Fans seem to think it started with Bonnie nearly dying, but no. It started with Tyler's words. I don't know how many times I've said it, but Damon is deeply affected by the words of others. If him repeating Elena's words isn't proof of that, I don't know what is. Even in season 6, he's telling you how important words are to him... when he talks about her graduation speech. The whole "It's always gonna be Stefan" that gets repeated. The whole "it's the most real thing I've ever felt in my life" that gets repeated. Damon is hot on words. Trust me.

Elena choosing to sacrifice herself to protect her loved ones is no better than Damon choosing to desiccate to protect his loved ones.

I sometimes come across random anti Delena posts that rant on and on about how bad Damon is and how disgustingly horrible it is for Elena to end up with him. tbh, I can't believe fans put so much of their time into hating on Delena, and do so as if expecting Delena fans to jump ship over it, as if their post is the magical rant that will obliterate Delena from the fandom. I'm here with a short of my own.

The full reality is that Matt was the only healthy relationship Elena had in the show. I wouldn't even consider her relationship with Liam healthy. Dating a guy while she's suffering amnesia, and suffering amnesia because she needed to forget being in love with another man is not healthy. She's trying to fill the void.

Delena and Stelena are equally toxic whether fans are wiling to admit that or not. When we talk about the abuse vampires are capable of, I can assure you that Stefan is just as abusive as Damon. While his abuse is more emotional than physical, abuse is abuse. So while Stelena shippers have every reason to hate on Delena, trust me when I say Delena shippers have every reason to hate on Stelena. That's how the writers worked it. They made two equally hated ships, yet two equally loved ships, and they're getting off on the fact that ship wars are still happening because they help keep the show alive. The whole Damon vs Stefan depends on indvidiual preference.

I've seen ten pages worth in one rant. Hell, I've seen videos lasting nearly an hour long. The one thing I ask myself whenever I view these rants, is my god... how many fans have a limited thought process? Do you honestly believe Delena shippers didn't watch the same show? Do you honestly believe the writers didn't know what they were writing? If Damon were everything his haters want to believe he is, this show would have more attention than it already does because victim advocates would be lining up to talk about it, to warn about it, to tell parents that it's not a good show for their teenagers to be watching.

As much as fans wanna believe stupid shit, Elena wasn't sired into a relationship with Damon. Elena didn't become a completely different person while with Damon. And despite his abuses against her and her loved ones, if you're expecting Elena to forgive Stefan and continue dating him, then you should have no problem expecting Elena to forgive Damon and continue dating him. That's partly the reason I'm doing a re-watch. Because as much as fans claim Stefan isn't an abuser, he most certainly is, he's just abusive on an emotional level. If you don't think emotional abuse is damaging, then you're out of your mind.

The writers gave you a Delena endgame. Despite what fans claim, their Delena endgame wasn't necessary even though Nina left the show. Just because they didn't give you a Stelena endgame didn't mean they needed to give you a Delena endgame. They could've killed off both brothers even though Nina left the show. That should tell you something about Damon Salvatore. And they didn't just have Elena end up with Damon, did they? No. They had Stefan telling Elena to her face that Damon is the better man.

The best way to view a show is to view it from both sides. Re-watch for Delena, see what a Delena shipoper sees. Trust me, they're not idiots. They ship as you ship. Go ahead, tell them how easy it was for you to excuse Stefan's abuse. The writers made it clear just how repsonsible Stefan is, and they did it with a single dialogue. "We're all responsible for our own actions. EVERY drop of blood that I've spilled, I am accountable for." That includes Elena's.

This is what Julie said in intervieews that Stelenas ignore:

"When we started talking about how to get Elena and Damon, truth be told, in bed together without having to wait a respectful 25 episodes of mourning the relationship between her and Stefan, we started to talk about different ways to escalate and over-heighten her emotions. Lo and behold, the sire bond was born… For us as writers, it’s just a complication. Elena’s feelings are legitimate. They’ve been legitimately brewing for years. We have watched her bond with Damon escalate over four years."

This is her confirming she came up with the sire bond plot since 3x6: "We came up with it back when we launched Tyler’s hybrid story, actually. When Tyler was sired to Klaus, and Damon said, “Oh, s***, I know what this is,” that planted the seed of, when we finally go down this road with Elena, whoever’s blood she drank to become a vampire sired her to that vampire. From there it was a natural conclusion that it should be Damon, so it’s actually something that’s been in the works for a very long time. The reason we kept the hybrid storyline alive this year and kept it sort of front and center was in order to create that context for the audience so that when we found out Elena was sired, it would all make sense."

I think that's something a lot of fans ignore. The writers cant give adequate time to mourn because it's not real life, it's tv and they're trying to tell a story in a certain amount of time. Fans don't wanna believe Damon and Elena are legitimate and have been. They wanna believe it's the sire bond.

I knew they came up with Delena's sire bond when they created Tyler's because there's a scene he has with Caroline that perfectly set it up as they're meant to be seen. It's when they're painting with glitter, and he tells Caroline that if he's sired to anyone, it's her. That's where Delena's sire bond is born. So when you have Tyler getting glitter on his hands, know why Elena is licking blood from hers in 4x4. The whole vampires don't sparkle until Caroline makes them sparkle lol

The one thing fans may not know, or simply choose to ignore, is the fact that Delena's sire bond is still the combination of Klaus/Tyler and Tyler/Caroline. Tyler hates Klaus, but he loves Caroline. And where that falls into the Delena of it all sits in 2x1. Elena's love for Damon was built from hate. That's why a third party like Klaus wasn't needed with Delena's sire bond. It was there all along in Elena's season 2 hate for Damon. And I do like the fact that Damon is the one to realize Tyler is sired because he would be the one... Charlotte was sired to him. Thank you for sharing this with me.

i just think it’s neat that the entire show is structured around the development of damon and elena’s relationship, evidenced most obviously by the fact that every season finale is not only about delena, but about delena’s journey as it’s been building in each finale that came before it. in the s1 finale damon kisses “elena.” except of course he doesn’t, because she’s katherine, but it means that s2 starts off with a big scandal about whether elena would actually kiss damon or not. despite what she says, when the s2 finale rolls around, she does kiss him. in the s3 finale elena chooses stefan. yet the moments that we’re actually shown on screen aren’t about elena choosing stefan, they’re about the fact that she’s not choosing damon. that’s why she gets the phone call and teary moment with damon, and doesn’t get the chance to talk to stefan about it at all until 4x01. in the s4 finale she does choose damon. in the s5 finale she loses him. in the s6 finale damon loses her. in the s7 finale damon is not reunited with elena despite thinking he hears her in the vault. in the s8 finale damon is reunited with elena when she wakes up. look at it like this:

s1 finale: elena does not kiss damon

s2 finale: elena kisses damon

s3 finale: elena does not choose damon

s4 finale: elena chooses damon

s5 finale: elena loses damon

s6 finale: damon loses elena

s7 finale: damon and elena are not reunited

s8 finale: damon and elena are reunited

you don’t have to look hard to see that it was always about them.
