DarwinQuark made a post saying that there should be a Bonnie spin-off called the Witch Grimoires (Because Only Pussies Have Diaries) and that sparked some inspiration to make this kind of crappy gif (at least, I tried!). If not a ipakita spin-off, a fanfiction would be totally awesome!link

8) Who is your role model/your main inspiration in your life and why?
My mum. Despite being widowed several years ago, and now with health problems, she's always fought through it with determination and grace - it made me deeply aware that strength isn't the physical act of being, but the quiet unseen force that keeps us fighting against impossible odds.
9) Favourite quote (s)?
"You are stronger than all of this. I'm so proud of you." Grams
"A woman is strong for who she is. Not who she's with." Unknown
(That's what I pag-ibig about Bonnie, is that she doesn't have to be on a mans arm, or in a relationship, to be exceptional in everything she does. It's just who she is.)
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelous
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." Martin Luther King Jnr
13) Your tuktok five favourite characters of all time in books/films/tv and why? (you can include ones from TVD if you want)
1. Ororo Storm Monroe ( Xmen ) - Despite Marvels attempt to write her as the Spinster Matron of Xmenverse, she remains one of sexiest, most courageous, brilliant and powerful female characters they've ever had.
2. Bonnie Bennett ( tvd ) - She has taught herself ancient spells, in a language that no longer is, pushing herself to the point she actually bleeds for her friends, for the town to keep them safe. Mystics truest heroine.
3. Ana Lucia Cortez ( Nawawala )- Misunderstood, hated, broken and wonderfully brave, no-nonsense, a fighter and a hero.
4. Selena ( 28dayslater ) - Kick tooshy, broken and brave.
5. Dizzy Cordova ( 100Bullets ) - Despite being hurt deeply sa pamamagitan ng her past, not able to trust and finding her way out of the darkness she's been pulled into - Dizzy is one of the best female characters in the comics out there.
Okay so these tanong will be on TVD before we ilipat onto Bamon?
16) Your tuktok five FAVOURITE characters from TVD?
1. Bonnie
2. Grams
3. Lucy
4. Emily
5. Alaric
17) Favourite season/series of TVD so far?
Season 1. Back then she had her fair share of screentime, and the characters were ibingiay their due.
18) Favourite villain that has been on TVD and why?
Katherine. Knew who she was dealing with and how to play them. Ruthless and selfish, she remains one of honest to character villians still written as such, of the show.
19) I'll give you a few characters/topics and you can give your opinion on them:
Jenna- Unforgiveably off screen madami than she was on it.
Ripper Stefan- Brutal, Brilliant and Beautiful. Even on his knees to Klaus, he still saved Elena and his brother.
Klaus/Caroline- Too OOC for such a fantastic villian to be this emo.
The Originals: Brilliant!! pag-ibig them, (especially Becks, Klaus (despite the writing), Kol and Elijah) want them to have a spin off, with Bonnie and Alaric.
20) What other couples do you ship in TVD and why?
Stelena - Because theirs has always been the true pag-ibig story (Soulmates) of tvd.
Ric/Lucy - Who better than a Bennett woman to give him a run for his money, the girl is fiesty!
Matt/Care - He loved and valued Care before she fully came into her own, and that matters a lot to any woman who has ever struggled with who they are. I pag-ibig him.
21) What do you think of TVD as a whole (you can comment on anything you like-characters, relationships WHATEVER) :)
I think the tatsulok of doom has done madami harm than good this season than any villian they can dream up. All characters are officially coming up to OOC to make way for the trio, and to me; that is disaster. Character; not ships should determine this show. I wouldn't want any heroine being less to justify a ship - especailly if they have to make her ex look worse, for her to be with someone else. I'd rather she go in mga baril blazing - hold the line - than accept anything less than what she deserves.
So NOW onto how you started shipping Bamon and who else you ship and all stuff TVD-elaborate as much as you want!
22) Roughly what episode/season did you start shipping Bamon? Why did you to start shipping Damon & Bonnie in the SHOW?
link Their first scene together, but mostly, every episode she stood in opposition to Damons snarky self-entitled demands. Her integrity and sense of right and wrong could not be swayed sa pamamagitan ng his charm, threats or violence. That is something he both respects and finds frustrating.
23) What do you pag-ibig about them so much....their chemistry, team work ect?
They add balance to each other despite having debts in the margins. Their confrontations remind me of a primal mating dance (most of which intensifys when their eyes lock) link
and there's no escaping the battle of wills. Yet, despite it..
link
He was saving her, not for Elena because she'd never know. But because in this scene he knew she was worth fighting for. No matter what contrived mess happens after, this scene and his gentle care of Bonnie was between just the two of them. It changed how they saw each other. Beautiful!
27) What are your expectations for ipakita Bamon-what do you want to happen between them and how? (write a scene if you want!)
Something has to be done after "All My Children" and not offscreen or sa pamamagitan ng text, like they've continued to do. There needs to be accountability and redemption - both Salvatores owe her a debt. madami than one, ibingiay she's sacrificed enough for them. Gave them the benefit of the justifiable doubt. Especially Damon. She had no reason to save him, to do anything to help him but she still did. So from here; I'd like to see HIM return that respect - to fight for Bonnie as passionately as she's fought for everyone else.
28) Name your tuktok five favourite Bamon scenes and why you pag-ibig them so much?
1. Dance scene
link
Two warriors spent in opposition who come together in something as intimate as a dance, to defeat a common enemy. He could let her die, it wouldn't be his fault - but impressed sa pamamagitan ng her courage, the selflessness and Bonnies integrity - he wasn’t going to let that happen. That dance changed a little how they saw each other.
2. link
0.49 She stands up to him, this human girl and fab novice witch. Toe to toe with a monster, unafraid. "Stay the hell away from me." His look is surprise, then intrigue. He's got a fight on his hands.
3. 1.27 and 1.36
Damons speech to Katherine in realizing that Bonnie didn't owe him anything but she did anyway, because that's who she is.
"Even if she has every reason to hate me, she still helped Stefan save me."
4. link
'Thankyou' and 'I owe you' and most of all "I'm very grateful." These words don't belong on his tongue. He's not one to respect someone that much to give it, at all, except for his brother. (Usually under duress and with plenty of booze to soften the blow.) So when he gives it , (the first time we've heard him say it ever) it's to Bonnie. Loved that he was determined to give her this, acknowledge her importance. I'd like madami scenes like this one.
5. link
"You may have Elena, and the Sheriff and everyone else fooled but not me."
Oooh, baby you tell him! Pass all the malarky and charm, Bonnie deals up close and personal in calling him on his toro puckey. His stance changes, nibbling of canapes comes to an end at the unapologetic challenge. This time she's the one leaning into his personal puwang and he's taking definite note.
30) APART from Damon, do you ship Bonnie with another character in TVD?
Oh, my yes!
Stefonnie - "Baby got back."
Balaric - "Because detention never felt so good."
Monnie - "Life savers"
Tonnie - " Their bite is worse than their bark "
Mason/Bon - "Oops?"
Klonnie - "Doing it the hard way" sa pamamagitan ng Ds_Redbird23
Kennett and Bon/Finn
31) APART from Bonnie, do you ship Damon with another character in TVD?
Nope.
32) If you could have a crossover couple of Bonnie with another character from ANOTHER tv show-who would it be? And same for Damon?
Bonnie- Sawyer/Boone (Lost) others: Sam/Dean SPN. Eric Northman/Alcide (TB)
Damon- Kendra (Buffy), Illyria (Angel), Tara (TB), Storm (Xmen)
34) To an "outsider" that you were trying to convince to ship Bamon-what would you say to make them believe Bamon is the best?!
Katerina Graham and Ian Somerhalder together. That is all the inspiration they'll need. ;)
35) Do you honestly believe Bamon will be endgame in the books and show?
Absolutely! All true pag-ibig stories begin as they have. Forged in battle, on opposite sides.
36) Why do you pag-ibig Bonnie so much?! What are you favourite things about her?
Courage. Intelligence. Sharp wit and sharper tongue. Selflessness. Considerate. Integrity. Heroic. segundo to none.
37) Why do you pag-ibig Damon so much?! What are you favourite things about him?
Snarky. Fun. Bolshy and broken. madami than he believes he is. segundo to none.
38) Favourite quote (if you can remember) from Damon?
"Even if she has every reason to hate me, she still helped Stefan save me."
39) Favourite quote (if you can remember) from Bonnie?
"If Damon spills so much as one drop of innocent blood, I'll take him out. Even if I have to take you down with him."
40) How do you keep your faith in Bamon when we get so little scenes....?
The beautiful, sassy, truth-saying, puso pumping divas on here. Their faith, unwavering courage and sweet determination lifts me everytime. pag-ibig Bamonfans!
41) Why do you think they would work so well together as a couple? (as they are always arguing/fighting ect.)
Because they're always arguing and fighting, it will never get boring with that kind of passion! Damon can't be made into Stefan 2.0, and only Bonnie can see that - deal with it. Bonnie won't back down when he tries to charm, smarm or threaten her. They're equals and balance each other out. Perfect.
42) Anything to say to all the other Bamonaters about keeping their faith and loving Bamon forever?
From the moment their eyes met, she drew the line he dare not tumawid and he made it clear he'd test her at every turn - we already knew, this was a fight worth fighting for.
Couldn't be madami proud too. ♥
