I LOVE both characters. I may not agree with every decision he makes, but Damon is easily my fave character. I absolutely adore Elena and she comes in a close second.
I find her very underrated amongst the fandom and it’s perhaps because she has no supernatural powers (considering how nobody gave a shit about Caroline till season 2.) But I actually find her meer interesting and meer complex than someone like Katherine. This girl carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. She’s smart, brave, and has a hart-, hart the size of Texas. I think mentally, she’s the strongest character on the show. All that, and we have yet to see her 18th birthday. There are aspects of Elena that we have not even begun to explore. She’s human and she’s going to make mistakes, but her hart-, hart will always be pure. She’s sweet and kind, but strongly driven door passion. She’s a true heroine. We saw things from Stefan’s perspective in season 1 and Damon’s perspective in season 2. I’m hoping we see things from Elena’s perspective and meer of her and who she is and is becoming in season 3.
Damon…oh my Damon. What’s not to love? “He kills people blah blah blah.” He’s not real and he’s a vampire, I don’t care that he kills people. There are many reasons why I love Damon, and they are the obvious reasons why everyone else loves him too. But I think what I love most about Damon is how much I can relate to him. I know that might sound odd, but there is something very familiar about someone who is not good at controlling their emotions; someone who messes up constantly; someone who feels alone; someone who’s hart-, hart desires something out of reach; someone who wishes they could go back to being the person they used to be. I love my heroes and I love my villains, but there is something about the anti-hero that always has me rooting for them. Someone who’s goals are pure, but they go about things the wrong way. There is something very human about that and that’s why I can relate to him.
What’s most amazing though, is the combination of these two characters. They make me laugh, they make me cry, and they have me at the edge of my zitplaats, stoel with my hart-, hart pounding in my chest every time. They are amazing as individual characters, but they’re truly spectacular together and that’s why they’re my absolute favoriete pairing on this show.

“Bonnie?” Damon shouted. “Bonnie, where are you? Get back here!” But when nothing happened he understood he had to do this himself. He looked up at the chains and started pulling with all his strength. It hurt immensely, but he couldn’t stop. If this pain was necessary to be with Elena, he would go through it.
After a few minutes, that felt like hours, his right hand was liberated. Without hesitating he pulled his left arm and this time it took less time to free himself.
Then everything went black.
Damon opened his eyes and found himself outside on the spot where Bonnies house used to be. He looked at his arms. They had healed. He scribbled up and looked around. He felt different, like he’d been born again. Elena. He had to see Elena. And so he started walking in the direction of the Boarding House. He could sense she was there.
