so what remains as the only conclusion that makes sense is that the show/bonnie want elena to feel bad because she's enjoying it. which is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AWFUL ON SO MANY LEVELS. she doesn't kill them, she doesn't ~damage them, everything she does is take a bit of their blood. (and mind you, she's not being judged for taking their blood, she's being judged for enjoying it.)
Bonnie was quite the buzzkill this episode, right? And I think the problem wasn't just that Elena was enjoying herself when she took blood, it was that she was enjoying herself with Damon. Because we all know what a bad boy that Damon is.
I have a vampire binary in my head, where they're either Louis-Stefan-Angel vampires or Lestat-Damon-Spike vampires, and in a thesis I was writing I called the Lestat-Damon-Spike vampires the "revelers," and Damon's speech to Bonnie pretty much was exactly what I would expect and want a reveler to say. I'm totally Team Revelers instead of Team Reluctants (Louis-Stefan-Angel vampires).
And EXACTLY that bit of Stefan-meta. He totally will lose his soul will become a ripper if he enjoys being a vampire.
But can we take a moment to just ENJOY Nina/Elena's giant smile during the blood orgy? SO ADORABLE!
