this wasn’t like a lot of their other fights where they sort of tumble around . this wasn’t a fight . this was ‘You’re supposed to be my brother. I gave up everything including the girl I LOVE for you. Why couldn’t you stop yourself from r… . ‘Why couldn’t you ever just be my big brother? Why do you always have to want what I want? WHY CAN YOU NOT LOVE ME MORE?’ . and then he just punches him . because it isn’t fair . this is his brother. and he spent over a century blaming himself for his brother’s misery. and it never makes a difference. . his brother will never really forgive him. . he’ll never choose him. . and lil bro!Stefan is ANGRY and HURT . he couldn’t leave Elena alone. Damon acts like he doesn’t understand their bond. like he doesn’t care. . this punch is basically: ‘WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME?’ . damon doesn’t understand FAMILY . and I wish he did . because this is the true love story. . they let katherine come between them—and before that they let their father do it—and now elena. nothing is sacred . and some day Damon’ll have to understand that you don’t sacrifice yourself because you owe your family. You do it because you love them. . because that’s the thing. Stefan loves Damon. And sure he loves Elena. But that’s different. . he isn’t punching him for loving elena. he’s punching him because he wanted him to love HIM more . and that makes me so sad .
oh my god
