The Vampire Diaries Compelling Crewneck Sweatshirt

This Compelling design comes from The Vampire Diaries, the CW series that turned a small Virginia town into eight seasons of vampires, doppelgangers and very bad decisions. Vampires here walk in daylight using enchanted rings set with lapis lazuli, and they can be resisted with vervain, an herb the townspeople quietly dose themselves with. Compulsion, the vampire mind control power, is the threat that makes every ordinary conversation faintly unsafe. The Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW in September 2009 and ran eight seasons to March 2017, developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec from the novel series by L.J. Smith. Williamson had already written Scream, and the same instinct is at work here: play the genre completely straight, then let the characters be smarter about it than the audience expects.

Nina Dobrev played Elena Gilbert and her doppelganger Katherine Pierce, two characters with opposite instincts, frequently sharing the frame. Vervain is the herb that blocks compulsion. Characters carry it, drink it and lace jewellery with it, and forgetting to is almost always how a plot starts. This one is printed on a black unisex sweatshirt in sizes S through 3XL. Grab it for yourself or for the friend who still defends Damon.
