SEer on twitter comes at me with "stefan and Elena belong together. Damon said it himself" I told her "Maybe Elena should see stefan's rutheless side 1st. Kill someone for fun. Then see if Elena feels the same." She responds "but that's not Stefan, he's too sweet."
--> gahhhh! are you kidding me with that.! This is part of who stefan is. He may not act on it but it doesnt just disappear either. Stefan only ever shows elena his "good" side. SEers say Elena does know his Dark side. He goes to great lengths to hide it from her. He doesnt say about his dark past cuz he doesnt trust enough in elena that she will accept this side of him. Could Elena even imagine that Stefan could ruthelessly Kill someone for the sheer joy of it? No Elena can't even entertain this Idea. Elena thinks hes "good guy" that he would never go around and kill somebody just for fun. I think Stefan is scared to death that if Elena learned that he wasn't always the "good guy" that Elena might not love him anymore. That Elena's image of him being a sweet and gentle guy might be tarnished.
So I got the argument that Elena does know. But does she really? She sorta knows about Stefan threatening John. BUT she didnt see the manner in witch he actually threatened him. Make John into a vampire. something with witch he hates and would loathe himself for eternity if he was one. would Elena want her father to suffer this way? I cant imagine she would. so She would not approve of him using this tactic to get rid of john.
Stefan also had no problem trying to torture Katherine but if Elena was watching him would he have altered his behavior to appear kinder in Elena's eyes. Im positive that he would have.
I don't think true love can be built when one person doesnt know the other. I don't think Elena really knows Stefan. She only knows what he shows her and that 'ideal' version of Stefan is what she is in love with. I believe Elena would be devistated to learn Stefan hid his past from her. That he wasnt totally open with he from the start.
I think I would like Stelena a bit better if Stefan could be honest and actually trust that Elena would accept him reguardless.
What i love about DE is that what Damon and Elena have is open and he trusts in Elena whole-heartedly. No matter what he says or does she understands and accepts him for who he is. He may have his Bad-boy mask on to the world but with Elena he doesnt have to put on that act. He can be true to himself.
