#it was such a subversion I genuinely needed a moment to think and prosses everything

[megaawkwardhuman]

it just hit me that this is the first season finale that doesn't end on a major cliffhanger

season 1 had the van helsing blood reveal

season 2 had the whole guillermo killing a theater of vampires thing plus revealing to the vamps that he was a slayer

season 3... was season 3 (what WASN'T a cliffhanger!?!?)

and season 4 had memo going to derek to make him a vampire

but the last moment of season 5 where laszlo and guillermo bringing derek back from the dead and that wasn't a cliffhanger like AT ALL

doesn't mean that the finale leaves us with no expectations or things to look forward to next season (guillermo no longer wishes to be a vampire and his relationship with the vamps have indeed changed for the better so it'll be interesting to see where that goes)

it just didn't give us a major what's going to happen note to end things on

and you know what? hot take: GOOD

to me it's a breath of fresh air after two months of chaos

plus idk if my heart could have handled a major cliffhanger
