The Way They Also Ruined Steroline By Making Stefan Worse - Tumblr Posts

I'll never understand people who believe Stefan and Elijah are the ones who are codependent in their relationships with their brothers.

Damon was constantly popping up in Stefan's life because he didn't know how to stay away from his brother, and he was always on the verge of tears whenever he had to leave him again (because he was, of course, a bad influence on Stefan, Lexi repeatedly told him that and Damon left him for a few years before eventually always going back to him), Elijah left Klaus alone for only twenty years, I believe, and Klaus literally lost his mind, drowning in his own paranoia - not to bring up how he always prioritized his brother over his own daughter. And let's not even talk about how he acted in season three of The Originals only because Elijah was rightfully mad at him.

The writers ruined their characters so much to make their more popular but downright more evil and irredeemable characters be more loved, hence why "the better man" is apparently Damon or why Klaus somehow is the better brother to his siblings and less evil than Elijah.
