Defense of original Book Bamon 팬 who also ship Show Bamon
Kay, so I wrote this out of extreme annoyance at a certain fanbase who claims that some of us only ship show Bamon because of the dynamic of Bamon in the 책 (which is completely not true).
Since I am a 팬 who loved Book Bamon before the show even aired, I thought I could give my take on it.
So, three years 이전 when, when I was twelve, I read the VD book series. I was just getting over a “Twilight” phase (now before 당신 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 책 and began to read.
I was a Stelena 팬 in the 책 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 사랑 only grew for them 더 많이 when I read Nightfall (which I believe, was the last book to come out before the show aired).
Two years later, when I heard there was going to be a 텔레비전 show, I quickly became excited. I couldn’t wait to see one of my 가장 좋아하는 book series become a show 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 show I watched, so I wasn’t aware of how much they change things when they adapt 책 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 show at first, AT ALL.
The only thing that kept me watching was my sister, who hadn’t read the 책 and was intrigued 의해 the idea of the show its self.
I cooled down a bit, and decided to give the show a chance, completely erasing the hope of it similar to the 책 from my mind.
And I began to 사랑 the show as a whole, book series aside. But like book Damon, I wasn’t sure who I wanted show 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 사랑 with book Bamon, I didn’t ship show Bamon at all at first.
That was, until I saw the episode “History Repeating”. After that, the idea of Bamon in the show intrigued me, as did Kat and Ian’s chemistry.
So I got on trusty Fanfiction.net, and read some amazing show Bamon fanfiction and bam! Just like I had with book Bamon, I instantly fell in 사랑 with the idea of show 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 사랑 show Bamon for totally different reasons (even though I do sometimes find similarities between the two).
I ship show Bamon FOR what they are, show Bamon, NOT because I read the 책 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…
