actual conversation with my little sister: part 2

[lirazel]

Her: Did you watch Vampire Diaries this week?
Me: Yeah.
Her: How was it?
Me: Good. Craziness happened. But craziness happens every week.
Her: Good! I'm getting ready to stream it now.
Me: What did you think about Damon kissing Elena?
Her: Loved it. I always liked him better. Didn't you love it?
Me: ...Yeah. I did.

The only fandom conversation I've had of late was at 3AM Wednesday morning.
Mom: *groggily makes way to bathroom*
Me: *jumps out at her* Buffy's pregnant!
Mom: Alexis Marie, go to sleep.

THERE IS.....A UNIVERSE IN WHICH ELENA/DAMON (AND DAMON IN GENERAL) ISN'T TERRIBLE AND AWFUL AND HORRIFYINGLY MISOGYNISTIC??

I mean, I was so icked out by the events of the season premiere back in September that I dropped the show like it was made out of wriggly slimy abusing-all-the-ladies-at-every-turn worms, so what do I know, but I am startled and perplexed. My world has been thrown off its axis. ENLIGHTEN ME, LAUREN.

I'm not saying it's a healthy thing, because it isn't. But I have gotten back to shipping them in a twisted way. It's Stefan that's been treating her like she doesn't matter lately, like she's just an object in his games with Klaus (he forced her to drink his blood this episode and said he was going to turn her into a vamp if Klaus didn't back down) so at this point I don't think anyone can claim he's a better choice. Damon's still not a good guy, he's never been a good guy, but that's not the point. I don't think they're going to get together and it be functional and sweet or anything, but they've got a fantastic dynamic in a very dark way. He understands her darkness in ways no one else does, and her fascination with him is at least half fascination with death. It's pretty awesome.

I mean, I'm still grossed-out by people who think Damon is a decent person because: not. But I like to wrong-ship them.

Well, we may have Damon/Elena but it appears that there may be another couple on the horizon...

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I know!

Oh, god, yes. Conversation with my roommate:

Her: So. At least Damon's good-looking.
Me: Not really.
Her: I miss Rebekah. And Anna.
Me: Me too. Why are all the women in this show so much hotter than the men?
Her: And saner. And less evil.
Me: I'll get more M&Ms and let's watch the creepy parts again.

Seriously though. At least Alaric now has a sinister and deeply attractive possible love interest?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I don't find Damon that hot, either! I can understand why other people do, but he doesn't do much for me. None of the guys do, really, except Jeremy--I think he's pretty. But as a general rule, yes, the ladies are waaaay more gorgeous.

I miss Rebekah and Anna soooo much.

At least Alaric now has a sinister and deeply attractive possible love interest?

OH I HOPE SHE'S AWESOME. It looks like she might be!

Let's face it: I am only watching this show for the ladies.

[laeria.livejournal.com]

Yep, Jeremy's pretty. Tyler, too. The rest of the menfolk are - perfectly valid life choices, but not mine.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

You are both adorbs.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

It's pretty much the only show we both watch, so we bond over it. Though we never watch it together because we're never here at the same time.

Ha, my little bro woke me up and started telling me all the confusing details of the episode. (Confusing because sadly for him I haven't been watching this season. Why can't we never be obsessed over the same show, haha.)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

That is adorable! This is pretty much the only one we're both watching, so it's fun to talk about.
