i've been in love , it's painful , pointless and overrated.
some girls just can't resist my good looks , my style and my charm , my unflinching ability to listen to … taylor swift . ind & sel ( low act . ) damon salvatore from the vampire diaries , s1 - 2 canon compliant , with some elements from s3 , and others ripped from the books . will not acklowedge anything past / mid season 3 as canon . 18+ blog . damon is a vampire , and a dick , expect blood , gore , and nsfw themes . minors dni . written by lenny .

some rules under the cut:
i don't wanna go on and on about stuff, so regular rules apply: don't metagame/godmode without permission , be nice , don't harass me for replies .
i will be using ian as his faceclaim ( and he will likely will be all over my blog for it , i won't be tagging his face everywhere sorry ) , so pls curate your dash if this is a problem for you . costa d'angelo is my alt , and i am willing to go iconless if that's something that could work for you .
if you hate elena gilbert, i don't wanna engage lmao bye sorry but we just won't vibe
if u hate damon for x and x reasons thats valid , but i don't intend to soften his characterization to cater to anyone else except for myself . please don't harass me about a fictional character . i write for fun , and while i can acknowledge his behavior would not be okay irl , i am a grown individual who is quite therapized and very capable of discerning between reality and fiction , i look at tvd through the goggles of entertainment . so no , his fictitious crimes simply do not bother me . yes , i find the character compelling . if they bother you that's completely fair , but again , not the blog for you .
i'm pretty trigger free , so triggers will be present on this blog but i'll try to tag the more obvious ones . the triggers i might write down likely involve murder , abuse , mentions of abuse , etc . he's a heavy character . no i will not ever write down s/a . i am big on horror , and i love the first season for it , so my portrayal might lean more that way sometimes .
i'm completely refusing to accept the 'off switch' in my canon , i'm sorry but i fucking hate that plot device lmao .
anything and any characters post s3 doesn't exist to my damon , we can still plot , but all the nonsense that happened won't be applicable . this means no stupid sire bond , no siren , no enzo , no lab , no dumb canon about their mom being a vampire god help me ... i think u get the gist . ik about later seasons from friends , but haven't watched from s3 onward and i have no intention to do so , soooo ... yeah .
english isn't my first language , i'm not super knowledgeable in the us either . i'm doing my best , be patient with me , have a cookie .
i'm stealing some of the more gothic-like elements from early s1 / the book . i think they were dope . there might be mentions of fog / the crow if i feel spicy , i'm not sure how much yet so i'll leave this be .
in othello's words : "i am one who loved not wisely but too well". damon is a complicated dude , he's selfish and cruel and reckless guy , loving and being loved by him is not easy , that doesn't mean he can't love people . he does ... his own way . he loves his brother , and that doesn't stop him from being selfish , and punishing him . he won't let him die , but he won't let him have peace either . he'd take a bullet for him , but he'd also cause him immeasurable pain , usually as a consequence of his recklessness , but sometimes intentionally . he loves elena , that does not make him unselfish , or not dangerous to literally everyone around her . and depending on the verse (though i'll argue he'll always carry a torch for her) , damon loves katherine , and it doesn't keep her from idealizing her into something she never was to begin with , being petty and vengeful and mean . he's fueled by love , but that love doesn't always make him kind , and occasionally it makes him crueler . he's a complex dude , and i like writing about it , if this or him make you in any way uncomfortable , please , curate your dash , block me , do what you have to do , no hard feelings . just please don't come for me over a fictional character , thank you .
— that's for me to know , and for you to ( ... ) independent , selective portrayal of damon salvatore ; played by lenny . 18 + . gore , blood & big bad vampire ahead . reader's discretion is advised .
— Damon's eyelids droop low and heavy over the lecherous blue of his eyes; a quiet, teasing a glint catching the light as the sharp edge of his mouth point itself outward like a knife, playful, and dangerously self-assured. You could cut yourself on the edges of him unnoticed . "Like what?" he plays clueless, stepping into her personal space with casual intimacy, inviting her to explain.
if looks could kill , he'd be six feet under by now. she pulls her gaze as far away from his as feasibly possible - eyes rolling with pure exasperation as she turned on her heel , plucking an orange from the fridge. ❛ i'll let him know you stopped by damon , i'm sure he will be thrilled to know how much you've been thinking of him. ❜ her voice echoes bitter frustration , keeping her tiny stature hidden behind the open fridge just for a moment to escape the tension building this insufferable feeling inside her chest. ❛ because you are not staying here . ❜
damon lolls his head in that way he does , stiff , almost mechanical ; metronomic , the way the oldest salvatore moves--ever the quiet predator surveying its prey , calm , like a wolf who knows it can catch up with you any time it wants . ❝ well , i would think about his sister - but she has this awful habit of kicking me out . ❞ of her house . of her bedroom . which he entertains . for her sake , and her sake only - he technically has an open invitation - he doesn't have to leave if he doesn't want to . ❝ is that your plan ? ❞ when did he get behind the fridge's door ? a second ago , he was standing by the entryway , lounging against the doorframe , now his disquieting blue eyes are peering down at her , peeking over the open fridge door unapologetically . ❝ ignoring me forever ? ❞ color him skeptical about the results . why is her heartbeat so loud ? ❝ you could at least ... offer me a drink . ❞ a harmless suggestion in any other mouth , but it's the way the edge of his mouth quirks upward , the way his pupils swallow up the blue of his eyes again just to shrink again , which make the proposition sound particularly insidious .
❝ mhm . ❞ the playful hum of a man who knows he's winning this battle . he purses his lips , stretching the silence on the tip of his tongue . ❝ jeremy ... missed me . ❞ said with a straight face & all . where's his prize ? now , he could just admit he's just checking up on her , but he doesn't go another round of 'i'm a grown independent human blood bag, you don't have to keep checking up on me damon!' ❝ he might be in love with me or something . ❞
unfortunately just found out that if you snap someone's neck they die :/
there's a slow dismissal of breath that shifts past the plush of rosy lips , gaze lingering to find his with furrowed brows. ❛ you're not funny damon. ❜
