Damon/Elena 3x19♥

Liz was working at her office, when the phone ring.
“Sheriff Forbes” she said short when she answered.
“Sheriff Forbes, hi” Stefan replied. “I was wondering how it’s going with the murder on Gabe Lindy”
“I’m sorry, Stefan. I can’t give away such information” Liz answered.
“I’m going to take a wild guess and say the corpse is missing” Stefan said amused. A few seconds of complete silence followed. Stefan had asked Katherine to compel the sheriff to forget he knocked her down and took the body.
“What do you know about that?” Liz eventually asked.
“Doesn’t matter”...

Oh boy...THIS episode had me reeling for hours afterward. My thoughts were basically any other DE fan's that were heartbroken. Honestly I felt for Elena this episode...Stefan and Caroline were REALLY annoying me! It felt to me like they treated her vampirism and her feelings for Damon like it's a disease! Also not only did Caroline not give her the time of day, but Stefan acted in a way that was COMPLETELY uncalled for & put Elena in danger because it seems like they both cannot accept that Damon and Elena's feelings for each other could be real.

The original thoughts in my mind were...

"It's not that she makes him a better person, and she does, but he changes her too. Damon challenges her, surprises her. He makes her question her life, her beliefs...Damon is either the best thing for her, or the worst."

"I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything. That in death, you're the one that made me feel most alive. You've been a terrible person, you made all the wrong choices, and of all the choices I've made, this will prove to be the worst one, but I am not sorry that I'm in love with you! I love you Damon."
(Elena, 4x23)...

To be honest I've never really liked Stefan as a character ...and there were moments where I just wanted to dip him in vervain... one of those moments when he told Damon that it's ok for him to be in love with Elena as much as he wants , because he will always have the the thing Damon will never have " her respect" ... this statement was so ugly on so many levels , he's not just insulting his brother and hurting him where it really hurts , he's also insulting Elena .. by saying that Damon can have anything - including Elena's love , friendship - but her respect , he's saying that Elena may...
