What about Bonnie's canon ships? Do you think they had potential?

Soooo, I'm rarely on here these days and I'm super inconsistent with checking my inbox. I have no idea when this was sent. Sorry!

Anyway, screw them. I can't put into words how much I hate Bonnie's canon ships. The way people completely disregard Jeremy's disloyalty and infidelity makes me sick. The devil tried to rewrite Jeremy/Anna as some love story just so Bonnie experienced pain. Anna was using Jeremy the same way she was using Ben. Bonnie revived this loser and he cheated on her with the same vampire that kidnapped Bonnie. She revives him again with the expense of her own life just for him to cross relationship boundaries again with Liv Parker. Beremy was a shit relationship because Jeremy has the maturity of a toddler, constantly walking himself into danger cluelessly with Bonnie playing the mother who needs to protect him. Almost every single man who showed interest in Bonnie did so to use her (Ben, Luka, Shane). Bonnie didn't even like Jamie which is why she ditched him immediately.

Her relationship with Enzo brought a regression of Bonnie as a person. She was reckless for the sake of love. He was carelessly poisoning her to death which mirrored their entire dynamic. Bonnie wasn't even Enzo's first choice nor was she his second or even his third. He was supposed to be the "love of her life" and yet everything about them revolved around Damon. The devil wasted Bonnie's love on the most irrelevant characters to give them substance. Even in her relationship, she's written as a tool. Firstly, she's used for keeping Jeremy safe. Secondly, she is used for making Enzo matter and persuading people to care about him as a character (no matter how many storylines they threw him into, no one cared). Her relationships are all about Bonnie serving a purpose for the betterment of the men and Bonnie gets absolutely nothing out of it.

The devil = Julie Plec for clarification

Did you ever ship Stefan and Bonnie?

I'm actually so shocked I've never discussed this here because I was obsessed with Stefonnie for the longest time and this post is making me fall back into it.

Stefan and Bonnie had such a beautiful friendship in the early seasons. It was very similar to Caroline and Stefan. I was actually rooting for Bonnie over Caroline initially when it was clear Delena was going to be endgame. I love Steroline, but Stefonnie would have been such an organic friends-to-lovers ship (we know I love a good friend-to-lovers over enemies-to-lovers). Especially, since this was the time Forewood was still going strong and I loved them too. It would have been such a great time in TVD with these ships.

But of course, the writers refused to let Bonnie have everything and eventually shifted Stefan's attention from being split between his two friendships with Caroline and Bonnie to only Caroline. They only ever really get it back in the final season and it was essentially just to rub it in for Bonnie that Stefan, her once friend, murdered her love. This whole storyline was clearly just designed to isolate Bonnie completely from the group. Stefan was supposed to spend the rest of his life making it up to her and then died so we didn't even get to see them repairing their relationship. If they were going to get together, it would have to be before this.

Stefan is the first vampire that Bonnie starts to feel comfortable with after her, very reasonable, hatred of vampires. Because he put in the effort. Even Caroline just wanted Bonnie to get over her fear/hatred without putting in too much effort. But Stefan spent time making her feel comfortable. And the fact that he had Grams approval goes a long way with Bonnie. Stefan on multiple occasions attempts to stop Bonnie from doing dangerous spells that he does want to happen, but he prioritizes her safety. He had so much respect and love for her from the beginning.

Him asking so gently if he can come in and her little nod. This right here shows that their friendship at the bare minimum should have been prioritized. How do you not see romantic potential in this??

Even when he was a ripper, he never harms Bonnie. Or when Stefan and Damon had to kill her mom but Damon does it so *Elena* won't hold it against Stefan. Let's be honest, if Elena can forgive Damon for murdering her brother, she would have quickly moved on from Abby's death. But, to me, it was so important for it not to be Stefan because *Bonnie* never would have forgiven him.

I would have much rathered Stefan getting stuck on the otherside/prison world with Bonnie and repairing their friendship and developing a romantic relationship. Stefan was so protective of Bonnie that it would have given Bonnie a lot more support than she initially got from Damon. I know I am just biased and hate Damon, but I felt like their development was forced. Literally. They never would have interacted like that in other circumstances. I do think Damon needed that friendship, since the only time we see him have any character development is with Bonnie, but that wasn't Bonnie's job. Forcing her to befriend a man she hated, a man who murdered her mom, for his development was just never a favorite story of mine. But Stefan with her would have given her some comfort. I think she also would have had more faith in Stefan coming back for her and saving her if he was forced to leave her behind.

They fit so well together. They both have similar morals and a strong sense of righteousness. They both will sacrifice themselves for those they love and will bend their morals for their loved ones, but at the end of the day they are the heart of the friend group. They also were always trying to stop the other one from sacrificing themselves, understanding that the people the other was harming themselves for wasn't necessarily worth it.

Bonnie deserved to be loved like that. After losing her entire family and everyone she cared about, she deserved to have someone love her the way Stefan loves. And Stefan wanted to be human again. He would have taken the cure and they could have left Mystic Falls behind, coming back for holidays, but getting away from the toxic relationships they had with their family and friends.

As for storytelling purposes, this just shows that the show prioritized ships they viewed would be the most popular (which was based in racism) over the actual storytelling. Bonnie and Stefan has so many similar stories that they could have bonded over, like their summer that no one knew they were missing and their parental issues. But also their history. Elena and Stefan were not the only two reflected in the story with Silas and Amara. There was also Qetsiyah. The full circle story that could have been if they had Silas' shadow-self (Stefan) fall for Qetsiyah's descendant (Bonnie), leaving Amara's shadow-self (Elena). Instead the show spent time forcing parallels by retconning itself with flashbacks.

I loved Bonenzo and Steroline, but if they had done Stefonnie right, it would have been my top ship. They had so much potential to show the development and to actually allow the characters to experience their emotions and work through their trauma. They would have helped each other as friends and fallen in love as they did. They are two of my favorite characters from TVD so it is no wonder I would love them together.

Now excuse me while I go find some fics to read!

Thanks for the ask!

[iselenris]

i just read truth teller because of your post and it was AMAZING. What do you think makes a good Klonnie fic? Any more klonnie fic recs?

not me being impactful??😭😭

LMAO

so happy you enjoyed! that fic needs all the love and more.

The parameters for a good fic (Klonnie or otherwise) within the realm of fan fictions to me, is keeping in mind the characters themselves, they’re history, they’re motivations, the little quirks that make them themselves and expanding on it.

Often times especially with canon divergences or au’s in general, the only similarity to the original material is the name and physicality. It can be difficult to find authors who write characters in a way that serves the characters themselves and the authors own vision for their story.

For Klonnie, specifically I often find that Bonnie in particular isn’t written in line, like the things she’ll say dont fall in line with her character or her interactions with Klaus or any other character doesn’t make sense. Often with fics involving a mistreated/unpopular character, they’re treated as a self-insert rather than written accurately.

The best fanfics to me are the ones where i can literally hear/see the character doing/saying whatever in my head.

I can literally see Bonnie steeling herself against Bob, I can see her acting awkwardly to waking up in bed to Klaus, I can see her showing Marcel in excruciating detail why he doesn’t want to fuck with her

I can see Caroline holding Bonnie tight and hear her telling Bon how fucked it was for Elena to take precedence for so long

I can see Klaus being conflicted over Marcel and Bonnie’s initial meeting, I can see his face when he realises he doesn’t want friendship with Bonnie, I can hear him saying ‘why would i want to make life easier for anyone not named Bonnie Bennett’

Szanje is a prolific klonnie writer, im currently rereading the edge of night

I highly recommend! its a canon divergence from s7/3 onwards and it eats like it eats bad!

If u love the idea of Bonnie in Nola, then baybee… get into it

the summoned witch by the same author is also really good. its not as klonnie heavy but erm.. excellent food if i say so myself

sorry for this being so long😭😭

(feel free to hmu to talk all things bonnie i promise im kind!)

[shadowcatgirl09]

what did you think of how they represented Bonnie Bennett's family on the show? if you could rewrite or change Bonnie’s family(/family situation) in the show, how would you design things? would you have kept/added more elements of Bonnie McCullough's family?

I am living for these asks! Thank you nonny!

Oh they did them dirty, no if ands or buts about it. Made them involved in everything and paid them dust. Well first I'd definitely give more things from Bonnie M. Like she would have had her four older sisters, her parents wouldn't have been divorced, and her two cousins, I'd make more like Meredith (her protectiveness of Bonnie makes me feel things.) Lucy would've been a recurring guest star. Bonnie's second cousin would be from a branch that descended from Emily's younger brother or another one of Sheila's siblings.

Speaking of Meredith, since she got a good deal of Meredith's personality and events I would've expanded on that too. Her dislike and disregard of Damon? Exploit it to high heaven. Damon finds Meredith scary and can't even speak to her while facing her? Whew I'd have Bonnie have this man in her freaking pocket groveling.

Anyway family wise I'd mix Meredith's Supernatural Hunter family with Bonnie's witches and psychics. Of course the Bennetts are the powerful witches of yore that made pretty much everything in the TVD show universe. They. Are. Royalty. Rudy's family are Supernatural Hunters/Archivists, quick shoutout to @nys30 for that one, whose family was actually blessed by the Bennetts some 300 hundred years ago. Like Bonnie M. she would already know about her family and their magic.

@insanislupus, jackie matlin sent to bonnie bennett: i don't want any cake.

" but...i did it. " bonnie knew something was wrong when jackie refused to take something the witch had made. she didn't know what but she felt something was wrong. had she heard bad news? was she sick? werewolves don't get sick so it wasn't that, so what could have made her girlfriend like this? she wondered as she placed the mittens on the stove, hands touching her forehead to see if it was warm or not as she shook her head. " who should i hurt? did something, someone upset you? you know i can make this moment better right? "

[mult1aes-moved]

@salvatoraes, stefan salvatore sent to bonnie bennett: you stay here . they're trying to kill me.

bonnie's eyes were on alert, the danger she was facing clearly visible on her expression. it can't happen right now. they had a way in. they hadn't talked about a plan yet, but with her power and his vampire ability, she thought they would have a chance into saving more people from that evil group. but now, everything was ruined. why would they try to do something like this without talking about a plan first? why would they put themselves in danger when they should have just walk away? question that was left unanswered as her voice trembled slightly, her hands gripping stefan tighly by the arm. " what are you doing? if i have to stay there, you stay here too! ” she said, her tone leaving no room for argument. " they’re not here for you, they're here for me, stefan. i don't want you to come. " she took a step closer to him, her voice dropping to a whisper as she continued. " if you come with me, it’ll only put you and the rest of the gang in danger, and i can’t have that on my conscience. " she know it was a suicide missions. the thing is, she didn't wanted to live in a world where her friends weren't there to witness the happy thing in life. letting a tear slide down her face, she whispered a spell that forbade him to follow her as she turned around, smiling. " just trust me on this, okay? i will find a way out of this. you know i always do. but it will have to be without you or the others following me. " with that being said, she left his sight, awaiting for the worst to come her way. what they don't know though, was, that bonnie bennett never run or hide. she face and is willing to take any risk to save what she cherished most in this world: her family.

@multi-royalty said: “OH no you DONT”

"I wasn't going to do it, Caroline. I was just thinking about it, I wasn't going to do it," Bonnie said, mimicking the sound she'd been hearing all over social media. "Okay maybe I was," she sighed as she dropped the wooden stake that had been in her hand. "It's not like it would hurt him anyway...stupid immortal hybrid."

[sanguinelupus]

ASK MEMES. @devilsnare Bonnie said: ❛ oh great, it's you again. ❜

"What a warm welcome from my favorite witch," Klaus responds brightly, and with a smile. The Bennett witch's ire has never bothered him; both of them know where they stand with each other. "I have a favor to ask. And if it's refused, it will become a demand -- quite quickly, as well."

What are your favourite bonnie ships and why?

Sorry I didn't see this earlier! This is the hardest question. I ship almost all of them because Kat has a lot of chemistry with a lot of people. Many of my favorite Bonnie ships don't even have fics and if they do, then the fics are short or rare.

Let's start with the obvious favorite: Klonnie. I am literally writing a fic for them. Why? They are just the hottest cast members and I'm very interested in the power dynamics between the characters. Also, I'm just really interested in how these two could influence each other. Whether that means tapping into Bonnie's dark side or Klaus becoming a better man, there's potential for growth as individuals.

I'd also like to acknowledge Stefonnie as a ship I hold dear to my heart. I live for Paulerina's chemistry plus Stefan and Bonnie are almost mirrors of each other in a way I find intriguing. Remember when I mentioned rare pairs? I also ship Bonnie with both of Stefan's doppelgangers. Silas and Bonnie have an obvious history, but Tom and Bonnie never met. BonTom is my crack ship for Bonnie just getting the fuck out of MF.

Bonkai and Bamon are almost interchangeable to me. I like both. The potential was there from day one with Bamon. I don't buy them as platonic soulmates. They were meant to be lovers. Bonkai with witch!Kai is superior. Heretic!Kai was stupid and he died immediately which does sorta make sense in canon but is still annoying. There's a lot of unresolved sexual tension here with both ships and they deserve a chance to explore their feelings.

[andreal831]

Why do you think Klaus not into Bonnie? It felt like he should have been.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "into" Bonnie.

I personally don't think Klaus would have been romantically into anyone in TVD and anything else was just random fanservice. Klaus had spent a thousand years attempting to undue his curse and 100 years running from his own family. He finally breaks the curse and is reunited with his family, only to do nothing? To sit around town and go to high school dances? This man is over 1,000 years old. I'm sorry, but he's not hanging out in a town with one bar and all the patrons are on vervain.

Klaus is power hungry and finally got all of the power he wanted. Why would he settle down in a small town? In the past, we saw him happiest when he was taking over cities like Chicago and New Orleans. Klaus wasn't in the mind to look for romance, he was looking to reclaim the power he felt was taken from him. Honestly, the only connection in TVD that made sense was "hate-banging" Hayley because there was zero love there. This fits Klaus' character at that time. He was still the man who felt like love was a weakness. Nothing that happened in TVD would have persuaded him overwise. TO had to spend the time and energy to convince him that loving someone else was worth it, something TVD didn't do because he was actively the villain.

Now if you're asking why he wasn't into Bonnie as a Bennett witch, it's cause of bad writing. Klaus loved powerful witches. He needed powerful witches. It would have been a better story line to watch him try to charm Bonnie into helping him (much like he did with Genevieve or Greta). But I can't see Bonnie falling for it and helping him in any shape or form without threats to her family. Even when he did threaten her, she hated him and tried not to help. Klaus was actively murdering people she cared about, torturing her and her friends, and all of his goals went directly against her own. Her mom got caught up in it all and killed. Hell, her mom abandoned her trying to keep Klaus' dad locked up. They were always on the opposite side of things, which would have made a team up hard, but no impossible.

I definitely find it out of character and just bad writing that he wasn't more focused on Bonnie while in town. If they just had to do another pedophilic story of minors getting with 100+ year old men, this would have been the one to tease. Like I said, Klaus liked to charm and flirt with his witches to get things done. The tension could have been fun, but I just can't see Bonnie taking it any further. The fact that Caroline did made me lose so much respect for her character. But at least with Bonnie, there would have been plot reasons for Klaus interacting with Bonnie. Cause again, Klaus seemed to have no plot or reason to be in TVD after Elena was turned. His presence made no sense, but maybe him trying to recruit Bonnie could have been something. But this would have given Bonnie a lot more storylines which the writers/producers hated to do.

I will say, I could see like an AU world of Klaus meeting Bonnie as an adult later in life, he would likely be into her. Bonnie and Cami have always reminded me of each other. And the qualities they share are the qualities Klaus loved in Cami.

Thanks for the ask!

"have you seen 'sanctuary: a witch's tale?' - i'm kind of obsessed."

Nose wrinkling slightly, Bonnie casts a dubious glance at the other witch. "Lou, we are witches. Why watch something that will undoubtedly be inaccurate?" What she does not say is this - she's never heard about the show in her life because right now, the only things playing on her screen are Bluey and Tab Time and Ms Rachel and - you get the picture.

[shadowcatgirl09]

how’d you think show!bonnie and book!bonnie would each fit in with the girls of the club/the secret circle?

Ooh this is a fun ask!

Okay so right off the bat Bonnie McCullough and Susan would either get along like a house on fire or they would not like each other. They are a lot alike. My sweet Sag baby she'd probably be somewhere in the middle with the group. Bonnie is a good girl but she'd be down to manipulate boys and others with Faye and her little crew. Something you know Diana don't tolerate.

Now Bonnie Bennett? If she stayed consistent with her characterization (I stand by the fact that Bonnie acts more like my baby girl Meredith with sprinkles of Bonnie McCullough) I honestly think Bonnie would get along with Diana and her little clique of goody goodys. I don't mean that in a bad way. Bonnie, out of her friends had morals she stuck by until the writing screwed that up. I feel like she'd dislike Faye but I also if we're talking Expression!Bonnie/Post Prison World Bonnie then she'd definitely be in Faye's group. Faye would be having the time of her life with a basically corrupted Bonnie Bennett.
