#save bamon

[goddessxdivine]

the amount of examples that are in the replies and quotes of this tweet is crazy. richonne, westallen, shawngela, Zach and Lisa (saved by the bell), Nate and Raina (gossip girl), bamon, samcedes, ichabbie, sydcarmy, dickkory, etc. the list is both extensive and expansive. even in animation! people hate Amber in Invincible for no reason at all. I haven’t gotten into Arcane but i know people would rather ship Jayce with Viktor than see him with Mel

like why can’t Black women be loved beautifully and aloud?? the way snowbarry’s somehow stayed alive until the end of the flash was insane. and when it comes to TVD, Kat Graham had chemistry with literally everyone, AND everyone wanted to be Bonnie’s love interest. if it weren’t for fucking Julie Plec we could’ve seen such compelling love stories.

and another thing that gets me aside from the white ship not having chemistry, there will sometimes be one actor in the ship who’s not the most convincing. plainly stated they’re bad at their job, like Danielle Panabaker, for example. Candice Patton was dropping single tears, episode after episode, left and right, had me wanting to cry with her. Danielle, on the other hand, was trying to blink tears into her eyes LIKE COME ON! be so fucking for real

[cancerian-woman]

Bamon’s dynamic is lessened for the obvious reasons. But one thing that stands out to me the most in a Bamon vs. Bonenzo stance is that Damon is okay with being the bad guy in Bonnie’s eyes if that means she lives. Enzo did more saving in terms for Caroline/Lily drama lol.

[thepromisethatlovecouldbeeternal]

tvd adjacent so I wanna see if anyone else agrees

If you've read ACOTAR and are active in the fandom, I swear the ship war is veeery familiar to TVD 😂

You've got the "destined" pairing where people want them together because they're fated to be = Stelena / Elucien (of course, Elena actually liked Stefan whereas Elain does NOT like Lucien. AT ALL.)

The one where it doesn't even make sense but people ship it because they read waaaay too much into interactions that aren't even romantic, and somehow keeps coming up with headcanons that are already canon scenes for another ship? = Bamon / Gwynriel

The one that clearly has insane chemistry, and is all "fuck destiny", has many romantic and friendship moments, everyone around them can clearly see SOMETHING between them, to the point that even Stefan/Lucien can tell and it makes them uncomfy because they have to acknowledge that there is something there, they're touch her/him and you die/saved each other, hands them something they wouldn't trust with anyone else, spouts goddamn poetry to the other, etc. etc. = Delena / Elriel

And guess which TVD couple was endgame? 🤭

You have fans who also can't spell Gwyn's name, just like TVD fans.

Stefan = Stephan/Steven

Damon = Demon 💀 (this could be intentional but considering they can't spell Stefan or Elena's names either, I'm not sure.)

Elena = Elaine/Elain

People claiming if you don't like Gwyn it's because you're a victim blamer/haven't been SA'd (WHAT THE FUCK BTW) 😐/people claiming if you don't like Bonnie, you're racist.

Sadly, there may be a few that are, but to blanket statement a whole group of people of something horrible/disgusting because they simply don't like a character is wild.

The fandom bullshit will always happen. Sad.

That being said, the only difference for me personally, is that I actually don't care for Gwyn at all, Bonnie was great. Was she my fave? No. Did I dislike her? No. I wanted her to get her happy ending too.

Gwyn? I forgot she existed after I read ACOSF, if she never appeared again, I would not care.

Anyways, rant done.

[fairykery]

The Vampire Diaries opinions people hate me for:

Forwood is actually a good ship and I wish it didn't have to go down like that, at the expense of Caroline's character.

I ship Klaroline; but Klaus was toxic. I could only ever see this ship becoming endgame if Klaus redeemed himself first.

Caroline had chemistry with everyone except Stefan.

Bamon had potential (and it was literally in the books). If they had come up with a "I had my humanity off" plotline it would have made the ship work🤷🏻‍♀️

Bonezo is a good ship and is clearly less toxic than Bamon; but it only happened to please racist dullena fans that complained about Bamon's romantic implications(even if it happened in the books)

Caroline, Katherine, Bonnie, & Stefan are the most interesting characters of TVD

Jeremy & Anna were cute IDK🤷🏻‍♀️

Matt did not deserve the hate. His feelings were valid. All his friends were killers and he was an abandoned, heartbroken boy, whose mom was a drunk and pedophile, and his only sister & family was killed by the boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend who he loved alot, just cause he decided he was bored. He remained loyal & brave to his friends and they didn't account for their murders and killings & stopped caring for the innocent.

Alaric was not a bad father and teacher. Even if he had his slip-ups he was actually an interesting & good character.

Damon is way too defended In this fandom. People should like the character and not defend the wrongs?! Just how many women has he compelled to sleep with him and to let him drink their blood? And what about what he did to Aaron whitmore? He slaughtered entire families of Innocents even while dating Elena. So all that "sHe mAkEs hiM bEtTeR" crap, is not valid. You can like Ian's acting and the smugness of his character, & like the character for those reasons, without defending the terrible acts of the character.

Delena was a horrible ship. The only reason it's popular is due to the shallow fact that people see Ian as more handsome than Paul. The ship only has good chemistry and looks. Beyond that, there is nothing.

Stefan is still the better man. (Fried humanity/off humanity Stefan don't count just as it goes for all the other vampires) Gaslighting writing through the other characters won't change that(Nice try, Julie P)🤷🏻‍♀️

Alaric and Jo were really cute together. I don't care. They made epic twins together.

Elena is overloved; but overhated at the same time. It's annoying. Just love the kind human girl that she used to be and hate the vicious, selfish girl she became, without hating her for breathing. That simple.

Klelijah(Katherine x Elijah) is not a good ship. Katherine loved stefan. She was only using Elijah to survive, and back then she only pitied him. Elijah also only was with her because of what he did to Tatia

Katherine did deserve better though, even if she did bad things. Making her the biggest/& ultimate devil and pretending there wasn't any good in her was incredibly misogynistic. Like Damon & Klaus did worse things and they get happy lives and good character ends? Like No! Horrible! Katherine's core was a scared little girl who wanted to live a normal human life while still being powerful and beautiful. She was chased for 500 years, had to see her entire family slaughtered, lost a baby because of misogynistic expectations, found her again, just to see her last family die again. Did she do horrible things? Yes; all to survive. But she also saved Jeremy, Damon, Stefan, encouraged Elena to be honest about what she felt for Damon even when she didn't have to.

Caroline did annoying things; but overall she was an interesting character. And she was way too smart and strong as a vampire. I loved seeing it.

Bonnie deserved so much more than the show gave her. I hope she gets her own show one day. A show about witches would be pretty lit.

Rebecca could have tried harder to be kinder and less evil. I get she had centuries of habits she needed to break but still. (Elena stabbing her in the back was still shit though)

Klaus was evil to his default and was an abuser to his family. I'm glad he changed/died for hope; but still I would have been nice if there were other factors to this action.

They shouldn't have thrown away the good of Elijah Mikalson. He didn't deserve that. The way they also tried to pull a Stefan on him.

Haylijah was a cute ship🤷🏻‍♀️

Esther wasn't wrong about her children being evil as vampires. And what she wanted to do with them was have them live as humans.

What the originals did to Marcel was fucked up

What the originals did to Davina was cruel

I wish we could have seen more of the witch that played "the hollow".

Glamorizing Hope's evil side is not "a flex". Again, like the character & actor art; but not the vicious actions.

Hosie should have been canon

That random new original sister was so unnecessary.

Kolvina is the most interesting ship of the entire TVDverse I wish there was more of them

All TVD ships were good I just find: Steroline, Delena, & Klamille to be cringe. Steroline only happened to compensate Forwood/& Klaroline and justify Delena. And Delena only happened because of looks and the love story was trash. Klamille was also a compensation ship to Klaroline so yeah, cringe.

TVD writing, lore, acting, cinematography,. directing is all a 10. The only thing that is trash is the ending and all the romantic entanglement the show had.

To Thine Own Self Be True V (ft. two kinds of Bamon)

Curly frowns. “And there are really no other witches in Mystic Falls?”

Bonnie fiddles with the straw of her milkshake. “Not anymore.”

“I am truly sorry that you alone have to bare this burden, Bonnie.”

She looks up at him, confused, like the earnestness of Curly’s expression is completely foreign to her. Damon supposes it is.

“I’ll,” she breaks the eye contact, searching the coffee table for her books, “I’ll take these upstairs. Save me a slice for later, Care.”

Damon hops up from the armchair, intending to follow her. Curly’s eyes on him possess a thick, searing heat. It’s accusatory. He glances at his mirror image and shrugs.

As Damon ascends the staircase after Bonnie, Caroline asks Curly if he wants to have a go at some more combat training.

“Come on,” Damon hears the blonde command, not bothering to wait for Curly’s confirmation.

Bonnie does not turn around. She heads left on the landing, towards her bedroom, yet hesitates at the door.

“I know you’re there,” she says, into the silence.

“What-”

“I can’t hear you, or see you. I can just feel it. I kept sensing this weird energy, like someone was standing close to me - turns out they were.” She spins, her back pressed against the door, her eyes searching in the air for his. “You know you’re entirely at my mercy, right?”

Damon doesn’t move. She’s never spoken to him like this before: like she has power over him, though, of course, he’s always known that she has. It is a truth he keeps well hidden, as they traverse that fine line between friend and foe. Enemy and -

“All those times you’ve called me an incompetent witch...” Her brow arches; a smile, power, flirts with the right corner of her mouth. “You better pray I’m good enough this time.”

“I never actually meant that you were incompetent,” Damon begins, though Bonnie can’t hear him. Though Bonnie has turned the door handle and has slipped inside.

Tried my best to last two weeks without writing. I failed. Bamon have me gripped. Read the full chapter here.

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. 😒

[klonnieshippersclub]

sorry if i say the wrong words im white!!! until this account+Bonnie fans i was never into klonnie or thought of her without Enzo. i LUV Klaus for her now!!! more than Enzo but i am a big TO fan, i remember DG sticking up for LT/PT, u can find footage of that, u can never find anything of the TVD cast defending Kat?! on Reddit tvd fans have said nina saved Kat’s job though love ur blog keep posting content

Welcome to Klonnie! I'm glad to open you up to Bonnie outside of her being the magical negro trope. On to your question, you can't find footage of what doesn't exist. There have been rumors for years that Ian, Nina or Paul saved Kat's job. The answer is none of them did. According to Julie Plague, it was Kat who convinced her to keep Bonnie. The only reason these rumors persist is because are searching for a reason to make them white saviors. We're supposed to believe Paul, Ian and Nina stood up for Kat when her biggest opposition was Julie, their boss. They and Candice continue to have a relationship with Julie. Candice on-going and continuously positive relationship with Julie plays A LOT into Caroline’s treatment and favoritism in the fandom. Here Candice’s jokes about how easy it was for Julie to accommodate her during her pregnancy. Where was this accommodation for Kat in various situations.

It is unfortunate that anyone could receive death threats for a role they’re playing. Respect to Daniel Gillies for defending his costars from continuous hatred which to my knowledge feel free to correct me came from toxic KC stans. In Kat’s case it isn’t the same, no one defended her from the fans who’ve disliked her since day one because she wasn’t white. The hatred that Bonnie/Kat faces wasn’t just from the fans. The writers fed into it. Julie was often the leader fed of it too. Bamon fans were labeled rabid, Bonnie/her fans is insulted by Julie herself. Matt Davis even mocked Kat online. Julie claims she’s never liked Klaroline shippers yet continued to service them since 2010.

The cast of tvd are not heroes. Michael Malarkey even denied that Kat was being mistreated. Who is he to speak on a black woman's experience? If they actually believed Kat was wronged, why do they continue to engage with and work with Julie Plec? We all know Julie is a gross racist. She even made Megan Thee Stallion's shooting about herself. She hasn't learned because we see the same racist tropes she used against Bonnie in Vampire Academy. She's a terrible person and Kat was essentially on her own dealing with it, since her co-stars were too busy cozying up to their racist showrunner to get ahead.

In conclusion Kat saved herself. The end. She survived even after she was constantly sidelined and still for 6 years paid the lowest of them all. Kat did it by herself.

[vamqyr3]

Bamon angst but it’s just the fact that Bonnie truly created all of TVD. Saved it, helped it, built it from the ground up. Everyone asked of her and took from here with nothing to give in return. Doing all those things for Damon with nothing in return but simple apologies and him going to other women.

Damon has loved Bonnie in every timeline every universe. But there’s always another delusion or obsession for him to bet his self worth on. Devoting his mind to toxic cycles that don’t scare him. Because like Stefan said he would rather choose the role of villain. He’s used to it, convinced love is war. Everyone get out- the fact Damon never bought flowers for Elena, I’m spite of everything he’s done. Yet for Bonnie it’s a luscious bouquet. And still she’s left with no one and nothing. Get out.

[iminaworldofpureimagination]

okay so i dont hate damon thoimightwhenhekillstyler.. but here's my critism with the show and its consantly making characters shrug off everything he does ..

all the writing/friend choices baffle me

damon being friends with caroline mother will always be ehhhh as she never learns that he.. abused/raped her . ..and he's the one to give the eulogy and compliments caroline like yeah thats nice/all but the fact this guy is friends with liz is just weird. her reaction to caroline dating him was. Isn't that guy much to old for you?

and so was him and alaric he killed his wife/turned her into a vampire/heck having sex with her should =no friend zone on its own. plus all the times he killed him/ and he was anti delena in s3 but suddenly hes for it in s4.

damien being buddy with jeremy would be nice/all if he hadnt killed him/ then worked with enzo to kidnap/kill jeremy. also fuck enzo he sucks too.

Elena never learning about the second attempt on jers life i can only imagine was done bec they didnt know how she possibl excuse it and pretened that didn't happen..

Elena deleting her memories of love for damon and it resetting to him killing jeremy shouldn't end with her deciding 3 eps later hey Damon lets work it out. i much preferred when she was like wait i was in love with a man who killed my bro in front of me?? while still caring about if he gets hurt cause.. shes an empathic person.

and as much as i like bamon bonnie saying damon can still be saved after learning he killed a pregs woman bec he feels reomorse is just ew.. this show is way to apologetic of damon treatment of women and i hate it. ..

..

[kiss-my-freckle]

I want to know what Sybil did to Damon and Enzo.

Sybil is Damon's spirit sister, Seline is Stefan's spirit sister. But both brothers are both sisters because they are both monster and victim.

Their humanity switch is the only difference between Damon and Enzo at the open of season 8. Sybil gave Damon a glimpse of Hell, told him that's where he's going when he dies. And it's true, that's where he would've went after his death. Sybil said this was enough for Damon to flip his humanity switch. Apparently, the thought of going to Hell is too much for Damon Salvatore to handle. With Enzo's humanity on and Damon's humanity off, Enzo cares to fight, but Damon doesn't. That's why Enzo is the only one helping the MFG.

At the open of season 8, Sybil is forcing Damon and Enzo to feed her sinful humans. She's been trapped and starving for 500 years, so she uses her siren powers to control them to bring her dinner. The more she eats, the more she builds her strength, the sooner she can leave her pool. Similar to Damon in season 1. He was trapped and starving in the cellar for four days, so he used his crow gift to speak to Caroline. Difference is he hadn't been starved as long. So he didn't need to feed to leave the cellar, he fed after he leaves.

Their siren mind control far surpasses the kind of power that vampire compulsion has. So even if they tried to leave Sybil, she could psychically pull them back to her like a dog on a leash. And she does treat them like dogs. I mean, she psychically forces Stefan on his knees and makes it so he can't move, so he's literally kneeling like a dog. If it weren't for Damon's humanity switch being off, he would've ripped Sybil's heart out and saved Sarah. But it would take more than Stefan begging him to flip his humanity switch back on.

Because Stefan was using Elena to try and flip Damon's switch to save Sarah, Sybil discovers Elena. This causes her to switch tactics with Damon. She allows him his free will, but uses Elena's girlfriend powers to control him. "That is how much control you have over me." She does this by taking Elena's place in his memories. Essentially, she's becoming a fake Elena, a fake girlfriend. Fake Elena taking Elena's place in his memories can get him to do whatever she wants.

She discovers a second problem when she tries to get him to kill Bonnie because it's clear that he didn't try hard enough. That's when she discovers the Bamon relationship, and does the same thing with Bonnie that she did with Elena. She takes her place in Damon's memories. So even though Damon has his free will, he's serving a fake Elena and a fake Bonnie because she took their place in his memories. It's Bonnie's power over Damon that gets him to kill Tyler, so yeah… Damon technically killed Tyler for Bonnie. He then confronts Sybil because he has no idea what she did to him.

He has his free will -

"Because none of it is for me. I can't quite understand why I have free will and yet, I'm still your errand boy."

But she took Elena's place and Bonnie's place in his memories -

"I do things to make you happy, and I don't know why."

This is what's bothering him. He's fullfulling her needs to make her happy because he honestly believes he's doing it for Elena and Bonnie. How can he not, she replaced them in his memories. So he knows she did something, but can't put his finger on it.

Like I said, vampire compulsion doesn't compare to their siren power mind control, so you can see how it's similar, but better for sirens. From the moment they're linked, they're linked. Sybil is able to control what Damon says and when, let him remember what she wants him to and when. She does the same with Stefan. She tells him the story about how she and Seline came to serve Cade. After she tells him the story, she's able to erase Seline from his memory without so much as touching him. The tuning fork is the only way to break that link. It's like a loophole for compulsion, but on a more powerful scale.

Anyway, the necklace is the only way for them to fix Damon because he flipped his humanity switch, then Sybil took over Elena and Bonnie in his memories. This is how Caroline literally saves Damon. When she gave him the necklace, she created a problem for Sybil because she introduced the real Elena. At that point, Damon has two women in his head… Sybil pretending to be Elena and the real Elena. This allowed hm to choose between both women, and he keeps choosing the real Elena because she's warm and kind and caring and selfless. All the things that Sybil is not. "She's in your head, more powerful than Sybil, manipulating your every move." Forget Elena being more powerful than Sybil. She's more powerful than Sybil and Ripper Stefan combined. In the very place where Damon fell in love with Elena, he basically tells them both that he's done serving them. That's not who he is anymore because Elena made his heart a better place.

#7 "I almost lost you" + Bamon

this seemed too perfect for them...

Ahh! Thank you! I had fun with this: prompt list a little twist on this scene:

“So which way do you wanna go?” Bonnie asked, looking around. “Turn around, go straight..”

Damon watched as Bonnie’s pretty lips moved, her eyes squinting and her nose crinkling in annoyance at his silence. The purpose of this vacation was to help both Alaric and him heal from their recent losses and discover a new strength. Damon would openly admit to anyone who asked that Bonnie possessed a strength that neither he nor Stefan could ever match: the ability to move forward through adversity, no matter the cost. They would brood and get drunk until the bitter end.

Bonnie was still offering suggestions on directions and her ideas for the next travel destination. She couldn’t see the white truck coming towards her and the asshole behind the wheel didn’t care to slow down. The car inched closer and closer to the witch. Damon imagined how rewarding it would be to see Elena’s brown eyes on his, hear her laugh and offer hope for their future but there was a but.

He chose Bonnie for a reason.

Damon’s life would feel meaningless without Bonnie. Who else is going to fling spells at him when he’s being an ass? Provide the comforting scent of lavender that radiates from her skin, and remind him that she hates his cooking skills. Bonnie fits easily in his arms, even if she has to stand on her toes to wrap her arms around him. Bonnie will never know how grateful he is to hear her snoring when she sleeps, and her heartbeat increasing when she exercises too loudly in the morning.

“DAMON!” Bonnie yelled, snapping her fingers. “You’re not listening,”

Damon's blue eyes widen at the scene before him as he hears the driver repeatedly cursing about his inability to slow down the car. He blinks, trying to shake off the haunting image of Bonnie's red shirt and wavy brunette hair stained with her magical blood. She can't die, and he won't allow it. She's too young and inexperienced to have such a short life.

Damon utilized his vampiric speed to grab Bonnie and push her into the crowd. The last thing he saw was Bonnie being assisted to her feet by random bystanders, just before he felt the aching impact of the white truck colliding with his side.

Damon’s eyes flickered as he reopened them. White room, stiff mattress and dimmed lights and before he could move Bonnie was glued to his side checking his lower abdomen for bruises.

“You know you didn’t have to bring me here? I heal just fine.”

Bonnie punches Damon’s shoulder. “You were hit by a car, in front of people. I had no choice.”

Bonnie moves closer to Damon giving him a long hug, as she sits next to him. “I could’ve died, but you saved me. Thank you.”

“I almost lost you, and I never want to be in that position again.”

Bonnie smiles gently at his confession, choosing to set aside her urge to ask about the truck and why he hadn’t been listening for now. Instead, she leans in and kisses his forehead tenderly, feeling a wave of affection. She then decides to curl up beside him, offering her quiet support and understanding.

[andreal831]

Who do you prefer between Damon and Klaus?

Without the Originals, it would be harder to say, but I do prefer Klaus because of The Originals. I actually like aspects of Klaus' character whereas Damon is my least favorite character.

I've talked about how I distinguish characters in TVD in my head. We all do it differently, but for me the intent and motivation really matters. We are dealing with a show where every single character has killed at least once so we can't operate on the same standards we have in real life. They all kill, but different characters kill for different reasons which is how I distinguish the "good" v "bad."

The fandom loves to talk about how Klaus and Damon have these complex character arcs, but in the Vampire Diaries they were essentially the same character:

Childhood trauma + heartbreak = complex character

Klaus only pulls ahead in TO because we start seeing him actually wanting to be a better person. While Damon, to me, didn't care to be a better person. He just wanted Elena to like him. But when he realized Elena would forgive him for basically anything, he had no desire to be a good person. We see him kill Tyler and Aaron and even kidnap Jeremy when he isn't concerned about Elena's approval. There's never actually lasting improvement because he personally does not care to be a better person. He kills because he enjoys it. He sexually assaults and rapes because he doesn't care about other people. He never grows to care for humanity as a whole.

Klaus didn't just want to be a better person to earn Hope's love, but because he finally understood how precious life really was. He wanted to be a person Hope would be proud of and could emulate, but it wasn't just Hope, it was Hayley, Cami, Marcel, his siblings, etc. He actually begins to feel his humanity again. Now we do see a backslide in season 5 of TO and Klaus loses years of character development. But at least we saw a glimpse of the person Klaus had the ability to be.

We just don't see that with Damon. For Damon, things have to be absolutely perfect, otherwise he will find a way to destroy it all. I mentioned in my post about Bamon, but Damon can only show growth in a vacuum where nothing can tip him to be bad. Klaus on the other hand was constantly operating under intense pressure and, while 99% of the time made selfish decisions, we began to see him hesitating. Like when he doesn't want to sacrifice Davina even if it means he and Hayley will die (although if they had switched roles, sorry but Klaus was also sacrificing Davina to save Elijah and Hayley). But that hesitation shows growth from Season 1 where he was trying to sacrifice Davina every five minutes.

I don't think Klaus had one of the best character developments that has ever existed. In fact, I've often said that his development is very slight. But it is still more than Damon.

Also how Klaus treats Cami is infinitely better than how Damon treated Elena. Klaus was awful to Cami in Season 1 but we saw remorse and he worked to earn Cami's forgiveness. While Damon never once apologized for anything he did to Elena.

I can enjoy Damon's quips but at the end of the day I just didn't enjoy the character. There wasn't anything to redeemable in him. He is my least favorite in TVD. Whereas Klaus is not my least favorite in TO. There's something about that glimpse of humanity we see in him that makes me give him another chance. But then again, I've always said I relate to Elijah, even in his toxic traits.

Thanks for the ask!

[queercherrypie]

It's really funny to see Duhlena shippers trying to bring up something that Damon said in the first seasons to try to bring Bamon down. Damon undeniably loves Bonnie. Even when he could have just let her die he saves her life in the first few seasons, he cares about her even when he says he DOESN'T. Even Elena fucking acknowledges that she knows Damon kind of loves Bonnie.

Please, I'm crying.

Damon be like: I don't care about Bonnie 😒if I have to choose between Bonnie and you again, I'll let that bitch die,🌹🌹🌹 Elena 🌹🌹🌹😍

Also Damon: So...You've got powers coming out of your ass 🥹😩, you are so powerful, baby.🤌🥰 there's no chance of increasing this fucking odds? 🥺🥺🥺 Bon-Bon. 👉👈 🥺🥺👉👈

This happens in the exact episode that I saw them having this specific discussion and it keeps happening like...

Bonnie: If you're so mad, why did you feed me your blood to save me? 🔥😠😠😡

Damon: Because I do stupid things. 👉👈🥺👉👈

And don't even get me started on the way Sybil is intrigued by Bonnie. Not Elena...Bon-Bon.

Canon 🤌

[thepromisethatlovecouldbeeternal]

It's so stupid how Bamon fans bitch about how Delena "stole" their book scenes and show scenes and that Delena is the biggest offender of stealing from ships. They say Delena stole their bathtub scene in the books but besides the fact both had bathtub scenes they are nothing alike and Damon also had bathing scenes with Sage and Andie. They say Delena stole their first meeting since Damon erased Bonnie's memory in it as well which is the only commonality. But nobody ever points out how Bamon stole Stelena's first meeting since that book Bamon scene came out 2 years after the show and in both cases on the first meeting the girls' lives were saved and neither remembered who their savior was (Stefan in Elena's case). Plus in book Bamon's first meeting they kiss which is different from Delena's dynamic. They say Delena stole pancakes from Bamon but pancakes had to do more with Damon's character and were a reference to 1994 rather than a ship thing. Plus Delena dated and lived together for a long time so of course they would've made many breakfasts together. Bamoron logic is funny.

Honestly, I didn't read the books. I read the first two because I bought the omnibus from Costco, and I thought it was kinda bad. How JP and KW read it and went, "yeah, let's make a tv series from this" is actually kinda surprising.

So for me, I don't care what happens in the books. I read enough to know the book and the tv series are COMPLETELY different.

Bamon didn't invent bathtub scenes, or the trope "forgotten first meetings" lmfao.

And Delena couldn't have stolen pancakes from Bamon because Elena didn't have her memories ,so when she did the vampire fangs with the whip cream, that was her body remembering, even if her mind couldn't.

Honestly, it's just best to not interact with Bamon shippers. They like to take Delena's things and make it theirs lmao

Hi... I have read a lot of your fics on A03 and fanfiction net and first of all I wanna say; You are a truly amazing, gifted, masterful and captivating author. And I love you. I'm never able to move on from your fics. Of course I go about with my life but the stories are there in my mind, eating at me...in a good way. You know... I finished entire TVDU altogether, like I started watching Originals right after finishing TVD and Legacies after Originals. So, I never really stayed too much on TVD. Also personally, I never liked TVD because of all the love triangle drama. A love triangle is my least favorite trope, especially when it comes between 2 best friends or siblings. And the whole drama was so unnecessary. I'm not saying Delena is irrelevant. But it was 100% over-hyped. Even then, I've noticed Bamon. I was a fan of Klaroline. And in the middle of searching for Klaroline fanfics I found myself typing Bamon in the search bars of wattpad. I never dwelt upon on it. I saved a lot of different type of fics to my library then deleted it all during on of my breakdown sections. Then I got into BL fandom. That was so random and I was a devoted jikook fan for a year. I still am. But about a month ago I randomly searched for Bamon fanfic on A03. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT INSPIRED ME. I wasn't even thinking about rewatching TVD or anything. I just opened A03 and searched Bamon. And your "guilty ones" is the first that I came upon. It was a ride ever since then. Every time I read one of your stories I'm hit with a whole of emotions. When I started reading bamon I intended to binge watch TVD. But now, it physically pains me to watch it knowing that we'll never get a bamon endgame even when they had such STRONG CHEMISTRY, PLOT LINE AND POTENTIAL. And watching him go after Elena as her loyal dog just hurts and irritates me beyond words. Damon saying "I love you" to bonnie and then adding "just like Elena did"... I never hated a fictional scene so much. THE BETRAYAL. You don't even wanna know how much I bawled my eyes out after reading "Preludio". I know it had a happy ending. But still, all the death and unrealized feelings got the best of me. Your stories evoke a lot of feelings in me. And I can't seem to get enough. I just hope you are doing well and will find your inspiration for all the halfway stopped Bamon fics. Love you.

Hi there, thanks a lot for reading my stories and for reaching out. I am just so happy whenever I get to open people's eyes to the untapped, beautiful potential of Bamon. The show basically spelled out they were soulmate and enemies to lovers but then chickened out of it because they were cowards and other things I won't mention because it just makes it all worse. I hope I don't sound mean or cruel, but I love when people cry over my stories lol, it's just that it's such a visceral reaction that tells me you were really captured by it and lived the feelings to the fullest, so that makes me really happy.

Every now and again the thought of going back to finishing my stories cross my mind, but work and poor ispiration gets in the way usually. People don't seem to engage with my stories as they did before, since the show is not on anymore, so part of me is not sure it wouldn't be just wasted time/effort, still, I am aware I haven't give up on them, so I suppose it's just a matter of time. Stick around if you can.

LONG WISHLIST POST UNDER THE CUT. DM me if you're interested in starting any of these:

ALL POTC Characters: All curses at sea are broken with the destruction of Poseidon’s Trident, but there must always be someone to ferry the souls of those lost at sea to the afterlife, and with Will Turner escaping his fate on the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones is recalled from the dead, a new curse reclaiming him in order to fulfill this purpose. After escaping it with his death, peace in the afterlife, he’s more livid than he was before. At Will Turner, at Jack Sparrow, at Calypso, the world.

Azriel - finding his mate please & thank (i have no stake in the ship wars like I’m down for either of the popular theories or also someone new thanks) Stannis - taking King’s Landing at the battle of the Blackwater. :)! Daisy - meeting with other former members of the band (sans Billy obviously) after the break up of the band because she was friendly with them Karen - running into other members of the band (especially Graham) years later Baron - Escaping prison and going after the Strongholds for revenge and finding out his own son is friends with Will Frank - Exploring other relationships within members of the Victory Project, besides his one with Alice (which I love) or Shelley (ditto) Loki - Tricking Thanos and not actually dying at the beginning of Infinity War and surviving the Snap (or dying in the Snap and coming back for the final battle but I prefer the former because Thor needs a goddamn break) Carolyn - surviving on the dark planet, somehow, healing after the stab and eating the creatures, repairing a ship and getting the hell out of there, running into other characters from the initial mission, or Riddick himself Madge - ending up in 13, having spent more time with Katniss’ family and Gale during the QQ, though her parents did not make it out 12. Being there for Katniss when she can be during her time in 13. Clemensia - Post the snake bite and into University, while still healing and reeling from the side effects of the snakes’ venom

Morrigan / Eris - Honestly, their marriage going through. I’m curious what would have happened. I’m also very interested to explore theories of what we THINK happened because context clues give us enough to know that Eris isn’t the guilty party. Tywin - Knowing or realizing that Arya was not who she claimed and taking her back with him to King’s Landing, but keeping her out of sight until after the wedding. Lily - More in any au where she apparates away with Harry to a safe house (Remus, Sirius, Dumbledore, Minerva, Molly, anyone in the Order). Harry Osborn - ANYTHING IN ANY VERSE HE’S MY BOY (he’s been neglected on my solo muse) Loki - His trick with Thanos being another feint: he’s duplicated himself once more, and reveals himself to Thor just after Thanos disappears and the ship explodes, both are saved by the Guardians. ETC. Ben / Adrian - Am I the only person who genuinely thought they were the best ship? That they absolutely loved each other in the end, until Mercy passed? Anyways, Mercy lives. And so thus do Ben and Adrian. Together. I can also see them moving past it if the show was so focused on having Ben be a pick me for Amy. Matt the Radar Tech - Running into SW people for laughs, them thinking he’s Ben. He’s not. They just look alike. A lot. Lily Page - Meeting her father (I still HC that as being Zorro) or repairing her friendship/relationship with Emma. Katniss - Instead of her tracker being cut out, it’s Peeta’s that is, and he is saved by 13, and she is taken to the Capitol to be tortured for information and to try and turn the tides against the Rebels. Bonnie - Someone love her please and don’t DIE IN THE MEANTIME. I’m a big fan of well done Bamon, Bonkai, Benzo, Bonora….But also could be convinced of anything. Rosalie - An idea being what if she was already married to Royce when he and his friends did what they did? The revenge plot takes an entirely different meaning when it’s a husband, particularly if she’s already been hoping for a child, which is further dashed by her survival and change into a vampire.

Nesta - accepting eris’ offer :)! Robb - making it to king’s landing and winning the war, liberating the North, and getting Sansa back to safety, then having to head out and find Arya. Violet - anything in her marvel or ouat verses tbh I spent a lot of time on those Shelley - taking over the Victory Project after killing Frank. Max - coming back after that summer for the start of college, much to everyone’s surprise and keeping his escapades close to the chest (idk the timeline of that show it was a fucking mess lmao) Mark, Lawrence - I want to write more about their dynamics with each other as apprentices to John. We only briefly get Mark and Amanda interacting - gimme more. Bruce - let’s throw out the entire mcu because it’s fucking trash for him thanks. Brunnhilde - More of her relationship with Carol :( Kamala - Building of the young avengers lets GOOO Loki - anything :( Sid - I am fuLLY CONVINCED SID IS THE FATHER AND JESSE IS A RED HERRING (I already have this going I just wish more people cared about HIMYF) Brian - Going to NY and seeing Justin again. :)! Snow White - anything :( Charming - I have about 90420934902 aus for him honestly. I have so many ideas for this stupid idiot. Neal - surviVING AND COPARENTING WITH EMMA AND REGINA SHIPS DON’T FUCKING MEAN YOU HAVE TO KILL A GOOD CHARACTER WHO LITERALLY WAS THE REASON RUMPLESTILTSKIN MANIPULATED REGINA INTO CASTING THE FUCKING CURSE MY GOD THIS SHOW PISSES ME OFF anyways Davy Jones - returning after the ‘curse’ is lifted from Will Turner, because someone must always be there to ferry the souls to the other side Ben Solo - ANYTHING :( Jyn - her and Cassian getting evacuated just before the explosion and surviving, assisting the Rebellion. Finn - training as a jedi (either trilogy re-write or post trilogy) Jar Jar - i s2g if someone doesn’t write with Sith Jar Jar… Anakin and Padme - either an au where she convinces him to run away with her and leave everything behind and raise their children on Naboo before Obi Wan shows up and he believes her when she says she didn’t know he was there and they enlist his help in staging their deaths OR an au where he convinces her to join him on his path to the dark side. (i write both so I’ll write either) Carolyn - escaping the dark planet after surviving the stabbing, living off of the creatures that would be her demise, fixing a ship in the darkness, built by lights she manages to fix throughout the rubble, and fires made along the way. finding other riddick characters / riddick himself Coriolanus Snow - Exploring more of his additions to the games and how he helped to curate them to be the spectacle they became. Annie - Not having anyone to volunteer for her so having to go through the Quarter Quell with Finnick (Hi I love PAIN). Not escaping the Arena and being taken back to the Capitol. Madge - Watching the Games with Katniss’ family and thus being there when the blackouts happen and escaping District 12 with Gale and everyone else to District 13. Kili - surviving PLS Renesmee Carlie - more of her dynamic growing up in a town that’s definitely got an attraction for the supernatural. Bella - not taking Edward back immediately, actually being pissed that he lied like what a dick Sam - imprinting on LEAH jfC WHAT A WASTE (or better yet, Leah being the first wolf to change and imprinting on HIM thanks) Garrett - torn between natural instincts, love for Kate, and never letting himself be tested by a challenge, learning how to survive and satiate on animal blood vs. human blood

Wishlist based solely on songs from TTPD. Please do not steal. Message me if interested. These are VAGUE IDEAS based on the song lyrics, not based on the history behind the songs or their literal meanings. Muses listed are just ideas, but they’re all open to all muses. Mentions of drug use, alcohol abuse, mental illness, abuse, etc. are involved in many so if those trigger you, I would not read more. This is part 1. I will put more at a later date:

Fortnight: A manic episode turned into full psychosis, muse A ends up in a psych ward. Muse B (either another patient or the treating doctor) and Muse A fall for each other, creating a scenario either in the minds or in the midst of Muse A being released. I love you, it’s ruining my life.

The Tortured Poets Department: Muse A and Muse B are in a situationship, but Muse A wants more, while Muse B is happy with their situation, considering the benefit of their freedom to explore other options, while both muses are using the relationship to advance their own perspective lives (either in writing, music, etc.). Muse A is desperate to keep Muse B, but Muse B is not committed. Who’s gonna hold you like me? Nobody. Nofuckingbody.

My boy only breaks his favorite toys: Muse A falls in love with Muse B, and is madly in love, until time has wasted away their relationship, and Muse A realizes they are not in love, but they also don’t want to be the one to end things. Endlessly breaking them down, emotionally, until Muse B ends it themselves. There was a litany of reasons why we could’ve played for keeps this time. — cause you should’ve seen him when he first saw me.

Down Bad: Falling for someone quickly and suddenly only to have them ghost, disappear, almost like they weren’t really there in the first place.

So Long, London: Muse A uproots their entire life to be with Muse B, moving far away from their home, friends, family, and essentially pours everything into the relationship. It’s great, for a while, and Muse A even falls in love with the place they live, but the messy breakup does cause it to be hard to leave. Eventually, Muse A does leave when the relationship shows no future, but moving on is harder than expected. And I’m just getting color back into my face. And I’m just mad as hell ‘cause I loved this place.

But Daddy I love Him: Muse A and Muse B are in a controversial relationship. Muse A is constantly warned by family and friends that Muse B is bad news. Everyone is constantly trying to get Muse A to leave Muse B, but they are far too deep into it now. I’ll tell you something right now, I’d rather burn my whole life down, then listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning. I’ll tell you something about my good name, it’s mine alone to disgrace.

Fresh out the Slammer: Muse A has been in a long time relationship, but it’s ending quickly, and tumultuously, and as soon it’s over, they call Muse B, their ex (either relationship or situationship or hookup), because they want someone familiar, who they know they can love and who loves them in return. Fresh out the slammer I know who my first call will be to.

Florida!!!!: Muse A has had a messy breakup, and wants to escape. Muse B lives in a far off place, and invites Muse A to escape there, where they can be fun, and messy, and forget the past. Bury their ex’s in the swamp (figuratively) and move on. So I did my best to lay to rest all of the bodies that have ever been on my body.

Guilty as Sin?: Muse A and Muse B are dancing around each other, for several reasons. Fantasies aside, what is stopping them from taking the next step? What if he’s written 'Mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind?

Guilty as sin Elriel plots when? OR Feysand? Fresh out the Slammer Neris plots when? Who’s afraid of little old me Nesta embracing Lady Death plots when? So long london Feyre about the Spring Court plots when? The Albatross being Nesta plots when? I hate it here Nesta plots when? The Prophecy Lucien plots when?
