My Mind's Eye View

I get being upset about Bonnie not being invited to the Mikaelson ball, but here you go once again, blaming Caroline for a choice the writer's made, something she had no part of. People are getting weird AF with their anti Caroline stance and it's getting ridiculous.

Here you go once again, putting words I didn't say in my mouth.

Does it upset me that Bonnie wasn't invited to the ball? Yes. Does Caroline being there make me mad? No. Do I think she shouldn't have come? Yes, I certainly think so.

I complained about Caroline and Matt being there because plot wise it was absolutely stupid and it made no sense. They didn't add absolutely nothing to the events developing there, and their presence was completely unneeded: Caroline and Matt were there solely because of Klaus and Rebekah/delena. This was the moment the showrunners decided to start writing klaroline, exclusively and only because the fans liked their first scene together, so they decided to have her going to the ball just to have their "romance" developing, which made no sense for her at all;

Matt was just there for Rebekah and to make Damon and Elena fight because of his altercation with Kol, nothing else, and his presence and the issue he caused wasn't that serious because they made up an episode later. Why would he go? He was a human on a house full of the oldest vampires to ever live, and he was aware of this. I'm aware Matt isn't the brightest person to walk the earth, but everybody knows a human shouldn't be around bloodthirsty vampires.

Again, just stupid. Caroline and Matt shouldn't have been at the ball, that's all. Elena and the Salvatore going made sense: she was the doppelgänger, Stefan had story with them and Damon wouldn't allow her to go anywhere without any of them.

Bonnie, however, had every single reason to be there:

What is ridiculous is that people dickride 3x14 to hell because of the fanservice. I love this episode, but calling out it's flaws it's not a bad thing.

Caroline became a bit more tolerable after she became a vampire but emphasise on bit. She’s the type of girl I specifically choose to avoid in real life when it comes to friendships. She’s wildly insecure and jealous of her best friends, she is only loyal to men and her romantic interests and is incredibly insensitive, resentful, selfish and tone death to others but demands a high level of respect from everyone around her (she’s basically the Alicent of TVD) . She puts herself on a pedestal. It’s almost as if she’s in constant competition with Elena which we know that she is as she has made multiple snide bitchy comments about her. Someone who is your best friend shouldn’t be speaking about you like that. She’s just very intolerable and unlikeable for me as she’s just a walking pick me and she gives me PTSD to a few mean girl friendships I’ve encountered in my life. When they pretend that they’re your friend but envy you secretly and think you don’t deserve your academic sucess, your well-paid & exciting job, your hot boyfriend, etc . I never understood why all the men loved her but then again men do love doormats and Caroline will slut-shame other women and throw anyone under the bus for a man so she’s the perfect choice!

People keep going on about how Caroline had this amazing character development when she really didn't change that much. I think she just stopped saying absolutely everything out loud, but she reverted back to that in season 4 onwards. She is the kind of person I couldn't come close to without getting mad at her comments and energy.

She also not a very good friend to Elena and Bonnie. Like yeah, she cares about them and loves them, but she doesn't really care about their feelings or opinions if they aren't the same as hers. And I would understand if she simply wasn't good with feelings and misread signals (happens to me) but it's not that, Caroline is simply very selfish in that regard. She also doesn't respect their boundaries even though they tell her things plainly.

She was not a very loyal girlfriend to Tyler either. Klaus killed his mother and kick him out of town (gotta love his crimes) and in a couple of weeks later Caroline was being all friendly with him going to his house to ask him for favours. There isn't a lot of loyalty there.

I agree, Caroline is like the Alicent of TVD.
