Please welcome our FOTM winner for February, the wonderful HaleyDewit (Ellen)! *round of applause* Big thanks to Ellen for taking the time to answer these questions!

1. Can Ты please introduce yourself?

Hi, my name’s Ellen. I’m 21, 22 Далее month. I work in the кухня of a tearoom. I have three sisters and one brother. I Любовь writing, making Иконки and fanvideos. I’m addicted to music, Фильмы and TV-shows.

2. How do Ты feel about winning FOTM title?

I think it’s awesome! It really seemed as if I wasn’t going to be nominated, but then Delena4eva nominated me at the last minute.

3. When did Ты start shipping DE?

You’re probably only going to get this answer once. Ты have to understand I had no idea how Ian или Nina looked like, I haven’t read any of the Книги yet either. Anyways, a couple of years назад I was in a store and there was a book from TVD. I only read the summary, but something told me ‘These two have to be together’
And in the Показать it was the end of Friday Night Bites. It was also the moment where I decided to skip the whole part where I’m supposed to think Damon’s a monster, because I knew there was еще to it.

4. Are there any other couples whom Ты ship in TVD?

Sure. There’s Klaroline, Steferine, Forwood, if they can fix things and get back the way they were in season 2.

5. How do Ты feel about our DE spot? Do Ты visit it often?

I Любовь it! There so much activity, so many nice people, we’re one big happy family.

6. Have Ты read the books? If yes, do Ты prefer DE in the Книги или in the show?

I haven’t read the Книги yet. I’m collecting them. I know the Dutch version of Midnight will be released on May 3 this год and then I’ll have all of them.

7. Were Ты happy with DE's Kiss in 3.10? Was it all that Ты had hoped for as their first kiss?

I loved it! I’ve been floating on a розовый облако for a week. But it was not how I imagined it. People who’ve read ‘The Host’ know how I imagined their first mutual kiss.

8. Your favorite:
•Damon's quote to/about Elena
•Elena's quote to/about Damon
• any DE related quote in general

Damon to Elena: ‘I Любовь you, Elena. And it’s because I Любовь Ты that I can’t be selfish with you’

Elena about Damon: ‘I really think that Damon believes that everything he’s done, every Переместить that he’s made, he has done for love’

General quote

Elena: ‘I didn’t want to see Ты get hurt, ok? I was worried about you?’
Damon: ‘Thanks’
Elena: ‘Yes, I worry about you. Why do Ты eve, have to hear me say it?
Damon: ‘Because when I drag my brother from the edge and deliver him back to you, I want Ты to remember the things Ты felt while he was gone.

9. Most heartbreaking Delena scene?
Damon’s Любовь confession in ‘Rose’.

10. A DE scene which makes Ты laugh.
The кухня scene in ‘Disturbing Behavior’ and the porch scene in ‘Haunted’

11. Your one Избранное scene from each season? (you can make it two, if Ты want to!)

Season 1
The Miss Mystic Falls dance! I Любовь it! Never gets old.
The slap scene in Haunted. There was so much angst in that one scene. And Damon looked so hot…
Season 2
The scene in Elena’s bedroom in ‘Rose’ when Damon says he loves her.
The scene in Damon’s bedroom, when Damon is ‘dying’.
Season 3
The Kiss in The New Deal.
The training session in ‘Smells like teen spirit’

12. The best episode DE have had so far?

Both ‘Smells like teen spirit’ and ‘The New Deal’

13. And the worst?

‘The Return’

14. A DE scene Ты would really like to see happening on the show?

LOL xD I can’t really answer this question. If Ты want to know you’ll have to read ‘The Host’

15. Are there any arguments against DE или is there anything people say about them that bothers you? If so, why?

Some things used to bother me. I really hate it when people hate on Damon или Elena, but I’ve realized those people are just jealous and pathetic and I won’t let them rain on my Delena parade.

16. When DE have a bad episode или when we hear ominous reports about what will happen, then how do Ты deal?

I stay optimistic. Delena need their obstacles. It’s what differs them from most couples on TVD. Their obstacles pave their way to happiness with one other.
And I don’t read interviews. I don’t get how at this point people can still have blind faith in what any of the producers или actors say. Why would they give DE away? That would be like having a book and Чтение the final page before you’ve read the book itself. There’s no fun in that.

17. What are your thoughts about Season 3 so far?

I’m having mixed feelings. I really, really hate how they wrote the ripper storyline. Sure, the SE calling scene at the end of ‘the birthday’ was kinda sad. But full-blown rippers, like Stefan’s supposed to be, don’t go calling their girlfriends to whine about their miserable lives.
But I do Любовь the DE buildup. They have the best scenes and I really believe the best has yet to come.

18. Do Ты want Elena to ever turn into a vampire?

Yes. I want that. I just hope her need to make Stefan feel something won’t be heightened by it.

19. What are your thoughts on ship wars/rivalry within TVD fandom?

They’re so ridiculous. I have no problem with people shipping something other than DE, because I won’t judge them based on ship preferences. Actually I don’t judge people at all. Unless they’re asking for it.

20. How do Ты respond/feel when people claim DE Фаны are 'the worst' in the fandom?

I usually get very furious. And when I get furious I get creative. So, mostly I write a song about them.

21. What's your answer to the people who argue that Elena is better off without Damon and Stefan?

“Well, the TVD fandom is better off without you, but you’re still here”
No, seriously, it’s a Любовь triangle, people. And without the Salvatores Elena would’ve been dead before she even met Stefan.

22. What are your thoughts on Elena/Elijah as a potential ship?

Facepalm, facedesk. Anything I can хлопать, привкус my head with/on.

23. Do Ты like Defan? What is your response to those who can't support DE because it would 'get in the way' of Defan's bond as brothers?

I don’t like Defan, no. Their relationship is so twisted and wrong. Yes, they’ve saved each other many times, but why is that any proof of loving или caring about each other? In my opinion, Stefan doesn’t save Damon because he cares for him. It’s because if he wouldn’t it would add up to his guilt feelings. If Ты really care for your sibling Ты don’t go trumpet about his violent past to cover your own.
People using that excuse are just pathetic. They are grasping for reasons for DE not that to happen and when they can’t use SE’s ‘epicness’ anymore, they quickly bring in the Defan crap. It’s actually very childish.

24. When do Ты see DEx happening? Do Ты want it to happen?

Season 4, season 5, somewhere in one of those seasons. I absolutely want it to happen, but I think the scenes in my head are very not the CW appropriated.

25. Do Ты think DE stand a good chance at being endgame?

They stand the best chance. The longer they drag out, the еще I’m confident in a DE endgame.

26. Any final words Ты would like to add?

A huge thank Ты to Delena4eva who nominated me and to everyone who voted me. Keep shipping Delena. Don’t let those dumb haters get to you. Don’t read interviews. And stay awesome.
