Give Me Sidewalk City Shadows: Why I love Elena Gilbert 

kirkwoodisinoregon:

Anon asked me: why do you love Elena?

WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE, ANON?

I mean no, I should say that I realize why people might not be as attracted to her as a character as others, but for me she’s perfect. And here’s why.

  • Elena is selfless, and that makes her selfish

Okay, so I know people get really loose with this adjective when describing people and characters, and most often don’t use it right, BUT, I will defend this characterization of her till my dying breath.
