Alright, Delena. Now when I first began watching The Vampire Diaries I was totally into the whole SE thing. I loved Stefan and I thought nothing could go wrong with him. And then I saw episode 11, when Damon saved Elena from her car after the accident (or crash more like, I don't think it was meant to be an accident). I sorta knew it was coming when Damon kissed "Elena" (Katherine) on the porch. Of course it wouldn't have been abnormal if it really had been Elena.
I began understanding how Damon truly was a good person inside and how he, like anyone else, deserves love. Damon cares ultimately more about anyone else, above himself. Elena truly begins to see Damon for who he really is and that is what lead me to change my Stelena Solves All to Delena Deserves Endgame. Elena can actually SEE Damon, something she has been able to work on since Season 1. With Stefan she simply saw his looks and how he was able to say a few words and Elena was his. Yet, Elena still does not fully see Stefan. She sees the shell he has created for himself. A shell he liked to believe was who he really was. And since Elena "fell in love" with Stefan when his shell got broken by Stefan, she still did not see who he really was.
Now in Season 3, we see who Stefan really is and, I think I and maybe even "WE" are beginning to see Elena slowly understanding who Stefan is. The more she understands who he is and was, the more she sees Damon is truly for her.
Elena has had three seasons to develop a true friendship with Damon and we see this is quickly becoming an attraction (love).
Bonnie and Caroline are not happy about Elena and Damon at all as they themselves were only ever able to see Damon with HIS shell covering him.
Damon's Shell = Keeps his emotions to himself because he is so scared of revealing his love to anyone after Katherine. Damon is very often rejected, resented and unaccepted. This was why he kept his killing shell on. He wanted to show everyone that he did not care about how people felt about him.
This is why Caroline and Bonnie do not understand Damon. They do not try accept him or get to know him at all and this is why they are worried for Elena. Yet Elena sees Damon and that is why anything her best friends say she completely blocks out. And this is not a bad thing. At all. It shows she is truly accepting him.
And that is why I believe Delena should be endgame.
Because Damon deserves love, and acceptance and not to be rejected or resented for ONCE in his life.
Damon deserves more than anyone else on the show to get what he wants and frankly what he needs. He needs Elena, and Elena needs Damon.
