Before I start with the episode reaction, I'm gonna carry on with the meme. I've been waiting for Day 5 :D.

Warning: this is a wordy post in which I have thoughts.

Omg you just reminded me that I never finished my 30 days. I'll have to get onto that.

BUT YES, I CHOSE THE SAME EPISODE. BECAUSE OMG.

My favorite thing about this scene is that Stefan uses a phrase: What we do now will define us, and Damon behaves like he couldn't care less, but then, when he sees Katherine in the evening, he actually uses the same phrase: This could be our defining moment. So he was listening, and he paid attention, and it was important to him (by the way, the same thing happens in 2x08; when Damon has his I love you speech, he also quotes Stefan when he says: I just need you to hear this).

THIS. One of my fave things about the way Stef and Damon interact.

Favourite quote? Let's see. Maybe. "No rules, Stefan. Don't you remember? No rules." I just. ♥

It's also the last time when Damon is honest about himself without creating a "safety zone" first (like, deathbed confession, or telling Elena things and compelling her to forget). Just look at him. If you want to forget what happened, fine. But I can't. Or his

You do that! :D

This quote didn't even occur to me here. It's awesome, but it's repeated in several episodes, so I don't associate it with any particular episode. This line is, like, the essence of Katherine, especially the way Nina says it. Wonderful :D.

I'm thinking of the end of 305. He is so fucking open with Elena right there. And it's quite shocking, because he's been closed for so long. But I will never leave you... it was SO BARE.Yes, he is quite open there, but he's not saying much about himself. Now that I think about it, in s3 Damon has moments in which he stops putting up a show when he's with Elena (like in 3x09; he just has an outburst of anger in front of her, and he hardly ever smashes things in front of other people), but he isn't very verbal about it. He doesn't give speeches the way he used to in s2 ("This could be our defining moment"; "I don't deserve you"; "I'm

2. Amen.

Lol, why Rhett? Hey, this is interesting! Now it's stuck in my head and I'm gonna keep thinking about how Damon reads Gone with the Wind. He might want to see himself as Rhett, right? Or is he a Scarlett? I'm pretty sure he hates Melly.

[ever_neutral]

lol, definitely Rhett. Because he's BAD TO THE BONE, BORN TO BE WILD, NOTHING CAN TAME HIM, &c. &c.

[upupa_epops]

Being Rhett probably makes him feel all manly XD. Also, Rhett's clothes were always FLAWLESS, so he would totally appreciate a clean!freak, right? And they could mock their Heroic Confederate Past together!
