I'm cheating a bit and getting ahead of myself, but I've watched "Let the Right One In" and "Under Control," and OH MY GOD THE ALARIC/DAMON SCENES. When Damon tries to pal around after they've saved Stefan and Alaric punches him- "everybody hates me"..."it happens"! And when they confront John together! OMG I LOVE THEM. I should probably watch Alaric's 'death' scene again because I probably would find Damon much more ~interesting~ now. The first time I was just so horrified because you know that what Alaric's doing is stupid and you know he's going to do it anyway and it won't end well, and basically it's like watching a car wreck that you're powerless to stop.
the rings are supposed to restore the balance should any harm befall humans at the hands of creatures who should not exist in the first place.
Meh, the rings sound only slightly less contrived than Spike's chip. How far does the magic's reach extend? If a vampire started an avalanche like Mulan, and Alaric got crushed in the snow, would the ring restore him? <-- hyperbolic, rhetorical, though still not entirely jocular questions.
But what she feels for Damon is truly not rational, which accounts for that persistent disillusionment with him.
The irrational affection is not my cup of tea, but as long as the disillusionment is continual and she doesn't romanticize him...
