Ha, I knew you were gonna be freaking out about possible Caroline/Tyler. No sympathy for Tyler at all, eh? I find him pretty sympathetic, what with the being completely manipulated into turning through absolutely no fault of his own. I raised my eyebrows at the aggression towards Caroline; though he did apologize for it, and is clearly pretty terrified in general, so I take no issue with them being friends from this point on. They can both obviously do with more friends. (Of course, I found Tyler sympathetic before this point, so clearly I have a higher douche-bag tolerance than you. ;))

DAAAAMONNNN!!! That boy makes me want to cry cry cry. Ian? Perfect, flawless, and stunning. I haven't been minding Stefan/Elena lately, but they still don't interest me very much; they have been surprisingly adorable and functional, but... those things aren't really incentive for me to ship something (because duh who am I). I still feel like D/E are more emotionally true, probably because it's not primarily founded on romance? The way I see it, Damon fell in love with Elena because she's his first friend in... ever. And it kills me that he believes he doesn't even deserve that. DEAR BOY. BREAK MY HEART SOME MORE.
