Well apart from the couples i loved the story too equally but unfortunately that went down the drains with season 5.Now coming to the Stelena/Delena part, It's always been Delena for me from day 1. The moment i saw Damon i started shipping them. Stelena is way too boring for me. It's something like 'these two r the hero and heroine and they hv to fall in love'. Not only stelena but this kind of love in any story makes me doze off. Honestly i hv never seen ANYTHING between stelena. Whenever i saw their scenes i was like 'okay i know u both r a couple and so u love each other. So get it over with'. It was not like a love that developed slowly. I normally don't fall for this type of romance because nothing is there is to explore. On top of that both were very boring characters. That's too much for me.
To put it simply, when they show a couple who r already in love my reaction will be 'Okay! Bye'
But it's totally different for Delena. It is a well developed love story. It made me WANT this couple to fall in love. And Elena hated Damon initially and Damon was a bad ass. I'm a sucker for love-hate relationship. That tension between the two made me ship them hard. Whenever their scenes came i was like 'Come on Elena! realize u r in love with Damon'.. Sparks fly whenever they come together.It made me want more and more of their scenes and I will be like 'Damn it when will u both stop fighting and get together?'.THAT is called chemistry.It's a beautiful and well written journey.It's a slow burn. That feel that u get when the couple u hv been wanting to get together for a long time, finally get together after so many hits and misses(Aww my Delena feels). THIS is my kind of story.
So Delena always and forever😃
