OMG. My science teacher is a big fan of LOTR. He saw me reading the first book in class today and we had a big discussion about it. We even talked about Martin Freeman as Bilbo. My day is made
You guys should watch Vampire Diaries. It basically takes Twilight, stakes it through the heart, and dances on its grave.
And it has gems! Lots and lots of gems! And blood! And is very quotable! Like the quote in my siggy!
or
Caroline: I am gonna drink until someone is hot enough to make out with.
And there are lots of people who die! And then you cry! But you don't care because MY CREYS IT'S SO GOOD.
And, of course, the best part: Like my all-time favorite novel series, The Demon's Lexicon, though it has romance, it's SO MUCH MORE about friendships and family and siblinghood and how far you are willing to go to protect the ones you love.
Like, is it about Stelena vs. Delena? Occasionally. Quite often, in the first part of the first season.
But now, it's about the friendship between Elena, Bonnie and Caroline, or about how Elena will practically make deals with the devil to keep her little brother safe, or about being betrayed by your sibling but not being able to stop protecting them, or about the characters trying to hold on to who they were before vampires entered the scene, or about trust, and how hard it is to build up and how easy it is to destroy, and this whole show is just so powerful and beautiful.
I ran into a problem with TL . . . I have no real climax in mind. So I can't figure out how I want TL to progress. GAH. Time to brainstorm...
