I Do Love These Deep, Emotional Connections Between Characters On The Dark Side And On The Light Side.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, 1.16 ‘There Goes The Neighborhood’

Let’s go on a trip

I have recently discovered that cat cosplay is a thing. In fact, I think it’s my new favorite thing :)

This almost made me tear up. This was such a fantastic twist to Annabelle’s origin story! When Taliesin’s character first came in I hated him so much (the character; obviously I love Taliesin) because we believe, like Annabelle, that he straight up murdered her and then just left her to figure out how to be a vampire on her own. But man, the reveal that she died in her own fire and he saved her the only way he could? All of the feels. 

Then, of course, the way that Jasper just cares about her so much, and how he works to keep her grounded through this whole emotional interaction, and the way that he points out that she shouldn’t discount herself as a casualty of the cause she believes in... He just cares for her so deeply, in his subtle, quiet way. He gave me so many feels with just a single word. 

victor: you FIREBOMBED a sentor’s building?!?

carver: it was beautiful

annabelle: nobody got hurt!

jasper, so softly i could barely hear him over the crosstalk: you

Everything with Isaac is so sad and dark now, looking back after last week's episode. Maybe tonight he'll get redeemed and this will go back to being cute again. All the same, it would be a really powerful, heavy twist if they let his betrayal stand. I can't quite decide which I'd prefer, honestly.

Do you ever consider alternate names for ships? Like Spuffy could’ve been Billiam, or... or Bike.

Yeees, this is the parallel that immediately came to mind for me too! Oswald is speaking Ed’s language now :) Or perhaps he actually has believed in fate all along. 

Either way, I do hope Ed noticed and appreciated that particular turn of phrase. I think it’s reasonable to imagine he picked up on it, given how word-oriented he is; surely word choice like that doesn’t slip past someone who spends so much time and effort manipulating words via riddles. 

Anyways, I’m just thrilled to see them back together again :) Huzzah for Nygmobblepot submarine adventures!!

Wait a minute, they used Na Na Na in Renfield, a vampire movie... Which presumably means that they paid My Chemical Romance for use of that song... Which means....

They finally did it. MCR got their vampire money!

Mom: Why don’t you get out some cookbooks and look for a recipe? Let’s try making something different tonight. 

Me: Okay. *Goes to bookshelf and pulls out my Harry Potter and Doctor Who cookbooks*
