LOL 'It was always Stefan's story' is something people came up with after they realized Delena was endgame to make Stefan seem more relevant coz they were salty af lmao, I like Stefan he was definitely the hero of the episode but realistically the story didn't always revolve around him at every moment of the show, a lot of intrigue was totally separate and had nothing to do with him. What about when he was dating a rando in Savannah was it all about his story still then lmao
@@TheMinarus if you look at the first episode during the introduction and stefan speaking he said this is my story so the vampire diaries is stefan telling his story
The one thing that bothered me is how Bonnie never got her happy ending. It really adds on how Kat Graham said she faced so much racism, it sucks how they treated her and her character
Stefan didn't get his happy ending either. He died and neither did Caroline she lost Stefan and Bonnie went to Paris and she saved the entire group and the whole town. Julie and Kat were friends and so were the girls she was talking about the actor who played Matt cause in all the interviews you can sense they didn't like each other but Kat loved TVD and Nina, Candice, Sarah, Paul and Ian. She and Ian were best friends. She was called Fierce by Julie for her hashtag and she loved playing a badass witch and what about Tyler he lost his girlfriend then he died. Not every character is going to get a happy ending. It wouldn't be a great finale if everyone lived and everyone was happy
@@HDuffLover Actors can't outwardly say they don't like a show their apart of. As for Kat, she's said during TVDs last days that she thought the writing for the show was trash and she was right. This show had so much potential but the writers refused to showcase anything other than the Damon, Stefan and Elena dynamic and anyone they were involved with, which is why it got repetitive and the ratings went down around season 4. And FYI no, Kat Graham and Julie are not good friends or even mutuals on social media. Julie mistreated Kat and Bonnie for 8 years, it's no wonder Kat unfollowed her on twitter when the show ended. Caroline Dries is another name to add to the list of people who mistreated Kat. As for the cast, Kat remained cordial with most of them, I wouldn't say their best friends just coworkers. Ian was the only one Kat seemingly got along with the most and he was the only actor from TVD to call the showrunners out on their mistreatment of Kat. BTW Kat never had a problem with the actor who played Matt (idk his real name) I think you were referring to the actor who played Jeremy.
@@theshadowcircus When Nina Dobrev left the show her and the girls got very emotional so she was besties with Nina and Candice and Julie called her character fierce and she said fierce I like that, she didn't like when Bonnie died several times but each time was different one time she became the anchor to the other, she traded her life for Jeremy's cause he didn't deserve to die and they didn't really die more or less but her and Damon her best buddy went back in time to the 90s, the best era in some sort of other dimension living the same day over where they met Kai so each time is different. She was practically the hero of the show and Season 6, 7 and 8 went way higher in ratings then season 4 in fact Season 7 and 8 both got 100% and this show was in the top 5 shows I read on wiki that TVD was equal to Game of Thrones until GOT plummeted very low in the final two seasons and TVD passed it. People hated Season 4 because of the No Humanity Storyline, fans get angry when Elena's not with anyone and their favorite heroin turns into a villain thats the only reason but I'm not like that, I don't watch the show just for romance. Two of my favorite characters are Katherine and Klaus and his family so of course I'm always going to love season 2 and 3 more but thats just my opinion and I could care less about Delena. I watch the later seasons for action and character development and Bonnie goes through a lot. I wonder if she ever got along with Kevin cause he was more the tough writer but the two people she didn't get along with was the guys who played Matt and Alaric. Her and Zach were shady towards each other in interviews. I love her ending she got go to Paris, exit Mystic Falls and start over and now Caroline's in Europe and Nina Dobrev carried that show with her amazing acting she deserved all the sucess and credit she got. Everything has to be politically correct these days and now shows are boring and fake.....
“Damon...” “Hello brother” Forever my favorite parallel and brings the show full circle. This show wasn’t two brothers fighting over a girl, it was about those brothers and their bond
SPOILER Well, Klaus was under Marcel’s captivity so I doubt that was on his mind. Plus Camille had died not that long ago and so Klaus was probably worried about Hope, Camille, Hayley and his siblings and most likely not Caroline.
bro they treated Enzo and Bonnie so badly. Enzo dies on the last season when him and Bonnie were gonna be happy together and Bonnie loses everybody that she cares for, while her friends don't even care about her hardships. Enzo and Bonnie should have been endgame.

1x01 Stefan: “Im a vampire, and this is my story” Gets a whole new meaning. TVD has 171 episodes, Stefan died at the age of 171. This was Stefans story 😭❤️
I hate how everyone didn't get their happy ending especially Bonnie and Stefan they were always the hero and always sacrificing themselves, they deserved to be happy. Like Stefan died on his wedding day and its not fair how Delena always gets their happy ending and no one else.
That's because TVD isn't very well written. The final episode itself is filled with plot holes. What's even worse is the fact that Nina leaving technically changed the ending for the better. If she didn't leave the show then both Stefan and Damon would have died in this episode and Elena eventually ends up with Matt.
@@CarlosHuiskens I heard a different story. If Nina wouldn’t left this show, it probably ended with Stelena. Because Julie Plec wanted to back this love triangle again, and then ended with Stelena
It always pissed me off that they didn't show Stefan looking out for Caroline "on the other side" and, instead, they just decided to bait Klaroline fans for The Originals. It was low for both sides, really low. Steroline deserved better.
@@mariamlawal4428 yes, but it didn't have to be one or the other. They could have both been there or they could have showed Stefan in another scene.Freaking Matt had both Vicky and Tyler ahah
The funny thing is that Klaroline fans didn 't get anything in the end either . I 've always been infuriated by Klaroline fans . When the show came out , they blew up the entire media space . They hated steroline, they said Stefan didn't love her, that she was unhappy, that no one needed this wedding. They really prayed that Stefan would die . And the creators really showed this stupid letter after Stefan and Caroline promised to love each other forever .... You have shown that Steroline is true love, so then show it to the end. As a result , Caroline went to Klaus , gave him a kiss out of pity and he also died . But by the end of TO 0 questions, it's perfect.
Julie Plec and the other showrunners explained that they thought about doing a picture montage-style flash forward to show viewers Damon and Elena throughout their life together, but they decided against it at the last moment. (Likely because their poor planning, lack of a budget, and down to the wire filming schedule 🍵🐸). But yes, they died as happy senior citizens and had children, and likely grandchildren. They just appear to be young adults in the afterlife, because that's how they were happiest. The reason Damon & Elena seem to separate in Peace was because their Spirits went to find the people they wanted to see the most. In fact, Damon & Elena found each other first, then they found their respective relatives. But it's not like they spend an eternity apart or anything. The showing runners weirdly explained it like this: if they all wanted to hop into a spirit car and drive off to the spirit movie theaters together they can do that anytime.
I honestly feel like for the final episode they should have made it longer, it felt a little rushed and like they wanted to cover a bunch of things quickly. I definitely think it could have been better based off of how great the finales for other seasons were but it wasn’t bad. I wish Enzo lived and we got to see his future with Bonnie and that Stefan hadn’t died bc I don’t get why he had to hold Katherine, they could have staked her like they did before and then toss her in the hellfire. They told us that Bonnie had created her own ‘dimension’ when she yelled for Enzo but then nothing is ever really done with that info. I feel like they could’ve used that fact to bring him back somehow. I am happy about seeing the Salvatore school opened up, Bonnie/Elena/Caroline reunited, Klaus’ letter to Caroline, the delena endgame/them being married, Damon willing to sacrifice his life to save his brother and mystic falls by trying to compel him, and the “hello brother”. Especially with how many bad things happened in the show, all of them deserved to be happy. Thank you Jerbear for the dedication to this show and the constant uploads 🥲
The ending shot of Stefan and Damon was the last thing filmed they wanted to call the last CUT on the last scene of the show and everyone came in with silly string and other thing at the end it was amazing. I saw it in the video " The Vampire Diaries: Last Days As A Vampire"
I get chills watching Bonnie defeat the hellfire, she’s so powerful. If there’s one thing I wish I could change it would be Bonnie getting her ending with Enzo. Seeing Jo watching over the girls was something sweet of them to include. Damon and Elena had been through so much both individually and together so I loved the ending they got. My interpretation on the ending is that Elena and Damon die at different points (I think maybe Elena first) which is why they let go and we see Damon with like an unsure smile, he was also so worried about whether him and Stefan would find peace after everything they had done and if it actually existed. Then we see Elena with her family first and Damon also dies and sees his brother. But anyway the ending is a jump to many years in the future after delena has lived a long life together as they are currently living in the Gilbert house that Damon rebuilt for her with their kids. After the show ended, Kevin Williamson said Damon rebuilt the house for Elena, she became a doctor, and they lived happily. He also said Stefan achieved peace. One thing is that this episode never fails to get tears out of me 😩
Spoiler for anyone who is watching or plans on watching legacies: Yeah, in legacies Alaric says he’s amazed at how they rebuilt the gilbert house and they actually show the house. Elena is also mentioned cooking an old Salvatore recipe for her kids as well as for Josie. Delena have a daughter named Stefanie 🥺
Something you might not have noticed is that the last line when Stefan says "Damon" and Damon goes "Hello brother", that was actually the first thing Damon and Stefan said to each other on screen in 1x1 and it was also the last thing they said to each other on screen. That is a full circle moment and I loved it.
Stefan and Caroline saying 'I will love you forever' will never not break my heart and the last time Caroline saw Stefan was in the same hallway she saw him for the first time
the fact that you're the first youtuber i manage to rewatch the entire show with says a lot about how enjoyable your videos are and how much they uplift my mood. I could never get past s5/6 when watching youtubers watch the show but your videos were different and truly did put a smile on my face so THANK YOU
Stefan will always be the better man. 171 episodes, 171 years of stefans life completed satissfyingly. Though it was his story just wished it was a happy ending. Nonetheless defan hug in the end 😭❤
Watch 1st season of Legacies, even when Kat is not in the show they used her name few times, like helping from the shadows or giving them her blood for prison world and stuff....
I love that Damon was actually going to sacrifice himself for everyone, it really showed how much he developed as a character but it was so fitting and poetic that Stefan literally made Damon into a human since he was the one who too it away, I loved this ending and the fact we got to see that they all found peace! I cant wait for your reaction to the Originals
I know quite a few people didn't like the finale but I actually loved it. It obviously has it's flaws, like Bonnie not getting the happy ending she deserves and Katherine just kind of being there and then getting killed over and over again. Overall though I thought it was a fitting conclusion. so excited for your original reactions. it really has been a journey re-watching all of these episodes with you.
@@Web497 no. I guess I don't get too emotional on a ridiculously hurried finale. So many plot armor. Elena jsut waking up doesn't make any sense at all. So things that don't make sense just to please the fangirls
I have been here since season 1 ..... actually , since your other channel when started reacting to "KLAUS MIKAELSON THE GREAT EVIL" its a great journey. Really looking forward to see the OG reactions ❤ Klaus & Elijah 💫
That full circle of Defan's first scene together and this last scene of the show, with the "Damon" - "Hello, Brother", but with so different tones and everything... As much criticism as there is about the last season and the ending etc. that full circle is perfect.
O my goodness finally was waiting for this episode. This ending drained all emotions out of me. Though it was satisfying to see damon and Stefan meet in end and elena unite with her family. I still hate this show for not giving happy ending for Stefan, Caroline and mainly bonnie. Stefan and bonnie are the two characters that went through the most in this show. They deserved better. Finally thanks for reacting to this show jer. It was one hell of a ride ❤️
Damon's redemption story. Stefan spent decades with the sole purpose of achieving that goal. He did. He also gave back what he stole from Damon...his human life. In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, Stefan cared more for Damon than he ever did romantic interests (Elena, Katherine, Rebekah, and even Caroline) That was apparent to me the entire series.
This finale gets me everytime ugh I can't help but cry. Also yes its supposed to mean that after Damon and Elena live long human lives together they eventually would die and find peace. I still wished Stefan would've gotten a happy ending and I feel sad that Caroline had to lose her husband so fast :(
When Jer started crying I was already crying, but I just wanted to stop because I could not see anything, but i couldn’t, and that made me cry more 😭😭😂😂
i haven’t even started watching the actual reaction yet and i have not yet commented on any of your reactions to tvd since the beginning or even before that as i’ve seen most of your reactions to the tributes/edits and all. but seriously jer this has been so insanely amazing watching all your reactions from the start and the fact that i got to re-watch everything with you and hear your opinions, theories, and just thoughts in general. its actually over...that’s wild. im glad to have found you through tvd in general because you’re incredibly funny and just really cool. i love this show and all the characters that made it what it is.
Oh, Jer 🥺 this show really got you, huh? yeah I can relate...you’ll be fine and TO will cheer you up 🤷♀️💝 the ending of this show literally caused me to have a full blown breakdown when I watched it for the first time 😫 there was so much bs in this 8 seasons, but I would go through all of it again 💜 it’s been a hell of a ride 👏👏
@3:33 Nina had a wig on cause her hair was cut short after she left tvd and like if it was short when she was here it will be like damn Elena be having hair cuts over here 😂😂😂
That wig was a tragedy, like wtf 😷 You can totally tell it’s a wig, at one point you actually see her real hair coming through. And it gave Nina this weird hairline along her forehead, whyyyy didn’t they just use extentions??? 😩😩
This ending was something that I wasnt prepared for 😥 Its been a glorious ride watching you react. Thank you for the best reactions anyone could ask for! ❤
I love that we see the wedding ring on Elena’s finger and that delena lived a long and healthy life before finding peace and seeing all the loved ones they had lost. Just bc a lot of sad things happened in the finale, doesn’t mean they didn’t deserve to be happy together. Truthfully, all these characters had their painful moments and hard times. The show only let characters be happy briefly so ideally everyone would’ve lived in the end but i guess it wouldn’t be tvd if everything just went perfectly. Bonnie deserved the world and idc what anyone says, for me bc she’s very powerful she went traveling and found some witches who told her a way to bring Enzo back from the world she had created, now they are living their best lives and she got her happy ending with him 😌😭 I wish they just let Nina have short hair or that they used extensions instead of the wig they chose but nevertheless it was nice to have her back.
i was crying right along with you as if i haven’t seen this a thousand times .. each time it just hits 💔 i can’t believe it’s over r.i.p my baby stefan 💔 i can’t believe he’s gone .. yet again a hero the parallels between this episode & 1x01 is amazing yet sad to see poor damon & caroline .. ugh 🥲
There are so many dead character's I miss from tVD... Jenna, Anna, Liz, Rose, Lexi, Sheila, Nora & Mary Louise, Jo, Carol, Qetsiyah, Andie Starr, Liv & Luke, Luka, Enzo, Bill Forbes... Even John & Isobel. (And yes I've only included character's who stayed dead (mostly). RIP tVD character's.
this whole show was really stefans story, from the very beginning💜and stefan and damon’s relationship throughout the entire show was amazing. i might rewatch all your reactions again💀
I'm still in shock that I've just watched your last tvd reaction. It's so emotional. I remember trying to calculate when this last episode would be here, back in january... and now it actually is... Thanks for this journey. 🙏♡
I remember being 17 and balling my eyes out for this finale lol I practically grew up with this show and to see it end was just a wave of emotions I couldn’t process. I remember being in my robe going to the living and crying to my mom about it and she was just looking at me so crazy 😂
The vampire Diaries is about Love, The Original's is about family, and Legacies is about friendship. Question for JerBear: Do you like Elena???... I personally like her because I can sympathize with her character... Some people say she was selfish or whiny but it's shown time and time again that she always tries to protect the one's she loves, she also suffered from survivors guilt and probably depression, she's consistently losing family and friends and just has a hard time dealing with her emotions and the world in general due to her loses. Besides she needs flaws that's what fleshes her out and makes her a round and believable character, so it's good that she's not little miss perfect. For example Caroline has OCD so does Elijah I think, Damon has ptsd from war and lashes out usually resulting in someone's death, Stephan is a martyr along with Elena, Klaus suffers from paranoia, Rebecca abandonment issues, etc the list goes on, every character has flaws...
This is my 7th time I've watched the finale and my 7th time i cry... I'm glad you were emotional...! And I'm so happy that you liked and enjoyed the show because it's truly beautiful...
I have been watching since season 1 episode 1 and this has been part of my everyday. Each night I waited for you to upload an episode. I am very thankful. Thanks Jer, thanks
I thought I wouldn't cry because it's not the real episode, it's a reaction. But that voicemail of Caroline & all the scenes after that had me bawling just like I watched this episode for the first time.
Apparently, if Nina hadn't left, the show would have been way longer and Elena would have gone back to stefan and Damon and Bonnie would have been a thing. The original ending was both brothers dying for Elena and she would have married Matt.
Julie plec said she was happy that it didnt end with elena in the last couple seasons because it reminded her that the story was a love story about 2 brothers.
That is not true! Julie NEVER wanted Bonnie and Damon to be more than friend she has mentioned that several times! Also Delena had become too popular by then being the only couple to get 2 PCA awards and winning various Polls ! So We’ll never know for sure! Julie said if Nina didn’t leave then they would have re introduced the love triangle but kevin always liked stelena but then again he stopped writing after 3x1 and came back for season 8! The writers also wanted to end the show with Elena being with Matt initially and Damon being-way more evil but all of that didn’t happen as they continued and decided to change, so we’ll never know for Sure how show would have progressed otherwise!
most of this realy isn't true it was just julie pandering to stelena and bamon shippers because ~anything could have happened~ if nina didn't leave the show the only thing that they knew they actually wanted was a brother or both brothers dying
August 2nd let’s goooo!!!!!!!!!!! I bawled my eyes out at this finale. I remembering promising myself to not get that attached to the originals no matter how much I love them, but then the finale for TO came and well…water works all over again lmao…THIS HAS BEEN A JOURNEY 😭❤️

And the creators really showed this stupid letter after Stefan and Caroline promised to love each other forever .... You have shown that Steroline is true love, so then show it to the end. As a result , Caroline went to Klaus , gave him a kiss out of pity and he also died . But by the end of TO 0 questions, it's perfect.
And here the Queen goes... saving everyone else AGAIN.. Mrs Bonnie Bennett.
Lol she got married?
@@specialagentweener1073 idk what show you watched… bonnie didn’t get married
@@mrspetty4313 then its definitely not Mrs Bonnie Bennett... lol
@@specialagentweener1073 tf you mean? Her name is Bonnie Bennett? Ain’t nobody was talking about “marriage”
@@mrspetty4313 haha. I figured given your youtube name that you were aware that Mrs only applies to married women. Until then it's just Ms.
Julie Plec and the other showrunners explained that they thought about doing a picture montage-style flash forward to show viewers Damon and Elena throughout their life together, but they decided against it at the last moment. (Likely because their poor planning, lack of a budget, and down to the wire filming schedule 🍵🐸). But yes, they died as happy senior citizens and had children, and likely grandchildren. They just appear to be young adults in the afterlife, because that's how they were happiest. The reason Damon & Elena seem to separate in Peace was because their Spirits went to find the people they wanted to see the most. In fact, Damon & Elena found each other first, then they found their respective relatives. But it's not like they spend an eternity apart or anything. The showing runners weirdly explained it like this: if they all wanted to hop into a spirit car and drive off to the spirit movie theaters together they can do that anytime.
Yeah I always thought they could all be together with whoever they want to be with in peace. They aren't separated again.
I honestly feel like for the final episode they should have made it longer, it felt a little rushed and like they wanted to cover a bunch of things quickly. I definitely think it could have been better based off of how great the finales for other seasons were but it wasn’t bad. I wish Enzo lived and we got to see his future with Bonnie and that Stefan hadn’t died bc I don’t get why he had to hold Katherine, they could have staked her like they did before and then toss her in the hellfire. They told us that Bonnie had created her own ‘dimension’ when she yelled for Enzo but then nothing is ever really done with that info. I feel like they could’ve used that fact to bring him back somehow. I am happy about seeing the Salvatore school opened up, Bonnie/Elena/Caroline reunited, Klaus’ letter to Caroline, the delena endgame/them being married, Damon willing to sacrifice his life to save his brother and mystic falls by trying to compel him, and the “hello brother”. Especially with how many bad things happened in the show, all of them deserved to be happy. Thank you Jerbear for the dedication to this show and the constant uploads 🥲
couldnt have said it better
im not ready for this to be over, woah just realised its been 6 months???
edit: that was emotional as hell
SUPER emotional T-T
The ending shot of Stefan and Damon was the last thing filmed they wanted to call the last CUT on the last scene of the show and everyone came in with silly string and other thing at the end it was amazing. I saw it in the video " The Vampire Diaries: Last Days As A Vampire"
He should watch that too😍
@@melozn-u1s yeah he should it was very emotional
I have watched the vampire diaries about 20 times and the end still gets me 🥲
I'm here bawling
20:20 even when you’re crying your hate for Tyler shines through 😂
your reaction to tyler and vicki finding peace together was so funny
I get chills watching Bonnie defeat the hellfire, she’s so powerful. If there’s one thing I wish I could change it would be Bonnie getting her ending with Enzo. Seeing Jo watching over the girls was something sweet of them to include. Damon and Elena had been through so much both individually and together so I loved the ending they got. My interpretation on the ending is that Elena and Damon die at different points (I think maybe Elena first) which is why they let go and we see Damon with like an unsure smile, he was also so worried about whether him and Stefan would find peace after everything they had done and if it actually existed. Then we see Elena with her family first and Damon also dies and sees his brother. But anyway the ending is a jump to many years in the future after delena has lived a long life together as they are currently living in the Gilbert house that Damon rebuilt for her with their kids. After the show ended, Kevin Williamson said Damon rebuilt the house for Elena, she became a doctor, and they lived happily. He also said Stefan achieved peace. One thing is that this episode never fails to get tears out of me 😩
Spoiler for anyone who is watching or plans on watching legacies:
Yeah, in legacies Alaric says he’s amazed at how they rebuilt the gilbert house and they actually show the house. Elena is also mentioned cooking an old Salvatore recipe for her kids as well as for Josie. Delena have a daughter named Stefanie 🥺
@@_Mia98 also jo mentions she remembers watching them when she was dead.
That's it y'all! I hope to see you all in The Originals!!!
I love how your tears go away once you see Tyler lmao 😂😂
just wait until he starts season 1 the originals LMAO
Something you might not have noticed is that the last line when Stefan says "Damon" and Damon goes "Hello brother", that was actually the first thing Damon and Stefan said to each other on screen in 1x1 and it was also the last thing they said to each other on screen. That is a full circle moment and I loved it.
Stefan and Caroline saying 'I will love you forever' will never not break my heart and the last time Caroline saw Stefan was in the same hallway she saw him for the first time
the fact that you're the first youtuber i manage to rewatch the entire show with says a lot about how enjoyable your videos are and how much they uplift my mood. I could never get past s5/6 when watching youtubers watch the show but your videos were different and truly did put a smile on my face so THANK YOU
I love it! Thank YOU
It’s been such a journey, I wasn’t very happy with the finale in my opinion but I can’t wait for Jer to start the originals
Stefan admitting Damon is the better man makes him the better man and brother.
He's the best.
i love him so much 😩
It was always about Stefan and Damon. The true love in this show❤
Stefan will always be the better man. 171 episodes, 171 years of stefans life completed satissfyingly. Though it was his story just wished it was a happy ending. Nonetheless defan hug in the end 😭❤
Stefan's the best!
i cannot believe this is already the last episode. your reaction to season one feels like it was yesterday that's scary-
FYI.... Bonnie left Mystic Falls to never be heard from again and to never be used by these people.😂👏🏾👏🏻
Watch 1st season of Legacies, even when Kat is not in the show they used her name few times, like helping from the shadows or giving them her blood for prison world and stuff....
I love that Damon was actually going to sacrifice himself for everyone, it really showed how much he developed as a character but it was so fitting and poetic that Stefan literally made Damon into a human since he was the one who too it away, I loved this ending and the fact we got to see that they all found peace! I cant wait for your reaction to the Originals
I know quite a few people didn't like the finale but I actually loved it. It obviously has it's flaws, like Bonnie not getting the happy ending she deserves and Katherine just kind of being there and then getting killed over and over again. Overall though I thought it was a fitting conclusion.
so excited for your original reactions. it really has been a journey re-watching all of these episodes with you.
Same, I really loved the finale
JULIE PLEC WOKE UP AND CHOOSE TO DESTROY EVERY TVD FAN WITH THAT EPISODE. I’ll trust no one who didn’t shed a tear during this🧍🏻♀️
I was laughing. It was absolutely stupid
@@waterproof4403 no it was amazing
@@waterproof4403 Still you are here..😂😂😂
@@Web497 no. I guess I don't get too emotional on a ridiculously hurried finale. So many plot armor. Elena jsut waking up doesn't make any sense at all. So things that don't make sense just to please the fangirls
@@ΓιαννηςΓεωργοπουλος-ξ3β the originals ended waaay better for a supernatural show. Not even comparable
I have been here since season 1 ..... actually , since your other channel when started reacting to "KLAUS MIKAELSON THE GREAT EVIL" its a great journey. Really looking forward to see the OG reactions
❤
Klaus & Elijah 💫
You're the GOAT
Same here!! The whole journey was epic!
Fun fact if you didn’t know The song playing while Elena was talking at the end was the song played at the end of episode 1x1
THE GREATEST JOURNEY
Jo and Liz just added to my mental breakdown in that moment, I couldn’t breathe. Then the last scene came up and I died. Bye me😌
bestie i already know i’m gonna cry, i have tissues
Stefan was always my fave character! He was always the selfless one ❤️
im proud to say I've been here since the beginning 😭😎🤎🙌
sameee!! :)
Same
We were all feeling epic watching your reactions to this show..Thank you so much, J ❤
That full circle of Defan's first scene together and this last scene of the show, with the "Damon" - "Hello, Brother", but with so different tones and everything...
As much criticism as there is about the last season and the ending etc. that full circle is perfect.
No other character death gets me as sad as Stefan's and no other show gets me as emotional. Still my all time favorite show
Why does it feel like its the end of a decade, i have cried with you lol thx for reacting to TVD!!!❤❤❤
ITS BEEN A GLORIOUS RIDE JER 😉
truly has been!
I AM NOT READY FOR THIS EPISODE
O my goodness finally was waiting for this episode. This ending drained all emotions out of me. Though it was satisfying to see damon and Stefan meet in end and elena unite with her family. I still hate this show for not giving happy ending for Stefan, Caroline and mainly bonnie. Stefan and bonnie are the two characters that went through the most in this show. They deserved better. Finally thanks for reacting to this show jer. It was one hell of a ride ❤️
you really got me crying all over again. this one is a real tear jerker. what a way to wrap up a series. “Hello, brother” 😭💔
Damon's redemption story. Stefan spent decades with the sole purpose of achieving that goal. He did. He also gave back what he stole from Damon...his human life. In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, Stefan cared more for Damon than he ever did romantic interests (Elena, Katherine, Rebekah, and even Caroline) That was apparent to me the entire series.
This finale gets me everytime ugh I can't help but cry. Also yes its supposed to mean that after Damon and Elena live long human lives together they eventually would die and find peace. I still wished Stefan would've gotten a happy ending and I feel sad that Caroline had to lose her husband so fast :(
When Jer started crying I was already crying, but I just wanted to stop because I could not see anything, but i couldn’t, and that made me cry more 😭😭😂😂
so many tears lol
Ahhhhhhh HE CRIED WHATTTTTT I HAVENT WATCHED UR VIDEOS IN A MINUTE BUT IM PLEASANTLY SURPRISEDDDDD
i haven’t even started watching the actual reaction yet and i have not yet commented on any of your reactions to tvd since the beginning or even before that as i’ve seen most of your reactions to the tributes/edits and all. but seriously jer this has been so insanely amazing watching all your reactions from the start and the fact that i got to re-watch everything with you and hear your opinions, theories, and just thoughts in general. its actually over...that’s wild. im glad to have found you through tvd in general because you’re incredibly funny and just really cool. i love this show and all the characters that made it what it is.
Caroline’s voicemail always destroyed me 😭😭😭
Years later and it still destroys me
I never cried as much in my LIFE 😭😭😭
Oh, Jer 🥺 this show really got you, huh?
yeah I can relate...you’ll be fine and TO will cheer you up 🤷♀️💝
the ending of this show literally caused me to have a full blown breakdown when I watched it for the first time 😫
there was so much bs in this 8 seasons, but I would go through all of it again 💜
it’s been a hell of a ride 👏👏
Shit broke me lol
@@JerBearReacts TO will break you again man
@3:33 Nina had a wig on cause her hair was cut short after she left tvd and like if it was short when she was here it will be like damn Elena be having hair cuts over here 😂😂😂
That wig was a tragedy, like wtf 😷 You can totally tell it’s a wig, at one point you actually see her real hair coming through. And it gave Nina this weird hairline along her forehead, whyyyy didn’t they just use extentions??? 😩😩
@@tvl9193it was the eyebrows as well she used to have thinner brows and the thick brows made her look DIFFERENT
This ending was something that I wasnt prepared for 😥 Its been a glorious ride watching you react. Thank you for the best reactions anyone could ask for! ❤
The First Stefan and Elena moment so many Season 1 throwbacks and parallels
i didn’t like a lot of choices in this season finale, it felt too rushed…but i get emotional everytime bc i love the show and the characters
It all felt super rushed, but I did enjoy this actual ending
I love that we see the wedding ring on Elena’s finger and that delena lived a long and healthy life before finding peace and seeing all the loved ones they had lost. Just bc a lot of sad things happened in the finale, doesn’t mean they didn’t deserve to be happy together. Truthfully, all these characters had their painful moments and hard times. The show only let characters be happy briefly so ideally everyone would’ve lived in the end but i guess it wouldn’t be tvd if everything just went perfectly. Bonnie deserved the world and idc what anyone says, for me bc she’s very powerful she went traveling and found some witches who told her a way to bring Enzo back from the world she had created, now they are living their best lives and she got her happy ending with him 😌😭
I wish they just let Nina have short hair or that they used extensions instead of the wig they chose but nevertheless it was nice to have her back.
BEEN HERE SINCE SEASON 1 EP 1
Legend!!
i was crying right along with you as if i haven’t seen this a thousand times .. each time it just hits 💔
i can’t believe it’s over
r.i.p my baby stefan 💔 i can’t believe he’s gone .. yet again a hero
the parallels between this episode & 1x01 is amazing yet sad to see
poor damon & caroline .. ugh 🥲
There are so many dead character's I miss from tVD... Jenna, Anna, Liz, Rose, Lexi, Sheila, Nora & Mary Louise, Jo, Carol, Qetsiyah, Andie Starr, Liv & Luke, Luka, Enzo, Bill Forbes... Even John & Isobel. (And yes I've only included character's who stayed dead (mostly). RIP tVD character's.
And here we have my number one spot from my top 10 saddest tvd episodes. It's just so easy to cry watching it 🥺
I cry every single time I watch this episode
Amazing journey with u bro quickest 7 months of my life every time I watch this episode I cry lol. Can’t wait to see what you watch next, much love ❤️
I swear, like where did time go? lol
this whole show was really stefans story, from the very beginning💜and stefan and damon’s relationship throughout the entire show was amazing. i might rewatch all your reactions again💀
It’s that immediate mood change when he saw Tyler that killed me😂
I'm still in shock that I've just watched your last tvd reaction. It's so emotional. I remember trying to calculate when this last episode would be here, back in january... and now it actually is...
Thanks for this journey. 🙏♡
I remember being 17 and balling my eyes out for this finale lol I practically grew up with this show and to see it end was just a wave of emotions I couldn’t process. I remember being in my robe going to the living and crying to my mom about it and she was just looking at me so crazy 😂
The vampire Diaries is about Love, The Original's is about family, and Legacies is about friendship.
Question for JerBear: Do you like Elena???...
I personally like her because I can sympathize with her character... Some people say she was selfish or whiny but it's shown time and time again that she always tries to protect the one's she loves, she also suffered from survivors guilt and probably depression, she's consistently losing family and friends and just has a hard time dealing with her emotions and the world in general due to her loses. Besides she needs flaws that's what fleshes her out and makes her a round and believable character, so it's good that she's not little miss perfect. For example Caroline has OCD so does Elijah I think, Damon has ptsd from war and lashes out usually resulting in someone's death, Stephan is a martyr along with Elena, Klaus suffers from paranoia, Rebecca abandonment issues, etc the list goes on, every character has flaws...
TVD is also about friendship and family. But more love, yes.
This is my 7th time I've watched the finale and my 7th time i cry... I'm glad you were emotional...! And I'm so happy that you liked and enjoyed the show because it's truly beautiful...
Omg I teared up man it’s been so fun to watch this show with you 😭 I can’t wait for more
Thank you very much Jeremy for watching the vampire diaries, it was fun re watching it with you.... Can't wait for the originals and then legacies.
I have been watching since season 1 episode 1 and this has been part of my everyday. Each night I waited for you to upload an episode. I am very thankful. Thanks Jer, thanks
Thank you Jer
@@patricktaylor9878 it’s been a hell of a ride, but we were feeling epic
It’s been a glory ride, now it’s time for The Originals aka Jer falling in love with Hayley for 5 seasons straight 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I cried for this finale a lot..... but "The Originals" ending fucking destroyed me.... can't wait to see your reaction on that !!
Yess the originals next, you’re going to love it 🥳
I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT THE THUMBNAIL GOT ME TEARING UP😭
Edit: JEREMY YOU GOT ME CRYING FOR THE 4TH TIME RE WATCHING THIS SHOW🙃
Look at us, crying together
@@JerBearReacts #emo😔
I’m literally crying all over again right now like her why are you Gotta do us like this 🥺
LAST EPISODE!! I am going to cry with you😭😭
lets cry together!
I thought I wouldn't cry because it's not the real episode, it's a reaction. But that voicemail of Caroline & all the scenes after that had me bawling just like I watched this episode for the first time.
Damn Jer, you crying has got me crying😭
we just crying together
i started watching u when u were at season 2 this was such a journey
Great reactions to this series! I was tearing up with you 😅
*goes straight to the originals reaction*
Your reaction was literally so precious I cant
Apparently, if Nina hadn't left, the show would have been way longer and Elena would have gone back to stefan and Damon and Bonnie would have been a thing. The original ending was both brothers dying for Elena and she would have married Matt.
I still find it mad that this was the original plan, but I’m slightly happy with how it was
@@dylanb5339 agree, I prefer how it actually ended
Julie plec said she was happy that it didnt end with elena in the last couple seasons because it reminded her that the story was a love story about 2 brothers.
That is not true! Julie NEVER wanted Bonnie and Damon to be more than friend she has mentioned that several times! Also Delena had become too popular by then being the only couple to get 2 PCA awards and winning various Polls ! So We’ll never know for sure! Julie said if Nina didn’t leave then they would have re introduced the love triangle but kevin always liked stelena but then again he stopped writing after 3x1 and came back for season 8! The writers also wanted to end the show with Elena being with Matt initially and Damon being-way more evil but all of that didn’t happen as they continued and decided to change, so we’ll never know for Sure how show would have progressed otherwise!
most of this realy isn't true it was just julie pandering to stelena and bamon shippers because ~anything could have happened~ if nina didn't leave the show
the only thing that they knew they actually wanted was a brother or both brothers dying
this has been a beautiful ride
BEAUTIFUL Ride
August 2nd let’s goooo!!!!!!!!!!! I bawled my eyes out at this finale. I remembering promising myself to not get that attached to the originals no matter how much I love them, but then the finale for TO came and well…water works all over again lmao…THIS HAS BEEN A JOURNEY 😭❤️
Carolines phone call to Stefan makes me cry so damn hard every fricking time
I'm sobbing sooo much... Ur a great reactor this is my favorite show thanks for this epic ride.. Waiting fr originals
Stefan 😭😭💔❤❤ "I was feeling epic" this season always gets me😭😭
When Lexi said “I was feeling Epic!” To Stefan after talking to Elena on his birthday!
