The thing is, I don’t have any notes. My thought before making this vid in terms of the themes I would present were pretty much “angst” and “epic.” Nothing more than that. Basically, I love this show. That’s what this video is born out of. Well, that and I have really been dying for a decent ensemble video to this show, and if there are any out there, I certainly haven’t found them. So this video is a gift to myself. But I hope you all enjoy it as well!
I did bookend it though; because basically Elena = Katherine now.
As I’m writing this a day later. I just wanted to say that this show, for me, is so much more than just a show about two vampire brothers and the woman between them. I feel like, from outside observers, that that’s all of this show is about. A cliche love triangle. But for me, the show is all-encompassing. It’s about strong characters, specifically strong women characters. And it’s not just that they’re strong, because they’re not always, it’s just that they’re given their own stories: elena, katherine, bonnie and caroline. They are the heart of this show, for me. And the people who populate their world are far more varied than most of the official posters for this show would have you believe. So this is my representation of the idea of The Vampire Diaries as a true ensemble, which it so clearly and gorgeously is.
