i mean, they push that in dialogue

and we're supposed to see that because stefan can never let damon die even when he's not supposed to care about anything so it's like as long as stefan keeps saving damon then he's not too far gone

but when it comes to what actually gets him through or gets through to him and to hold on to his humanity,

and what causes an internal shift in him

and what actually causes him to feel and reflect

and when he thinks about standards of humanity

it's elena. stefan even says it

like even with damon "helping" stefan with the blood bags, he says he'll do that in 3x16 and then 3x17 picks up the next day and all we really see is damon say this

but when stefan actually needs help, it's elena's presence he relies on

which keeps in line with 3x03 where you think he's too far gone but it turns out he's not

or 3x05 where he's pushing away the personification of his bloodlust and non-humanity

A very telling part is literally the morning scene with Delena and Caroline and Stefan parallel in 4x08. When Caroline mentioned that Elena's only desire is to make Damon happy no matter what because of the sire bond and it cut to Delena having sex the writers proved there they knew. They're disgusting.

// Yeah, true. And you know, Julie mentioned in an interview that she didn’t even know the meaning of agency when she was writing this storyline, and that’s pathetic.

Yeah, I don’t believe her at all. I’ve never believed that she truly cared about Stelena, and I don’t trust that she would’ve made them endgame.

Because, honestly, the way she treated Stelena in Season 6 says otherwise. She drastically reduced their screen time and didn’t even let them have a proper goodbye because she thought it would overshadow Delena. That’s not how you treat a couple you claim was supposed to be your endgame.

She also never takes accountability. She always blames someone else. With Klaroline, she said she would’ve made them endgame but didn’t because she wanted Caroline to honour Stefan’s memory. Then she said she wanted Steroline to be endgame in the end but She blames kevin that he ruined the Steroline endgame. With Stelena, she blames Nina. Like she has a different excuse for every ship.

To me, she’s just a liar.

And you know, I genuinely think the Stelena ending we got only happened because of Kevin. Otherwise, Julie seemed perfectly happy letting Stefan end up with Caroline. It was Kevin who basically was like “nahh If Stefan can’t end up with Elena, then he shouldn’t end up with anyone else.”

Kevin was the one who gave us a proper Stelena ending, one that honoured their love and made them feel like the true emotional endgame. That’s why I believe the ending we got was because of Kevin. He proved it by giving us an ending that acknowledged what Stelena meant to each other.

In that book which came out recently Julie talked about how Ian and Matt (the actor of Alaric) were very jealous of Paul and Joseph and how they had such cool storylines and character traits and even threatened her to leave the show? So childish but given their outside behaviour not even far fetched. So that's why Alaric got that original vampire killer storyline at the end and probably Damon got Sage and Rebekah at the end of season 3. Hilarious because Ian was so famous amongst fans, dated Nina and got all the awards yet he was jealous of Paul. Julie said there was lot's of frustration going on when The Originals came in especially with Ian and Matt. And love Paul for shading Ian here and there sometimes, Ian's arrogance and his fans ruined The Vampire Diaries after S3.
