  • "I'm not a hero, Elena. I don't do good. It's not in me."
    This is the first video in a series of my character tributes for TVD. I plan on making one for every character. I'm still not sure who will the next one be about, but I wanted to start with my favorite tv character of all time - Damon. The only reasons I kept watching after Elena left, was for him. I acknowledge he's not perfect. He's done some horrible things and he knows it too. He killed people, hurt his loved ones. But he's also fiercely loyal, and ready to sacrifice himself for Elena, his family and friends (even though it takes him some time to actually care for someone). 'Damon logic' might be messed up, but I've always been able to understand him and sympathize with his story.
    Damon was never a one dimensional character. He had to grow up with an abusive father, always trying to 'earn' his approval. His mother was never strong enough to leave Giuseppe, but left her sons to live with that monster while she found a new family - and then came back only to take Elena away from Damon. Every girl he's ever truly loved rejected him for Stefan, the brother who forced him to turn into a vampire. He's been pushed around throughout his entire life as a human. Hurt by his parents; after waiting for over a hundred years - hurt by Katherine, and even by Elena in season 3. He made some horrible choices, there's no denying that. He always had his reasons though, and I'm so glad that at the end - he got his happy ending! The human life he deserves, with the girl that loves him back.
    Hope you enjoy the video. Let me know what you think! (Also beware, any Damon hate will be deleted)

      It’s a self fulfilling prophecy he was constantly treated like the black sheep even as a kid
      I never really like Stefan he always got away with really bad shit cus he could act all sad and contrite but the still do the same thing but forgiven without even truly trying to be better he is an addict who blames everything bad he does on his evil brother and his blood addiction
      In all honesty I don’t like Lexi she is a self ritious bitch to Damon for no reason because she bought into Steven poor me act she is at times up her own ass about how she saved Steven from not only himself but his oh so evil brother
      Who took beating for him from their tyrannical father and tried to be there form him when their mother passed only to find out their mother not only lived she abandoned them with their abusive father Lilly didn’t give a shit about her kids she is just as bad as Ester and Michael in the shitty parents category
      Was it shocking when Damon killed her not really but if he hadn’t it would have thrown him and Steven under subspesion of the council and would have gotten them killed it would have been pointless
      Damon never lied that he did bad things he didn’t hide be hind a sweet facade he was honest with others and himself
      He became what others always called him inhuman incapable of love
      The only thing I hate Damon for his how he abused Caroline in season 1
      That was beyond fucked up and he should answer for that never the less
      Damon will always be my favorite character on this show

      Cierra Williams he was never the good guy, he was always saying that, i love his character just like Damon's character is. He didn't lie about what he was, he was honest and he could get over himself, so... idk your reasons to hate him, but he's pretty much the greatest male character on the show. I love the villain charater, all the characters (except for Bonnie and Matt) have been done horrible things, the vampire diaries it's pretty much a show to love the villains. So yeah, i love Damon, he's an amazing, sarcastic, badass epic king.

      Dreamer Lu i respect ur opinion but damon is terrible i have no respect for him no liking at first i did but all the things he's done I'll never forgive him his brother died for his happiness and he's done more he doesn't have to be perfect its the simple fact that elena had nothing to do with damon it was stefan always but damon came in and swept her off her little feet and stefan had to die for a toxic so called happy relationship so i will never respect him as a character at all so our views and opinions are different

    • @dreamerlu6898
      @dreamerlu6898 Před 6 lety +94

      Cierra Williams honestly i love Stefan too, i'm nothing like a Stefan hater or something, maybe Stefan was one of my fv characters too, but he decided to die for Damon, it was his choice, because Damon compel him to go and he could die for him, but Stefan was on vervain so... he decided to do that for his brother. I respect your opinion, but i love both of Salvatore brothers, and some of things of the most of the characters are pretty questionable to me. And for my Damon and Elena are nothing like toxic, he changed a lot and if you didn't see it it's that your hate it's blinding your judge. Delena is epic for me.

    Say whatever about Ian but he crafted this character a lot and gave so much depth to him. He did such an OUTSTANDING job throughout the 8 years, i will always be grateful for that and i couldn't imagine anyone else playing damon as good as he did. Credit where is due.
    And speaking of...ALL THE AWARDS TO YOU FOR THIS ABSOLUTE PERFECT MASTERPIECE!
    My heart is still racing so fast, the perfect tribute for the perfectly imperfect character that is Damon. I will always love him, he stole a piece of my heart a long time ago and never gave it back. I don't think i will ever love another character as much as I love him. Simply stunning!

    Damon is and will always be a man who gives so much, loves more then anyone, cares way too much it consumes him. He is a great person, he is someone who can be loved, he is not a monster. The only reason why he made everyone think he was so no one expected anything good. Damon was afraid if he showed just a bit of sensitivity, people would want him to show more and if it was all out there he knew he would get hurt again. Damon Salvatore is possibly the most amazing, attractive, caring, loving, selfless, person to ever live.

    When Damon says “these days you’re gonna realize you don’t know me half as well as you think” to stefan made me realize how it’s true, stefan knows nothing about Damon. He only knows the outside of Damon. Damon in the inside is the kindest, most selfless ever. When Damon said that line the one thing I thought about was the time he was getting tortured where he met Enzo. Stefan didn’t know until season 8.

      Yeah not only that but as a child, toddler, adolesent, teenager, and young adult he barely received any real love or appreciation from his Parents and they where heavily abusive to him in many ways like Niklaus's parents were to him and Katherines family was to her that and the fact that he was pure pressured by fear and to try to earn his Father's approval by going to war and facing traumas in that war those combinations along with his obsession with Katherine are major reasons with some hesitation mind you that he was eventually able to look past her feeding and killing human habits after all Katherine probably told him that is how most Vampires survive and also taught him how to be prudent, pragmatic, careful, cautious, and selective of the people he fed and killed or fed and compelled for food

    Damon Salvatore is one of the most amazing fictional characters. He has depth and emotion to everything he does. He was just a man that had his love taken advantage of. His father treated him like he was worthless, his mother left him when he was just a boy, and his brother was always the first choice. Before he turned he loved someone so fully yet he was taken advantage of. Because of this he hid his feelings and closed off because he didn’t want to be vulnerable at get hurt again. Damon acted like the bad guy because of the fear of people expecting more from him if he did show a little bit of emotion. All he ever wanted in life was to be loved. He constantly thought he was the problem so he would take himself out of the equation. Damon did good things without anyone knowing. He didn’t take credit for any of the good things he’s done. he would always hide his good acts, then close off and act like one of the bad guys. When Damon Salvatore loves, he loves fully and completely. He’s been damaged in the past but he tries to become a better person. He’s always there for those who need him. Even though he has trouble expressing his emotions in the right way, he still loves so completely that it consumes people. He is one of the most selfless characters on the show. He disappoints people in the beginning so they won’t expect more from him. He always was the second choice and believed he didn’t deserve to be loved. People treated him like a monster so he decided to act like he was one. He closed off his heart in fear it would get broken again. Damon tried so hard to become a better person for the ones he loved and wanted to change but his past trauma always got in the way. In the end he ended up becoming a better man; a selfless caring man. Elena opened his heart up again and showed him it was ok to feel. Once he opened his heart back up he never closed it again and loved everyone so consumingly. “If you’re bad, be bad with a purpose. Otherwise you’re just not worth forgiving.” Damon was fine being seen as the bad guy if it meant the ones he loved would be protected. He knew that people may get hurt along the process but them being alive was better than them being dead. He always labeled himself as the bad brother and Stefan as the “good brother.” Damon is so selfless in this act because he believes that he isn’t worth saving or worth the time of day. So he lets Stefan receive all of the love while he is in pain. Damon is a hero in the villains clothing. He acts bad but is actually one of the kindest most selfless Human beings. When he finally receive some love by Elena. He devoted himself to protecting her and he tried to not be selfish with her. If that meant that he would get hurt because she loved his brother and he was the second choice he didn’t matter as long as she was happy. All he ever wants is Elena to be happy, even if it’s not with him. He reassures people and helps them through their tough times. He lets them know that they are worth it and he speaks so highly about all of his friends. He had the best character development in history. His love is so pure and he has the right intentions even if he doesn’t understand how to express it in the right way. “Just because he doesn’t love you the way you want him to, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you with all he has.” Damon tried so hard to become a better man but he always thought he couldn’t. He was broken for many years yet he allowed himself to love again. Many focus on all the bad things that Damon as done and they don’t focus on all the good he has accomplished also. His father chose Stefan, his mother chose Stefan, Katherine chose Stefan, and at one point Elena did choose Stefan too. He had to live with that pain of being the second choice. However finally someone had chose him in the end and that was Elena. Elena showed him the light once again and brought him out of the darkness. He hurts because he knows he can’t live up to anyone’s expectations “I can’t be what other people want me to be.” “She wants me to be the better man, which means I can’t be who I am.” He just needed love in his life to being him back to who he was before. His smile lights up a room and his love fills others hearts. He sacrifices his happiness for the happiness of others. That is Damon Salvatore, my comfort character.

Stefan on the other hand was always the luckiest one (he got Katherine, he got Elena, he got his father’s love, he’s got his friends etc etc ) Damon had nothing, everything was stolen from him ..why? Because he cared too much. Stefan does bad things, Stefan kills hundreds of people (ripper period ) he gets forgiven for that, he acts like an ass..again forgiven ....Damon never gets forgiven for what he does (just because HE WAS HURT) Stefan tries to be an utter ass when Elena chose Damon over him ...Damon being the insecure person because he thinks he doesn’t deserve it (love) whereas HE DESERVES ALL THW LOVE

      Yamini XD 1) stefan got katherine and Elena because he was a better guy simple as that. Katherine said Damon was better looking but stefan was always the one for her. How is that his fault?
      2) Stefan can’t control the ripper gene. He spent his life being a better person and not feeding from people til damon had to screw that up for him.
      3) the reason no one forgives Damon is because he took lives when things didn’t go his way. He killed Jeremy because elena didn’t want to kiss him. Do you really think if he didn’t have the ring on and stayed dead delena would’ve ever happened?.. I have to laugh. He killed his uncle and pregnant woman. He killed aaron, Elena’s only college friend when they broke up. He raped and used caroline in season 1 and we never saw an apology from him. I don’t even wanna keep going but keep in mind he did all of this WITH his humanity on :)
      4) the reason stefan was angry with they lied to him. that slut and trash of a brother fucked right after Stefan and Elena broke up, AND the rest of summer while stefan was busy drowning with no one making an effort to look for him because they were too busy rolling in the sheets. Stefan flipped a table chill out. Y’all claim he’s “changed” but If the Roles were reversed Damon would’ve went on a rampage and killed people lmao
      Stefan constantly sacrificed his happiness and died in the end. Bonnie never got a happy ending and neither did caroline. They suffered a lot too saving dumb ass elena and bonnie at the hands of Stefan. Wanna know why? Because stefan sacrificed himself to the freaking devil in order for his brother to be free. Stefan is the better man. Period

So he snapped, remember a vampires emotions are heightened and that still doesn't excuse him.but u make it seem like he's a sociopath with no remorse for anything . It's not Stefan's fault either that he's always picked first but u have to admit he got off easy with parents, with the girls aka Elena and Katherine .

    It made me cry. Damon Salvatore is the brother who did everything. He was good but let others believe he was the bad one. He let all of them hate him. He did the things none of them wanted to because then they'll be labelled bad but he did. If that isn't selflessness than I don't know what it is.
    I've heard many people say that Elena was the most selfless person or Bonnie was the most selfless one but why don't they see that Damon was the most selfless.
    I am proud to say that Damon made me realize that I don't have to live upto everyone's expectations. I can be the good one without showing it. I'll be good as long I know it and do it. And that's exactly what Damon did.

Everyone is lovable in their own way, but Damon owned up to himself; by saying exactly what, and how he was. Nobody ever does that. And despite all the bad things he did, especially in the beginning, I couldn't help but see good in him. That scene really showed the good in Damon; it was the turning point in how I primarily saw him.

    I have so many shows I love. So many characters I love. But he’s my all time favourite. You know why? Not because of his womaniser charm ( it’s a good one though) or because of his cunning humour and intelligence. I love him because of his compassion that’s hidden deep within his heart. Over the years, Ian gave so much to this character. He brought out his compassion slowly for all the people this character cared about. I don’t get how people could hate this character. He went through so much, and he suffered for all the people he cared about. Lets not forget that in season 1’s finale, he saved an entire town, and put himself in danger. He saved the whole town from the originals the best he could. In season 5, he saved everyone before he could save himself. He saved Elena numerous times, and was always there for his best friends , Alaric and Bonnie. He was the perfect brother. He took care of Stefan since he was young, even if their father was so fucked up. He was always pushed around, rejected by the gurls he loved because they always chose stefan, (i have no idea why they would choose stefan) and was abused by his father. He always pretended to be the bad guy when he really was the guy who saved others. he was always scared about what people might expect from him if he showed too much kindness. But this character was the best older brother, best friend, husband, and probably a father, which he would be great at as well. His selfishness, is what saved others. This character truly deserved peace with the love of his life in the end. A reunion with his brother. He’s been through so much, he came to mystic falls, to destroy it and everyone in it, but that one girl, changed his heart, and his brother was always there for him. He left mystic falls, protecting everything and everyone in it. He’s always going to be my favourite. This beautiful character who fights through everything, to keep his loved ones and other people safe and happy. He’s truly the best character on television there ever is. And it’s all credits to Ian and the TVD cast who helped bring this beautiful character out. I will always love him.❤️ for his selfishness, his badass self, his compassionate self, his pure love, and his womaniizing skills.🤪❤️😂

    Honestly, people who don’t get this mysteriously attractive, compassionate and smart character are basically just messed up teens who can’t analyse deep within this character and all the reasons for what he did.

    People (locals) regularly like Damon the most because he’s easily the hottest character within the whole cast. I’ve always seen him further than that. He’s bad, but bad with a purpose. People think he’s reckless and horrible, when really, all he ever wanted to do was to keep his friends safe. And when he realized he couldn’t, he locked himself in a coffin for 3 years just hoping that he couldn’t screw things up. And after that, people still continued to judge him. And when he fell in love with Elena. She loved Stefan and couldn’t possibly imagine to ever love Damon no matter what happened. So he proved her wrong. He was good and he stayed that way as long as he could. And when he finally got her, he lost her. And every time he got her back he lost her again. Either he died, or she erased her memories, or her life was paused until someone else died. No matter how hard he tried to be good, he was interrupted. Something always got in his way. So he was himself. And he was bad. But he was bad for all the right reasons. He saved his friends & family, got married, and finally was appreciated for being Damon Salvatore. And that’s why he’s my favorite character.

It’s so clear that Damon is the better man and I wish that every tvd fan saw that because he doesn’t deserve to be a hated character just because of things he did wrong. He wasn’t the only character to make wrong decisions but he easily gets pointed out as the bad guy. Damon Salvatore is one of the most selfless characters on this show, even through the amount of hurt and pain he had to endure his entire life. He even cared at times when he didn’t have to. He always was at war with himself because he didn’t know if he should be who he is or change for the girl that he loved. He has always been my favorite character on the show and he deserves the recognition for being one of the best characters. Damon is the better man. He 100% deserved his happy ending and it’s makes me happy that he got it.

    I love Damon so freaking much. He is really my favorite character in all tv shows. Also, Ian Somerhalder is the best, so beautiful (I mean, those eyes and this jawline are just to die for!) and he has a big heart. I will always love him with all my heart, even if I don't know him il real life. Nobody could play Damon Salvatore better than Ian Somerhalder: this is his role.

    It's sad how he was forced into this role, he cares so much yet everyone takes advantage of it and uses it against him, so he puts a heartless and emotionless front to cover it so he doesnt get hurt again. Everyone misunderstands him and treats him differently for trying to do something right.

    *OMG* This is one of the best tributes I've ever seen. Damon at his purest side. I've always liked him since episode 1 because I usually fall for bad guys but it wasn't impossible to not fall deeply and completely in love season after season. I just think he have been through so much since he was a little kid and seeing all of it in this made me so damn emotional. I feel this is the first of many times I'll watch this video and actually any of your videos. I'm looking for all the other tributes and I hope they make me feel everything this one made me. I must thank you, from a TVD forever and ever fan, for this damn MASTERPIECE.

      Sedusable I totally agree with you. I did not like him the minute he came on the screen but after he and Elena talked in the kitchen in like episode 2, I knew he did not was just the bad and cruel guy. And since then I am completely into him.

  • @angien306
    @angien306 Před 5 lety +2

    This is why Damon is my favorite character of the series. And aside from Caroline, has one of the best character developments too. I love the fact that from the first few episodes, we see that Damon isn’t at all what he makes himself out to be. Sure he can be a bad guy who does terrible things, but we see that that’s not all he is. At the end of the day, he’s just a man who had a rough and traumatic childhood with everyone he’s ever loved and cared for abandoning him over and over. He’s sacrificed so much, even at a young age, and did everything he could to please those he cared for. But they just kept letting him down. He always tried to protect Stefan from their fathers wrath, he loved his mother a lot, but she “died”, and later found out she just straight out abandoned them for another life and family. He tried to please his father and be a good son by joining the civil war, even though he grew up with the abuse from him and still having his father constantly tell him he was a disappointment and was a disgrace. He fell for Katherine who was his first love. Loved her so much and when Stefan found out about her secret, he begged Stefan not to tell anyone, especially their father. And of course, Stefan betrays Damon and spills the beans, leaving Damon so heartbroken about both scenarios. That he lost the love of his life and that his brother, whom he loved and always protected and trusted betrayed him and hurt him. Then later on, Found out after 145+ years that Katherine the one woman he really loved, could care less about him and never loved him, and always preferred Stefan. I mean all those abandonments and betrayals really messed him up. And it made him close himself off from people and it made him very protective of his heart. Hence the cruel, heartless, dead inside persona.
    He became broken, and as a result, he had to protect whatever “goodness” was left. Damon wasn’t always selfish and cruel by nature. He was always protective, sacrificing, loyal, kind, naive, and loving. He wasn’t a monster. He was just broken. And scared of getting hurt and abandoned again. Serious abandonment and betrayal issues can really screw a person up.
    And it wasn’t until Elena and the influence of the people in present day Mystic Falls that changed Damon and made him open up more.
    I love the line Damon says to Stefan in season 4, where they go to New Orleans to figure out how literal the sire bond is. He says “one of these days you’re gonna realize you don’t know me half as well as you think.” And it’s so true. Stefan really never knew his brother. He never knew just how much he sacrificed and just how much he could care about people when he wanted to. He just doesn’t show it as openly as Stefan does. Because every time he does show it, he always gets hurt.
    Just because Damon chooses not to show most of the time that he can be a good guy, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to be one. Stefan has always had it easy, and has always had things handed to him. He never felt what it was like to have such a traumatic childhood because Damon was always there making sure Stefan would never have to know such a fate. And in turn, it screwed Damon up big time. But over the years, Damon learns how to heal and how to be a better man, how to open up and show just how kind, selfless, and loving he can be. That’s why Damon is my favorite character. He’s so much more than what he makes himself out to be. There’s so much more to him than meets the eye. Deep down, all Damon wanted was to be loved and for someone to stay. And in the end he found it. With the love of his life, and repaired the love he had for his brother.

    There’s honestly guys like Damon out there that do amazing things for those they love and make decisions that benefit others, they do whatever they can to make the ones they love happy, they always put others first, and so much of the great things they do go completely unnoticed, I’ve had friends who were great to the girls they loved but the girls just took them for granted and don’t notice the good they do and it’s sad because it should be noticed, guys get a bad name because people mainly notice the assholes, the genuine good guys go unnoticed, I’ve loved the same girl for 6 years I’ve supported her through relationships I’ve helped her through heartbreaks I’ve done so much for her in order for her to be happy because that’s all I want even if it meant breaking my own heart to ensure hers was fixed. There is guys that are good like Damon, but they don’t all have a girl like Elena that’s observant enough to notice the good within them...

    Thank you for this. I kept "screaming" at the other characters to remember all the good Damon has done, and to quit smearing his faults in his face, as if he was worse than anyone else on this show! He proved repeatedly that he IS a hero. Even Damon was far too hard on himself. I love this character.

    Damon was always treated like shit by his family, lover other people. The father said “ I am disappointed in you” causing Damien to want to do better and make his dad proud. Then Katherine pick Stefan over him causing his heart to break because he was never pick. And so he for filled the role of being this ‘ monster’ that people said he is. So Damon believed it, so he decide to play the role well and make everyone hate him. I honestly felt bad for him because his dad and mom wanted him to be like Stefan

    Damon was a good person when he was younger and still was one when he was older. Everyone saw him as a bad guy and made him one. And he had the balls to accept it. He was never bad. He was broken by people who never believed in him. I loved Damon because I saw myself in him. He destroyed everything around him when he was down because that’s the way he got treated. He’s not bad at all. He just needed to be loved and accepted. I choose him. I choose Damon.

I love this show the sound track, and because of this show I am a better man. thank you Vampire Diaries
