make me your aphrodite

[lynzie914]

A post full of randomness basically.

+Somebody should totally make me a Steroline video to Leighton Meester’s new song Heartstrings. Partly because I’m newly obsessed with it and partly because its perfect for the beginning of S5 and where their relationship is right now.

I 100% agree with you on everything Steroline! I actually think, especially for TVD standards, the show is handling them quite well. And it was a good way to let Stefan act like a jerk, because it's understandable and forgiveable (since he was acting out of grieve and trying to figure out a way how to just be without his brother and the likely prospect of never seeing him again, and lets face it he's the only one of them who can even begin to understand what it's like to live eternity without somebody) but not excusable because at the end of the day bad behavior never is. And it's good that he acted that way not just in general but to Caroline, so that like you said she would realize that Stefan is just as capable of acting like a dick as everybody else, and of course for any future relationship of theirs it's good to know for both of them that they can work through something like this

[lynzie914]

Yes, exactly! I love that we're on the same page on this. I'm loving what their doing with the two of them. Because like you said, you can see both sides. You see the girl who lost everything and was reaching out to the one person who was always supposed to be there. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Especially after how close they had gotten last year, and more than that she because she watched him die

[chleansmile]

Everything you said, plus this time around there's no 'his switch was flipped to 'humanity - off'' to explain his shitty behavior, but the exact opposite in fact, Stefan acting like an *ss because his feelings over the loss of his brother are so overwhelming they eclipse everything else. Which actually might help Stefan's case if he would just come clean about everything to Caroline, because she definitely understands letting your feelings get the better of you.

[lynzie914]

Very true. That was the thing about the last episode and him trying to "fix" things with Caroline. He was looking for a list of things to do, but what he needed to do was well actually apologize and beyond that explain. That it wasn't Mystic Falls or Caroline that he was running from, that it was a life without his brother that he thought was permanent. That his actions were fueled by grief.

And like you said, Caroline is understanding (sometimes too much so) and I think if he would explain/remember that he hurt her, she would understand. She lost Bonnie too, she's lost other people and she wouldn't know how it felt to lose people that have been part of her life for so long, but Caroline would understand to the best of her ability.

Cordelia Chase please :)

[lynzie914]

How I feel about this character: I love Cordelia, everything about her, flaws and her best qualities. I love that she reigned the high school, that she was introduced the world of vampires and just kind of rolled with it. It’s not that it wasn’t new or scary, but it was something she had to deal with so she did. And that’s what she continued to do with every new and scary thing in her life. Whether it was love and heartbreak or it was the visions or anything else life through at her; she struggled and she bled and she kept her important. I love that she became a hero, and she was a hero, but she never lost who she was. She became a fighter, but she still loved designer clothes and shoes, she became more powerful, but she still said the things no one else would say.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: I think Xander and Doyle’s relationship with her were important for character development (but I wasn’t really a fan of Xander and her) but it really comes down it will always be Cordelia/Angel for me. (Though

I was lurking on this journal, but am totally delurking because Cordelia/Gunn! And their chemistry! I am the same as you, and aren't sad that it happened but would have been into.

My het ship: See OTP?
My fem/slash ship: Cordelia/Buffy; which I guess means I should have added her to the list…but I have a big thing for parallels and understanding. And I don’t think either one of them ever really realized how much alike the two were, but they were in a lot of ways (and of course very different in a lot of ways too), and I think they would have understood each other in a way that no one else could have.
My OTP: Cordelia/Angel; I go for the doomed ships. Obviously.
My OT3: I don’t think I have one…maybe if I think on it??
My cross over ship: Hmmm, for all my love of crossovers, I admit, I haven’t really thought about this much. I think it might be interesting to see her and early days SV!Clark. She would push him and yet also help him save the day and she would force him to get a better wardrobe and it would become kind of adorable.
A headcanon fact: The first part of season four was the real Cordelia, that they did wake up Jasmine with her spell and she began taking over her body, but she struggled and didn’t

Rory from Gilmore Girls?

[lynzie914]

Oh, unexpected fandom! Yay! Though I warn, my GG knowledge is not what it used to be. They don't rerun it as much sadly.

How I feel about this character: I like the duality of Rory. I like that she was a hard worker and that she pushed herself to be number one. But that she crumbled when she wasn't. That the world broke her at times in the simplist ways, by just not telling her that she was good enough, by making her feel like she wasn't. That's something I can relate too. I think sometimes the world/her home town was too kind to her and therefore she wasn't fully prepared for what was to come, and interesting to watch. To watch her go between driven and knowing and completely lost and not knowing.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: S1 Dean, Jess, Marty (kind of) and Logan. I'm kind of canon with Rory.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Rory and Lane. I have a lot of Lane love, so bias, but I love their friendship and how different they were and their paths on lives, how differently they were raised,

I'll talk Arrow with you. Speaking of...for your meme - FELICITY!!

While I am a Olicity girl, I have mixed feelings this season on it. The first episode was honestly TOO MUCH to me. Felt like they were trying to cram an entire relationship into 1 episode and then pulling the plug. That said, I love how Felicity handled it. I get tired of watching the "waiting girl" on the sidelines (*sigh for Chloe*). So I'm glad she told him now or never, and seems to have stuck by that. As for Thea, loving her this season. The whining - gone! Spoiled little girl too interested in her boyfriend - gone! Hello, strong young woman!

[lynzie914]

Yay someone to talk Arrow with

[phillydragonldy]

Yeah, I like seeing Felicity standing strong too, even when Oliver teases something out. Because she knows it is just that, a tease

[lynzie914]

Felicity Smoak

How I feel about this character: I love Felicity. I love that she stands up for herself against Oliver, even from the beginning and she refuses to take his crap. I love how caring she is and how she cares about people she’s never met or barely knows. One of my favorite parts of her joining Team Arrow is that she did it to find Walter because “he was nice to me”, that that was her reason. She and Walter didn’t have a deep connection like he did with Thea, he was just a nice person who believed in her and she wanted to do the same for him. I love that she’s stubborn and human and that she fails sometimes or falls apart, because she’s not trained for this or she’s just…her.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: I sometimes overly ship certain characters. Felicity s one of them. Oliver, John, Tommy, Sarah, and I feel like I might be leaving someone out.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: I love her relationship with Captain Lance. Their interactions are so cute.
My unpopular opinion about this

[tenshinrtaiga]

I stopped watching TVD a while ago, so I have no steroline opinion, but I do love that song!

[lynzie914]

Its an awesome song right? I feel in love with it the first time I heard it and keep going back to it.
