A great tweet to JP from a DE fan and JP's reply!

posted by Rana1693

I was of those who were offended, not only by that tweet, but also by other interviews & We had a discussion about whether Julie Plec was disrespectful to Delena fans in her tweet about us being "baffling", So a DE Fan Tweeted Julie.

DE Fan:

Billabong2011 @julieplec: "I don't care how many tweets this takes, it has to be said. I hope you know that there are some of us out there who ship delena..
NOT because we love damon inspite of everything he's done, but because elena falling in love with him says so much more about.. UNCONDITIONAL love. it's irrational. it's senseless. it is a DESTRUCTIVE force. *Romeo & Juliet? Cathy & Heathcliff?* and you just don't see many shows and/or stories take that route. with damon and elena, so much potential is there.. to make it happen. now this doesn't mean i don't think damon can't find redemption - isn't that what makes us human? -.. but the aspect of their love, while it humanizes damon, it also is telling, from elena's view, NOT that she's blinded.. but that there's an unconditional investment into her relationship with damon that is outside of her control. THERE'S your impact and please know that i love and adore you and this show!!! just don't lost hope in us fans...AND in the potential for delena ;]"

& this is what JP said:

" @Billabong2011 beautifully stated, thank you. A very powerful and epic point of view. "

I just wanna know your thoughts about This.

Cause I'm pit confused with her and Kevin one time they say That DE will happen & We just have to wait like when Kevin said "I don't just want to throw them together tomorrow. I'd be sad. I want to see the kiss, I want to see the sweaty palms, I want to see it all go down."
Then Julie Say That she was baffled by the Delena fans & the reason why ppl love or ship or want Damon & Elena together Like seriously, WTH!! They both don't make any sense at all!!!!!

Honesty, I think she really shouldn't have said anything or generalize us all, It was a bad moment and a bad judgment call on her part. I really hope this was sort of misunderstanding from her!!!!!

jendelena I think what Julie Plec is saying is that we can't just overlook everything Damon does and there are some fans that keep pressuring her to put Damon with Elena now but she wants to build them up. In addition to that some fans are saying that Elena is not worthy of Damon and that she is being mean to Damon, that is absurd Elena gave Damon a chance when no one else did. So how can Elena not be worthy of Damon. I see some of the tweets people send her and all they care about is Damon's feelings and they never consider Elena's. That is why I say that those fans ship Delena but they are Pro Damon which means they don't really care about Elena. A Pro Delena fan would never say things like that. So I'm glad that Delena fan got her message across so that Julie Plec does not think that all Delena fans think that way because the Delena fan base is massive but there are varying degrees to which we ship Delena and some only care about Damon and that is the be all end all. So Julie Plec is saying that what Damon did was even worst than what he normally does especially due to the fact that he did it to someone who cares for him and for that reason Elena has a right to hate Damon right now and people need to understand that. That is what she is saying but even with all that being said some fans are really pressuring her for Delena right now. So I can understand where she's coming from but at the sametime it is unfortunate for Delena fans because everyone thinks we all think the same way everyone sees us as shallow so we basically have to keep proving that we're not shallow and we don't overlook everything Damon does. Julie Plec writers really awesome Damon and Elena scenes look how many nice ones we got in season1, they are just building Damon and Elena relationship up and its great that they don't want to just throw Damon and Elena together to be a fling and they actually see their relationship worth enough for it to be built up.

Rana1693 I totally agree with you, I guess I find it hard to hold it against her, because I can only imagine what kinds of things she gets from some fans, I just dont think JP thinks much of the DE fan-base because she thinks we're ALL crazy obsessed fans. And that's why I loved how that girl wrote such a great text to her, telling her why we love Damon/Elena and the show, and that she actually acknowledged that there are some brains in the DE!!!!

Through_MyBlood I felt offended by what Julie Plec said and I want to thank the person who tweeted that cause she/he spoke my mind <3

merzycullen nicely said! agree w/ all of u! :D xoxo

delenasalvatore You're not the only one who is very confused by Julie's response. I thought it was such a horrible thing to hear from someone in her shoes. A comment like that which seems to validate a random person's view of an entire fanbase: 'Yes, you're right, they ARE crazy' - was unprofessional and she should not have said it at all. I'm baffled by HER. I understand that she wants to know what fans think of DE and the show, but I'm not sure if I like the idea of her reading EVERYTHING people say about DE. It's OK if it's a well-balanced argument like the above, but I hate the thought she's getting the wrong idea about why we want DE just from a minority of fans. I know it was very tactless and poor judgement on her part, but the public relations fiasco which ensued her little reply to 'myridehome' has definitely altered my estimation of her as an executive producer. I don't know what to think anymore, or what I should believe when she or Kevin talk about DE in interviews.

BihterVeBehlul @Delenasalvatore: I completely agree!!

Anna_JH I agree with Delenasalvatore (as always!) I've always been on the fence when it comes to Kevin and Julie's ambiguous statements, but after that..... I'm just shocked. It feels like she posted that without batting an eyelid. If producers are shameless in writing something like that, then for me, it seems pretty clear they have no intention of making DE happen... and are proud to pretty much rub that in our faces. If she ever reads any of this then way to go Julie! You've pretty much lost a viewer...

inuyashagirl82 I will be happy just as long as they dont try to kill off Delena completely. that would be wrong. Damon might go out with this Rose but he loves Elena and only her. He compels all these other girls but he didnt or doesnt want to compel Elena into loving him. She might be in Denial but she loves him too. why doesnt she think SE fans are crazy as well. Ive heard some fans say they would stop watching if DE happend. does that sound reasonable? no they are just as passionate as we are. I still love DE and hope they can understand why we love them too.

loveofdelena i just LOVE that damon is flawed. and yes, selfish at times too,...and that for me is the most unique thing about him. its what drew me to him in the first place, and its what i love about him. its that he is one 100% REAL. nothing with him is sugar coated, damon was such a relatable character because of his humane characteristics. which is why i was so broken up about how the writers handled him last season. they completely stripped away everything that made damon well, damon. he was very out of character last season, almost , (dare i say it,) stefan like...*cringe*....and that is NOT damon. not our flawed anti hero, who worked his way in to our minds and our hearts. I MISS YOU DAMON!!! I WANT TO DELENA BACK SO BADLY!!!
