“Maybe if I had met you first…” ”Maybe.” Damon knew that she had met him first but he didn’t tell her because he respected her decision to want to be with Stefan. That man deserves all the happiness in the world.
50 miles separated Damon and Elena from each other. Damon was about to die because Alaric was beating the hell out of him. Elena was about to die because Matt accidentally drove both of them off the Wickery bridge. Elena died but her death saved Damon’s life because vamp!Alaric’s life was tied to hers. Elena died but Damon saved her because it was his blood that she had in her system. Despite the distance they kept each other alive. How awesome is that?
I love how he was so sweet to her, even back then - when he was a "monster". Remember this is circa season ONE. God, the fact he never brought this up is so selfless Their connection was instant, they talked like they we're old friends. It took him 10 seconds to realize she wasn't Katherine, while it took Stefan WEEKS. When he compelled her, it was the sweetest thing "I want you to get everything you're looking for." That is beautiful :') I love Damon SO much. BTW, they were flirting SO HARD ;)
@@aditibisht22 well what we were trying to say is some people especially stelena shippers keep saying Delena was not supposed to be endgame, that it came out of no where (eg some say the writers only even considered giving us Delena to please the fans, that Stelena was end game) yet what they fail to understand is Delena I was endgame from the very first episode, it was just a slow burn & you could only notice these moments if you paid attention to detail, for example when Bonnie in the very first episode tells Elena that when she touched her she saw a crow even before we knew about Damon, & then we came to find out that Damon is the man who moved wth the crow & a witch (Bonnie) saw Damon in Elena's life as part of her, & even in the end when Elena is writing in her diary, we see a crow, & I don't think it was just a coincidence that they put that crow in the ending. I'm not sure I explained it to the best, but hope u got what I'm tryin to say.
“You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, an adventure, and even a little danger.” C’mon you can see how much they’re meant for each other. The atmosphere from when Stefan and Elena first met, than when they both first met. They smiled do quickly, and flirted so quickly. And can we acknowledge the fact that it took Damon like 5 seconds to figure out she wasn’t Katherine, and it took Stefan months?😂 shows how much Damon loves woman, and knows the difference between them.
"Damon do you remember when we first met? (...) I almost let you kiss me then, before i even knew your name, when you just came drifting out of the darkness." - Elena to Damon (Midnight)
I don't get why people say this isn't who Damon is? It is exactly who he is. When he sees a girl he wants he sweet talks her always. Also Damon "stalked Elena even in season 1, you could tell he felt something for her. The crow always watching her and he would always just appear out of nowhere. yes they built on the story but there were moments there From the very beginning.
*parents pull up seeing elena talking to a man who suddenly disappears* mom: who was that man you were talking to? elena: what man? dad: there was a guy talking to you and he just disappeared elena: what
Ya know, when she asks him "So, what do you want?", he looks astonished. Almost looks like no one has ever asked him that before, and he has no idea how to respond. Anyone else see that?
Many of you might think, Damon's a bad guy...u know what may be he is.... its our own perspective...he does evrything out of love..and his story is truly phenomenal..
Lol, I love how Damon is lying on the road waiting for some innocent person to almost run him over, get out of the car, and be like 'oh sir im so sorry' so he can eat them lol :) oh yeah, and DELENA
That scene makes perfect sense when you go back to the Pilot episode! Don't forget about the crow guys aka Damon! We see it with Elena and Bonnie, even before we met Stefan.
I'm glad someone else followed the series,,,I've always told my friends Delena didn't just come from no where like some people love to believe...they built this ship from the word go...I always felt like us seeing the craw with Elena before Stefan wasn't just a coincidence.
@@trixietesfaye6424 of course Delena didn't come from nowhere. This couple is all about the building up and the slow burn, their journey from enemies to friends to lovers! Actually Stelena did come from nowhere. They meet, say i love you and sleep together in like 10 episodes.
I love how he compels her to get everything she's looking for - and throughout all seasons she ends up finding herself next to him and by each other's side - beautiful!
I think that it's really a love story between Damon and Elena. The time spent with Stefan allowed her to unveil Damon's different layers. I feel that Stefan is more of a key character necessary to unfold the romance between Damon and Elena.
1:31 it's like she fell in love with him right there... I'm so glad we got to see this flashback. I love them together and they really did have a love like no other. I know it consumed me!!!
can we just take a minute to notice here that even at this first time that they've met elena cared to ask him about himself? "what do you want?" its just like when she was the only one who noticed that he loved katherine too... THEY ARE SO ENDGAME IT KILLS MEEEEE
That was for show to anger and scare Stefan. This issue was clarified wayyyy back in the beginning of season 1 when it shows you Damon stroking Elena's cheek as Stefan is describing him as a 'monster' It actually makes perfect sense
to me this scene points to delena being together in the end... if you think about it, showing that they met first is completely unnecessary...BUT the writers decided to add another layer to their relationship and have them share such a special intimate moment... they consciously made delena more extraordinary
totally agree! there's something magical and deep in the way these two look at each other and talk and feel and understand each other in any momento they spent together!
And the sad part about all of this is, is that when Elena tried to give Damon a legit reason for why it was Stefan and not him is that all she could say was “Maybe if you and I had met first...” when Damon and Elena had, indeed actually met first. He could have said right then and there that they had met. He could have told her that he compelled her. But he didn't, he continued to let her believe that Elena had actually met Stefan first.
This scene really got me. I had to pause the video and calm down `cause I really didn`t expect this.He didn`t know what a mistake he was doing in that moment. And she doesn`t know, nobody knows just him, so painful, I really feel for him.
Completely agree with you - I was one hundred percent ready to be done with the show when she picked Stefan, but then this scene gave me hope for endgame!!!
Take note that when Elena was talking about Stefan she ends it by saying “And that's what love SHOULD be, You SHOULD love the person who makes you feel alive” as if shes trying to convince herself that that SHOULD be enough, that that is the reason she fell in love with him- that that is the reason she should continue to love him. Not only that, she continues to say, “The problem is Damon... When I'm with him he consumes me...”
they both had flashbacks of that day it must mean something , their first met was epic and just natural they talked to each other like they had known each other for years , my favourite scene all time
Damon was already touched by Elena here. He let her go ,not coz she was katherine's lookalike but coz of the girl she was (compassionate and most importantly who understands him)
I cried when Damon didn't get a chance to say what he wants and double cried when he compelled her and said, "I want you to get everything you're looking for." I really want Elena remember this!
"You want a love that consumes you." Earlier in a different episode when Nina is explaining her love to both of them she says something around the lines of, "Damon.... He just consumes me." Oh dang.
I was so happy when I saw this scene! You can feel the connection between them: Damon knows at the first sight what Elena is looking for in her love life. I think this season final was a Delena episode: she first met Damon (but she doesn't remember), she said she choose Stefan because he was the first.That's not what you call love. Elena will be a vampire and it's gonna be interesting to see how she'll deal with about the beautiful scene between her and Damon.
I love how Damon compels himself out of her life. Because he doesn't have to know her. Because he wants her to get everything she's looking for. Because she doesn't deserve to have a vampire bringing darkness into her life. Then her parents die, and Damon becomes part of her life anyway because he's everything she's looking for. Fate at its finest.
Elena "So, Damon. Tell me, what is it that I want?" Damon "You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, an adventure and even a little danger." Elena "So, what do you want?" Damon "Uhh.." Elena "It's my parents" Damon "I want you to get everything you're looking for, but right now I want you to forget that this happened... can't have people knowing I'm in town yet. Good night Elena."
Right when I saw her walking down the street talking to Bonnie I knew what was going on and I started balling! I never get so emotional over shows, maybe it's because I read the first 4 books before it was a show so I already loved it. But god, they met first! It's great, Elena will remember now that she's a vampire. Delena finally has a chance! :):):) I cry everytime I watch this.
I love this scene so much! it was just so unexpected in the midst of that intense finale. I think people are putting too much emphasis on the "who she met first" thing. Elena is not going to decide who to end up with based on that. what's significant to me in this scene is how well Damon reads her, and how well they click right from the get go.
It's cute how even though Damon knows he met her first, he let her decide between him and Stefan without telling her about this moment, it just proves how much he loves her and how he wants her to be happy, no matter how much it hurts him... Besides, this scene would've been completely pointless if the writers didn't want to get Delena fans all excited... Ahhh, I can't wait till season 4!
When they first met. 😍😂❤ While Damon maybe didn't initially go through with his typical nightly routine due to her resemblance to Katherine, I still think that while talking to her and learning a little bit about her as Elena herself, he was able to show a real affection for her. Enough to not want to hurt/kill her. And though the whole stalking thing with the crow, and even himself was still a bit creepy, it still was all just for intrigue (imo.) Same with Stefan. Sure again, their initial reason for doing so was because Elena looked like Katherine, but it's not like either of them were out to get her. (Meaning Elena.) So, after Stefan rescued her and after discovering the real first time Damon met Elena, I feel that their stalking was about intrigue and a feeling of the need to keep watch over her. ❤
Everything he said she wants: Damon CONSUMES her, Matt and her were not PASSIONATE all their road trips is an ADVENTURE and him being a vampire is A LITTLE DANGEROUS only because he would never hurt her.
Damon has a heart. And he does love. The problem is that when everyone was so busy saying how Stefan cared too much, they failed to realize that Damon was the one who let his feeling control him.
“When Elena becomes a vampire, she’s going to have to get a bit of an edge - and her darker side will inevitably be drawn to Damon. I was surprised when she chose Stefan, but once I saw the way it all ended, it made perfect sense. Stefan is the boy that she loved as a teenage girl. When she has time to think about “always,” instead of “right now,” things will change.” - Carina Mackenzie
A lot of things he does for her goes unnoticed and he never asked anything from her. He never even tried to pressure her to say she loved him (Well, not after his drunken incident) when he knew, along with everyone else, that she loved him.
Damon's voice sounds so sad when he says: 'I want you to get everything you're looking for.' He has been selfless and so human since the first time he met Elena. The only reason why he killed so many people and was really bad-ass after that scene, was because Katherine broke his heart. Damon's just a lonely man with a broken heart. Twice. I kinda hate what the producers do to him.
very good comparison. I thought the same thing in that scene. Stefan love is pure but also blind in the sense he always makes her make the decision without questioning no matter how dangerous it is but Damon is different and well always argue or find another way, he love for her goes beyond boundaries, he will always choose her :3
I love how even though this is the time when Damon was supposedly all bad and mean and obsessed with Kathrine he still has time to care and be nice to Elena and not because she looks like Kathrine but he seriously seams to be interested in HER!
First time i saw this I just kept screaming "THEY MET FIRST! THEY MET FIRST!" Thinking in my head about how Elena said to Damon "Maybe if you and I had met first." I can't wait for her to remember this and when he told her he loved her for the first time! I'm dying over here! Can't be just skip to the fall for season 4?
I was watching this episode today and I KNEW as soon as she said she probably would have loved Damon more if she’d met him first, that they would throw this twist in the story.
There's been a few moments these last two seasons where I just think "oh god why am I watching this" then there's such well written moments like this and I forgive everything
