tVD 4.8 This is What Love Looks Like
This is a post that made me tear up several times while typing it.
This is not a post about the sire bond.
This is not even a post about how Damon and Elena ARE THE CUTEST COUPLE EVER.
I want to just squee about our ladies getting drunk and having a girl's night.
[Cut to protect those who don't want to be spoiled by my unabashed glee and squee and love and flails and sobbing and sobbing and sobbing]
This is a post about the fact that we got an ENTIRE episode about our ladies. Yes, that's right folks. Kelsey doesn't care. About the New Orleans plot. Or Tyler. (I never care about Tyler, and quite frankly he's freaking me the fuck out this season.)
And as much as I care about Elena's happy-bounce when she throws herself back into bed and her face and Damon's face and how they are perfect... I don't want to talk about that.
I want to love on these precious, precious ladies.
About needing to expose themselves, needing to be heard, needing to be comforted and understood and loved unconditionally.
About it all becoming loving each other the most. About pulling together. About them ALWAYS being the pawn's in someone else's war - but being fucking STRONG ASS HEROES. ((Guys, I'm legit tearing up right now.))
Bonnie capturing everything with her camera. Elena opening up about vampirism being weird. Elena getting cozy on the couch with a blood bag in hand. Caroline being Caroline. Caroline laughing at herself for being who she is. Bonnie watching them fight and make up with that "those are my bbs" look on her precious, gorgeous face. (Because if there's anyone on this show that ships Care/Elena the way I do - it's Bonnie.) SOB!
Caroline's face when she tells Elena: "He took advantage of you." SLAYED ME DEAD.
Because Damon took advantage of Caroline. He hurt her and abused her and raped her. And she needs that to be acknowledge. And probably more than anything, Caroline really, really wants someone to understand what she went through. She was never held or coddled or acknowledged - but she could do that for someone else! She could take Elena's hand so easily and help her through this. And she needs that. Because Caroline (she's me, okay?) doesn't really know how to take comfort, but she can give it. And it's only through giving comfort that my Care-bear receives comfort. That's how this works. And my heart is really breaking for her right now.
And Elena's face in response. That hurt her. Because she has feelings for Damon. Real ones. Human ones. Vampire ones. There's a whole mess of feelings, okay? And one of the three people*** she loves most in the world just told her that the man she CHOSE to sleep with hurt her.
*** Bonnie, Caroline, and Jeremy. These are the top three people on Elena's list. TRUE STORY.
Caroline being tortured by werewolves again. Girl. When are you going to let go of this nightmare of a relationship, that keeps ending with you hurt and handcuffed (and not in a good way). And Writers when are you going to let go of torturing MY BB? IT'S MEAN!
It's like every scene with April when she says "Have you guys seen Rebekah?" and I know that this didn't actually happen this week but EVERY TIME I WANT TO HOLD HER AND WEEP AND PET HER AND SAY: I FEEL THE SAME WAY, GIRLFRIEND!?!?! *sobbing* *wails* *searches for Rebekah*
Elena's face when she offers to be tortured instead of Caroline. I ALMOST DIED. She is still disposable. She still does not believe in her own worth, she still is not worth as much as the people she loves. She is still Elena. All this: "Elena is changed" thing is a huge problem. Because she's so the same it hurts. SHE STILL is Elena. *sobs*
These girls love each other the absolute most. ABSOLUTE MOST. Stefan. Damon. Tyler. Klaus. THEY DON'T MATTER. At the end of the day it is about Bonnie in a corner being a bad ass witch while Elena and Caroline fight and sacrifice for each other AND THEN EVERYONE HUGS EACH OTHER AND LOVES EACH OTHER IN THE END, OKAY?
This is a post about loving ladies so much it hurts. About how these three - these precious, beautiful creatures - love each other more than anything. The writers are playing some clusterfucks on us and laughing. Joke's on you, writers. I got everything out of this episode you didn't want me to get. I'm not tripping all over your bad writing and the sire bond and the plot. The plot is twisty and stupid right now. I don't care about it. You can't make me.
I'm just going to sit over here in this corner and love the ladies. End of the day: I'm here for them. Kill off the Salvatores, the weres, the hybrids, the Originals - I don't care. Just leave my precious girls and I am satisfied.
Furthermore: elsewhere in tv-land
- Lemon Breeland continues to be perfection on my screen
- Once Upon a Time = that show about lesbians ♥
- I just started S3 of LOST and am having ALL the Juliet ~feels
- Also - Victorious continues to ruin my life on a weekly basis
