Delena is the true love story of TVD and Stelena is just an obstacle along the way!

posted by TVlover10

I was thinking about this earlier today and it clicked to me that Stelena’s love story has been a complete joke for a very long time. The writers really have screwed them up royally, but in my opinion I think they have been screwing them up badly since season 1. They have made SE just seem like an obstacle for DE all this time. What you’re about to read further down shows that Stelena has gotten to the point of being constantly mocked on the toon because of the continuous contradictions and hypocritical moments and words shared between both S and E, especially the nonsense that comes out of Elena’s mouth. I love Elena but that girl is the biggest hypocrite ever. But I’m glad she is, and here’s why >>>

“He kissed Katherine, I wouldn’t do that.” – Elena telling Stefan that she would never kiss Damon in episode 2x01
vooruit, voorwaarts to the season 2 finale and Elena kisses Damon. Then season 3 she kisses Damon in episode 10 and in 19, while still claiming to be in love with Stefan. I guess her earlier words proved false. Exhibit Elena’s most hypocritical moment.

“I LOVE Stefan it’s ALWAYS going to be Stefan.” Elena to Damon in 2x01
“I can’t think about ALWAYS all I can think about it right now.” Elena to Damon in 3x22
“I LOVE u Damon, I LOVE you.” Elena to Damon in 4x10
Guess Stefan went from being her always to her right now. And the I love Stefan turned into I love u Damon. Once again her earlier words prove false. Exhibit Elena’s other hypocritical moment.

“That kind of love never dies.” Klaus about Stelena in 3x05
“Are u in love with Stefan?” – Rebeckah in 4x10 “No!” – Elena in 4x10
I guess that kind of love does die. And that line coming from Klaus of all people is enough for it to be mocked considering Klaus doesn’t know the first thing about what love is and what is means. He killed his own mother and daggered his siblings for centuries. Yeah Klaus knows love (Rolls eyes).

“You were the best choice I ever made.” Elena to Stefan 4x01
vooruit, voorwaarts six episodes later she and Stefan break up because she realized she loves Damon and chooses him.
“You.” – Elena to Damon 4x07
(So if Stefan was the best choice she ever made, how come it only took her maybe a week of two at the most to end it with Stefan and choose Damon? Easy Elena is a liar and hypocrite. I guess this is another hypocritical moment from Elena).

“You still have me.” Stefan to Elena 3x20
Elena chooses Damon over Stefan. “I’m done with her (Elena)” – Stefan 4x11
“I promise I will never leave u again.” – Damon 3x05
Elena chooses Stefan over Damon. “Still here.” – Damon 4x07
(This one speaks for itself).

“I love u Stefan hold on to that, never LET THAT GO.” - Elena to Stefan 3x01
volgende minute
“You don’t have to love me like this. The old Elena died going over that bridge LET HER GO.” – Elena to Stefan 4x07
“Erase it all every memory.” – Stefan about Elena 4x10
(I guess Stefan made the choice to let it all go. And Elena told him to let go.) Lol! Epic truly epic… NOT!

“Let’s get one thing straight I am not Katherine.” – Elena to Damon 1x03
“It’s okay to love them both, I did.” – Katherine to Elena 2x22
“I’m talking about how you’re also in love with Damon.” – Stefan to Elena 3x18
(Elena constantly tries to convince herself she isn’t like Katherine, but as Damon once said, “You and Katherine have a lot meer in common than just your look’s.” It’s fair to say Damon knows and understands Elena better than Stefan ever will).

“Stefan is your epic love.” – Caroline to Elena in 3x20
“You and Elena epic, Damon and Elena bleh.” – Caroline to Stefan in 4x07
“Just because I talk a lot doesn’t mean I always know what I’m talking about.” - Caroline Forbes

“Rebeckah says u lie.” – April to Elena in 4x10
Elena lies all the time. And she has been lying about her true feelings for far too long. She has loved Damon all this time and couldn’t say it out aloud. And she had stopped being in love with Stefan long geleden and again couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.
“I care about u Damon, which is why I have to let u go.” – Elena to Damon 3x22
(Next minuut she is chasing after Damon, asking him for help, spending time with him, dirty dancing with him, and finally admitting she has feelings for him. I guess she lied when she zei she only cared about him because clearly it went deeper than that. And she was lying when she zei she had to let him go, because through season 4 she did the complete opposite of that. She couldn’t keep away. It’s clear that phone call Elena made in 3x22 was full of lies because her actions spoke louder than her words all through season 4).

“I lost u the minuut I left town with Klaus. u just haven’t let yourself admit it yet.” – Stefan to Elena in 3x11
(Basically Stefan is saying he knew if he left Elena alone with Damon she would fall in love with him, which she did. Meaning Stefan lost her to Damon when he left with Klaus. And the part about her not letting herself admit it meant that she hasn’t admitted to herself that she is in love with Damon because she’s still living in her denial bubble in that moment).

“That’s what love SHOULD be. u SHOULD love the person that makes u glad you’re alive.” – Elena about Stefan 3x22
(That’s her head speaking for her trying to convince her to love Stefan, hence the use of the word should).
Eg: “I should go to the toilet before I leave the house but I really don’t need nor want to go but I’ll go anyway and just sit there for the sake of it.” (Can u see the comparison? My head is saying I should go to the toilet, but my body/heart don’t need of want to go, so what’s the point of going if I’m just going to waste my time. Also I used a toilet example because Stelena reminds me of something to do with toilets and crap). Haha! ;)
“The problem is Damon when I’m with him, it just consumes me.”
(That’s her hart-, hart speaking, honestly and sincerely saying you’re in love with him stop fighting it).
Elena’s hart-, hart and head are never in sync. She never goes for what she truly wants because she thinks too much and allows her mind to make decisions for her instead of her heart, hence why she always makes bad choices.

“When it’s real, u can’t walk away.” – Lexi season 1
As soon as Elena chose Damon, Stefan walked away. Thus proving Stelena isn’t real.
When Elena chose Stefan over Damon, Damon stayed door her side, and helped her through her transition and even helped keep her and Stefan together. He never walked away, even though he was supposed to he just couldn’t bring him self to leave Elena. And the reason is because it is real between them.

“Do it erase it all, every memory.” – Stefan about his history and love for Elena. He’s willing to forget everything about Elena and all their time spent together and just completely let go of her and all of their past. 4x10
“I’ve made a lot of choices that have gotten me here, I deserve this I deserve to die. But it’s okay Elena because if I’d of chosen differently I wouldn’t have met you.” – Damon telling Elena he’d do it all over again just to meet her because she’s worth all the pain and heartache he’s had to endure throughout the last century. 2x22

I’ve read somewhere that in either season 1 of season 2 Elena zei something to Stefan along the lines of this, “I don’t even know what love is, but I know I love u Stefan.” And apparently she added that ending to not make Stefan feel bad for her saying that. Now if that is true and Elena did say something of that derivative to Stefan that just puts a huge smile on my face. Because it goes back to how Elena zei to matt in 3x22, “You SHOULD love the person who makes u glad you’re alive.” Still at that point Elena clearly doesn’t know what love is, because if she did she would of chosen Damon considering he consumes her because that is what love is. But it took her becoming a vampire to realize the true meaning of love, because her heightened emotions became too intense to deny any longer. That’s why she’s finally admitting she loves him. “It’s the most real thing I’ve ever felt in my entire life.”

Stefan gave Elena a vervain halsketting, ketting to protect her from Damon, ironically Damon is the one who always returns it to her and never takes advantage of her when she isn’t wearing it. But funnily enough the one time he didn’t immediately give Elena back her halsketting, ketting was so he could tell her he loved her. But then compelled her to forget, because he felt it was too selfish of him to allow her to know that. It’s veilig to say Stefan didn’t need to worry about Damon being a problem for Elena without the necklace. Damon proved how amazing he was in that memorable moment in 2x08.

Now to my conclusion, Stefan and Elena went from, “I love Stefan it’s always going to be Stefan.” To, Rebeckah asking “Are u in love with Stefan?” and Elena answering with a big fat and honest, “No.” Damon and Elena went from, “I hate him.” To, “I don’t hate him, I, I think I’m falling in love with him.” To, “I slept with Damon because I’m in love with him.” And lastly to, “I love u Damon, I love you.” So basically Stefan and Elena REGRESSED whilst Damon and Elena PROGRESSED. When u rush into something, meer often than not it never lasts and it comes crashing down in front of your very eyes. But when u take your time with something and are patient and let it develop and grow over time that’s when it lasts forever. Buildings aren’t built over night; if they were they’d be collapsing all over the place. They take time. First u lay out the foundation and then slowly, slowly u place each brick on top, boven of another brick until u reach the very top. And once that building is standing there tall and completed nothing can bring it down. That’s my metaphor about Stelena and Delena. The big difference between the two is that SE happened too quickly and that’s why it wasn’t real. But Delena had slow buildup and that’s why it’s real.

AnamHussain95 Beautiful hun! Absolutely stunning. You perfected everything with the last paragraph of how SE have regressed n DE have progressed because SE was rushed n DE's relationship has been slowly built thus making them stronger n inseparable. I have always believed that for DE, it was necessary for SE to happen. Elena needed that safety n comfort to realize what her heart truly yearns for n who it truly loves (Damon). She is an 18 year old girl whose life has been plagued by all sorts of drama. She barely had any idea of what her future is n who it should be with but now her vampirism has facilitated her growth n maturity thus why she has chosen n admitted she is in love with Damon. I believe that even if she hadn't turned into a vampire, she would have chosen Damon down the road, later in her human life as well. Her decision to choose Stefan in 3x22 was a head over heart choice n it was necessary to give them closure before DE officially happens. DE have always been the real love story even Kevin declared them as that. He once said 'As Katherine said that hate is the beginning of love stories, it was no surprise that we ended the episode with Elena saying 'I hate him'( Damon)' Episode after episode, the writers are proving how SE is no where near real. And 4x10 sealed the deal for me, writers used satirical means by mocking SE, by exaggerating Stefan's pain n him lying that him n Elena broke up because she slept with Damon n Rebekah mocking their 'epic love.' It was all too melodramatic n the writers did that on purpose. Stefan's inability to accept Elena n choosing that she isn't worth anything to him if she doesn't love him. True love? Please! He has always walked away but Damon never has, because like u said, everything between him n Elena is real. SE's love was all illusion n pretense. You don't realize it at first but the more time passes, it becomes clear that, that is all it is; unreal. But DE's love is real. You don't see or realize it at first but the more time passes, it becomes stronger n undeniable. Good Job hun!!

Delenafan2 What awesome points you have made and your explanations seem so on key. You had me cracking up with the toilet comparison. That was classic ;)

TVlover10 @AnamHussain95 and @Delenafan2 Thank you both so much for taking the time to read it :) And thank you both for the kind words. Firstly @Delenafan2 I'm glad the toilet part made you laugh :) I laughed while writing it. Haha! I can't help but make jokes about Stelena because they are one big joke to begin with. Also @AnamHussain95 everything you said ^^^ is so true. I couldn't have said it better myself. Elena as a human was probably the most confused teenage girl ever. That's why she was always answering questions with the exact same answer, "I don't know." Or, "I don't know what I feel." When she became a vampire she found herself. All her feelings and emotions were magnified x1000 that she finally realized what was real in her heart and what was not. And yes, yes the writers have been mocking Stelena a lot especially this season. With both Caroline and Rebecakah throwing around the whole epic love thing. It's clear the writers also see SE as a humorous ship who are now only serving as a purpose on the show to create laughs for us DE fans. The time and effort and how meticulously developed Delena has been over the years is enough proof that they are the true love story of TVD. All other shows that have a favorite couple with the biggest fanbase end up giving them the most buildup and most dramatic story lines. It's because on television the writers and creators work with formulas for the couples on their shows. The favored couple always deals with the most tragedy during the series, and the most heartbreak, and pining. They are always labelled the will they won't they couple of the show who ultimately end up together in the end. That's exactly what Damon and Elena are. :)

Vampirefan10 Hey. I LOVE your article and I agree with you 100%. I have always seen Stelena as an obstacle as well since Delena is true love and they will end up together in the end. last episode proved it too so it shows that Damon and Elena are a stronger couple in the end. Thanks again for writing this :)

HaleyDewit I love your methaphor at the end :) And the rest of the article as well, of course :)

TVlover10 @vampirefan10 and @HaleyDewit Thank you both so much for reading my article :) I'm glad to know you enjoyed it and agree. Go DELENA! :)

panther-jewel I so agree with you that there was never anything special about SE, and I thank you for pointing out that their relationship was even being made fun of by the writers. But DE is so legendary and unforgettable, and you showed that well with the quotes. I especially liked how you described the changes, put the focus on foreshadowing phrases and analyzed the differences betweed Defan and how they reacted in similar situations. Delena are THE couple of TDV, and they have the best and most unique love story ever. They are meant to end up together, and we will never stop believing that!

twilightlover73 As a shipper of both couples I must point out: A) Elena is now sired to Damon AND her feelings are magnified B) When Elena was human she chose Stefan, but vampire Elena is different, she chose Damon. That's the big picture here. C) It's ironic how DE fans were complaining on how SE fans were saying that Delena is an obstacle for Stelena, and now they're saying the exact same thing about Stelena. Speaking of hypocrites.

TVlover10 @twilightlover73 Firstly thank you for taking the time to read my article :) Secondly we both obviously have different opinions. However I stated very clearly in my article that I believed Elena was more in love with Damon as a human than she was with Stefan but it took her becoming a vampire and having her feelings and emotions magnified that finally woke her up to what she really wanted and felt. I said her choosing Stefan was a decision based on her head trying to convince her, whilst her heart really wanted to choose Damon. Elena admitted she is no longer in love with Stefan in 4x10, which I believe is very true. There is no way she can stop being in love with him in that short of time since choosing him, so the only explanation is she has been out of love with Stefan for a long time. It just took her becoming a vampire to finally realize that and admit it to herself. Also Elena being sired to Damon has nothing to do with being in love with him. Damon never out right said to Elena you falling in love with me and falling out of love with my brother will make me happy. In fact Damon tried constantly to help Stefan and Elena fix their relationship and get through their problems. Elena just didn't want Stefan anymore. It has nothing to do with the sire bond. And I've never been one of those DE fans that complained about SErs saying Delena is an obstacle to Stelena. Because I've known since the start of the show that Delena was the real love story of TVD. Hence the buildup and development they've had over the years. It's a standard formula on television shows that the favored couple of the series is always kept apart up until the very end. They have plenty of troubles, tragedies, hardships, angst, drama, pining and obstacles to overcome before they can end up being together. That's why I'm convinced Stelena is just an obstacle for Delena. Because SE have never gone through the same problems as DE. For two whole seasons they remained a couple and if they had an obstacle thrown their way it would last for one lousy episode and then quickly be resolved. Whereas Delenas obstacles lasted throughout multiple episodes or even a whole season. That's the writers way of showing the audience which couple they care for more and take more time to perfect and create big climatic moments for. Delena kisses, love making scenes, I love you scenes and emotional scenes are the most anticipated moments in the show, and the reason is because they are the main love story. And please don't call us DErs hypocrites. SErs are the biggest hypocrites. They call Elena a slut when she's with Damon, but if she runs back to Stefan she's a perfect little angel again. Sorry for the long reply. :)

panther-jewel @TVlover10: Thank you so very much for your last comment; I tried to think of an answer to twilightlover73, but you came up with a perfect one. You are so right that Elena becoming a vampire helped her to realize the truth and to stop fearing giving in to her emotions, but she already loved Damon as a human - her head decided in 3x22, NOT her heart. And vampirism only makes feelings stronger, but it doesn't change them or create new ones; and Elena's feelings for Damon were already consuming and at their extremes before she turned. And everybody agrees that the "sire bond" doesn't effect emotions, and - like you said - Damon didn't "order" Elena to love him. And Elena still loves Stefan, she is just not in love with him, so that those emotions only became intenser like her feelings for her family and friends; but Elena suppressed her love for Damon for a very long time, and when she finally admitted it, it therefore exploded. And human Elena and vampire Elena are pretty much alike, very loyal, full of compassion, and caring about her loved ones; Elena is now only happier, maturer and more alive, but that came with her realizations and her stopping to fight and giving in to her true love, and it has nothing to do with her form of being. I also liked how you described the predetermination from the start and how that follows common television rules.

twilightlover73 I know her loving Damon has nothing to do with the sire bond, but let me point out something from your article: [i](Next minute she is chasing after Damon, asking him for help, spending time with him, dirty dancing with him, and finally admitting she has feelings for him.)[/i] That was because of the sire bond. Coming to him for help and wanting to always stay close to him is a part of it. Then her loving Damon is another thing. That's when she admitted his feelings for him, as you stated above. I am not defending or stepping against either of the pairings, if that's what you think, don't get me wrong, because like I said before, I do like both Stelena and Delena equally :) My mistake, then. Just that I've seen people on this spot saying that Stelena fans always bash Delena, but then again, they bash Stelena too. And I came around this subject, the "main love story/obstacle" thing quite often. But it's good to hear you're not one of those. I'm not saying all DE fans are hypocrites, there's always a bad side of a fandom and a good one. I just said that about the ones that actually do what I said above.

twilightlover73 And, I'm just pointing out, and what I'm about to say is not only about Delena and Stelena. When you're in love, you shouldn't use only your head, that's true. But you shouldn't use only your heart either. Meaning, in love, in successful love, you should find a balance between your heart and your mind, you should use both. And well, in Elena's case, I she needs find out with which of the brothers she can find balance between her heart and her mind, until then, we shall wait.

TVlover10 @panther-jewel Firstly thank you so so much for reading my article :) I just saw your other comment further up and am now replying to that also. And I loved what you just wrote now as well. That was spot on. Elena is still the same person, you're so right. She is still willing to die for her loved ones and she still cares about everyone and everyone's feelings. SErs are the only ones who think Elena's changed so drastically. I absolutely love Elena as a vampire. She's happier, STRONGER, more in touch with her feelings, remember her as a human shed recycle the same line over and over, "I don't know how I feel." As a vampire she knows what she wants and what she feels. Magnified feelings make it impossible to deny the truth. Thanks again for your comments lovely :)

TVlover10 @Twilightlover73 See I don't think the sire bond is the reason why Elena has been going to Damon for help throughout this season and chasing after him. And the reason I think that is because Elena told Stefan in 4x02 that she went to Damon for help because she thought he would understand. Elena and Damon have always had that understanding between them, especially when she was a human. I just honestly think she felt Damon wouldn't judge her or make her feel bad for not being able to drink animal blood like Stefan would have. And her dancing with Damon in 4x04 was her giving into her feelings for him because she got caught up in the moment. At that point Elena was clearly in love with Damon, but when Bonnie showed up Elena's guilt became the problem. Again her mind kept saying what are you doing, you're dating Stefan and dancing with his brother it's morally wrong. But her heart was saying dancing with Damon and being close to Damon is what I want because I love him. She was torn again as always. Her heightened feelings for Damon once she transitioned made it really difficult for her to stay away from him. She needed him. Damon tried avoiding her, he stayed out of her way and made it clear he didn't feel right being around her. So if anything the sire bond should of kept her away from Damon because that's what Damon wanted at that point so he could deal with his heartbreak alone and try move on. Also the only thing the sire bond so far has done is make Elena drink human blood, which actually turned out a positive thing in the end. Because she was able to learn how to feed without killing anyone and now she can happily sip on blood bags so she can get her standard blood fix when needed. If she had gone with Stefan's way she would of become a ripper or crazy killer down the road. And her killing Conner cannot be entirely blamed on the sire bond either because Elena's anger was already forcing her to spiral. She was furious with what Conner did to her brother that she went to warn him to leave him alone but then Conner tried to kill her so in self defense she snapped his neck. It was only a matter of time before Elena had her first kill anyway. Baby vamps at least kill once in the early stages. So as I was saying, at this point the sire bond hasn't really affected anything in my opinion apart from the blood situation. But I could be wrong. This is all just my opinion after all :) And what you said about the head and heart thing is very true. I must agree with you there. But see as a human Elena was a teenage girl who was very much in denial, hence why she always repeated the same line "I don't know how I feel." She was also quite confused. She made an impulsive decision based on her head trying to convince her that Stefan was a safer option. But when she became a vampire she saw the selflessness of Damon, firstly by remembering every thing he compelled her to forget, also by him helping her through her transition, and by teaching her how to feed and how to make being a vampire fun rather than wallowing in her pity and depression. So in episode 4x06 when she had that huge epiphany and life changing experience she said to Damon, "My head is clear." At that point her head was finally free of all the guilt, all the confusion. For the first time her heart and head were in sync with each other. Her heart told her head you're in love with Damon, be with him choose him. And that's exactly what she did :) So there's the balance you were talking about, she found it with Damon.

delenasalvatore VERY interesting article(!) I think that it was in 2x20 'The Last Day' when SE go mountain hiking together, when Elena said something like "He (Damon) doesn't know what love is, and to be honest, I don't know if I do. I'm only seventeen, how am I supposed to know any of this yet?" She then says "I know that I love you Stefan". I mean, she's totally contradicting herself. The whole statement is a contradiction because Damon DOES know what love is. He knows much better than she does. It's Elena who doesn't know. How can she 'know' she loves Stefan...if she actually doesn't 'know' what love truly is? It seems to me that you can own up to one or the other but not both. Elena has let her head dictate her heart for a long time. Probably because Stefan got her life back on track after her parents died. I believe she only chose to stay with him at the end of S3 because her loyalty to him wouldn't allow her to choose Damon, even though he was the one she really wanted. And I think her "The best choice I ever made" was said as much to reassure herself as it was to reassure Stefan. She wanted to believe she had done the right thing, even though if she HAD chosen Damon, her car would never had met Rebekah going over that bridge, wouldn't have crashed into the river etc, and she would still be human. SE happened way too fast. I think the speed in which they got together, along with their frequent declarations of love and their 'coupleyness' convinced a lot of people that it would indeed always be Stelena. But I never believed that.

TVlover10 @Delenasalvatore Thank you for taking the time to read my article :) Also thank you for letting me know which scene it was where Elena talked about not knowing what love is. I couldn't remember at all where to find it, I guess Stelena scenes are that easily forgettable. Anyway you're so right. She contradicted herself completely in that scene. You can't say one minute you don't know what love is, then go on to say to someone but I know I love you. If I was Stefan I would of walked away then and there. What a punch in the face to him that must of been. Also yes I hate how she says Damon doesn't know what love is, when clearly Damon knows better than anyone on the show what love is. But luckily now Elena finally sees that and knows the truth about Damon. I agree with you also about how Elena stayed with Stefan out of loyalty. It's clear that in season 3 she had fallen in love with Damon. Her feelings for Stefan were diminishing by the second. Unfortunately though her head kept convincing her to go back to Stefan even though her heart was pleading with her to choose Damon. It's quite tragic when you think about it. But it also explains why Elena was so heartbroken during the phone call she made to Damon when she told him who she would choose. But yes, yes for so long I have been saying the same thing, about if Elena had chosen Damon she never would of crossed paths with Bek, there would of been no accident and Elena would of never died and turned into a vampire. So really Stefan wasn't the best choice she ever made. But then I'd like to think of it as the writers throwing in a little bone for us DE fans. So basically that speech Elena made about Stefan being her best choice was because her choosing him, led to her dying and becoming a vampire. And during her transition she saw every thing Damon compelled her to forget so she finally realized Damon isn't as selfish as she thought. So with her magnified feelings and her new out look on Damon she finally allowed herself to give into her consuming love for him and finally choose him. And that's why Stefan was the best choice she ever made, because ironically that choice led her to choosing Damon in the end :)

twilightlover73 I noticed one thing, that all of this is basically just our different opinions. So I guess we can both agree to forget this happened, counting that both of us technically belong to the same fandom. And well, I don't really see the point in arguing any further. (I'm not even sure we were arguing, tbh) After all, every seat in the theater has a different view.

TVlover10 @twilighlover73 Very very true :) We are both just stating our own opinions here. So technically there is no wrong or right answer, it's just how we ourselves perceive the show when we watch it. And no this wasn't an argument, I prefer to call it a discussion :) With both of us just trying to get our point across.

loveofdelena stelena fans can argue that elena's love for damon isn't real, and viceversa all they want, but it's quite obvious that characters actions, and there behaviour in the show is telling us a completely different story.

badg1rl TVlover10 you are brilliant!! It s a pleausure read your articles.

DelenaLove201_ The thing is, Stelena is a formula. It's all something that's expected to happen, something you write down in textbooks and memorize. Delena is the reaction. Unpredictable, but so definite and undeniable that you can't help but watch in awe and fascination as they unfold before your eyes.

darkwarrior647 AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the most Hilarious article I've ever read,i must say u r a GENIUS to come up with something like this.you know if a stelena fan read this they'll break i feel bad for them but what u wrote is only the truth,once again an amazing article KEEP UP THE GUD WORK.

fictionloverana I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS. Like for real! Thank you. I NEEDES this. Especially because you d deconstructed it so well. Your analysis is ON POINT. Even though I love Stefan and Elena separately as characters, I could never feel the same about them as a couple. Yes, they were cute and in sync, peaceful and understanding but they were far from epic. They were too comfortable and easy and hence boring and didn’t feel real. With Damon and Elena the deal was real. SO real. They loved each other despite each other. Their contrasting personalities brought out the best in each other. She gave him roots. He gave her wings. She loved him despite his evilness for she knew it’s born out of a place of hurt and has room for improvement. While he loved her with all her plane black and white and hence dishonest personality and helped her discover her real self. I loved how their bond developed when Elena was with Stefan but had grown so comfortable with Damon while he cloaked his care for her as his bad boy attitude. She admits it herself, she never “let” herself be attracted to him, meaning that she was. She was just fighting it. Her feelings were already there. That’s what triggered the sire bond and Damon out of all the people wanted it to be gone the most because he wanted the real deal. Turning into a vampire only brought out her real self in all its magnitude and intensity. Something she wouldn’t have managed to do as a human because of her faulty notions of right and wrong, all which Damon had been challenging constantly. Even when she chose Stefan over Damon, you could see she’s trying to justify it with her meeting Stefan first and is clearly heartbroken about it. Had she not turned into a vampire, her feelings would have caught up to her sooner or later. Delena was the real deal. They NEVER left each other. Through everything, they didn’t give up on each other knowing how faulty each of them was as individuals. Their passion, adventure, challenge, danger, trust, warmth, respect was all real. They brought out the best in each other and worked through the worst. Stelena on the other hand seemed all goody two shoes and honestly made me cringe. But what Delena had was what you hope to have and happen in true love. If that’s not true love, I wonder what is. So thank you for writing this. We need more minds like yours. And the hearts! ❤️ P.S I love your toilet reference. Gave me a good long laugh! 😅

Some subtle TVD driehoek thoughts

posted by jayteeniftb

Collected from various sources on tumblr. These barely scratch the surface and give u a little insight into the show. Interpretation not 100% correct and open to debate.

Thoughts on stefan/SE:

Stefan is not who he appears in the Pilot. He starts the toon door saying “This is my story” and constructing himself as a version of himself who just wants to start a life with the human doppelgänger of the girl he loved so long ago. Who just wants to live a life in peace drinking animal blood in the town he grew up in without the torment of his older brother. Rewatching early season one with the...

Damon and Elena the wrong choice

posted by delenaforever7

why season four has been the perfect timing for delena to happen .... first I want to say that I've never read the boeken so when I started to watch the toon I had no idea what it was about and it didn't occur to me that a love driehoek wil be formed.. especially one that includes the heroin and the "villain". as the toon went on I never bought the relationship between Stefan and Elena it was based on lies and secrets, and it was too rushed that I didn't see the " falling in love " part ... at the same time I started to see Damon and Elena as vrienden , they started to earn each others trust...

Why People Are Going To Jump Ship If Elena Picks Stefan For No Reason

posted by DelenaLove201_

For all the people do don't want to see the ratings drop if we all quit watching. of those who are confused about our loyalty to the show. We are not only watching this toon for Delena. I, personally, watch this for quite a few reasons and I'm sure many (if not most) other Delena fans do as well.

These include...

Interesting relationships- Dalaric...is dead. Klaroline...is dying. Deremy...missed its time. Steroline...is hindered door Stelena. I know Stefan is the 'good guy' and if he managed to stay on the wagon he wouldn't be bad for Elena in the long term either. But does anyone really want to...

u Set My Soul On brand (A Damon & Elena Fanfiction) Chapter 3

posted by AnamHussain95

~ Chapter 3 ~

Both Stefan and Elena were broken out of their thoughts at his voice and there was silence before Stefan finally started after a deep sigh, 'Maybe u should sit down, Damon'

Elena eyes were burning with tears and her eyes were fixed on Damon as if, if stopped looking, her hart-, hart wouldn't continue beating. Damon made his way over to the oranje divan, bank n sat down with his elbows on his knees. She could smell him. Elena could breathe in the scent of the coconut shampoo, the fresh smell of his body wash, the scent aroused her, she took in a deep sigh and it took everything in her to...

the truth about the love triangle, no matter what stelena fans think.

posted by magggie13

I am in love with Vampire Diaries. However, it is my duty as a fan to not stand aside and watch the writers and the fans of this spectacular toon make the biggest mistake ever! Love is a very passionate thing and no matter who Elena chooses in the end if she chooses stefan..... it will be the biggest mistake she will ever make in her life and for the Stelena fans..... u know I am write and u are probably thinking who the hell is this person Stefan is hot, well i will admit he is pretty hot, but love depends on passion and how much a person connects and damon and elena have a relationship(besides the sire bond) that i am pretty sure any girl of maybe guy....... would kill for. so if the writers choose the wrong one i am sorry to say but they do not understand love and that is a shame because this is the perfect love story.

"Trust the story, not the story-teller"

posted by panther-jewel

I asked myself why the Elena from the TV toon is so different from the Elena from the books. In the books, Elena is a spoiled highschool queen at the beginning of the story and stays very bossy throughout the books, while Katherine is a docile and obedient Renaissance girl, until she becomes insane. And one reason for this change in the characters could be that it is easier to toon Delena’s development as twin flames. Because although it is not zei like in the books, all of the parallels of DE in the show, the fact that they are so much alike ("She already IS like me.") and everything else...

The Truth About Love: Why Elena's Logic in 4x01 Doesn't Make Sense

posted by delenasalvatore

fan art by nian13

After watching the amazing "I remember everything" 4x01 scene and Damon's awesome speech defending his decision to save her first, even if Matt had died, something has been playing on my mind that I wanted to write about and share with you.
Elena's logic about Stefan respecting her because he listened to her, whereas Damon is selfish and couldn't let go doesn't make sense.
Quick re-run of 3x22: Elena values Matt's life before her's, and her decision is for Matt to be saved first, even if it means she dies in the process. Stefan doesn't like this. He wants to save Elena first, not Matt, but...

Bless The Broken Road; The Love Story of Delena

posted by delenasalvatore

fan art by ggdelena

"I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along a broken road
I got lost a time of two, wiped my brow
Kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

That every long lost dream led me to where u are
And others who broke my heart,
They were just northern stars pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God bless the broken road
That led me straight to you."

(Rascal Flatts)

Whenever I try to imagine what a picture of Delena's journey looks like, I know it wouldn't be one straight, smooth road, free from obstacles or...

Why DE fans have no reason to give up, DE is coming.

posted by corneliagirl101

I think there are a multitude of purposes behind Damon not getting the girl...yet. First of all, she still has feelings for Stefan and their relationship problems this season have been over what Klaus did to Stefan and the effects it had on his character, not because of the relationship itself. So this relationship needs real closure, closure that can't be blamed on Klaus and their faithfulness to one another had to be rewarded. Second, Elena, as human, possessed an appreciation for the type of love Stefan gave to her because of it's influence on her recovery after her parents death, and the...
