WIP WEDNESDAY

This is your daily reminder that there should be more Bonnie & Caroline friendship in fics, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

“God, I’m so excited for Tyler to finally be able to come home.”

“He won’t have to take orders from Klaus when he’s dead, that’s for sure,” Bonnie muttered. She glanced up when Caroline remained quiet, frowning slightly. “Elena mentioned he invited you to the ball? Why would Klaus do that?”

Caroline scowled up at the ceiling, annoyed by the direction the conversation had taken. “I have no idea.”

Bonnie stopped looking through the grimoire. “Well, what did he want last night?”

“I don’t know.” Caroline shrugged, a little lost, throwing a hand up. “He asked me to dance, we talked, he showed me his artwork-”

“Artwork?” Bonnie echoed.

Caroline frowned slightly, worrying her lip.

“Yeah, he’s an artist, I guess,” she tried to shrug off, like it wasn’t a big deal. Even serial killers had hobbies, right? She didn’t mention the drawing he’d done of her - nope, not happening. She scoffed, shaking her head. “I’m pretty sure interpol has half his art collection listed as stolen or missing - like the feds would have a field day if they raided that place.”

“So he asked you to dance, spent time with you, showed you his personal art collection…” Her best friend paused, slowly closing the grimoire, eyeing Caroline critically. “...like a date?”

Caroline shot up into a sitting position, glaring at Bonnie. 

“It was NOT a date,” she hissed, slicing her hands through the air, as if to ward the accusation off. “There was no ‘dating’ of any kind.”

Bonnie’s eyes widened a fraction and she deliberately turned her gaze back to the grimoire. 

“Sounds like a date to me,” she muttered under her breath, opening the book back up.

Caroline tried to push the memory of Klaus admitting he fancied her out of her head, something fluttering in her stomach. 

“He was just cozying up to me to get to Elena,” she tried to excuse. Her eyes shot to Bonnie, pleading with her to agree. “Right?”

Bonnie sighed, regarding her sadly. “Is it really that impossible to consider that a guy may actually like you?”

“Bonnie,” Caroline carefully enunciated, “It’s Klaus.”

Her friend rolled her eyes, closing the grimoire again and throwing it to the side. “Yeah, obviously I’m not saying you should date him, Caroline. I’m just saying you’re,” she shrugged, gesturing to all of her, “you know, a catch. Any guy would be lucky to have you.” 

Bonnie leaned forward, grasping Caroline’s hands in hers as she smiled softly. Touched, Caroline couldn’t help but smile back.

“Hell,” Bonnie continued, “Tyler doesn’t even deserve you after he left you for dead in the woods and then ghosted you.”

“He’s trying to break the sire bond for me, Bonnie,” Caroline pointed out, her glare half-hearted. Secretly, her friend’s fierce protectiveness warmed her heart.

“Even so,” Bonnie conceded, letting go of Caroline’s hands, “it was a dick move, one he made on your birthday of all days. You don’t have to excuse him all the time.”

Caroline sighed - Bonnie was right. She let her head fall into her hands, running her fingers anxiously through her hair. Biting her lip, she looked back up at Bonnie.

“And if Klaus does actually…like me?” she asked quietly.

Sheepishly, Bonnie smiled, the expression halfway to a wince. “Start growing wolfsbane in the garden?”

“Would that even work on a hybrid?”

“He’s part werewolf, right?” Bonnie shrugged, picking up her grimoire again. A wicked smile curled around the corners of her face. “You’d assume so.”

Caroline shook her head, grinning too as she pulled out her phone. “Guess I need to google where I can get wolfsbane from, then,” she said, like it was a great chore.

“Check Petco, maybe you’ll find the dog version of catnip.”

Unable to keep straight faces, they giggled, both of them doubling over laughing.

Sometimes the reading recommendations from my therapist knock me flat with how scathing the book titles are lmao. Yesterday after my mother talked abt how her recommended reading was going (Codependent No More) our therapist turned to me and said there's a book he recently read that would resonate with me bc of my adult baby biological father and everyone I've told the title to just bends over laughing at how BLUNT it is

Daydreaming about reading this in view of my narcissist father but I can't bc he fled the state after he realized I was able to help his 10-year gf leave him so he crossed state lines to not have me ALSO connect with his current gf and give her a sparknotes runthrough of his gaslighting methods

me watching the 18-19 year olds i graduated catholic school with getting married and hosting dry weddings because they’re too mf young to drink let alone get married:

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

ugh GOD the idea that a man makes a woman feel small and weaponizes her desires against her to maintain the upper hand and protect his own fragile ego due to his own insecurities I am SEETHING 🤬

[unawakening-float07]

all of my friends have been causally mentioning that they’re planning trips with each other these last few weeks and i do feel a little… hurt. i only have like five people i consider my very close group of friends and i’ve tried planning my own trips with each one of them individually and once as a group and every time, without fail, it always falls apart primarily because no one else but me has any interest in going. even when i pick something with universal appeal and somewhere cheap and it’s starting to bother me a bit more because as an adult, i’ve never taken an actual vacation and traveled anywhere and i really want to.

I asked my friend to place drivers on a political map based on vibes:

i'm wondering if i'm wasting my time talking to a boy who texts me once a month

[sweetdreamspootypie]

I got a fb notification I really didn't want, which prompted me to go and do some more tidying up and removing the last remaining connections to my exes on there

But in doing so, i get to appreciate a final parting cute thought

When they got married, they /swapped/ surnames. They both took the others name, but they don't have the same name

I don't know what they ended up chosing for the kids, but that idea of swapping isn't something I've encountered before and it's quite a nice idea

Just found out my two siblings are in my mom's will, but not me. Also my grandpa has told the entire family about his engagement. Except for me. Also my dad told my siblings that he and my mom bought a plot of land. Can you guess who they haven't told?

food review: happy crab (cajun seafood)

overall rating: ★★★★/5

what a cute lil place! reminded me of high school in a sort of amusement park sorta way (i'm used to peeling crawfish and shrimp in people's backyards rather than a restaurant), and it was so fun! had half a pound of crawfish, half a pound of shrimp, and some sausage!!

i re-learned to peel seafood (sad to say i forgot abt the crawfish digestive tract / poop thing until the second crawfishfjewiaofj). muscle memory helped me out tho :,)

minus half a star because they served me my food in a bag..? never seen that before, but ig it makes sense..? minus another half a star bc they only gave me one (1) piece of corn : (

also had a strawberry daiquiri! reminds me of a parade i went to with some hs friends where my friend's mom got us daiquiris and then we went to the mcdonald's where the worker said i'd look good w gages in my ear. i fell in love that night. (it doesn't take much to do it for me)

u know it's a Good Restaurant when they use those red cups w a random coca cola logo LMAO
