• Vampire Diaries Fan-Made Poster Reveals Katherine Playing Puppeteer (PHOTO) •
The Vampire Diariesfandom is one of the most creative and
passionate fan bases on the Internet. Don’t believe us?
Check
out this beautiful fan-made promo poster that caught the eye
of TVD executive producer Julie Plec herself.
“Wow,” Julie tweetedalong with the poster in question. And
we’re inclined to agree. The fan-made poster isamazing, both
visually and thematically. It features a larger-than-life
Katherine using a limp Elena as a marionette. Katherine’s
hands are bloody from where the marionette strings have
dug into her skin (and, presumably, from the blood she has
drawn from others), and Elena looks ready to give up. Not
only is the poster aesthetically elegant, it captures a thematic
truth of Season 5 TVD,and, arguably, all of TVD, so well.
Right now Katherine is literally using Elena’s body as a
puppet as she pretends to be the teenage vampire.
In a larger sense of the series, Katherine has been playing
Elena and all of her loved ones since Season 1. Heck, she has
been playing Stefan and Damon since 1864. She is a master
puppeteer, and she plays the role well. Though not without
bloodshed
— both to others and to herself. It is this former, more
personal cost that intrigues us most and has made for some
of the best TVD storylines, in our opinion. Though Katherine
may often get what she wants in the short term, she never
seems to truly find peace and joy in the long-term. She tries
to cut corners by manipulating people into loving her, but it
will never be enough. Because the puppet strings are always
eventually revealed, and then cut, and she is left with no one
left to play with… until her next dastardly scheme, at least!
Well done, TVD fandom. This poster is perfect.
