2025-04-08 05:24:43 +0000 UTCSeriously, I love Caroline and Bonnie's friendship so much, it's a shame that they left their friendship so aside in this season.

2025-04-07 06:41:37 +0000 UTCMan I love the fact that Bonnie doesn't want to wake up so she doesn't kill her friends.

2025-04-07 06:41:21 +0000 UTCThis. Also, TVD has this incessant need to inject drama into every single relationship. Most of the appeal of Caroline & Stefan as a couple was in their “sweetness”. They had no drama, they got along and were best friends. Adding all the no humanity hijinks in s6 then her being mad at him this season because he *checks notes* left to protect her & her kids from a vampire hunter that was chasing him, just kinda killed the momentum.

2025-04-07 06:35:40 +0000 UTCSteroline was so good in the build up but at some point it just started feeling like two characters thrown together because that’s all that was left. As much as I love Klaroline it makes me kind of wish they didn’t implode her relationship with Tyler by having her sleep with Klaus. It just always felt like Caroline was a consolation prize to Stefan after losing Elena.

2025-04-07 06:24:32 +0000 UTCSo, I think there is a reason why Steroline felt "off" a lot in this season, I think it's how the writers tried to restructure the show with Elena gone. For 6 years, this show has been centered around Elena and the Salvatore brothers' love for her. Even the parts about there brotherhood never would have happened if she hadn't been there to bring them together. We've seen both of them more wrapped up in their romance storylines and it's what drove a lot of their decisions. Stefan turned his focus onto Caroline in season 6, while Damon was keeping his focus on Elena, and that allowed us to see how steroline could be just as important as stelena was. When Elena was around, the romance was what drove the show. Then Nina left and it couldn't be about that anymore. Damon was without his main love interest, so his story had to be more about his friendships and his brotherly bond with Stefan. I just remember the change in the promotion for season 6 vs previous seasons. It was all about Damon and Stefan and how that relationship was gonna fill the hole that Elena left. Then you look at the actual season and Steroline was clearly pushed back in favor of more screen time for the brothers. You don't get to see it as much, but the love Stefan has for Caroline is still there, as deep in his heart as it ever was. You just have to see it in things like how, yes, Damon was the reason he got the scar, but Caroline was why he ran. Also, he was on the run for 3 years with a woman he had a significant history with. They got together in that time and she was a really great person who would be easy to fall for. But when he finally got his life back, they both knew he didn't want to live it with her. He could have moved on, and maybe it would have been for the best after it looks like Caroline might have, but he couldn't. After 3 years, he said "I love you" with more certainty to his voice then I think we've ever heard him. So yeah, when it comes to screen time and loving stares, this season felt so off for them. Hell, there were a bunch of episodes where they barely even interacted, and half the time people can even forget they're dating. You're kinda left to take their word for it when they say they're in love, because of how the writers decided to change things up, we didn't actually get to see them be in love every often.

2025-04-07 05:19:36 +0000 UTCAnd as I said before, I agree, but not like Elena and Stefan, and that's okay, because Enzo is Bonnie's priority now, but she also loves Caroline and Damon. Another example is Caroline's daughters are her priorities, but she loves Bonnie and Stefan very much. You understand, I'm not saying that she doesn't love them, just that everyone has their own priorities now.
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:56:08 +0000 UTCAt the end of the day, Bonnie is important to damon. Yes, she’s not the love of his life, nor his brother, but I think their bond is very strong too. It’s one of the best parts about this season is their friendship. Everyone will always have a loved one be first, but best friends are essential too.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 03:52:14 +0000 UTCYes, I agree, I'm not saying he doesn't care, I just meant that as you said Elena and Stefan are his priorities, AND AGAIN THAT'S FINE, and yes their friendship is strong and he cares a lot about her.
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:43:13 +0000 UTCOf course because that’s the love of his life and his brother. They’re gonna come first but that does not mean he doesn’t value Bonnie just as much as she does. They will always be his most essential, but Bonnie is his best friend and she is valuable too. He did everything in his power to save her from death in both of these eps. It show that he cares so much for Bonnie and they have a strong friendship. Platonic relationships are just as important as familial and romantic ones too.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 03:40:13 +0000 UTCSorry for the long text, and one more thing I like Damon, but I always have to make it clear that me liking him doesn't make me not say the things I see he does wrong (which is not the case as I explained).
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:38:02 +0000 UTCMan, I wish this were true. I swear, I don't doubt that he loves her very much, but not like Elena. I'll give the example of human Elena. She would never make a choice between the Salvatores and Bonnie. Elena, the vampire, is a bit questionable, since she has shown several times that she prefers Damon over Bonnie for some things, not for life or death cases. In this case, she would choose both of them, but for other things, Damon. And again, it's okay. I don't judge Elena. Now, Damon will always prefer his girlfriend and his brother. And again, I don't judge him. She has his epic love and Stefan is his brother. So, as much as I love their friendship, Damon doesn't love her like he loves Elena and Stefan.
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:36:19 +0000 UTCYes, I agree.
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:28:36 +0000 UTCThat’s not true at all. They were trapped 4 months in the prison world together and had formed a deep bond with each other. He cares about Bonnie, just as much as Stefan and Elena. You can see how deeply he cares for her when he gave her that speech in the forest. She is just as important to him, as Elena and Stefan are. She is Damon’s best friend, first and foremost.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 03:27:46 +0000 UTCI’m not saying she can’t care about Bonnie. I’m saying that she shouldn’t have been stubborn and try to stay with her after she’s been marked. She can care about Bonnie, but it’s in her best interest to leave asap or she would have been in danger and that’s why Stefan did what he did.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 03:24:32 +0000 UTCSorry, but Damon doesn't love Bonnie like Elena did. He loves her a lot, but not like Elena. As I said before, Damon's priorities will always be Elena and Stefan, as we saw this season in the episode where Damon gets trapped in the Phoenix Stone. And he's right. I'm not judging him. Enzo is Bonnie's priority, even though she always defends and protects everyone, as she did in this episode. But no, Bonnie is not like Stefan and Elena to Damon.
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:12:18 +0000 UTCI don't judge her, even though she's really smart, Caroline showed that she cares about Bonnie more than anyone else at that moment.
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:05:36 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite episode of this season. And I have to say it again, Bonnie Huntress was insanely good
Wad20
2025-04-07 03:02:15 +0000 UTCOnce Bonnie becomes the huntress, I’m pretty sure she gets all of Rayna’s abilities like strength and her strong link to her victims. Since Rayna is immune to magic, I’m assuming that Bonnie can’t use her powers at the moment.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 02:49:23 +0000 UTCIt was not wise of Caroline to try to stay with Bonnie after she been marked. She knew that when Stefan had been marked, he had to run like hell for 3 years. She can be mad all she wants, but he did what was best for her and got her out of a dangerous situation.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 02:47:01 +0000 UTCAs usual, damon is able to bring Bonnie out by triggering an emotional response. He knows how to bring that anger out of people. First with no humanity Elena, and now with his best friend.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 01:47:50 +0000 UTC“I love you, the same way Elena loves you.” This line damon said to Bonnie is so sweet. Both Elena, and damon value Bonnie’s friendship and it shows how both of them need her in their lives. They are better off as platonic than romantic.
Amber Augustine
2025-04-07 01:43:10 +0000 UTCThe writers really shut down any speculation of Bamon in this episode by having Damon say he loves Bonnie in the same way that Elena loved her. I’m not necessarily a Bamon fan, but I felt bad for them anyway.
TK
2025-04-07 01:04:03 +0000 UTCI love how Damon was able to get Bonnie out of slumber by doing the opposite of what everyone else was doing (reminiscing). Anger got her out and that was definitely Damon's forte that came in handy.👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
