Hello love, you're not bothering me! I'm going to refer to them as JT in this, just so that it stands a chance of not showing up in the tag for the maybe 4 shippers.

Okay, so I guess continuing JT is theoretically possible as much as anything else in s7? But I have some severe doubts. Number one, Tabitha is and was a historically unpopular character, and JT is an incredibly unpopular ship. This isn't a bias thing, this is actual facts. Numerically, statistically, JT is a really really bad idea. That's to say nothing of the fact that the actors look like they're being forced to interact at gunpoint.

(Sidenote: how-do, Melinda! For your sake I hope it takes you more than 5 minutes to find and reblog this. And you should probably consider removing your full name from some of your socials. Just an aside.)

Anyway, could they return to s6 or keep the JT going in S7? I guess, but it's been to the detriment of both characters, who have really nosedived in popularity because of JT. Then we have to consider if they did, what story would there be to continue? Life with the JT kids? BA planning their wedding? Percival is gone, the comet has hit, the couples were wrapped up with a neat little bow, in all seriousness, what story is there to return to?

Then we get into Tabitha's role this season. The line she got in the description was very 👀 , as is the fact that she's hardly been seen in BTS this season. Making her an angel talking to Jughead makes her plot entirely contingent on his, and per RAS, we know that he kinda settles into the 50s thing at the end of the first episode. Again, this is all spec, but given her unpopularity, and given how much they need to keep this season to things that work, I do wonder if she is very sporadically in the season or only in the first episode. Who knows really, but is JT a thing I am worried about? Nah, not really.

(Also, thanks for mentioning Tangs, one of the most genuinely hilarious parts of last season. Without hyperbole, a couple with zero fans, I about died laughing when they were on screen. Chemistry comparable to JT, acting skills minimal to none, compatibility nonexistent, married on a lie. Ah, sweet love.)

First impression: I found her very charming and winning in the pilot

Impression now: I love her as a character overall she isn’t my favorite TVD or tvdu girl but consistently top 8 at least and I love like 90% of tvdu women so. I generally enjoy her personality and find her sympathetic, with caveats regarding her treatment of her friends sometimes but overall I do think she gets an unwarranted amount of hate and have stood by that. She’s also a pretty interesting character to me in how she navigates people and situations, a very entertaining Cancer for sure.

Favorite moment: anytime she’s mean to the Salvatore’s is A+ whether she has her humanity or not.

Idea for a story: I’m a beklena shipper so a lot of my Elena story ideas would involve them. Rn I’m thinking maybe a canon divergent from s5 where Rebekah is actually around Mystic Falls a lot more than she is in canon at that time, she and Matt sort of continued having an on and off thing, and Elena’s aware of it and has somewhat jealous reactions. She and Damon actually do break up during their Troubles tm and she and Rebekah grow a lot closer, if the Katherine body swap happened maybe it would be interesting if Rebekah was able to figure it out since I always liked that she had a less idealized view of who Elena was while still developing a soft spot for her. After Elena is back in her body they date (I also love that Matt would have a terrible time here I am a patented Matt Donovan hater)

Unpopular opinion: that I like her a lot, I don’t ship either of her main ships my preferred otp for her is Rebekah and the only m/f Elena ship I found interesting was Elena/Elijah which I’m less into now than I was originally since my feelings on Elijah overall are a lot more sour now, but I still am compelled by the very specific flavor of death and the maiden there (basically my take on Elena shipping is that I only like her with people she’s stabbed in the back lmaoo). And I very much enjoy NH Elena. Directly pre and post NH in s4 is … another story but switch-off Elena queenie.

Favorite relationship: Rebekah romantically but my favorite Elena dynamic in general is Katherine I love doppelgänger/shadow self trope <3. For a familial/friendship dynamic I really liked her and Jenna’s relationship

Favorite headcanon: she and Bonnie were each other’s first kiss

this was fun thank you!! <3
