For Elena, love is an act of free will, for Damon love is a fundamental violation of free will. Damon thinks that Elena's kind of love is in fact a lie and an act of cowardice (There is something going on between the two of us, and you know it. And you're lying to me, and you're lying to Stefan, and most of all, you're lying to yourself. I can prove it. - 2x01, The Return). Elena thinks that Damon's kind of love is a thoughtless, destructive force and an act of insanity (But he did this to me, Stefan, which means he doesn't really know what love is. - 2x20, The Last Day). So who is right? Logically speaking, they can't both be right. Are they both wrong?
YOU AND YOUR EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS. RUDE.
Elena can't shake Damon even though she doesn't want to choose him [...] He doesn't want to understand this part of Elena. He doesn't want to know about this part of Elena. And yet this is the part he gets, because, somehow, he's always there to pick up the pieces and carry her out of the wreck. Hates every second of it. Does it anyway. Will do it again..
YESSSSSSSSSSS. I LOVE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH. They just fit together so perfectly, the way their relationship challenges each of them exactly in the place where it hurts the most. They understand each other in ways no one else can. And they both fucking hate it. And they hate each other. But they can't stop loving each other, because what else is there? What would they cling to if they couldn't retreat to this dark place where only they live?
Damon/Elena is not a story about a good girl who falls in love with a monster, saves him and makes him turn into a beautiful prince. It's a story about a good girl who discovers that monsters are, in fact, essentially human, and she is constantly one step away from becoming a monster herself.
AND NOW SHE'S EVEN CLOSER BECAUSE SHE'S A VAMPIRE, TOO. FUCK I CANNOT WAIT FOR SEASON FOUR.
I apologize for my existential questions. Let me just point out that giving me flawless Dawn gifs is hardly going to make me stop.

THIS. Narratively speaking, D/E shouldn't have happened, ever. They don't follow the pattern... or, rather, they follow the pattern in reverse. And it's reflected in their emotional relationship. It's like they can feel that they're a narrative abomination.
