Ok, so if آپ know me from Fanfiction.net (Danielle Salvatore) آپ would know that I’m a major Bamon fan. They are my پسندیدہ pairing from VD in the دکھائیں and کتابیں (though mostly books). But lately, in the دکھائیں at least, I’ve started to see Delena in a new light, maybe even to the point that I might start liking them soon.
Now before my fellow Bamon شائقین start kicking my ass, I’m not saying that I’m switching pairings. I still love Bamon, but I think in the VD show, I might become neutral someday.
So I got inspired to get into the Delena پرستار base a little, سے طرف کی going over to their spot and talking to a few of them, and discovered some things: they have a lot of stereotypes about us Bamon شائقین as we do about them.
Now some of them from both sides are just flat ridiculous so I thought I would address some of them. I’ll start with Delena:
Delena:
While I was on their spot, I actually met and talked to a few of them, and even made دوستوں with some. So the fact that everyone say they’re crazy is not true (at least not for all of them). They are just passionate about their ship, like we are. :)
. Delena شائقین span: I think it seems like this only because the Delena پرستار base is so big (now don’t get me wrong, I do find myself getting annoyed at all of the Delena stuff in the VD spot, but saying that they are spamming is a bit unfair).
. Delena شائقین only care about Damon and Elena: Now this may be true for some Delena fans, but definitely not all of them. If آپ look at their spot, there are, right now, tons of پولز on which pairings they like outside of Delena. From what I’ve seen, there are Delena شائقین that ship Stefan/Katherine, Stefan/Caroline, Bonnie/Jeremy, Bonnie/Tyler, Caroline/Tyler, and ect. So saying that ALL Delena شائقین are too blinded سے طرف کی Delena to care about any other character is unfair.
Bamon:
. Bamon شائقین only support Bamon because they ship Stelena: This is very far from the truth actually. Again, I’m not saying that ALL Bamon شائقین are unlike this, but there are actually a lot of Bamon شائقین who don’t like Elena, so how could they ship Stelena? I like both myself, but for me, I’m مزید of a Stefan/Katherine یا Stefan/Caroline shipper. :)
Bamon شائقین are too blind to see the chemistry of Delena: To me, some people can see chemistry between two people, and some don’t. It’s all in the matter of opinion, just like how Delena شائقین don’t see chemistry between Damon/Bonnie like we do.
And here is a very common stereotype coming from both sides:
Bamon/Delena شائقین are crazy: This seems to pop up in both the Bamon AND Delena spots all the time. For me, neither fandom is crazy; we just both have a select few who give us a bad name (like the obnoxious Bamon پرستار that ruined the Beremy spot).
So all in all, about half the تبصرے made during these shipping wars are ridiculous. Yes there are some rude Delena and Bamon شائقین out there, but we shouldn’t let those few immature people ruin the rep of the whole fandom.
And I’ve also discovered that just because we disagree on who Damon should be with, there is a great possibility that we may share tastes in pairings outside of VD, یا even share the same opinions on other pairings of the دکھائیں (I’ve met quite a few Delena شائقین who like SK, which is my سیکنڈ پسندیدہ paring in the show.)
یا maybe we would all get along through our mutual love of Damon. :)
