![]() Which is why both the relationships are so amazing in their own way.Įlena, after her parents' death, needs the kind of stability that Stefan provides and Damon does not. In the you’re-seventeen-and-I’m-a-hundred-and-s omething-but-I’m-going-to-trust-your-dec isions-because-I-love-you. Damon told the Elena the whole truth because (at least at that time, during the Bloodlines stage) he simply didn't care enough to bother lying.īut because of that, the basic premise remains that the Damon/Elena dynamic is established on trust ("Can I trust you?" "I'm trusting you"), while the Stefan/Elena dynamic is established on respect. And the line of argument that Damon told Elena the truth unlike Stefan is definitely valid, but again, it’s not hard to see why. And since he’s spend a majority of his undead life trying to be ‘human’ instead of the monster he knows that he is or can be, it’d be extremely hard to tell the girl that he ‘loves’ (in inverted commas because srsly show, they fell in love in like two seconds, please) what he is. It’s true that Stefan has lied about a lot of things, and seems to have a chronic inability to tell the truth till he’s metaphorically caught, but it's not hard to see why- he's ashamed of his past to a severe degree, to the extent that he gave up blood-drinking entirely because he's so horrified by it. ![]() Damon, on the other hand, has several trigger points that you won’t discover till you’ve pushed them and suffered the consequences. Stefan has a very definite Achilles’ Heel, human blood. In my opinion, Damon is much more terrifying at times because his actions are so hard to judge. And why the show manages to always get around Damon/Elena somehow. And most importantly why Stefan for Elena at this particular stage in her life. Even more importantly, why Stefan for Elena. If I were to judge the brothers as ‘boyfriends’ on a real-life basis (which is a moot point because well, NOT REAL LIFE), I can understand why Stefan. Therefore, my own theories of Stefan/Elena have been completely invalidated in my opinion and for that I could not be more grateful, because I’m seriously beginning to like them. ![]() The Stefan/Elena relationship was deliberately constructed in such a way so as to make the contrast and things to follow even more stark. Basically, the whole point of the Stefan/Elena build-up was to come to stage where the fall-out is that much greater because of how strong the projection of True Love had been. ![]() However, turns out that what the writers were portraying wasn’t so much ‘epic love’ as much as ‘The Domino Effect’. Okay, I’m beginning to realize I’ve been rather harsh on the TVD writers these past few months of the hiatus have made me realize, they’re actually aware of what they’re doing, who woulda thunk it?įirst things first, it's no secret I ship Delena really hard, and I’ve always had a bit of an issue with Stefan/Elena because of what I’ve been calling the ‘Epic Love Theory’ which just doesn’t work for me, AT ALL. ![]()
