TVD 3x14: We're going down, down, down, together.
Holy hell. I don't even know what to do with this episode. We all knew this was going to be a bit of a ride, because in Mystic Falls formal wear is code for important events. But man, this was a fun episode. In a totally trippy, none of this makes any sense but I'm in love with how miserable everyone is sort of way. THIS FUCKING SHOW IS THE

Amen, amen.
Heh, I feel you on Elena/Elijah. I do sort of ship it, but… only in a very shallow way. DNW it to be canon - not because I wouldn't enjoy it, but because Elena has enough fucking love interests.
The OT3 appears, and DAMON'S SHIRT IS SO GOOD.
LMFAO MY THOUGHTS EXACTLYYYYYYY.
I would say I'll try to stop stanning Damon so hard for the rest of the recap, but this isn't a time for lies.
*tear*
I appreciate that even though Damon is pretty much always right with his instincts/tactical plans, his ~downfall~ is always his tendency to let his emotions get out of hand. Complexity~~ and shit.
Brief note: so it used to be so much easier with Damon, Elena? WHEN was this, exactly? Oh no no, Elena was talking about how it used to be easier WITHOUT Damon, y/y? They were actually talking about Matt before she said that, if I recall ( ... )

IAWTC. The dichotomy the show set up there is extremely dubious. But. I feel like this episode was filtered so much through Elena's POV, and Elena is ALL OVER the good!brother/bad!brother dichotomy? So the way the story presented the situation felt very deliberately dubious to me. Nonetheless, ITA does a WAYYYYYYYY better job of problematising Damon's attitude than it does with Stefan's. Old news.
But it is an interesting parallel - she resents Damon doing whatever he has to do to keep her safe, and yet she'll resort to having his neck snapped just to do what SHE has to do.AMEN. I feel like THIS, more than anything, is the central conflict in their r/ship. It's not that Damon is the Bad Boyfriend and Elena must get out (ugh to that interpretation); it's that they are basically THE SAME PERSON, and Elena is still unwilling to accept and acknowledge this part of herself, so she treats Damon ( ... )

You are 100% correct, as usual. And it makes me FEEL THINGS. Elena would absolutely be pushing Damon to stop caring and Stefan to start caring again, because that's what makes sense in her world. Yes, she's contradicting herself, and it's unfair, but she's just trying to make everything the way it was. THIS GIRL. LOVE.
they are basically THE SAME PERSON, and Elena is still unwilling to accept and acknowledge this part of herself, so she treats Damon as Other.GODDAMN THESE TWO. This is why she needs to make everything like it used to be - Stefan (well, good Stefan) is all the parts of herself that she likes, and Damon is all the parts she hates ( ... )

Oh, there's Rebekah! Oh wait, they're siblings. OH WAIT THAT WORKS. This is actually how I think.
PREACH. Though, Klaus/Rebekah remains #1. Actually if I ship Elijah with anyone, it IS Elena, but I'm still not interested in seeing anything more than their clinking glasses.
It's not that he's mean to Damon, because usually that just has me chanting "Make out!" to the two of them on my screen. But when you're mean to Rebekah, go die in a fire. Maybe that's it.
TROLOLOLOL. Fair enough. IDK, Kol won me over when he kept staring at himself in the mirror? I am too easy. :(

UGH, YES. It was all so ~simple back in S1, haha. I feel like all of her interactions with the two boys this episode were her subconscious attempts to capture the glory days.
He's breaking her down, and she is ( ... )

Klaus/Rebekah is ALWAYS #1. I kind of feel like Elijah's too classy for romance? Elijah/properly held champagne glass = OTP.
I feel like all of her interactions with the two boys this episode were her subconscious attempts to capture the glory days. SO MUCH. I think Elena doesn't mind the actual existence of vampires and monsters in her life nearly so much as she hates how she reacts to them now ( ... )

Elena has enough fucking love interests.
WORD. (And here's some insight into my internal monologue: They should pair Elijah up with Caroline or Bonnie. Though Caroline's already got enough love interests too...we need more women on this show. Oh, there's Rebekah! Oh wait, they're siblings. OH WAIT THAT WORKS. This is actually how I think.)
Kol just seems to be a rude-ass bitch to everybody.
Pretty much, which is usually enough to have me drawing hearts around his name. But so far he's not doing much for me? Not sure why. It's not that he's mean to Damon, because usually that just has me chanting "Make out!" to the two of them on my screen. But when you're mean to Rebekah, go die in a fire. Maybe that's it.
Because this ship is a terminal illness with all manner of unpleasant side effects. TRUTH. FUCK THIS SHIP ( ... )
