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.

I promise no Bamon shipper wanted him abusing her. None of us found that shit hot that was them other Bonnie ships who were getting off on the ~dynamic~ of her getting stabbed and having PTSD not us.

What we loved about Bamon was that they made a great team and brought out the best in each other. The bickering was charming but when they were legit fighting none of us cheered that on.

Abuse and fear is not romantic.

Some petty thoughts about my otps and canon notp

3x22

Bamon having husband and wife energy, and making a badass entrance.

Debekah with Damon holding Rebekah back and comforting her while she cries

Dullena with Damon saying that Elena's call is "everything bad ever", saying he would’ve "grabbed her, gagged her, thrown her in a well"

4x15

Bamon with Damon staying on the island to look for Bonnie, Elena saying that Damon 'kinda loves' Bonnie, them hugging, Damon taking her home.

Debekah with Damon and Rebekah being a team and looking for Bonnie on the island.

Dullena with Damon making Elena turn off her humanity aka everything that makes her her with the sirebond.

The way the oldest book bamon fanfic is dating since 2001. 2001. That's 23 years ago. A 23 years old ship.

That Julie and the rest of the team completely ruined because they were petty. 😒

[scienter]

Yes! Stefan is such a wallflower lol. Didn’t Caroline and Damon make fun of Stefan’s lack of friends? XD Like I know people keeps on complaining the lack of stefonnie friendship but i think there’s a reason why they don’t interact at all, their personality don’t mesh well. Meanwhile Damon/Bonnie are great friends because Damon’s an extrovert so i think it is same with Bonnie too.

I don't know how Stefan and Bonnie's personalties would mesh because I saw little of them together. 🤔

Thank god for Bamon though. Damon and Bonnie's friendship was one of my favorite things about the last 3 seasons. It was refreshing and it balanced Steroline out well. I'm Team Belvafore all the way.

What are ships you think have potential but didn't happen in canon

Like..... for Katherine.... or in like the general TVD world? I'll answer for both I guess.

For Katherine-

Katholine had a LOT of potential, like if not for a romantic ship than definitely a friendship. Especially once Katherine was human and the bonded a lot more. You can really tell that Katherine felt a connection to Caroline because she shut it down HARD. When Caoline thanked her for helping out, she snapped so fast "Don't. I killed you once remember, we still hate each other." That was Katherine being scared because she genuinely cares about Caroline, which means Caroline can hurt her. So, mega ship energy there.

If Bonnie and Katherine had teamed up not even romantically the show would have just been over, bc that is a power duo right there.

I think if Elena had pulled her head out of her ass and tried to see Katherine as a person BEFORE SHE WAS ON HER FUCKING DEATH BED- that could have been a really interesting friendship. I do not think Katherine would have ever stopped going after Stefan, but I think Elena would have understood it more.

For the show in general-

BAMON BAMON BAMON BAMON. I mean it's pretty much canon. Just shy of a kiss scene seriously. It should have been canon, literally it would have been his healthiest relationship.

DENZO. Again just shy of being actually canon, the actors put all the subtext there on purpose- all that was missing was a kiss scene.

Elena and making good decisions, my favourite potential ship that just never happened. R.I.P

Carelena also had some underlying subtext on occasion and they would have been cute granted elena stop treating her poorly.

And you didnt ask for this but im a very opinionated girl so-

Ships that were canon and should never have been bc they're terrible and an affront to one or both of the characters involved!!

Delena

Ster0line

Whatever Valerie was (we do not recognize that gross creepy on this blog)

Vicki and Jeremy

tyler and his hybrid vendetta

[ruejanerue]

Babymonster looks promising at first, then come all the articles (rightly so) bout Batter Up not giving them what they deserve with those talents.

Come Sheehs. Let me tell you that Bada really pull it through with the choreos. It looks good, easy but difficult moves, and in tune with their core brand of group. This is the problem. YGE have their own core brand, they stuck with it, they rehearse it with better faces (some people said it, not me!), and they just didnt give a damn bout trend! Or at least hoping the core is still having a niche listener. But don't forget that Teddy have his own Girl Group team to debut to, so let's see how its gonna play in the future.

Bamon is totally a talented group in 5th gen for me. No questioning it, YG got the best people! At first I don't really like Sheesh, it's sounds old, too 2ne1, and bleh music videos. But that's also what I felt when I heard Whistle and as if it your last with BP. So I wait and wait for their real performance in Music show, then.. BaMon shows it! They prove that YG is still the best in giving Live Performance for me.

It makes me more excited of their songs in the future (while waiting for Teddy's new GG.) Hahahaha

Delena antis who bash Delena shippers: OMG Damon the most abusive character in TVD. If you're Team Damon you are an apologist for abusers.

Also Delena antis: Unapologetically ship Bamon and Datherine, give Stefan a pass and say he was a better person than what he thought of himself.

I don't get why they'd want the female characters they love with Damon then if he think he's the worst and treats women poorly. I think it's stupid that people overly scrutinize and judge others for ships and characters on a show like TVD which isn't even set in the real world. I've seen people criticize only Damon for things when Stefan, Klaus, Caroline, Tyler, and Katherine have done similar things.

Damon isn't the most abusive character on TVD, Klaus is. That's not me hating Klaus, that's me being honest. Every character on this show has done or is capable of doing similar violence because they're vampires. They hunt, feed, kill, manipulate, compel and use physical force if necessary. Not just one vampire on the show. All vampires on the show. Murder is abuse, the victim simply isn't alive to talk about it.

Stefan isn't better by any means. He's violent towards women both in past and present storyline. They show flashbacks of him abusing women in 1864, journals and flashbacks of him abusing women in the 20s. Women he's shown to abuse in season 3 and season 8. The migrant village in Monterey, which included women and children. They speak as if he's better because they believe his humanity switch is an excuse. It's not. The only victims Stefan can truly be excused of, are the two high school students Klaus compelled him to kill in the gym. The only kills Damon can be excused of, are the ones he committed for Sybil because they were by force. But I differentiate excusing and understanding. I may understand certain kills but not excuse them.

I find that most fans who bash Damon for abuse ship him with other characters. If they truly believed him abusive, then they really hate the characters they ship him with. They must really hate Bonnie. Those are the fans that bash Damon simply because he's with Elena and they don't like it. They hide their hate that he's with Elena behind their hate for abuse. Some fans are good at infantilizing themselves for a ship.

I do wonder what it is that makes y’all want to assign characters sibling/general nuclear family roles so instantaneously. Like, you’re the one superimposing the “sibling-like” or “parent/child-like” qualities pretty much eight times out of ten, not the media, and yet you’ll fight with such fervor with people who didn’t take leaps and bounds to get to the same conclusions you did regardless. The characters can’t all just be good ass partners or friends or overlords or mentor/mentee or have a potential future romantic/sexual relationship together. No, they have to be siblings, their bond has to be that of an older/younger sibling. This older character has to be this younger ones “new/other” parent, and the younger has to be their child, there is simply no other way. Just being a guardian or older figure/friend in a younger character’s life isn’t an option, the character has to be the younger ones father/mother or parentified brother/sister or aunt/uncle or grumpy cousin or some shit. What’s y’all’s obsession with assigning people nuclear family roles like it’ll kill you if you don’t? Why must the connection between characters be made explicitly into something familial or elude to potential blood relation for y’all to truly view it with importance? Where the fuck did that come from?

I’ll admit that sometimes the familial titles do fit headcanon wise (or are actively canon in a way I enjoy) but other times the way characters get forced into familial roles is just painful and limiting as fuck for characterization. Not to mention how y’all’s assigning and then forced implementation of these roles often just plain undermines the characters you don’t want to deal with but don’t want to seem bigoted for feeling that way about or traps minority characters in positional cages they can’t get out because y’all don’t want them with your perfect white characters romantically.

Got a group of boys in a team and couldn’t give a shit about the one or two girl characters? Pretend they just have so much of their shit together that there’s nothing for you to flesh out and that they’re like the boys’ mother so that’s why she’s so dull when you write her. And, you can use this same method to get black and brown characters out of your way as well!

Don’t want an interracial (usually where one character is black) couple to happen, especially in canon? Oh, just say they’re best friends and aggressively remind that to everyone at every goddamn turn. Or, alternatively, stress that they’re like brother and sister to you so you just can’t see them “that way” and tell that to fucking everybody even when no one’s asked.

Don’t want a third (usually female) character in a group of three to get “in the way” of your favorite (usually male) otp? Oh, just make her their daughter or (usually younger) sister. Bam! Problem solved!

Yes, I’m talking about Iron Dad & Spider Son. And Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, & Duke Thomas’s treatment in fandom. And Velvette from Hazbin Hotel and the way people treat her role in The Vees. And Damon Salvatore’s relationship with Bonnie Bennett’s treatment by TVD creators and fans (both the writing off of Bamon as a ship and ignoring of their strong friendship outside of being able to use it as evidence to further undermine Bamon as a romantic couple). And Doctor Strange and America Chavez in the MCU. And….

thank you!

[elsataejoon]

Bamon and Bonenzo. Don't get me wrong. Bonenzo was good. But where the hell did it come from??? Damon went to dessicate himself and BAM.. 3 years later bonnie is with the MOST RANDOM character. And let's be honest. Their chemistry was non-existent. There was never pining, yearning or I-will-die-if-I-can't-be-with-you scenes that led up to Bonenzo. Meanwhile bamon... they had THE PERFECT enemies to lovers plot with insane chemistry and character development for damon. But no.... certain people just couldn't be creative enough to make use of the actors' potential and storyline. I mean... What can we expect from Julie plague and her racist team anyways?!!

i hate when in media there are two characters with the most beautiful chemistry and in the next movie/episode one of them is suddenly in a relationship with the most random character they could’ve been with

[sansalicents]

delena, varchie <3

delena: i love them so much!! they've always been one of my favorite ships and they make me so nostalgic. their chemistry and built up was amazing. i slightly prefer bamon tho.

varchie: love them! great chemistry and they're so cute together. but i'm mostly team veronica needs to be happy <3

[lady-corrine]

Do you have any fic recs for book bamon? Thnx xx

Book bamon revival, let's go! 💖

My absolute favourite writer for them is WriterbyHeart. She captures book Bonnie and Damon so well in her fics, and they're always so electric and so delicious, simply chef's kiss! Red Flags, Slip, Storms and The Best Kind of Medicine are only a couple of my favs from her. (I'm still waiting for her Intentions Part 2 🤞)

Shock to the System is also one of my favourite fics for them.

ErzsebethBathory also had amazing fics with them, especially No Regrets, Mine, etc. Shine Together is especially dear to me because it's a pregnancy AU one and these one are so rare 🥹 The Way It Should Be it's Stelena centric but it's extremely fun how the author points out how nonsensical the ghostwriter's version is.

You Only Live Once is very very good, and the author in general has amazing bamon fics, predominantly their show version.

Just Let Go goes with the "what if Damon didn't manage to save Bonnie in Midnight and she really dies" route and it's heartbreaking. (At first I thought that maybe it's ooc for him to be so shattered by her death but that was before I read Lisa's continuations. Once I did read them, oh boy... The way he blames himself for putting her in danger and reacts at the posibility of her being slightly hurt makes it clear he would indeed go absolutely berserk if he were to lose her.)

Danielle Salvatore's fics for them are always so fluffly and so sweet. And I love that she really captured how soft and tender Damon is with Bonnie in book canon, something that many times is ignored.

Inevitable is a one-shot but it's genuinely so good.

These are the ones I remember for now, I'll add more at a later date. Unfortunately, as is probably obvious, there aren't that many fics (especially recent) with them. However, it's interesting to note that book bamon is the most popular book ship in terms of fanfics (as it should be god bless 😌). The lack of more works I blame on no one but Julie Plec and the rest of the tvd show team, who did not follow the books on their romantic relationship because of their racism. 😒
