hey there everyone, must say I am really loving what you guys are doing for our two goofballs Damon Salvatore and Bonnie Bennett. Must say Im comparative new to the fanbase to get used to the word 'bamily', even though a year has passed since I fell in love with them. Personally, I wasnt a big fan of tvd. I was lowkey shipping delena, I didnt indulge myself much into the show. In fact I was anti bamon at first, I used to look at them and be like 'these two? no way!'. If I had to sum what I feel about them up in a few words then Id say Bamon did make tvd a better show. I always used to think how wonderful it wouldve been if some other girl came into Damon Salvatore's life within all the chaos caused by his obsession on Elena and changed his world upside down, how it wouldve been if someone actually made Damon a better person than be a person like him to adjust(this was before season 6). And the other person came by the name of Bonnie Bennett. Even in the days they were trapped in the prison world, she wouldnt stand up to Damon's crap, she was brave and tease him despite the fact that she doesnt have her powers and he is a volatile vampire. And he listens to her, thats a very interesting thing Ive noticed. Damon doesnt listen to most women that come to his life, even with Elena he had this long ridiculous fight about he saying he is bad and he wont change and Elena had to bend to his moral because obviously 'she loves him', personally I feel that is very sexist in nature. Damon values Bonnie and she makes him less of a homosidal maniac. I really have to give it up for the writing that led me to ship bamon. Despite all the bickering and bantering, they can also have the most meaningful relationship. Yes, Ian and Kat are another reason I ship them too, its because of how they love each other and the efforts they put into those particular scenes that I love bamon even more. So if I a person who used to dislike bamon and ship delena has now become a person who cant stop thinking about those two dorks, then just imagine how many people might come on board or over jump ships because of their more screen presense this season

Hi Faryal,
Aww, thank you so much. We all worked really hard to try and get everything ready so that we as bamon stans could have a place that was all our own. Sometimes tumblr can be a little crazy. So it nice to have a place were bamon fans can come and truly just gush about bamon with out all the trolls.
I can definitely relate you you about bamon. I always liked them but I was a de fan. For at least two season. However, it was the bamon fandom that really got me hooked and eventually I joined in on discussions online. I think that is one of the best things about our fandom. Everyone is so welcoming and even with the problomatic writing that sometimes happens. We can still enjoy are ship because the potential has always been there. So to see( after years) the writers using this ship and showing people what some of us has known all along. And for them to be open to it... it's really refreshing.
So welcome to the forum and the bamily, you're going to have a blast.

Welcome to not only the forum, but also our fandom.  I personally have never shipped Delena, but I can admit they did have some nice moments before they got together. I am so glad that the writers decided to make Bonnie and Damon's relationship more clear last season. For some of us who have loved this pairing we saw this all beneath the bickering so it's nice that last season allowed more people to see what we see. I get not liking TVD. I still have trouble with the problematic way women are treated on the show, yet according to dries it's a feminist show. Anyways, I am rambling! I am Julie by the way, or eternallybamon & @fierylittlefury on Twitter and thecuretohissoul on tumblr. I look forward to getting to know you more and hope you get enjoy meeting the rest of our fandom, or as we call them our family/bamily. -Julie |

So welcome to the forum and the bamily, you're going to have a blast. Talene I can easily say your work has been paid off really well, if I had to make a suggestion Id say to add more of the bamon articles in the article section. There has been alot of articles recently- like just jr, hollywood.com. et entertainment, alloys, tv line etc. Also another suggestion Id Like to give is to use this site as a motivation for fans to contribute things like fan art, edits, videos.. Your right tumblr is a little crazy, we cant post anything peacefully without getting interupted but I like the craziness over there too(you know what I mean). This forum is a great idea as we can share more secretive content over here and use tumblr to get the voices out loud. My only request would be to look things more at the bright side because you know 6seasons have been over already and Bonnie is getting a new li, so the fans would obviously be demotivated if we took things negatively. I really loved Nisha's recent meta it would be great if that was added over here. Anyway, it was great interacting with you guy and I love you. So excited to share more stuff with you. |
