Enzo

Here’s the thing, Enzo is clearly the underdog, and Ilike underdogs. When he tells Bonnie that he waited all his life for someone to care about him the way she did that should have incited something in me, at the very least pity. BUT none of his trauma or pity worthy events in his life can take away from the fact that he is completely useless which is why I don’t give a fuck about him. Most underdogs have at least one redeemable quality that makes them important to the plot, or in Bonnie’s case ALL of the qualities since she was the most important character, but I can’t think of one reason for Enzo. He was there to sit pretty and shut up.

“It’s really telling what people decide to focus on.” Right though. Like season 6 was the perfect opportunity for Kat to be the female lead. Because a) Nina had left b) Candice was pregnant c) Bonnie had been the most relevance from the books and d) Bonnie was the only one who was actively pushing the plot since season 1 yet none of those fans were trying to give Bonnie the justice she deserved the way they were when she was cast as black.

Season 7, but yeah. Here’s the thing Plec knew this which is why she kept teasing it, baiting Bonnie fans with more focus, a better love interest, pretty much everything we had been complaining about and delivered on nothing. The best she did was Enzo and absolutely no effort was put into that. They had a whole season to develop them and not only didn’t but had to have a flashback episode that essentially explained fuck-all and then wanted us to think he was the end all be all and be congratulated on this “effort” by Bonnie fandms. Of she didn’t because we see right through her everytime and it’s that Kat/Bonnie is just a box for her to check for diversity, she had no interest in telling her story in any sense.

noah fence but the mere concept of bon.enzo annoys me like ship what you want or whatever but BE is literally the epitome of everything that was wrong with how the show treated bonnie. enzo had first been pining after lily salvatore and when she rejected him only then had bonnie suddenly become an option. i remember reading in a meta once that enzo was only ever what the writers needed him to be. he had no personality. he was the antagonist when they needed, and the love interest when they wanted. and after season six when the bamon hype got too much to bear, they stuck enzo with bonnie as a consolation prize and developed them through a series of flashbacks, clearly taking notes and beats from bamon (i.e. stuck in the same place isolated from others. bickering. having little insiders like “terrible guitar player.”) in this essay i will

One correction that makes it worse (at least to me). He doesn’t first pine over Lily, no, he first pines over Caroline. It’s what sparks that entire useless plotline he has in season 6 with Sarah Salavatore.

So not only does he have the taint of Bonnie being his second choice, but he has the taint of choosing one of the “right” girls first, and it Caroline of all people, the character they usually throw Bonnie’s potential LI’s at to thwart her ships (if they aren’t killed.)

I don’t know if you’re referring to one of my posts but I have spoke on the fact that Enzo isn’t a character, at least not a full one. He’s pieces of characters that they hoped would make on full character, and then threw at Bonnie so he could finally be a character relevant the plot (which is kinda what they did with her and Jeremy because let’s face it, after Anna dies his role in season 2 isn’t really all that significant). 

Because I don’t really feel like repeating things here is where I talk about why Enzo exists and here are just some additional thoughts on the fact that Benzo was never really meant for Bonnie fans to begin with. Essentially Bonezo was Julie’s way of thinking she did a job well done.

some day, before i die, i would like to genuinely sit down in a room with plec and ask her why the fuck she thought it might be a good idea to make Bonenzo happen almost as a bonnie consolation prize, and then TAKE THE CONSOLOATION PRIZE AWAY to make her fucking suffer at the end of the series, yet show the people who inadvertently caused her to suffer have a good ending. was it to torture bonnie fans? was it to put bonnie in her place because she was so hated by the writers that it would be funny to them? i genuinely don’t get it, like.. the LEAST they could have done was NOT that

It’s because Bonenzo was genuinely never for Bonnie fans, it was for the threatened Delena fans who disliked her baiting Bamon but for different reasons than Bonnie fans hated it. See we knew it was baiting, past experience has taught us well, but they didn’t because for the first time in their existence entitled D/E fans had to deal with their ship not being catered to and as usual Plec had to do something about it lest they turn on her.

Think about the people who mostly attached to B/E? I noticed that a lot of D/E fans were the main supporters and why wouldn’t they? Think about how a lot of B/E plays out? Especially season 8 when Bonnie is the most OOC she’s ever been to the point that she’s literally Elena 2.0, but the season 6 hallucinating one who can’t function without her man. You think that was romantic for us? No, but there’s a faction in the fandom that would sure thinks it was. They got to watch their ship play out while their main one was on hiatus, what’s not to love about that?

Bonnie fans tried to like it for a minute, but when absolutely no effort was put into building we saw it for what it truly was, a consolation prize, except we were wrong about it being ours and we honestly should have known better because when does she ever do anything for us? Even when she’s forced to have Bonnie as the lead because we’re her last resort she doesn’t, she makes Caroline the lead.

Plec does not like Bonnie nor does she like her fans, so the reason why Bonenzo gets ripped away is because Bamon was no longer a threat to Delena, so it simply didn’t matter what happened to them for her. Bonenzo was never for us, it was always disposable for her because Bonnie was always disposable for her and that never changed over 8 seasons.

do-you-think-im-spoopy:

It’s 2018, does anybody really think that tvd would have made so much more sense if Elena had a. Died or b. Turned human and gone off to start a new life alone.

Because the Elena who loved Stefan died in season 3 and the Elena that she became with Damon was so weak and selfish that it wasn’t the real her that we knew from the beginning.

So obviously Bonnie is strong enough to stand up for herself and everyone else to Damon. She also brings out the best in him, as the show told us and showed us repeatedly. Had they not ignored this relationship, Damon had a chance at an ACTUAL redemption instead of a cheap and useless one. And this ship made so much sense. What was the point of the look on Damon’s face when Elena said about Bonnie, “but to you she’s something else, isn’t she? ” if nothing was meant to come of this relationship? Wasted potential out the wazoo.

Don’t get me wrong, I liked Bonenzo. It was very cute and sweet, but they had to completely change Enzo’s character to make it happen and it was ultimately all a tool to torture Stefan and Bonnie some more.

If Stefan was going to die then Damon should have died as well. No one in their right mind can honestly say that Stefan deserved death more than Damon. They both did, if anything. If they both died, all the girls could have gone back to being actual best friends and started the lives they were going to have before Stefan and Damon came into their lives.

Caroline never should have raised Alaric’s girls. They never should have gone that route with the storyline. It’s gross and weird. Now the girls are cute and I know Caroline loves them as her own. But those were Jo and Alaric’s girls and he should never have treated Caroline like their mom and he never the hell should have fallen in love with her!

The Valerie storyline was pointless even though I actually like her. I don’t believe for a second that my innocent little 17 yo human Stefan would go off in the woods and have sex with a random girl he just meet in the 1860s! It’s just stupid and weird and needless drama. Just to dangle the child he could never have in front of his face.

Steroline made perfect sense from the beginning. She had a crush on the hot new guy. He saves her vampire life. They become best friends. They become more. They make each other happy. I honestly would have been okay with them stretching out the getting together phase for much longer instead of all the dumbass breaking up and getting back together. Even though they got married, the terrible plotlines still left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why did Tyler die alone in a car trunk? Why was no one mad at Damon for killing their childhood friend?

Why was Forwood disrespected the way it was?

Did Damon and Elena die at the exact same time? Why were they walking together into the afterlife? Remember that time they burned to death in a car? That was nice.

Okay, I’m just rambling now but y’all know what I’m saying. It was a disaster.

I’ve said it before, but Elena should have died in season 6, hell I would have been fine with her dying in season 3 because by the end of that season and on she has no function in the plot unless you count love interest which I don’t because there needs to be more to a character. There isn’t more to Elena. There are only two things that gave her function: doppelganger, and love triangle. Everything having to do with the doppelganger and why they’re special dies after season 3, as does the love triangle that wore on people’s patience by that point. It became a lot less “chose X because they’re perfect for you” and more “chose someone so I don’t have to listen to you whine about it more”, in fact we were done with Stefan and Damon’s whining as well over the “grand prize”. But I digress.

Anyway in the long run I felt that Elena hindered the show. They kept having to recycle plots to keep her relevant, and the only way to rectify that was to kill her off. She was too important to be a character that lingers on, that’s why season 7 and 8 suck, because they couldn’t let go of the golden girl who they really should have let go of a long time ago.

Bonnie and Bamon, if the network and writers weren’t racist that would have happened season 1, and then maybe Damon’s story line that season would make sense because why the fuck was he wasting his time with Caroline when Bonnie was who he needed to get the the tomb open? The story line that forever marrs the show and marrs Damon was completely unnecessary and only happened because the network request they not go the Bamon route, which in turn ruined their show in the process so at least there’s that for compensation. 

And Bonenzo, we all know damn well ain’t nobody was asking for that. It only exists to placate threatened Delena fans because Bonnie was getting to close to Damon for their liking. Y’all thought Plec was throwing Bonnie fans a bone? We should have known better, she don’t do nothing for us, she just services her DEer’s. Why do you think it’s thrown away the moment she knew Elena would be coming back. But again I digress because we ain’t got time for that rant.

For me Forwood dies around 4×06 and not even because of Klaroline which had a big part in screwing Tyler and Forwood over. Steroline is what ruins them in the end when Caroline first betrays his trust by tell Stefan about the other unsired hybrids, and then proceeds to get one of them killed due to this. And what truly kills it is Caroline’s inability to be self aware. She doesn’t understand what she did wrong, she doesn’t even understand why Tyler’s so upset and that actually continues for their remaining relationship–she just doesn’t understand Tyler. So the fact that they break up is the most natural progression for them unfortunately that’s not what breaks them up. It’s made out to be Tyler’s fault and pretty much all to make sure Caroline still be “innocent” because apparently the only way to do that is to villainize Tyler which has so many historical contexts it’s almost impossible to believe that Plec is this ignorant.

“If Stefan was going to die then Damon should have died as well.”

That’s pretty much how I felt because in comparison to Damon Stefan is better, but is he better overall, no and having just Stefan doesn’t get that across. What it got across was Stefan dies for a ship whether you believe that to be SE or DE is up to you, but he still dies for the most superficial reason and his death needed to be more important. Plus added with the fact that Damon has no function as well as a human, like there is no real happy ending or redemption for him, not having him die (and I’m not counting that BS one at the end because there impact to it) just stunts the storytelling (which shouldn’t be new to any of us reference my comments about season 1). 

And Steroline? That should have worked, but they did what I like to call instalove them, and not only that they instaloved a friends to lovers romance which if Plec wasn’t an idiot she’d know that one negates the other, and as proven by the show it turns into a train wreck that made no sense. I honestly would have rathered the Calaric stuff because at least that made sense, however if the show had been written properly that never would have been a situation to come up because a) it was already a plot hole, and b) if Kai had been written in character in 6×22 he wouldn’t have done what he did at the wedding. But again I digres because this reply has already gone on too long. I think it’s longer than your original post.

Confession #3

• Bonnie & Enzo deserved so much more they didn’t get to grow there relationship further and literally just killed him off, Enzo and Bonnie were such great characters and needed more time together. I’m still mad that they could brought every character back to life but couldn’t bring Enzo back so he could be happy with Bon bon 🤔

• Agreed or Disagree?
– Confessions are OPEN.
Send your confessions!

Both agree and disagree. 

Agree because yes, Bonnie deserved better than to have another underdeveloped romance with another guy who she’s their last resort, only to still lose him so she can go back to being Mystic Falls personal magic negro.

I disagree because a) they don’t have chemistry and b) it’s a ship that soley exists to placate threaten Delena fans, so I’d opt for there never being any B/E at all. It’s not like it’s a missed opportunity.

Benz0 is just so awkward

September 21, 2017 — Leave a comment

So I’m in the middle of making a survey regarding Bonnie (I’ll post it here when I’m finally finished with it) and one of the questions involves her ships and I can add images/gifs to it. I don’t personally like Benz0 but I’m trying make it as unbiased as possible. So while I’m

in the middle of

trying  to find some gifs of them (and by that I mean I’m just typing in things to google image search) that becomes a harder task than I thought for a canon ship because every single one of them looks so awkward. The only ones that don’t look awkward only involve one of them in the frame (and I wanted both in the frame at once).

I mean look at this:

image
image

They both look so awkward and it’s not even because the gif is cut a little short, that is what they’re small “intimate” moments look like. What are they doing with their arms and hands and just everything? It just all looks so awkward.

image

There he looks like he’s mauling her face and not even in the sexy, urgent, I must have you now kind of way. This was supposed to look sweet.

image

That’s the only “good” one I could find and I use that lightly because it still looks awkward in the way they just press their lips together and don’t move. 

image

Like I said the only good ones are when one of them is in the frame.

Conclusion: What I already knew, Benz0 sucks. :/

But on the bright side I found this weird gem of Tyler and Bonnie:

Look Closer

I knew he was like an asshole back then but I never noticed him openly checking out Bonnie which sadly makes him the only person in season one to genuinely check her out and find her desirable.
