Would've been awesome for him and Bonnie to sort of parallel Silas and Quetsiyah and take down Cade with magic and then make a new Other side of something, a new "psychic imprint" for the good Supernaturals of the world.
Although I know Stefan's dying now and Bonnie's most likely now becoming "The Devil".
Stefan was a witch before he turned? Being a witch is hereditary and doesn't seem to skip around, which Salvatore was a witch?
Nemo Unus Animabus Carnem!
Silas was a witch and he's Stefan's ancestor. It is highly likely that an untapped witch (a witch who has never activated their witch magic) can be compelled. Which is why Stefan, Damon and Elena were able to be compelled pre vampirism despite having witch ancestors, and why Klaus threatened to compell Rebekah if she took the cure and reverted back to an untapped witch.
shareYeah Silas was a witch, and Dopplgangers are basically untapped witches, or travelers, Katherine proved that rule when she passengered inside of Elena.
shareDoppelgängers aren't untapped witches as Tatia wasn't. The reason Stefan, Damon are/should be is because Silas was. And Elena because Katherine was (through her father).
shareWhy is that highly likely? Witch power is ever present tapped or not. So your saying during years of abuse neither brother manifested even a little magic against their father? Their rage driven abusive father never manifested magic? The Gilbert family used Bennett witches because they were witches too? Just seems like they were compelled because they aren't witches.
Nemo Unus Animabus Carnem!
Or because they had no idea they were witches. At all, it's in their bloodline.
shareDamon and Stefan belonging to a witch bloodline was a fantasy I held a while back when Damon potentially being turned human was heavily speculated back in S4. That was ruined when Lily was introduced as a vampire and not a Heretic.
Never argue with stupid people,they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Wasn't Damon supposed to actually take the cure? Like almost set in stone until the writers realized everyone almost knew it and re-wrote it to Katherine.
But, yeah I wish the brothers were brought up being from a witch bloodline, especially after Silas came to be.
Whether Lily was a heretic or vampire doesn't have anything to do with it. They get their witch (doppelgänger) side from their father as it is through him that they are descended from Silas unknown sibling. Which is how the line was able to continue through their paternal half brother. Lily could have been a witch too, but nothing so far suggests that. As for her being a Heretic, she's not in the Gemini Coven and so far only siphoners come from that particular Coven and you need to be a siphoner to be a Heretic.
Well Guiseppe Salvatore showed no signs of being a witch either. Ther Founding families (of which he was one) burned Emily Bennett and other witches in the area to death after they had rounded up the vampires. Also as the mythology of the show started to unfold we saw a human Stefan and Damon susceptible to compulsion and we know now, wiches cannot be compelled even ones with no powers. The Salvatores were boring humans, lol. Nothing to see here.

shareOk fine if you want to believe the Salvatores are witches I won't stand in your way but I think you are reaching and this comes from someone who really wanted a Salvatore witchy bloodline story.

Im going by the show. Their ancestors were witches. Therefore they are too. It would be a writers error if they weren't.
shareIt has not been confirmed that an untapped witch can't be compelled. A witch like Jo who just lost her magic can't because she used to have magic. But considering Damon and Stefan and Elena were compelled, while having witch ancestors therefore the gene should have continued on to them because it doesn't matter if you tap into your power or not the gene continues down the line, and tbe fact that Klaus threatened to compell Rebekah if she took the cure and turned back into an untapped witch - all implies an untapped witch can in fact be compelled. Just like an untriggered werewolf can. (Damon compelled Tyler in season 1 before he triggered his curse). Giuseppe had to be a Witch Because he was descendant of Silas witch sibling. Just because they didn't know that doesn't mean anything. Bonnie didn't know she was a witch until she tapped into her powers. Some take longer to tap into their power and some never do.
shareVampire's can't compel witches and Kathrine was able to compel Stefan when he was human. If they could compel witches it would have been a lot easier then threatening loves all the time. They can't compel wolfs either.

Tyler was compelled until he was triggered. It's possibly the same with an untapped witch.
shareDid we ever see Stefan get compelled by katherine? Didn't she say that she never had to?
...
If you can't do something smart,do something right
Exactly
shareShe never compelled Damon but she did Stefan
shareNo she didn't. That's Stefan's excuse to deny his feelings for her
shareYes kathrine did compel Stefan I just watched that episode and we do see her compel him
When Karma comes back to punch you in the face,I wanna be there...just in case it needs help
She never compelled him to like her or fall for her. She just compelled him to not be afraid of her. Not being afraid of someone doesn't mean liking them or falling for them. His feelings for her were all him.
