I can’t believe it. We’re actually all here.
Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you’re burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.

#yes #because she will probably die alone #after a battle and everyone has gone home to their loved ones #but there’s no one home for bonnie
#tags glorious tags #seriously these tags and this gifset and this song i’m seriously starting to believe there’s a conspiracy out to get me here #elena’s true knight in shining armor (tm: enexcelsis) #(and it’s a thankless job; quite literally) #bonnie’s narrative is actually the cruelest and most unforgiving of heroic origin stories #she’s nature’s blood and bone terminator; the last of a bloodline; a corrupted warrior angel #a morally grey female protagonist working within nature’s amoral ruthless system of balance #availed of so much power; but nature is so *petty* in its vindictiveness and punishes her with it #leaves her frail and trembling and silently crying at her mother’s deathbed #leaves her depressed and nearly catatonic in her grief; takes grams away from her t w i c e #(failure bonnie. not enough for anybody (not even her own mother and father) bonnie. #can’t save anybody bonnie. what good am i if not for my magic bonnie.) #not funny enough; not pretty enough; not special enough; not important enough #ugh my brittle broken vicious buffy-esque comic book hero and the safeguarded flayed fortress that is her heart #(maybe it’s easier to just not let anyone in) #(do you think i chose to be like this? do you have any idea how lonely it is how dangerous?) #oh darling heart ):#bonnie bennett #perfect characters stuck in awful media #vampire diaries

#slayed #bonnie/buffy parallels #but i read her more as a cordelia tbh #bonnie’s not the title character and she doesn’t get the boys #she’s the heart #she’s the mission #her body is theirs to use #to abuse #and she does it gladly because who else is able? #i know who i am now #there are no people like me #not in mystic falls dear #in my anger i want her to burn it all down #but that’s not bonnie#her life for the town? #is it even a choice? #let’s go be heroes #and now i’m experiencing bonnie/usagi thoughts #BECAUSE IT ENDS WITH ME #there’s no one else #but back to cordelia #she’s the first soldier down and down and down she’s barely upright #a girl who’s life was full of fun and merry has been reduced to saving lives #i don’t believe she wants others to suffer as she has #there will come a time you’ll see #with no more tears #and love will not break your heart #this is the perfect bonnie song
