3x10 Reaction Post, Because I Literally Cannot Help Myself

I always knew a day would come when I would crack under the pressure of all my flailing and just write a recap post. Apparently today is that day.

The solid hour I spent writing this reaction post has been so validated by the fact that two real live humans have actually bothered to read it. GINORMOUS REPLIES MAKE ME HAPPY.

I'm just really intrigued by Bonnie/Stefan. It's more than likely that nothing will really come of them. But they could be SO interesting. Or maybe it's just that I'm always excited when Bonnie has a scene with anyone other than ancient tomes. I WANT TO LOVE HER SO MUCH.

Because he is basically her best friend right now.

I've never done a full episode rewatch so immediately after an initial watch before, and it really was fascinating what I picked up on. The Jeremy compulsion foreshadowing just HIT me the second time around, so I'm pleased it makes sense to you.

I see people harping on her left and right for being selfish in this episode and I'm like, so what? YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

The more selfishly Elena acts, the more I love her? But seriously though.

Poor Tyler. His denial is truly impressive. Because if he didn't pick up that Klaus sending someone a message involved death in some way, well, boy has been eating too many sorority girls.

I've always been so O RLY at this idea that Stefan somehow cares more about ~humanity~ because: no.

WORD. He just wanted to care more. And now he's over that (stay like this forever, Stefan).

And Damon finding out was so wonderfully anticlimactic.

THIS EPISODE WAS SO GLORIOUS IN ITS ANTICLIMACTIC-NESS. Seriously, the whole reveal of it all was so not earth-shattering, to both Damon and Elena. Any other show would have played it up to death, but THIS show just tosses it out there and gets it over with. ALL MY LOVE, IT IS YOURS, TVD.

HE KNOWS. #Damon understands Stefan the mostest

Sometimes Damon is so damn obtuse about everything. And sometimes he is just so incisive. When he's not acting like a child with Stefan, he is so gloriously wise, because he can see right through Stefan. I WILL NEVER GET OVER THESE TWO.
