What's your opinion on Kevin Williamson's latest interview on Delena? It seemed to depress, annoy, anger and strike fear in the hearts of a lot of shippers.
“Just because we’re putting her with Damon doesn’t mean they’re going to end up together. And it doesn’t mean they’re going to get together.”
OK, I can understand why this would upset प्रशंसकों even though it didn't particularly bother me. प्रशंसकों seem to leap to dramatic conclusions about the future of DE whenever Kevin या Julie make any kind of टिप्पणियाँ which apparently सवाल या challenge whether DE will ever become romantically involved. Kevin and Julie seem to make a habit of raising doubts about Delena in the press, and that annoys a lot of people who wish they would just say something positive या nice instead. A few weeks ago, Kevin was saying the opposite. He said: "I do want to see Damon and Elena get it on." So what is he really saying?
Kevin and the rest of the producers प्यार playing games with the fanbase, and with us especially. This will undoubtedly irritate you, but there's something else going on that आप might not be aware of. Kevin and Julie say contradictory statements about Delena all the time, but they never play games with Stelena प्रशंसकों या say things which challenge their 'epic couple' status, which hardly seems fair to us. However, the fact that they talk about DE often should tell आप something about how important they are to the show. Kevin never seems to talk about Stelena, and if I were a Stelena fan, then that would probably worry me. He also never talks about Bamon unless he is specifically asked, which is almost never. Once again, if I were a Bamon shipper, then this would worry me. I think that DE प्रशंसकों feel that they are being unjustly targeted द्वारा the producers, but maybe we should look at things differently. Maybe SE/BD shippers are feeling/looking smug right now, या maybe they are secretly annoyed that the producers only ever want to discuss Delena instead of SE.
We need to remember that the producers frequently say misleading things about characters and story arcs which are meant to deceive us. For example, they कहा one recently about Bonnie being 'front and centre' of Season 3, when all it REALLY means I suspect, is Bonnie being needed for her magic and spell-casting. They have made it perfectly clear that they are willing to say things that appeal to one fanbase या another, and that they may not be accurate in what they SEEM to be saying. I wouldn't be too sure that Kevin is implying that DE don't stand a chance. If he is saying that, then he's implying that SE are going to be endgame. Would Kevin ever tell us who's going to end up with whom before it happens? I think the answer's got to be no. I know that some DE प्रशंसकों don't believe this, but with everything we know about the kind of statements Kevin and Julie make to the press about DE, I would be astonished if he chose to give the game away so early on.
I used to be upset whenever I read interviews in which the producers gave off conflicting या semi-negative vibes about Delena, but now I barely notice. In fact, I और या less expect it from them now. The producers don't mind misleading प्रशंसकों in order to retain the element of surprise, या shock. In order to be successful at this, then they have to gain the upper hand. They can't have प्रशंसकों accurately predicting what will happen. Therefore, it unfortunately stands to reason that Kevin will make it look like a dim and distant prospect for DE to ever get together sometime this century. He's not going to come out and say: 'Yup. I can one hundred percent कन्फर्म that Damon and Elena are officially ON this season. They're going to be so hot, they'll make your आइस क्रीम sundae melt,' (although that would be nice.) He's never going to come out with it and कन्फर्म they'll be getting together. He has to make it look difficult and maybe even unlikely. Kevin and Julie know that the biggest pulling power their दिखाना has is Delena. They never talk about Stelena that much except to gush over how 'epic' their romance is because no-one really cares about them anymore - not even Kevin and Julie. But SE are needed to keep the त्रिकोण, त्रिभुज going, and if it looks like there's a crack in their relationship, then प्रशंसकों will automatically assume that DE are on the way. Even if that's the case, it's the producers job to paper over that crack and keep up the facade for as long as SE are a couple.
“It’s about defining their roles,” says Williamson of the arc. “Are they going to be friends? Lovers? How are they going to define themselves? Because it will be a defining moment for both of them.”
Kevin is actually talking about Damon's struggle to step it up and be the 'good' guy here, and how that will affect his relationship with Elena. I think we all know that DE are never going to be 'just friends', and they certainly won't be just फ्रेंड्स for the remainder of the show. What would be the point of that?! He's teasing प्रशंसकों here, as if there's any uncertainty on the horizon for DE. I don't like the fact that the producers tease us so much. And I definitely don't like the way they play games with us to give us the wrong impression, but I can see why they have to do it. Maybe Kevin and Julie only appear nonchalant about Delena to appease other fanbases but I highly doubt that they are actively seeking to anger us. They cannot give us straight and honest जवाब about the relationships in the दिखाना without revealing what's going to happen. So they have to talk their way round it to avoid giving too much away, या else talk a lot of kerfuffle which doesn't make much sense. Does Kevin really believe that the प्रशंसकों will buy it when he says “Just because we’re putting her with Damon doesn’t mean they’re going to end up together." Delena carry the show!! It's a प्यार त्रिकोण, त्रिभुज - या at least, it's supposed to be - and it will never become a real त्रिकोण, त्रिभुज if it's one-sided throughout 6 seasons. Delena are inevitable and undeniable and no matter what anyone says, Kevin and Julie can't put them off forever. At some stage, DE will develop into और - much और - than friends. Delena are hugely important to the show. As a matter of fact, 'The Vampire Diaries' is advertised as a प्यार triangle, and if the writers and producers never had any intention of making it real, then they would not have spent 2 years building the foundations for it to last the length and breadth of the series. I don't care what Kevin या anyone says to make us think otherwise - it's not what they SAY about Delena (or Stelena), it's what they DO that counts. I would be और distressed if Season 3 was going to be mainly about Stelena, या if Season 3 saw Delena limited to small scenes या being cut out altogether. As things sound and look though, we can be confident that DE will feature prominently अगला season. I would urge any DE प्रशंसक who is concerned that DE won't happen not to pay attention to interviews Kevin makes. Delena are heading our way, so keep calm, and keep shipping them.
