Um, physically, I don't hate all the Elena/Damon tension. But I don't want anything to come between or make Damon and Stefan hate each other even more than they think they already do. So while I was like "HOT," I was also like, "WRONG." And even Damon knew it.
Still, I was kinda disappointed when it was Katherine chopping off John's fingers and not Elena, lol.
I'm not quite as attached to Damon and Stefan yet as I am to Dean and Sam, but if they started some angsty love triangle, it would be too hard for me to watch, because I watch for the Salvatores, people. But I really don't think they're going to do that. This show seems different, somehow. Smarter.
And I HAVE seen that and it is 12 kinds of AWESOOOOME and makes me want to write Salvatore Shenanigans. Which I have been trying to do for days now. Blah.
I can't get past my mental/emotional block with Damon/Elena. Like, I totally love how she's helped bring out his humanity again, and I can totally understand why he would fall for her as this entity entirely separate from Katherine who has given him chances and is a good person but stands up for herself and all the stuff that makes Elena a character I like more than I thought I would...And of course I could see her attraction and affection for him...But I just can't enjoy it, if that makes sense. Because I ship Damon/Stefan too hard, and that hurts Stefan in way too many ways and would fuck the two of them up in way too many ways...So I hope they don't get too immersed in that, though what little I've heard of the books (I tried to read the first one, it blew) is that it does go there a bit, so hopefully the show doesn't (which is already different than the books). The flirtation, yes, but I don't want the triangle to be the plot...and I think you're right in that the show won't fall into that trap, but I'm always so afraid...*glares at SPN*
WRITE! I've totes been wanting to write about Damon watching Stefan sleep ever since I read that (and since the nightmare scene), maybe I'll drabble a little tonight...It'll make us feel better!!
Yeah from what I hear the show is barely at all like the books, so I don't go off of that at all. This show just seems so much different, with the female characters and the fast pace, and the people actually TALKING, that I already trust it more than I trust spn not to rightly piss me off and make my heart hurt.
Just talking about this show makes me forget about the awfulness of the other one. ♥
