I Got Thinking Too Much About Marwa From What We Do In The Shadows Again And How She Was Canonically

I got thinking too much about Marwa from What We Do in the Shadows again and how she was canonically making observations of Jupiter and Saturn in the 1200s. Then I thought about how Elena took Damon to go watch a meteor shower, and I decided that Marwa and Elena should get away from all the vampire drama B.S. in their lives and go nerd out about astronomy together, and this moodboard sort of happened. I also thought about how Elena becomes a doctor and went ah, they are both women in STEM! So I ran with that as a theme too.

But yeah, Marwa needs a friend who will actually support her interests and engage with her intellectually (no shade to Nadja and the Guide, I'm glad they had a fun weekend watching Mamma Mia together which was literally the only time we got to actually see Marwa happy onscreen, but they have never demonstrated much interest in science that I can recall and I want Marwa to have an astronomy buddy), and I think Elena would be fascinated by her and her perspectives on astronomy from centuries ago, and they could learn about modern astronomical advances together. If I find the time and energy I might even write fic about it, but for now, here is a moodboard so that we can all bask in the vibes of my beautiful crossover vision together.

elena gilbert marwa wwdits Marwa/Elena Marlena Marwalena I'm not necessarily viewing this as a romantic ship but I'm also not not viewing it as one. take it either way as it pleases you rowing the rarepair rowboat (thank you freddieslater for letting me use that tag that's such a good tag) the vampire diaries what we do in the shadows Marwa the Relentless at first I didn't want to call her that because Nandor is such garbage to her. not even garbage. he hollows her out and destroys her soul but I like the idea that she is also relentless in her own way. if only insomuch as she survived him. which really she didn't the more I think about what happened to Marwa the more I feel like she endured the worst fate imaginable. I mean what Nandor did to her was really so much more evil than any of the compulsion we see in Vampire Diaries because I mean he completely erased everything that made her who she was. He chipped away at her personality and her sense of self bit by bit until he literally deleted anything recognizable as Marwa from existence. I need to scream about it. and the only scene with her smiling is the one I took that screenshot from. The only. Scene. anyways I'm so glad she's fine now & having fun showing Elena cool telescopes and telling her about all of Jupiter's moons &how to see them I love astronomy so if somebody on TV mentions liking astronomy I become bonded for life with them. lol TVD rarepair rowboat wwdits not to be anti-wwdits; I do love Nandermo. but they did Marwa so dirty justice for marwa astronomy moodboard I made this weeks ago but I got so busy with the play but now the play is over and I went 'hey remember that moodboard you should post it' so here it be :) it's not the best moodboard I've ever made but I made it in a passionate fervor of feminist energy and I like it
