STEREOTYPE #6: THE DRAMATIC LOVE TRIANGLE.
TYPICALLY PLAYED BY: NINA DOBREV, PAUL WESLEY & IAN SOMERHALDER
(suggested by an anon)

So it has been played around a LOT that people use these three and then replicate the plot from The Vampire Diaries. Both boys want the girl, girl is torn between them, you know how it goes. But why does this need to be the only awesome love triangle going around right now?

Now, we only have one suggestion for this, because I mean, come on, thinking up love triangles can have SO many possibilities, but we kind of love this one. Emma, Jesse & Andrew all have various real life connections to each other, and everyone has their own favorite pairings between them, so this triangle can go a TON of different ways, and it would be awesome to see plots between the three of them in the love triangle drama category.

Suggestions: Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield & Jesse Eisenberg

STEREOTYPE #5: THE EMOTIONAL, YET STRONG, GIRL.
TYPICALLY PLAYED BY: DIANNA AGRON
(suggested by roxyrichter)

If anyone has seen Glee, you’d know that Dianna’s character is exactly this. An emotional, yet strong, lead female character. She has confidence, but seems like she can have her soft moments, her moments of weakness that break through. Well we feel like these girls could fit the role as well.

Suggestions: Emma Stone, Troian Ballisario, Emily Browning, Tiffany Hwang

STEREOTYPE #4: THE MOODY BOY FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS.
TYPICALLY PLAYED BY: PAUL WESLEY
(suggested by the—honeybadger)

The great thing about these types of characters is that they can be played a lot of different ways with a lot of different looks. With characters like “the rich, pretty popular girl” or the “jock womanizer” typically have a “type”, you can’t really put a type simply on where a person comes from and their emotional standpoint. Which is why we’ve given four guys who all have different looks, but could still very much be believable in the part.

Suggestions: Robert Pattinson, Robert Sheehan, Vic Fuentes, Josh Beech

STEREOTYPE #3: THE DEEP, BROODING & MYSTERIOUS GUY.
TYPICALLY PLAYED BY: GASPARD ULLIEL
(suggested by thebansheescry)

We took the same route here is choosing guys that don’t always play the role of the “deep and brooding” type, but that we feel could totally play it well. While Andrew can sometimes be seen being put in the role, we still feel he isn’t type-casted as it as to make him unoriginal to fill the shoes. Also with Ian, while he fits the role, we’d like to offer advice to not play him to his character on TVD (unless it is a canon site of the show) but to make the role your own!

Suggestions: Iwan Rheon, Andrew Garfield, Ian Somerhalder, Cam Gigandet

STEREOTYPE #2: THE WALLFLOWER.
TYPICALLY PLAYED BY: ZOOEY DESCHANEL
(suggested by thebansheescry)

So we decided with this one to try finding some girls that aren’t typically used as the “wallflower” type, but could fit the role pretty well. With the exception of Becky Lou, who feels as if she could be a great substitute for Zoey, since they have similar appearances.

Suggestions: Dianna Agron, Mila Kunis, Nina Dobrev, Becky Lou Filip 

STEREOTYPE #1: THE MESSED UP / DRUG ADDICTED GIRL.
TYPICALLY PLAYED BY: TAYLOR MOMSEN
(suggested by thebansheescry)

I get it, you know. Taylor momsen can pull off the “typical slutty girl” look well. But just because she feels like an obvious fit doesn’t mean she is the only fit. We went with people who have a similar look to Taylor, but aren’t as commonly used in the role. They’re still edgy and pull off the same brooding girl look as her without being the poster girl for the role at hand.

Suggestions: Mandy Murphy, Hanna Beth Merjos, Amanda Hendrick, Zoe Kravitz
