I don't love you, but I always will - a Damon/Elena shipper manifesto (part 2)

[upupa_epops]

Here goes part two! Part three will probably take me a good while to write. tvdbloodstream has a Top Ten challenge, and the ship part ends on Thursday, so it appears that first I have to work on something with actual deadline. But for now, part two is alive and kicking. Without further ado:

Haha. You don't get to judge me!!!! I ACTUALLY went to sleep right after that! With some good logic the bf managed to convince me that it would be stupid to continue working all night and be all sleepy during class. Which at this point is the most important thing in my life. Every hour counts. (I threw such a rage fit when I fucking overslept last Tuesday!) So at that, I was very convinced and went to bed.
But yes, the painting is going really well right now. I am late as fuck though. And I freak out every single day over the fact that I only have three weeks of time with my (precious) teacher left. And after that I will be on my fucking own to finish this. (AHHHHHHH HELP ME I WILL DIE SUCH A PAINFUL DEATH THIS SUMMER!) And the pressure is on. Like the fuck on, since I'm in the middle of painting my blue Flower (and she's only the most important thing ever SHUT UP SELF!). But at least it's pretty :) For now.
(Yep, the panic is rising. No doubt about that.)

I feel you. I never wanted anyone to promise me they'd be with me forever. If they just, idk, keep wanting to be with me for years, it's fine. But I don't want anyone staying just because they said they would.
Yeah, staying because you promised is the ultimate worst. If you take out the choice to give love out of loving. Then you plainly destroy the heart and soul of love, the meaning of loving. The beauty of the gift that it is. I can't get over the fact that so many people see love as a duty and not as a (free) gift. This honestly makes me sad.

For me the worst thing of all is this fucked up cliché that 'I can't live without you' is romantic. It is not. FUCK. That's just blissful ignorance. Because the day I was faced with an earnest 'I wouldn't be here without you.' I fucking cried all the tears of my body. Instant response of my soul. Because it's not romantic. Not at all. Jeez people, snap out of it!

I started shipping D/E when he broke her brother's neck in front of her :P.
Ohhh, good one! But my shallowness knows no bounds when it comes to DE and shipping. No scene needed, bro, no scene needed! :D

Also : shut up. I am very happy to make you blush. So shush! And I'm sure it's a lovely sight. You're just too stubborn to see it. (Don't you dare talk back to me on that. Because Artaud(♥) is already -passionately- judgy enough for the both of us.) I'm positive : it's lovely. K?

Good luck with painting as much as you can during those 3 weeks :). I'm sure you'll do an excellent job!

For me the worst thing of all is this fucked up cliché that 'I can't live without you' is romantic. It is not. FUCK.

WORD. You know what's really romantic? "I can totally live without you. But I still want to live with you."

I just consumed s1 in one crazy marathon, I didn't have time to start shipping anything ;). I need to process things in order to have opinions ;).

YES YES TOTALLY YES EXACTLY FUCKING YES.
Why aren't more love stories about that?

I need to process things in order to have opinions ;).
Absolutely, me too. I just ship to different intensities and shipping can come from pretty much anything, where I'm concerned. (I (sort of) shipped DE before I had even seen a single episode of the show - shallow thing that I am.) But deep emotional attachment - God, are we creepy! - always comes from a slow, painful, over-analytical, often over-identifying, passionate processing of things :P
