Okay, so this isn’t really an anti-Steroline post, but I’m tagging it as that anyway because even though I don’t see it that way, I have a feeling some super Steroline fans would see it that way. But I just have to say something. Also, it will be under the cut, and I’ve warned you that it’s coming up. I take no responsibility for things you might be offended by.
First, I want to say that it’s not so much that I don’t like Steroline, it’s just that it doesn’t feel right for me. It’s just because it feels like Stefan’s second choice, like she felt like Matt’s rebound. I did like Caroline and Matt better than Steroline, though. But I just feel like Caroline is better than being the backup. I don’t think Stefan actively thinks about her in that way, but it feels like that’s the way it is. And it’s not because I ship Stefan only with Elena - I don’t. I love Stelena but I like Delena too. I like Stefan and Katherine. I like Stefan and Lexi. So yeah, there’s that.
So I think I’m one of the few people who really hope that Stefan was serious when he tried to break up with Caroline. I love Caroline with Tyler and Ric (I know not a lot of people liked them, but I thought they were great and I was really sad when Caroline just left him for Stefan when he came back). I don’t want Caroline to take the cure. She is so much better off (she even says it - “Oddly I’m better off”) as a vampire. and Stefan wasn’t able to really control his bloodlust. He kept going from one extreme to the other. He needs to be human. And he needs to be with a human. Not necessarily Elena, but someone who he can actually have a life with.
Okay, I’m getting off my soapbox now.
