If you happen to find the fic where Caroline pretends to be Silas? You need to let me know IMMEDIATELY. Just saying.
And I hope that for Bonnie too, and I think it's a possibility? She's been sneaking around enough to make it happen, and so often, and yeah, you're right about the personal vs. the moral high ground. I think her making a decision, based on her grief and loss, to go through with her plan would be in line with the show, because this show isn't Buffy. This isn't about the Slayer saving the world. This is about people making a mess of their lives because they want to love, they want to survive, they want to live, and sometimes the rest of the world just has to go to hell to make that happen.
I want soulless!Elena to develop a bit more personality? I don't feel like she's quite... someone, as much. But I DO appreciate her continuing to make her point on calling Damon and Stefan on their shit. She isn't doing anything after switching off her emotions that she hadn't decided to do before, that I can think of. They're the ones putting her humanity on a pedestal. And it's so hypocritical, from the one who gave her a vervaine necklace once to make sure all her decisions were her own and not even accidentally compelled by him, and from another who got in bed with her in a hotel room because he was waiting for her to tell him to, waiting for her to reach for his hand, waiting for her to choose him. Except now they don't give a damn what she's chosen to be, and they deserve the shit she's serving up.
