like Anna, I love Anna. she's so cool. and her mother, pearl?? AWESOME. but can I appreciate their full bamf-ery knowing that they're just gonna be swept away and promptly forgotten about?? NO

also I'm still really irritated with how Caroline is being treated??? like each episode she's trying her best and Matt is being awkward and hung up on Elena. and Kelly (Matt's mom) is being so unnecessarily rude???

also where the fuck is Bonnie??? like I know her grandma died, but a funeral doesn't take several weeks, which is how much time I think has passed??
