discovered that my fiancé didn’t actually watch all of over the garden wall when I lent it to him back in 2021, because apparently he watched the first few episodes and texted me about it and I didn’t text back, and he was like “what’s the point if I don’t get to talk to her about it” and immediately gave up in a fit of lovelorn pique

Caroline forgave Damon for everything specifcally because he understood and showed sympathy for her mom dying and on the one hand no it's not fair that's such a tiny thing for him to do in exchange for all the terrible things he did to her at first, but on the other hand claiming it wasn't fair removes Caroline's agency and isn't it actually wonderful that she could choose to forgive based on such a small thing, that she could choose mercy after she witnessed a change?

Especially when the point of season 8 is that forgiveness isn't ever something you earn, it's a gift, it's paid for by the person who forgives, but you also have a responsibility when forgiven to try to change.

I need you to give me all the delena/tvd coded ttpd songs, hit me with it

bless you, anon!

so this is an EXTREMELY tvd-coded album!! the steady relationship with the guy who saved you isn't working anymore and hasn't been working for a long time. he doesn't understand you anymore. he can't move forward with you. the relationship is starting to be symbolized and characterized by death. at the same time, there is someone who does love you the way you are...and maybe has loved you even longer than the person you're with now. you escape the prison of the first lover and run straight into the arms of the new one--and everyone you know hates it and hates him. but you know who he is, and you know what you want!

you see the vision, right? this is where it starts to break down, because Damon is very much not The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. he gives Elena her sparkling summer, and then (after some bumps in the road) he gives her the promised rings and cradles. so here's the delena songs:

  • in a weird way, I think The Albatross is a Damon song. and when that sky rains fire on you and you're persona non grata, I'll tell you how I've been there too and that none of it matters is Damon when Elena becomes a vampire! everyone warned her about him, but he swoops in and saves her.
  • Fresh Out the Slammer is 4x07. Elena is freshly broken up with Stefan, because he don't understand me, and runs straight home to Damon, the one who...no matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway
  • But Daddy I Love Him is s4 when Caroline and Stefan and co have all turned against Damon. stay away from her, the saboteurs protested too much. Elena won't hear it! no I'm not coming to my senses, I know he's crazy but he's the one I want! Elena stands by her choice! he was chaos he was revelry, bedroom eyes like a remedy!
  • Down Bad is Elena in season 6a when she thinks Damon is dead. they were supposed to have forever and he left her, and now she's spiraling. tell me I was the chosen one, showed me that this world is bigger than us, then sent me back where I came from. I might just die, it would make no difference.
  • I Look in People's Windows is 6x06, Damon back from the dead and pressed against Elena's door hoping that she'll remember him if she sees him. does it feel alright to not know me? what if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?
  • The Alchemy is season 6b when Damon is back, Elena still doesn't remember him and is trying to date some unimpressive boy, and they still find themselves falling into old habits anyway. call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team! the sign on your heart says it's still reserved for me! who are we to fight the alchemy??
  • but the fun of it is But Daddy I Love Him comes back at the end!! Elena gets the whole story, including the fantasy happy ending. Damon wins over Alaric and Bonnie! Elena gets the wedding and to dance in her dress in the sun!!

miscellaneous non-delena ones:

  • Who's Afraid of Little Old Me is a Katherine song!
  • I Can Do It With a Broken Heart is Caroline Forbes, hands down.
  • I think The Black Dog is Caroline singing to Tyler. "I just don't understand how you don't miss me", and "tail between your legs, you are leaving" are the stand out lines.
  • the chorus of Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus reminds me of delena because "just say I loved you the way that you were" is 2x22 and "I've always wondered" is 3x22. the rest of the song does not work.
  • The Prophecy is a Bonnie Bennett song.
#i think if we called I can fix him no really I can that would be a disservice to elena#who at her best (when she's written best!) doesn't try to fix damon she just holds him to a standard#dsotd#asks#delena swift#delena
