#i do not usually gravitate to manips because my brain is obsessive ;)
#plus this is a fave elena moment: when she thinks about a different way of living out her final days.
#(FIGHT for it? stefan's plea is not asking the impossible she's resigned herself from having (surviving)
#but everyone else seems to have; but it's not elijah's (afa elena assumes) where she just dies.
#it's the perfect halfway to never occur to her. so it colors my feeeelingsss on this otp gif manip.
#this expression on elijah's face stays for a few moments after elena's horrified 'it's not just klaus she wants to kill.'
#because she can't spell it out. she can't. being hated and killed by your mother is a page torn straight out of her nightmares (ex:s4).
#and elena's idea of fighting for it: dying on her own terms; her penning in the margins of funeral ceremony. not watching as a ghost girl.
#her way of fighting was to keep klaus' eyes on her until bonnie and elijah could do what she literally couldn't: tear klaus apart herself.
#i don't know where i'm going with this tbh. just that for elena it's too twisted a reminder of the ritual. jenna was a shock
#she wasn't supposed to die with klaus too. it's like esther took elena's already derailed giant fuck you to klaus and made it *hers*.
#she threw strings on elena's arms and yanked her on stage and the designs were inverted and *not hers*.
#here is elijah processing his mother likewise claiming his previous role: waiting in the background with a thirst for blood vengeance
#only murder can satisfy. these two moments aren't connected lol. but they have impact on elena and elijah re-evaluating their plans.
#(elena still doesn't say she's trashing the deal with elijah completely) (elijah never replies to elena's anxious question on going home)
#(i have heard you but my vision remains oceans away from yours.)
#otp otp otp
#THIS IS ALSO A REALLY HOT MANIP THOUGH!

 #this is forever one of my favorite framing decisions this show did  #elena in her own bedroom invaded by this ancient being that has zero respect for her  #he takes up space in her window seat. huge and imposing  #he touches her stuff personal things of hers like he owns it  #he’s huge and takes up the entire frame  #elena in constrast is tiny and small. seen through the mirror  #as elijah prowls around self confident and sure  #his pov learning from her in that mirror  #only the scene ends with everything flipped  #elena on top and in charge of the deal  #you don’t know where he is do you? #and she’s the winner. she’s not truly small.  #objects in mirror are smaller than they appear  #otp: hello there

kirkwoodisinoregon: #it’s everything we talked about ahaha  #finally someone got a cap of the exact clarity shining in her eye  #wonder for one moment at a spark of a feeling that rises forth  #and it’s the feeling of wonder of someone’s else’s feelings and wanting it  #taking it out for a test drive and wanting it as hers #/cries forever

kirkwoodisinoregon: #the shift in focus here is g r e a t  #also because this scene delightfully highlights the split dichotomy in how elijah approaches elena  #brain literally split between family and this person who operates on the same level as him  #and how he approaches acts and morality  #and how he approaches rebekah and the family he wanted back  #and then it all goes to shit in 3.15  #and it’s great  #also file under reasons why he won’t be killing her or anything like that
