Defense of original Book Bamon 粉丝 who also ship 显示 Bamon
Kay, so I wrote this out of extreme annoyance at a certain fanbase who claims that some of us only ship 显示 Bamon because of the dynamic of Bamon in the 图书 (which is completely not true).
Since I am a 粉丝 who loved Book Bamon before the 显示 even aired, I thought I could give my take on it.
So, three years 以前 when, when I was twelve, I read the VD book series. I was just getting over a “Twilight” phase (now before 你 roll your eyes, I am not obsessed with it anymore. I still like it, but I know there are many other vampire fandoms that are better like VD, Anne Rice, Underworld, and ect.)
Anyway, I bought the 图书 and began to read.
I was a Stelena 粉丝 in the 图书 from the start (meaning I NEVER shipped Delena), but Damon’s character still interested me. I just hadn’t been sure who I wanted him with.
That was, until I read Dark Reunion. After that, Bamm! It was instant love, and Bamon became my OPT.
I wanted them together SO bad, and my 爱情 only grew for them 更多 when I read Nightfall (which I believe, was the last book to come out before the 显示 aired).
Two years later, when I heard there was going to be a 电视 show, I quickly became excited. I couldn’t wait to see one of my 最喜爱的 book series become a 显示 that I could watch on every Thursday.
So on the night the pilot episode was to air; I sat down and watched it with my mom and sister.
And….I was disappointed, a little angry even. At the time, I had been expecting and hoping for it to be like the book series, so I could see the characters come to life.
VD was the first CW 显示 I watched, so I wasn’t aware of how much they change things when they adapt 图书 into shows (from what I heard, “Gossip Girl” was originally a book series, and they changed that greatly too).
So to put it short, I didn’t like the 显示 at first, AT ALL.
The only thing that kept me watching was my sister, who hadn’t read the 图书 and was intrigued 由 the idea of the 显示 its self.
I cooled down a bit, and decided to give the 显示 a chance, completely erasing the hope of it similar to the 图书 from my mind.
And I began to 爱情 the 显示 as a whole, book series aside. But like book Damon, I wasn’t sure who I wanted 显示 Damon with, since I figured Bonnie and Damon were NOTHING like the ones from the book series.
So yes, even though I was still completely in 爱情 with book Bamon, I didn’t ship 显示 Bamon at all at first.
That was, until I saw the episode “History Repeating”. After that, the idea of Bamon in the 显示 intrigued me, as did Kat and Ian’s chemistry.
So I got on trusty Fanfiction.net, and read some amazing 显示 Bamon fanfiction and bam! Just like I had with book Bamon, I instantly fell in 爱情 with the idea of 显示 Bamon.
The point I’m trying to make is, though I loved book Bamon long before I even knew there was going to be a show, I do 爱情 显示 Bamon for totally different reasons (even though I do sometimes find similarities between the two).
I ship 显示 Bamon FOR what they are, 显示 Bamon, NOT because I read the 图书 and already loved book Bamon. I know they are entirely two different things.
And I’m sure many others feel the same way I do…
