Hail the King and Queen of Darkness ...
Hey everyone...
This entry is something I have been working on for a long, long, looong time now, and it consists of my thoughts about Damon and Elena from the Vampire Diaries both in the books and in the show. I hope you enjoy reading my thought even though it's very long.
Under the cut.

Okay, I must say I got spoilered a bit.. or a bit much by the part of the entry saying things about DE in books series but it doesn't bother me. Even though I have read till now the first two books and without the third one two more, I didn't do that focusing on details. It was more like a brief newspaper reading.. yeah, I know, I'm admitting to something horrible if I see myself as a big DE fans who.. I am. :D
I hadn't known anything about The Vampire Diaries book series until I saw a commercial introducing a new show and -having seen Ian Somerhalder- decided to give it a try even though I was already tired by then of the vampire fuzz around Edward/Bella. I'm more than glad and deadly happy I did. You pointed out everything that you were able after watching 10 episodes only and now, when we're on the route with 16 of them aired already, there's like tons more to say, right? :) I'm planning myself to write a similar review as yours but I guess I'll bring myself together after the first season will be aired fully.. ;]
I couldn't agree with you more as far as I'm concerned after reading bits of books. I see Damon as a fierce, interesting like no one else ever will be, witty, smart, sarcastic and cynical in the fascinating ways of this features. And overwhelmingly handsome.. evilly beautiful beacuse cruel characters are amazing and beautiful almost always and he represents this group like no one else GREAT.
I know Elena has feelings for him and they're more reasonable and more junstifable than the feelings Stefan has for her. I guess I could say I'm simply not able to appreaciate an easy love that just comes to you, enlighten your life and makes everything simple just like that and stays the same all the time, for the very beginning, in the process and in the end. It's not like that in the real life if we can put that label on it. Love changes, feelings do too, it should envolve, change, grow better and better, stronger and stronger. Instead it's just boring because it doesn't give anything new. That's why Damon and Elena are MY ENDGAME and the only possible I know is believable and real.
D/E FTW!

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review this :)
Yes, I admit that now we have had much much more Damon/Elena material to review/analyze after 16 episodes and with the new stills for episoded 17, 18 and 19, I cant wait for the season to end for me to write another article about D/E. They're so amazing.
I dont blame you for only briefly reading the VD books. I dont like the books, but only Damon and DE, other than that the books are very very cheesy I must admit. Stefan is SO much like Edward Cullen that it makes me SICK. Hate Edward Cullen and Edward/Bella, ugh... No offense IF you're a fan of Twilight :).
Like you said, real love has to begin somewhere and then evolve and -maybe- end sometimes too. It's only realistic and as painful as it is, it makes it so much more real and it affects the reader/viewer much much more when it is done that way instead of just throwing characters 'in love'.
D/E FTW indeed ;).

Yeah.. so the thing is.. Twilight saga might've been a reason I was at all interested in vampires at the beginning. It was like my own baby steps and a quick warm-up for something a lot bigger and more committed and that is now - "The Vampire Diaries" and my growing love for DE.
At first I liked Edward, I really did because he was like an ideal and completely supernatural sculpture of a greek god. At the very, very beginning because - it shortly made me sick, these totally repeated statements of how amazing he was made by the author.. it was a bit annoying and so cheesy, so, so, so CHEESY! Then I suddenly found myself in the point of reading the Jacob/Bella/Edward thing and it pissed me off much. Well, i'm not a fan of threesomes that happen between two men who.. are not fierce at all. ;)
Exactly my thoughts too -I love the "falling in love" process and the whole fun from that because it gives you perspectives, there are moments of greatness and the "getting to know each other" and with SE there was nothing.. like a brief bridge scene and stuff like -well, he knows what pain is, let's make out. Bleeh, it's just bleeeh.. There's no warm-up, no steps, no levels, just ILY words said so fast that it means nothing to me.
D/E is amazing because we know it will be hard, possibly wrong and so multi-layered yet brilliant.

I am very ashamed of admitting this, but I used to like Twilight just after reading the series, but then I realized how DUMB and LAME the whole thing was. It revolved around nothing more than a hormonal teenager lusting after a hot looking vampire.
And the characters are so one-dimensional and everything about it was soooo lame to me afterwards, lol :D
But to everything else you said: AMEN! :)

The falling in love process is the most interesting, tantalizing process of a love story, and when stories comletely skip over it, it's just pointless. Now, I don't mean that they have to picture every frame in time as the fall in love, but skipping over it completely is just a huge, huge loss.
another reason why Kate/Sawyer is so kick-ass
