"You’ve got to be prepared for the names they are going to call you compared to your male peers… You will be a floozy and a slattern. He will be virile and a ladies’ man. You will be a freakshow, a retching wretch, a sloppy drunk. He will be charismatic, vainglorious, a ferocious drunk and Dionysian. You will be indiscriminate and desperate. He will be generous, tortured and driven."  - Courtney Love, the differing attitudes towards genders of musicians

"I do see Stefan’s willingness to erase Elena as the death knell for their romantic relationship. Because what he said in that moment is that she doesn’t matter to him if she isn’t in love with him, and that is something Damon has never said – not even for a second – no matter how not-chosen he has been – no matter how much her words have hurt him. He has never left her. He has never really wanted to. He couldn’t if he tried, to be honest. The really important thing about Damon/Elena is that she matters so much to him in such a fundamental way, that her friendship was enough for him, even if his heart broke about it every day. Stefan could have that friendship with her, if he wanted it. Matt has it, because he decided it was worth having, because he is fucking beautiful and wonderful and kind and decent. And I can’t help contrasting his memorial to Elena Gilbert ,”a fun girlfriend and an amazing friend,” with Stefan’s all or nothing attitude to her now. Yes, he’s hurting. I get that. But Elena said, under compulsion to tell the truth, that she still loved him. That should mean something to him, whether she’s in love with his brother or not."  - Rophydoes {x}

"The looking glass, so shiny and new; how quickly the glamour fades
I start spinning, slipping out of time… Was that the wrong pill to take?"  -

ohmypreciousgirl:

What we wanted to do in the writers’ room was to give Stefan and Elena the most human, honest, and respectable breakup between a couple that had been that important for so long, and to put a real end to that, so that there was a freedom for her to now give in to this passion and this interest that’s been brewing for over two and a half seasons.

Why is being a loner characterised as a ‘social disorder’? It makes me never want to speak to anyone again. It makes me annoyed to be labelled as ‘antisocial’/ socially anxious. I am in fact very comfortable in social situations, I just have a truthful and realistic view of the meaning of friendship and relationship - That you cannot get on ‘really well’ with everyone, you cannot even really ‘like’ everyone (though most people pretend to.) In reality, each individual probably finds they don’t have a real ‘connection’/ chemistry with no more than 5 real people at any one time in their lives.

I feel like if you don’t get on really well with someone, there is little point in spending time socialising with them. Most events are full of people talking about nothing and this makes me feel even worse than staying at home, alone. Or perhaps I am just jealous of the people talking about nothing and cant step out of this godforsaken bubble that makes me want to never go out again.

Some people need time alone to process thoughts/ events and some people don’t. I will probably always be this way. Every boyfriend I have ever had has been a loner. I wish people wouldn’t make introversion into a personality flaw.

"And at this moment, as Giles continues to speak, he is suddenly DUBBED INTO FRENCH. We can see him talking, but we can’t understand a word any more than Xander can, unless we speak French, in which case la di da aren’t we intellectual, I’m not Joe DICTIONARY, all RIGHT?"  - Joss Whedon’s script for the Buffy episode, Restless

"Girls should be loud or fucked up or I usually don’t talk to them. Except if they are quiet and fucked up in which case they are even better in some ways."  - Courtney Love

"And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day"  -

"Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. One day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before, like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with."  - Gillian Anderson

"Ian is a better kisser, but Joseph really knows how to make you feel like a woman."  - Daniel Gillies

Here’s the thing about Damon and Elena. I’m the first to admit that they are, at the very least, Count and Countess of Fucked Up Ships. But there are some ways in which they’re disturbingly functional.

You know what rocks? The sheer trust Elena has in Damon. She chooses Stefan, over and over. He is the person she wants to be with, there can be no doubt about that by now. But the fact remains that she and Damon are close. Like, closer than Stefan and Elena have ever been. Because when she’s vulnerable, when she’s messy, and gross, and terrified, and weak, and lost, and wishing herself dead… she trusts Damon with all of that. She lays it all on him, because she knows he can take it, and she knows he will carry her through it, no matter what. That, to me, is extremely romantic.

One of the most beautiful things about Damon, for Elena, is that she’s not afraid to hurt him. This makes it so much easier for her to be honest with him, and really, to me that’s a hallmark of the Damon/Elena relationship: Honesty. Remember how he wanted it to be real, you guys? That wasn’t just a throwaway line. That was a mission statement.

The keg-stand killed me. That was precisely what was missing from 322. And her cheeky little grin at Rebekah afterwards was perfection. And last but not least, her getting her fangs out during foreplay. I was floored. It was such a bold move, especially considering that anyone who knows Stefan would know it wasn’t likely to turn him on.

And it really, really didn’t. See how fast he flipped her over and into defanged submission? Poor Stefan. As valiantly as he’s trying to pretend otherwise, Elena being a nice human girl went right to the heart of why she makes him happy. Elena not being anything like Katherine, went right to the heart of why she makes him happy. And there is no way that fangy pin-down move didn’t give him flashbacks to Katherine.
