GUYS I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM TO TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW OH MY GODDD don't forget to give the video a "like" if you want to see a character ranking because i am dying to spill my faves and most HATED hahah
Will you be watching The Originals and Legacies? You should. Both are really good. The originals leans into the darker side of the show while Legacies leans more into humour
I think that the reason why Elena and Damon past moments were more emotional than reunion is that Nina and Ian were dating at that time, so chemistry were THERE
The most stunning shocking most touching part of the series was watching Elena burn her house and turn her emotions off. I had chills all over my body even rewatching it over and over.
The world building in the originals is also top tier! Its so believable and as a vampire diaries fan, the originals is equally as gripping, but in a different way.
I'm currently about halfway through S1 of The Originals after completing TVD for the first time. I was looking forward to it because I love Klaus and the originals lore, but so far I'm really struggling to get into it. Would you say it gets better than S1, or am I unlikely to love it if I'm not already?
Stay with it!! I felt the same and then I ended up loving it so much. It was so much more emotional for me than TVD. Less teen romance and more family. And I loved all the characters ugh.
I agree. 100%. The Originals is soooooo good!! First time watched them both, I didn’t watch them in tandem with each other for the crossover timelines, but every re-watch I do. And I’ve lost count of the number of rewatches. I love them both soooooo much!! I’ve only watched Legacies once - and it was just for the OGs really.
@@AllySheehan You really fall in love with the originals cast in a way that you may not have felt about them in TVD! It really is so fun and worth it. The Michaelson family is the most fabulous disaster to learn the history about!
Omg, I can't believe Ally haven't watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's absolutely perfect for you and is the mother of shows like this. It's iconic, and you need to watch it immediately!
This is wild. I am a big Klaroline girly, and have been rewatching some of their greatest hits on RUclips, leading to me having a dream last night where Klaus was in love with ME and went full protective, lovesick, obsessed vampire boyfriend. It was glorious 🥲 Can’t wait to watch this, Ally! You always know what we need!
The stuff that gagged me at the time was anything with Klaus, especially when it was revealed that Stefan knew him! The originals are one of my fave parts of the show, you should watch that next! An awesome thing to watch is this EW series breaking down the show with the creators and actors, Nina talks a lot about playing Elena and Katherine in her episode!
i think that stuff didn't gag me as much just because writers can just make up anything abouot the past and say omg these people already crossed paths!!
AS SOON AS YOU SAID BUFFY I'M PAUSING THE VIDEO TO SAY PLEASEEEEEE WATCH BUFFY!!! ALLY YOU'LL LOVE IT! It's tied with Charmed as my favourite tv show of all time! I also think you should watch Charmed but that's not really a teen show the main characters are all in their 20s. But imo two of the best tv shows ever made!
YES!! I grew up watching it while it was airing with my parents and then rewatching it as like a ten year old, then a teenager, and now I rewatch it all the time as an adult and it's just such a layered show that you see and understand new things every single time you watch it and ugh! I think Ally would love it because of all the deeper meanings behind it, as well as just for the entertainment value it provides!
You should DEFINITELY watch Buffy! TVD was my favorite vampire show (I watched it as it was airing) but I discovered Buffy during Covid and it literally laid the groundwork for TVD/future vampire media. Anyway so happy you enjoyed The Vampire Diaries! I still have a soft spot for that show.
Hey, this might be random but i just wanted to say thanks for leaving this comment, it was the first one I saw when I opened the video which peaked my interest enough that I actually started Buffy :D I've never watched the show before but you inspired me and I have now binged so many episodes!
I didn't make it through the show when it was airing live (I bailed sometime in S5), but I decided to give it a go recently, started at the beginning and made it almost all of the way through S7, but turned it off again. Perhaps I'll pick it up someday and finish it, but 7 is baaaaaad. The first 4 seasons are so awesome.
Absolutelly not!!! Don't speak for everybody, giving very FALSE information. Season 7 is beautifully written, incredibly well acted, and they step up on the cinematografy aspect too. Also it's crutial to understand the brothers personality why they act the way they do, It's very grown up an psycological. It has two of the best episodes of the entire show, 11 and 17 where Ian and Paul give a masterfull acting performance. So no, only kids and poorly educated people don't like season 7.
@@Nora-yb9jw where is your sorce of information on which you base this infantile BS? Please publish them here, prove me wrong please....because you know that just saying things doesn't make them real? do you know that?
Hi Ally! I'm 14, and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. You are my absolute favorite youtuber. You create such a safe space for your viewers and your pink eyeshadow is my favorite thing in the world. To anyone who's reading this, remember you are loved and you are enough! 💚💛💜❤🩵🖤🩷🩶🤎💙🤍
Klaus was the best part of this show! The interesting thing is that I was not a Delena fan when I first watched but I was during rewatch!! It still always surprises me that you just watched this show recently!!!
Funny it's kinda the opposite for me. I was completely team delena when I watch the show as it was aired but as I'm currently rewatching it as a grown up guy, it doesn't work as much anymore. What didn't change is that I'm still rooting for Steferine, even tho the writers really did Katherine dirty with the season 4/5.
I started watching season 2 onwards and am so thankfulll. The episodes that gagged the most, season 1 finale, hands down that Katherine reveal will go down in history. Season 2 episodes Masquerade and Rose being back to back bangers that changed the course of the show forever by introducing the iconic originals. The first 10 episodes in season 3 the writers were eating down, brilliant, showstopping, never been done before. Season 3 finale GAGGED.
Giiiirl having you say "Supernatural" so many times had me thinking if you have ever watch that show, I would think you didn't but girl you should. Is pretty long but I just love it since I had to see 1 episode per week xD you should give it a try if you haven't ❤
@@manonshelios I'm also re-watching it again myself and I thought the same when Alli mentioned the cut on the hands from VD and that it was unnecessary :') and I then suddenly lost all hope regarding her giving Supernatural a try, but the stories of this universe are just top level for me I LOVE Supernatural 🥰 even though I'm not a fan of violence either, they are my kind of Super hero 😅
This show was my life in middle school! I remember always looking up the teasers and theories for the next episodes on this TVD blog. And when I saw the teaser for 1x19 (didn't even have to look up the episode number) of Damon and Elena dancing it was the most excited I had ever been in my life. I remember writing theories on this show in my diary. Oh to be a teenage girl again! The most shocking for me was definitely the season 1 finale katherine/Elena reveal. Had me gagged.
hahah is that the miss mystic falls dance or something else? i tihnk i posted a tiktok about it but that was the first time i started to see damon as a good positive potential
I adore the friendship that grows between Damon & Bonnie. I adore Damon & Alaric's as well. I feel like Damon's friendship bonds are hard won but end up so strong.
I definitely would love to see a character ranking!!! I also watched the show far after it had released because I was… I honestly don’t even know what I was watching when it released! But I’m so glad to have watched it now. It has such an aura
I wanted to put in my vote for Buffy! One of my favorite parts of Buffy is how much that show has influenced the genre. I see echoes of it in all teen dramas with supernatural elements. It is so fun to see how many careers it launched. I also recommend watching its sister show Angel. There are some cross over episodes. I did my best to watch them in the order they would have aired on TV. Happy watching!
OMG ALLY, if you haven't watched Buffy or Smallville already, you have to watch them!!! Especially Buffy... you're going to love it, especially the later seasons. Thank you so much for your videos and for the time you dedicate to this conversations with us^^ I really appreciate it!
This is an awesome review, thank you! 👏Ally, you should watch Roswell (the iconic 2000s version, not the flop remake), you're going to love Candy ship and the whole lore.
buffy is definitely a classic but teen wolf ??? with tyler posey and THE dylan obrien??? it’s actually unbelievable just how underrated this show is😭 PLEASE WATCH IT U ABSOLUTELY WONT REGRET IT 💯
23:05 i always thought Damon would drain Elena's blood to get the cure and become human. when Katherine was drained, it was mentioned that she would start aging. since she lived for 500+ years she aged real quick. but Elena on the other hand wasnt a vampire for that long, soo she would age and still be alive
@@AllySheehanI think it’s because she took like the “pure” cure instead of taking it from someone else’s body. It’s like concentrated, same amount as what it took to turn Katherine
@@NathaliaVolkmar ahh thank you!! i thought it was a great "twist" that there was another cure available in the prison world (i guess there would have been one in lily's prison world too right?)
@@AllySheehan Same! I would’ve never have even thought about that possibility! Bonnie was so smart for grabbing it. I definitely think there was one in Lily’s too, but they didn’t really go there as much so I think there was no chance for them to think of that. It would’ve been really interesting though! I feel like Rebekah could’ve taken it, but they probably wanted her around for the originals
This show was so well written for a while! It was a blessing that episodes were only released once a week because we got to watch each at least three times. We got to pick up on every single detail in the story, the character development, the fashion, the set design, you name it. It was just so rich. I had the same experience with PLL for a while. Then I suppose they didn't want to give the writers their well-deserved pay raises, so they left, and for the last few seasons the rest (the set design, the fashion, etc) just fell flat. And yes, we have since found out the VD set was very racist, and it included some of the male supporting actors too, so I don't think I would ever be able to re-watch it again due to the disdain those men give me.
@@AllySheehan I'm not sure exactly because there were a lot of people involved and apparently there was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama and headbutting going on, but I think from Season 5 onward the show started going downhill. I personally didn't even watch the last few seasons.
Are you already a Gilmore girls fan? Would LOVE a series from you on that show! Also, my second vote absolutely goes to Buffy. Such a perfect show, always happy to hear others give their thoughts on that one!
@@chelseabeckham5631 yesss omg especially since the show has such big Taylor Swift vibes (Lorelai has such a similar humor to Taylor’s, and about a million moments in that show perfectly align with Taylor songs)
As someone who *is* a fantasy girlie, I honestly think that the “everything has to be perfectly logical hard magic systems” Reddit lore bros make fantasy feel SO much more intimidating than it is and I’m so mad about that! Good worldbuilding (even in epic high fantasy) should never feel like it’s getting in the way of the story, it’s only meant to enhance it. I’m glad you finally caught the invisible string and watched the Vampire Diaries anyway!
Buffy is so so good, but I’m currently binging Smallville and let me tell you, I AM OBSESSED!!! So I’m going to recommend you watch that next, but I am biased haha
finally!! I've been waiting for this one!!! I've loved this for the last 15 years and rewatched too many times. Will come back to thread my thoughts here lol.
Okay, first of all, JENNA! I loved her, and they just wrote her off???? Also, season one, being darker / moodier, is because it's based on a book series and the crow and the fog and all that is from the books.
Ally, what!! I just saw your story reacting to the last episode, and you already have a video up?? You truly are feeding us, thank you! edit: Teen Wolf!! It's so good, and as observed, its 3rd season is the best. I have also just begun watching Smallville, so I guess that's another good rec.
i've watched tvd in the lockdown days and omg this video made me realise how much i loved that show and i need to rewatch it asap. (anyways ly ally, literally my fav commentary youtuber
Thrilled you're covering Vamps!! I never finished the last season in real time cause I didn't want it to end, lol, just finished it this year on mat leave 😆Ppl were ~pissed~ when Nina left, Ian really stepped up at that time I felt. And BUFFY for the next show!
So want to see a ranking video!! I recently watched the show for the first time and I was about two seasons ahead of you each time so it was so fun to see your reactions on Instagram
Ahhhhh I'm so excited you watched this! It's so freakin good! I watched it when it aired and I'm actually doing a re-watch of TVD with a friend who's never seen it before! We're halfway through season 2 and I'm obsessing all over again!
So fun and refreshing to hear about the show from someone who hasn't seen it before!! Love!! I watched the episodes weekly with my sisters as they were coming out. I vividly remember all three of us crying our eyes out when Alaric was dying so that he wouldn't become a vampire with Be Still by The Fray playing in the background, still get emotional hearing that song hahah It’s crazy that TVD, Glee, PLL and Teen Wolf were all airing at the same time, we were so fed!! Would definitely recommend watching Teen Wolf, but maybe watch a non-supernatural show first in between, cause that show is also a lot! The show Awkward that aired on MTV is also so amazing/dumb and def worth a watch as well as one of my all time faves Ugly Betty which I rewatch yearly, you’ll be shook how many broadway stars have cameos!! Sorry for the long comment, loved the vid!! 💚💚
You should watch Felicity! It’s from the early 2000s and the acting and storylines are so good and feel real. J.J. Abrams (Gracie Abram’s father) co-created it!
Barely into the video, but had to comment. Please give Supernatural a watch! If you like shows about brothers, dipping your toes into fantasy/supernatural/lore-heavy content, and excited about the idea of tumblr fandom, Supernatural is a must-watch.
You should watch Smallville for sure! It's an origin story for Supeman and it's so good, you have the Clark and Lois love story which is for the ages. Also, maybe you should watch just bc Taylor has a song called superman and you can relate it to the show (kinda) lol
ayyy I'm not gonna watch the vid bc I haven't seen the show but I was scrolling and thought how pretty you looked in the thumbnail!!! absolutely glowinggg❤
I still remember writing facebook posts on my cousins site and her on mine (whoever watched it first wrote the post and the other one commented on it after watching) every week when a new episode aired. The midseason finales where always a big thing and the #roadtriptoDEnver had the Delena-fandom in a frenzy. That motel kiss was something else and I remember people also actually saying that Nina said "Ian" during the scene but noone can here because music is playing and it is muted. I think it was even in the worldwide trends on Twitter. Also the "He's your first love, I intend to be your last" delivered by Klaus so lovingly to Caroline was a moment for pretty much the whole fandom. And playing "O come all ya faithful" while Klaus drowns Taylors Mum will also be forever iconic. for Cast-moments/drama: when it got out that Nina and Ian were dating way back when that was a pretty big thing for the fandom. On the other hand I do remember some drama about Julie happening at the time but can't remember what it was and then there was the whole Matt Davis maybe acting inappropriate towards some of the actresses but I don't think anything was ever confirmed. My thought for the whole doppelganger soulmate question: I think they wanted to use it as an "look this love between Damon and Elena is so strong it even overcomes fate" That would also mean that yes Elenas doppelganger counterpart should have been Tom but Stefans wouldn't have been Kathrine as Kathrine was roughly 350 older than Stefan so they never could have ended up together. That is a hole in that theory which a lot of fanon explains by there being doppelgangers we don't know about. So Silas and Amara, Kathrine and some bloke we never got to see, Stefan and another doppelganger and than Elena and Tom. Which also defeats the pint they make in one of the first seasons about how doppelgangers only come about every 500 years. But that is defeated anyways even with Kat being Stefans doppelganger counterpart. I think by then they just forgot about other info they gave out in earlier seasons. And as much as I loved Delena back then. When I read fanfiction now I drift more towards Klaulena, Kolena or Elejah. Don't know why but I love them and I stand by that
thank you for telling me about the iconic moments!! honestly "He's your first love, I intend to be your last" was one of the best lines i've ever heard haha, if i watch the originals i hope to see them end up together since stefan is gone
@ i think the writers did a great job of making you care about the characters in a very similar way to tvd, so even if youre not as obsessed you’ll grow to like them a lot more! unless you really dislike them and dont care for their family dynamics since that is kind of the point of the show lol
I thought I couldn’t click any faster on an Ally video than I have for the TS ones, but my fingers proved me wrong the moment THIS one popped up!! 😄😄😄 I have been waiting so long for these thoughts 🥲
So I've never watched TVD but I loved watching this video. It was interesting despite not having much context (I was on Tumblr when the show was big so like, I'm not completely TVD blind) but I've been a fan of Candice King for many years now and because of that I've always wanted to know stuff about TVD but I could never watch it because vampires are one of my biggest will give me nightmares for certain things so thankyou for making this video and I would absolutely wanna see your character ranking. I also just wanna support you in things you're excited about cause I like you and your videos so I'm glad this show could make you so happy 💜
GUYS I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM TO TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW OH MY GODDD
don't forget to give the video a "like" if you want to see a character ranking because i am dying to spill my faves and most HATED hahah
I wish i could like this video a thousand times😅
I need the ranking! I'm so curious about who your least favorite is! (Please say Matt 🤭)
Will you be watching The Originals and Legacies? You should. Both are really good. The originals leans into the darker side of the show while Legacies leans more into humour
pls do the ranking!!
Do a character ranking!
I think that the reason why Elena and Damon past moments were more emotional than reunion is that Nina and Ian were dating at that time, so chemistry were THERE
The motel kiss between Elena and Damon is my favorite 15 seconds of tv that has ever aired
genuinely that's up there with nathan and haley's first kiss
Watching that live, I was screaming and clapping! Lol
plus Jess & Nick first kiss on New Girl
YES THE ENTIRE SHOW ITS STEFAN TELLING THE STORY IT STARTS AND ENDS W HIM
The most stunning shocking most touching part of the series was watching Elena burn her house and turn her emotions off. I had chills all over my body even rewatching it over and over.
YES OMG
nina's acting in that entire scene WHERE WAS HER EMMY
Can we pls talk about the TOP TIER music throughout the show as well omg - this show literally introduced me to so many good songs back then
I couldn’t listen to A drop in the ocean without crying 😂
same with one tree hill!
The world building in the originals is also top tier! Its so believable and as a vampire diaries fan, the originals is equally as gripping, but in a different way.
I'm currently about halfway through S1 of The Originals after completing TVD for the first time. I was looking forward to it because I love Klaus and the originals lore, but so far I'm really struggling to get into it. Would you say it gets better than S1, or am I unlikely to love it if I'm not already?

if they weren't my favourites on TVD, do you think i'd still enjoy their spinoff?
@@AllySheehan it starts off a little rocky imo but it is defo worth watching!
@@AllySheehanyou will come around to liking them.
@@AllySheehan You really fall in love with the originals cast in a way that you may not have felt about them in TVD! It really is so fun and worth it. The Michaelson family is the most fabulous disaster to learn the history about!

Agreed! Buffy is the grandparent of shows like vampire diaries ❤
Yes! I love Buffy 🤗 I watched it for the first time last year 🙌🏻

Yayyyy it’s here! So excited to sink my teeth into this video 😍❤️
heheheee
12:36 fun taylor/tvd fact: the writers said that lexi’s character was intended for taylor to play + based off her
I adore the friendship that grows between Damon & Bonnie. I adore Damon & Alaric's as well. I feel like Damon's friendship bonds are hard won but end up so strong.
so true!!!
OMG THE HAIR OH MY GOODNESS ALLY YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL
Smallville!!! It’s a little goofy in the beginning but the true slow burn of Clark hiding his identity is just so good
watch the originals and legacies
Is the legacies completed? Or are they cancelled?
@itsyogurlria unfortunately canceled
don’t watch legacies lmao it’s childish and weird
@dilaurentisliars i liked it

i see!! and this might be a stupid question, but why did elena only need that tiny vile of the cure then rather than a whole body's worth?
@@AllySheehanI think it’s because she took like the “pure” cure instead of taking it from someone else’s body. It’s like concentrated, same amount as what it took to turn Katherine
@@NathaliaVolkmar ahh thank you!! i thought it was a great "twist" that there was another cure available in the prison world (i guess there would have been one in lily's prison world too right?)
@@AllySheehan Same! I would’ve never have even thought about that possibility! Bonnie was so smart for grabbing it. I definitely think there was one in Lily’s too, but they didn’t really go there as much so I think there was no chance for them to think of that. It would’ve been really interesting though! I feel like Rebekah could’ve taken it, but they probably wanted her around for the originals
@ oh god yeah, I would have loved for Rebekah to have that chance 🥹🥹
This show was so well written for a while! It was a blessing that episodes were only released once a week because we got to watch each at least three times. We got to pick up on every single detail in the story, the character development, the fashion, the set design, you name it. It was just so rich. I had the same experience with PLL for a while. Then I suppose they didn't want to give the writers their well-deserved pay raises, so they left, and for the last few seasons the rest (the set design, the fashion, etc) just fell flat. And yes, we have since found out the VD set was very racist, and it included some of the male supporting actors too, so I don't think I would ever be able to re-watch it again due to the disdain those men give me.
truly, the writing and acting was SO much better than i expected!!!
when did th writing staff leave?
@@AllySheehan I'm not sure exactly because there were a lot of people involved and apparently there was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama and headbutting going on, but I think from Season 5 onward the show started going downhill. I personally didn't even watch the last few seasons.
Are you already a Gilmore girls fan? Would LOVE a series from you on that show! Also, my second vote absolutely goes to Buffy. Such a perfect show, always happy to hear others give their thoughts on that one!
And season 3 of Gilmore Girls follows Ally's rule that that's always the best season!
@@chelseabeckham5631 yesss omg especially since the show has such big Taylor Swift vibes (Lorelai has such a similar humor to Taylor’s, and about a million moments in that show perfectly align with Taylor songs)
@@alliekauffmann7976exactly what i thought too!
loving the new mic Ally & yes please do more iconic tv show content!! sincerely, a nostalgic teenage girl in her twenties 🫶🏻
As someone who *is* a fantasy girlie, I honestly think that the “everything has to be perfectly logical hard magic systems” Reddit lore bros make fantasy feel SO much more intimidating than it is and I’m so mad about that! Good worldbuilding (even in epic high fantasy) should never feel like it’s getting in the way of the story, it’s only meant to enhance it. I’m glad you finally caught the invisible string and watched the Vampire Diaries anyway!
the vampire diaries did world building in SUCH a smart, digestible way!
Buffy is so so good, but I’m currently binging Smallville and let me tell you, I AM OBSESSED!!! So I’m going to recommend you watch that next, but I am biased haha
i love you for this like tvd is my jam, that show is everything and more.
S1-S6 are the best seasons and S3 is the peak
finally!! I've been waiting for this one!!! I've loved this for the last 15 years and rewatched too many times. Will come back to thread my thoughts here lol.
Okay, first of all, JENNA! I loved her, and they just wrote her off???? Also, season one, being darker / moodier, is because it's based on a book series and the crow and the fog and all that is from the books.
You said, "On the list of things that annoyed me, elena-" and I thought you'd just end there because same. Lol.
@@alyssatornow jenna was one of my BIGGEST losses
YESSS ALLYYYY I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE YOU STARTED WATCHING IT !!!!❤❤❤
honestly ME TOO
@@AllySheehanhahah i can imagine, also may i say: you look so pretty with straight hair
@ aww thank you!! This is my natural hair haha I just never wear it this way
TVD is my all-time fave series! So glad you finally watched it girl! I recommend Teen Wolf or Buffy next. Both are fantastic!
i think next on the list should be the originals but i do think you should put supernatural on the list for the future!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
hope you enjoy!!!
Ally, what!! I just saw your story reacting to the last episode, and you already have a video up?? You truly are feeding us, thank you!
edit: Teen Wolf!! It's so good, and as observed, its 3rd season is the best. I have also just begun watching Smallville, so I guess that's another good rec.
filmed and edited in one day!! i was so excited to get this out haha
i've watched tvd in the lockdown days and omg this video made me realise how much i loved that show and i need to rewatch it asap. (anyways ly ally, literally my fav commentary youtuber
Thrilled you're covering Vamps!! I never finished the last season in real time cause I didn't want it to end, lol, just finished it this year on mat leave 😆Ppl were ~pissed~ when Nina left, Ian really stepped up at that time I felt. And BUFFY for the next show!
So want to see a ranking video!! I recently watched the show for the first time and I was about two seasons ahead of you each time so it was so fun to see your reactions on Instagram
okay as someone currently in teen wolf hell right now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I recommend that for your next watch!!
THE STRAIGHT HAIR OMG LOVE
had to let my natural hair out for this one!
Buffy is my die hard favorite show, started watching it at 11yo and watch it to this day, such a great show
Once upon a time and also the third season of that is the best one
ally looks so pretty and genuinely happy it's so cool
yesss I waited for this one, can't wait to get home so I can watch it
i’ve been WAITING for this one from you!!! sat and ready for class to begin
hehe hope you enjoy!!
Season 1 Damon got the Chuck Bass treatment 😅 forgive and forget
LOVE THE NEW MIC!
thank you so much!! my fist time using it so still fetting the hang, hopefully it keeps getting better :)
I think that the Damon and Elena reunion at the end, might not have been so emotional because they had broken up irl :(
thank you so much for giving us your thoughts, i just knew you’d had superior takes. p.s. genuinely think you’d love the umbrella academy!
i’m not interested in watching tvd and still watched the whole video 🫡 love u ally
Most iconic show ever, is this my sign to rewatch it? .. again xo
yes it is!
I watched it on TV from first to last episode, and I’ve watched it about 20 times since 😂 best show ever!
now that i've watched it, i can totally see why!
Also, PLL had nearly the same run time wise, so you were def watching that 😂
@ ohhh yes i was running my PLL theory blog that makes sense
SO HAPPY WE CAN HAVE A ANOTHER OBSESSION IN COMMON HAHAHA. I have been waiting for this since you started watching it last year!!! ❤❤
Ahhhhh I'm so excited you watched this! It's so freakin good! I watched it when it aired and I'm actually doing a re-watch of TVD with a friend who's never seen it before! We're halfway through season 2 and I'm obsessing all over again!
what is your friend thinking of it so far!
So fun and refreshing to hear about the show from someone who hasn't seen it before!! Love!! I watched the episodes weekly with my sisters as they were coming out. I vividly remember all three of us crying our eyes out when Alaric was dying so that he wouldn't become a vampire with Be Still by The Fray playing in the background, still get emotional hearing that song hahah It’s crazy that TVD, Glee, PLL and Teen Wolf were all airing at the same time, we were so fed!! Would definitely recommend watching Teen Wolf, but maybe watch a non-supernatural show first in between, cause that show is also a lot! The show Awkward that aired on MTV is also so amazing/dumb and def worth a watch as well as one of my all time faves Ugly Betty which I rewatch yearly, you’ll be shook how many broadway stars have cameos!!
Sorry for the long comment, loved the vid!! 💚💚
OMG I squealed when I saw this video. I’ve been patiently waiting to hear all your thoughts!
heheh can't wait to discuss
You should watch Felicity! It’s from the early 2000s and the acting and storylines are so good and feel real. J.J. Abrams (Gracie Abram’s father) co-created it!
omg yes i think this has my husband henry from grey's anatomy too?
OH MY GOD ITS HERE ITS HERE IM SO EXCITED HELL YESH
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Ally I think you would LOVE Ghost Whisperer - Jennifer Love Hewitt made me cry like every episode - & Charmed as well if you’ve never seen it !!
THE DOOR OPENING LMFAO ALLY
Side note, gonna have to do a TVD rewatch now. I gave up after season 4 😅
WHAT KIND OF WITCH MAGIC WAS GOING ON THERE I WAS HOME ALONE
Barely into the video, but had to comment. Please give Supernatural a watch! If you like shows about brothers, dipping your toes into fantasy/supernatural/lore-heavy content, and excited about the idea of tumblr fandom, Supernatural is a must-watch.
i highly recommend Dawson Creek as your next watch if you haven’t seen it!!!! One tree hill coming of age vibes and EXCELLENT 90s/y2k fashion :)
You should watch Smallville for sure! It's an origin story for Supeman and it's so good, you have the Clark and Lois love story which is for the ages. Also, maybe you should watch just bc Taylor has a song called superman and you can relate it to the show (kinda) lol
ahhhh ally and tvd- my two faves in one video !!!
OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG 🎉🎉
i’m so happy this video finally exists 🧛🏽♀️🩸
I have to stop this video and go binge watch Vampire Diaries. It’s been on my radar forever. I’ll come back to this video when I’m done. 🫶
hehehe see you in 8 seasons!
Ohhhh Buffy! You should definitely watch that!
I WILL NEVER FORGET FALLING OFF THE COUCH SCREAMING AS THEY UNRAVEL ELENA'S SIRE BOND WHILE KISS ME BY ED SHEERAN PLAYS, OH MY GOD
it was BRILLIANTTTT so well done omg
If you liked the twists of this show, your for sure gonna love the Originals.
What a cross over of interests! Watching this weekly for years was the ride of my life!
ayyy I'm not gonna watch the vid bc I haven't seen the show but I was scrolling and thought how pretty you looked in the thumbnail!!! absolutely glowinggg❤
aww thank you lovely!!
Buffy, Teen Wolf (here's another duo figuring things out) and Veronica Mars - I think you would really enjoy all of them❤
I still remember writing facebook posts on my cousins site and her on mine (whoever watched it first wrote the post and the other one commented on it after watching) every week when a new episode aired. The midseason finales where always a big thing and the #roadtriptoDEnver had the Delena-fandom in a frenzy. That motel kiss was something else and I remember people also actually saying that Nina said "Ian" during the scene but noone can here because music is playing and it is muted. I think it was even in the worldwide trends on Twitter.
Also the "He's your first love, I intend to be your last" delivered by Klaus so lovingly to Caroline was a moment for pretty much the whole fandom. And playing "O come all ya faithful" while Klaus drowns Taylors Mum will also be forever iconic.
for Cast-moments/drama: when it got out that Nina and Ian were dating way back when that was a pretty big thing for the fandom. On the other hand I do remember some drama about Julie happening at the time but can't remember what it was and then there was the whole Matt Davis maybe acting inappropriate towards some of the actresses but I don't think anything was ever confirmed.
My thought for the whole doppelganger soulmate question: I think they wanted to use it as an "look this love between Damon and Elena is so strong it even overcomes fate" That would also mean that yes Elenas doppelganger counterpart should have been Tom but Stefans wouldn't have been Kathrine as Kathrine was roughly 350 older than Stefan so they never could have ended up together. That is a hole in that theory which a lot of fanon explains by there being doppelgangers we don't know about. So Silas and Amara, Kathrine and some bloke we never got to see, Stefan and another doppelganger and than Elena and Tom. Which also defeats the pint they make in one of the first seasons about how doppelgangers only come about every 500 years. But that is defeated anyways even with Kat being Stefans doppelganger counterpart. I think by then they just forgot about other info they gave out in earlier seasons.
And as much as I loved Delena back then. When I read fanfiction now I drift more towards Klaulena, Kolena or Elejah. Don't know why but I love them and I stand by that
thank you for telling me about the iconic moments!! honestly "He's your first love, I intend to be your last" was one of the best lines i've ever heard haha, if i watch the originals i hope to see them end up together since stefan is gone
i didnt watch legacies but the originals is so worth it!! super engaging, i binged all of it in like a month
wowww okay! do you think i'd love it even if i wasn't as obsessed with the originals as everyone else?
@ i think the writers did a great job of making you care about the characters in a very similar way to tvd, so even if youre not as obsessed you’ll grow to like them a lot more! unless you really dislike them and dont care for their family dynamics since that is kind of the point of the show lol
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID SINCE YOU SAID U FINALLY FINISHED IT MONTHS AGO!!!!🎉🎉🎉
omg you have to watch Teen Wolf (and the 3rd season is the best as always) but i've also gotta recommend Lost it's just so good!
I thought I couldn’t click any faster on an Ally video than I have for the TS ones, but my fingers proved me wrong the moment THIS one popped up!! 😄😄😄
I have been waiting so long for these thoughts 🥲
heheh hope you enjoy!
So I've never watched TVD but I loved watching this video. It was interesting despite not having much context (I was on Tumblr when the show was big so like, I'm not completely TVD blind) but I've been a fan of Candice King for many years now and because of that I've always wanted to know stuff about TVD but I could never watch it because vampires are one of my biggest will give me nightmares for certain things so thankyou for making this video and I would absolutely wanna see your character ranking. I also just wanna support you in things you're excited about cause I like you and your videos so I'm glad this show could make you so happy 💜
0h you are so sweet, thank you !!!! i hope someday you sit down and fall in love with it too
IVE WAITED FOR THIS SINCE YOU STARTED WATCHING YES MA’AM🙏🙏
YES!! I’ve been waiting for this video!! 💖💖
YESSSSSSSS, ITS HERE!!!! Thank you Ally!
