Why can't you love both ships?
On my first watch, I was tied between both of them, 55% siding with Stelena tho, on rewatch, I'm 100% Delena. That doesn't mean I have to hate Stelena or like it slightly less? I still love them. Both ships had pros and cons
Damon was very toxic and selfish in the beginning while Stefan made Elena feel safe and respected her choices. Yet with Stefan, there was a sense of safety, nothing exciting, with Damon, it made Elena feel alive, she wanted a love that consumed her. Damon also loved Elena and kept her safe despite her being in a relationship with Stefan. He also made some sacrificial plays like compelling her to forget him, and his confession, so she could be happy with Stefan
My point is: both relationships aren't perfect, and it's okay to prefer one over the other, but that doesn't u should hate the other, and always talk about Delena vs Stelena lmao

Watching for the 1st time and these are my impressions
To start overall, I Loooove this show. Cannot believe I didn't watch growing up because I was a HUGE Buffy and Angel fan. Here are my impressions, loves and gripes.
P.s I'm halfway through Season 5.
1. The reason I didn't watch this before is I felt it was a knock off Twilight and Buffy. When I watched the first episode I thought to myself 'oh they've hired this girl based on looks' and bitch was I wrong. I will eat my MF hat and shorts for thinking that. Nina Dobrev has been an absolutely amazing actress in this. The characters she has to play and slightly tweaked versions of each other but all being totally separate people is honestly incredible. To be able to do that at that age is amazing.
2. I cannot believe how much of a character change Elena has had from the second she became a vampire. I actually really dislike vampire Elena. Even with her feels back on, I just dont like her. She done a wonderful job of making the characters so different pre and post fang change.
3. I love Caroline. I love how real her character is. How Vapid and emotionally charged she is but how much she cares and how good of a friend she is. I really didn't like her at the start and now I love her. She may even be my favourite.
4. Alarics ability to come in as this kind nerdy teacher then become this scary mf in a single moment is crazy. Actor has some great skills.
5. Bonnie kinda annoys me at times? She's just a bit whiny in comparison. And I get it she lost her grandmother, dad and pretty much mom, but she also has her own hand to play in things and doesnt seem to be all that willing to take true accountability that isn't making herself a victim. Kat Graham is stunning but can we talk about her cute/funny jaw smile thing she does. 😂
6. Also Rebecca...her intro into the show had her using fire and wearing the witch necklace. How did she go from that into 'youre either a witch or a vampire not both', yet willingly giving up this necklace shes hunted down that contains magic abilities, which she had displayed.
7. Why did it take so long for us to get a real understanding of what Silas was doing there? Like for ages we were given half concepts and I spent ages being like why does he keep looking for the freaking cure when he had it for so long. Why did they take so long letting us know a separate net/heaven had been made to keep him from real heaven where he could be with Amara? For so long it made no sense.
So they're my thoughts so far.
Damon and Elena forever. Especially now she's a vampire. They're made for each other now. Quite literally too haha. I love how Damon has had almost the least amount of character progression, you're just getting to understand him more. Its funny that Damons motives and stuff are essentially the same but now we as an audience see more of why he's done the things he has, we understand why he is that way and accept it. Where as with the others, they have varied so much and changed so much over the show. I think so anyway.

Bonnie is treated like crap from the get-go (season 1)
So when Bonnie comes back from mourning her grams Elena, Stefan, and Caroline act like everything is back to normal and it’s infuriating. Bonnie is standing there looking depressed while Car just goes on and on and on about Miss Mystic Falls like girl who gaf,, ?? And Elena and Stefan legit act like nothing happened, as if Bonnie’s grams didn’t die BECAUSE she exhausted the last bit of her power saving his ass from the tomb. The fact that Elena has the audacity to act surprised that Bonnie blames him just shows how self-centered she can be even in the earlier seasons (but season 1 is when she’s still at her best). Stefan too acts like an ass in this instance, he doesn’t see the problem until it’s shoved in his face
Bonnie isn’t consolidated. She’s not hugged or stopped for conversation on her grief by any of her friends. They’re all wrapped up in their own little worlds ignoring her. This is just tragic

Selective hearing
Do vampires choose when to and when not to use their Vampire hearing senses? Because sometimes they hear, but other times (especially crucial times) someone can sneak up on them and they don’t hear ?

Interesting how the Mystic Falls peeps are against using vampire blood to heal if it's not life/death, everyone's too stubborn, too proud or too scared but here is Freya using Elijah's blood as hangover cure

Elena is an emotional cheater and she's unfaithful to both on purpose
Imo, elena is emotionally unfaithful to both, literally admits that the wants to date one and keep the other around. I think the only reason she chose stefen for so long was because she knew damon would wait around and Stefen wouldn't. She does juuust enough to keep damon hopeful - and she literally tries to notebook stefen when he's amnesiafied.
