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.
( BEWARE. This is long and flail-y and ridiculous. Of course. )

This, always. Of COURSE she has selfish moments. I love her selfish moments - I actively want her to be darker and more manipulative. But she tries so hard to make everything right for the people she loves, and always especially for her brother. And she's 18 years old. The way she goes about everything is not at all perfect, but the way she cares makes me love her no matter what. I WILL SHOUT MY LOVE FOR ELENA GILBERT FROM THE ROOFTOPS FOREVER.
I was dreading watching the show under that shadow for episode after episode. I should have had more faith in the show, because it's proved itself pacing-wise, time and time again.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. I thought the whole misunderstanding was going to be one of the sustained arcs of the second half of the season. I thought I'd read that in interviews (never been so happy to be wrong). And suddenly it's out of the way, and this is EXACTLY why I trust this show so much. Because every single time I think it's heading in the direction all other, lesser shows would, it does something better, and I feel like I ought to have known it would. STARS IN MY EYES FOR THIS SHOW FOREVER.
