The Bamon fanbase was MASSIVE when the show aired live. It was one of the only ships that had an existing fanbase BEFORE the show was even created (because of the book series). So there was a chunk of the fandom that watched this entire show waiting for Bamon and never got it. I think people say NOW how much they like Bamon as platonic and just friends, but that’s after the show is completed and they just had a strong friendship. Before the show was over and people didn’t know who the endgame ships would be, Bamon was easily one of the most popular ships. It kills me how people can’t see them now as being anything other than platonic. As one of the original fandom girls, we all saw it!! Lol
i agree, i agree, I AGREE!! while damon and bonnie relationship would break the girl code of her and elena's friendship i think just this once it would've been allowed. bonnie had chemistry with EVERYONE, they just hated her and that's why we never had nice things
Tbh I'm gonna have to disagree. I love Bonnie don't get me wrong but I sort of didn't see her with any guy in the show as a love interest. I always sort of head cannoned Bonnie as gay and her having a girlfriend and not a boyfriend (sort of like Freya) That plus I hate Damon with a burning passion because of what happened with Caroline. Bonnie deserves so much better than Damon is the point I'm trying to make
In my opinion, Delena was just gross. He literally stole her from his younger brother. Their relationship just came off as an obsessive predator and a confused little girl. It did nothing for both characters. Damon started selfish and stayed selfish because he wanted Elena no matter what and just could not let his brother and her be happy in peace. Elena didn't grow with Damon. Even after her relationship with Stefan ended, she became worse with Damon. She literally gave up all her values and character development and became a worse version of herself just to be with Damon. I started off as a huge Damon fan and my liking of the character diminished in later seasons because of the annoying obsession he had with Elena. I would have preferred if they did become a thing only to realize that they were not good for each other, that would have been a mature development for both of them. Bamon on the other hand was just so natural. They were frenemies at first and grew to love each other to the point that he chose her over Elena. They just always worked well together, as early as season 2. If the show had competent writers that were not blinded by a little racism, they would have realized that Bonnie made Damon grow as a character. She always challenged him and brought the best out of him. Their scenes were always soaked in chemistry. It would have been the best character development arc for Damon to finally get over his obsession with the Petrovas and fall for a real mature woman. Bonnie didn't always hate Damon like Caroline but she didn't also blindly forgive him like Elena in later seasons. She demanded a lot from him and made him rise to her level. Its a shame that Julie and company couldn't see that.
Oh you ATE on Delena. I really only like them at face value. Their background as a whole is quite strange when you put it that way, so I agree with you! 😭
@@romieonfilm I'm actually a fan of early Delena, as a forbidden love. Including, the sire bond storyline because it was a believable way to explain Elena's complete shift in feelings from Stefan to Damon. Season 5 and onwards is where they lose me. It should have been forbidden to let's try it to nope we don't bring the best out of each other so let's move on.
As i said before i disagree. I absolutely love the Bamon friandship and putting them together would just ruin it the same way the Steroline friendship was ruined when it started going the romantic way. Delena, Benzo, Klaroline, and whatever the ship name for Stefan and Valerie is what I prefer.
Benzo was so rushed, it just never felt earned. Steroline came out of the blue because they were EXTREMELY close friends. Bamon were frenemies to friends, which is why I always felt a potential romantic chemistry between them. Plus, they worked so well together. Klaroline and Delena were just wrong for MULTIPLE reasons lol. They were always better as a forbidden love in my opinion.
@@samnabawy2731 To each their own. I personally thought the Benzo relationship was one of the few things made more interesting when they started jumping back and forth in time. It was cool to suddenly see them together and then get the build up afterwards. As far as Delena and Klaroline, my only excuse is chemistry.
Agree I don't see any romantic chemistry between bamon. Damon only loved katherine and elena in a romantic way. Rose and bonnie are more like platonic friendship. I only shipped delena bc they have actual romantic chemistry. He told Elena multiple times he can't be his friend or refused to friendzoned
Damon and Elena are cute but I think Damon and Bonnie would make sense as a couple more. Bonnie hated Damon at the beginning but when they became friends I think people saw chemistry between them and I did to. I prefer them together over Delena.
I think what I struggle to understand is did people really want to see them together as a couple? OR did people really just want to see them have sex? (like how Caroline did with Klaus) Those are two different things. Then what I struggle to imagine is what romantic thing or gesture could anyone see Damon doing for Bonnie. If people really want to see them as a couple, paint a romantic scene for me, because I can't see it.
On the contrary, I genuinely think for once people would’ve liked to see Damon date someone he liked for MORE than just his attraction to them. With Bonnie he respected her and grew to appreciate and love her.
They definitely could have been a wild interesting dark couple if they actually put any effort into bonnie character i have a hard time believing bonnie being in a prison world with two hot guys and no love triangle happened
I feel like the fans could write a better plot for bonkai 😭 also I can kinda see bamon but I think they’re better as friends (plus Damon dated both of her friends)
@samnabawy2731 and that attitude is why bonnie had a non-existent love life they all was villains even bonnie had her dark side so to say kai was the only evil man on this show is ridiculous we all have different opinions and that's fine but kai wasn't the worst thing to happen to bonnie that would be julie plec and co writing her
No it would ruined bamon friendship. Also in S7 damon hesitate to save bonnie's life so he can have elena. He tried to kill her, turned her mother into vampire, he is the reason her grams died tried to opening the tomb, used bonnie many times to save elena's life. Damon is my fav character in tvdu but bonnie deserves better than damon lol
AND SPEAKING OF CHEMISTRY - elena and elijah are a better pair than delena!! if the writers just explored their relationship they would've been unstoppable. while i agree doppelganger hopping ain't good😭😭 we can make an exception for them. elijah can actually see elena for who she is and elena wouldn't have to deal with the salvatore drama all the time and can actually develop into a great character
yet damon is over 100 years old and he died canonically in his 20's and elena is literally in high school and he went after her but everyone is just chill with that?? so by that logic, damon should be also gross right?? just cuz damon is 'younger' than elijah and i agree while over 100 is better than over 1000, its still weird regardless. (if you also thing that damon and elena age gap thing is gross, then i apologize for this point but it still stands.) i just think that elijah and elena would be better cause elijah would have a partner that his brother didn't have any sexual or romantic for once and elena wouldn't have to deal with the salvatore drama since she really needs a break from that.
Don't listen to them, ship your ship my friend. You're a 100% correct, this show has so many toxic and questionable things that morally policing a non-canon pairing is ridiculous. I also think Elena and Elijah had chemistry (though I'm not a big fan of Elena), who cares about the age gap of fictional characters? Besides, didn't Elena go to collage at the end of season 4 or something? She's a grown adult, she can shack up with Elijah if she wants.

That sounds like proyection, Bonnie never showed interest in girls.

Agree agree agreee been a bamon shipper for so long
@@puppydoglove-b3o They apparently end up together in the books.

Except Caroline always liked Stefan since the begining, not Klaus, not Damon, not even tyler, it was Stefan.

I love your vampire diaries videos ❤
Thank youuu! 😚
Could You Please Make A Video On Kai Parker?
And I Know This Is Gonna Sound Crazy, But I Shipped Kai And Bonnie
Yes. To EVERYTHING. Klaus and Caroline should’ve happened too 😭
IDC, I LOVE BAMON AND IT SHOULD'VE BEEN EXPLORED! I SHIPPED THEM SOOOO MUCH😔😔 TBH, I WISHED THEY ENDED UP TOGETHER😍
BIGGEST MISS ALONG WITH KLAROLINE 💔😭
8:59-9:01 👏🏽👏🏽
Love this take, Bonnie was so disrespected :(
I tried to keep it together cause WHEW! 😂
I think what I struggle to understand is did people really want to see them together as a couple? OR did people really just want to see them have sex? (like how Caroline did with Klaus) Those are two different things. Then what I struggle to imagine is what romantic thing or gesture could anyone see Damon doing for Bonnie.

On the contrary, I genuinely think for once people would’ve liked to see Damon date someone he liked for MORE than just his attraction to them. With Bonnie he respected her and grew to appreciate and love her.
Damon never showed to be phisically attracted to Bonnie like he did with Elena or Rose so there is that.
Bonkai?
👀
They definitely could have been a wild interesting dark couple if they actually put any effort into bonnie character i have a hard time believing bonnie being in a prison world with two hot guys and no love triangle happened
I feel like the fans could write a better plot for bonkai 😭 also I can kinda see bamon but I think they’re better as friends (plus Damon dated both of her friends)
I'm glad he kept his psycho hands off of Bonnie. She deserves the world, not a psycho.
@samnabawy2731 and that attitude is why bonnie had a non-existent love life they all was villains even bonnie had her dark side so to say kai was the only evil man on this show is ridiculous we all have different opinions and that's fine but kai wasn't the worst thing to happen to bonnie that would be julie plec and co writing her
10:16-10:21 I 1000% AGREE🙌🏽🙌🏽
No it would ruined bamon friendship. Also in S7 damon hesitate to save bonnie's life so he can have elena.

8:37-8:44 YASSS I WOULD'VE😍😍
8:00-8:03 YASSS THEY WERE💘💘
4:59-5:02 PERIODT👏🏽👏🏽
7:32-7:34 IK🥺🥺🥺😭😍
AND SPEAKING OF CHEMISTRY - elena and elijah are a better pair than delena!! if the writers just explored their relationship they would've been unstoppable. while i agree doppelganger hopping ain't good😭😭 we can make an exception for them. elijah can actually see elena for who she is and elena wouldn't have to deal with the salvatore drama all the time and can actually develop into a great character
Um excuse me he is 1000 years old and she is 17 that's gross and weird
yet damon is over 100 years old and he died canonically in his 20's and elena is literally in high school and he went after her but everyone is just chill with that?? so by that logic, damon should be also gross right?? just cuz damon is 'younger' than elijah and i agree while over 100 is better than over 1000, its still weird regardless.

Hell no, i dont wanna see Elijah taking Stefan and Damon's role of saving Elena's useless ass over and over again
Also, Hayley>>>
