why do you all like damon???? i genuinely do not understand it. he is cruel, manipulative, a menace and not in a good way. i’m convinced that it must be 12 year old girls who love him because no adult woman should be okay with any of his actions. i made it work for michael and kai, but i can’t stand it him. goodbye. maybe i will skip to the fourth book idk.

woah.

“If she left me, I'm going to burn the whole fucking world down until I find her.”
“Your body can only feel one pain at a time. Because pain in the body quiets the pain in the head. It feels good, like a kill switch for your brain.”
“Life felt like hell, because we expected it to feel like heaven.”
“And I hated that I’d missed him. I hated that so fucking much. How I still felt the parts about him I loved when I didn’t know it was him I was with. How his arms around me still felt protective and how his whispers reminded me of when I loved the feel of them all over my neck.”
