TVD 4x02, Memorial
I promised real thoughts on this episode, so here it goes ;). I'm terribly late with replying to comments and reading other episode reactions, I know. It's just that school started, real life takes up a lot of time, and when I actually have some internet time, I try to write fic. I'll do my best to be less late, but I'm not sure if I can catch up

Extreme Shipper Bias Time: is it just me, or was the S/E library scene a deliberate mirror of the 3x05 D/E scene? Elena is sitting in the same armchair, and a Salvatore is fixing her a drink. The difference is, Damon in 3x05 was wired and worried, kept close to her, offered some comforting touch. Stefan here practically throws her drink at her, he's annoyed and visibly separated from her (stands by the table instead of sitting next to her, the way Damon did).
Trust tumblr to be all over this too :)
Also, was it just me, or was Elena on the fence with the whole lantern thing?
She seemed reluctant to me, too.
Shoot me, but the blood sharing scene was a bit disappointing? Something was off for me. I really liked the writing, but something went wrong with the visual. Either Nina and Ian overdid a bit with the facial expressions, or it is just that everyone looks ridiculous while biting into someone's palm, and I should get over it ;).
Haha maybe it's just me, but I thought it felt really genuine. I hate it when sex-y scenes are fluid and perfectly choreographed. It feels empty. So the awkwardness and overdoneness worked for me. Including Damon's stupid face b/c damn, people make stupid faces when they're feeling turned on. My favorite part was Elena grinding her hip bone into Damon's groin in order to pin him to the door.

Oooh, thanks for sharing that gifset! I'm staying clear of tumblr for a few days, because things got a bit crazy there, so I probably wouldn't have found it myself <333333.

LOL, true. Huh, I feel kind of convinced, I might be forced to start liking it now ;).

Never change, you.
So, any thoughts on Elena's line about not being good at track? I might be fixating on this tiny little detail, but it struck me as so strange for her to be reluctant about running when she's been running as a means of building her strength for nearly two seasons now. That whole line about "I was a cheerleader" -- just seems to tie into her pretending to be someone else when she's with Stefan. I also really enjoyed realizing that one of the biggest ways Stefan helps Elena is at the funeral and it's be helping her convey this illusion of a normal girl caught in grief, not a starving vampire. Just more illusion.

Force? Never. Tempted? Who can resist awkward sex faces, honestly.

I don't think I will :(.
Frankly, I didn't really pay attention to the "not being good at track" thing, because I have no idea what that means XD. I don't know a thing about cheerleading, so the whole metaphor is lost to me. But it didn't seem like she was reluctant to run? More like she was being girly and giddy. New vampire, enhanced senses, no attention span.

Ooooh, I like this!

No one should ;).
