You prefer Stefan/Elena? Would’ve figured since you like Chair, you like Delena, Damon and Chuck are practically the same archetype
yes i get this a lot lol but i've shipped stelena since day one of that show! and DE is actually like... one of my least favourite ships ever probably? hahaha. (i won't hash out all the reasons or anything because i'm aware that i probably have lots of DE fans following me here, and i don't want people thinking i'm gonna be spending any time on this blog bashing DE or whatever. but feel free to message my main @jenniferslindley if you ever wanna talk more tvd or other fandoms!)
i know it's strange because they are similar to chair in the basic ways, but for me shipping comes down less to liking a specific kind of dynamic regardless of show/character, and more to how i personally understand the characters involved and what i think they want and need, if that makes sense? so my understanding of blair vs elena. to me, blair suits That ship vibe in a way that elena doesn't, and stelena brings out the parts of elena that i think are truest to her and what she wanted out of life (in seasons 1-3 at least, since i stopped watching in s4. tbh based off of what i've heard of the later seasons, if i kept watching, there's a decent chance that i'd have liked steroline too and only shipped s1-3 SE). it's similar to logan and veronica; it's a very intense and often problematic dynamic, but for the character of veronica, it works and makes sense in a way that the exact same dynamic never could for a character like rory gilmore, you know what i mean? chair in general is probably the big outlier in my ship list, like they are very much not my type oddly, so it's amazing that my love for them is still kicking around lol.
