Meta: Mason Lockwood Is Not A Good Person

[opheliahyde]

+ I’ve seen the new episode of The Vampire Diaries and I can’t even right now, I’m so full of rage and confusion and I can’t really make sense of my thoughts. I liked scenes, but I decidedly did not like the episode as a whole. And since the episode made me have so many feelings, I was able to put them to good use completing one of the metas on my

I feel like I should say something interesting and insightful and meta-y but you've already discussed everything with me, so all I can say is THIS. THIS THIS THIS. THREATENING MY BB!ELENA IS NOT ON, MASON. DIE IN ALL FIRES (I have an Elena berserk button /o\ JUST LIKE STEFAN). Oh, I will say that it completely slipped my mind that Jenna and Mason are FRIENDS and he was still ready to snap Elena's neck. WHAT THE FUCK, MASON LOCKWOOD?

I still want Damon, Mason and John to form a "hilariously tragic lives" club.

Because I talk about Mason Lockwood a lot, EVEN THOUGH I HATE HIS FACE. I think it's because I find his continued importance to the plot maddening. THE ONLY IMPORTANCE HE WOULD HAVE, THEY'VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT AND WILL FOREVER DRIVE ME CRAZY UNTIL SOMEONE FIXES IT. Stupid plot hole is stupid. AND YESSSSS. SO NOT ON, MASON LOCKWOOD. I think it occurred to me when I was writing the meta and reading episode summaries to refresh my memory. And then I was all, "OHMYGOD, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, MASON LOCKWOOD?" It only makes sense in my land of head canon. It's happier there, everything is nice and nothing hurts.

John would hate Mason, too. So it'd be the hilariously tragic lives club with people who hate each other, which makes it even more hilariously tragic.

I find his continued importance to the plot annoying too. HE'S DEAD, CAN WE GET OVER IT? HOW COME ANNA'S DEATH ISN'T IMPORTANT ANYMORE BUT MASON'S IS? HUH, SHOW, HUH? *butthurt* (tell me why headcanon!Mason is willing to kill his friend's niece).

BUT THAT'S THE FUN! THEY HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT EACH OTHER, AND YET THEY ARE SO MUCH ALIKE. :DDDDD

The thing that bothers me is that... he served his purpose to the plot. He was one of Katherine's minions, he was a mirror of who Damon used to be, he gave the info we needed for the werewolf plot. But they keep making him important, EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES NO SENSE. Anna's death should be important, at least to Jeremy, but it's not and it bugs me. (I already told you this via AIM :D)

LOLOLOLOLOL! OH, I WOULD LOVE TO SIT IN ON ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS. They probably need Stefan there to referee and Mason and John say he plays favorites.

i agree SO MUCH and my emotions basically progressed the same way... with the exception of me not really having too much hope for the Mason-Tyler mentor relationship lol. he had his head too far up his ass XD

also, until you said it, I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT MASON AND JENNA WERE LIKE BFFS OR SOMETHING. he was one twisted wolfy!

[opheliahyde]

I had hope because I didn't really see Mason's purpose to the plot besides him having a mentorship with Tyler. Then after the Katherine reveal it all made sense and I hated him forever.

I think A LOT of people forgot. I didn't realize until I was writing the meta that he was BFFs with Jenna. Then he threatened to kill her niece. OH MASON /o\

[lavendergaia]

When we first met Mason, I didn’t know what to make of him

This is a lie. We all know it was poor man's Matt Cohen.

My love for you knows no bounds.

I have no helpful or distinct thoughts on this except:

THANK YOU! *bows* Mason used to be my most hated character (AFTER RICHARD LOCKWOOD, THERE IS SO MUCH HATE IN ME FOR RICHARD LOCKWOOD), but now I think I hate Brady more and am just amused and feel kind of sorry for Mason and his hilariously tragic life.

Also, I am finally working on my thoughts for latest episode of TVD. Just the Tyler section alone right now is almost 700 words /o\
