In case you were wondering. This is a fuck Tory Lanez Blog.
Hey! Hope you are having a great day.
So since I like you opinions and analyzes so much, I wanted to ask, Why do you think people hate Elena?
I know they have some reasons, like her sleeping with Damon and breaking up with Stefan etc... (Which I find terribly hypocritical because no other character is better at that point) but it's like they think Elena was ALWAYS a bad friend or a girlfriend, they ignore the times she sacrificed herself and asked forgiveness from Stefan. Honestly, I've left apps like Reddit or Instagram because of that, I can't stand all this hatred towards a fictional character who has so many fans as well.
Okay I'm gonna start off with - tysm !!! for this ask and I'm so sorry for the tremendous can of mental worms it's going to pop off bc i have thoughts-
There are actually alot of factors in play when it comes to the frankly insane amount of hate Elena receives, and in my opinion they vary between vaguely valid and batshit insane. Now this could very easily turn into an insane rant so Iโm gonna try to speak objectively in an attempt to actually explain myself lmao.
The cards are already sorta stacked against Elena as a main character because audiences seem to have this individualistic desire to tear a piece of medias protagonist apart (especially if theyโre female). I honestly canโt think of a fandom Iโve been in nor witnessed one where this doesnโt happen to some degree. Media literacy is a dying skill and alot of audience member struggle to grasp that theย โfun, witty, sexy, bitchy etcโ side character is often a side character for a reason. Main characters are viewed asย โattention hoggersโ for merely taking up the most screen time as if thats not what they were always intended to do. No matter how snarky or chill a character is people will always get tired of them for wining or crying or taking up too much room. Regardless of a piece of medias contents, audiences have a very short fuse with this sorta thing. So Elena not only being a main character, but a main character whoโs literally the centre of multiple spells/prophecies and who is constantly undergoing horrific trauma because of this and therefore crying, makes her an unfortunate target for contrarian viewers who are already desperate to hate the shows lead just to feel different.
It spurred a movement, but he was so much more. RIP young king.
Rest In Peace young King.
Iโm a day late but her name can not and will be forgotten. Rest in power my sista.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!! Please spread the word.
Thank yโall for spreading the word!!!
Hafael/Hopel and Rope Rant
As previously stated Iโm a huge fan of the entire TVD world. This weekend was rare, I had nothing to do, so I rewatched the first season of Legacies. While watching, I quickly realized the glaring differences between season 1 and what season 2 is currently.
I really believe Julie P. caught lightening in a bottle for the third time with the first season. Some really awesome things transpired that are missing in the second season imo. But Iโll get into that laterโฆ
What really struck me as I watched, and I noticed it the first time around as well,ย but itโs the fact that Hope and Rafael have chemistryโฆlike really good chemistry.
And it was there from the first. Their first real interactions with one another it was felt and seen.
Some actors just have really good chemistry with one another and itโs effortless whatever they are trying to portray. I believe this is the case with Danielle and Peyton.
One thing that has always bugged me about Hafael (Hopel and Rope) ship is that itโs played up to be one sided. Itโs definitely not and Iโm hoping Julie P. is playing it this way on purpose but from what Iโve seen of season 2, sheโs about to drop the entire ball on this ship and itโs complete and utter bullshit.
Not sure if itโs direction or the acting choices of Danielle specifically but itโs a reason they say that the eyes are the mirror to the soul. Since the start Hope has looked very deeply at Rafael and at its basic level, itโs clear attraction.ย
As Raf and Hope have gotten closer, itโs clear that Hope cares very deeply for Rafael and considers him to be a friend, but her eyes and actions say itโs a lot deeper than that. I believe Hope loves Raf but hasnโt admitted that to herself and thus she continues to dismiss his truth about falling for her, but the eyes tell something completely different.
This was definitely seen in one of their many private conversations in episode 1x15.ย When the convo, got super serious, itโs all about the eye contact from both of these actors/characters. It was well done, even down to the timbre of their voices. Truly believable.ย
Again, I dunno if this acting choices by Danielle and by extension Peyton or itโs been up to direction but the chemistry between those two characters have been the most authentic throughout the entire series. A close second would be between Josie and Penelope.
Second season, ships have been thrust down the viewers throat and somehow a fan base is supposed to come from that. Julie literally has taken Hope has chemistry with everyone over board. While that is true, some chemistry just sticks out more than others.
My fear is that Julie P. is going to do what sheโs always done and not write what is obviously there, for whatever fear of a fan revolt or whatever is the case. Which againโฆ
She did this with Caroline and Klausโฆthe fact that this wasnโt fully fleshed out and explored was true bullshit.
ย And yes, she did this with Bonnie and Damon after Nina left. Yes, I said it and itโs true. (Evidence that the chemistry was seen as more than friendship is the mountain of fans shaking their heads โnahโ anytime this is mentioned. This happened to me personally during my unexpected trip to Mystic Falls. The chemistry between those two was definitely there and shouldโve been explored.)
The only reason I believe she (Julie) wonโt go there is because sheโs hell bent on Hope and Landon being the โitโcouple. Sheโs going to try and rectify with Legacies, what she couldnโt do with The Vampire Diaries. Itโs agreed that Landon is supposed to be the new Stefanโฆokay. Whatever floats your boat.
Speaking of Landon, I saw this and I couldnโt agree more.
I mean is the show about Hope or nahโฆ
Anywhoโฆย
ย Things thatโs missing from season 2 that was a part of season 1.
- Hope sparring.
-ย A deeper dive into already established characters. How did MG and Kaleb become vamps? Why does it seem like Alaric spends more time preoccupied with Hope than his own children? The other supernatural schools out there? Landonโs a phoenixโฆcool, but what the fuck does he actually do?
- How does a phoenix fit into the already established world of witches, vamps, and werewolves?
- Hope is werewolf royaltyโฆcan we get some background into that as well?ย ย ย
- I guess they are dealing with Rafaelโs history but Peyton has been missing from the show for weeksโฆso again
- Is a pretend phone call from Marcel, Kol, Davina, Keelin, Freya or Aunty Bex too much to ask for?
ย Sorry for this long ass post but this season just ainโt hittin like Season 1. And I feel like one of the best ships on here is gonna get the shaft because of bull. I love a good teen drama and this has the ability to be one of the best but we shall see. I mean Iโve made it through several seasons of PLL and that ended in an unmitigated disaster.ย
Man oh man was I right. Fuck Julie Plec
