“Ok so forgive me, but I seriously need to RANT! I have been mulling over this since 4x01 and as we have progressed it’s started to nag at me… AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT FINDS TURNING ELENA HUMAN TO BE INCREDIBLY STUPID?! I mean other than the sire bond—which I have another solution for—wouldn’t the fact that Elena is finally free of Klaus and able to defend herself be something to at least take into consideration? Granted, I know that Elena never asked for this life but given the alternative wouldn’t it be better in the long run? Think about it. Yes, she’d be human again but she’d never be normal. Normal would be her having no knowledge of the supernatural whatsoever. IMPOSSIBLE! Why? Because, even if you forgot the fact that the Salvatores and Caroline are vampires, Tyler’s a hybrid, Bonnie’s a witch, Jeremy’s a cross between Buffy and the kid from The Sixth Sense, and her ancestors have this obsessive need to record EVERYTHING! The fact remains, that she’d STILL be the doppelganger. This means, the supernatural world would find her eventually. This brings me to The Cure and the sire bond. Elena wants the cure mostly because she wants the perks of a normal life, namely, kids and growing old. Preferably, with Damon. I DO NOT fault her for this! However, I must reiterate, that she is the DOPPELGANGER! This means, that she will either be spending her life on the run from Klaus with no way to defend herself and no Vampire! Damon to protect her, or spending her life as Klaus’ blood bag. Let’s not forget to mention, that any kids that she and Damon may have, have the possibility of being subjected to the same fate. Given what we know of Elena’s compassionate nature and Damon’s protective one, do you really think either of them could live with that? Personally, I think not. Now, for the reason both Elena and Damon want The Cure: THE SIRE BOND! Now, I could go on forever on how loathsome I have found this plot since its introduction to the season and how I think it was just a way of giving Stelena fans a way to ruin Delena’s long awaited relationship milestone, even though, Stelena got two seasons worth of uninterrupted, if not perfect, happy moments. But, for your sake, Jesse, I won’t. What I will discuss, is my theory on another way to break the sire bond. I don’t know how many of you watch True Blood, but on that show there are blood ties, blood bonds, and sire bonds. Sire bonds on True Blood aren’t rare like they are on TVD but they have the same general mechanics: Sire Commands. Childe Complies. Blood bonds though, are very rare. They are usually formed out of love and entered into knowingly and willingly by both parties. They signify a mutual and equal claim. The process of a blood bond is as follows: Partner A begins bond by staking claim on Partner B, this is done by stating “MINE” and proceeding to drink from Partner B, who in turn, acknowledges the claim with “YOURS”. The process is then repeated in reverse order which closes the circle and completes the bond. My theory? Right now Damon and Elena have a sire bond. This essentially, is a one-sided, unequal claim. If Damon and Elena were to enter into a Blood Bond, they’d each have equal claim, thus, making the Sire Bond’s pull null and void. The way I’d do it? I’d have Elena initiate the bond, not allowing any room for sire intervention, thus proving she loves Damon of her own accord, and making his response instinctive. I will be listening to tonight’s podcast and would love your feedback. Even if it’s just telling me I’m crazy. ;)”
