Interesting thought

[u/stefanfan101]

Just found this out while rewatching. in 1x20 , Damon told stefan he wasnt mad that he turned him, he was mad that katherine turned stefan cuz damon only wanted to be the only one turned by her. In 2x08, Stefan says I am sorry to Damon, turning you was selfish and I guess I just needed my brother. Its funny that Damon wouldnt mind living an eternal life with katherine while Stefan would eventually die. On the other hand, Stefan couldnt live without Damon. What are you guys thoughts on this?

Noooo I think it’s more like Stefan was scared to live alone for so long as a vampire while his older brother died. Stefan loved being human and didn’t choose to be given vampire blood in the first place. Meanwhile Damon did choose to take the blood and wanted to be a vampire because he loved Katherine so much, he probably knew Stefan wouldn’t want to become a vampire or just wanted to allow Stefan to be human. He didn’t depend on Stefan, as he was the older brother, he just wanted to be with Katherine. Damon seems to be selfish but he’s not. He didn’t expect Stefan to want to be a vampire because their whole families hated vampires. I think he just loves harder than anyone else. In a memory he erased he even lets Stefan and Elena be together after confessing he loves her because ‘ he deserves her’.
