It made me stop for a second when I was watching, because, while it made perfect sense she'd accuse him of things, I wasn't sure why she's accusing him in this particular moment. But then it all made sense <33333. Btw, it's amazing how Elena keeps refusing to be saved, and yet she constantly expects Damon to fix things for her. She expects him to help her even though she flat out refused his help.
I've been thinking why I love it so much when normally this pile of unrealistic expectations would disturb the hell out of me. And I decided this is because of Damon's reaction. Elena's accusations don't bother him, they don't affect him. He can distinguish between Elena actually having beef with him and Elena simply crying out loud because she's in pain. He isn't hurt by her comments because he can read them for exactly what they are.
Though, I think Elena DOES ~know, and sometimes she unconsciously uses that ~knowledge, because she can. Because he's the one who doesn't leave.
Hmm, good point. But there's a difference between Elena consciously using Damon's devotion when she's feeling well and Elena letting Damon see her when she's in a very vulnerable place. Elena knows that she's the worst, and when she's in a lower place, she assumes everyone knows it too. I don't think she'd be able to take Damon for granted in situations like that if her identity was contingent upon his viewpoint.
But of course, we all know that Damon/Elena can only happen as a "transgression" on the part of the good girl, for which she'll later be punished (and then ofc redeemed through Stefan's pure and magnanimous dick).
Bless you and your shade. You just gave me my Day Five topic XD.
