Hell Yeah! Stelena Is Life!

Hell yeah! Stelena is life!

'you notice that they were written with more purpose' Lmao! what? Purpose and DE don't even belong in the same sentence. That's been the reason why we've laughed about this whole relationship. Julie may like and cater to that ship and it's fans (as she did in s4-8) but she has written it horrendously. Starting from the beginning of De meeting it has made no sense as to why Elena would even want to be in his presence much less in a relationship w/him. Like you said DE is about Damon. More->

Starting from the beginning of De meeting it has made no sense as to why Elena would even want to be in his presence much less in a relationship w/him. Like you said DE is about Damon. If this anon is asking why Julie continued writing for SE while going with DE in s4-8 I think it was initially suppose to lead back to SE until Nina left, after that I think there were several reasons. One of which is SE were so ingrained in the history of the show she can’t make sense without them even when she tired and failed to do so. How can she not mention and show SE still loving each other? They ARE tvd.”

Well this is what I mean! 

First of all, I don’t think people quite get it when I say that Delena is a relationship that isn’t about Damon and Elena as a couple. Narratively speaking, it’s about Damon. Elena is his symbol, Elena is his target, everything is about what Elena can do for Damon.

For instance, this is what Caroline Dries says about Damon and Elena’s goodbye in 6x22: 

“Dancing on our show, among all the different character couplings, is sort of a motif,” Dries continued. “It’s our way of the characters having sex in like a beautiful way, so it made perfect sense on the road, which is symbolic of Damon’s journey as a vampire[…]”

This is what she says about Stefan and Elena’s goodbye:

“And then there was the location of Stefan and Elena’s goodbye, for which the writers chose the waterfall that Stefan and Elena first visited in season 2. “They had one of their most beautiful relationship moments while they were walking up that waterfall,” Dries said.

Even when the show retcons Damon and Elena’s first meeting, it’s for Damon’s benefit:

It was us wanting to give Damon something to fight for. Ric is unbeatable, a jillion times stronger than Damon. Damon was a dead man, and Ric was relishing beating him, and Damon had nothing left to live for, having been passed over once again. It was just that slight little thing that she said to him, when she was just trying to take the sting off: “Hey, maybe if you and I had met first.” She was just trying to soften the blow. But in reality, he had this memory that gave him the will to fight back. I love that moment, where Ric’s about to drive the stake into him, and he’s like “You know what? I’m not ready to die today.”

But when Stefan and Elena first meet, it’s about them as a couple: 

Julie Plec: In my mind, Elena’s parents are dead. It was a human accident, and a human tragedy, and as we know, the night that Stefan pulled her out of the water and saved her life. That was kind of the beginning of their love story. (source)

Elena is legitimately Damon’s plot line so she actually just has to be there for him to react to, which is why they kept erasing her and building her back up so they could give Damon various situations to navigate. First it was the sire bond and what that means for Damon. Second, it was Elena erasing her memory and what that means for Damon. Third, it was Elena being in a coma and what that means for Damon. 

So if there is any purpose in how “DE” was written throughout the series, it’s about Damon and his development, which is hilarious because he has literally no development with Elena, he never changes, he never matures, he is consistently trash but that’s a different post.

The writing for Stefan and Elena is and always was about them as Stelena because it had to be because that was the root of the show:

KevinWilliamson: Elena was like this walking dead person, she feltdead inside. And along come Stefan, who literally is dead, and looking for away to come back to life. And these two people, these two souls who werereally, you know, out of breath, find each other and learn to breathe again andfall madly in love. And from that, this epic love story was born. (source)

Julie saysTVD’s premise was the girl that loses parents, feels dead inside, meets undeadboy, they bring each other to life. “You want to be able to say ‘This is a showabout this thing’ and at end of show, you have to set up how that will workagain and again.” (source)

which leads to number 2, which you said:

2. “One of which is SE were so ingrained in the history of the show she can’t make sense without them even when she tired and failed to do so. How can she not mention and show SE still loving each other? They ARE tvd.”

Because they have said repeatedly and without fail, that the show was about Stefan and Elena and their relationship

KevinWilliamson: The thing that works so well about this show isthat’s a serialized mythology genre love story. It’s about these two lostsouls, these two dead souls, one human and one a vampire, who are together,their love for each other brings them back to life. I mean that’s epic. (source)

Bob Levi: For thepilot and the TV series to work, the relationship between Elena and Stefan hadto be magic. I said to myself “This is phenomenal”. There is real chemistrybetween Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev. (source)

KevinWilliamson: Is she single right now? Elena is always, nomatter how single she is, she’s still standing there with Stefan. They’re acouple who have conflicts and they have a big one looming. They’re starting totruly disagree about how to handle things. But no, I wouldn’t stay she’s going tostay single by any means. I wouldn’t say she’s single now. She may be arguingor disagreeing with Stefan at the moment, but I don’t think they’re too farapart. (source)

And while I have always said that if JP wanted SE together she would’ve found a way to bring them together (I still think KW could’ve too but believe he believes he needed more time and it’s because of how the finale turned out) I do believe they consistently honour the fact that SE is basically the bedrock, even when they move away from logic and plot and reason, SE is always there because the show is SE:

And all of the gifs I’m posting relate to storylines and arcs between Stefan and Elena throughout the seasons. Of course it makes sense that Stefan would charge Elena to bring him back when Elena has been directly related to Stefan’s humanity since season 1. Of course Elena would confuse a picture of Damon for Stefan when Damon has told her he’s not Stefan for three seasons, and the writers could’ve left it alone, they didn’t need to do insertions like the ‘two epics loves of my life’, ‘Silas is pretty hot’, Stefan didn’t have to ask Elena to bring him back, episodes didn’t have to be written that way, but they can’t help writing for a ship that is so fundamentally ingrained in the show that they literally have their own love theme. Even the necklace returns to an SE symbol after seasons of retcon

which is why in 8x16 Elena is here:

They are really the only couple on the show written well and with purpose that is earned and that can be tracked throughout the series.

Charmed 2018

I've read a lot about this show and I just wanted to say a few things:

1st, the show is fun and, tbh, has way better acting than the original series had. Other than prue and piper's actresses' acting, the show was boring and forced.

The thing about this reboot is that the character's storylines are not that great, so far. I like Maggie, but her character's plotline is killing me. And I love Mel, but she's way too political and serious about everything. I understand where she's coming from and I support all her points of view, but I feel like she's using her beliefs as a weapon of attack and defense, at the same time, and I fear she will end up building a wall around her, shutting everyone out. Macy, however, I like. She's like a gift! She's so cute, intelligent, and the person I relate to the most out of the sisters. I adore her.

I like this reboot and I want to give it a shot. It has only been 3 episodes, things can pick up. Like some have said, it is not a masterpiece, but I have fun watching it and I would like it to have more than one season.

Please, don't do this to me.

ENDGAME THEORY

Hear me out, okay? What if the Carol Danvers we saw in the Endgame trailer was Loki? Right? Loki would pass that summoning-of-the-hammer test, right? Right?

Yep, I’m calling it.

No one’s allowed to disagree with me.

I'm an idiot for doing this, but it is an unique opportunity. So... Sue me

today is the only day you can reblog this ever
