First of all I want to congratulate Laura on winning, you're an amazing shabiki and totally deserve the honour :] Now for the questions...
Bolded are the questions, italics are my input, anything else are her answers.
1. Can wewe start with a short introduction of yourself for the new mashabiki that may not be familiar with you? :]
Hi, my name is Laura and I’m from Italy so forgive me if I make any mistakes cuz English isn’t my mother language. I’m at the UNI right now and studying to become a teacher, so I should expect the 1st gray hairs really soon..
Other Hobbies: English, Computers, Football, Psychology, kusoma Books…..
What can I say, since I was a little girl I loved watching sinema and as I got older I fell in upendo with tv shows. I watched a lot lol but loved a very few, like for example TVD. It was upendo at first sight and very quickly it became my newest addiction…and then came D/E. I never thought I would ever upendo another couple the way I loved C/B [Gossip Girl] but it happened, so now I can honestly say that D/E is my newest obsession.
2. How do wewe feel about winning FOTM?
It’s an awesome feeling, happiness I guess. Truthfully I didn’t see that coming because we have so many dedicated mashabiki and we all deserve it. I’m honored and want to thank all of those who voted for me…
[Aw, so humble! ;D]
3. What is your inayopendelewa thing about the Delena spot, and do wewe visit this spot the most? If not, which one is it?
My inayopendelewa things…wow I have many:
* Here I found other mashabiki with whom I could share my obsession lol
* It’s so active. We all try to make it better and upendo all the dedication and the upendo mashabiki onyesha toward this couple
*Because we(the fans) are so close to each other, for example we all get together on the foramu an we can talk about anything not just D/E, we advice and support each other. BTW wewe should all jiunge the foramu chat
* Because this is the 1st spot where the mashabiki know my actual name, not all of course, but to me that means a lot and like to return the favor, it shown yet again how we grew so close…
* Because there is no bashing in the D/E spot. I hate when they bash them…well occasionally
we would have intruders but that’s nothing to worry about..
And yes, since the beginning of the mwaka I can safely say this is the spot I visit the most.
[I upendo all your reasons! <3]
4. What episode did wewe start watching TVD; Did wewe support Delena from the start, au did wewe hop on the bandwagon in later episodes?
I watched it since the pilot and loved it. As for D/E? at first I was undecided, I mean I thought that Stelena was cute but something was missing. That’s the thing about me, I tend to need a few episodes to start shipping a couple, in this case I needed 13. The jikoni scene made me realize how much potential and chemistry they have and that was it..I was hooked
5.What do wewe think of Delenas growing popularity?
I upendo it…I was there when they reached 500 fans, 1000 fans, when they surpassed the Stelena mashabiki and it’s an amazing feeling when your inayopendelewa couple grows so fast and becomes so popular. I personally don’t care that people think they are overrated, maybe they are because everybody loves them and that’s what counts.
[Totally agree.]
6. wewe get to meet Ian au Nina, which would wewe choose and why?
I would definitely say Ian. Loved the guy since he was playing Boone (I guess we all know him from Lost), and then his character got killed off, but TVD has done a wonderful job inaonyesha that he’s not just a pretty boy, We all know that playing a bad boy isn’t easy and he does it very well..so yeah, Ian for me.
[I think basically everybody shares your thoughts on this one! Lol]
7. Do wewe ship any other couples on the onyesha besides Delena?
I can’t say that I ship so strongly another couple, but I like Matt/Caroline and liked Jeremy/Anna. D/E will always be my number 1, be sure of that.
8. Are Delena your OTP? If not, who is?
Over the years I shipped a lot of couples and my OTP always changed
There was Monica-Chandler
After it was Spike-Buffy
Then it was House-Cuddy
After it was Chuck-Blair
And now..I believe they are, since right now they are my biggest obsession. But I’m also a little afraid to make them my OTP..
[Haha, totally get that. I'd feel like I was jinxing my couples :P]
9. If wewe had to sum up Damon and Elenas relationship, as of right now, in 15 words au less how would wewe phrase it?
A fiery love-hate relationship that would guarantee to keep wewe on the edge of your seat
I’m not good at this.
[Haha, aww wewe did just fine]
10. The first scene, from your perspective, that Damon saw Elena in a different light, and Elena saw Damon differently was? (Can be separate scenes)
For Damon there was the “watching her sleep scene” but I believe that was all because of Elena’s resemblance to Katherine, so it doesn’t count. I believe he always saw her differently but the dance scene sealed the deal for him. We have to remember that he was in upendo with Katherine for over 145 years so it was hard letting go. As for Elena, IMO, the scene when he had the chance to compel her but he didn’t (1x14),
“I’m trusting you, don’t make me regret it” That look it her eyes...aww I melted then and there.
[Great choice in scenes!]
11. If wewe could re-write ONE Damon au Elena personality trait, what would wewe change?
With Damon nothing. I upendo him the way he is, the perfect mix of good, sexy and evil. I wouldn’t chance anything about Elena either. I upendo her character. Maybe I would bring back party girl Elena for a few episodes, like she was in Georgia…
[Yes! We need zaidi of the Elena we saw in Bloodlines]
12. The most heart-breaking Delena scene for wewe was?
The hug I guess. Damon was so torn apart and Elena was there to support him, she did it without nothing to gain and out of pure feelings, shows that she cared for him.
13. Hypothetical: You're Julie Plec and get to write Damon and Elenas first kiss, what would be the significant moments leading up to it?
Wow this is a big deal. We all want to see the kiss done perfectly don’t we? I want to see Elena doing something to onyesha that she loves Damon, can’t think of any specifics but we all know how Damon feels, we only need Elena to start inaonyesha some love. au Damon saving yet again Elena, I’m a sucker for those scenes..
14. THIS au THAT:
Damon saving Elena, au Elena saving Damon?
-Damon saving Elena again, my hero
Bloodlines au Miss Mystic Falls?
-Miss Mystic Falls-the dance scene was breathtaking literally
Damons hair in the first half au sekunde half of season one? :P
-second half of the season only because I hated his hair-style in the pilot lol
Delena in the vitabu au Delena in the TV show?
-haven’t read the books, so it’s deffo the TV show!
Which scenes; Damon and Alaric, au Elena and Damon?
- As much as I upendo the bromance scenes for me It’s always D/E
DE eye-sex au hand-holding?
-I don’t think we will get zaidi hand-holding scenes so I’ll cherish this one always
Ted-DE au Teddy? ;D
- Ted-DE deffo, how can wewe not, he is so cute!
15. What other on-screen couple would wewe compare with DE, and why?
I wouldn’t use the term “compare” because I believe D/E is unique, every relationship is unique, but I found some similarities between them and Spike-Buffy. Why?
* Because it’s a human-vampire relationship
* Because he is the typical bad boy and Damon is also the bad boy of the story
* Because Elena and Buffy are similar.
* Because Buffy fell for the good vampire but after we all know what happens <3
* Because underneath that hard exterior even Spike and Damon have a good side and that side slowly comes to light towards Buffy and Elena
[Totally agree with your Spuffy/Delena comparisons :D]
16. What is your inayopendelewa Damon quote about Elena, and inayopendelewa Elena quote about Damon? (Doesn't have to be directly to each other)
Damon about Elena: “Going after Elena, bad move! wewe leave her alone au I'll rip wewe to bits” - he was so protective of her.
Elena about Damon: ”He’s an ass! ” very well put Elena..
[Love the eye-roll after 'he's an ass!' :P]
17. In which season do wewe want their first sex scene to happen?
I upendo the build-up and I wouldn’t change one thing about it. I want a kiss au many kisses in season 2 and the sex scene maybe it’s best for season 3. Better done well than rushed, that’s my opinion. I have patience.
18. What is your inayopendelewa object that reminds wewe of Delena? (example: Roses, the rain, etc)
Hmm, I have a teddy kubeba that resembles the one Elena has so I guess wewe know now.. Ted-DE FTW! But I don’t need object to be reminded of them...lol I’m such a junkie
[LOL. Aren't we all...*sigh*]
19. If wewe could choose a Damon au Elena scene from season one to be mirrored in S2, which scene would it be and why? (Example: Delenas 'You did this, this is your fault','Ta-da', etc)
Seeing as I upendo the jikoni scenes, both in 1x03 and 1x13. Damon cooking is so hot and the sexual tension was true the roof..more jikoni scenes for me lol
20. If wewe had a chance to find out who was endgame (in the show) would wewe want to know, why au why not?
Yes and No.
Yes because This is the only thing that scares me to death honestly and I would want to take this weight off my shoulders, but there is always that risk of not liking what wewe would find out. No because I like the element of surprise. I may be the only one who stays away from spoilers, I found out that the journey is much zaidi interesting without knowing.
21. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Yes, it was fun answering these questions, thank wewe Paige and I’m looking mbele to interviewing the inayofuata shabiki of the month. I still can’t believe it♥
And remember kids: D/E Always♥
Aw, your welcome <3 Great closing
Well, I hope wewe guys enjoyed kusoma the interview. I had a blast thinking of these questions. Good luck to everybody in the future that competes for FOTM!
