Damon’s monologues

Are so cringey! Every single time Damon is staring into a fire and holding that stupid ass tumbler of bourbon/blood and he starts his “Newsflash Elena, I’m selfish! I’m not the good brother. I don’t get the girl, don’t you understand that!” monologues i roll my eyes sooo hard it’s giving “I’m weird! have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on?” riverdale scene. like sorry maybe in season 1 that monologue ate but we’re four seasons in and HE DID GET THE GIRL SO WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!! god it is just so sloppy and recycled. the writers want damon to continue to be a bad ass evil cunning vampire who only cares for one girl but is also somehow the underdog who never wins. it’s not iconic. it’s exhausting.
