tvd, 3.08, "everything is incest and nothing hurts" (that should have been the title though)
I think I'm going to stop watching The Vampire Diaries. Why continue after I've been given everything I've ever wanted? That episode read like a sweet, beautiful, steamy love letter addressed to me. It was spritzed with Alaric's cheap cologne and tied with a lock of Damon's mullet hair.
( I want this to be my TVD save-point please. Before my heart is inevitably ripped out. SPOILERS BELOW. )

I did!
As much as I've loved the previous episodes of overt shippy-ness, I also feel like a lot of this season has felt contrived. (Probably for, in part, that reason.) This episode didn't feel contrived in the slightest, and neither did this scene. At all.
This. This. Can I just say this is really refreshing to hear. This season has been contrived, and I think a lot of my passive agressive grumbling has been because sometimes it felt like Delena was being force fed to season three, like some gingerbread-house-living witch was trying to fatten it up to roast or something. Just my opinion, I don't mean that Delena is bad in essence, but how it was dealt with this season...not so much for me ( ... )

No, I agree. I've been feeling grumpy hearing people say it constantly though so I have been avoiding the topic entirely if you hadn't noticed. Not that it hasn't been true, because it has, but it makes me cranky because it was so not the only or actual problem; it was the same for about every story line and relationship. But people always pick the one thing they feel invalidates their preferences and focus.
ANYWAY. This episode, I just...felt very at peace, supportive of everything Damon and Elena chose to be which, AS YOU WELL KNOW, has not been common lately. Anyway, yeah. Love and appreciation for genuine exchanges and not so aggressive shippery.
Same. I feel like they were just really beautiful and real this episode, apart and together~ WHAT THEY SHOULD BE, BASICALLY. This is the essence of my ship, man.
REBEKAH, MY SWEETHEART.

Sorry :/ I didn't mean to salt the wound, I try to curb my cynicism to not rain on your ship (yes, that's me curbing...I scoff too much for my own good), I just meant it as a contrast to how great tonight ep was: if every episode could be like this one, the world would be a more perfect place. (And also, you are right about so much else about this season being so forced, this was like a breath of fresh air.)
I feel like they are still not my ship, just...cuz, but it's nice to be able to hang out on a dingy with them.

TRUTH but not every episode will be of course. MY MOTTO: TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD, LIKE TYLER SAYS~
Anyway, it's okay. I know you don't mean to rain on any parades and no one, especially not me, is trying to convert you or anything. Not asking you to ship it, but there's plenty to appreciate without shipping it. BUT NOT GONNA LIE, sometimes the scoffing makes me poker face because well

However, in any kind of fiction anywhere it doesn't really bother me unless I actively think about it. I'm kind of just, do they have the best chemistry? SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP. -- Yes yes everything what you say.
Can I just say that Damon and Elena's interactions this episode were so pitch-perfect? -- Yes you may say that and I will stand right next to you saying it. Just. FLAWLESS. Everything I have ever wanted for them.
Right off, we all agree Mikael is kind of a huge abusive douche, right? -- Mmhmmm. Not as awful as first made out, but still. Team Klaus, lmao.
Elena has to help Stefan because she loves him, not because she wants to be with him. -- IA. I don't think it's ever been just about getting her bf back. It's about loyalty.
Anyone who goes on about Damon's decision-making skills and desperate attempts at saving Elena's life against her will in season two? Yeah well, you're right. I will not defend his decisions, which were at best unacceptable, but those ( ... )

Basically that. I carry around a little flag and everything.

This has got me thinking. Because, well, I'm sure plenty would argue with you there. ;) What does it mean, to ~know~ someone? I can't deny that Elena is one of the closest people to Stefan, and they are obviously very emotionally intimate, but then you have moments like "I know you better than anyone" which, honestly? That shit doesn't fly. If you "know" someone so well, you don't keep aggressively TELLING them who they are. That's one of my main beefs with E/S, how Elena consistently denies Stefan's bad parts, e.g. "this isn't you" etc. which will never be anything but a reinforcement of conditional love to me. But, IDK. That's just me.MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. Epic love, my butt. (Not theirs in particular, just in general.) That's me, too. It's just the truth. If you tell someone how they are or should be, you don't know ( ... )

I don't know; I'm absolutely terrible at picking overall favorites in anything. But I can say without a doubt that it would be in my top 3.

Yeah I'm usually super picky too, but this episode was almost TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, SO.

I can tell this is going to be a flawless post because this is basically my overwhelming thought of the episode.
Shipping Rebeklaus until the very end. Of the universe.
YEP YOU'RE FLAWLESS. HOW FUCKING PERFECT ARE THEY PLEASE.
Right ok I basically decided to read it all and then comment afterwards but I know realize that would be useless because WE ARE THE SAME FUCKING PERSON AND HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT PROCESS AND REACTIONS TO EVERY SINGLE THING, I WOULD IRL JUST BE SITTING HERE C+P EVERYTHING YOU SAY BECAUSE I AGREE WITH. EVERY. WORD.
KLAUS/REBEKAH, DAMON/ELENA AND DAMON/STEFAN ARE OTP AND ALL I NEED IN LIFE (AND ELIJAH AND ALARIC...AND DALARIC...AND CAROLINE...OH AND MY HBIC KATHERINE OFC)
