

TL;DR

anyways, damon was justified in his hatred for lily and i don't think its anyone's place to tell him how he should feel about her. not even stefan.
