Agreed, Agreed, Agreed.

I really don't have anything to add. I just wanted to flail over Klaus/Caroline with you. And its really hilarious to me that the whole time I was watching that scene I was thinking, "Crystal is going to be all over the potential of this ship with me."

Its just. Argh. This show. Every week this season they bring even more greatness.

And Klaus. I love Klaus so much. I just want to keep him and the rest of the Originals forever and I think it will kill me a little bit inside when they all get killed off.

I was so wrapped up in Tyler and Caroline that Klaus and Caroline never occurred to me.

But last night. I just want to watch that over and over.

Yes. Klaus cannot go anywhere.

Caroline/Klaus. STUNNED. But also not really. I'm never surprised by the pairings that happen on this show anymore. Like, Jeremy and Alaric could start having (textual) sexual tension AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED. This show.

Does Caroline remind Klaus of Rebekah?

IN ONE, dude. I mean, I really can't buy that Klaus has any interest in Caroline in herself. Well, I'm sure she finds her INTERESTING, but no more interesting than a bajillion other women he could be wooing. IT'S 'CAUSE SHE REMINDS HIM OF REBEKAH.

I can never quite tell when Klaus is being genuine or pretending to be and that's the big point

YES. Throughout that whole scene he was simultaneously being a humongous troll and also 100% sincere. IT WAS MASTERFUL.

Yes to your whole Elena/Stefan section. I HAVE NEVER LOVED THEM MORE.

I just in general also love the show calling out compulsion as taking choices and agency away in no uncertain terms.PREACH. But I LOVE that even though the narrative confirmed that it was wrongwrongwrong, the characters still went through with ( ... )

I thought they already did ... ? LMFAO. BUT DIDN'T I CALL THIS IN A REALLY TWISTED I WAS TOTALLY JOKING WAY OMFG

THANK YOU, I TOTALLY AGREE, YOU ARE ALWAYS CONSTANTLY VALIDATING ME :') I can't wait to see how this play out. SDKAJFOIAWEF

IKR ARGH. My sister doesn't understand this about Klaus. I'm always murmuring, "He's so delightful" when he's on screen and she's always like "what is wrong with you." what is not to get, he's a great character. why are you a hater. why are you trying to make good and bad teams, tvd especially doesn't really believe in them you know.

the characters still went ( ... )

Oh my friend Hannah littledivinity wrote about the D/E scene and I wanted to ~share with you because it's spot-on, I think:

I shall see Elena try to put off a kiss, thinking Damon would go for it anyway, and that way she would be able to convince herself not to feel guilty because it was Damon taking what he wanted instead of them meeting in the middle. That sounds judgmental of Elena. I think Elena didn't even realize that's what she was doing or that she has a tendency to do that. She passes the buck on very few things, but her culpability in regard to Damon and Stefan and their triangle is one of them. She likes to act like Damon is reacting to absolutely nothing, and simply taking what isn't his, and what she wasn't offering. On some level, I suppose, that's vaguely correct. But when he said he knew they couldn't kiss, that flash of confusion almost implied that there's some sort of ... not game, but a standard set of actions she expects. And it comforts her that she doesn't have to ask herself if she wanted that kiss, because she can always ( ... )

OOOH, THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME. Innnnnnteresting. ITA about Elena. She really would rather believe that she holds no culpability in this thing with Damon. Which is totally understandable, because this thing with Damon is awful, lol. (And also why Damon takes it upon himself to be the bad guy sometimes. See: the kiss.) I forgot to talk about this in my review, but I totally giggled when Elena kept saying "I can't" -- even after Damon said he wasn't planning to kiss her again! It was adorbs, and sounded like she was just having a conversation with herself. All the while staring at his mouth. :) I can't with these fools sometimes ( ... )

I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR THOUGHTS? IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE AGREED WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF ANYONE'S THOUGHTS ON THIS SHOW. But seriously, word to all the Klaus/Caroline stuff (there's been so much fic and gif-fing that I found myself delighted by the fact that so many people must've been totally been happy about this).

LMAO, TOTALLY SAID THAT THINK ABOUT ONE BRATTY BLONDE TEEN BEING LIKE ANOTHER. But, now, after all the interview reading, I think I can see it a little. Like, it came out of nowhere after having been fanon for so long, but I can see where it CAN go. I think I agree that Klaus has some initial nefarious plan that he's trying to get Caroline on his side for, but I don't think it needs to stay that way? Like, even after a bajillion years it's possible to develop an interest in someone because of something that you understand about them, even if it's not obvious. I mean ditto S/E/D; there's nothing particularly special about Elena herself in the context of other girls in Mystic Falls, ( ... )

:o oooooo /flattered

Seriously the best part of this Klaus/Caroline stuff is for the first time a popular completely fanon/out of left field ship is like, real? SO PEOPLE LOVE IT ALREADY AND REJOICE

Yesssss, exactly. I've roleplayed some Klaus/Caroline/Stefan stuff and it's always been on the premise of taking Caroline along on adventures to keep Stefan in line / because god, it's Caroline who is remarkably human and sunny and hopeful despite her vampirism and Klaus just wants to poke at it and forms a fascination and attraction to her. AND THAT JUST MAKES SENSE TO ME? I could see ( ... )

Oh man, Crystal, I love how much you love this show. It's making me wish that there was a fandom that I was THAT INTO right now, but I'm just not. I know how fun it is to be so into a fandom though... and I just... don't have anything at the moment. But yes. I love seeing how excited you are about your vampires, and their diaries.
