Fangirl Friday. Yes, I do still watch The Vampire Diaries.

By -



I still watch Vampire Diaries. There I've said it. I just love watching it for all it's twists and turns. I enjoying see what mess the characters have to dig themselves out of now.

 I guess Vampire Diaries is kind of what I term blob out TV. I'm not a Grey's Anatomy, Revenge TV viewer for my blob out television. Just a note that when I say blob out, I'm not meaning the show is terrible at all, it's just fun to enjoy and doesn't require any strenuous thinking on my part. I just love stuff with a supernatural bent and hence why it probably continues to hold my attention.

 So here are some of the numerous reasons why I'm still watching this show and don't miss an episode. You might think some of them are just plain ridiculous, but hey it keeps me glued.

Entertain Me


I like to applaud Caroline Forbes. Her character was so much better once she became a vampire.  Perfect candidate for a vampire in my opinion. She went from annoying cheerleader to BAM vampire. 


I like to scream at Matt. "Stop letting those bloodsuckers drink your blood!! You aren't a blood bag!" That alternates with, "Matt you need to leave Mystic Falls. Like yesterday." Or I sometimes ponder that Matt should become a vampire killer. That would spice things up.


Jeremy all your girlfriends die. I would like him to have a girlfriend that didn't.  Because they die and then they come back, they die and then they come back. I need Jeremy to have a solid, human girlfriend. Thank you. Yes, Bonnie, Jeremy has zero luck with keeping the ladies. Abort. Abort.


I ship Elena not being with anyone. Certainly not either Salvatore brother. Elena is an essential element in the show, but I just think her relationships with the brothers is kind of been there, done that. Time to move on. Haha I laugh at myself, because when Elena was with Stefan I wanted her to be with Damon. TV viewers are so fickle. Elena you can be happy without a Salvatore. I promise.
Say it like you mean it Elena!

Everyone Elena knows eventually dies. Wait did they? No magically most of them seem to come back to life, unless they are her parents, or Aunt Jenna. Poor Aunt Jenna. In that instance dead really was dead.
Yip. I'd be drinking as well.



How is it possible to consume so much straight alcohol? Crisis drink. Party drink. Planning drink. If I was drinking straight alcohol, I'll be on the floor in two drinks flat. I admire their stamina.

Man Candy. You have to hand it to the CW. They do man candy extremely well. Yes I know that Damon and Stefan don't even look like brothers, but I can suspend belief just to stare at them for a while.


They need to learn how to make a plan that doesn't end in collateral damage of supposed girlfriends / boyfriends. Plans generally equal somebody dying. Maybe not always dying for real, but dying at least temporarily.



The Burning Questions


 Is it ridiculous? Yes. 
Can no one die? No one can die if they are a main character. 
Can you bring characters back to "life" multiple times? Yes. 
Will Matt Donovan ever have a serious girlfriend? No
Will Jeremy Gilbert ever leave high school? No. Does he even still go to high school? Unsure.
Will Matt and Jeremy ever leave Mystic Falls alive? No.
Is Alaric sexy? Yes.

I'm With You Until the End


 So are you still with me watching this show. Joy in it's ridiculousness and love of the vampire. I don't watch it to be educated. I watch the show to be entertained and it always does that for me. I'll be watching until the end and I can't wait to see what the creators of the show have install for the characters.

 Go on. Tell me what show you still love to watch. Even if your friends no longer watch it.

    I've watched the series up to the middle of season 5, then I couldn't watch it. You asked: is it ridiculous? Yes! It became too much for me.

      I can understand that Merit. I really can. It is ridiculous, but strangely that doesn't bother me.

    Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: richvampirekindom@gmail.com

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu...

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti...

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -
Image
Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us...

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s...
