LET ME SAIL, LET ME SAIL, LET ME ORINOCO FLOW

Ignore the title of this post. That song's been stuck in my head for weeks. Anyway...

HELLO! I'm aware that I've sort of been absent from LJ a lot. Blame school. I've projects, and work experience, and just ugh. I hate school so much. Also I was in the winter tsn-a-thon, which took up a lot of my time, but it was fun so it was worth it. And I've

TVD gets its own post because the first one was long enough already

Haha, I know a friend who would say "Et tu, Brute?" about that, though she actually said she will never take me seriously if I watch that show, but then that was when I myself thought I will never ever do that. I guess after all the Twifail fiasco I started hating all the vampires by proxy, but then I watched True Blood this summer, which is actually a terrible show still, it has only 3 characters I don't dislike and who aren't stupid and they are all vampires XD So I guess I thought they aren't that bad.
And I was kind of watching TVD via Tumblr (I honestly knew all the characters and possible ships and current season arcs without ever having seen an episode xD) fandom osmosis is a powerful thing, and to be honest I thought I wouldn't like or care for any ships (except Stefan/Caroline which I thought was a much bigger deal judging by the all Tumblr hype about it and I liked how those two looked together) I didn't really have an interest in Damon/Elena and I didn't think I'd ship it because I don't ship Buffy/Spike. But I knew the actors were dating and I thought it's like a shipper's dream come true,lol, and they looked good together. But I still didn't want to watch the show, and then the kiss in 3x10 happened and that's when I first really had the urge to DL the show, it's strange that it spurned me on even though I didn't think I'd ship it, maybe I was subconsciously waiting for it? XDD

The fact of the matter is, I don't really like the show, the plot is so contrived and stupid often, it's like the writers don't know what they are doing and everyone is acting on a whim,lol (well, which is basically every CW show, hello, Gossip Girl), but I really do like a lot of characters so there's that. But still Delena is the only thing I REALLY care about. And to be honest, I actually love the pacing, because they really had DEVELOPMENT, you know, A JOURNEY, SLOW BURN, I just don't get invested in ships unless they make me WAIT for it, WANT it to happen, I enjoy UST and I think three seasons isn't actually too long, Stefan/Elena got together too fast for me to start wanting them to and their angst has always been soo boring, and we didn't even get a chance to see them develop feelings for each other, it was like "abracadabra, they are in love", where we actually see Damon slowly fall for Elena over the course of s1 and we see how he turns from someone she thought was a monster to the person she relies the most on, can't live without because he's her rock, I just, I just love such kind of development. And it's not like they are being kept apart for no reason, there's always the Stefan factor. The annoying Stefan factor,ugh. Honestly don't know why people choose Stefan over Damon, unless he's a Ripper he's so boring xD
most of all, I just heart Damon, and I want him to be finally loved the way he deserves to be loved by the woman he loves. I hope the show makes it happen. Though I must admit the way he selflessly loves Elena so freaking much just does things to my shipper heart. I always need this kind of love in my current ships. It used to be Booth's love for Brennan until that turned stale, then I guess Castle's love for Beckett but it got kinda slow and boring too, now it's Damon's love for Elena,heh.
