I think Jeremy as the father of Bonnie’s children is the best option for canon in Legacies they made him guest star with barely any mentions of Bonnie.

Jeremy was the worst boyfriend Bonnie had. She was practically his parent with how often she had to look after his wellbeing. Bonnie shouldn't have to mother the father of her children. Jeremy didn't even do anything to make up for the emotional abuse of cheating-season5. That's why Bonnie still carries the weight of his infidelity around even when they get back together. Tbh, a big reason why I’m anti-Beremy outside of cheating is that it is mainly about Elena not necessarily Bonnie and Jeremy. A lot their moments are Elena-centered discussions. Bonnie deserves far better and so does the Bennett line.

JP mentioning how Bonnie’s permanent death was supposed to be for s5 on Twitter. How she said Kat “begged” for her job mixed with the discrediting and ignoring the Bennett’s in TO/LGCs. Bonnie was never going to get anything after 2017. She couldn’t wait to be free of Bonnie. She hoped Kat would give up and quit the way Trevino did.

LGCS writers bluntly said Bonnie wasn’t an important character for their musical but we all know what that double entendre meant. Bonnie’s not important at all once Elena/Caroline got their happy endings and families. We don’t even have the luxury of seeing Bonnie at peace in the finale scene or reconnecting with her family after all those years. The only time we see multiple Bennett’s at once is when they’re saving the day.

Bonnie barely gets mentioned at all. Bonnie not ending up with Jeremy is truly a miracle considering how much JP hated Bonnie stans and Bonnie herself. There’s ZERO respect to Bonnie given how much Bennett blood the Salvatore Boarding School has and the ascendant in order to send children into prison worlds. Plecverse didn’t even respect the POC characters they had on LGCs. Bonnie wouldn’t have been the exception.

Thank you for the ask! 💜💜💜

MY JERANNA HEART HURTS!!!!!!! I SHIPPED THEM SO HARD AND THEY DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER! I never shipped beremy like I've softened towards them my last rewatch but I still don't ship them, they happened out of nowhere!! jeranna were so perfect together and I think S3 showed he never got over her and if she didn't die they'd still be together imo they were soulmates!!

I have two hot takes:

1. I don't really have issues with Beremy. In fact, I imagine years later Bonnie and Jeremy laugh about dating and take it in stride they were better off as friends than romantic partners (i.e. Jeremy acted like a romantic partner when friends but not really when they were dating). Further more, Jeremy definitely became a badass supernatural vampire hunter and still doesn't hesitate to keep in contact with Bonnie as she grows into a tale-no-prisoners Bennett Witch.

2. In S8, when Bonnie and Caroline went into Damon's head and encountered Shelia, Liz, and Tyler? I will admit it was a cute take, but I don't recognize it. It was Damon's head of all places, not the real people. He might have gotten Sheila right, sort of, but I imagine Liz and Tyler - the real individuals - would not be anything like what the girls encountered. I don't think Liz would ever hurt Liz, but she was clueless as to what Damon was and who she knew. Tyler...that was basically to make us the viewers get over Damon killing him and I think he'd be much worse or pissed off with Bonnie if HE was the gatekeeper of his guilt or whatever. So, I don't recognize it and if Liz and Tyler came back in real life, it would be such a rude awakening.

1. Me personally, when it comes to Beremy, it’s not even the cheating that bugs me. It’s the fact that it seems like a lot of the times, Bonnie seemed more like Jeremy’s babysitter than his girlfriend. Not exactly like how Elena is Damon’s in the later seasons because Jeremy never acted like Damon did, but there was just this power imbalance which is just ugh to me. I wish they stayed friends the whole time. And Jyler and/or Jeranna could date. While Bonnie could’ve been paired up with either Caroline, Damon, or Luka (they were cute early on).

2. When it comes to Liz, I don’t think a lot about it, but it did suck that she came back only to haunt Care.

And Tyler, oh don’t even get me started on that. I love Bamon, but Bonnie defending that man after he killed Tyler. Like even if he was trying to atone or whatever, that doesn’t mean that Tyler isn’t allowed to hate Damon and want vengeance.

How would Elena and Caroline react to Klaus and Bonnie? Bonnie’s their bestfriend.

Negative at first. This isn’t an anti-Elena or Caroline moment at all. I do think they'd warm up to Klonnie in their own way. Let me explain.

Elena’s arc is about grief, keeping those close to her and finding a way to be happy again after lost. So, in return Elena grows attached to people that essentially wouldn't leave like vampires or Bonnie. I'm going off S1-2 was the strongest that Bonnie and Elena were. They shared secrets with each other, texted every day, did cheerleading, sleepovers, and viewed each other as sisters. Elena wanted Bonnie to be close with Stefan because they both were important to her. When Elena is upset, she goes to Bonnie for comforting. When Bonnie is hurting Elena wants to be there for her. The writing doesn't allow that though. Elena certainly doesn't like being cut off from Bonnie or finding out she's hurt. Elena loved that Beremy was a thing. It kept Bonnie close and her brother happy. Now include everything that goes on in S1-3. My point is Elena is very dependent on Bonnie.

Caroline's issues with Elena were insecurities and projection but even then, when DE became a thing, she didn't mind frequently bashing their relationship as she saw fit. Keeping Elena informed on who she was dating context does matter because the series ignores how Damon treated her. But with that in mind, she'd do the same about Klaus just venting about how terrible he is and how much of a problem he creates for everyone. The series doesn't consider Bonnie someone Caroline has to be jealous of for obvious reasons but if Bonnie was being given a great amount of attention, I do think those patterns could repeat with Bonnie. In general, Caroline does exist in her own world but still depends on or expects Bonnie to be there. We've seen Caroline venting to Bonnie often.

Klonnie would be a lowkey thing for a while. Bonnie would feel conflicted in her feelings and trust for Klaus, she wouldn't take him seriously while keeping up the mentality that she has to be there for everyone. Klaus have to do way more than giving her gifts to win her over. Bonnie wouldn't try to make Klaus suddenly like her friends either. She wouldn't allow a relationship to persist if he's harming them. Klaus would be so determined on making Bonnie believe him. Adding in Klaus will claim he doesn't care if Bonnie bonds with his family but he's lying. She'd get closet to Kol and Rebekah in the meantime since they wouldn't go tell the MF about Klonnie imo. Bonnie would want to confide in her friends about her relationship as it grows. When it all does come out, I do think Elena would only once mention Jenna's death in an argument out of being hurt that Bonnie kept this secret for so long. Or not knowing where their friendship stands if Bonnie continues to be separated from her since she's been holding onto that secret relationship for who knows how long. Same, for Care completely I do think she'd slip up and imply once why would Klaus take an interest in Bonnie, that he's using her for magic or how it all is some bad idea. Which would be all fears Bonnie has had and wanted to share more than anything else, but I do believe once Elena and Caroline see how happy Bonnie is and lets her confide in them about her relationship, they would love that Bonnie is happy that's all that would matter to them. If she was happy, and getting the love back she was given then they're okay. Would they like Klaus for her? Nah, and certainly not going to enjoy getting used to not being so dependent on Bonnie cause Klaus would break that up.

To sum it all up they'd be negative and very critical at first still wouldn't like Klaus for Bonnie long-term. They may say the wrong things initially but they'd both apologize talk out why they said or feared things with Bonnie being with him. Most of the hurt would be not understanding why Bonnie didn't come to them about Klaus. Then they'd go interrogate Klaus demanding he'd treat her right. I can see Carolena stalking Klonnie on their dates just to see how this relationship was going. Bonnie would just have to catch her bestfriends up at a sleepover that's all.

Hope this helps!

4, 6, 12, 16 for Bonnie Bennett, Davina Claire, and Josie Saltzman?

How many people I ship them with

For Bonnie... hmm. This post goes through each of them in a way that pretty much reflects my own view (I never ever otp-ed Bamon and I enjoyed Bonkai's dynamics, but otherwise pretty spot on). So I wouldn't say I shipped-shipped her with anybody, at the end of the day, but I appreciated Bonkai, Bonenzo and Beremy, with caveats.

I only shipped Davina with Kol, especially in season 2. They were outstanding.

For Josie: Penelope, of course (exes! back together!), Finch, Rafael, and Jade.

My least favorite ship of them

Bonnie-Elena........ were there ever alternatives for Davina lol (I mean, she liked that other boy in season 1 but that was cute). I'd seriously side-eye anyone who shipped her with the other Mikaelsons, fuck them xD.

And Josie/Landon was mortifying.

Sexuality hc!

Well, I remember my mixed feelings when it was rumoured Bonnie might be written as bi in season 6 (otoh, character I love! and find very attractive! a possible queer lady!! on the other... this could cast her dynamic with Elena in a very complicated light). And again, you have to be very straight to like some of these guys lol. But if we accept the premise that she found Nora physically appealing, if nothing else, bi?

I could see Davina as being into women, easily. She actually likes their company, it seems xD. And Josie was canonically bi, so.

Bi women everywhere, yay.

A childhood headcanon

Bonnie never replaced Ms. Cuddles with any other comfort object.

Davina had a bees phase.

Josie really hated The Wizard of Oz. Anti-witch propaganda xDD

Speaking of the whole mess of Bonnie resurrecting, I get that she loved him, but I don't see the logic in Bonnie taking it upon herself to ressurect him. She wasn't responsible for his death, she was bleeding out after being stabbed (which made 0 sense for Vaughn to stab her but the writer love seeing her in pain so whatevs) The first person who should have been blaming herself was Elena and the Salvatores but of course, they never face consequences. I would have liked for him to stay dead tbh.

Hey anon,

There is no logic about Bonnie taking it upon herself to resurrect Jeremy either time aside from the writers loving to see Bonnie in distress and in pain and using her powers for the sake of other people. She wasn't responsible for his death even the first time when Sheriff Forbes', Yosemite Sam trigger happy ass shot him, either. But they had her resurrect him, declare love, and lose a shit ton of power only to be cheated on with a ghost and even they made that somehow her fault because the ghosts were a "consequence" of her resurrecting him.

Elena and the Salvatore caused a lot of deaths they never had to take responsibility for and Bonnie had to take responsibility for a lot of deaths and lives she wasn't responsible for so what would make this case any different under the pen of these writers?

If you really want to know the real real of it, Jeremy should have stayed dead the first time he died. He served no purpose. All he was was a containment pairing for Bonnie to appease her fans and even that was turned to shit after the ghost debacle, and Elena's tagalong. By the time they even got to the whole storyline with Silas, Bonnie should have been the focal point anyway. The Five were a disappointment as a whole because everything that could have made them interesting was negated by them being completely ineffective and Jeremy's whole hunter storyline was a ploy to give him a plot and that even failed.

As for Bonnie bleeding out and still being expected to save the day, like Bonnie was expected to save the day when she was literally dead. Like Bonnie was responsible for saving the day for her damn self because no one could be bothered. But what else should be expect from "I believe black women will save the world", Julie Plec who apparently believes that black women are responsible to carry the universe while no one else has to carry any responsibility or even show gratitude. Meanwhile Elena gets the "you is smart, you is kind, you is important," treatment without being literally any of those things.

How was Jeremy useless?! So tired of that lame ass narrative. Just because he wasn't a Damon/Stefan/Klaus. At some point he was given character development with the hunter storyline & he actually had more involvement in the storyline with other supportive characters like Matt & Tyler, unlike Bonnie. The writers just neglected their relationship. Plain & simple. You're delusional.

Because I don't have time to rewrite this all I'm just going to post a convo between me and @leianaberrie about your ask. And yes, I talk to the BKers in discord about your anon asks, especially when I'm trying to process how I feel about the ask. Yes, we occasionally laugh at them, but mostly we just share frustration especially with racist anons (you know who you are). TBC, that's not you anon, but you should see the crap I've gotten in my inbox.

P.S. @leianaberrie if you have any issues regarding things you said on discord being posted on my tumblr I will gladly delete this.

Jeremy didn't rape anyone or violently assault any woman tho yet in ur opinion, he's more "useless" than your fave white male rapist . Stayclassy.

Jeremy cheated on Bonnie with a ghost and broke her heart.  Jeremy  was indeed useless as he just went along with Bonnie’s plan to keep her death a secret for four months and did nothing at all to attempt to bring her back until Damon came up with a plan to do so.  While Bonnie was in the prison world, Jeremy was around just screwing a bunch of women, because he didn’t want to have hope that Bonnie was alive or could be brought back to be let down.

Yet, Bonnie didn’t give up on him and died to bring him back to life.  Just showing how unequal their relationship was.  As Bonnie did most of the heavy lifting and the work.  Sacrificing herself for the Gilberts.  He didn’t even bother to try to save her from the prison world until the last minute.  Then did not even stick around to make sure that Bonnie was alright or okay once she got out of the prison world. But, at least she had Damon who was there for her, the first one she ran to when she came back.

Jeremy also killed thousands of vampires which included some “innocent” vampires when he and Elena killed Kol’s sireline.  Yet Bonnie had to be left behind with an angry Klaus once again to clean up the mess the Gilbert’s had made.

Jeremy may not have been violent with women the way that the other vampire and supernatural male characters have been.  Yet, was bad and toxic for Bonnie in his own ways.  His relationship with Bonnie wasn’t healthy because she was a martyr for him.

He is as useless as Enzo is in how Bonnie was suppose to be his girlfriend yet Damon has to be the one to come in and come up with a plan to save her life.  Because both of her canon boyfriends were just willing to enable her unhealthy habit of sacrificing herself and putting her life and well being on the back burner for the sake of others or because of morals.  Or whatever reason she comes up with not to fight for her life or accept death. 

you prefer Jeremy with Bonnie or Enzo with Bonnie, and why?

bonenzo, no contest 

b*eremy is the worst tvd ship, in my opinion. yeah, even worse than d*elena. it’s that poorly handled and written. even the tiny spark of potential it had in s2 was guttered by the racist choice to have bonnie constantly put herself in harm’s way for him and his family. 90% of their time together was him weakly fretting over her welfare while she soldiered on without even listening. it’s like…replace jeremy in that scenario with any random dude and it would be the same thing. she clearly did not care for his opinion and i don’t blame her. i mean she kept insisting she loved him by doing these reckless things for him, but she hardly ever consulted with him about her thoughts and feelings. 

meanwhile even tho i have my gripes with bonenzo (namely that it could’ve been better developed, starting from an earlier season and without OOC-ing bonnie in the last season), it’s miles ahead in terms of chemistry and actual romantic content. bonnie and enzo have actual scenes where they enjoy and love each other, as opposed to jeremy making mopey faces while bonnie bleeds her nose out for elena. 

What is it about Bonkai that you like?

The have an undeniable amount of chemistry. Kat and Chris work well together.

It is Bonnie’s first fleshed out romantic arc since Jeremy (which spawned for most of her time on the series and frankly -even though I love Jeremy - he was a shitty excuse for a boyfriend and the romance was flat).

The Kai storyline in season 6 gave Bonnie agency and allowed her to be powerful while centering a plot around her magic that wasn’t a result of Bonnie sacrificing herself or helping someone else.

Bonnie called Kai out on his shit.

Bonnie got to exact revenge on Kai.

Bonnie defeated Kai twice.

Banter

It’s one half Kai

It’s one half Bonnie

erotic spell casting

It’s hot

It’s complex

Intense stares

It’s was the most interesting romantic Bonnie storyline.

Before that whole Enzo thing (which was lackluster tbh - although I didn’t hate it) it was rare that Bonnie was presented within the narrative as sexy/attractive/the object of desire etc… Damon was fixed with Elena (as were Matt and Stefan but with less intensity), Klaus was fixated with Caroline. Dangerous mysterious men having a desire for the innocent girl is kind of a running theme throughout the show. You can debate the misogyny within that writing but that considered; it does present the image that Bonnie is less desirable and attractive if she doesn’t receive that same treatment as her white counterparts. Sure Jeremy had feelings for Bonnie and expressed as much but he took her for granted and the relationship had a large focus on him and not Bonnie. Bonkai is the opposite in that many of Kai’s actions reflect his infatuation with Bonnie.

It had so much potential

That’s just a few things. (Feel free to add)

i said on another platform that it would’ve been nice if Bonnie separated herself from Elena after she tried to kill her in s4. Someone replied with how stupid my idea was and that it doesn’t make sense. Yes, Elena’s humanity was off, and she didn’t have a choice in turning that switch. I do agree! however, that didn’t change what she did try to do with the switch off. It only took her emotions out the situation not the action at hand. Elena in s6 even tells Caroline that turning your humanity switch off is a mistake.

But why is that idea of Bonnie having separation and agency in her own feelings so negative? It never should’ve been a point where Bonnie is the only one giving while the others aren’t doing the same. Elena just gives a quick apology and Bonnie says she understands it wasn’t her and she herself hasn’t been who she is in a long time. But, frankly that isn’t enough. If Bonnie took some time to step back and reflect this also could’ve kept her from dying later on in s4. She wasn’t fighting to bring Jeremy back for herself, as his girlfriend. She only did it for Elena, there was no input in on Bonnie’s emotions and that’s the problem there!

s1-2 Bonnie is deemed annoying, and judgemental by all for her thoughts with vampires. Not only do fans ignore her trauma then… but I can’t stress enough how many times I’ve seen people claim they never liked Bonnie after how she stepped away from Caroline during her transition. Then argue that Bonnie never would’ve treated Elena the same. Bonnie gave Caroline a promise, and never had to fulfill that promise yet she certainly didn’t mind fulfilling what she told to Caroline to Elena AFTER Elena attacked her first. It was not expression then, Bonnie said she knew what she was doing. She referred to Elena then as a shell of her bestfriend meaning she didn’t see her as Elena anymore.

This goes back into s3 and how heavily the plot goes to push the idea that Bonnie’s life and or feelings is always secondary to everyone else. We get a line about how she’s always the one hurt but never an emotional moment from Bonnie herself. Tbfh, Bonnie should’ve stepped back in s3 then but carrying on. Anyways having Bonnie step away and letting others actually apologize or try to fix things with her would’ve been great.

The only reason people are so quick to attack Bonnie fans for saying she should’ve stepped away or Elena/Damon/Stefan/Caroline whomever should’ve apologized or worked for her forgiveness, treated her the same…is because a lot of you don’t want to picture Bonnie in a space where she is not benefiting everyone else. It’s suddenly OOC for you to fathom that maybe other people should treat Bonnie with the same respect. I love Bonnie’s loyalty and protectiveness over her friends, but she deserves the same.

Seeing how Elena could’ve made her own amends would’ve been much better than a quick apology.

FOUR MASTERLISTS BELOW. 👏🏾READ 👏🏾THEM

Two are about TVD, one is about chemistry in shows in general, the other is about miscellaneous TV shows.

Pro-tip. You can search tags: zalrb.tumblr.com/tagged/_____so if you want to see posts about stelena or bonkai or bangel etc in particular episode like 3x05 just type: zalrb.tumblr.com/tagged/stelena 3x05 etc. etc. just put the ship name before the episode number.

Stelena et al. Masterlist

I’ve been getting a lot of asks recently about my opinions on things I’ve spoken about before at great length, usually anons asking me to respond to what DErs have said. It’s fine, I’m flattered, but I’m going to post this masterlist and will ask you all to refer to the list before sending certain asks like, what do you say to DErs who say Stefan doesn’t challenge Elena, what do you to say to DErs who say Stelena is abusive etc., it’s all in this list. There are also posts on Stefan, Damon and Elena as individual characters and posts on friendship dynamics and how TVD deals with vampirism. I will be happy to do any follow-ups or discuss if my views from a particular post has changed (which is bound to happen at times, people’s opinions change or evolve). Please reblog so it can circulate.

Chemistry Masterlist

A good chunk of my posts about chemistry such as, which ships I think have chemistry, which ships I think don’t, what platonic chemistry looks like, how to observe romantic chemistry etc. can be found in this list. Please reblog so it can circulate.

Bonnie Bennett et al. Masterlist

This is a masterlist of all my noteworthy Bonnie Bennett posts --- about her antiblack treatment (if you feel the urge to ask me ‘why did the writers have Bonnie’ the answer is antiblack racism, read the posts in the list), about why I ship Bonkai, about why I don’t ship Bamon and why I don’t ship Bonenzo, what I think of Beremy, what I think of Stefonnie, it’s all here. Please reblog so it can circulate.

General TV Masterlist

(a semi-regularly updated list of my OTPs)

To see the links, you must view on the app:

There are posts about various shows including Merlin (Merthur posts mostly), The Borgias (Cesare and Lucrezia), Game of Thrones (Sansa Stark Defense Squad, Jonsa, Anti-Daenerys, Anti-Jonerys and general GoT stuff), The Handmaid’s Tale, Gossip Girl (Dair and anti-Chair, plus other posts), Teen Wolf, The OC, Star Trek Disco, FRIENDS (everyone is trash not just Ross), The Office (pro Pam and Jim FYI), Parks and Rec, and Kdramas in this masterlist as well as posts like “favourite quotes from OTPs” “favourite comedic roasts” etc.

These lists will all be updated regularly to semi-regularly.

people be like “i hate beremy!!!” and then ship bonnie with people that either hurt her and her loved ones, violently threatened her on numerous occasions, put her in a horrible position purposely knowing it would give her PTSD, or all of the above

I think its weird how no humanity Elena kept trying to kill Bonnie. IF she really just wanted to prevent her from resurrecting Jeremy, it would have made more sense to turn her. Especially with what she knew about sire bonds. With the way Bonnie was always dying for Elena, she must have suspected that she loved her. If she tried for a sire bond with Bonnie, Bonnie could have teamed up with Katherine to break it in a similar way as the hybrids, by using her likeness and getting closer to Kat.

Hey anon,

Sigh after sigh with this storyline. This show was such a train wreck. Literally nothing about Elena's no humanity story line made sense at all. It was weak and poorly written and all it did was confirm what we were all saying for years. Elena acted pretty much the same with or without humanity, the only different was in her being violent and people maybe being somewhat allowed to call her on it. Also, don't even get me started on the whole Elena trying to kill Bonnie thing and calling Bonnie a reminder of everything she suffered like....girl....really because.....seriously...

Also, just, Bonnie could have killed Elena without using expression so let that be known as well.

Anyway, to your ask, I feel like your scenario would have been way more interesting because I have said many times before the only excuse that would have made sense to me for Bonnie to go as hard for Elena as she did was for Bonnie to have been in love with her. Though, even that thought just irks me because it would still never be reciprocated. Bringing Katherine in would have been fun because she and Bonnie never got enough screen time together. But my main issues with this are a) Bonnie and Abby would have lost their powers for Elena's sake and it would have just pissed me off, so the only way I would allow this is if Bonnie was able to keep her powers after being turned and Elena thought her plan was for nothing until she realizes Bonnie is sired to her but then that leads to point b) Bonnie was already literally portrayed as Elena's magical negro slave and I can't get behind having that literally play out onscreen (though now that I say it, I am surprised it didn't play out that way considering these writers), so I wouldn't be behind this unless it led to the epiphany of Bonnie realizing the master/slave dynamic they always had and working with Katherine to free herself and it could only end in Bonnie either killing Elena or Elena groveling to all hell once she's back to "herself" (the comedy!) and Bonnie walking away from her anyway.

Belena never existed outside of a one sided relationship that lead to Bonnie's literal suffering and death again and again and so unless this storyline would have been a call out that had led to a very permanent split of Bonnie from anything Elena related and to Elena being portrayed as the villain that she is even with humanity I wouldn't want it. Also, with Bonnie gaining self-respect and self-preservation skills. Because Jeremy was never worth bringing back from the dead and Elena was never worth dying for.
