Exactly....it's impossible, and for me it is the intensity of Damon's love for this girl that made Delena so special to begin with, because it was a very long time before Elena was able to admit she loved Damon and we were already head over heels in love with Delena ourselves by then. If they render it meaningless by putting Damon with any other love interest than the entire show makes no sense at all and was a waste of all those years slowly cultivating this one special relationship. It just makes zero sense to do it so I keep hoping (against hope) that they know what they are doing and would never do such a thing to Delena. |

“I was supposed to grow up, decide if I wanted to start a family and have kids. I was supposed to decide all those things along the way. I was supposed to have a lifetime of those choice”
—
“He started talking about college and marriage”
—
“Got into a fight with my boyfriend”
“About what? If you don’t mind me asking”
“Life…future…he’s got it all mapped out”
“And you don’t want it?”
—-
“I can’t think about always. All I can think about is right now”
—
Elena never “always want to have kids”. She wanted the choice of having to decide if she wanted them some day in the future. She was terrified of the future. Before the accident and even more after the accident.
That was one of her layering factors.
BUT OF COURSE
This show would strip that from her too because it doesn’t know her or anyone.
And she gave up the cure to Stefan in season 4 and when her brother was about to fade away into oblivion again to her knowledge and Katherine was trying to kill her she forced the cure on her and chose to live which was huge because Elena saw no life after her brother.
This show is a goner. It stopped making sense overall after s4

Yeah I think there's just going to be more retcons and things that don't make sense as the show continues on as they had to prematurely get rid of Elena's character before the show ended so what else can they do but change and retcon things to fit their agenda.
So I've already prepared myself to hate the ending and instead of getting upset at the characters since obviously it's more of the writing than anything tbh and they'll be completely OOC and not themselves anymore anyways, I'm just going to do as I and the rest of the fandom did the one manga that ended in a money grabbing way. Ignored the last chapter and epilogue, pretended it didn't exist, and continued shipping and loving the incarnation of the characters before the writers screwed it over. |

an-all-consuming-love via tumblr:
If the season ends with elena taking the cure and leaving damon behind I will be so pissed. Not only for the obvious but because it would make no sense!
If I loved someone as much as elena loves damon and vice versa it wouldn’t matter if I was stuck as a vampire or a f***ing wombat for the rest of my life! What good is the chance to be human and have a family if you can’t live that life with the only person alive that you want to live it with.
Women settle down with military men all the time accepting everything that comes with it from from moving around and being apart for months or years at a time to the very real risk of loosing them. They accept and take those risks and make those sacrifices BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEM.
It would honestly be so OOC for Elena to leave Damon for a human life without him. That says that she loves being human more than Damon and that’s just bulls***.
Ugh just really hoping the writers will do DE justice but this episode certainly didn't help their case on that front.

A bit of humor amongst all the depression of our couple coming to an end is always good!

Hey guys, it's been a while... haha. But with all the chaos of Nina leaving, I thought I might come around here for a little comfort. I'm sure that you guys are still in as much disbelief as I am over it. I don't understand why they thought continuing the show without Elena would be a good idea. If there's no certainty that Elena will return in the tying up of the series, then I just cannot bring myself to continue to watch the show. It's a sad thing, I never thought this show would go the same route as the books did for me... continuing, but no longer truly as The Vampire Diaries. What am I going to do without Delena? </3

I guess it will all come down to the finale and what Elena's ending turns out to be ...  |

The best scenario is not breaking DE up tragically and managing to keep the relationship in play somehow, i.e. Elena being trapped somewhere and part of season 7 dedicates itself to rescuing/finding a spell or whatever for Elena to free her ad since Nina won't be back, supposedly, the finale can have a flash forward showcasing part of Delena's future, securing endgame. |

I've always loved many characters on this show- and the relationships between them all- but truly without Elena, TVD cannot be the same for me. There will be a giant, gaping hole in the show- not to mention many of the viewer's hearts, because Nina wasn't just some insignificant part of the show- she IS the show. For me, her story was why TVD hit home with me so much so- from the many deaths of loved ones at a young age, her dealing with all that loss she's experienced, her confusion in love, and her growth. So even if other characters had big parts to play in the story, and even if the show technically started as Stefan's story... most of those other characters we've come to know in the show have been Elena's family, friends, her enemies, her lovers- most plots carried out; ultimately all about her struggles, her losses, her victories, it's all been her story. She has always been the centerpiece. But honestly, do you really see them "trapping" Elena somewhere at the end of this season- some other dimension or whatever they could come up with? I mean, that was a pretty big part in this season's story- with Bonnie and Damon having both been trapped. I suppose it's not like they haven't recycled story lines and points before. |

Wow, long time no see! I saw you lurking on twitter and now you're back! We missed you.
As for the ending, we've run the gammut in the DE Spoilers and Speculations thread about all the different options for what they could do with Elena. Some would keep her story going and some wouldn't. I mean with this show anything can happen. Elena dying is about the worst ending I can think of for her so I kind of hope not but some would prefer it to her just not being there and keeping the story alive. They'd rather cut ties with her death. So everyone feels a little bit different about it as well. I've seen some really out there ideas so it's not so easy to conclude what their plans may be but I hope they do Delena and Elena justice with whatever they do. |

I mean, that was a pretty big part in this season's story- with Bonnie and Damon having both been trapped. I suppose it's not like they haven't recycled story lines and points before. In regards to Nina playing a part in next season, I remember bringing up phone calls, of course that's not as ideal but it's hard to think that JP planned that far ahead in season 7 to get Nina to cameo for certain things when they only plan ahead a couple of episodes at a time and scenes get cut/deleted from the final showing. Though I wouldn't mind if somehow they managed to get Elena to show up for a quick scene or something. But that would feel like pouring salt on the wound since she'd only be there for a brief moment when you wish the character could stay longer.
My take on not viewing next season (depending on how this ending goes) while no Delena is a part of it, it also stems from the fact of being fearful of OOC characterizations. Elena who has been so engraved in these characters lives and relationships, well now that has to be written out conveniently. They can't keep Damon mopey or depressed over Elena forever and there could be a possible time skip to further the grieving stage so everyone is 'over it' and can continue on with whatever these other stories to tell, JP mentioned in an interview a while back. Most of Damon's relationships like Alaric/Enzo have been sacrificed in an effort to give Bamon more significance. And Alaric has already flat out stated that Jo and the twins are his life so that tells me he'll hell probably next to no scenes with Damon next episode.
I don't particularly care for Caroline's character, I can only take so much of her lol, so I don't seem that thrilled to see her be on my screen 24/7 as the new heroine. I mean as you mentioned with your take on Elena being gone, it's one thing if this was a character like Jeremy, where the show won't take much of a hit with him gone, but you can't just get one of your main leads who was also part of this relationship that basically carried the entire show (all the foreshadows/slow burns/hints/build ups that the writers gave so much significance to DE's relationship) and then next season have to somehow make all these characters pretend like it never existed. I just can't see the show not being OOC.
Nina leaving is unexpected so I know they're going to try to work with what they got but nonetheless it'll still feel weird and OOC. Even this season the writers had to retcon Damon and Elena's relationship, suddenly making Elena all about wanting a family and kids, something that she hasn't talked about since like season 2. She was comfortable in her vampirism and in no where was there any hints that she was 'struggling' with wanting to be human again. It came out of left field, and now learning about Nina's leave later on in the season we know why.
As for Elena being trapped, it's mainly from a rumor that mentioned something about Kai casting a spell (sleeping) on Elena or something and it's a choice between killing Bonnie to 'wake' her or something like that, it's just a rumor but it's also a way to keep Delena in play.
With the 6x22 ep description, there's a mention of some unexpected guest showing up and thus leaving Elena in terrible jeopardy and it also goes on to state that Damon is forced to make the most difficult decision of his life. There were also some episode stills posted where we see the gang, everyone but Elena, all in a room and staring at Damon and we see other stills of Bonnie/Caroline looking sad.
With these things in mind I think of three possible endings. The unexpected guest causes drama, Elena barely manages to come out of whatever fiasco alive, it's then decided that staying in Mystic is too dangerous and so she gets her goodbye scenes with everyone, Damon's saved for last, Delena angst as the two have to let each other go with promises of always loving each other, and Elena leaves town. This doesn't have to mean that Elena randomly ends up with some other guy. Damon can easily state that once he finishes the big bad drama in Mystic to make sure she's officially safe, he'll come find her.
Two, Elena ends up dying but that's tragic and it's the end of the character in general so there's no hope for any cameo in season 7 at all and it doesn't fit in with the excitement of Nina and the writers wanting to see Elena's epic journey. It doesn't make sense for the writers to be excited for their fans to see their main heroine lead die. So essentially they wasted our times and had her turn into a human just to die, so the character doesn't even get to enjoy the human retcon they had us sit through.
And then that leads to three, unexpected guest, Elena in jeopardy, yada yada. Elena has to be 'sacrificed' somehow to either save everyone, save Bonnie who's possibly casting a spell or gets linked to her or whatever. 6x22 says that Bonnie takes matters into her own hands so we can only assume that means things are going to hit the fan/go wrong or something. So Elena will either be sent to another prison world to keep safe, have some spell cast on her (like the rumored one about Kai's sleeping spell) where she will be essentially preserved until they can find some way to awake her and it can be a goal of season 7.
This scenario just helps keep Delena in play instead of outright ending it cause of course as much as it seems silly to 'only watch for my ship' type of thing, we do have to keep in mind that the Delena fandom has constantly been screwed over countless times and we've waited patiently for years to finally get our ship together and happy but JP constantly pulls the rug out from under us. There use to be a time where the story and characters were engaging that Delena was just a nice added bonus, but eventually with the lost of KW and Narducci and bad decisions from JP and CD, the show just hasn't been what it used to be. So the finale will be make it or break it for some Delena fans and a couple of us has stated on here that it'd be a bit of a relief to finally just be free of this show and to move on. I've personally endured these countless roadblocks to DE and bad writing and retcons, while having to explain away that, 'Oh this roadblock is necessary cause Damon/Elena will finally be able to understand each other better or blah blah' just because I convinced myself that there was no way the writers would put DE through all of this and not give us some reward, some happy ending. The sad truth is that Delena is going to end come finale and we've literally never gotten Delena. They could never be happy for more than one episode before drama struck again.
Wow my point got away from me there, whoops. But basically I won't be able to stomach no Delena next season but then have to be forced to watch Damon and Bonnie scenes with their hastily thrown together friendship that's probably convenient for the finale when it comes to some 'choice' and watch as the writers try to fanbait this pairing without really going there. That's just more salt in the wound for me.
But basically keeping Elena in some type of 'limbo' where she's trapped/sleeping or whatever also helps to keep the characters consistent. Elena won't be forgotten in non existent land cause getting her back will be one of the goals for season 7. Damon can be kept in character because Delena didn't split up or Elena died or whatever so there's no need for no humanity Damon or having to go, 'Hmm how many episodes should Damon grieve Elena?' he can just be normal with the goal of reuniting with Elena as a constant drive. Again it may not be the ideal situation but at this point it's like choosing the lesser of two evils. Elena dying or Delena breaking up just seems really anti climatic after everything.

Elena won't be forgotten in non existent land cause getting her back will be one of the goals for season 7. Damon can be kept in character because Delena didn't split up or Elena died or whatever so there's no need for no humanity Damon or having to go, 'Hmm how many episodes should Damon grieve Elena?' he can just be normal with the goal of reuniting with Elena as a constant drive. Again it may not be the ideal situation but at this point it's like choosing the lesser of two evils. Elena dying or Delena breaking up just seems really anti climatic after everything.
Hmm, well that was a lot. I haven't really kept up with this stuff so much. I don't often hear the other views/opinions of the fanbase anymore. I don't usually read spoilers or interviews. I don't even watch the trailers, guys. Lol. It's been a long time since I've put much effort into this show/fandom.. but it's pretty interesting to read this, and some of the other stuff you all have been posting. The funny thing is, I actually like Bonnie and Damon and their little bond. Believe me, I never saw that coming. I've actually enjoyed their friendship, and I've enjoyed the progression of Caroline and Stefan's relationship as well... but it did occur to me after the news broke, that these things were actually clever (or not-so-clever) shifting points to start to pave the way for Elena's departure. Personally, I really like your positive thinking on the whole Delena thing. It's comforting (at least for me) to think that if scenario one or three that you mentioned come to fruition, they'll still find some way to write a Damon and Elena "endgame" into the story the way that you have described. I'd like to have faith that it'll happen that way. Maybe I'm just cynical but, I don't completely believe that even after everything they've put the DE fanbase through, they'll do DE- or the show for that matter- justice when it counts. I do hope that things turn out the best that they possibly can, since they had to make the (in my opinion,) ridiculous decision to continue the show w/out Nina. But yeah, we all know where our hope with this show has gotten us in the past. |
