The Vampire Diaries 1x13 “Children of the Damned” FULL REACTION

I really have to say I don't blame Damon for most of his choices, sure he's impulsive and really dangerous but so is Stefan. but they're also very similar. Damon can be sweet and caring underneath all that while Stefan can also be rash and impulsive. so I just find it interesting to see how you react to Damon in this season and I know I'm late to your reactions but I'm curious to see how you'll react to both the changes both him and Stefan will got through in the other seasons. I still love your reactions.

The town killed vampires because they were feeding on humans. They were hurting and killing their families. Why wouldn’t the town hunt them down? It doesn’t matter that vampires need blood to live. If they are feeding on people they are a threat

Its frustrating how Damon (and other vampires they have and will come across) are held to the same social standards as humans when it comes to killing, yet they are still looked down on as animals, even Stefan implied that a vampire's life was insignificant when he mentioned that the town killed 27 vampires in the old church, not people...

Damon literally killed his uncle, innocent people, Lexi Stefan's best friend, he bit Bonnie trying to kill her, he manipulated Caroline and wanted to kill her too, let's not even talk about what he did to Vicky , at this point in the series even though I love Damon for multiple reasons, I don't see why they should feel remorse for trying to prevent other innocent people from dying even if they must have been lying, they owe nothing to Damon.

I don’t how Damon is the asshole on this situation. They lied to Damon the whole time

The ptsd aspect is interesting about Damon, but I’m very empathic and I can’t help but feel for every person that is killed. Katherine may have “only” killed those people to teach Damon but she still killed them. They are gone and i find myself thinking about their families that will never know what happened to them. I know it’s not real and it’s a show but that’s how my brain works. So it hurts every time Damon or Katherine kills someone. People keep hinting that everyone is grey so I’ll assume Stefan and or Elena cross the line later on but I can’t give my opinion on what I haven’t seen yet so until then I’m rooting for them over Damon who kills without remorse. It’s getting good though I’m excited😄

There is a lot more to the backstory to come. One aspect about Damon and why he was so obsessed with Katherine is that there is a very good chance he was suffering from PTSD. He saw battle, which would have been enough to have an effect on his emotional wellbeing. I also think it skewed his perception of death. Vampires aren't supposed to feed from animals. War is senseless, but to survive the vampires need to feed. Katherine was normally feeding from Stefan and Damon, she only killed those people to show Damon how to hunt. He has seen humans kill humans for in his eyes, less. Who is more evil? People who create wars or vampires trying to survive? Him being in battle was referred to in 1x6 so it isn't a spoiler. Damon's war PTSD would have carried over into his vampire mentality too. When Damon loves someone, friends, lovers, family, he is extremely loyal and will do anything for you. I think Katherine would have played on those issues and manipulated him. Ben asked when he could go hunting again, suggesting they'd already been hunting. The amount of blood in that bottle, which was old and not from a blood bag, was large. I doubt the donor survived as Anna did refer to killing whoever Ben wanted after they'd gotten the tomb open. This suggests she also has little regard for human life. Anna was already a vampire before Damon and Stefan turned, so she is older, and she is drinking human blood, which is why she is as strong, or maybe even stronger than Damon. Great reaction, I'm super pumped for the next one. Can't wait.

Haha good😂 I mean it’s fun to watch but I always get so into shows that I imagine if they were real. I’d be right there with the towns folk

Other Boy Reactions

If I recall from various conventions, Paul & Ian would always say in jest (sort of 😁) that Elena shouldn't be with either of the brothers so I reckon they'd agree with your statements about vampires

Stephanie J

There has to be cuz I’m still on Stefan’s side right now😂

I really love the flashback episodes too, they’re usually my favourites! Also, you’re right to assume that this is only the beginning of the rift in the brothers’ relationship. There is more to that story.
