Re: Epic Damon and Elena kiss.

Clever move, HBO.
They clearly saved Gendry’s abs for the very last scene, ‘cause they know the screechy annoying fangirls wouldn’t have been able to process what else was going on if they had shown naked Gendry in the midst of all the other characters’ drama. Topless Gendry wasn’t a big deal for me, but apparently it is so very important for a young female character to ogle Joe Dempsie’s hot abs. Never mind the fact that Arya was actually admiring Gendry’s physical strength as a potential warrior, and not so much his sex appeal. But whatevs, all I care about is that she was teaching Gendry how to wield a sword and become a proper fighter. That’s my girl.
And that’s how people should see this ship.
The women are the strong ones, truly.
I used to love Stefan. I may I not have liked him with Elena, because hey, Delena is my OTP, but I still loved Stefan. Whether it was deliberate or not, this last half of the season, he has been by far the most jealous, selfish and insufferable character on the show. I can barely stand him anymore. He has made Elena feel guilty about loving Damon, pressured her in ways unimaginable that are borderline emotional abuse and manipulation. He tried to use Ric's death as a way to get to Elena. I just have to say, even season 1 Damon wasn't like this. I'm sorry for the rant, I just needed to get that out.
