TVD 4x15: Who's bringing the marshmallows?
Whoa, guys. Honestly, I don't even really know what to say. This episode was a tricky one. I'm feeling a little speechless.
( But then I found some speech, and no one was surprised. )

I am standing firmly on the line of "I don't know anything" when it comes to the sire bond, because every time I try to think about it I turn my brain into a pretzel of sadness.
Ugh, you and me both, honey. I've done a shockingly good job of convincing myself that the sire bond is not real, but I had a moment the other day when I remembered that if the sire bond really is a thing, my world will actually end. Don't do this to me, show. I will not survive it.
But you can make a parallel to Elena telling Jenna to "turn it off" during the ritual at the end of S2 and her taking the suggestion.
Ooh, good call!
The face-touching in this context truly killed me.
AAAAHHHH THE FACE TOUCHING JUST LEAVE ME I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT.
And I love that they zero-ed in on Elena here. I think it was very deliberately framed as her "defining moment," and I think (at least) that she made the bravest, strongest choice. And then she went a little crazy, but eh. Can't have everything.
Lol. But yes. I thought it was rather deftly done, because with all that building panic it kind of felt like Elena might make the emotional decision to throw the world into hell to save Jeremy, but then she makes the RIGHT decision, still, even after everything. And it's defining, and it's crushing. Girl's got a right to go a little cray after that, I'd say.
In my headcanon, humanity-less Elena is going to be meanest to Damon because she cares. #ihaveproblems
WE WERE MEANT TO BE FRIENDS.
Never apologize for drive-by commenting! It was a delight to read (the ridiculous delay notwithstanding).
