[Caption: gifs from The Vampire Diaries. Matt has entered the Salvatore house to talk with Stefan, who’s sitting in front of the fireplace. Stefan turns around to look at Matt as he starts his speech and the camera starts slowly closing in on him, after Stefan threatens Matt with throwing him out. He starts talking, stating facts plainly with an undercurrent of bitterness and determination: “There’s nothing I can do to stop you. Because you’re a vampire, and I’m a human. I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately. About my place in this town. My home. Whenever vampires are here, humans will always be at their mercy. Whatever laws we pass, you can break. Whatever lives we build, you can destroy.” Almost smiling with resignation, he adds “We don’t stand a chance against you.” before he hardens his expression and declares, “That stops today.”]
