#and then i laughed until i cried and my tears were blood#but of course it’s not as simple as stefan being a calculating and manipulative liar#he is but that’s just the surface of the problem#stefan can barely recognize his lies as lies because he has a… flexible relationship with truth#is it really lying if he believes it too? is it really lying if he wants it to be true?#is it really lying if he’s going to make it true by having you believe it?#is it really lying if he’s telling you what you need to hear?#if he’s telling you a story to make you feel happy or safe or centered or loved or in control?#is it really? does it count?#why can’t he make things true by believing them?
