_Team_Damon

callistahogan:

I recently read this post on LJ, and I have a lot of feelings. I also have no place to express them other than here.

I don’t agree with everything expressed in the article, but I do agree particularly on the first two parts. The third one is where it gets a little iffy, although the gist of it aligns enough with my own beliefs. It’s the first part that really gets my head spinning, though, particularly this bit:

So, for starters, we have two people whose definitions of love contradict one another in every possible way. For Elena, love is an act of free will, for Damon love is a fundamental violation of free will. Damon thinks that Elena’s kind of love is in fact a lie and an act of cowardice (There is something going on between the two of us, and you know it. And you’re lying to me, and you’re lying to Stefan, and most of all, you’re lying to yourself. I can prove it. – 2x01, The Return). Elena thinks that Damon’s kind of love is a thoughtless, destructive force and an act of insanity (But he did this to me, Stefan, which means he doesn’t really know what love is. – 2x20, The Last Day). So who is right? Logically speaking, they can’t both be right. Are they both wrong?
