Here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed - a Damon/Elena meta

[upupa_epops]

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

Elena haters really are everywhere :(.

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 being selfless? He is indulging himself with a dramatic scene and then he is covering up his sorry, cowardy ass. I love this scene, because it is a great illustration of Damon's level of screwed-up. Plus, when Elena does find out, she will kick his ass gloriously.

As for 3x11 - I'm expecting an elephant in the room, but honestly? I have no idea. TVD keeps surprising me. Right now I think they'll choose to pretend nothing happened. It's not like they don't have real problems right now. So I vote for building up entropy.

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.)

[upupa_epops]

Agreed! Letting it go was actually fairly decent... but I don't think we should congratulate people on stopping harassing someone XD. I guess many people in fandom are still under the spell of Damon saying that he can't be selfish with Elena. And, at the same time, they blisfully forget that he also said: "What I'm about to do is probably the most selfish thing I ever did in my life".

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

Heh, I think it's rom-com syndrome. You know in rom-com movies, it's always supposed to be ~romantic when the guy totally stalks the girl and harasses her until she agrees to date him? That's what people expect of fictional relationships, so Damon apparently gets a gold star for being decent for once?

[upupa_epops]

Thanks, I've just learned a new word ;). But you're right, stalkers in romantic comedies = HE LOVES HER SO MUCH! Major gross factor.
