This is kind of a random thought - but does anyone else find it kind of crazy that Stefan and Damon had never so much as heard of the Originals in their 150 years of vampirism before they met Elena? Or that they had no idea that werewolves existed for so long?
I’m watching the Originals for the first time and the more that they delve into the fact that EVERYONE has heard of them, the wilder I think it is that Stefan and Damon hadn’t. Not even an urban legend or anything? They never questioned where vampires came from? Nothing?
I can understand that Mystic Falls is a small town, and most of the supernaturals in that town were only just figuring their shit out (Tyler was new to being a werewolf, Bonnie was new to being a witch, etc) but it genuinely shocks me that Damon and Stefan seemingly had no clue about any of it given their age (like the way that Mason and Luka knew about the Sun and Moon curse but Stefan and Damon didn’t). Stefan was friends with Lexi who was at least double his age and he never heard anything about them?
I haven’t rewatched TVD in almost a year so maybe i’m just forgetting some kind of detail. I know Stefan met them in the 20s and had his memories compelled away but that’s still at least 55 years before and 80 years after the fact for him to have never heard of them again? I’d assume that given their relationship to Katherine, they’d be of at least some interest to Klaus or something.
Sage is the one who shaped Damon. We don’t know how long they knew each other but we do know they were close enough for her to have a lifelong impact on him. I don’t believe his name at the very least wouldn’t have been mentioned at some point. Not when they’re both going through similar things.
Damon was friends with sage though who’d had a relationship with Finn. I find it hard to believe she’d never have mentioned him when she was still pining for him.
She lived with the hope they’d find each other again, she wasn’t self loathing about it, she believed in eternity.
They both had lost loves who turned them and then were taken away. She was teaching him that despite that he could still enjoy life as a vampire. It would absolutely be relevant and definitely wouldn’t have the opposite effect.
But yes we are. I choose to believe it’s a plot error and people with such similar stories would have bonded over that.
Finn wasn’t a painful memory for her though? She loved him always and waited for him. She didn’t ignore lost lovers because she never loved anyone else, she never moved on emotionally. She was quite open about that. She was enjoying life while she waited for him.
And that’s my point, I highly doubt she’d have never mentioned it, I’m aware of what happens in the show, I’m saying I don’t think it makes sense that she’d have never mentioned him.
Exactly and so you’d imagine her ex who was the absolute opposite of what she’d become, someone who hated being a vampire would come up in conversation. I don’t believe young naive Damon didn’t ask her a million questions. This wasn’t no caring Damon, he was actually quite similar to Finn at that time.
I dunno, the show runners and cast called her Damon’s version of Lexi. You have to be pretty close for someone to impact your life the way she did Damon’s. It just seems odd to me. You’re right though. Most of the errors are down to the writing and lack of foreshadowing.

No but he was friends with sage who was still pining after Finn so they clearly mixed in the same circles.
