Dear Bonnie, I’m a coward. I should be saying this to your face, not writing this letter, but I know if I do you’ll talk me out of running away from all my problems. You’re gonna make me face a future without Elena and you’re gonna help make me the best man I could possibly be, the same way she did. And I’m absolutely terrified of failing you both. So, I’m leaving. Because I’d rather let you down once, than let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope it’s the happiest life. Because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, a mediocre crossword puzzle player and my best friend. 

With great love and respect, Damon.

Book Damon and his fixation with keeping Bonnie warm is so 🥺♥️

I saw someone (not on here lol) claim Bonnie and Damon gave off sibling vibes…where? What siblings act like that? You know what siblings do act like a couple Klaus and Rebekah lol. It’s ironic how quick people are to pull the “siblings card!” with Bamon. Lastly when people realize Bamon not happening has nothing to do with Elena and a lot to do with the racism towards Bonnie then we can have a chat!

I have 8 Bamon fics up on a03; quick maths: that’s…er…. 1% of all the Bamon fics on a03.

ONE PERCENT.

there are over 18,000 works in TVD… 4% of those are Bamon.

FOUR PERCENT.

watch me single handedly make it my life’s mission to get this number up to 1000

Kat said what she said and I completely agree.

Did you know L.J. Smith was fired from writing the Vampire Diaries books?? Do you think this relates to the show at all? It's oddly coincidental that she was planning to write more Bonnie and Damon content. She even said her publisher didn't like the direction which she was going with all the relationships, particularly that Damon had more than platonic feelings for both Bonnie & Elena.

Hi Anon !

Yes I have heard about the controversy surrounding The Vampire Diaries books and how the original author of the first couple books was fired to be replaced by a ghostwriter.

-I only learnt about this from a TVD analysis video I watched a while ago by a YouTuber called Jenny Nicholson, (the video is really good btw and I definitely recommend giving it a watch if you haven't already seen it !)

A very brief summary: L.J. Smith was hired by a company to write a book series and so she came up with TVD, at a certain point in the series the company didn't like the direction L.J Smith planned to take the books (I've heard this may have been due to her planning different endgame couples for the books compared to what the show was planning at the time and I've seen some conflicting ideas about which couples she intended exactly) so they fired and replaced her.

I've personally never read the TVD books, but from what I've heard L.J Smith did seem like she was a lot more open to exploring different romantic pairings in the books compared to how close-minded the writers of the TVD show were.

I think the TVD show writers definitely missed out by not including what seemed like Bonnie and Damons complicated feelings/ romantic connection for each other that the books seemed to be building, I think it would have been much more messy/ entertaining to watch rather than the Stefan-Elena-Damon triangle that they rehashed every 2-5 business days 😭

By deliberately leaving Bonnie out of so many storylines, the TVD show writers missed the opportunity for a much more dramatic/ engaging show overall.

Also, I'm sure it goes without saying but fuck the company that fired L.J Smith from writing for her own books that she came up with, fucked up and greedy smh

*Though apparently L.J.Smith continued to write for the series as unofficial "fanfiction" (I'm not sure where/ if its still available to access tho sorry) and in those fics Damon and Bonnie did date/ fall in love from what I've heard (and were maybe endgame too ?)

So I think that's everything I know about that situation lol, also I'm so sorry in advance in case of any inaccuracies about the situation, this is just what I've seen online but since this all happened a while ago there seems to be some debate/ inconsistencies regarding certain parts that were a bit confusing but this is what I've gathered from the situation in general, hope its okay.

Thank you for the ask ! 💖

Here's the link for the YouTube video I mentioned if you'd like to watch it :

More T9S ships as TVD ships stuff

Jeia - Stelena (destined from the start, never loved anyone the way they loves each other, no obstacles stop them from being together)

Niknate - Delena (less toxic, but still have a lot of fighting and mostly lust with love declarations and a few cute moments, are incompatible as fuck (Elena and Nate want a forever with kids and marriage while Nikki and Damon are more free spirited (tho Nikki is 100000x the person Damon is))

Gwikki - Bamon (enemies/frenemies to lovers, Damon/Nikki are in unhealthy relationships with Bonnie/Gwen's best friend/brother (Elena/Nate))

[lady-corrine]

Delenas claiming "forgotten first meeting" as a romantic trope for their nasty ship as if Julie didn't steal it from book Bonnie and Damon 🤨

[cancerian-woman]

I really want to read the legendborn but I fear once I start I won’t put it down and I have a few things to do today!

[ambelle]

Rewatched my old edit and got in my feelings 😭.

It's like their ship manifesto

[kiarpennington]

K, so I hope I don’t get in trouble for talking about this (as I’ve been doing my best not to discuss specific tv and film in light of the strikes 😅) but yall I had to get this out!
