So I’m at the end of season 5. I have watched the whole thing but I was a teenager and now I’m an adult with very different opinions than my teenage self.

I’m not a Delena lover and the main reason is because Damon wanted Elena from the start and he finally gets her and is constantly breaking up with her and icing her out because they don’t work blah blah blah.

So why be with her in the first place?

He’s known her for a few years now and knew that he’s not good for her get he still pursued her and now he has her he’s being so inconsistent whilst Elena is left chasing after him.

Like if you’ve wanted this girl for years and you finally get her you do everything you can to just be with her and be happy.

Stefan and Elena never had those problems it was pretty much smooth sailing, they were ready for each other and good for each other so this is why Delena makes no sense for me. I think it should have been a moment of passion but then Elena should have found her way back to Stefan. That’s what makes sense to me. Delena just doesn’t seem right.

Let me know what you think

EDIT:
I’ve just remembered the doppelgänger prophecy which is just more proof that Delena should not have worked. It was always supposed to be Stefan and Elena the universe said so.

I have watched both TVD and TO. I am not saying the originals is bad but compared to TVD it honestly doesn’t come close for me at all. Even the originals storyline in TVD is better than any storyline in the originals. It took me a while to even get through TO because it was bland. My favorite storyline was when Esther, kol, and fine were in other bodies and maybe the first sire lines aswell. I think TO was boring cuz they were over 1000 years and their always and forever and always choosing family made them unbearable. I wish we saw more of a lavish lifestyle aswell and more through the ages.

So in tvd when Alaric killed Klaus Klaus's soul was saved by Bonnie and placed in Tyler to save the sireline. However when the Hollow killed Elijah Elijah's sireline died despite his soul being saved by Freya and placed in a pendant. Plothole or do you think it's something about Elijah's soul being damaged?

When they say goodbye to Elena at the end of season 6, they are all compelling themselves into her consciousness.

So why wasn’t it canonically an option to just talk to her everyday that way? I know logistically it was because Nina was leaving, but that’s why the sleeping beauty spell is silly because there was a way for Elena to be in everybody’s lives.

Yeah it’s inconvenient but Damon could’ve still been with her in some shape or form. I know they set up that they had to lock her in the crypt with a spell to protect her from vampires wanting the cure, but the cure and the five/silas were a secret to nearly every vampire, so why would it be suddenly public knowledge after being off the table.

In some ways, I do like the path they took because it gave an end goal for Damon to take the cure at the end of the series, but I think if I were to rewrite it, I’d have Kai lock her in a prison world and then the prison world goes blip after he turns himself into a heretic.

Then the rest of the series is trying to get her back but they get distracted by the heretics, sirens, devil, etc.

Or i’d film scenes of Nina before she left reacting to the cast and just write in a reason for her to stay silent when they all talk to her every 5 episodes or so.

Damon had Sheriff Forbes run a background check on Alaric and she said it came up clean. But Meredith Fell does a background check when Alaric is being possessed by the ring and she finds all this stuff. Am i missing something? or is this another plot hole lol.

Possibly a stupid question for a 7-season series but is there any major plot issues that caught you attention during your initial watch or rewatch.

With the big build up of Silas throughout the fourth season, I believe it should’ve been the ending to the show or at-least play a big part in an explosive way next season instead of Silas just being a “doppelgänger” of sorts. The twist in the season finale was a “wtf” but the execution felt like Paul Wesley just wanted to do something fun for once nothing with any impact.

Season Four was the last season that had major impact on anything.

I can see Elena being with Damon like because of the sire bond, or when she turned her humanity off, but it just doesn't make sense when you REALLY think about it. He was so evil. Look what he did to Caroline, to Jeremy, to Lexi. Killing Jeremy just because Elena rejected him is straight up ABUSIVE behavior. How could Elena ever forgive that? Yeah sure, he kinda became a sweetheart later on. It still doesn't excuse his behavior. Especially after Elena becomes human again. Plus Damon said he loved being a vampire and that being a human sounded miserable and when you think about it, how did he survive as a human? He was so used to compelling everyone, using violence and anger to get his way, and he was a bit of a lush. People tend to overlook these things because he's "so hot." I could see them having a brief fling, but I think it would have made more sense if Elena got with another human at the end, Damon stayed a vampire, and they went their separate ways but that's just my personal opinion.

I'll never forget in the first season when Caroline was really flirty with Stefan and he shut her down and said "it's never going to happen." Ever since then he really kinda stuck by that. Him and Caroline were friends and then in Season 6 she starts letting herself fall for him again and he keeps pushing her away and she seems to get mad at him that he won't reciprocate her feelings. So then he gets to feeling bad and it seems like he tries really hard to force himself to have romantic feelings for her. It just never made sense to me and it's super cringe to watch what seems like a very forced relationship. Am I alone in this?
