Sofia's World

And this is why...

The poor guy (interviewer) dared to ask the, what seems to be, taboo question.

At first he’s generally speaking about the possible return of characters we’ve come to love or hate like Sheriff Forbes, Kai (just to name a couple), but clearly someone *cough*Ian*cough* just thought of one person he could possibly be refering to:

 But to be honest, it’s a question every fan, and not only Delena fan, wants the answer to. Because as Zach beautifully put it “This show wouldn’t be where it is without her” And I’m not saying this to put Nina on a higher spot than everyone else on the show, no! I’m saying this because SHE, as well as the other actors such as Ian and Paul, were a very big part of the show. I mean, it was all about the doppelganger and history repeating itself with the Salvatore brothers. 

That was the beginning of TVD!!! And someone *cough*Ian*cough*, seems to have forgotten about that. It’s clear that he has bitter feelings towards Nina Dobrev and it makes me sad to see that. Especially because I fell for his lie that they were still friends even after their break-up. And ok, I wouldn’t want to be friends with my ex either, but at least I wouldn’t try to ignore her existence or worse, which he is doing in this interview, try to keep her from coming back and saying goodbye to the fans. Anyways, I got sidetracked...back to the interview.

As soon as the question is in the air, Ian immediately shoots it down saying Nope, no one is coming back. Clearly the interviewer is taken back by this sudden answer. Aggressive much?

 Notice how Ian even glances at Julie for confirmation!!, which he thinks he gets, because she playfully says “zero” (mind you she’s laughing).

Ok, so far so good. 

At this point, someone would think he was only joking, give that guy a break. 

But now comes the important part, where he, the charming Ian Somerhalder, shows his real face, his real feelings about the return of Nina Dobrev.

Julie explains to us and the interviewer, that of course we will see some old faces back. TVD wouldn’t be the same without some kind of ghost or whatever returning. To this, Ian has one response:

Ok, so this weren’t his exact words, but you get the picture.

After this, I can only laugh and roll my eyes at how ridiculous Ian (and others, whom I won’t mention) reacts to what Julie has to say. 

First of all, you’re an ADULT!!! Stop acting like a teenager who had a break-up and doesn’t want to see his ex ever ever ever ever again. 

Second of all, if Nina comes back, and I’m saying if in bold, it’s not Ian’s decision! It’s the writers’. 

What really bothers me on this point is, that he’s acted more than once as if it was obvious that Nina would NEVER EVER come back. That certainty, as if a deal had been made or whatever. It’s just weird and suspicious, 

 I attended BloodyNightCon Europe 2015, where this was asked:

Fan: I heard Nina Dobrev will be coming back for the series finale, is this true? Ian: I hope you didn’t pay for this information. 

I laughed when he said that at that time, because I didn’t really think much of it, but now those kind of answers and reactions to oppositions are starting to pile up and it’s making me sad. Maybe even a bit angry.

I mean sure, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion on someone, but it shouldn’t affect your work. It mustn’t!! You’re supposed to be professionals!!! Grow up, for God’s sake, because I really thought actors, especially Ian, had it all together. That he was as real as it gets. Honest and everything. 

Like I said in the beginning, this rant, especially about Ian, was something I never thought I would have to do, because I really admired him. I had a lot of respect for him and his work, not only as an actor, but also as someone doing a lot for our environment. I simply respected him as a human being and adored him. (Which is why I attended BNCE2015 and took a pic with him)

PS. I still have to post about that experience, in which I will tell you about how I met Ian and the others

I just hope my feelings won’t ruin the 8th season for me, because that would be sad (for me. I know you couldn’t care less :p)

In the end, the quarrel between Nina and Ian is their business. We, the fans, have no right to get our noses in their business. It is their lives and they’re only people, just like us. 

Which is why it is crucial to keep this in mind:

BE NICE TO PEOPLE

Always! Whether you’re a famous actor or a regular person like me.

Don’t talk shit about someone you’ve shared fun memories with, even if in the end those memories darkened. There was a reason you once liked that person. 

Ok, we’ve reached the end of my post. 

Again, I don’t hate Ian, I’m just super disappointed about how he’s acting lately.
