I am writing this because well.. i have a lot fangirl feelings and i need to put them down. Also to knock some sense into people who think an already written destiny is more 'epic' than two people who fell in love with each other unconditionally and irretrievably.

Stefan and Elena, the two doppelgangers were 'meant' to fall in love. They were supposed to be together because the universe had thrashed out a plan, not just for them.. for all the doppelgangers that existed. So all Paul Wesleys and Nina Dobrevs had to fall in love because thats how Tessa had written the doppelganger destiny to be....

1, Elena Gilbert is the reason why Damon and Stefan are at odds.

Ehm, Damon and Stefan were at odds for 145 years, prior to meeting Elena. So, there goes that nonsense,

2, Elena always needs to be saved,

Oh, you mean that time when Stefan got abducted and tortured by the tomb vampires? Or when Damon almost burned in the season 1 finale? Or when Stefan got locked up in a vault? Or when Bonnie used so much magic she died in season 4? Or when Damon wanted to kill Caroline in the beginning of season 2? Or when Caroline was tortured by her dad in order to cure her? Or when Damon was taken by Rebekah...
