Lol at Sage and how her gender is causing problems all over the shop (seriously I've seen everything from book!Sage was male to how dare they have a woman encourage a man to rape women!). It is so depressing (in an entertaining way?). Alas, it only makes me love her subversive existence more. (Something is wrong with me).
though 1912 Damon really didn't strike me as much different from present-day!Damon? He was bitter, withdrawn, foolish, defiant, etc. and… he pretty much is all those things today, lol.
So I've been thinking about this and I'm beginning to think that it's not naivety but earnestness and I just couldn't find the word. IDK, for me, flashback!Damon hasn't yet be disillusioned properly or at least he hasn't embraced his disillusionment yet? I don't know. He is just more 'innocent' to me than present!Damon.
I have no idea what I am trying to say, because I agree that Damon in 1912 is bitter, withdrawn (massively), foolish, defiant etc and he remains those things today but his actions in the present have a...'lol nothing matters' about it-- which is manufactured (Damon (and the writers) has set himself up to be the antithesis of Stefan whether or not that is actually true) because you are right, we do see glimpses of earnest/naive!Damon even now ("Because I love you."/"That's the problem.") and I guess because I get so much entertainment from those glimpses I just want more, because I am greedy and c'mon. Those moments are perfection.

In summary, I need to find a crow icon.
