A choice is not something completely final, ultimate, and most importantly, not always <strong>good</strong>. It’s nothing more than it is, a decision you make because of certain factors. Our choices change our lives, sometimes the affect who they are, but very few of them change us irrevocably. Forever.</p> <p>As for 3x22, it actually created one of the most beautiful Damon/Elena parallels.</p> <p>We can name multiple reasons why Elena chose wrong in 3x22. This post is not meant to explore Elena’s mind and heart. Let’s just say that based on what she thought she was supposed to do, she made this choice, having no idea what would happen next.</p> <p>Because of her choice, <strong>she makes Matt drive back to Stefan, dies and turns into a vampire</strong>. Very soon, she realizes she cannot be with Stefan, because her feelings for Damon are too strong. <strong>Her desire to be with Damon has nothing to do with choices</strong>:</p> <p><strong>Julie Plec</strong>: <em>It’s not about her choice anymore. She made hers. It’s about how her life evolves.</em></p> <p>Now let’s look at Damon in the same context.</p> <p><strong>2x22</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Damon</strong> (hallucinating): <em>I <strong>choose you</strong>, Katherine</em>.</p> </blockquote> <p>Later in the same episode:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Damon</strong>: No one forced me to love her. It was <strong>my own choice</strong>. I made the<strong>wrong choice</strong>.</p> </blockquote> <p>and then:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Damon</strong>: I’ve <strong>made a lot of choices</strong> that have gotten me here. It’s ok. ‘Cause if I’d have chosen differently, I wouldn’t have met you.</p> </blockquote> <p>Do you see? Katherine was Damon’s human choice. For quite a while, she was his vampire choice, too. Does that choice define who he is? Yes, partly. Does it affect his feelings for Elena? Lessen his love for her? <strong>No</strong>. We never even fathom that Damon’s love for Elena could be in any way corrupted because he used to love Katherine.</p> <p>So for a while, Stefan was Elena’s choice. It wasn’t even for 150 years. It was for a little over a year, the choice of a young, scared girl with a lot of post-traumatic issues and more tragedy in her life than anyone should handle.</p> <p>Yes, the circumstances were different. Damon didn’t choose between Elena and Katherine - except maybe in 2x07. I think the problem may be that the show likes to frame Elena’s decision as “choice between brothers.” It’s not. It doesn’t have to be. Elena made the choice to stay with Stefan in 3x22. Elena made the choice not to go there with Damon yet. Why these two choices should <strong>only</strong> be viewed as “chosing one over the other” - I don’t know.</p> <p>Despite the difference, the general outline is poetically the same: <em>they both make the wrong choice, they both die and turn into vampires because of it and as life goes on, they realize that there’s something better, more beautiful, more<strong>real</strong>.</em></p> <p>Twin flames even when they are wrong.</p> </blockquote> <p>Convulsing and waterfalling. </p></blockquote>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/48670615906http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/48670615906Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:53:26 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a37c97af42160a4f0800d601c41a5288/tumblr_mlopmahL8z1rf7byio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/48669620815http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/48669620815Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:39:14 -0400iansomerhaldersexyeyecandyyum<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/be98e94225f4d2147f8363e0205574c4/tumblr_mkic82DIE01s633dxo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://cinthyflorez-itsallaboutyou.tumblr.com/post/46733062350/over-sex-via-tumblr-en-we-heart-it" class="tumblr_blog">cinthyflorez-itsallaboutyou</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Over Sex | via Tumblr en We Heart It. <a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/56195667/via/thenameskhloe"><a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/56195667/via/thenameskhloe">http://weheartit.com/entry/56195667/via/thenameskhloe</a></a> </p></blockquote>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/46734850148http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/46734850148Sun, 31 Mar 2013 00:48:04 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1c85da90a9efe0bec9e63ff7cf8c9554/tumblr_mhz1jb6jxh1rf7byio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/42707454449http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/42707454449Sat, 09 Feb 2013 19:18:33 -0500divabeyoncebootylicious<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d8bcaad74737ad5d2e434e7a4356f475/tumblr_mhdg017Y6S1rf7byio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41771295353http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41771295353Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:03:11 -0500hilariousTVDVampireDiaries<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b685c5cc09190faffa6e0496d1c3ca97/tumblr_mhdg45MLbV1rf7byio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41771263960http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41771263960Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:02:23 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/43a0ffb0ce186e7a1c788391be368270/tumblr_mhdicxDKYO1rf7byio1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41771196975http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41771196975Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:00:42 -0500kardashianskhloekardaahian<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu24q5Bvpr1r2pmeoo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496809387http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496809387Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:17:31 -0500favemoviebuddytheELF<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljk3iieZml1qer5dvo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496631216http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496631216Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:15:01 -0500meangirls burnbook rachelmcadams<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln5r3lpBM01qhxxnvo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496505407http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496505407Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:13:17 -0500mindfucked crazy trippy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyiut2r3wF1ql30g0o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mollyjoyjoy.tumblr.com/post/16646430863/burn">mollyjoyjoy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>BURN!</p> </blockquote>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496386108http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496386108Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:11:36 -0500that70sshow ashtonkutcher burn<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lun2ywRP0I1qj73e2o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496323357http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496323357Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:10:44 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnx9okHfqs1qbpvs7o1_400.gif"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496206298http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41496206298Fri, 25 Jan 2013 23:09:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/94e06d036c23964b1a0c10735509721f/tumblr_mfjnpmPpRq1qbsjqno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41180123038http://taliaespino.tumblr.com/post/41180123038Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:40:39 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/531c5cede8962ba3524dfe7f6ef88ee7/tumblr_mg2zixo9Ne1rqs7p7o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://whateverthing.tumblr.com/post/39622907554/tumblr-on-we-heart-it" class="tumblr_blog">whateverthing</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Tumblr on We Heart It -
