WHEN YOU’RE GONE HE’S THE ONE, TUCKS ME IN AT NIGHT.

“real writers write every day” real writers say they’re going to write then spend the whole day scrolling through instagram

bears…kinda look like dogs don’t they?

The Vampire Diaries (4x15 - 6x15) “Do you think that you’re the only one who get’s to escape grief?”

What's your favourite Elejah moment in canon, and smth you feel is a wasted opportunity for them?

Their first meeting is my favourite Elejah moment in canon.

She's just afraid he's going to kill her. He's just shocked to see a human Petrova doppelganger before him that he speeds ahead to smell her. She's even more terrified as he goes down the curve of her neck and inhales her scent, like someone putting their claim ahead way before the negotiations have even started.

When he realizes that the doppelganger in front of him is indeed human, he steps behind and looks at her face and right into her eyes to assert his dominance.

The pure and pleasant satisfaction in his eyes when he looks at Elena like he's amused that she thinks she can do anything in this situation and at her fear and also at the fact that he's battling all his old memories of spending time with Katerina and Tatia. All of his feelings charging through the surface of his self-control. He's just really amused, and so are we.

And then, she's just haunted by him.

Their first meeting left a serious impact on her.

Another favourite scene is when they make their first deal.

He's just grinning when Jenna closes the door. The amusement in his face is just so evident and it makes me laugh. And Elena's just so bloody startled and caught off-guard that it makes him even happier but he tries to contain it with a pleasant smile.

And she's very... frustrated to see him. Neither angry nor scared. Her frustration is evident here.

She's just crossed her hands against her chest in a subconscious attempt to shield herself. She hates herself to feel so helpless to do anything, even call someone. She looks at him with complete frustration and disdain that he barged into her house and caught her by surprise. This, in turn, makes Elijah amused.

Look at him. His eyes. His face may be blank but the delight is evident, it's sparkling in his eyes. He's just loving this, talking to the latest Petrova edition, spending time with her, discussing, making deals. He's even more amazed when Elena makes a deal with him.

And I have more!

This one, in TVD S3, is when the Mikaelson brothers have dinner with the Salvatore brothers.

He clicks his tongue, just to hide his disappointment about the fact that Elena—lovely Elena—hasn't come to the dinner. Klaus is just delighting himself over the love triangle, but a part of Elijah's just so disappointed that he wouldn't be seeing her that night. Especially since he just returned from being daggered.

Another one is their encounter in the cabin back in S2, when Elena is about to dagger herself.

He's just amused that she's trying something like this. But over here below...

A part of him doesn't want her to stab herself. He's just so afraid that he's just anticipating her movements. Trying to make sure she doesn't get hurt. But a part of him looks her in such admiration that Defan could never even accomplish. He just admires her so much for pulling off a stunt like this, that too, in front of a freaking Original.

I'm just going to list here more since I'm nearing my GIF limit.

TVD S2 'Klaus' — Their entire conversation. When she comes back after talking with Jenna. He looks up at her from the fireplace with such admiration and something that almost comes to the brink of true love.

TVD S3 — Elijah saves Elena from Rebekah. He's just so happy to see her that he tries to hide his smile. And she gives him a knowing one because she considers him as a wonderful friend and he considers her more than that #angstpotential

TVD S3 E15 — Your compassion is a gift, Elena. Carry it with you as I will carry my regret, always and forever.

TVD S3 'Dangerous Liasons' — The Mikaelson Ball, when they're walking together, God, the director captured such a precious shot.

TVD S4 — Their kiss. He compliments her HAIR and I died right there. When he does that, he knows that it's Elena because Katherine would never even dye her hair, for fuck's sake, she's got her curls, they're enough.

TVD S3 Finale — Elijah returns to Mystic Falls. He's very much happy to see her, his eyes are really bright. But the matter at hand is much more serious. And he gives her the choice to decide everything. He leaves it all up to her. He gives her free will and this just shows he's such a wonderful choice for Elena than the Salvawhores.

Looking at all of these scenes, Elejah has so much material and chemistry and intensity (just like Klaroline!) and all of these scenes prove that they have been wasted by the writers.

In S4, after their kiss, Elena could've turned on her humanity and she and Elijah would've walked around the city. Out of nowhere, Elena could've asked Elijah whether he kissed her because she was Katherine or because he recognized her. Elijah just stays silent and there are tears in Elena's eyes. Elijah's eyes widen and he hastily spills that he kissed her not because she was Katherine. Elena just goes 'Because you wanted to?' and Elijah doesn't reply, he can't reply. Elena realises everything and all she tells is that she wants to get away from the Salvatores, start a new life. Elijah offers her a chance to break the sire bond. They make a deal, shake hands and depart to New Orleans.

Probably from there, TO could continue with Elena's story side-by-side, not given much importance to it, of course. She could've said her goodbyes to Bonnie and Caroline, leaving the two of them to become the leads on TVD. On TO, Elejah and Klayley could've developed and become something serious. Stakes would've been higher and Elena's presence on TO could've guaranteed Hayley, Elijah and Klaus's survival.

God, the S4 kiss and the aftermath itself was such a wasted opportunity. There could've been so much done *sigh* what were the writers doing in their room besides making stupid-ass decisions?

Anyway, thank you for your questions <33
