Review: TVD 3x16 1912
Ah, the hug! Those "Oh, baby, let's take care of each other." moments. I can feel those Alaric/Elena fics coming. *snerk*
There is one line, though, that I wouldn't have written that way. For the two people that will read this post, tell me if my thoughts make sense to you. Something I think would have been more in character, I guess.
That scene when Damon says "'Cause right now... You're all I've got."
It doesn't really feel right to me. A) It's not really true and he knows it. B) Stefan's the kind to feel sorry for himself, not Damon. and C) I wouldn't expect Damon to ever actually admit to such a thing. Except to Elena, because she makes him all mushy. But to Stefan?
The only reason I think that make the line makes sense is if Damon said it for Stefan's sake. Like maybe he needed to hear it or it would be the only way Stefan would accept his help.
Not to break the shipping of the Damon/Stefan out there, but what I expected was...
Damon: I let you walk away. I watched you go over the edge and I didn't do anything to stop you.
Stefan: You couldn't have.
Damon: Sure i could've. But i just didn't want to. [...] But I want to now. Whenever you go too far, I will be there to pull you back. Every second, every day, til you don't need me.
Stefan: Why?
Damon: ... Because it's about time I be your brother.
Wouldn't it make sense? He's just been saying how much he sucked when they both were changed. How angry he was at Stefan for needing him to live that he just turned his back and *failed* at being a big brother. And he seems to be thinking 'better late than never' and saying so... I dunno. I thought that's what he was going to say.
I'll shut up now.
And go send my resume to be a writter on the show to actually pitch my ideas to people that are interested.
