Nikastrong had these pics below, but I don't know where they are from . . . most of the people at MV with Dobwell turned their accounts private for the week, but perhaps it comes from one of those




That's cute.
From the few instas that *aren't* private, this seems like a very ordinary not-very-glam 'friends and family' gang of folks . . . so I will give Dobwell points for not spending their vaca with the kind of people isadora dismissed as douchebags last year. Very, very different from Nina's Adventures On The Coke Boat last summer. And I *did* say it would be refreshing to see Nina be more grounded this summer and less flighty, so that has happened, I s'pose.
Everything I asked for in 2014 has come true in 2015!!
I AM SO HAPPY.

Okay, now moving on to what set fandom on fire last night . . . JULI PLEC.
Julie must have taken too much ambien and lost her damn mind, because she decided to do a Q/A last night. It was absolutely the worst time to pick! Tensions are high right now due to crazed 'round the clock voting on the MTV Fandom Awards. Bamon was nomm'ed, D/E wasn't . . . so the Bamon folks aligned with the other TVD ships against the D/Ers, who have aligned with Olicity fandom to vote for Olicity (and therefore *against* Bamon). There's been dozens of accusations of cheating and bot voting against both sides, and it's gotten nasty. Currently, the DErs have helped Olicity gain nearly a MILLION votes and a super high lead over Bamon, and they are still going hardcore ('until all Bamon shippers deactivate and/or kill themselves' according to Twitter).
Julie didn't seem to know any of this was going on, because she waded right into it . . .
@julieplec Olicity is the only ship there that deserves that award though....

@LulyMonster maybe the fix is in for olicity. ;-)
Menna - Delicity @MennaEZahra 12h12 hours ago
@julieplec @LulyMonster what does that even mean, Julie. Cause my mind is jumping to the worst conclusions and it's not pretty.
julieplec @julieplec 12h12 hours ago
@LulyMonster @MennaEZahra sorry guys I was joking. Didn't mean to freak you out.
Menna - Delicity @MennaEZahra 12h12 hours ago
@julieplec @LulyMonster i still dont know what you meant by it. I guess we have a different sense of humor.
THEY WERE NOT AMUSED JULIE.
Julie wasn't super happy about the D/E Olicity alliance *against* a TVD ship, so fans schooled her on intersectionality in fandom. (But yeah . . . there wouldn't be anywhere near this kind of fervent support for Olicity if it wasn't also a way to shove Bamon shippers into the dirt).
Let's show @julieplec how it's done. Vote for #Olicity! http://mtv.tumblr.com/post/122443593...-to-vote#notes … pic.twitter.com/aGoswJoQRL

@khyleesi_ I wish I could applaud you for your maturity in this moment. Be a fan of the show or not, but don't sabotage it if you are.
D&E Salvatore. @delenasovereign 12h12 hours ago
@julieplec @khyleesi_ It's not sabotage it's working hard for a couple that's actually deserving of such a high title.
julieplec @julieplec 12h12 hours ago
@delenasovereign @khyleesi_ Okay so contrary to your first tweet, it's not spite voting. Okay then, good luck.
(Newsflash! It's totally spite voting!)
Other highlights from Julie's ill advised chat:
@julieplec then make it endgame
julieplec @julieplec 14h
@KlarolineOnly I don't believe in endgame
Accio Klaroline @OD_on_KC 14h
That's like me saying I don't believe in mattresses
Nothings Fixed @julieplec We've non-stop vote for Olicity. Lack of sleep& food is why we're in the lead. You're such a thirsty, vile person.
julieplec @julieplec 26m26 minutes ago
@EbruEvermore dude, what did I do to you?
nina. @ninaIoochs 44m44 minutes ago
@julieplec if your show aka tv d is all about brothers and has always been. Then STOP FAN BATING WITH SHIPS.
julieplec @julieplec 27m27 minutes ago
@ninaIoochs I DON'T
brandy. @greywithsloan 37m37 minutes ago
@julieplec the tvd facebook page lost 2 million likes how does that make you feel
julieplec @julieplec 20m20 minutes ago
@greywithsloan how does it make you feel to point that out to me?


Quite a bit of that. And also the Klaroliners came at her:


Ain't nobody showing Julie no love.
This DEr actually DM'ed a longass rant straight to Julie:
I just wrote Julie Plec a novel







No response from Julie, unsurprisingly. But she did go on a blocking/unfollowing spree. Someone commented that Julie has now unfollowed every D/E account she used to follow (and many Karoliners).
And others . . .

On the other hand, DErs loved this:
@julieplec Will Nina be back for season finale? You said you'd answer the question as soon as the season finale aired.
julieplec @julieplec 14h
@somerhalderrrrr she told me she would. We'll see when we get there.
And they responded by sending her this contradicting gifset:

Which eventually led to this exchange, notable for the reaction it provoked:
@julieplec DONT RUIN Damon’s character by letting Ian control the story/writing. LIKE worst choice ever if you let him ruin Damon s7?
julieplec @julieplec 14h
@DEEKOTP no one controls anything. They can have opinions and voice them, and we can ignore or agree. But mostly everyone's fine.
9/10/2009-5/14/2015 @DEEKOTP 14h
@julieplec Kinda reassuring so TY . But he goes to CONS & talks about everything that goes against the show/writing it’s a turn off. :/
julieplec @julieplec 14h
@DEEKOTP ugh, really? That's annoying.


JULIE JUST SAID THAT IAN'S BLATHER AT CONS IS ANNOYING.
Twitterland responded accordingly, both pro and con:
Ian: it...-but I- it was MY day
julie called ian annoying? finally she said something that's actually true
@julieplec You know better Julie, you know him. SO please respect your own show because this show is Ian, without him is NOTHING.
So Julie always rants about crying herself to sleep because of Twitter hate yet she's encouraging Ian hate.
wake me up when ian leaves tvd and drops julie plague and her ratings in the gutter
Ian goes to basically everyone con even during his freaking honeymoon yet the only word you can say about him is "annoying" @julieplec 🏼
Nice to call an actor annoying who is literally the only one from the cast who still gives a shit about your show. @julieplec
I might not like Julie Plec but she didn't lie when she called him annoying
U shade the cast that made your own show a success.U disrespect your own Fandom. You my friend don't deserve shit @julieplec
I've lost all respect for Julie Plec after this
Julie action only convince me TVD should ended this season. If I was Ian I would be pissed.
Did Julie lowkey call Ian annoying I'm beyond dead
julie shading ian oh my god
I could not be more appalled and i hope Ian gives Julie a huge clap back at.comic con
Last thing I expected was Julie believing shit from a DE r. Without Ian she wouldn't have her precious show rn.
I don't give a shit about delena. I'm just fucking pissed at Julie's behaviour towards Ian.
I have lost all my respect for u. U don't deserve any sympathy. U act like a victim and shade your own cast. Go fuck yourself @julieplec
@NikkiReed_I_Am can you please teach @julieplec how to have manners
julie kinda insulted ian and was being ungrateful af
@julieplec This is a new low. Shading the one man who promotes this show because fans are unhappy about the way YOU are writing it.
@julieplec you have no right talking abt being nice when you're ragging on your lead actor
I thought I couldn't dislike JP even more.. I was wrong

Ian deserves so much better @julieplec
fuck you julie plec go to hell
@julieplec You know better Julie, you know him. SO please respect your own show because this show is Ian, without him is NOTHING.
Ian will never come back to ig and Twitter now. Thanks @julieplec
Julie Plec should be scolded for that remark truly. It was uncalled for and a complete turnoff to anyone who actually likes Ian and tvd
omg somerslaughters are attacking julie for calling ian's behavior annoying. BUT WHERE IS THE LIE? He's acting like a piece of shit
@julieplec Try one season without Ian and you will see. You will fall hard darling. He's too good for you.
@julieplec you know that if this annoying guy leave your show, your show don't will last one more episode right? you are a joke PLEC
urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am pissed !!!!! i can't stand JULIE PLEC's BS can she just die already !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AGREE WITH @JULIEPLEC! IAN SOMERCENTRIC IS ANNOYING OH WOW
@julieplec Clearly I was hacked,not cool #hacked I'm in the process of finding out who it was-PLEASE be respectful with your comments.
Julie is Ian's boss. I'm sure she's well aware of the constant hate he gets. She should be DEFENDING him him not siding with the haters
@CW_network your show runner @julieplec is the most unprofessional and hateful on your network. With love, an former fan of your shows.
@iansomerhalder control your boss please
I have no intention to watch any of @CW_network shows because of @julieplec. Her behaviour made me hate the whole network.
@CW_network I agree! We all request Julie Plec be replaced with a more competent and professional writer Thank you !
SHES LITERALLY SCALPING YOU @IANSOMERHALDER
Hope you are aware that Julie Plec is giving your network a bad reputation. @CW_network
why did Ian decide to stay with these people

@julieplec good 2 know ure supporting bullies,who sand death threat 2others
@julieplec Wow.. shading Ian in public?? Pretty unprofessional and disrespectful js
@julieplec He's cleaning up your messes by promoting it for fans unhappy for the next season. He's helping you & this is how you repay him!
I think some of these folks talking about 'ingratitude' need to remember that Ian's career was going nowhere fast after Lost . . . and TVD saved *him*, not the other way around. There's no doubt he was the biggest name to sign on to TVD, but at the time he had been struggling to book anything new on a network or cable, so . . . and the fact that he keeps on re-signing makes it clear that he knows he's not high on anyone's list to hire for anything else.
And seriously, Julie and Dries and Nina have been consistently saying that Nina will come back for the series finale, so having Ian contradict that and insult the fan who mentioned it WAS UNDERSTANDABLY ANNOYING. From Plec's POV, anyway.
But anyways, folks are already busting out the photoshop:

(what did Carina do, I don't get it?)
Okay, leaving all that behind.
Kat and Claire are both hustling and posing:
Claire's shoot looks . . . interestingly furry.
No nothing new and Westonkin today . . . but let's celebrate July 2015 with the screencaps from the deleted vid from July 2013:

Crazy kiddos are hitting their 2 yr anniversary this month. Phoebe knows what I'm talking about. She left this comment on Paul's pic of her with his sister:


Yes! Buy the pretty girls prezzies, Paul! Like, maybe an upgrade on that promise ring for Pheebs. An honest to beek Westonkin engagement would liven up the rest of the summer for everyone.
ETA Okay, correction: Olicity has 8.9 million votes. I was waaaaaay off. They have a 1 million vote *lead* over Bamon, which is outrageous and why don't we just stop with these nonsense polls.
