OH HEY TYLER WAS BACK (and I guess he has been gone like three days in TVD time? LOL WHAT IS THIS SHOW’S TIMELINE). He and Caroline had a few moments which gave me shippy feelings again.
It's the way he looks at her. I COULD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FICS ABOUT THE WAY TYLER LOOKS AT CAROLINE!
Actually I was back to finding Damon interesting this week rather than gross especially since I felt like the show was telling us that he was wrong and fucked up
I couldn't get over that this week-and I'm so done with Damon right now. I think the issue is that the show tells us that it was wrong, but it will be forgiven before the season is over AND I WANT CONSEQUENCES DAMN IT!
HE HELPED SAVE HER. WITH A LOADED STAKE GUN. MATT, WHEN DID YOU GET KIND OF INTERESTING AND HOT.
I chalk this up to Mattie thinking on his own again. There is nothing hotter than a man capable of independent, rational thought and rock-hard absI won't even try to quote all the Stefan/Elena stuff because I AGREE WITH ALL OF IT SO DARN HARD! The OTP just broke my

I KNOW. Like, honestly? Their steadfast refusal to allow any of his victims to respond in proportionate ways really, to me, is just flat-out not dealing with it as wrong, and is horrible to the victims themselves on so many levels being but ugh we won't talk about my personal issues getting all over this show.
Exactly! If they're trying to make the shift from bad guy to kind of good guy, they're going about it the wrong way. He abuses Elena this episode and his excuse is that he loves her . . . I just can't stomach it.
The shift in the way the show views Damon's actions and the actions of everybody else is jarring and nauseating. Stefan's much milder actions of protectiveness get called on. Logan Fell was considered horrible.
KATERINA EFFING PETROVA STATED IT FLAT OUT IN CANON, THOUGH HER STATEMENT COVERED ABOUT 1/16 OF ALL THE FACTORS THAT MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ABSOLUTELY TRUE FOR DAMON --> ELENA.
Oh, finally a sane reaction to tonight's episode. All the Damon/Elena fans on my f-list are raging because Stefan and Elena "wasted time" going to see the waterfall, when I dunno, she could have been angsting with Damon or something? I...find myself so far outside that part of TVD fandom now
( ... )
LOLOL that cat gif is amazing and sums up everything I felt about this episode ever. I just... I honestly.. don't? Know? Most epic episode ever? Probably?
and so he takes her to climb a waterfall and makes her smile and slowly gets her to open up as they reach the top even though they both know how she feels. He just wants her to get it out anyway and know he’s there for her.
I genuinely enjoyed every moment of Stefan/Elena this week. I love the fact that they are so anti-Edward/Bella and that Elena doesn't want to turn into a vampire.
I guess he has been gone like three days in TVD time? LOL WHAT IS THIS SHOW’S TIMELINE
I think it has been a little under a month? Idk, I'm mostly just incredulous at how much hotter he has got in that time. WHERE HAS ALL THAT HAIR COME FROM.
Julie HAD to be joking about the four days thing, because he left not long after the full moon so he had to have been gone at least a month, but given the way they pick up every episode after a cliffhanger it very well could have been only four days. I hate the show's timeline so fucking much.
JENNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I don't even know what to do with that. Or any of it really. Elena just broke my heart into a bazillion pieces, and Stefan, and I was relieved that they played what Damon did as gross and disgusting, I mean, I still don't care about him at all, but at least there was that. And MATT!!!! I knew I wasn't wrong for still loving him. But Jenna. :(:(:(:( Sad face forever.
This show. Sometimes, not gonna lie, I wonder why I'm still watching. Especially during those moments when Damon gets away with his crazy shit. But this. This was a great reminder of why I stick around

I am not really a Damon fan anymore - I still find him interesting as a character, but also a despicable person - but I wish this were a braver show, because he would die in the next two weeks, and not in a 'going out with a bang' way that I think he's always wanted (this is a man who volunteered for war back in 18-whatever) but with a whimper, like he deserves.
I wish this were a better show, where the character and narrative response was allowed to be proportionate to what he deserved so that every beautiful thing you just said could come true.
I was going to say better, but I have to admit that it's not a bad show. Considering the way other teen-oriented shows treat their characters (especially their women), I actually think TVD does well with keeping their characters not only consistent but human in their responses. Even, I have to admit, Damon, though he's clearly their surrogate for some of humanity's worse traits.
