MRI below showing the long, thick area of inflammation in the cervical spine in a patient with NMO. In this image, the white area inside the spinal cord shows the inflammation. A normal spinal cord should be a uniform gray color.  Additionally the inflamed area of the spinal cord is thick and swollen. This type of lesion would not be characteristic of MS.

Damon in 2.01:

“You’ve gotta be kidding me”: the rug gets torn out from under him.  He thought Elena kissed him, thought that this was why she believed he was worth saving, because she was in love with him, only to find out all at once that not only is that not what happened, but that it was his first love fooling him again.

“I’m just gonna ignore the bitch”: he plays this off as a strategic move, but he also wants Katherine to feel all the rejection he did when he found out she left him, and, more importantly, he’s just not ready to face her.  He wants to pretend that nothing’s changed, that the main event is still Stefan wanting to fight him about Elena.  Because if he faces up to what’s going on, there’s a choice he has to make, and he wants to pretend like it’s already out of his hands.

“Now I’m hurt”: a day ago, Damon didn’t believe Elena would kiss him.  After he thanks her/Katherine, he kisses her cheek, and it’s only based on her body language communicating obvious willingness that he very very slowly goes in to kiss her on the lips, and he’s shocked that she kisses him back.  But now, the lines of reality are blurring for him - he knows it was Katherine, but believing that Elena kissed him momentarily put their relationship (and his relationship with Stefan) back into categories that he understands.  Everything was clear for him, and now he’s having trouble going back to the more complicated, nuanced world where Elena cares about him and wants him to be saved without being in love with him.  He’s hurt because he can’t remember how to be thankful for her love as it is; all he’s feeling is the loss of what he briefly thought he already possessed.

“Looks like Katherine’s trying to steal your guy, I mean it’s only fair, since I went after your girl”: this dialogue could have come straight out of History Repeating.  Possession, manipulation, revenge: these are Katherine’s categories.  

“I’ll forget everything and we can start over, this can be our defining moment”: although he kisses Katherine rather than kills her, his attempt to recreate the past doesn’t last longer than a couple seconds.  Even when he’s kissing her, he’s not letting her push him around (literally) like she used to - he wants her, wants her love, but on new terms.  He wants them to be equals, partners, wants them to trust each other, because he’s had the smallest taste of what that would be and he can’t go back.  He can’t be who he was, he wants to forgive everything and start over - and in the process, he’s more sweet, innocent Damon than ever before.  He’s asking for a relationship with Katherine - but on Elena’s terms.

“You can’t imagine that I’d believe that you want to, that what we’ve been doing here means something?”: Stefan’s been telling him nothing was real with Katherine for a whole season, Elena’s told him she’s surprised he thought she’d kiss him back, and now he’s had the final confirmation that Katherine never loved him.  Everyone’s trying to strip away the reality he sees and replace it with lies and emptiness.  He’s too afraid to trust Stefan’s offer to stand together, and so he goes back to Elena again, sure that if anyone loves him, she does, but he’s still too fragile for her being his friend to be enough.  He knows it’s not nothing, and so it must be romance, and she must be lying.  

“Lie about this”: he’s asking for a relationship with Elena, on Katherine’s terms.

“You wanna shut out the pain, it’s the easiest thing in the world”: there is nothing left.  Elena, everything he thought was good, has just repeated the killing blow of his worst enemy.  There is no hope, nothing trustworthy, nobody who really cares about him - Stefan, who’s trying to make peace with him, inadvertently took everything from him twice today.  And still Elena thinks he’s better than this, that he should be strong and good enough to just stop wanting her - well, he’ll prove her wrong once and for all.  Maybe he thinks Jeremy will come back as a vampire, maybe he doesn’t - he’s not thinking, he is blind emotion, and he doesn’t want Elena to have any power over him anymore, so he does something he knows she can’t forgive.  But he doesn’t, or can’t, shut out his feelings.  He pushed her away, but now all he feels is his regret for her grief.

This post helped me a lot for my writing class! I loved it!

I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
