嘿 peeps. I just felt like 写作 something on DE, so came up with this article. I don't even know if it makes any sense, i just wrote it :P It's a little rushed writing. So apologies beforehand. But do 评论 if 你 like it.

And another season comes to an end, but Damon and Elena are still not together. Forget relationship, Elena has not yet 给 a name to her feelings towards Damon. She definitely feels something for him, but what exactly it is- she has yet to figure it out. So, yes. I was upset that Elena, after sharing so many beautiful and intimate moments with Damon in season 3, didn't choose him. But i wasn't entirely disheartened coz a part of me wanted her to actually choose Stefan. No, i'm not a SE 粉丝 guys. Though everything pre finale was favoring DE's relationship, i felt that it still wasn't the time for them to be together. Hear me out!

Things were going beautifully, as far as our couple is concerned, till the first half of the season. Stefan was away. Elena had found her new harbor in Damon. He was her pillar of strength, someone she could lean on in those moments of crisis. Their bonding, understanding rose to new heights. Then Stefan came back, but as a ripper (or atleast so he was called!). This deeply effected Elena coz she had to watch the person she dearly loved be indifferent towards her. Damon too had to see his brother be the one thing he never wanted to be. A ripper! Thus, it inevitably led to Elena and Damon relying on and seeking comfort in each other. When one's faith buckled, the other was there helping restore it. They were each others support.

But things got a little problematic when Stefan got his free will back. Though free from compulsion, the guy was still not ready to come back to his home, to his people. He instead wanted revenge on Klaus, and would go to extreme ends (and he did!) to make it possible. This didn't go down well with Elena, a character famous for her compassion. While she still had Damon 由 her side, she couldn't let Stefan go. It was easier 说 than done, i guess. She fought for Stefan, trying everything in her power to make him come back to her, to make him feel, but to no avail. In my opinion,this was actually what ripped Stefan Elena apart, and not the ripperdom of Stefan itself! While Stefan was still not back with Elena, watching Elena struggle so hard for Stefan, Damon pretty much stepped back where Elena's 爱情 life was concerned. He realised (though untrue) that he'd never be good enough for her, and Stefan is still the one for her.

Now we head to the last few episodes of season 3. With the introduction to the bloodline concept, Stefan's mission to avenge Klaus came to a halt. So, now having no other aim to constrain his mind and energy into, he was back (all of a sudden claiming his 爱情 for Elena, i might add!). Actually back as the season 1 Stefan. But, just like all the residents of Mystic Falls, he too wasn't oblivious to the 'things' going on in between Elena and Damon. So Elena now had to explore what she felt for Damon. And the little trip to Denver helped her in some ways, i guess (We all enjoyed it nonetheless). This trip not only helped Elena with her feelings, it made Damon realise too that he still very much stood a chance with her. And he just wouldn't mess it this time, thereby not making it easy for her. Elena, coming back to Mystic Falls, then shared some close moments with Stefan too.

All in all, Elena dealt with (for lack of better word) both the brothers this season. She had ups and downs with both of them. But 更多 importantly, she was in 爱情 with both of them (yes, she is in 爱情 with Damon). Now she had to choose. And the reason i didnt want her to choose Damon in the finale, no matter how much Damon deserved it, was the fact that Stefan Elena were still not over. She might have developed (strong)feelings towards Damon, but in Elena's words, she never 'unfell' for Stefan either. She had to give herself and Stefan another chance, coz it was circumstances that pulled them apart and not they themselves. It was fair not only for Stefan, but for Damon too. Coz Elena, who might 或者 might not still have feelings for Stefan, does not do justice to Damon as a partner. Therefore, though borne out of mind, Elena's choice was not a peculiar one for her character, and the situation as well.

But what still boggles me is the storywriting for DElena. I have no words to express it. From beginning to till now, DE's each and every meeting has been so well thought out. 你 can see how much hardwork is being put behind them. Season 3 finale is just another outstanding example. Just when we thought all is over for us, we realize it's just the beginning. SE's storywriting comes across as a complete joke in front of DE's. Stelena's whole story is undone 由 introducing us first time to the fact that Elena actually met, and dare i say was attracted somewhat to, Damon first. The finale, which was supposed to be about Elena choosing Stefan, was nothing but another mindblowing block being added to DE's build up. I've never once felt that SE had any build up whatsoever. They met, fell in love, and became a couple. That's that. It's been like this for 2 seasons. And when they drifted apart in season 3, they reunite again without any buildup, 或者 any issues being sorted out for that matter of fact. Whereas for DE, every touch, every word they speak is minutely scripted. The scene of Damon's confession to Elena was laid out in as early as first half of season 2 just to add 更多 beauty and depth to DE's rlationship in the coming season 4. Season 3 finale didn't separate them, instead brought them 更多 closer than before. Keeping apart Elena turning into a vampire and remembering Damon's compulsion, even after Elena chose Stefan, both of them still didn't want to hurt each other. Their priority was happiness of the other. Elena consoling Damon, giving him hope that they'll see each other soon. And Damon, not telling her about neither their first meeting nor the imminent danger to his life. It's like everything around Damon and Elena is working to get them together, like it's their story. They have such an incredible journey.

They have hit the rock bottom, and they have soared the heights. They have experienced every emotion in their relationship be it anger, sorrow, happiness, pain, hurt, 或者 betrayel. They are each others best friend. They bring the best and sometimes worst out of each other. How can a pair like this not get together? They are just meant to be. And if anything, this year's finale has all the 更多 strengthened my belief and trust in them. Every road as of now is leading towards an epic DE union. The 更多 it is delayed, the 更多 real it is. May be not right away, but Season 4 is definitely going to unravel their relationship. It is not going to be easy, it never is. But it will for sure be worth it. A new future blossoms, not just of Elena but of DE as well. Have faith fellas :)
