Last night's attempt to finish my story was a complete failure. I had just finished working six days in a row, so I was quite brain dead. I have been diligently working on the story since 10 o'clock this morning, but I can't tell if I'm making any headway or if I'll finish it by the end of today. Maybe by tomorrow's end...? I've chopped some stuff out that wasn't really working and added a few bits to make it flow better, so the word count hasn't changed a great deal: it's up to 11,630 from around 10,200. I also had to shuffle some parts around so they'd make chronological sense. I'm taking a break so I can clear my brain and then tackle some of the scenes that are barely above the mishmash of notes level. Two of those scenes include Matt and I'm not looking forward to writing them. The scenes are from Caroline's POV so I have to write Matt like he's the bestest boyfriend in the whole wide world. *barfs*
So. I hear Tyler's coming back this week. I guess I'd better catch up on the episodes so I'm ready on Thursday. I am really glad he's back, but a part of me is so worried about what might happen to him when he returns that I can't seem to muster up any excitement, only fear. I'm also concerned his scenes with Caroline (and there had better be some!!!) will only consist of Klaus related stuff. I need to see Caroline and Tyler start working through the crap they experienced from 2x13 onwards, but I just know I won't get the T/C reconciliation I want because heaven forbid TVD makes Paloma happy. *sigh* I might, might, settle for Tyler kicking Matt's ass to the next county for turning on Caroline once he learned she was a vampire.
Instead, I'm sure I'll get to see more of Caroline continue to fall over backwards to win Matt's love and approval: "I don't care if you don't understand me [like Tyler clearly does] or accept what I am now [even though Tyler always has], and I'm not sure if you ever really loved me [even though Tyler obviously does], I WILL STUPIDLY LOVE YOU FOREVER ANYWAY, MATT." I've soooo had enough of that. If the writers don't throw me a T/C bone in these final episodes of season two, I am going to be so angry. I'm talking raging fire of a thousand suns angry. The only thing that might assuage this anger would be if a certain character (whose name rhymes with "rat") didn't make it to season three. And no, I don't want him gone because he's an obstacle for Tyler/Caroline. I want him gone because I can't watch him treat Caroline like dirt anymore, and then watch Caroline continue to crawl back to him like a kicked puppy, begging for even the smallest scraps of attention. I am just so done with that and I don't want to see this continue in season three.
Time for food and then more writing. (I hope!)
