tvd/to for the ask

favorite character: caroline forbes (honorable mentions: tyler, rebekah, & klaus)

least favorite character: the s*lvatore brothers (they're just so overrated :p) and al*ric

brOTP: klaus/rebekah/elijah, matt/bonnie, matt/tyler/jeremy, stefonnie, barolena in any variation, carenzo, denzo, bamon, defan i guess :/

OTP: to absolutely no one's surprise forwood, klaroline, steroline, also carenzo and rebekoline as wasted potential crackships. as for non-caroline characters (yes i show favoritism towards her oops): jeremy/anna, klayley, bamon, bonenzo, elejah, beklena, mabekah, matt/bonnie (you two deserved so much more), denzo, kennett, stefonnie, and klaus/bonnie.

OT3: sterowood, bamenzo, klefaroline, matt/rebekah/nadia, [whispers] jeremy/anna/vicki

NOTP: st*ferine, m*roline (although they did have gr8 platonic chemistry/friendship, i just hated when it turned romantic because of ~heteronormativity~ and the fact that being together made their romo relationship extremely stale and uninteresting), d*roline, d*lena, also probs KC at some point based on scenes i like to avoid romanticizing as a general rule

favorite storyline: beklena finding the cure together/elena's vampirism in general. also elejah and forwood's interactions in s2 the good old days, s6 dark!steroline (chef's kiss), s3 klaroline, klaus versus his hybrids, klefan going on a murdery road trip together (they are hizzie before hizzie was even hizzie goodbye), katherine and nadia reuniting before the writers ruined that, bamon and the prison world, bonnie + shane's interactions (dark!bonnie was so so close we could have had it all)...... for such a terrible show it gave so much material.

least favorite storyline: d*lena sirebond nonsense probs, caroline/andie being reduced to a blood bag, st*ferine in s5.

what I wish had happened but didn’t: abby actually working hard for her and bonnie to have a relationship, caroline hating on DE in s4 for the RIGHT REASONS and reminding elena of the fact that she did not "jump into bed" on the first date but was assaulted, elena being free of the [redacted] brothers and regaining agency in s4, sheila having more of a presence on the show (and replacing the s*lvabros/al*ric as PRIMARILY BONNIE'S CARETAKER because she would prioritize her granddaughter first, but also protecting the rest of the scooby doo gang as well she'd also teach bonnie to value her self worth and not allow them to step all over her), BONNIE BEING ALLOWED TO MOURN the same way her white friends were allowed to, a motivation for bonnie outside magic, more love interests for bonnie, bonnie/qetsiyah interaction, caroline having motivations/storylines outside of male love interests, at least half the characters on this show being queer, luke parker being allowed to actually date men, nora realizing her exgirlfriend took the side of valerie's abuser over valeria and that she can do better/dating bonnie, katherine and nadia exploring their mother-daughter relationship, the mikaelsons and bonnie securing some kind of alliance

what happened that I wish hadn’t: d*roline (do i need to explain), tyler!klaus (it could have been an opportunity for michael trevino to show off his acting skills the same way nina dobrev did by playing multiple characters in one body, but instead the writers just had to go there), the second KC biting scene (which was completely unnecessary/recyled idea and totally could have been handled differently), katherine pursuing stefan instead of prioritizing her daughter

the originals

favorite character: klaus mikaelson, rebekah mikaelson (i love literally every character on this show tbh)

least favorite character: mikael i guess? also greta and her supernatural n*zis

brOTP: klebeklijah, davina/cami, davina/hayley, haymille, haybekah, vincent/klaus, klavina is totally my platonic crackship sh

OTP: klayley, klamille, haybekah, haylijah, elijah/gia, elijah/aya, kolvina, klaus/aurora because i find the toxic patterns of their relationship hella entertaining

NOTP: uhm idk...... s5 haylijah i guess

favorite storyline: when klaus found out about rebekah's "betrayal" (i have a lot of thoughts about this arc and the acting in these eps was*chef's kiss*) and totally went off his rocker lmfao, cami becoming a vampire (which for some reason isn't really popular), klamille's slow burn development, haylijah's s1 chemistry and buildup (i lost interest after s2), the introduction of genevieve's character, hayley becoming a hybrid, gia's vampire transition, marcel putting klaus on "trial" after davina's death, lucien becoming a hybrid 2.0 (which is basically just an original on redbull lmfao, how does JP expect me to buy that there's something more powerful than the very first vampires on earth), kol and rebekah bodysnatching, freya reappearing as the Long Lost Sibling in s2

least favorite storyline: elijah's character regression in s5

what i wish had happened but didn't: klayley basically "adopting" davina in some sense; and i wanted cami to be dark!cami for a little while longer so klamille could parallel steroline. also klayley exchanging platonic gestures (klaus's hand on hayley's shoulder, her hand on his arm when she told him kindness=/= weakness) should definitely have been utilized more.

what happened that i wish hadn't: [stares into the distance mournfully] s5
