tvd, 3.08, "everything is incest and nothing hurts" (that should have been the title though)
I think I'm going to stop watching The Vampire Diaries. Why continue after I've been given everything I've ever wanted? That episode read like a sweet, beautiful, steamy love letter addressed to me. It was spritzed with Alaric's cheap cologne and tied with a lock of Damon's mullet hair.

I did!
As much as I've loved the previous episodes of overt shippy-ness, I also feel like a lot of this season has felt contrived. (Probably for, in part, that reason.) This episode didn't feel contrived in the slightest, and neither did this scene. At all.
This. This. Can I just say this is really refreshing to hear. This season has been contrived, and I think a lot of my passive agressive grumbling has been because sometimes it felt like Delena was being force fed to season three, like some gingerbread-house-living witch was trying to fatten it up to roast or something. Just my opinion, I don't mean that Delena is bad in essence, but how it was dealt with this season...not so much for me.
ANYWAY. This episode, I just...felt very at peace, supportive of everything Damon and Elena chose to be which, AS YOU WELL KNOW, has not been common lately. Anyway, yeah. Love and appreciation for genuine exchanges and not so aggressive shippery.
Also, everything you said about Rebekah. Because she is my heart rn. Siblings forever and ever and ever.

No, I agree. I've been feeling grumpy hearing people say it constantly though so I have been avoiding the topic entirely if you hadn't noticed. Not that it hasn't been true, because it has, but it makes me cranky because it was so not the only or actual problem; it was the same for about every story line and relationship. But people always pick the one thing they feel invalidates their preferences and focus.

Same. I feel like they were just really beautiful and real this episode, apart and together~ WHAT THEY SHOULD BE, BASICALLY. This is the essence of my ship, man.
REBEKAH, MY SWEETHEART.

Sorry :/ I didn't mean to salt the wound, I try to curb my cynicism to not rain on your ship (yes, that's me curbing...I scoff too much for my own good), I just meant it as a contrast to how great tonight ep was: if every episode could be like this one, the world would be a more perfect place. (And also, you are right about so much else about this season being so forced, this was like a breath of fresh air.)
I feel like they are still not my ship, just...cuz, but it's nice to be able to hang out on a dingy with them.

TRUTH but not every episode will be of course. MY MOTTO: TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD, LIKE TYLER SAYS~
Anyway, it's okay. I know you don't mean to rain on any parades and no one, especially not me, is trying to convert you or anything. Not asking you to ship it, but there's plenty to appreciate without shipping it. BUT NOT GONNA LIE, sometimes the scoffing makes me poker face because well
