"Love is just a way to die" - 5x22

I apologize in advance if this post won’t make a lot of sense, but my emotions and thoughts are still all over the place. Anyway, I need to let something out and since we’re all suffering right now, I figured it would be nice to focus on what we got, instead of what we lost. Because we got everything.

  The future. In 4x13 Elena asked Damon to grow old with her. In 5x03 Damon talked about building a future with Elena. Now they’re both talking about it, they both want to spend their immortal life with each other. It’s all they see, there is no doubt whatsoever and they’re not afraid to say it out loud. If those two sentences didn’t sound like wedding vows, then I don’t even know.

The cinematographic kiss. Their eyes closed, the ray of sunlight shining through their faces, the whispered promise. Such rare beauty, art and poetry, and it was all for DE.

“I’m all in”. Elena is willing to relive her human death. Elena is ready to die in an explosion. Why? Because she doesn’t want to leave Damon alone while he is facing death. Because she doesn’t want to risk losing him. Because she can’t live without him. Because she wants to be with him until the very end. She’s ready to give up her life, for him, and for him only. There was no other reason for her to be in that car. “My boyfriend, who has never put anyone’s life before mine, including his own”. Yeah, Elena pretty much did the same thing. I don’t think there is a statement of love bigger than this one.

 “I know”. Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Damon Salvatore knows and truly believes that Elena Gilbert is in love with him.

 Damon and Elena dying together. It couldn’t get any more tragic than that, nor more romantic, for that matter. They’re in this together, they’re a unit, for good and bad. They’re going to die, but they’re not scared, because they’re right next to each other. Just one look, an unspoken conversation, and there they are, smiling at each other. Everything is going to be fine, as long as they’re together, even if they’re seconds apart from going up in flames. This is what dreams and great love stories are made of.

 “I don’t have a choice, baby”. No one on this show has ever called Elena “baby”, no one. You wanna know why? Because this tiny, little word speaks volumes. Because it says “mine” like nothing else. It says commitment, it says married, it says endgame.

The most powerful goodbye in the history of the whole series. There are a lot of ways to say goodbye and we actually watched many goodbye scenes since the beginning of the show. But an extra-dimensional one? This is like the ultimate goodbye. One of them can’t even see, hear or touch the other. That’s why when Elena can actually feel Damon’s touch, that little moment is all the more heartbreaking. For a moment they connected, they defied death and they found each other. Two people saying goodbye without actually being able to do so. Once again, is there anything more tragically beautiful than that?

  When has Stelena ever got something even remotely like any of that? Never. The same way they never got any season final parallels (or even parallels in general, for that matter). Speaking of which, here are some of them that came to my mind:

1x22: Damon tells “Elena” that he came to Mystic Falls in order to destroy it, and yet found himself wanting to protect it. 5x22: Damon destroys Mystic Falls and saves it at the same time.

2x22: Stefan risks his life to save Damon, Elena chooses to go to Damon. 5x22: Damon risks his life to save Stefan, Elena chooses to stay by Damon’s side.

2x22: “I’m here until the very end, I’m not leaving you”. 5x22: “I can’t leave without him”.·        

2x22: “If I had chosen differently, I wouldn’t have met you”. 5x22: “You're by far the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my 173 years on this earth”.

2x22: Elena takes Damon’s hand while he’s dying. 5x22: Damon takes Elena’s hand while they’re both going to die.

3x22: “I can’t think about always, all I can think about is right now”. 5x22: “Do you see a future with me, Damon? Because that’s all I see”.·        

3x22: Elena dies in a car accident. 5x22: Damon dies in a car accident (with Elena). 

2x22, 3x22 and 5x22: Elena has to say goodbye to Damon, but she never actually does it. Stefan and Elena never got a goodbye scene, not even when he supposedly got the goodbye.

  My point is, if there were still doubts about what or who this story is about, I’m sorry but those doubts don’t have a reason to exist anymore. Damon and Elena are it. The writers never went that far with any other couple, certainly not with Stelena. Stefan and Elena didn’t even share a single interaction during this finale. Was there a finale in which Damon and Elena didn’t get to interact at all? No, in fact the season finales were all about them. This season finale in particular? This was the turning point and now there is no going back.

I need to talk to someone who actually understands that "The Vampire Diaries" is not all about Damon and Elena. I need to talk to someone who cares about other things over that and cry not because Damon told Elena that she's the love of his life and now he's gone, but because Stefan lost his brother and nobody gave a shit about it. I know you're here, guys. Let's cry together.

I feel so bad. I can't think about anything else but Damon. He died because he's that selfish, because he wanted to bring back his brother and everyone he has lost. I don't think I will ever recover. I know he will come back, what kind of show would be without him? I still can't stop crying, even though I knew this moment would have arrived.
