Ok, so if あなた know me from Fanfiction.net (Danielle Salvatore) あなた would know that I’m a major Bamon fan. They are my お気に入り pairing from VD in the 表示する and 本 (though mostly books). But lately, in the 表示する 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 ファン start kicking my ass, I’m not saying that I’m switching pairings. I still 愛 Bamon, but I think in the VD show, I might become neutral someday.
So I got inspired to get into the Delena ファン base a little, によって 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 ファン 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 フレンズ 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 ファン span: I think it seems like this only because the Delena ファン 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 ファン only care about Damon and Elena: Now this may be true for some Delena fans, but definitely not all of them. If あなた look at their spot, there are, right now, tons of アンケー on which pairings they like outside of Delena. From what I’ve seen, there are Delena ファン that ship Stefan/Katherine, Stefan/Caroline, Bonnie/Jeremy, Bonnie/Tyler, Caroline/Tyler, and ect. So saying that ALL Delena ファン are too blinded によって Delena to care about any other character is unfair.
Bamon:
. Bamon ファン only support Bamon because they ship Stelena: This is very far from the truth actually. Again, I’m not saying that ALL Bamon ファン are unlike this, but there are actually a lot of Bamon ファン who don’t like Elena, so how could they ship Stelena? I like both myself, but for me, I’m もっと見る of a Stefan/Katherine または Stefan/Caroline shipper. :)
Bamon ファン 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 ファン don’t see chemistry between Damon/Bonnie like we do.
And here is a very common stereotype coming from both sides:
Bamon/Delena ファン 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 ファン that ruined the Beremy spot).
So all in all, about half the コメント made during these shipping wars are ridiculous. Yes there are some rude Delena and Bamon ファン 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, または even share the same opinions on other pairings of the 表示する (I’ve met quite a few Delena ファン who like SK, which is my 秒 お気に入り paring in the show.)
または maybe we would all get along through our mutual 愛 of Damon. :)
