TVD 3.17: Break on Through

[linsell_farm]

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).

She seemed to think that Stefan can go back to the way he was on his own, with no help.

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 to be.

THIS. How is he so flawless lately, MY HEART.

I love the her favourite blood is B Positive - such a good play on words. :D

Oh my goodness, that went right over my head! That does sound like the Caroline we know & love. :D Thanks for pointing it out!

And I actually felt pissed at Abby leaving Bonnie again. It shouldn't have surprised me, but I felt badly for Bonnie all the same.

I was FUMING about her spinning the bad parent storyline again - "Jamie actually turned out okay, didn't he, is this only limited to Bonnie?!", that sort of feelings - but later started wondering if she left rather because she was afraid to hurt her children before having learned control (the Jamie incident; Bonnie showing up to help at the right time!) and didn't know how to express that properly, which I'm... more okay with.

Elena seems to be deep in the throes of a major misunderstanding when it comes to both Stefan & Damon. I hope she comes out the other side of that quickly.

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
