004. i will be tagging triggering posts for the comfort of my mutuals. i tag triggers like word / the only trigger i have myself is clowns. they terrify me & if you write with or any clown muse that include visuals i will not be following back. even if they're tagged, i don't want to risk it. 005. i'm open to all types of ships for stefan. platonic relationships & romantic ones. friendships, enemies, frenemies, sibling-esque & honestly anything else is encouraged ! honestly, i'm a ship whore so chances are if our muses have chemistry i'm down to test the waters.as for canon ships : i do not ship steroline romantically, they never got married in my canon or even dated, they remained best friends. i value their friendship wildly but cannot see them romantically involved. the only caroline i will ever consider shipping with is my best friend's @forbaes. i also do not romantically ship stefan and lexi, another friendship of his i admire too much. my top ships for him are stelena, klefan & stalerie. you will see stelena & klefan heavily on this blog, if that bothers you then this isn't the stefan blog for you. as far as steferine, stebekah, & stefonnie, i am open to them with heavy plotting but please don't assume anything. 006. faces i will not write with are those who have been proven to be racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, sexist, anti - semitic, zionists, islamophobic & anything else problematic. honestly you should know at this point. i will not write with faceclaims who are deceased out of respect for them & their loved ones. i also won't write with anyone who uses a white fc for a muse that is a person of color in their respected media ( ex. katniss everdeen, bonnie bennett )when it comes to using ian somerhalder as damon, i am open to writing with people who use him but would prefer it if you didn't use icons or gifs of him when writing with me.
007. some stuff i will never write is anything dealing with incest, rape, sexual assault, noncon, dubcon, pedophilia, etc. feel free to ask about more. honestly if you support or write any of this, do not follow. 008. my formatting is pretty simple, i use small text threads but regular sized text for emphasis & dialogue. i use static icons most of the time but will use gifs for people who prefer gifs. i don't use any colored text or fancy fonts as they bother my eyes, if you write with me please refrain from using fancy fonts or bright colors. 009. i personally don't have a dni list & i don’t usually judge people for being on one but that doesn't mean i won't be concerned or hesitant to follow you or continue following you. i also don't deal with callouts, don't really care about them unless the person(s) are actually harmful and there's valid proof to back it up. credits & disclaimers. all images & gifs are from pinterest or google & are not mine. but all graphics are made by either myself or kiki ( @mermakes ) i am not associated with the cw, the vampire diaries, julie plec, lj smith or any faceclaims listed. however, all headcanons are of my own creation, please don't steal or i'll cry.

portrayal notes: my portrayal is mostly television show based, however i added a sprinkle of inspiration from the books, please keep that in mind when writing with my stefan. i've never read the books but i have looked through stefan's wiki to get some more information. i'm not using a lot from the books, i just snatched some things that were better in the books than the show lol.
i'd like to keep my changes when writing threads & answering memes. i'm open to altering or going by canon with other canon characters but would prefer to keep my changes.
in the books, stefan died at eighteen instead of seventeen and that is something i decided to use for my stefan's portrayal. he is eighteen, not seventeen. i know that vampire age doesn't matter but still, it's weird to me that he was a minor for all those years, even though he wasn't actually. ( you know what i mean !!! <3 )
please read this before interacting for an important note about his portrayal. it's about his empath abilities.
things my stefan didn't do : marry caroline, kill enzo, because why did they make him do that. anyway, when it comes to josie and lizzie, stefan sees them as his nieces.
headcanon: stefan's first language is italian, he learned english in school as a child but still preferred to speak in italian. he only spoke english when he was speaking to someone who didn't understand italian. and when he did speak english, he had a heavy & very thick accent until he was living in the united states for a few years. he still occasionally accidentally slips into speaking italian during a conversation when he's overwhelmed, anxious or angry but once he realizes he's speaking italian he'll go back to english.
headcanon: because stefan is a direct descendent of silas, he was a witch before becoming a vampire. he didn't know he was a witch & thus remained untapped, never learning about his power. in my post series verse, if stefan had lived & remained human he would once again be an untapped witch.
headcanon: stefan has one scar on the right side of his abdomen where his father shot him. since nobody was there to take the bullet out, he ended up dying with it stuck in his abdomen. when he woke up & was in transition, he was able to pull it out. however, the bullet was in so long that it left a scar when stefan pulled it out. it’s small but it is visible enough to anyone when his shirt is off. he doesn’t ever talk about it because it reminds him of when he died. he’ll only talk about it if you’re close with him or intimate with him & he’s comfortable about sharing.
— timeline.
CHILDHOOD.

NEWLY TURNED.
spring 1508. the night after stefan was turned, he returns to allie to give him a vial of his blood & told him he'd never hurt him ( at this point allie didn't know about vampires ) but to keep the vial with him as a percussion. days later, he returns again to explain to him everything that happened since katherine came to town, before he could explain he saw allie with a cut hand that was bleeding. being newly turned & not in control of himself, he attacked allie and drank from him until he thought he was dead. stefan immediately fled due to the guilt he had of thinking he killed a former lover. turns out, allie was able to drink stefan's blood right before dying. he was stefan's very first sire, but they don't reunite until they're both in mystic falls.summer 1508. stefan moves from florence to verona, italy. he is a ripper during this time.1509 - 1512. while living in verona stefan meets the original vampire, klaus mikaelson ( @klaeus ) & klaus helps stefan control his bloodlust as a new vampire. this is the first time stefan discovers he can live off of animal blood & does so with klaus' help. klaus & stefan fall in love quickly, & move into a small apartment together in verona & live happily together until klaus has to run from mikael.

THE GUILTED RIPPER.
CANON TO THE VAMPIRE DIARIES / MAIN.
my main verse is canon compliant of the shows timeline from seasons 1 - the beginning of five.divergence : after stefan kills silas ( 5 x 07 ) , instead of staying in mystic falls, this is when he decided to move to savannah, georgia. he couldn't deal with the fact the girl he loves chose his brother. he had to get out of mystic falls. he only returns when he's told katherine is dying, wanting to say goodbye to her. he stays in mystic falls until the end of season five when he believes that damon is dead, that's when he returns to georgia. he stays in georgia for six months working as a mechanic & staying away from everything & everyone from his past. he goes back to mystic falls again when enzo kills his girlfriend, ivy, because he wants revenge on enzo. he ends up staying for good when damon comes home from the prison world. after this, i'm back to being mostly complaint up until the last season.
THE RIPPER OF MONTEREY.
RIPPER + NO HUMANITY.
stefan has always had a problem with controlling his bloodlust. hence, why he has forced himself to feed from animals. however, in his ripper verse, stefan is a totally different person. when stefan is the ripper, he drinks from humans until they're bone dry. it’s not as if he has the desire to kill them, but it’s the fact that he literally can’t stop himself. once he starts feeding on someone, he physically can’t stop. as much as he wants to stop, he always loses control of himself & the person's head always falls off. as the ripper he’s much stronger & his personality curves into someone unrecognizable. when he's a ripper, it does not necessarily mean his humanity is off. it just means he's way more open & bold with his feelings. although, when he has his humanity switch off, he has no feelings towards anyone. all he cares about is ripping peoples heads off.
EIGHTEEN FOREVER.
1508 / 1864.
as i’ve made stefan as old as he is in the books, instead of him turning in 1864, he turned in 1508, ( however the way he turned is remaining the same. ) this verse is now taking place in florence, italy. this is before stefan was turned into a vampire. he was a young eighteen year old boy who spent most of his time writing in his journal, tending to his garden in the salvatore estate & playing football with his brother. he had just finished up high school & was ready to head to university that following fall. unfortunately, he never went to college due to the events that happened in 1508. after him & his brother were shot by his father & bled out, he completed his transition into becoming a vampire by killing his father. i am willing to go by the shows timeline & have this verse be placed in 1864 and mystic falls.
FRIED BRAIN.
AMNESIA.
after silas' vengeful ex - girlfriend links stefan to silas, she accidentally fries his brain to the point where his memories vanish. this takes place in the beginning of season five after qetsiyah pulls stefan out of the safe. basically, stefan has no memories at all and has to re- learn everything about himself and his life. after a while of having no memories, qetsiyah eventually gives them back and it's a painful experience for stefan, both physically and emotionally.
WHAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED.
HUMAN / CURED VAMPIRE.
this is a post series ( if he lived aha ) or an alternate verse in which in stefan has been cured of his vampirism by having the cure running through his veins. this means that he is once more human & will never be able to become a vampire again. canonically, bonnie injects stefan with the cure after he kills enzo as the ripper but in my version, he did not kill enzo & was injected with elena's blood after deciding it was time for him to be human. in this verse, stefan ends up becoming a pretty well known author & travels often, he lives the human life he always dreamed of. also in my canon, stefan & caroline did not get get married. please keep that in mind if you'd like to write in this verse.another version of this, which is pretty much the same except instead of becoming a writer stefan becomes the doctor that he wanted to be before he turned into a vampire. he again goes back to school but this time he goes to med school and becomes a well known and excellent doctor in mystic falls.
DOPPELGANGER BLOODLINE.
WITCH.
as a descendent of silas, stefan was born as an untapped witch. at the age of fifteen, the younger salvatore had discovered that he had magic roaming through his fingers. because he was curious, he went to find a witch in florence to learn everything he could about witches. during his alone time, he had practiced using his magic and learning how to control it. within two years, stefan was able to do magic easily. he was still confused on how this was possible, seeing as everyone else in his family had no magic abilities. his questions had never been answered and he knew he couldn’t bring it up with his father.stefan has kept all of this a secret. he hadn’t told his father or his brother about his magic and he had no intentions of telling them. he knew that damon would have accepted him but he also knew that his father wouldn’t have. so, he thought it would be better to keep it a secret.once katherine is captured, he ends up exposing himself as a witch to try and save her. but before he could, his father had shot him and damon. instead of turning, he was able to heal himself from the bullet wound with his magic. however, it was too late for damon, he still had to turn if he wanted to live.
fast forward to now, stefan would be a pretty powerful witch who is able to keep himself young, wanting to do anything he could to live so his brother wouldn't have to be immortal alone. he would go through life not knowing how / why until he meets silas and figures out he's a witch due to his doppelganger's bloodline. this verse is pretty much canon to the show except stefan's a witch instead of a vampire, so no bloodlust but magic.heretic version of this exists, feel free to ask cause i'm too lazy to write it up hehe <3
VISIONS BECOME REALITY.
PRIVATE W / ELENVA.
after elena's sire bond to damon is broken and she turns her humanity back on, she leaves mystic falls to heal. she only returns when her and stefan start sharing visions of what their life together could've been like. this makes her realize she still has feelings for stefan. they end up rekindling their relationship and eventually are both cured of vampirism. the two move out to the gilbert lake house after getting married. elena eventually gets pregnant and they have a baby girl. finally, the two have the happy life they always dreamed of having together.
THIRTEEN YEARS LATER.
LEGACIES TIMELINE.
after stefan dies in the finale of the vampire diaries, he finds peace with his best friend, lexi. he remains in peace for thirteen years, until he’s brought back to life. klaus mikaelson was determined to get his old friend stefan back, no matter what it took. he had thought stefan deserved another chance at life. so, he sought out witches to help with a resurrection spell. hope offered to do the spell herself and help bring stefan back to life. while it took many tries and months, eventually with how powerful she is and the right spells, she was successful at resurrecting him.since stefan died as a human, he came back as a human. yet, because he has silas’ dna in his bloodline, he actually came back as an untapped witch. along with being in a body that was not his own. stefan decided to live in his old room and enroll himself in the very school that’s named after him, figuring it would be a proper way for him to truly tap into his magic. he also wanted to restart his second chance at life and be a teenager because he truly never got to actually be one. of course, he could’ve turned away the magic and took this opportunity to live as a normal human life he always wanted. but he figured why waste the chance of being able to help people with magic and without the guilt of being a vampire.
