This is yet another spontanous TVD meta. Because I have feelings about the last episode, and I have FEELINGS about what I currently see all around the internet. So, you know, it's either writing a meta, or spontanously growing a set of fangs and eating random people. This meta is a pitchfork in the hand of an angry God

Ugh it seems like Elena haters are everywhere lately. :| It makes me want to stan her extra hard, sorry internet.
He is the key violator of free will in this show, and Elena is teaming up with him to send Jeremy away. And she knows it's wrong on the every possible level. Elena is pretty smart and self-reflective. She knows she's done a terrible thing, and you know what's worst? Damon understands. He is such a terrible person himself he can actually understand Elena at her lowest.
Ooh, nice insight. I like the idea that the lower Elena sinks, the closer she gets to Damon lol.
Basically, this kiss makes the Top Ten Damon Drama Queen Moments list.
lol Damon.
It's because this moment on the porch is her most vulnerable moment. She's just done something horrible, and she knows exactly how horrible it is, because she had had the same thing done to her in the past. She knows she is spiralling. And she knows Damon sees it. She is so exposed she can't even get her defences up in time.That's sort of awful in a way, though, ( ... )

Oh, I definitely agree that Damon was totally selfish in this scene! Typical Damon crap, just like s2. I was even going to write about it in the post, but it slipped my mind when I decided I wouldn't focus on Damon. Thanks for bringing it up!
One day you must share your thoughts on Damon erasing his "I love you" in 2x08 which has always seemed like the ultimate selfish moment to me rather than him being all noble as some fans paint it
MY VERY FIRST CLASH WITH DAMON/ELENA FANDOM, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT IT!
Damon/Elena Fandom: "OMG, this scene was so awesome!!!"
Me: "OMG, this scene was so awesome!"
Damon/Elena Fandom: "OMG, it was SO ROMANTIC, what do you think Elena will do when she finds out? WILL SHE FINALLY SEE SENSE AND LOVE HIM BACK?"
Me: "Uhm. She will kick his ass six ways to Sunday for being such a self-centred dick and messing with her MIND?"
Damon/Elena Fandom: *vomits rainbows*
Me: *IDEK*
So, yeah. I love the scene from Rose to bits, but, for God's sake, in which universe is Damon ( ... )

I think the selflessness is in the sentiment of letting her go - acknowledging that he doesn't deserve Elena and that she's better off with Stefan? But Damon being Damon, he needs the selfish indulgence of TELLING HER ABOUT IT.
(And, let's be fair, it's not actually all that selfless. I mean, what's he saying? "I'll stop harassing you and let you date my brother in peace." YOU'RE A CHAMP, DAMON.)

I guess I don't only agree with you, but also with your Katherine icon XD.

Hmm, interesting question. We'd have to assume that compelling Jeremy is a breaking point for Elena. In this case, I could imagine Elena living a double life, all Jekyll-and-Hyde, keeping up a facade during the day and acting out in shadows. They would still be friends and behave like friends, and Elena would be all responsible and adult, but from time to time things would get out of control with Damon, Elena's equivalent of Damon's random kills in s2. And, strangely, I think he would go for it, and maybe even make it his own way to act out? Something like friends with benefits, only it would be more about painful levels of honesty than just sex. Sex would only be a result. What do you say?
No binary oppositions will survive in this show ;).

Yeah, it's the talking that's really dangerous. It can expose things. And Damon would go for it. He is weak, that one.

something I find really refreshng on this show, that attraction and chemistry doesn't lead to automatic sex
YES! Sex drive is powerful, but it's not some ultimate power that cannot be controlled.

Sexual attraction is never a cause of anything; it's a result. It's like speculating about the future Damon/Elena: I will never believe that having a sexual relationship with Damon will lead Elena to isolating herself from her friends and family. In fact, a reasonable Damon/Elena scenario can only go another way round: Elena won't have sex with Damon, UNLESS she's already feeling so detached from her friends and family she has nothing to lose.
YES. A+
He is such a terrible person himself he can actually understand Elena at her lowest. And I think Elena knows what does it say about her (she seems to be asking this question awfully often, doesn't she? “What does it say about me?”).
YES. This is them in a nutshell.
AWWWWW I GOT QUOTED. *feels special*
She can't reject Damon, because at the moment she let him come so close she can't deny that she is overidentifying with him. Rejecting Damon would be literally rejecting herself.
UGGGGGGHHHH I CAN'T EVEN WITH THESE TWO.
There is nothing wrong in ( ... )
