You know what I find ridiculous? I have spoken to Elena twice, both times initiated by her. I've spoken out about the fact I hate her for what she did to you once outside of a filter. But apparently that's enough to make people accuse me of jumping on her &/or badmouthing her every five seconds.
As for why, it's simple. I am sick to death of poor innocent Elena, always needing to be protected, not just physically but mentally too, while I am permanently the Big Bad Original. Never as important as the precious doppelganger wench.
She can whine all she wants that she killed you to protect Jeremy, yet when I challenged her about the dagger she had no answer to that.
I want her to admit that she committed genocide to get what she wanted because I want the world to see her for what she is. If I'm expected to be open about my crimes, so should she. Why should she get coddled and pandered to when I never ever have been? I'm not going to kill her or attack her. And if after she confesses people still want to be friends with the murderous little bitch, then that's their stupid choice, I won't stop them. I'd pity them because ultimately they'd be expected to sacrifice themselves at the alter of the mighty Elena Gilbert.
