women love fest day three: vidspam!!!

[ever_neutral]

Maaaaan, do you guys know how difficult it is to find good Elena POV vids in this fandom? BOO. But, I have scavenged up some gems just for you, fair Internet.

This one's a keeper. Relevant song is relevant.

I'M SO FOND OF THIS VID, lol. also, I <3 how the eponymous "I'm a bitch" line is always timed to various Elena-bitch-slapping-Damon moments. (Yes, there's your slap o' the day, ahigheroctave.) Things I derive amusement from.

---

yessss a good Elena POV of Stefan/Elena. I think one of the major complaints I see about S/E is the poor build-up of Elena's falling-in-love in early S1, but WORRY NO LONGER, for this vid does what the show failed to do, and illustrates perfectly why Stefan is (initially) so singularly important to Elena.
#i have feelings on your ship tho

maaaaan, this vid is good. "lightning strikes you when you move." Fuck, yes. It's all about Elena-as-object vying to be subject, and her growing disillusionment with everybody who wants a piece of her.

---

Aww, this vid. I remember seeing it after the episode aired and clutching at my heart, and stuff. It's a stunning song choice for Elena, of course, and the vid just depicts her in such an honest, sympathetic way. Also, the handling of her complicated sympathy/repulsion feelings re: Damon (particularly in response to the events of this particular ep…) is pretty spot-on, which is a rarity in fandom, honestly.

SADNESS! That image of Elena looking in the mirror, at her ~image reflected back at herself, is so poignant.

Yeah, that should be enough to keep y'all going for a while. :) Feel free to spam me in comments too.

I love it when they vid spam me! Thanks for these!

I love you less and Afraid to lose control gave me the chills!

The Stefan/Elena one really shed lots of light on their ship! i'm totally meming this entry.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

YAY! How good are those vids tho. Glad you enjoyed!

[aerintine.livejournal.com]

I forgot to leave a comment last night - these are QUALITY recs. I cannot pick just one. Ok I will: I love you less. Perfect vid. THIS STANNING WEEK IS SO FABULOUS.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay, glad you enjoyed! I think that might be my favourite too. And OMG THIS WEEK. SUCH FUN SUCH FUN.

[ahigheroctave.livejournal.com]

WOOOO. I seriously agree though, I was looking through my vid recs ala Elena and I realized there are hardly any videos of her alone, just ship-wise. :( Why do Damon and Katherine get numerous solo tributes but the centeral character of the show gets no love? Fail vidders.

YAY SLAPPING! WOOO!

Also, you're taste in music is solid. Yep yep.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

I KNOOOOW! So neglected. (I think Damon and Katherine are just the most apt for upbeat/sexy songs, soooo.)

HAHA I THOUGHT YOU WOULD APPROVE OF THE SLAPPING. (And I now regret not including a slap in my fic...)

And glad you approve of my music taste! *g* I ~pride myself on such things, you know.

I just saw this post, and you picked a fine selection of Elena videos. To me, I love you less is one of the best Elena videos, if not the best. Thanks for the rec because I never would have caught it without it.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed. It's inordinately difficult to find good Elena-centric vids in this fandom, but vids like "I love you less" make the search totally worth it.

The pretty!

Bitch has such a great choice of clips. And Find Love is my favourite TVD vid ever (though that might change as I watch the rest of this list) and Stefan/Elena isn't even my favourite ship. That pan up the gravestone--these vein can't endure that much more--never fails to give me all the tears.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Stefan/Elena isn't my ~favourite either, but the Find Love vid gives me ALL THE FEELS. /o\
