*finishes season three* At long last! The throat-grab picspam.

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries (TV)
Pairings: Multi – details behind the cut
Rating/contents: PG/PG-13 for a mix of action-oriented/violent, erotic and/or nonconsensual images of hands on throats, headlocks, and hands pressed to mouths. A bloody pair of fangs or two.
Spoilers: I think only for seeing which characters interact with which, and sometimes an unexpected one is stronger? Screenshots taken from seasons two and three.
A/N: I don't remember where the tipping point was for me exactly, but once you notice that characters on this show get grabbed by the throat pretty often, you can't unsee it. I swear, we hit upwards of three throat-grabs per episode at the height of season two. So here you have it, a picspam conveying some of the ridiculousness/glory. For the "breathplay" square on my Bingo card.


Pairings: Alaric/Elena, Alaric/Rebecca, Alaric/student, Caroline/Mason, Damon/Alaric, Damon/Andie, Damon/boy warlock, Damon/Caroline, Damon/Elena, Damon/Elijah, Damon/Jeremy, Damon/Katherine, Damon/Rebecca, Damon/Rose, Damon/Sage, Damon/Stefan, Isabel/Katherine, Katherine/Bonnie, Katherine/Klaus, Katherine/Stefan, Klaus/Caroline, Klaus/Damon, Klaus/Elena, Klaus/girl, Klaus/Jamie, Klaus/Stefan, Klaus/Tyler, Mason/Elena, Sherriff Forbes/Elena, Stefan/Alaric, Stefan/Elena, Stefan/Tyler, Tomb ghost/Caroline, Tyler/Jeremy, Warlock/Bonnie

































































































































































































































































         

         

         

         

         

         

         

 


(Sorry for the stupid watermarks on some of those.)

Anyone's free to use or transform these if they're interested. Credit would be great if you do.

Sometimes I get sort of silly and occasionally like this show less (I am sometimes crazy) but then someone does something like this AND HOW COULD SOMEONE NOW LOVE THIS SHOW?

3 throat grabs per episode, you say? *applause* :D

Also, this seems like a lot of work. It is awesome.

Hee. So glad you found and enjoyed these.

It was a labor of love to put together, for sure. :) Capping as I watched helped. I don't know that I'd have the patience to go back and try to find all those moments again otherwise.

but then someone does something like this AND HOW COULD SOMEONE NOT LOVE THIS SHOW?

And this doesn't even count all the "Let's chain Damon or Stefan to a chair!" scenes...!

Thanks! I am quite fond of it too and wish more of my LJ friends were into it.

It's the same for me. I have some tVD fans on my flist, but basically they are into Supernatural, which is my first show.

Btw is the one in your icon Neil from Deads Poet Society?

'Tis! A lot of my flist and I started in House fandom, often as Wilson/Robert Sean Leonard fans.

You posted this just before VVC, so I missed it - Thank God bironic you did a end of year round-up, otherwise this gloriousness would have passed me by completely!

And how glorious it is! They clearly are perfecting the Vampire Diaries One-Handed Throat Grab. Where us mere mortals need at least two hands to pull of a convincing strangulation, they manage to pin people to the wall a few inches above ground with one hand. Now THAT's a skill. Gotta love the show that is so unappologetically ridiculous...

Agree! Was also pleased to discover that it took less than five minutes for another throat-grab to happen in this season's premiere, even if the general rate has fallen.
