Best Friend Bombs

        

        Best friends are the people who know us best outside of family and sometimes better than family its self.  They push us to be better they challenge us they help us when family isn't an option.  Best friends especially long-time best friends have a way of shaking especially new relationships off the tracks.  We love our best friends because they are honest with us and sometimes that honesty goes a little too far.  For Carmilla and me, our best friends had a way to drop that proverbial truth bomb right on that new relationship.  

        "The Chair of the Board" Episode 6.  After episode one a lot of exposition happened the campus is in chaos due to a lack of leadership.  Something is happing with Perry completely separate from the main plot what I don't know.  Carmilla and Laura finally had their romantic night looking at the stars.  At the start of the episode, Laura opens a letter stating that the board is coming back to bring order to campus.  Instantly a woman appears at the doorway introducing herself as Matska Belmonde.

        It is revealed that Matska Belmode is Carmilla's "sister" more like a best friend.  Carmilla is excited to see her hugs her preventing her from eating Laura, a slight misunderstanding.  Maddy wastes no time proud that Carmilla killed "Mother" but also concerned she almost died.  Leading to her dropping many bombs on Carmilla and Laura.  

        The first was the "LOVE" bomb.  Instantly putting 10-foot walls around Laura.  For Laura the "Love" bomb was jarring and she quickly dismissed it.  Carmilla however took the full brunt of this one, because it was true.  Blushing at the mention of it.  At this moment Laura and Carmilla's relationship is a little lopsided Carmilla is in love with Laura revealing her first insecurity.  Maddy waste no time dropping another bomb the evil Carmilla bomb. Maddy begins to reminiscing about all of the meals over the centuries that they have shared.  Not exactly painting Carmilla in the best of light. To see how Laura reacts, which isn't well.  Revealing one of Laura's insecurities Carmilla's past.  Finally the bomb no one was expecting Maddy reveals they are staying in "Mother's" apartment catching Carmilla in a lie.  Maddy also hints at the biggest truth bomb yet, but I'm sure will get to that much later.          

         Week two of school I invited my best friend down to go to a football game.  At this point, L and I had kissed, slept in the same bed. Things were definitely new and I was excited for L and him to meet. I will call him W.  W and I have known each other since we were babies.  Our mothers were best friends so we have a lot of history together.  L and I had known each other for about 10 days.  W arrived Friday evening and we went out to dinner and I told him about L and all I had been up to.  L had started pledging sororities and was out dealing with that.  So they didn't meet till Saturday.  Saturday again busy for L with sorority stuff but we would all meet up at the game.  W and I found a spot and L greeted us at the game.  I could tell she was nervous taking my hand but standing between W and me.  We had a good time went out to a couple fraternities post-game thanks to L's connections.  Went back to my place W slept in my bed L and I on the floor.  The truth bombs didn't come till post-weekend.  L's biggest insecurity is and has always been her weight and W went right after it.  Next, he went after the two of us sleeping next to each other that night.   Finally, the speed at which we were moving.  

    Boom direct hit W had exposed each of our insecurities.  Now I know he was looking out for me and wanted to protect me.  Hell, I would have been where I was if it wasn't for him giving me the first push 12 months earlier.  The way in which he went about dropping the bomb was not ok.  Did it delay me and L getting together?  Officially probably not, but it did flush out some of our early issues.    

        Now I'm not throwing W or Maddy under the bus they mean well by us and are only looking out for our best interests.  They drop these bombs to see how committed we are to the relationship they are testing us.  Like I said their intentions are well granted their timing and approach was not the best with each relationship in its infancy.  To drop those bombs definitely shakes things up and puts pressure on a new relationship.

Its a Trap! Kind of.

                                                    Though episodes 11 to 16 are very important, essentially showing Carmilla trying to save Laura from her mother first by just telling her mother to find someone else's besides Laura.  Then Carmilla tries to scare away her mother with the charm bracelet to protect Laura from other vampires all while Laura finds evidence linking Carmilla to all the disappearances devising a plan to catch Carmilla.  These episodes move the plot along but don't really relate to me and L until the trap.           It's a trap,  Episode 17.   It's a Trap was an instant flashback to a moment between L and me.  So when Carmilla walks in and doesn't want to go to the party and would rather have one on one time that's totally me....

Laura Eileen Hollis

            Laura Eileen Hollis (played by  Elise Bauman ) is one of our two protagonists.  Laura is young, sheltered, naive, and headstrong.  When we were first introduced to Laura I instantly identified with her. ( Carmilla and Laura Parallels )  Things quickly change with the introduction of Carmilla.  This entry isn't about me or Carmilla.  It's really about Laura and L.  What makes them similar and what makes them different.  Laura does have a few similarities lets just say Laura and I love the sweets.  I will bring them up some of them at the appropriate moment.      Let's start with the differences.  Though they have a ton in common there are a few differences. Now it is no secret that Laura is naive and I could say the same thing about L.  The two both grew up in small towns and were out on their own for the first time.  How they were naive is where the differences lie....
