Damon Top Ten Drama Queen Moments

[semele]

goldy_dollar put me up to this. I regret nothing.

WARNING: This post contains spoilers and Damon's facial expressions.


Damon Top Ten Drama Queen Moments
(in no particular order)

1. Damon/Fireplace OTP



Damon probably has a separate set of glasses that serve the sole purpose of being thrown into the fireplace. And if he doesn't, he totally should. Throwing alcohol into the fireplace is one of the best ways to deal with stress. It is known.

2. Wrong boy toy!



Katherine: Mason. You should have been here an hour ago.
Damon: Wrong boy toy!
Katherine: Damon. For once you've surprised me. I assume Mason's with you.
Damon: He's right beside me. Although his heart's across the room.
Katherine: You shouldn't have.
Damon: I've had a very busy day today. Killed a werewolf, found a moonstone. Hey, did you know that he hid the moonstone in a bottom of a well full of vervain? Guess he didn't
trust you very much. He did love you. Poor guy. Hey, where are you, 'cause, you know, I could bring him over. Last good-byes and all that.
Katherine: You have no idea what you've just done.
Damon: Aww, did I put a kink in your master plan? I'm so sorry.
Katherine: Do you honestly believe That I don't have a plan B?

Because when you destroy your enemy's Diabolical Plan, calling them and GLOATING about it is totally the mature thing to do. It's not at all about having a Great Dramatic Triumph Scene. No, sir!

BONUS: Judgy Stefan



3. Existential crisis



Jessica: What happened?
Damon: I'm...Lost.
Jessica: And you're laying in the middle of the road?
Damon: Not that kind of lost. Metaphorically. Existentially.
Jessica: Do you need help?
Damon: Well... Yes, I do. Can you help me?
Jessica: You're drunk.
Damon: No. Uh, well, yes, a little maybe. No, please don't leave. I really do need help.
Jessica: Don't move. I don't want any trouble.
Damon: Neither do I. But it's all I got is trouble.
Jessica: Why can't I move?
Damon: What's your name?
Jessica: Jessica.
Damon: Hi, Jessica. I have a secret. I have a big one. But I never said it out loud. I mean, what's the point? It's not going to change anything. To make me good. Make me adopt a puppy. I can't be what other people want me to be. What she wants me to be. This is who I am, Jessica.
Jessica: Are you going to hurt me?
Damon: I'm not sure. Because you... You're my existential crisis. Do I kill you? Do I not kill you?
Jessica: Please don't.
Damon: But I have to, Jessica. Because I'm not human. And I miss it. I miss it more than anything in the world! That's my secret. But there's only so much hurt a man can take.
Jessica: Please don't.

THIS. I don't even know how to comment. Getting drunk, sitting in the middle of a road, delivering an Epic Speech to a random girl, and then killing her. You just don't get more melodramatic. And Damon should know. He tried.

(Also, chapeux bas for Damon. When I'm drunk, I can't say the word Existentially without adding or losing a vowel)

4. Clean Freak



Damon: Well, try harder. We need him to kill Klaus so I can de-rippefy Stefan before he destroys my house.
Katherine: Fine. I'll give it another shot.

And, of course, a classic:

Damon: Hey, the two brunettes on the staircase owe me a Persian rug.

Because this is his biggest problem right now. Yep. Obviously.

5. Shot by Logan Fell



Stefan: What happened? you ok?
Damon: No. I'm not ok. I was ambushed. I was shot. Now i'm vengeful. Just gotta find him.

Ok, getting shot earns a guy a little drama, but the way he's taking off his shirt is just a show itself. He is ANGRY. In case you didn't notice. ANGRY. And vengeful.

6. Right away, Miss Katherine



Katherine: We're missing the party. I'll have one of those.
Damon: Right away, miss Katherine.

And again, totally The Mature Thing To Do. Let's get easily provoked and stake Katherine, consequences be damned! If it's poetic, it's a valid lifestyle choice. Also: he's so over her. Every fibre of his being says how much he's over her. Totally.

7. It's ok to be twelve!



Damon: It's a full moon tonight, Elena.
Elena: Then we'll find him before then. Damon, please.
Damon: Ok. Ok. But we are out of here before the moon is full and I'm werewolf bait.
Elena: I promise.
Damon: Unless you wanna relive that whole deathbed kissy thing.
Elena: I said I promise.
Damon: Fine.

When you are confused and embarassed, because a girl of your dreams kissed you when you were on your deathbed, and then you blew the whole dying thing, deal with your emotions by following the girl to the Smoky Mountains and pushing her into a stream! You've been a grown-up for over 150 years, so you can tell that it does get boring. When pushing her into a stream gets boring too, you can always pull her hair and draw a penis in her history book.

Bonus if you do all that when Evil Masterminds are after you.

8. Sweet, innocent Damon



True Love is absolute, so Damon just kisses the girl whose mouth is covered in blood, and it's all about making a romantic gesture. The girl he loves by definition cannot do anything apalling, so if he feels disgusted, then there is something wrong with him. Of course this attitude lead him to his doom, but at least he made it into such a beautifully staged tragedy!

9. Our bond is unbreakable!



Damon: We got a crazy ex on the loose. Better watch out, looks like Katherine's trying to steal your guy.
Stefan: That's not what's happening.
Damon: Isn't it? I mean, it's only fair since I went after your girl.
Elena: I'm gonna check on Jenna and Jeremy. Let me know when you guys are done.
Damon: So what's it gonna be, huh? Fight to the death? Go ahead, make your threats, stake your claim.
Stefan: I'm not going to fight you.
Damon: Why? I'd fight me!
Stefan: Katherine is going to try to play us against each other. You do know that, right?
Damon: Brother, don't you worry! Our bond is unbreakable!
Stefan: We need to stay united against her! So yes, as much as I would like to kill you, I'm not gonna fight you.
Damon: I kissed Elena.
Stefan: Because you feel something for her! Because you actually care. And I'm not gonna let Katherine come in here and destroy that part of you that is finally, after all this time, willing to feel something. She'll try to break you. She'll try to break us. And how we respond to that will define us. It's our choice. So no, I'm not gonna fight you.

Saying dramatic things is way better than actually solving conflicts. And with all the gestures! This is one of the few moments when Damon lets his Drama Show become Self-Mocking Drama Show on purpose.

10. I can't be selfish with you



Damon: I just have to say something.
Elena: Why do you have to say it with my necklace?
Damon: Well... Because what I'm about to say is... Probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life.
Elena: Damon, don't go there.
Damon: No. I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it's because I love you that I can't be selfish with you... Why you can't know this. I don't deserve you... But my brother does. God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do.

This is one of the most dramatic Damon moments, because, seriously, the very need to just GO TO THE GIRL and have the EPIC ROMANTIC LOVE SPEECH is drama!queen!Damon to the core. And then he says things like I can't be selfish with you while doing something awfully selfish, and he is aware of it, but he still needs the performance to happen.


How about other Drama Queen moments? I'm sure you have some more, especially since I tried not to be very cruel ;).

I'm just distracted by all the faces. :) These people are good looking lol. (I mean Stefan's face toooo) lol. too much, too much.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

I feel your pain!

[next_to_normal]

ALL OF YOUR CHOICES!!! Damon's faaaaaace.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

Ian Somerhalder suddenly made me feel better about how often I have a face of a not very educated monkey when it comes to photos.

[midnightblack07.livejournal.com]

THIS POST DESERVES ALL THR AWARDS TBQH LOL <333

&& neat-freak!drama queen Damon may just be my favorite thing ever; I STILL laugh at the scene where he's begging Vickki not to get blood on the couch (in 1x06), and the one where he rolls up the carpet before torturing Mason in 2x06 because OF COURSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET BLOOD ON THE RUG, DUH BONNIE LOL

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

If we had "don't get blood on the couch" in 1x06, and roling up the carpet in 2x06, and Persian rugs in 3x06, will 4x06 become a special episode in which Damon teaches us how to get rid of bloodstains on various types of fabric?

[bluesuzanne.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA OMG THIS POST IS THE BEST THING.

I SNORTED AT THIS BIT:

When pushing her into a stream gets boring too, you can always pull her hair and draw a penis in her history book.

Also you have completely nailed the 'I love you/forget' moment. SUCH A CLASSIC DRAMA QUEEN MOVE. SO much love.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed it :D. Damon is my favorite Drama Queen.

[wheatear.livejournal.com]

This is the best post.

There are loads and loads of drama queen moments, but one I like is 2.22 where Damon ~dramatically~ tries to kill himself by taking off his ring and standing with his arms outstretched in front of the sunlit window. Gotta go out with a bang, y'know?

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

Lol, so true! And he also poured himself the last drink, because it's a classy thing to do!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

... OMG THIS IS PERFECTION.

*snorts* Damon I do love you but you're such a drama queen indeed. My favorites have to be the persian rug ones/when he loses his shit over stuff getting all over his furniture because I can't help finding it hilarious to an insane degree, but everything else is the best. Also LOL the bonus judging!Stefan killed me. I might like current!Stefan atm but I sort of miss the bitchfaces he made when Damon went all drama queen. And gosh 100% right about the last one. But ALL OF THEM. Also Ian's face = thing of beauty. Seriously. This post is worthy of a lot of internets.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

Stefan's way of dealing with Damon being a drama queen was just priceless, maybe because Stefan is a bit of a drama queen himself XD. I have this head!canon that when there's just the two of them and they argue, they start using this old-fashioned, melodramatic vocabulary, only they mix it up with modern swearing, and when Alaric walked on them once, he nearly laughed his ass off, because seriously.

Neat!freak!Damon wins all the awards. I love it. Damon is a vampire, a murderer, a rapist, a cruel, vicious creature, unpredictable and overly emotional, and on top of that he is just... petty? So much about being a romantic hero. His pettiness humanizes him so much.

THIS POST:



THIS POST WAS WELL WORTH IT, I LOVE ALL YOUR MOMENTS. IA with Damon/Fireplace OTP. I think him throwing his glass into the fireplace is one of my all-time favourite moments. YOU DESTROY THAT SHOT GLASS DAMON, YEAH.

Ok, getting shot earns a guy a little drama, but the way he's taking off his shirt is just a show itself

hahaha the people at home consider this an acceptable response to the situation. CARRY ON DRAMATIC DAMON.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

PERFECT FROG ICON IS PERFECT! FLAWLESS CROCODILE GIF IS FLAWLESS!

Damon throwing glasses was supposed to have a bonus Damon throwing soapbars around his bathroom, but it was 4AM, so I just gave up, especially since I only remember it was SOMEWHERE around mid-s2 XD.

DAMON SHOULD BE DRAMATIC ALL THE TIME!

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I think one of my other favourite dramatic Damon moments not on your list is when he destroys Stefan's bedroom in 3x01 and then stops before shattering the guitar. TOO MANY WOODEN PIECES THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO CLEAN UP LATER. THAT WOULD JUST BE GOING TOO FAR.

[dante-kent.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'm basically trolling the internet trying to deal with the void in my life that this TVD hiatus has caused, and I've seen you around, so I came over here to check things out. And found this. THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

Damon/Fireplace = MY OTP FOREVER AND EVER. Do you think Stefan hides all the really expensive crystal stuff, just in case?

Judgy Stefan in the greatest. I have nothing left to say.

Neatfreak!Damon has stolen my heart. I have developed an extensive headcanon in which he folds laundry, polishes the silver, and waters all the plants. He is a domestic at heart. How else do you explain that soap dish?

This list is gold. And valid. Let's just say that if at some point Damon actually stomps his foot in a hissy fit, well, I will not be surprised.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

Hello, nice to see you here :). Trolling is a valid lifestyle choice; I can't stop trolling since Friday. Feel free to troll some more, I'm a TVD spammer ;).

Do you think Stefan hides all the really expensive crystal stuff, just in case?

I think it's Damon who does it when he is having Reasonable Moments XD. Come on, have you ever seen Stefan doing household stuff?

I have developed an extensive headcanon in which he folds laundry, polishes the silver, and waters all the plants.

He totally does. Come on, he is a vampire, he doesn't work, he doesn't go to school, he doesn't troll the internet (or does he?), and eating people only takes that much time. He has to do SOMETHING!

This list was a great fun to make :D. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[dante-kent.livejournal.com]

I cannot stop the trolling. I've given up on imposing any sort of self-control. I'm glad I'm welcome!

I think it's Damon who does it when he is having Reasonable Moments XD.

Valid point. He probably locks them up and hides the key somewhere, just to deter Drama!Damon from smashing the valuables. Depending on his dedication, he sometimes sticks the key in the vervain.

He has to do SOMETHING!

Fact. Damon does not handle boredom well. And hey, that house is big. What else does he do all day? Though I'm pretty sure he does troll the internet. He probably Bings things all the time.

[pamsblau.livejournal.com]

THIS POST!



Also, man you totally forgot my fog/crow OTP in the first episode! Drama queen Damon is always more dramatic when she/he?lol? makes an entrance. Y'a know they all have to know who Damon is!!!

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

The rainbow made me LOL so hard XDDDDDDDDDD.

Also: you posted this comment when I was looking for a picture of the crow to post in a different entry XD. Agreed, Drama Queen Damon definitely is an attention seeker who can't resist making an entrance.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

BLESS THIS POST.

WARNING: This post contains spoilers and Damon's facial expressions.

I feel like everybody should be warned for this before watching the show, tbh.

1. You have seen this Tumblr post, right? (Bless this fandom.)

2. JUDGY STEFAN IS THE BEST

3. OH GOD SO MUCH MTE.

Also, chapeux bas for Damon. When I'm drunk, I can't say the word Existentially without adding or losing a vowel

HE CAN DO ANYTHING. HE CAN JUMP ROOFTOPS. HE'S A RASCAL.

6. BWAHA. "I JUST GOT SHOT BY SOME DOUCHE WITH BAD HAIR; ERGO, I SHALL NOW ANGRILY TAKE MY SHIRT OFF IN FRONT OF A FULL-LENGTH MIRROR WHILE BITCHING TO MY BRO ON THE PHONE, AND IF I HAPPEN TO LOOK INCONCEIVABLY HOT WHOLE DOING SO, THEN FUCKING GOOD FOR ME."

Also: he's so over her. Every fibre of his being says how much he's over her. Totally.

PREACH.

You've been a grown-up for over 150 years, so you can tell that it does get boring. When pushing her into a stream gets boring too, you can always pull her hair and draw a penis in her history book.

Yeah, this is already a thing that happens. Lord.

8. LMFAO INNOCENT!DAMON. I CANNOT. I SPAT OUT MY POPCORN WHEN I SAW THIS FLASHBACK.

This is one of the few moments when Damon lets his Drama Show become Self-Mocking Drama Show on purpose.

Ha, well said. He's always mocking himself one way or the other, but usually he's completely -engaging- with his emotions. It's cathartic. He doesn't want anyone else to play along; he wants to be the main spectacle. #diva

Or, as you put it: And then he says things like I can't be selfish with you while doing something awfully selfish, and he is aware of it, but he still needs the performance to happen.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES. One of my favourite moments ever ever ever. The construction is fucking amazing.

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

1. LOOOOOOOL!!! I don't use tumblr at all, so NO I HAVEN'T. Thank you, it ruined my brain for ever...

3. I mean, can you? Because I just generally lose my English fu when I'm drunk. Which is weird, because most people in this situation start speaking better XD.

6. BWAHA. "I JUST GOT SHOT BY SOME DOUCHE WITH BAD HAIR; ERGO, I SHALL NOW ANGRILY TAKE MY SHIRT OFF IN FRONT OF A FULL-LENGTH MIRROR WHILE BITCHING TO MY BRO ON THE PHONE, AND IF I HAPPEN TO LOOK INCONCEIVABLY HOT WHOLE DOING SO, THEN FUCKING GOOD FOR ME."

LOOOOOOOOL! I was quite fond of my description of this event, but now I give up, I like yours better!

8. IKR? I wanted to hug him! Flashback!Damon makes me feel maternal...

9. He's always mocking himself one way or the other, but usually he's completely -engaging- with his emotions. It's cathartic.

YES! Being a clown makes him think stuff over, you know? And kind of not really move on. He needs his drama in order to function properly!

10. The "I can't be selfish with you" speech was AMAZING, but fandom kind of spoiled it for me :(. I'm currently trying to ignore this impression.

[verdant_fire]

Of course this attitude led him to his doom, but at least he made it into such a beautifully staged tragedy!

The story of Damon's life, man. One of my personal favorite drama queen moments was when he rips Mason's heart out. I mean, "Katherine will only rip your heart out. Let me do it for her"? DRAMA QUEEN FOR ALL TIME.

P.S. I hope it's not weird, but I'm friending you forthwith. Your posts are a delight, plus I see that you also love my glorious ginger queen, Donna Noble. xD

[upupa-epops.livejournal.com]

No weird factor whatsoever :D. I'm adding youback.

Donna Noble is the best thing that ever happend to Whoverse, and I always cry like a baby when Doctor says that "they sing songs about Donna Nobie" :(((((((.

Oh, the whole sequence with Mason was priceless! Projecting much, Damon?

[verdant_fire]

Awesome! Man, "Journey's End" was so heartbreaking. Donna deserved better. My heart was out in the rain with Ten.
