Amara and her doppelgangers ~ Clara Bow

Silas's Shadows + Tria Prima (or the three primes of alchemy)

[fandomluver-101]

To people like my friend who say Stefan being friends and falling in love with Bonnie wouldn't serve any narrative purpose - Qetsiyah, Silas, and Amara.

Qetsiyah and Silas were close/best friends before they got engaged. Amara was Qetsiyah's handmaiden (or a favored slave if we're honest given the time period). Both Silas and Amara betrayed Qetsiyah. Not only did they steal her immortality potion, they betrayed her trust on her wedding day (side tangent, how did these idiots expect the most powerful witch of their time to react? Because Silas was powerful, but even he needed Qetsiyah to create immortality), ans are then portrayed as more innocent or undeserving of suffering (specifically specifically Amara who was NOT an "innocent woman" in this situation).

Now we have Bonnie, Stefan, and Elena. Stefan goes for Elena immediately due to her looks and contrast with Katherine, Elena learns nothing of him and even when they get closer, are they really? Bonnie was in the prime position to become his best friend and Plec ruined that because she's racist - I digress, back on my what if concept. So they become friends, at first because of Elena and then regardless of Elena.

The shit that happens can be kept, but now Stefan doesn't just seek Bonnie out because he wants something, he seeks her out because he just wants to. He starts falling in love, blah blah blah, the Delena crap starts up, fast forward and Bonnie realizes she loves Stefan and maybe they don't hook up immediately, but it's THERE.

Meaning, we get a mirror of sorts - because Bonnie would ALSO get more traits from her book version and thus be a bit unhinged like Qetsiyah (Bonnie McCullough wants to be choked to death and no, that's not an exaggeration).

And beyond that, can you imagine the DRAMA of it all? Silas being confused as hell by Stefan not only priorizing Bonnie over Elena, but getting clocked by Bonnie as not being Stefan? Qetsiyah thinking Bonnie's setting herself up only to witness Stefan choosing Bonnie over Elena. Elena being the one who gets "betrayed" in the scenario of "my lover chose my friend over me" in whatever convoluted plot the season would follow?

Yes, it would have served a MAJOR narrative purpose.

Bonnie has the power to make one of these come true. Which is it? (Rock & Hard place edition!)

Caroline is put into the coma instead but Elena is turned back into a vampire.

Enzo lives but Damon dies.

Abby never stops Mikael and she stays but he kidnaps Elena.

Sheila lives but Abby has to permanently die.

Jeremy never dies at Silas’ hand but Kol turns him into a vampire.

what do you think of silas & amaras chemistry?

btw i really liked your thoughts on steferine's chemistry

Glad you liked my thoughts!. Also I think their chemistry as silas and amara was really incredible at portraying that yearning, passionate, eternal kind of love. Paul and Nina did such a good job of crafting their chemistry in a way that felt completely different from how they played Stelena or Steferine. I think they relied on a lot of subtlety, and that’s one of the reasons I find their chemistry as silas and amara so compelling.

Take the scene where Silas meets Amara and tells her he’s taken the cure.

The way Paul acts with just his eyes, the vulnerability Silas shows toward Amara, and the subtle tears welling up without fully breaking down all create such a different emotional range. Their chemistry carries so much of that scene.

Their chemistry could portray yearning so effortlessly. There’s this overwhelming sense of two people who desperately want to be together but can’t, yet their love for each other never wavers.

And the way they delivered it in this scene was truly amazing.

The way they used eye contact, physical closeness, those restrained tears, and the quiet agony of not being able to be together was portrayed beautifully. I also find it fascinating how Nina carries herself with such grace whenever she has to play emotionally intense scenes with Paul.

In this final scene especially:

the way she cries feels so organic. Both of them completely inhabit the emotional space between their characters. They truly lived their chemistry, and it shone through every emotional form they were asked to portray.
