Ooh a TVD secret.

I love all versions of Stefan, whether it is being a perfect boyfriend and/or chaining his ex girlfriend up in the basement and/or going on a murderous rampage in the past. IDC. I also think that in general Stefan is pretty good about owning up to his past life. And as far as we've SEEN, he hasn't really done anything I'd say was "worse" than Damon and so it wouldn't surprise me if Stefan was actually being his own worse critic. I also feel like in a season where Damon, as one of the good guys, continues to victimize and compel women and even occasionally physically abuses the woman he claims to be in love with... it is pretty easy to consider Stefan the "good" one.

Personally I would love to see more of Stefan's darker side (MAYBE HE CAN THREATEN JOHN IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN, THAT WAS GREAT \o/), which I think is a very different dark side than the one Damon has. Maybe next season.

I ♥ you, your Stefan love, and your ability to see the flaws in his character.

ty! There's been so much Damon versus Stefan stuff in fandom lately that I wasn't sure whether to comment, BUT I JUST CAN'T NOT.

IA, so much.

I still love Damon though, I just wish the writers would either 1) make him the bad guy or 2) redeem him. They're trying to do both at the same time and it's not really working. I'd say he's going in the redemption direction but seeing as he snaps almost every episode, I don't know if it will ever actually happen.

Oh the rants I have engaged in.

In some ways, it has made for very interesting, compelling TV. But I hatehatehate the thing with Andie. He's been compelling and feeding from and having sex with this woman and has faced almost no consequences from it or even been called out for it. She's been used as a way to show his Deep Inner Pain with almost nothing about how she is suffering as a victim. It's really those scenes, more than anything, where I don't understand how the writers want us to see Damon. :|

Yes, I agree. Now, I feel like viewers should hold Damon & Stefan to a different standard because, well, they're vampires. They're supposedly bad by nature, so we shouldn't be surprised that Damon is doing bad things and not really feeling remorse about it. The problem I have is that they aren't making it out to seem like what he's doing is all that wrong, and even further, are trying to make viewers feel bad for him because of all his "pain."

But I find his and Stefan's complex personalities/histories interesting... as bad as some of the things they do/have done are, I cannot deny that I'm very intrigued when I watch them do what they do. :P

This is basically everything I ever wanted to say to Stefan haters (which on tumblr, is pretty much the majority), but I'm just not as good with words.

And yes! Darker side! I got goosebumps when in 2.19 he said "I said GO!" to Jenna. Chills.
