  • 50 moments that prove how selfless Damon is & that he is a hero and not the bad brother. "A real hero is the one who doesn't claim to be one." ♥
    twitter: / damontomyelena
    I already made one video about Damon & his selflessness some months ago but there are so many other moments that truly prove that he's selfless...
    so in the end I thougth it's time to make a better video with more reasons. :D
    dedicated to: everyone who says Damon is selfish, lol. Okay, I am just kidding.
    This video is dedicated to all the amazing people who helped me :)
    edit: because so many people asked which songs I used:
    1) Read All About It (Part III) by Emeli Sande
    2) Read All About It (Part III) by Emeli Sande (instrumental)
    3) We Meet In Dreams by Gothic Storm
    4) Forever Alone by Gothic Storm

      You know what the truth is , Damon was always a selfless person, you remember to what extent he went to save Katherine. After becoming a vampire too he was really a good person. He just pretend he don't care. But at the end he is most caring person. Everybody just hurts him so much. He had always been this way. When it comes to his friends , his love , happiness of his friends {I mean friends of friend}, he could do whatever it takes to save them!!!!!! And most imp. to make them happy!

    Of course he is selfless. I saw him from the beggining. He has the best intentions. He is the only vampire that respects his nature and can control himsel. he feeds, but doesnt need to kill. he only siwtc of is humanity once.
    He makes everything for his friends, and even for his friend's friends. He does it for Stefan, he does it for elena, he doesnt bragg about it.
    And he compelled elena do forget he said he loved her just to doesnt mess with her head or stefan's.
    He his the true hero. Anyone who finds a Damon in life is a true lucky person!

  • @leggylesbian
    @leggylesbian 8 років тому +646

    Okay every comment on this video is an argument about whether Damon is selfless or not. The thing about Damon is he never acts like anything then himself. He'll admit the horrible things he's done and they all way on him some of them he doesn't regret but when you look at what he puts himself through on a daily basis for his brother and the people he loves I can't blame him for snapping. It seems like every character loves making him the bad guy so he's just embraced it because why show the good if no one sees it anyway. He dragged his brother back after each blood lust he became a vampire so Stephen wouldn't be alone. He's always there and that is what makes him selfless

    • @abthurd
      @abthurd 8 років тому +41

      +Laura Wood thnks. I don't need to scroll down to find this. In some sense yeah he is the bad guy. He himself said it that he always does the dirty work for his brother. Him snapping and killing people is more reasonable to me after watching tvd S7. This guy had a lot on his plate. Even when he's human. From traumatic childhood, teenage-hood, augustine. He had nobody when when he's going through all that and the people he held on to was Stefan and Katherine (before he knows she's a selfish, manipulative bitch). And both of them let him down. So honestly, I kinda understand why he was this jerk asshole. Cause if it is me, I would have acted the same way. Snapping around and doesn't care about the world, selfish, because he has been given crap and shit throughout his whole life. In real life, those situation numb your feelings. At one point you will break, tired and come to a final resolution that nothing matters anymore. So you only have yourself because you need to survive through all that. Mentally and physically. But he is not completely lost. He had built a genuine relationship with Elena, Alaric, Liz, and Bonnie. He may be so irritated and annoyed with Matt, put him through twisted situations, but in some way he did care about him.
      Both Stefan and Damon had let each down for many times. And yeah, I think people forget he chose to complete his transition as a vampire because of Stefan. That's like the most crucial point about his existence as a vampire.

    He’s a clear example that actions speak louder than words. He thought so poorly of himself and everyone around him kept telling him just how bad he was. Yet love changed him, love for his brother and for Elena. If he hadn’t loved them both so deeply, he would have never become the better version of himself. While other characters change too, in my eyes, he’s the one with the greatest transformation. He’’ll forever be one of the best characters ever written for tv. Ian portrayed him so flawlessly that it was easy to forget he wasn’t real. He was the first character from TVD that I loved and what kept me glued to the show. He sacrificed himself so many times yet he called himself selfish. Underneath it all, he was an unconventional hero. Stefan even called him the better man in the end but I honestly believe they were equally good and bad. They both risked their lives to save the ones they loved. They both brought a lot of pain and suffering onto innocent victims. They both went to hell and back for each other, that’s why the way the show ended was absolutely perfect. They were each other’s saving grace and found peace, together.

      well him respecting her choice lead to her death and her becoming a vampire. Damon respects her choices too, just not the ones that will endanger her life! He respected her choice to be with Stefan even though he loved her, he stood by her no matter what, unlike Stefan who acted like a 5 year old when she chose Damon, acted like she was only supposed to he with him forever, like choosing damon meant something was wrong with her and she needed fixed! She loved Stefan, nobody ever denied that but she fell in love with Damon too, she didn't plan on it and she didn't want it but it happened and she shouldn't have to apologize for being in love and happy. She might've loved Stefan but she loved Damon 100000x more.

    Of course he is selfless. I saw it from the start. I saw his intentions. I saw his behavior. I saw his inner character. He tried so hard to manipulate everyone including himself into thinking he was selfish, but his actions beg to differ. He’s not selfish, he never was. And all these moments show it.
    Let me explain something to you. Damon is something special. He had a lot on his plate. Even when he was human. He Had a traumatic childhood, traumatic teenage hood, and when he was an Augustine-dont even get me started. And he went through all of this with no one except the only people he held on to, which was Stefan and Katherine but they let him down. And at some point He just stopped caring about the world. And at some point that will numb your feelings. Because there will always be a point where you will break tired and come to a final closure that nothing matters anymore. He had to survive physically and mentally through this crucial period. But then he met Elena who looked like Katherine but was the complete opposite. He loved her but He obliterated it so his brother would be happy. Even when he told Elena how he felt he erased it so it wouldn’t effect Stefan or Elenas relationship. And don’t forget Stefan was the one that forced Damon to be a vampire when Damon didn’t want that at all, but you wanna know what Damon did.he completed the transformation so that Stefan wouldn’t be alone. But atleast he got his happy ending...he got the girl!

    I feel like Damon really does not believe he has good in himself,even when his actions often argue the opposite. His demeanour,his sarcasm and dark and self deprecating humour, all indicative to it. So much so that it tends to convince people of the same,and you know how people can tend to stick to first judgements.
    At one point of time, when Stefan was just as cruel or even worse so in, and callous in his deeds, he had Lexi to reassure him, to give hope for a better living. We see Stefan struggle, but I feel like his struggle is always glorified to be that of Honourable, and Damon's good intentions are hidden away, and only the final product is shown. Damon is the villain. And Stefan is the struggling Hero. I do *not* think on Stefan's part it's a act he puts on, but that is the way it ultimately transcends. There's a depth to these characters, and you have to look beyond whats portrayed, Beyond WHEN is portrayed.

    You forgot two reaky inport selfles Damon scenes. When Cade said for Damon choose who he wants to save Stefan or Elena he choosed to kill himself and in the last episode he wanted to sacrfice himself so he could save everyone else. Damon was never selfish. He was always woried abouth others and saving them no metter what happends to him. And yeah I forgot that there is another time when Damon was sooo selfless. He said something like torture me,kill me but don't hurt Elena. I don't remember what exactly he said but I remember the part when he said,, Kill me for all I care, but don't hurt Elena". I think that Damon is the best character ever and I dom't think he deserves for people to think he is the bad guy bc actually he is the best one.

I think him sacrificing himself for Stefan giving up his future with Elena was his most selfless act. He wasted years of his life and bad deeds, living in misery, and he finally has an epic love after being led on for centuries and decides to give it up to save Stefan and Elena.

    Damon was the only one willing to do what everyone else was thinking. He knew who the good ones were and he went after the bad. Yes a lot of people died at his hand but it was for good freaking reasons and they were always to save Elena, bonnie, caraoline, Stefan, and the list goes on. It’s not about the quantity of the people who he has killed it’s about the quality of the people he saved by doing so....he got so much hate and was always called selfish when it’s really the opposite💞

    When damon tells Rebekah to runn....That just showed how selfless he was i mean he risked his life for someone he didn't like , who threatened to kill the women he loves many times and he did it anyways. I mean i cried so bad in that scene , i mean he could've let her die but instead he chose to help her..
    I just hate people who watch tvd and complain about damon being so selfish and evil but the truth is he wasn't . He risked everything for people he cared about .. i mean in the 60's decade dance when he learns that bonnie was going to die you could tell that he was worried about her , even though he "hated" her.
    I honestly believe that damon was always good he was just so much hurt and so was stefan . They had been through to much , they said that they hated each other. The truth is they never truly did.
    The brotherhood between both of them was just so amazing. The last episode of tvd was just so sad , but i just want to make sure everyone understands stefan's sacrifice. STELENA FANS HE DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE HE LOVED ELENA HE DID IT BECAUSE HE LOVED DAMON. ❤ ok he gave his life for his brother , so that he would be happy.
    TVD wasn't about elena and damon or elena and stefan. It was about two brothers who hurt each other more than anyone but who would risk anything for each other .It was about fixing their bond , it was ..about family.👨‍👦♥️

I realized after watching the first 2 seasons that Damon only acted out when he was really hurt or betrayed and couldn't take it and no one ever apologized to him for all the pain he went through he truly was the better brother theirs no debate that's also why I love klaus because when u think about it what has he done for his family or in pain that every one on TVD hadn't done

They would hand Damon another selfless moment in 3x1, and that moment would be a private one... for Elena herself.

      But I don't think Stefan has been given credit for everything that he's done. And yes Stefan owes it to Damon and all. But Stefan sacrificed a lot too for Damon. Both of them have. For each other.
      And Stefan died for damon and Elena to be together. And once he only wanted Elena to be with him, but he realised that Damon is the better man and Elena changed Damon. And made a stronger bond between the brothers.
      And yea , I don't understand how people don't like Damon like cmon he may be bad and stuff but not fully. He's been through a lot. He deserves to be happy. And Damon deserves credit but Stefan does do. Because he too has been through a lot.
      And I don't hate either of them. I may me team stefan but I never hated damon

He is the one who plays hero without asking or getting anything in return. He is the one who has fought for forgiveness, redemption, family, friendship and love, the most.

    Damon first met Elena and ended up with her at the end. Elena was the first person to ask him what he wants and was Damon's only true friend ever since the beginning. Damon doesn't sees Katherine in Elena because Elena cared for Damon and Katherine didn't. Damon always says that he's the bad guy and that elena should pick Stefan over him cause his the good guy but Elena didn't. She told him that there is a part of him that is nice or that he has his humanity. Elena changed Damon to be a better vampire and to always think before making a decision and always care for his brother. I love how Damon and Elena was the endgame cause they changed each other in a good way or in a better way

    I get into so many arguments about how Damon is the most selfless character - because he gets no credit for the good he does and does it anyway. I love this video.
    Another of my favourite selfless Damon moments is when he tells Stefan: "You are not allowed to feel my guilt. You are not responsible for my actions, I own them."
    Damon professes in the same scene to still hate Stefan, but then gives him that gift, helping to ease Stefan's burden of guilt over turning his brother into a vampire.

    Stefan often did not mention how selfless Damon was for him in there human years defending Stefan and Lily from Giuseppes rath knowing that by doing so he would receive abuse in all forms or almost all forms by there Father. As well as Damon wanting to quit the army due to wanting to get home to help Stefan and because he did not think he was on the right side. I am surprised Damon did not want anything to do with Stefan anymore period if I were Damon I would have broken things off with Stefan for good or mostly good at the point in 1864 were Damon asked Lexi to help Stefan.

    I love this vid sfm! I HATE when ppl say he's selfish! Damon could've told Elena they met first when she said in the s3 finale maybe If they met first, he didn't. He had to watch as SE were together even though he loved her, he was still there even though she chose Stefan. I LOCE stefan but he was only selfless when Elena loved him, when she chose Damon he walked away, was a jerk, acted like a 5 year old just because she decided to be with Damon, Damon had to suffer watching SE together, he still stood by her anyway. That's selfless. PPL need to learn the definition or watch TVD again because in s4 when she turned into a vampire he still stood by her, respected her choice to be with Stefan, helped her. She chose Damon and Stefan thinks he needs to FIX her like her choosing Damon is so ooc she needs to be fixed, please NO.

      Um didnt they make a deal? When Elena chooses someone, the other one would walk away so they would be happy? And Stefan was hurt but he knew that he practically drove Elena to it' and understood why she went with damon. And Stefan couldn't do nothing when it was his fault she was a vampire. Damon kept blaming him and he wanted to fix it so he tried to.
      And in season 5 he admitted he wanted damon to screw up but then stopped. And he supported damon and Elena together. When "elena" Kissed him in the motel, he said this is wrong you and damon just split. And he was selfless even when Elena didn't need him for example in season 7 when Elena was not there,he still saved damon? And then left cause he didn't want Caroline or Alaric and his kids get hurt. And in the end he sacrificed himself for damon and Elena. I'd say that was selfless

    i love damon salvatore not just cause he's hawte but because he has the traits I want in a man. His badness and compassion,kind,strong and he's always there for most people. He always carried guilt, and he stayed strong. as much as he wanted to be human he stayed for everyone else. and that's why I love him

    Damon is the type of man that makes sure no matter what he keeps elana safe or if need be he saves her even if she hates him forever. The man is selfless to the highest level. Not only to elana but to everyone close to him or the ones they love.

    When it says “Damon compels Stefan’s snacks to stay quiet” I immediately pictured him compelling a bag of chips 😝

    Wow, great vid! I almost cry at times.
    I love the fact that Damon seems to be the bad guy, but in fact, he's always there to protect people and to help them, no matter what it implies for him.
    Thank you for this beautiful video and sorry for my bad english! :s

    Stefan also told Elena when she erased her memory of him. He said "You loved Damon for the same reasons I do because despite everything that he did we couldnt live without him now you don't have to, but I do"
