U Like Hanna But Not Caroline?
u like hanna but not caroline?
alright friend. let me be clear đ.
Hanna and Caroline are different even if they have a typical girly tastes. Hanna was a good friend, good girlfriend to each of her partners, and never distracted from the main plot since she was (and all 3 main girls) were essential to the plot. Whereas Caroline wasnât as needed her storyline seemed done in s2 outside of her getting kidnapped, tortured and dating someone new 3-8âŚno one ever addressed Caroline accepting gifs or Klaus help/enabling some emotional connection to him while still having some ties to Tyler.
my issues with Caroline are because of writing not the character type itself though Iâve faced harassment for 6 months+ because someone couldnât understand. The narratives that were pushed through Caroline are why she gets the criticisms.
Ex: Caroline and Bonnie should be on the same level as characters since they arenât the leads.(Elena,Damon, Stefan levelâŚ)However, Caroline being white and Julieâs favorite to write for(she has admitted this) sheâs placed on a level that Bonnie isnât on. Caroline doesnât push the plot or lore the way Bonnie/The Bennettâs had ex: The Petrovas/Bennetts, The Mikaelsonâs had a Bennett, Grams helped the Gemini coven etc etc.. Caroline gets the screetime and romances that gives her visibility she shouldnât have had over Bonnie. When it comes to Bonnieâs emotions it becomes clear in those smaller moments she sees her feelings as a burden while Caroline we get all of them so forefront
Bonnieâs written off by millions of fans as a diversity hire for Kat and plot-device to everyoneâŚwhen her family is apart of the lore! You have white witches like Freya whoâs tasked up until s5 with saving her family, Davina was the savior to Kolâs problems and Hope literally calls herself a martyr in legacies. Sheâs the strongest of her friend group thus makes all the sacrifices and becoming the tribrid is one in itself.
So what was the difference from Bonnie/The Bennettâs and the other women from the fans to the writers? Being black or brown (in Qetsiyahâs case) I donât hate Caroline but what I do dislike is how her gain is all from Bonnie being lessened. None of these witches shouldâve been tasked with serving anyone. I think it wouldâve been cool as fuck to see them all team up. Women > but you know this isnât the place for that. On Caroline I tag my posts as anti to be respectful to other fans. No one wants to enter a tag seeing hate for someone they like, tumblr etiquetteâŚ.
The feminine/snarky/fun character type was never my issue with Caroline. Brooke Davis IS one of my favorite characters of all time too & she embodies the feminine/snarky/fun but serious type. Hanna has her moments where she isnât the best either but she was never a self-insert. Thatâs the divide here.
