BONNIE BENNETT & KOL MIKAELSON THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

[bonniebennettdeservestheworld]

[klonnieshippersclub]

I know I am not the only one who dislikes Bonnie's canon relationships, and I wanted to make a space for us that see her as more than what she was given.

Our girl is just as desirable and deserving of a romance as the rest. It's unfair how she's the only one boxed in due to moral policing.

[icepandawarrior]

I still find it crazy how I ship damn near everyone with Bonnie except the two people she was canonically with...

[sukibenders]

"But Bonnie can't be with them because they're evil/morally dubious, she's too good and moral-" and the other characters, especially Elena and Caroline can? They aren't "too good" and "moral"? Why is Bonnie the only one held to these standards even when we see Elena call out characters like Damon and Elijah for their actions, so we can obviously tell that she has a different moral standing than they do? Even if Bonnie is those things, that still doesn't necessarily mean that she can't be with these said characters, whether for a short period or forever. Like, Enzo definitely does questionable things that would go against this idea, but these same fans don't question their relationship (some not all, same with Nora). It's only when we talk about characters like the Salvatores or the Mikaelsons or Kai (Enzo as well, back to my previous point), characters who have had flirtations or relationships with Elena and Caroline does this suddenly becomes an issue. And then the excuse of "Bonnie is too strong" to fall for them, as if that's supposed to be a compliment. Black women and girls, whether fictional or not, should not have to be seen as being "too strong" to be deemed worthy of love. That's such a gross thing to say, especially when our yte counterparts aren't held to the same standard, are allowed to be strong, and still fall in love. If you genuinely think that's a compliment, I urge you to do some work and figure out why that is.

Whenever someone says why would you ship bonnie with any toxic man she would never

This smirk right here says otherwise bonbon got a dark side and we are all here for it

[cancerian-woman]

Besides Klaus who else do you ship bonnie with ?

I did say Bonnie deserved hoes. That went for everyone. It is the least the plot could do is uplift Bonnie’s desirability given everyone needs her magic.

No one ever gives a good argument why a noncanon Bonnie ship shouldn’t have happened. “She’s too good for them” “That pairing is so toxic”. “Platonic for a reason…” For example: Kol killed Davina and she married him. No one says anything about Kolvina. But if Bonnie is too good what does that say about your fave for being paired with said toxic man…

They usually mean anyone but the black girl.

[massivedonutface]

The originals really should've been obsessed with Bonnie. The way Bennett witches were wrapped up in everything, they most likely knew several of her ancestors over the centuries. Damon too should've come to mystic falls seeking Bonnie out, especially with the somergraham chemistry it could've been really interesting

[hyperactivewhore]

I get being upset about Bonnie not being invited to the Mikaelson ball, but here you go once again, blaming Caroline for a choice the writer's made, something she had no part of. People are getting weird AF with their anti Caroline stance and it's getting ridiculous.

Here you go once again, putting words I didn't say in my mouth.

Does it upset me that Bonnie wasn't invited to the ball? Yes. Does Caroline being there make me mad? No. Do I think she shouldn't have come? Yes, I certainly think so.

I complained about Caroline and Matt being there because plot wise it was absolutely stupid and it made no sense. They didn't add absolutely nothing to the events developing there, and their presence was completely unneeded: Caroline and Matt were there solely because of Klaus and Rebekah/delena. This was the moment the showrunners decided to start writing klaroline, exclusively and only because the fans liked their first scene together, so they decided to have her going to the ball just to have their "romance" developing, which made no sense for her at all;

Klaus literally tried to kill her a few episodes prior, he had Tyler bite her on her birthday leaving her on the brink of death and then he showed up to heal her. Where is her self-preservation? Wasn't she scared of him at all?

It's funny to me that she only accepted to go because of Rebekah inviting Matt. Did she thought he was in potential danger? Did she decide to go to try to protect him? I get she was worried about her friend, but this is slightly strange.

Matt was just there for Rebekah and to make Damon and Elena fight because of his altercation with Kol, nothing else, and his presence and the issue he caused wasn't that serious because they made up an episode later. Why would he go? He was a human on a house full of the oldest vampires to ever live, and he was aware of this. I'm aware Matt isn't the brightest person to walk the earth, but everybody knows a human shouldn't be around bloodthirsty vampires.

Again, just stupid. Caroline and Matt shouldn't have been at the ball, that's all. Elena and the Salvatore going made sense: she was the doppelgänger, Stefan had story with them and Damon wouldn't allow her to go anywhere without any of them.

Bonnie, however, had every single reason to be there:

She was Ayana's descendant.

Esther would want to meet a Bennett witch, seeing she was best friends with one once and she knew they were powerful allies.

She had been more close than anyone to killing Klaus: the fact that he didn't try to seduce her or try to kill her was ooc, especially because he befriended witches before klaroline came in.

Kol loved witches and this bitch knows everything about everyone. It surprises me that he didn't try to get her on his side or at least use her to try to take down any member of his family.

The Bennett bloodline is far more powerful in magic terms than any other family could ever be, their blood was needed for like half of the most powerful spells and the fact that not a single person thought about getting on Bonnie's good side is completely stupid.

What is ridiculous is that people dickride 3x14 to hell because of the fanservice. I love this episode, but calling out it's flaws it's not a bad thing.

RULES:

Rarepair for this event is a ship with less than 150 completed works, with main focus on the Bonnie ship. (Honestly, this is a casual event, so if you’re doing the bigger Bonnie ships, I'm not gonna stop you, but the focus is on the rarepairs - the rarer, the better.)

Crossovers, polyamory, OCs, LGBTQ+ are all welcome.

I’ll be reblogging folks work until the end of August, so if you’re late, no worries, still bring what you have when you can.

Please tag appropriately, even if that means you’re simply stating you’re not going to tag anything. (This is mainly for fic writers.)

Use #bbrarepairbash2024 so others can find your work. Tag me @/hollowed-hallowed and/or @/bbtvducollection, so I can make sure I reblog your creations. If there’s enough interest, I’ll start a collection on AO3.

Drop me a message or ask if you have any questions. I’ll see you all in July!

[upper-echelon-h3arts]

Kol: C'mon mate, she (Bonnie) doesn't even like you.

Kai: And you would know that how?

Kol: For starters, psycho isn't her type. NOW I on the other hand-

Kai: Are a homicidal maniac. Yeah, let me know how that works out for you.

[roisy]

I’m a gay girlie and personally only ship Bonnie with Rebekah or Nora, but it’s so nice seeing people get creative with Bonnie’s character and shipping her with characters that the TVD creators wouldn’t let happen in a million years. Like, she deserved hot guys and gals falling over themselves trying to snap her up.

Like, I’ll read straight fics for you Bon Bon. That’s how much I love you 🤟

[anabondelight]

Bonnie Bennett species and definitions.

[klonnieshippersclub]

It’s said that Kol always had an affinity for witches (romantic or platonic), what do you think their relationship would be like if Bonnie was with Klaus? I don’t expect her to play therapist for anyone, ESPECIALLY that family, but I think Klaus and Kol could bond over her. He could also probably help her with her witchcraft as well.

Klaus had an affinity for witches too word to Joseph. Katherine and Isobel gossiped about his taste in witches. I could see them(Kennett) being great friends longterm, it’s insane they were on the other side together and it is Bonnie who rejected the idea of teaming up. When she previously teamed up with Elijah in the past to fight Klaus. I imagined Kennett having a similar friendship to later seasons Bamon. Hear me out even early seasons Stefonnie. Bonnie never had any real longterm help when it came to magic. She loved to meet other witches like Liv and was bonding well with Nora after they became friends. Bonnie wanted to see Lucy again and have that magical bond with someone. Lucy implied there’s a different feeling when Bennett witches are around each other. That’s so unique.

Everyone in the MFG eventually has some friend outside of the main group but Bonnie. If the originals can be friends with normal people like:Cami, I don’t see why Bonnie is so unacceptable to certain fans. Rebekah and Matt even dated yet Bonnie couldn’t have a friendship with one of them?

Kennett was another ship that was just thrown away for Bonnie in favor of a white woman. I remember seeing headcanons for Kennett as the show aired, only for it to never come to fruition and used for Kolvina’s gain. Julie said Bonnie was too good for Kol(and by extension the other men) but never was Davina, Elena, Caroline or Hayley.

My anons are backed up due to work and school. I will be answering everything.

[vicontheinternet]

The way ppl talk about zutara is so reminiscent of bamon/kennett/klonnie/bonkai in the sense of “she wouldn’t morally do that” or it’s the “oppressed falling in love with their oppressor” like if you don’t like the ship it’s fine but that’s a dumb fucking excuse not to ship them and honestly lowkey misogynistic

[sukibenders]

Racism and misogynoir are so apparent in fandom, especially when it comes to shipping because why is it when a white male, sometimes female but I see it more with the former, character is on screen with a love interest, particularly woc, especially if they're black, and even with all the emotional scenes or just moments where they look at one another in ways different from the rest, it's met with "No, they aren't dating/the show is not going to put them together" but let the other love interest be white as well and suddenly it all makes sense? Heck, the examples I mentioned above don't even have to exist between the latter for some to STILL go and believe this rhetoric (eg. some Jace and Helaena shippers because, even if these two only interacted with a dance but yet we see Baela console Jace, after he seeks her out, apparently it's to far fetched to believe that Jacela could be a thing?!)

Sometimes it could be a headcanon that, largely, would make sense (and oftentimes was birth due to lack of respect that the poc characters could have been given by the writers *cough* TVD *cough*), and yet you'd still have people dismissing it left and right and spewing hate. At a HEADCANON! And I'm not saying that just because the other person in the ship is poc that you have to ship them, I'm not, but it's very apparent to many poc fans in fandom that unless the characters are swapping spit and doing the nasty, the possibility of them being viewed in any romantic lens feels too much of stretch even though their white counterparts don't have to jump through the same loops.
