Haha, what have I done to deserve such an audience as you? ♥
At that point I was just finding it acceptable it was framed at wrong and reprehensible. I guess that says a lot about the show and what it's capable of, which is just. Meh.
yeah. low bar, man. things like this really shouldn't be worth giving credit to.
Yeah no, you're telling me Jeremy Gilbert has a problem with his sister surviving anyway she can?
i just can't wank it away at all. and now i'm wondering where they're going with this. mollivanders suggested a possible Elena-Jeremy rift, which seems likely.
I found them tolerable perhaps, both watches, simply because their epic true love wasn't shoved in the audience's faces as much as last season, so I didn't feel the pressure of accepting them so much?
lol idk. declarations such as "you're the best choice i ever made" and "i can be with you forever", played straight no less, still feels pretty Epic True Love to me. ;P
I believe Elena says and believes these things to put weight on the validity of their love and how they are good for each other, because she honestly needs to believe in them and I'm so fucking tired of it. It kills me a little inside watching ELENA SAY THESE THINGS with no hope of seeing otherwise, ever.
yep. i just can't deal with the way Elena is always written re: Stefan. can't deal with her having to bend over backwards 24/7 to reassure him of her undying love for him. can't deal with her unironically saying nonsense like "you always respect my choices" and "he would never hurt me" after his overt physical and emotional abuse of her last season. MAKE IT STOP. FUCK. i've lost all hope that she'll be allowed to break out of this Good Woman responsibility in this relationship.
p.s. LOL SAME. i thought that line sounded super forced, but maybe that's because Stefan was actually really forcing it out because he felt it was the thing to do. i could buy that.
Stefan's speech about how he gets to live with Elena's love, devotion, and sacrifice was kind of sweet, too? I was thinking: wow Stef, is this about Matt or you?
EXACTLY! it was so true to character, so i loved it. idec.
