That's exaaaaaaaaaactly how I felt. I had zero desire to watch it when it started last summer, I totally ridiculed it based on the promos, and then suddenly it seemed like everyone in the world was watching it and talking about it, and... it's summer, and there's pretty much nothing on that I'm watching right now, so I gave in. It's quite endearing tbh. A lot more entertaining than I expected.
how I feel about them - I'm really interested in his history through the years and his relationships with Rebekah and Elijah, but as a character I'm not huuuuuugely intrigued tbh? Like, I'm interested in understanding more about how he became what he is, but I also don't really think he's all that complex; his insecurity and his fear and his goals are all rather simple and outlined already. I think some of his moments in season three were kind of ridiculous, but overall I love how Joseph plays him and I'm really, really glad he's not gone. (Although I do kind of hate how they keep failing to falling through with stuff because it makes it harder

I WANT TO BABBLE AT YOU ABOUT TEEN WOLF, but it's probably better if you ask me questions because all my ~feelings right now are from later episodes you haven't seen and I don't want to risk spoiling you. BUT I LOVE THAT CHEESY LITTLE TEEN SUPERNATURAL SHOW WITH ALL MY HEART. I remember Scorp and I originally watched it to make fun of the pilot. Then it was actually entertaining, then the storyline became interesting and intriguing and there was actual characterization and fierce ladies (Lydiaaaa, Allisooooon, KAAAATE; I even have a lot of fondness for Melissa McCall, PLZ SHOW MORE OF HER, TOO, SHOW) and it became this sleeper obsession. I'm kind of amazed at how many people are watching it now, last season I remember trying to push people to watch it and they would act as if I were on drugs and never believed me when I said it was good /o\ BUT ANYWAY, YES, I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS
( ... )
YAAAAY, OKAY, I CAN DO THAT. (I am also hoping to watch more tonight - the only thing impeding me from devouring the rest of the episodes I haven't seen is that I've been watching it my sister, so I have to wait till we're both free). But as of now, I probably have the most feelings about Allison and Lydia, and I was a bit of a late bloomer to the Allison feelings tbh. I wanted to like her right off the bat because I kind of have a ginormous crush on Crystal Reed, jeez, but I found her a bit bland, or at least I hated how sooo much of her storyline revolved around Scott? Which doesn't really fault her as a character, but... I also just did not understand what in the world she saw in Scott (I spent season one REALLY frustrated with Scott but I am working on it, lol) and that affected my judgment. I think I fell in love with Allison properly when she started the whole "I want to be strong, I don't want to feel like that again" arc because ughhhhhhhhhhh I have such a thing for characters who try to overcome fear like that, who are scared
( ... )
how I feel about them - I WISH WE KNEW MOOOOOORE ABOUT HER. I want to know all the things about Jeyne. But it's also interesting to see different fandom interpretations of her, so there's that. Idk, I just want more of her perspective of how things happened with Robb, and I want to know everything about their relationship, and her family relationships too. I think Jeyne is another example of a character who didn't really have much control in their circumstances, and that continues to be her tragedy in a sense, she's considered such a pawn by other characters, just a body, even when she was married to Robb she was seen that way by most people, I think. She was the girl who ruined the alliance with the Freys or she was the body that could give Robb an heir, and I just, I want to know more about Jeyne.
favourite scene - the scene mentioned by her mother about how she thrashed and fought when they tried to take her crown away because nooooooooo it gives me so many feelings, SHE IS A WOLF QUEEN,AND ROBB GAVE HER THAT CROWN

Aaah that ficathon looks amazing but I am staying away from it, I am still (perhaps futilely, I'm massively blocked D: ) working on a fill from the TVD ficathon (DOES ANYONE EVEN STILL REMEMBER IT???) and I'm all "I WILL NOT PLAY IN FICTHONS UNTIL I FINISH THAT ONE." But I am exciiiiiiiiiited for your Allison/Lydia fic *____* BABIES
ALSO, I WANT TO BABBLE AT YOU ABOUT TEEN WOLF TOO. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE SO MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY NEW FEELS, BUT TELL ME EVERYTHING. AND THEN YOU CATCH UP :D
AHHH, IT'S OKAY, I'M KIND OF STILL WORKING ON A FILL FROM THAT FICATHON TOO. (I'm just being irresponsible and letting it continue to collect dust in my WIP folder while I work on something new and shiny. Oops.) But yes, it is going pretty amazing, I am loving soooo much of the fic that has come out of it already

(LMAOOOO, SOME NEW IDEAS ARE JUST SHINY AND DISTRACTING! And I would totally encourage shiny Teen Wolf fic, yep. I am just...idk, STALLED on writing in general /o\) (also this is a really long multi part comment

DID YOU JUST ASK ME TO EXPLAIN MY STILES/DEREK FEELINGS TO YOU? OH NO YOU WILL REGRET THIS /o\
But okay they were my first ship in this show (well, no, my first ship was Scott/Stiles tbh, but only in the first few eps and then Scott treated Stiles terribly and I was all "nevermind, I can't ship this") and the first time I twinged on shippy feels was in the second ep where Stiles stares Derek down and says he's not afraid of him, Derek death glares, Stiles admits he's afraid and then continues to grill Derek for information, which sets up what I LOVE about Stiles and what I love about Stiles/Derek, that Stiles is scared and terrified and intimidated by Derek Hale but refuses to back down from Derek anyway. And that dynamic continues on for the rest of the show and I love it, I love that Stiles is constantly challenging Derek, and how he goes from being terrified to...still being intimidated by Derek but figuring out Derek and how to speak his language. Like, I love that scene in Wolfsbane where Stiles is harboring Derek in his room
( ... )
how I feel about them - Oooooh, okay, I like Elijah. I like the role he plays in the original family, and I like his relationship and deals with Elena, I loooved it in season two when she actually got to make her own decisions about what she wanted to happen and she knew exactly what she was promising him. I love the point he makes in season three about how their mother made them vampires, but they are the ones who made themselves monsters, I like that non-apologism and it's a great perspective to add to the show philosophy and consider. I'm really curious about his relationship with Klaus and what kept him so loyal over the years, why he was so devoted to his brother's plans and the search for Katerina and the moonstone and so on. I also really want to know at exactly what point he decided he had to kill Klaus. So, I'm curious about his history but I don't really know where they are going to go with him in present time and I don't really know if I WANT that much focus on him for a while? He's not relevant to the most important things

So, I'm curious about his history but I don't really know where they are going to go with him in present time and I don't really know if I WANT that much focus on him for a while? He's not relevant to the most important things going on, and there are enough secondary characters who don't get proper attention.
Yeah.... I'm also sort of ??? at the idea that Elijah should be made a regular (or whatever people say) because really, he works best in moderation. IDK, I agree that more fleshing out would be good, but I feel like one of the things that makes Elijah work (most of the time) is the vibe of ~mystery. If he's around too much, then that vibe is lost.
sorry for taking so long on this, I've been out of town, but eeeeee Rebekah!
how I feel about them - REBEKAAAH. I adore her so much. I'm so intrigued by immortality in regards to vampires, and I love that we see the struggle of that with her arguably more than any of the others - at least, she's been alive for a thousand years, an unimaginable duration of time if you think about it, and she's remained static in so many ways, she still feels young, she still feels like she HASN'T LIVED AT ALL, and uggggh I just want everything about immortality, that's one of my favourite themes when writing her. I also love the power dynamics with Klaus, and I want all the fic about the different time periods they lived through together.
favourite scene - "you're the only one who's never left me" annnnd hmmmm, probably the scene where she gets furious with Elena for telling her that Klaus killed their mother, or the scene where she was turned into a vampire (goddddd Claire looked gorgeous in those flashbacks /shallow, and also I love that she was a
( ... )
Ooh, yes, the whole duality between having lived one thousand years, and having never lived at all is fascinating, and I just wanted to hug her when she said that to Esther. Also how it all ties in with Klaus, because she's too entwined (and in love) with him to leave for one thousand years, even though it means a freedom and life she clearly desires so much. I can't wait to see where they go with her.
That Rebekah and Elena scene, such amazing emotional conveyence.
