(100) Days of Summer

[dante_kent]

Aloha, amigos (huzzah mixing languages!). Summer has unofficially begun, and I think it's about time for some fun. I've had a crazy few weeks of organizing and festivities and holidays. I just got back from a brief but eventful trip which included my birthday, visiting friends I hadn't seen in ages, and, most importantly, no internet access. So

I ship Stefan/Klaus and Caroline/Klaus with equal vigor. And depending on where next season goes, I may even get on board the Stefan/Caroline train.

My all-time OTP, though, is Angel/Spike. No one else will ever.

You know, now that you mention Klaus, I think I probably shipped Stefan/Klaus and Klaus/Rebekah to an equal degree. Hey, maybe I can truly multiship!

Once upon a time, I could have loved Stefan/Caroline so very deeply. But as it stands now, Stefan/Klaus is the only relationship I think has really done great service to Stefan (other than Stefan/Damon, but even then, it's usually more about Damon). So I think by that standard, Stefan/Klaus is my ultimate Stefan ship. Oh, the good times of season 3. There were bad times too, but ohhh, were there good times.

Stefan's arc in S3 fell apart for me when Klaus compelled him to switch off his humanity. Up until that point, I was loving Stefan's story. After that, he had an easy out for every bad thing he did, ever.

Free will is so much more interesting. Sigh.

That switch-flipping business with Stefan (which I still don't buy, btw - Stefan is far too old for the switch to actually function) was easily one of the most narratively cowardly and weak things the show has done. Still such a disappointing choice, all around. Because of that, Stefan/Klaus became pretty much the only thing I could enjoy about Stefan, because that relationship existed and functioned outside of anything the supposed switch's effects could influence. And Klaus was pretty much the only person on the show who told it true to Stefan. I wish that relationship had had more attention in season 4. They're both at their best together.

THIS, BASICALLY. WHY DOES THE SHOW NOT UNDERSTAND THIS ONE VERY SIMPLE PRINCIPLE.

OMG you are living inside my brain! THIS, YES.
