Buffy, Oz, or Giles.


Feel better ♥

You get all 3 but in seperate comments.

Buffy

Why I like them: Because she’s a hero, but that’s not all she is. She’s also human, a girl trying to grow up and become a woman, a woman trying to live her life and do it well. Because she has puns and quips for every monster she meets. Because she’s died twice, but she still keeps fighting.
Why I don’t: This question is hard…Buffy’s not my favorite character but I do love her, flaws and all, so I don’t really know. She can be selfish and judgmental and she can easily slip into that “I know best because I’m the Slayer” mode, but all those things just make her a human, flawed character, and in my opinion its more of a reason to like her.
Favorite episode: Becoming (Part 2). I love that this is Buffy all on her own, relying on basically just herself as everything else crumbles, but in the end, she’s the only thing she needs to win the fight. I also love that winning comes at such high a cost for her, but she does it anyways. And then she runs away, because it was the right thing to do, but it still felt like the wrong thing, hurt like it was the wrong thing to do.
Favorite scene: The scene in “Prophecy Girl” where she ‘quits’ being a slayer. It’s just…That scene always makes me cry. When she throws the books at Giles whose supposed to protect her, when she rips the cross off her neck and throws it to the floor and the way her voice cracks when she tells them that she’s sixteen and she doesn’t want to die…It just, I just have so much love for this scene and this girl whose a hero at sixteen, who has already given up so much, but doesn’t want to have to give up more, doesn’t want to die. And it just, obviously it gives me a lot of feelings.
Favorite line: “I’m standing on the mouth of Hell and it is going to swallow me whole. And it’ll choke on me.”
Favorite outfit: Her outfit in Prophecy Girl for the dance. I just love the dress and then the leather jacket over it.
OTP: I don’t…I don’t actually think I have a Buffy OTP. I tend to like her ships while their happening (usually in different ways because all the canon ones are SO very different) but when the storylines were over, I was never really upset or broken hearted. Mostly I just want Buffy/Happiness. That’s my OTP for her.
Brotp: Dawn and Buffy. It’s kind of literal (siblings and all), but it’s my favorite and I always wanted more of it.
Head Canon: Sometimes she still dreams about heaven. She’s moved on, she’s happy to be alive, to watch Dawn grow up, to be with her friends; but she still dreams about heaven, of the bits and pieces she remembers. (She remembers her mom.) And she misses it there. But she won’t ever tell anybody that, because she knows it will hurt them, and they won’t understand.
Unpopular opinion: Season six was one of my favorite seasons and its primarily for Buffy’s story arc. I love that they dealt with her depression, I love that they didn’t save her from hell they took her out of heaven instead and a part of her hates them for that. I love that it took an entire season for her to really start to realize that there were things to live for. I just, I really love that season, and apparently most other fans don’t.
A wish: I wish Buffy and Cordelia could have become friends, that Buffy could have seen and witnessed the woman Cordie had grown into and vice versa. They had some really great moments on the show, where I think they got each other far more than either one realized, but I would have loved to have seen the two of them together after Cordelia was actively fighting the good fight and a part of the big picture as well.
An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: I hope she never got back together with Angel or Spike. I hope she grew into herself, like she said she was still doing, and never went backwards, and going back to them feels like going backwards. (I don’t know if this really fits the category, I just, don’t really have anything else for it.)
5 words to best describe them: Hero, snarky, wonderfully human, and funny.

Oz

Why I like them: Oz might actually be my favorite strictly Buffyverse character. He’s this wonderfully calm, sarcastic, romantic character, whose also this huge contradiction because while he’s all of these things, he’s also a werewolf with all this inner rage and jealousy and anger boiling under the surface. He’s quite possibly the sweetest boy in Sunnydale (the type of boy who notices the girl dressed up like an Eskimo standing alone and can’t look away), but is also a monster. And I just love that.
Why I don’t: Not enough of him. Why’d you have to leave Oz? Why’d you have to leave?
Favorite episode: Phases. We didn’t get a lot of Oz specific episodes, so in trying to find ones that focused more on him its hard. But I just love his reaction to the whole werewolf thing. Probably the calmest reaction ever and its awesome.
Favorite scene: The scene in “Choices”, you know the one that probably gets talked about a lot, where he smashes the pot and decides for them that Willow is the only thing that matters. I just love that in a moment where you can completely understand where a character like Wesley is coming from, you have Oz who is so calm and zen to a tee, so suddenly angry and possessive and positive that this is the only way, and just reacts. And I just love it.
Favorite line: You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So I'm wonderin', do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like is the hippo goin', "Hey man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity." And, you know, the monkey's just, "I mock you with my monkey pants!" And then there's a big coup in the zoo. […]All monkeys are French. You didn't know that? (I feel like I might have cheated a little because it’s not one specific line, but it’s just this whole speech and his little through in about Willow’s smile and then he’s back on the animal crackers and just, who wouldn’t fall in love with him after this speech?)
Favorite outfit: Not really an outfit, but I like him best blonde.
OTP: Willow/Oz. Not that there are really a lot of canon Oz ships (or popular fandom ones I’ve come across) but I loved them. They were one of my favorite pairings on the show in general.
Brotp: Buffy and Oz. There wasn’t a lot of them, but I loved them and their friendship.
Head Canon: After he left Sunnydale sometimes he still visited LA and Cordelia and Wesley and Angel, because they were a connection that he needed, but couldn’t have from anyone else.
Unpopular opinion: Umm…Are there unpopular opinions about Oz? For all I know, all my opinions on him are unpopular. I don't know that much about the Buffy fandom.
A wish: That he and Willow met up again years later. Maybe nothing romantic ever happened again, but they at least became friends. They were Willow and Oz again.
An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: I wouldn’t want him to ever turn evil. He’s too wonderfully Oz to be evil.
5 words to best describe them: Calm, sarcastic, funny, a contradiction, and cool.

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Giles

Why I like them: Because he’s Giles. Because he’s stuffy and so wonderfully British and he thinks books are better than everything, but he still thinks people are what’s most important. Because he loves Buffy because she won’t do anything she thinks falls into a grey area, but he’ll do it for her, because he knows it has to be done. And he’s handsome in that bookish older kind of way and I did it. (Anthony Head is handsome man, its not my fault.)
Why I don’t: I get mad at him every time I watch “A Hole in the World”, which is Angel’s show and doesn’t involve his character mostly, but Fred was dying and he wasn’t willing to help, and well, I love Fred. So I hold it against him, even if maybe I shouldn’t.
Favorite episode: Band Candy. I just, how could I not?
Favorite scene: When he kills Ben in “The Gift” because it just, its says so much about who he is. He isn’t the hero of this story and he’s not the wizard standing on the sidelines guiding the king. He’s the Watcher, he’s the adult, he’s the one who does what must be done. And that moment shows who he is underneath everything else.
Favorite line: “Unbelievable! "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead!" Americans!”
Favorite outfit: Hmmm…His outfit in ‘Band Candy’. I have a thing for bad!Giles. Don’t judge me.
OTP: Giles/Jenny I guess. Though I actually really liked Giles/Anya in what little we got it. It could have been a thing.
Brotp: Buffy and Giles. I don’t know if this fully fits the category, but I just love their relationship and bond, so I’m saying yes, yes it does.
Head Canon: Part of the reason he and Wesley clashed so much is because he saw too much of himself in him, in the man he once was. He saw too much of the man trying to break away from the boy he once was, the boy who had wreaked havoc and destruction just because he could. So he closed himself off from all of that, but closed himself off too much. The man who came to Sunnydale, originally able and willing to let a Slayer die if it meant saving the world. And when he looks at Wesley that is what he sees.
Unpopular opinion: Hmmm…
A wish: He lives a very long life, because I love my Giles.
An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Never abandon Buffy or Dawn (or any of the scoobies) in the full sense of the word. Never permanently.
5 words to best describe them: Bookworm, British, handsome, intelligent, and strong.

Chloe Sullivan :).

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Why I like them: Because she’s Chloe, really that’s the best explanation I’ve got. I’ve just loved her from day one. So wonderfully smart and interested in knowing things, in knowing the truth even if it hurts, loyal to a fault, willing to do whatever it takes to get things done. She’s pretty and adventurous and once upon a time she was trusting, but then she got burned (time after time) and that lessened over time. And I like that she grew in good ways and she grew in bad ways, that life took its toll. I like that she’s a hero in her own right, who will never claim to be a hero, because she doesn’t think herself worthy of the word. I like that fought for her dream to be journalist, tooth and nail, and then tried new things, only to go back to it because she realized her dreams were important too. I like that her life went so far off the plan she originally had, but she forged a new path, one she was always in control of. I just like everything about her, and will never understand people who don’t like her even a little. (I don’t judge, I just don’t understand.)

Why I don’t: Well see you picked Chloe and she’s my favorite SV character, one of my top characters ever, so…I’m not sure this question is valid. Because I’m aware of her flaws and the bad choices she’s made and things she’s done; but they only make me love her more. (I love that she made a deal with Lionel, but that she faced the consequences with it. I love that she hated Clark for all the wrong reasons in the season nine opener, I love that she funneled money out of Oliver’s accounts instead of asking him because she thought she was saving the world but she didn’t think she could trust him with it, I love that when high on truth serum she asked Clark what his secret was, I love that for a time she believed Davis over Jimmy even though he was telling the truth. I love that she is incredibly flawed but still incredible herself.)

Favorite episode: Yeah, ten seasons, I’m not going to be able to narrow it down to just one. But I will try to limit it. Obscura. Rush. Delete. Truth. Blank. Tomb. Abyss. Stiletto. Beast. Warrior. Sacrifice. Masquerade.

I can meta about all of these and why I love them so much, but your probably already reading this and thinking I talk too much and there’s a good chance I’d run out of room, but basically it stems down to them showing Chloe’s character and who she is and how she’s a fighter and a survivor at heart. And that’s one of the things I love most about her. Warrior’s more about dealing with her Davis issues (oh the parallels, oh how I love the parallels this episode does and how subtle but also wonderful they are. I could write a huge meta on this and the Davis arc on its own) and Sacrifice is in there more for the realization she has in Watchtower with Tess. And Rush, well Rush is in there for purely superficial reasons, because I love bad!Chloe. There should have been more of her.

Favorite scene: Basically any scene with her and Lionel or Lex. (I not so secretly wanted her to become a Luthor, I’ll admit it.) But to be more specific, the scene between her and Lex in Truth, where she coaxes a confession out of him, circles around him and uses a power he knows she has against him. It’s just, its everything I loved about their potential, about what they could have been and what they were. And I loved this side of her, this side that always existed and she always teetered on the side of possibly getting lost in; where she enjoyed the power, where she took what she learned from the sharks surrounding her and used it against them (Lionel circles his victims and here, here Chloe is circling hers), and she manages to manipulate a man who should have the upper hand. But then there’s the end of the scene, where Lex confesses what he really wants, love, and you see Chloe’s face change, you see her whole demeanor change, because he’s just a boy who wants his father to love him and Chloe overly relates to that, who hates herself for getting to this point and asking that question because she can never un-ask it. Even with the chemicals inside her, bringing out this side of her she likes to repress, she still feels bad for what she has done.

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Part 2 (Cause I'm apparently full of Chloe thoughts)

Favorite line: “You know, I always wondered. For a boy who has all the money in the world, you'd think he could afford a good toupee.”
Favorite outfit: I don’t know if I really have a favorite. But I loved her in a good pencil skirt in heels, so I guess anytime she was wearing those.
OTP: First OTP was Chloe/Lex and I’ll always be loyal to them, but it ended up being Chloe/Oliver. Which was endgame, which never happens to my ships, which kind of makes them my OTP of OTPs.
Brotp: Chlo-Lo.
Head Canon: Part of the reason she and Tess were always so at odds, was because Chloe always saw too much of herself in her (and vice versa), saw how easily that could have been her. She had been in the Luthor’s hold, had fallen for their charm, and had thought she could never escape. She had been that woman, making questionable decisions because she thought she had all the answers, who had had men burn her and use her up. She had been in all those same places and ended up changed. It took her a long time, to stop seeing too much of her in Tess, seeing only her weaknesses, and to start seeing their similarities as something good, something to be built upon. But when they were just starting to become friends (or something like it) Tess became just another person lost.

Also, at least one time over the summer between season three and four, Chloe and Lex totally had sex. Or at the very least made out. That’s why things were so different for them in season four.

Unpopular opinion: I have a strong dislike for the Chloe/Jimmy pairing. This is in itself, not an unpopular opinion. But my dislike and disbelief that they worked in any sense of a serious relationship came from both sides, and often more from Chloe herself. It wasn’t that Chloe treated Jimmy badly or that I don’t think she loved him (though I don’t think she loved him like she should have and I think her accepting his proposal came because of the trauma she had gone through and not for love), its that she never trusted him enough to ever want to really tell him Clark’s secret, to ask Clark for his permission. That she was willing to marry him with all those secrets and lies between them was selfish. Chloe was not the love of Jimmy’s life and she shouldn’t have been, there was never the right level of trust, there was never that place of comfort or safety that came with being with him, there was never that connection she felt with people like Clark or Ollie (or even Davis). Of course, I also have a bunch of reasons for which I think Jimmy was just as responsible (if not more, because yeah, I have Jimmy issues) for their failed relationship. But that’s probably another meme.
A wish: I wish we had gotten to see her and Lex make-out. Even in some AU episode, it would have made me all kinds of happy.
An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: She’s not allowed to die, not permanently. I lived through ten seasons of constant worry and came out fine (AND SO HAPPY). But now there are comics and I don’t read them, but there’s a chance something bad could happen and sometimes I worry. I have strong emotional attachment to television characters. It’s not my fault.
5 words to best describe them: Independent, loyal, strong, beautiful, and snarky. (Also super smart, but that’s more than five words.)

[tehzo.livejournal.com]

Yes to every single part.

Why I like them: Because she’s Chloe, really that’s the best explanation I’ve got. I’ve just loved her from day one.

The first episode I ever watched was during season 1. I saw Lex, was intrigued by him and that's what made pulled me in. Then I met Chloe...and that was it. Like you, I fell in love with her from day one. I rewatched the first few seasons awhile ago and I was surprised by how little screen time she had. And it just made me think that, despite how much time she had, it was still that easy to love her.

I could write a huge meta on this and the Davis arc on its own.

If you're ever bored and have some time, I would love, love to hear what you thought of the Davis arc. I feel that everything you've said is exactly how I feel...you've just put it in much better words than I would be able to.

Favorite scene: Basically any scene with her and Lionel or Lex.

Me too. Season 3 is still one of my favorites because of her arc with the Luthors. There was something amazing in her scenes with them. One of my favorites was one that was actually deleted. It was with Chloe and Lionel in his office in Metropolis and Lionel says something along the lines of her teaming up with Lex and then complementing her--that she had a 'ruthless instinct for self-preservation.' It's clear that a part of him admired this teenage girl.

...where she took what she learned from the sharks surrounding her and used it against them (Lionel circles his victims and here, here Chloe is circling hers), and she manages to manipulate a man who should have the upper hand.

Another one of my favorites episodes and scenes...couldn't help myself, I made this awhile ago on tumblr...

http://tehzo.tumblr.com/post/20946374575

OTP: First OTP was Chloe/Lex and I’ll always be loyal to them, but it ended up being Chloe/Oliver. Which was endgame, which never happens to my ships, which kind of makes them my OTP of OTPs.

Again--me too!!! Chloe and Lex were my first SV pairing (they could have been sooo good). And then after them, came Chlollie and that was that.

I also have the same beliefs when it comes to Tess and Chloe/Jimmy. I love Tess (even before she left Lex...she admired Chloe and I really enjoyed the few scenes that had together). Chloe and Jimmy...I've always wanted the best for Chloe and I never, ever saw Jimmy as being the love of her life.

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

I love how similar our thoughts on Chloe are. She’s such an amazing character and I’m just happy to see someone who loves her the same way I do. (And ships my two major Chloe ships to boot!)

I rewatched the first few seasons awhile ago and I was surprised by how little screen time she had. And it just made me think that, despite how much time she had, it was still that easy to love her.

I think it’s a credit to the character (and Allison) that even with limited screen time compared to the some of the others, she was such a complete character at such an early stage. We learnt more and more about her with each season, and she was shaped by all of the things that happened to her, but by the end of the first season really, you already knew who Chloe was, her dreams and wants and faults and everything else. The core of her character was there from the beginning and so easy to fall in love with. Or you know, that’s my Chloe loving bias speaking….

You encouraging me to write meta makes me want to write it, but I never actually written purposeful meta before (compared to just talking a lot), so the idea kind of intimidates me. But at the same time, I do have a lot of Chloe (and the Davis arc and repercussions of it) thoughts, so maybe I’ll do it. I’ll be sure to link you to it (and blame you for it) if I do. ;D

Season 3 is still one of my favorites because of her arc with the Luthors.

Yes! Me too. Season 3 actually is my favorite season and it’s mostly due to her arc with the Luthors (though there are other things that contribute as well), I just love the dynamic so much. I wish they could have found a way to continue it more. While she obviously had strong opinions about both Luthors, her interactions with them became so much less frequent over the years and it always makes me sad. So many missed opportunities. Though her last scene with Lionel, where he was literally begging on his knees and she denied him what he wanted. Yeah, that gives me all kinds of feelings because I just loved the power shift and the exploration of the idea that Chloe had never forgotten who Lionel Luthor really was at heart or what he had done to her.

It’s been a while since I’ve rewatched season three in general, let alone the deleted scenes, but I do know the one you’re talking about and I love it. Especially that line, because I think that’s a side of her that isn’t acknowledge a lot and a lot of people don’t see, but is most definitely there. She is loyal and she is caring, to a fault, but she also looks out for herself too because she knows that there won’t always be someone else there to do it for her. And yes, I so love how John Glover portrayed Lionel’s interest and admiration for Chloe and how he was so fascinated by her and how that played on screen. (I remember reading multiple places that it seemed like JG had a lot to do with that aspect of the relationship so I tend to credit him for some of it, but of course I could be wrong about how much credit I give him.)

Oh yay! Thank you for this link. I just love the visual of them both doing the same thing at the same time you have with the gifs. And I loved your own comments on the side, about how important it is to note that the scene with Lex became first, that it was something she learned from Lionel and she used it against Lex. Because I think its so true. Chloe was one of the first people we saw on the show to start using the Luthors own tactics against them. And just yeah. Truth gives me a lot of Chloe feelings. And I love that you made a tumblr post for those two scenes and there connections. Also, I’m going to have to go through your Smallville tag on your tumblr and see what else you have. XD

Chloe and Lex were my first SV pairing (they could have been sooo good). And then after them, came Chlollie and that was that.

Yes! Chloe and Lex are totally my “we could have had it all” pairing. They just, so much potential there and I would have loved to see where it would have lead Chloe, what path she would have taken if it was Lex by her side and not Clark. But then, yes, Chlollie. I have so much love for Chlollie and I never expected to get it actually on my screen, but then it happened and I don’t think I’ve ever been so in love with a pairing.

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Also, I talked/rambled a lot again, sorry. Hopefully you don't mind. Like I said before, I have a lot of Chloe feelings.

[ishi-chan.livejournal.com]

Caroline Forbes :DD

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Why I like them: Because she’s so wonderfully Caroline. Because her life was irrevocably changed the moment she laid eyes on Damon on the pilot and just kept changing and getting worse, to the point where her own murder started seeming less bad in comparison to her father trying to fix her with torture under Mystic Falls, and a thousand year old hybrid decided for her that they were meant to be together. And yet, Caroline still believes in good, she still believes in her friends, still believes that they can win at the end of the day, still believes that things like prom and graduation and slumber parties matter because they are still the people they always were. Because she is so incredibly forgiving and open to those around her, because she wants to be forgiven herself. Because she never wanted to die but she likes being a vampire, likes the power and strength that comes with it, likes the way that people react to her now, likes the way that she can demand respect in a way she couldn’t before. Because she’s honest even if it hurts, because she judges you but admits to doing it and judges herself far worse, because she wanted to be chosen first her entire life, to be love, but has never felt like she truly deserves it. Because she’s a control freak, who suppresses her inner monster, but knows, always knows and remembers, that she liked the taste of the kill. Because she is Caroline a beautiful contradiction, a girl who will be seventeen forever, and who is who she is and likes that person and just wants everyone else to too. Because she is Caroline Forbes and she has been tortured more than anyone else on the show, but she smiles brighter than any of them.

Why I don’t: Because she’s not in every episode? Caroline’s my favorite and I love her flaws and all, actually I probably like her most because of her flaws. So basically this question is invalid.

Favorite episode(S): You’re Undead to Me, 162 Candles, There Goes the Neighborhood, Miss Mystic Falls, Brave New World, Daddy Issues, The End of the Affair, Our Town, Into the Wild, Because the Night. (I tried to narrow it down, I did. But, it’s Caroline and I just can’t.)

Favorite scene: In “Daddy Issues” when she goes to the door and stands up to Tyler, when she demands respect and answers for what happened and doesn’t accept his apology. When she tells him she’s fine with conviction in her voice (but not in her heart) and promises him that nothing like that will happen to her again, that she won’t let it. When she tells him that she doesn’t need friends like him in her life, if all their going to do is fail her. Of course, she does eventually forgive Tyler and they move on, but this is the first real moment where we see Caroline truly stand up for herself, take a stand not for anyone else, but for herself in a none threatening situation. This is Caroline choosing Team Caroline above everyone else. And I love it every time I see it and I cheer (mentally) when she slams the door in his face. Because this Caroline has always been there, but this is the first time she has had the confidence to fully let her out.

Favorite line: “I’m a terrible awful person, but I’m working on it.” (Also “And now you want me to eat bunnies and I’m kind of freaking out” because its just so perfectly Caroline and unintentionally hilarious and I love it.)

Favorite outfit: The purple dress she wore in 162 Candles. (I also have a soft spot for her cheerleading uniform. I love her in cheerleader mode.)

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Part 2 (Because I'm wordy and its Caroline)

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.

Anna, The Vampire Diaries

[lynzie914.livejournal.com]

Anna was unexpected, but I love pretty much all the TVD ladies, so it’s a happy surprise.

Why I like the : I loved that Anna was a really great turn on the normal tropes for a vampire. She was a female character, who was just as strong than the Salvatores and she did stalk Jeremy in order to enact her plan, but fell in love with him along the way. That’s a typical male role in these types of things, but her character was never really criticized for it. It was explained and completely believable. I also love that they set her up as this adorable but dorky, kind of stalkerish, I want a friend and I want it to be you, character, and then completely flipped that on its head when they revealed that she was there to open the tomb too. I love that as human and compassionate as she was (or could be) she was also ruthless, willing to do whatever it took to get what she wanted. And I absolutely LOVE that what she wanted was her mother. That it was all for her mother, it wasn’t romantic love that she was seeking (though she found that too) but familiar love, the love only Pearl could offer her.

Why I don’t: This really isn’t against the character herself, because I don’t blame Anna for it. BUT I hated that they used her to break up Jeremy and Bonnie and how they used her to do it. The storyline of a ghost and the boy she loved, still being in love, that’s an interesting story and I liked that aspect of it. But I thought that they could have done it without him actually cheating on Bonnie, or not at all, and made it more about her search for her mother and less about her romantic connection to Jeremy. Or I don't know, but it could have been handled better for sure.

Favorite episode: “Fool Me Once”, really it’s just an awesome episode in general, but it’s a really good Anna episode in itself. I love how it shows how competent Anna is, how well she’s planned it all out (better than Damon ever had) and how she ultimately is the one who gets what she wants, she gets her mother back. I love her snark towards Damon, and how they take this tiny little person and make her this very credible threat.

Favorite scene: The scene between her and Pearl in I think “Let the Right One In” where her mother tells her not to get so close, so attached to ‘the Gilbert boy’ because of her own past, that he won’t love her if he knows who she was, and Anna tells her it doesn’t matter to him. And that he loves her for her, monster and all. I loved that she stood up to her mother. That she stood up for what she wanted. And maybe it didn’t end well, but she still took her stand.

Favorite line: Do you even know why we turn other people? It's not to give someone a one-way ticket out of lonerhood. Okay? One, we need someone to do our dirty work. Two, revenge. Three, boredom, but you know that never turns out well. And then, you know, there's the obvious one. You love someone so much that you would do anything to spend all of eternity with them. I'm sorry but you don't fit any of those categories yet. (Okay, it’s a paragraph, but whatever.)

Part two, because apparently I talk too much.

Favorite outfit: I really liked the dress she wore to the Miss Mystic Falls completion.

OTP: Anna/Life, LOL. I really wish they hadn’t killed her off. But in season one I really did love Anna and Jeremy and their relationship and how it mirrored Elena/Stefan in the beginning but was so different at the same time.

Brotp: Their wasn’t a lot of it, but I love the hints we got of Anna and Emily’s relationship, the sly little smiles and obvious secrets they shared, and that it was Emily that saved her from the same fate as her mother, that promised her it would all be okay.

Head Canon: She never liked Katherine, she was her mother’s best friend, but she never treated Anna right, with respect. And once she found out that she wasn’t in the tomb with all the other vampires, it only made her hate her more.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t know if I have one...

A wish: I wish we had gotten more Anna and Katherine scenes, I think their interaction, and how Anna would be one of the few people Katherine couldn’t manipulate, would have been so interesting to see.

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Hmmm….I don’t know if I have anything for this. I just wouldn’t want for them to retcon any of her awesome character moments.

5 words to best describe them: Cute, scary, stalker-girl, intelligent, and strong.
