Bamon Hug

To be really honest, I am not a shipper. I still am. I don’t really care if Shinae ends up with Kousuke or Yeonggi or Dieter or even alone.

But this chapter made me leaning to Yeonggi, although I couldn’t say I ship them yet.

About Kousuke. What. Is. GOING ON WITH HIM? Seriously I can’t bear his actions these chapters! I know he doesn’t have good relationship with Yeonggi, but?! Can’t he see his face? His expression?? Even if he wanted Shinae to collect herself he didn’t have ANY right to say that Yeonggi wasn’t needed for Shinae especially after he heard himself Shinae called for Nol. I liked Kousuke, but I’m sorry if he didn’t change his behaviour I’ll change my mind.

The best part is how Yeonggi and Shinae had their heart-to-heart moment, whether as friends or not. I prefer as friends as Yeonggi is still dating Alyssa (I know I said I’m leaning on Yeonggi, but I still prefer to not ship anyone, plus we’ve seen enough of blushing Shinae everytime she’s with Kousuke).

This review was on point and so pro-Bamon. One episode and everyone talks about #Bamon that’s this ship effect on people.

THAT’S BAMON POWER !!!

7x15//8x10

“Because you, Bonnie Bennett  are an amazing woman  a mediocre crossword puzzle player  and my best friend

“I’d rather let you down once then let you down for the rest of your life.”

When has he ever said this to Elena? Not to mention he told Bonnie all he wanted was for her (Bonnie) to be happy. And notice Damon said he doesn’t want to let Bonnie down for the rest of her life, just once yet he didn’t include Elena in that.

Damon’s redemption arc is all because of Bonnie. He loves her so much.

She used the locator spell with Grams to find Damon, so it took her to the cemetery/crypt where we know he was because that’s where Stefan found him later. But remember Damon was hiding in there, “dead”… his subconscious was trying to force a world into existence where he didn’t exist, but here’s Bonnie, seeking him out.

So I think his subconscious took on the form of Tyler, the person whose death supposedly no one was going to forgive him for. But, and not for the first time, Bonnie will surprise him by seeing through him.

Because she’s seen this song and dance before. Back at the Grill, Caroline is confused by the fact that Damon’s subconscious would create this world where all of the sources of his guilt like Vicki are there to haunt him, indefinitely. But Bonnie saw him in 1994, making those pancakes every. single. morning.

She knows that once again this is the evidence of his remorse, his infant attempts at repentance. And as always, she reminds him that that remorse means there’s hope for him. She tells “Tyler” that Damon may spend the rest of his life atoning for the things he’s done, but she believes he can do it. And that she knows it’s scary, but he just needs to believe he can do it too.

And that’s exactly what Damon needs to hear in that moment (note how he tells Stefan later that he doesn’t need Stefan’s forgiveness, “Bonnie helped me work through my issues”). All that he needs after that is to square away the loose ends with his brother, ie. the resentment that he still clings to after all these years. He still blames his brother for the monster he became, and that’s a part of why he so often has found himself powerless to change that monstrosity he sees within himself.

Bonnie immediately senses that as well in the crypt, snapping herself out of the trance to get Stefan there to make that happen.

Goodness that raw Bamon emotion I swear!!!!!

I’ve been reading all these Bamon posts comparing dullnea some of it positive, some of it negative, some even kind of neutral…

And a lot of people stating that neither Bonnie nor Damon has ever had as much chemistry with anyone else in any other scenes. #Hellatrue #Ifullyagree.

And the overall theme of this episode to me even though Bonnie said only Stefan could pull him out, only Bonnie would ever be the one to understand what exactly Damon needed because they are very much (to quote Ian himself) cut from the same cloth

And to me besides Kat & Ian’s amazing chemistry and acting together… I think that’s why their scenes are BETTER. Because when Damon was reciting that letter to Bonnie, hell when he was writing it; it came from a very deep place.

That’s why I think it was more emotional & more loving than Damon’s, ‘I’ll become human, to be your husband, father your children, and live the rest of our lives together!’ speech to Elena… Because even though that might be something Damon can imagine wanting, I think it (like always) is more for Elena’s benefit than even Damon’s.

Whereas any speech Damon has made to Bonnie it’s so much more genuine I think because it comes from a place inside Damon that relates to Bonnie in that last fragile hidden place in their hearts that they’ve continuously had to have due to their lives and experiences.

Bamon has always been so vulnerable to each other because of how exposed they are to one another, the way they read each other, it’s visually spoken with their body language (I think especially in this beautiful 8x10 scene) what a relief it is to find someone who finally just gets them.

One person had this text post: ‘Bonnie/Damon are the best friends in the RomCom that date other people or maybe even marry other people, only to realize that they are soulmates.’
