Wow huge congratulations on a truly beautiful essay @jendelena, it is written amazingly and it is all so very true. I agree completely with everything you put down & i loved every quote in reference to them, i loved them all but here is a few imparticular that you made stand out, We ship Damon and Elena because “Love is worth the risk, its not about playing it safe. Its about putting yourself out there—taking a chance, a leap of faith, revealing your true self, becoming vulnerable, which involves the possibility of rejection and pain especially if you’ve been hurt before. But the rewards far outweigh the risks. “For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these- it might have been .

“Damon waited 145 years for Katherine who wasn’t worthy his love. What he didn’t know was he waited 145 years to find his TRUE LOVE- ELENA because she is the one who gave him a chance, because in spite of everything Elena saw something in Damon worth saving.”

We ship Damon and Elena because searching for love takes time, it involves getting to know each other. Forming a strong bond, something that’s undeniable.

And you're absoloutley right there isn't any need to say anything negative about anyone else when there are a list of positives about Delena that could go on and on, as you have just shown :)
Major props for this, it really is just stunning ♥

^^^ @EllaEnchanted Thanks you so much appreciate it. I just felt like I need to write essay on behalf of Delena fans its not all the reasons but its some. But when people say we only ship Delena because of Ian's hotness I'm like dude Lex Luthor on Smallville is my favorite character of all times. He has a huge fanbase but Clark Kent is the pretty boy so what does that say? Lex Luthor appealed to me because of his character is so tortured he has so much layers to him. So sure if your hot good for you but if your character has no substance then then there is only so far looks can take you. the reason we like Damon is because he's complex because he's struggling with his humanity and we get to see someone who at 1st appears just to be some ruthless vampire only to see that at the end of the day they're just a sucker for true love. That's why I say I don't pay attention to what other people say about Delena because they honestly don't know why we ship Delena they just assume and assume because they can't fathom why Delena gets so much love, but hey Delena is awesome so.........haters to the left. :)

Totally, there is never enough good things to say about Delena. Yeah i agree with that comment also, we don't just love DE because Ian is gorgeous thats annoying because its so superficial for people to say that, i do think one of the reasons they say it though is because they are jealous of Delena to an extent. I use to love Clark Kent on Smallville and watched the show all the time, but things changed and it ultimately wasn't the same for me so i stopped watching. But i do agree with you that looks can only take you so far, yes Clark was also gorgeous but he eventually beame very un-interesting, and Lex has always had a sense of mysteriousness about him, you can never always tell what hes thinking or feeling which adds further layers and excitement to any character. Exactly yeah Ian is hot and Delena are about as a hot as a couple can possibly get BUT that isn't the main reason why we ship them, its what you said we ship them because of how different he is, because his character has so many different layers, he is on this incredible journey of discovery and self-belief. Yes these haters do assume because they are jealous. Delena get so much love because they are incredibly unique as a couple, its very very rare to see two people with the chemistry, feeling, understanding & connective thinking that these two just seem to automatically have together. The fact that they don't even have to speak words to create a truly epic moment that says more than you could ever begin to imagine speaks volumes about them as individuals and as a pairing. I know i've never seen anything like them before, there is something so refreshing and honest about them, which is also so unique & special. I can completely understand L J Smith and her visualness of DE she saw the greatness in them she knew when she pictured there characters in her mind that they were destined and ultimately when all is said and done couldn't ever imagine them ending up and being with anyone but each other. I agree with you @jendelena..hater to the left...they see us rollin' they hatin' :)
