Vampire Diaries

I looked at my poem and since watching a bunch more episodes things have gotten more interesting because you keep finding out new things about the towns history but mainly about these 2 brothers who are the characters that hold it all together the way Jamie and Claire hold Outlander together. Of course 2 is kind of a stable number and 3 is about transformation, mystery, choice, change. Elena is the third but the more the show goes on the more I see how the 2 vampire brothers are more complex than her. Hopefully she’ll get deeper. She’s definitely necessary as the 3rd person that causes the other two to surprise you and keep the show together. It’s just a vampire soap opera if it’s not your flavor of story. I didn’t think I’d get do into the show. It’s not a dance HBO brilliant type show with a list actors. It’s definitely not the same quality as or the same league as Outlander but it’s of course not that kind of show. It’s also in the big genre of shows about high school ranging from it to Friday Night Lights.

Anyway I feel like I found out I got it somewhat wrong with the brothers but they do have a 200 ish history. I hope I can get inspired to write another dramatic vampire poem still from the Damon point of view. Just when you think he’s capable of having a heart underneath his seeming lack of moral compass, things happen and he does something terrible but then he has guilt about it and cares about the consequences and loses something. Once the character has a loss, they suck you back in. You find out he’s the one always left out. I was reading about the concept of longing more in terms of artists/writers etc. having a longing that causes creation because it’s a longing that can’t be filled.

In the show there’s another brother character who keeps losing people; they actually die and don’t come back to life or they leave him. Then you have Damon longing for both women and finding out 200 years later the one woman never loved him and only loved his brother, mirrored in the present as well. Of course his trying to get her bs k even as a friend keep things going.

In September I needed to watch Mayday Air Crash investigation. I got to the point of watching at least one before bed. Then I finally got hooked on Outlander but didn’t continually watch it because I decided to read the books.

Anything that gets me back to reading is good. Novels are necessary to life. And other books but literature/fiction was my first love. The story and characters hinge on the language and writing whereas nonfiction doesn’t even when it coincides with it.
