TVD: What If Jeremy Succeeded In Becoming A Vampire?

Klaus preaches the vampire lifestyle. Interested?

                  I think it was the opening of Season 2... yeah Season 2 where Jeremy tried to become a vampire. Ugh! Jeremy was such a sad emo kid! So glad he grew up. But what if Jeremy hadn't failed at his attempt at suicide to become a vampire? His story may have taken a highly different turn!

Van Helsing who?

           Anna had just died and this made Jeremy jump off the deep end. He downed Anna's blood that she gave him then swallowed a bottle of pills. There weren't enough pills to cause an overdose so the vampire blood healed him instead. But if Jeremy had succeeded then he would have been a vampire. Emo Jeremy in vampire mode? That would have been a dark storyline.

This feels right...

         Jeremy was a pretty messed up kid. He was one of those sad drug addict kids that you felt a little sorry for but just wanted to punch in the face because they were bitching most of the time. So if Jeremy became a vampire he would have spiraled even deeper, going through a very dark period like Vicki did. However, I don't think Elena would have let Stefan or Damon kill Jeremy like Vicki. Stefan would have tried to help Jeremy live as a vampire (Jeremy would have been a pain in the ass still). We saw that Jeremy and Damon had more of a complicated bromance but if Jeremy joined the fang club I think he and Stefan would have been closer as a bromance. Given that Jeremy's emotions would have been heightened, he would have caused Damon a lot of trouble. Jeremy isn't Damon's biggest fan but as a human Jeremy kind of came to grips with the fact that the older Salvatore wasn't going away and his sister loved him. 

You're... one of the ones...

         For Jeremy's love life, not sure if he and Bonnie would have gotten together, at least not for a long time. Bonnie went through a vampire-hate thing for a while where she cringed at the thought of the kind, empathetic Stefan being in the room. I don't know why but I would have seen Jeremy and Caroline date for a while (in real life Candice Accola and Steven R. McQueen dated for a year and a half I think). Katherine turned Caroline into a vampire so Caroline and Jeremy would have experienced the rough transition together. So yeah I would have seen them have a romantic relationship before they went onto the other loves of their lives. 

"Stop being such a dick to your sister."

         As for Elena's relationship with her brother/cousin Jeremy? Elena loves Jeremy. He was the one constant in her life that she could rely upon for family and when he died, she lost it. Of course Jeremy was still angry at Elena for keeping the vampire secret from him so I would have seen that as a huge hump to get over because of the vampire feeling 10x more than humans thing making it hard for Jeremy to forgive Elena. I think he and Elena would have had a coarse interaction throughout season 2 up until her sacrifice where Jeremy would do everything in his power to save her because she was still his sister no matter what. 

This one's for the ladies

       If Jeremy had become a vampire he would have taken longer to grow up to become the mature, hot guy that we all love. He would never have become a hunter. He and Bonnie would not have the epic romance that they have now or at least I don't think. Probably they would have given that Bonnie's mom was a vampire. Either way, Jeremy would have been annoying and almost trapped in his emo phase. Or maybe like Caroline (who we all love better as a vampire) he would have become a better person, similar to the guy we know now. But I also have this bad feeling that if Jeremy had become a vampire then he would have been killed off a lot sooner. We don't want that! So Jeremy is better off as a human and Elena the vampire.
