FORCE ME ON MY KNEES, WILL YOU
Goodbye, Elena
[kronk voice] oh, right. “tumblr’s” opinion. the single opinion shared by every blogger on tumblr, a heavily populated blogging platform. the tumblr hivemind. the opinion of tumblr. tumblr’s collective opinion
a few things you probably did not know about the signs
I love that even though we had no actual Bonnie/Damon scenes in this episode...
Bamon was referenced about 5 separate times, generally in significant ways that emphasized how close they are now. Not to mention, even without screentime they seem way more in tune with each other than DE were.

Bamon coffee date.
Somergraham has chemistry AF!
If you so much as hurt one hair on her annoying little witch head, I will kill you…
personal space? who needs that?
This is a surprise…
TVD (Ms. Bonnie Bennett)
Despite all their moments together, Bonnie felt he essentially faked it. That he only pretended to care about her to get what he wanted. He hurt her, again, but this time, there was more at stake. This time, HER FEELINGS for him were REAL; and he made her feel like she’d been duped. She spent four months falling in love with him while trapped in the prison world, knowing full well his feelings for her might only extend to friendship, and the last thing she expected was this. So, is it any wonder that she’d be upset he pretended to care?
And here, after she sent Damon flying in the opposite wall, in what could only be called, the ultimate showdown…after she, in fact, declared that she was putting herself FIRST…here stood Bonnie watching Damon retreat from her room in abject defeat. Oh, but the way her eyes trailed after his retreating form, spoke volumes.
Yes, they bristled with determination but they also glistened with heartbreak. In mere seconds, I caught an inkling of her uncertainty…of her vulnerability, in the minute shift of her eyes and was transfixed. She stood there and watched the only man who could light her up like con Edison on Christmas day, and she looked utterly alone. Damon was the only man…heck, the only person, whom she could play with and be herself, and when she needed that safety net, he betrays her.
And, what kills me about the scene below is that, minutes earlier, she flat out told him that she knows him, probably better than he knows himself. Heck, she basically said, she knew him like the back of her hand…and he STILL. DID. NOT. GET. IT. She’s practically telling him how she feels, and it completely went over his head but I digress.
Bonnie had, finally, won the battle for herself. She’d finally learned to love and accept herself, and made that known to the only person she’s ever really been honest with. She was finally putting herself first, and Damon needed to understand that. It needed to be said, OUT LOUD, for both to hear. He also needed to know there were boundaries he could not overstep with Bonnie…and to respect it.
Personally, those scenes between Bonnie and Damon were the highlight of TVD. Very charged, very intense, and well performed (by both actors).
