it's hard out here for a vampire

kricketsReally minor (arbitrary!) spoilers for season 3 of The Vampire Diaries:
The three things I am terrified about season three of The Vampire Diaries are as follows:
1. Caroline is taken out of the action, stripped of all her badassery, and left to deal with love triangles. Look, I like to see people make out as much as the next girl. But this had better not be the core of Caroline's story in season three. I love watching the relationships blossom (friendly and romantic!) but not at the expense of Caroline's hard-won awesomeness. Just, no.
2. They make me hate Elena. Elena was just as badass as Caroline last season in her own human way. I want to keep loving her as fiercely as I have been and I don't want to see her turn into a pushover or to compromise the values that both she and Bonnie share. This is partially about Damon, yeah. I don't want her to give him a pass. I am all for him redeeming himself. But so far she hasn't even given him that opportunity. She forgives him without him even having to try. I want to see him try.
3. Stefan gets pushed to the side storyline-wise and some pretty extensive character assassination occurs. I am totally down with exploring dark!Stefan. But I'm afraid his whole dark!Stefan journey will take place off screen. This had absolutely better not be the case. I will have to write a very strongly worded letter!
The thing about it is... I can totally see all three of these things happening. Easily. For me season two was amazing. So I should have way more faith in these writers. But the more Julie Plec talks the more I want to blow my brains out. Yet still, I have faith!
Except for the fact that my #1 up there? Already halfway came true in the last 5 eps of season 2. All I can say is they had better cut that shit out and quickly.
SPOILER
Random spoiler for the season premiere: One of the major plot questions is what is Damon getting Elena for her birthday. (What is this, Degrassi?) My answer to this is: Stefan Salvatore. It's the only acceptable thing.
I'd probably be happier if the big question was something like: "Who is Stefan going to make out with? Could be Klaus, could be Katherine, could be Caroline. TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!"
Just me?
