OTP: Caroline/Stefan (But I ship a lot of Caroline ships. I ship practically all the Caroline ships, even the ones that don’t make sense to anyone that isn’t me.) Ultimately its probably Caroline/Happiness or Caroline/getting the heck out of MF or Caroline/Never getting tortured again. Brotp: Caroline + Tyler. (Sometimes I ship it, sometimes I don’t. But I always loved it best when it was just the two of them being friends.) Also Caroline and Bonnie and Elena, all the screwed up aspects included.
Head Canon: It took longer for Caroline to fall in love with Tyler than it did for him. After Damon and Matt and all the boys before them, it just seemed so much harder for her. She liked them for what they were, she liked having him as her friend (because she had never had a friend like him before, someone so completely on her side), and then they were something more, but Caroline didn’t know what, and then they were boyfriend and girlfriend and that seemed nice. They were nice. But she was still Caroline and she was waiting for the walls to cave in on her (they always did) and this time it was Klaus who did, who broke them. And she didn’t blame Tyler for that, but she just recognized it as fact, like something written in a textbook. But things seemed better, Tyler thought he was better, and he told her he loved her, but she didn’t say it back because she didn’t think she’d mean it. (She wouldn’t have.) It took her much longer to fall in love, it took her too much thinking and late night worrying and long distance phone-calls for her to finally get to the place where she could say she loved him. But even then, when she said it and meant it, she still felt like she was still playing catch up, like they were still in two different places. But she didn’t know how to tell him that.
(This came out weirdly more like fic than the meta it was intended to be…Hopefully you don’t mind.)
Unpopular opinion: I loved human Caroline. She was my favorite character from day one, from that first episode and no one has ever taken her place. And I don’t think becoming a vampire has changed her, not fundamentally, not like people say it has (in canon and the people in fandom). She is who she has always been, and she has learned and she has grown, but she is still that same person who plans school dances and does her make-up maliciously everyday and still envies Elena and her relationship with Bonnie (with Matt, with Stefan, with everyone), and wants attention and sometimes seeks it from the wrong people (Damon, Klaus comparisons are so there). She is still who she always was and I love her for that even more.
A wish: A long arcing storyline that doesn’t have to do with a male character (or at least not much to do with one). I’ve loved so many of Caroline’s storylines and they do tie in almost always with other male characters and they have shaped her and they have shown us (and her) new sides of her, have taught us new things, but I would love a storyline that centers on her herself as a person first and foremost. Whatever it may be.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Please don’t die. I need Caroline to live through the series, I need her to go on and see the world even if we as viewers don’t get to see it. I just need it okay.
5 words to best describe them: Bubbly, strong, fighter, blunt, and sexy.
