Then:

Damon to Stefan(1x03): I'll do, with your cheerleader (Elena), whatever I want
Damon to Elena(1x06): We can cut to the chase if u want, I m not going to kill u right now
Elena to Damon(1x06): Stay away from me
Damon to Elena(1x07): U confuse me for someone with remorse, none of this matters to me anymore
Elena to Stefan(1x12): That doesn't mean I trust him, its going to take a lot more than a roadtrip n rescue to make me forget who Damon is n everything he's done
Damon to Stefan(1x14): I mean this sincerely, I hope Elena dies
Elena to Stefan(2x01): I hate him

Now:

Damon to Elena(2x08): I can't be selfish with u..I don't deserve you but my brother does
Damon to Elena(4x01): I would've saved u in a heartbeat
Damon to Stefan(4x05): I m fine with her (love her) either way
Stefan to Elena(4x06): U trust him, he gets through to u in ways that I can't
Elena(4x08): I think I m falling in love with him...It is real, I know what u r about to do Damon, please don't do this to me
Elena to Damon(4x09): I m just so happy to be here with u
TVD is DE's journey of trust, sacrifice n love and how they have changed each other n for each other. This is the real dynamic of true love

panther-jewel So, here is the promised comment! I like how you point out the differences between what is said at the beginning and now! Delena really have an amazing and unforgattable journey, and you showed us where they came from and where they went to.

"I Hate Him" The Beginning of A Love Story

posted by delenasalvatore

How many love stories begin with hatred? Maybe more than you think...

"...I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry."
(Elizabeth Bennett's rejection of Darcy's proposal in 'Pride and Prejudice'.)

"I peeked up at him one more time, and regretted it. He was glaring down at me again, his black eyes full of revulsion.
(Bella's first encounter with Edward in 'Twilight')

"He doesn't want to feel, he wants to be hated, it's just easier that way. He got his wish. I hate him Stefan."
(Elena, 2x01 'The Return')

It might seem odd...

'9 Crimes' - Nine Arguments Against DE That Don't Make Sense

posted by delenasalvatore

I'm sure you're aware that there are many arguments against Delena; why they shouldn't be together, why it wouldn't work out, why Elena will choose Stefan in the end. These arguments have been bothering me for a long time, especially when I realised that there was no factual basis to back them up, relying instead on what would probably happen. I came up with nine answers to the nine arguments I thought were commonly used. They are all arguments I've heard used by people, I did not make them up. If you love SE and BD and are here by some accident (I know it can happen), or if you don't ship...

Some subtle TVD triangle thoughts

posted by jayteeniftb

Collected from various sources on tumblr. These barely scratch the surface and give you 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 show by 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 books so when I started to watch the show I had no idea what it was about and it didn't occur to me that a love triangle wil be formed.. especially one that includes the heroin and the "villain". as the show 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 friends , 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. Or those who are confused about our loyalty to the show. We are not only watching this show 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 by 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...

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 show 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..... you know I am write and you 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 or 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 show 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 show Delena’s development as twin flames. Because although it is not said 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 or 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 you 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...
