How can anyone read this kind of language and not feel immediately and urgently alarmed? Literally not a good word in here. The double-speak, the finger-wagging, the clear threat, the actual literal use of the word "reward" in context to those loyal to their agenda.

"Raise authoritative sources", did the person who wrote that possess a soul? How do you write something that manipulative and yet tone-deaf?

They could have posted an image of a pile of venomous snakes with the words "We Writhe In Lies" and it would actually be less of a red flag.

Also I realized last night that the KC connection worked both ways— we liked Klaus because of Caroline, and I always loved Caroline but we got to see WHY I loved Caroline when she was paired with Klaus.

And I’m not talking romantically as a shipper, I’m talking paired together in scenes and script and development and power. And this is partly because Klaus is sadly one of the only TVD characters who ever respected and admired Caroline as a person — just like me, even within the confines of the romance lens (unlike Tyler, Matt, Damon, and even in this case Stefan because they aren’t allowing the narrative to let him which is also an assault on HIS character).

Even though the ship like all ships was at times problematic, Caroline acted as a filter for Klaus and Klaus acted as our sword for Caroline’s honor.
