Another played out trope on this show: Damon will sacrifice “himself” and do the shitty thing that will piss Elena off so that Stefan can default back to hero in her eyes. Sigh. We did this already. And I feel like we’ve done it a few times. It’s like the writers just hit reset on the relationships in the show and we’re back to Damon being the misunderstood bastard, Stefan being the OH SO ANGSTY hero, and Elena being the one that’s kept in the dark about the shit that’s ACTUALLY happening because the guys are treating her like she’s some sort of object to be passed around.
Speaking of which: Nope. Damon, you don’t get to hand off Elena to Stefan because Elena is autonomous person that should get to decide whose bed she shares. So both of you Salvatores, stop doing EVERYONE a fucking favour and act like you’re the deciding factor in who ends up in Elena’s vagina.
Because I’ll be honest, at THIS point? I ship Elena/Elijah more than any of the other things I ship because I’m just worn out on the lather, rinse, repeat of the Elena/Stefan/Damon dynamic. And plus, because Elijah is a dapper motherfucker and because he’s cute and because he wrote her a lovely note.
Another plot device I’m sick to fucking death of: Bonnie virtually disappears for episodes on end! We give her a plot! That plot destroys Bonnie’s soul! She is relegated to the background to hate Elena/The Salvatores/Caroline/Everyone! Thereby making Bonnie redundant to the plot AND an outcast AND unworthy of screentime! Yayyyy! YAY FOR THAT.
Except not at all yay, and stop underutilizing Bonnie AND Caroline who are great.
AND SPEAKING OF ALL OF THIS. Caroline does NOT get to judge ANYONE for sticking their tongue in Damon Salvatore’s mouth when she’s busy giving the time of day to the dude that JUST ORDERED HER MURDER TWO OR THREE EPISODES AGO. Seriously. I get that Damon was shitty to her. But Klaus not only tried to KILL her, he also ruined her relationship with the guy she’s in love with. So like, excellent writing there too.
And that should cover the airing of the grievances this week.
