TVD 3.17: Break on Through
This episode brought home to me just how much of a Damon-stan I really and truly am. It also made me realize that I am a die-hard Damon/Elena shipper (which shouldn't be a surprise, but my depth of obsession with them is a little more than I'd originally thought).

The "go back to the way he was" part is the one I have the biggest problem with tbh... contrary to the way Stefan wanted it to come across, his lifestyle was NOT healthy while they were dating, not at all. He basically spent a century wallowing in self-loathing & rejecting his very being. If he is to fare well, he should never ever be allowed to go back to that, and Damon knows it. I hope Elena will eventually understand that!
I just don't want to see him with anyone who is not Elena.
It's come down to this for me as well. There are ships I am okay with when they are with other people while they take their time to get there, but Damon's first hookup with Rebekah really brought it home for me just how much I DO NOT WANT. I was probably the only person who didn't consider that ~hot~ in any way, oh well. Also, yes. Damon's dancing? RIVETING. Damon's dancing/showering with Sage? Not so much. #shipper issues
I loved everything that Damon chose ( ... )

I can deal with the idea of Damon being with others, as that is part of the journey that he needs to take, but I'm over watching the scene play out onscreen. Dancing with Sage was entertaining but seeing him in the shower with her made a small part of me say, "No!!"
IKR? I'm just completely and totally in love with him <3
I must give credit to arabian for the Caroline bit. She mentioned it in her post (although I had noticed it as well on re-watch).
I can understand Abby leaving to protect her kids, but initially I was just pissed at her for making the same bad choice as she had in the past (although then it was for totally selfish reasons).
Thanks for commenting, bb. I do love discussing this wonderful show with other fangirls. :D

After reading arabian's post, I've calmed down and stepped back a little. Elena's attitude is in keeping with her growing frustration with herself as her feelings for Damon try to fight their way to the surface. She's reacting to him the only way she knows how in order to stay in her state of denial. When viewed in that light, her words to Damon don't feel so judgemental and pissy to me.
I have faith that the next episode will bring about circumstances that simply won't allow Elena to remain in denial-land. She needs to be forced into a new perspective as I don't believe she will ever voluntarily go there herself. Of course, that might not happen for a few more episodes. We'll see.
Thanks for commenting :)

I am this too.
She seemed to think that Stefan can go back to the way he was on his own, with no help. Suggesting that Damon isn't the best one to help him is totally off base.
She lives in denial, that's the point.
Damon is the first Stefan/Elena shipper I think. He is a fixer. He wants the two people he love sthe most happy and he's doing everything to make this happen. Sacrificing his own happiness because he is like that, used to be the second choice.
Oh Damon...you break me.
Abby fails at life. She always runs away from her parental duties...

Very true about Damon being the founding member of the Stefan/Elena fan club. I so just want him to get to a place where he could actually believe that he's worthy of being the first choice.
I'm very much looking forward to this weeks' episode (but not to the month-long hiatus afterwards :( ... *sigh*)
