Though I’m going to be talking about the Salvatore brothers, I’ve got to be honest with you guys and tell you that I haven’t read any of the books.
Ames and our friend, Monroe have read the books and reviewed them over at their buddy review site: Breezing Through.
My love for these two brothers have grown from my love of the show. I’m sure that the reader fans of the series will disagree with me but I absolutely love the show. There are things that drive me absolutely nuts about the show but there are also things that I absolutely love about the show.
One of the main reasons I love the show is the Salvatore brothers. I adore them. When Damon first popped up on the scene, goodness how I hated him. Watching him terrorize his brother Stefan week in and week out drove me insane with fury toward him. But watching him terrorize his brother and finding out the why’s and the how’s didn’t make him any less infuriating but it did make me understand him.
There are plenty of reasons why I love both brothers. It’s been a couple of months since the first season wrapped and I’m still torn on which brother I love most. Actually, it’s not that I’m torn on which brother because I’m firmly in one camp but man do I love the other camp as well.
Right now, I’m firmly Team Stefan. I adore the way that Stefan is with Elena. The intense-ness of his love for her reminds me of why I loved the romance between Edward and Bella from Twilight. There wasn’t a moment where I doubted Stefan’s love for Elena. Oh to be loved like that…in real life would probably be creepy but bring on the creep because I love it! =) Seeing Stefan struggle against his baser needs to keep the humans safe and to not become a monster and just his whole outlook on life makes me love him all the more and is the main reason why I’m Team Stefan.
In short, I’m Team Stefan because he’s the bomb.
But then there’s Damon. The bad boy. The bad brother. He’s bitter and he’s mad but he’s so much more than that as well. We’ve seen the vulnerability in him from time to time and it’s those peeks into the softer side of Damon that makes all of my lady parts beep. I can see myself growing more and more in love with Damon as we get to know him (man I can’t wait for Season 2 to start already) and I’m kind of wondering if I’d ever switch teams and be the whore bag that I know myself to be.
The way that Damon is with Elena makes my heart sigh and even though I should be mad at him for trying to get freaky with Elena all the time, I’m not because I want him to somehow end up with if not Elena then Katherine. Goodness, Katherine is one evil biznitch. I want Damon to tame her….do you think he’ll do it? I want that to happen.
I was looking around Youtube for those fan videos and I came across this one and man do I love it. Check it out:
So tell me…which team are you on?
Inquiring minds want to know…
I’ve never seen this series, even though they do air it in my country. I dunno why, I think the look of it is a bit too gloomy for my taste, but everyone does seem to love it.
Might give it a try sometime, there is still a whole, long month before my favorite series are back.
I like your post, how you looked at both brothers.

I personally really love the show. I’ve only read the first two books but as I’ve said on a few other blogs, I prefer the show. And I’m team Stefan. Damon is entertaining and he has the whole brooding thing going on but Stefan is such a nice guy.
AnimeGirl,
I’m so addicted to this show that I’m on pins and needles waiting for the next season to start. I definitely recommend this show even though it’s a little dark. I’m much more of a sunshiny person but for some reason, I absolutely adore this show and those brothers.
It helps that both brothers are so ridiculously HAWT!
Michelle,
My friend Monroe prefers the shows too, I think. I totally hear you on both brothers. I love Damon’s badass-ness. It makes me want to swoon at the same time that I want to strangle him. And Stefan…how can you not love Stefan? He’s so great!
Blog-hopping by a little late to visit and follow! I have to admit, I’ve never read the books or seen the show, but my first impulse is Team Damon. 🙂

Welcome Tiger!
Thanks for stopping by, Team Damon is the most complex team and I totally get his appeal. He’s hot stuff!
I’ve read the first three books, and definitely am in Team Stefan. I haven’t actually managed to see any of the TV shows. It was on, but I just didn’t watch it! Should rectify it. Then again I am still only 2/3 of the way through the first series of True Blood even though I really enjoy watching it so maybe that will never happen!
I love both brothers, but would have to call myself Team Stefan. Damon, however, would be my choice for a fun fling! :p I don’t want Damon anywhere near Katherine. She doesn’t need to be tamed, she needs to be staked!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, btw!!! I’m following you now, too!
