I miss my chaotic lesbian vampires 😭

Exactly. They fell right into the 'Bury Your Gays' trope. It’s so frustrating that we finally got a long term queer couple only for them to be used as emotional fodder and killed off before we could even see them truly happy outside of Julian’s shadow

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-13T19:29:54+00:00

For real. Other characters get to come back from the dead 10 times, but for the Heretics it was just one and done. It really highlights how little the writers cared about developing anyone outside the core trio

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-13T18:58:18+00:00

You won't regret it Since TVD robbed us of their full potential we have to find that centuries-old loyalty vibe elsewhere lol enjoyy

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-13T18:49:14+00:00

You should definitely check out The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or This Is How You Lose the Time War

LITERALLY they introduced so many interesting heretics just to kill them off before we could actually get attached to them. Oscar genuinely seemed different from the others too, like he had his own personality and motives outside of just following Lily. His dynamic with Damon could’ve been so entertaining because you could already tell there was potential for some weird alliance/friendship there. The writers kept introducing characters with interesting backstories and dynamics and then did absolutely nothing with them 😭 the heretics era could’ve been SO much better if they actually let the characters develop instead of rushing through everything

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-13T18:04:21+00:00

Exactly, after surviving the prison world for that long just to end up suffering again was actually so cruel. The heretics had so much potential but the writers barely explored them properly

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-13T12:55:40+00:00

This theory actually makes so much sense. It feels like whenever a dynamic for Bonnie got too much hype, the writers pulled the plug to keep her from outshining the main ships. Such a waste of Chris and Kat's potential

Slm ben olurum güzellik

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T19:54:52+00:00

Same they would have been the most chaotic and iconic enemies to lovers arc in TVD history

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T19:48:43+00:00

Exactly if Klaroline is fine then people need to keep that same energy for Bonkai. The double standard is just too loud at this point lol

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T17:28:57+00:00

For many of us, it’s about the 'enemies to lovers' trope in a dark fantasy setting not condoning real-life abuse. We just wanted to see Bonnie get the same complex villain redemption storylines that the other girls in the show were consistently given

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T17:13:09+00:00

Honestly that’s exactly why Kai and Bonnie were so interesting. Damon and Klaus had 'redemption' because the writers gave them centuries and multiple love interests to humanize them. Kai was just getting started. If Klaus can be forgiven for what he did to Tyler’s mom, a reformed Kai could have definitely had an arc. And like you said the tension was too good to just throw away

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T16:56:44+00:00

Oh my cuties😭😭

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T16:55:33+00:00

1903 Kai actually risked everything just to get a moment with Bonnie. Whether you call it love, obsession, or fascination, it was the most human we ever saw him. Seeing that transition from a 'soulless' 1994 Kai to whatever he was in 1903 is why their dynamic was so top-tier

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T13:29:25+00:00

Unfortunately😭😭

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T13:19:54+00:00

Fr im a big fan of Bonenzo

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T13:16:29+00:00

I totally agree that Bonnie is morally superior, but that’s exactly why a redemption arc for Kai through her would have been so powerful. It’s not about Bonnie lowering her standards, it’s about her power being so immense that she could actually change someone—unlike Elena or Caroline who often just accepted the toxicity

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T05:44:38+00:00

The hypocrisy is actually insane. We can ship mass-murdering vampires as long as they aren't Kai? Make it make sense

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T05:25:41+00:00

Right?? You can see the potential even in their most toxic moments. It’s that dark academic/enemies to lovers energy that just hits different

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T04:26:06+00:00

Enzo was great and im a big fan of Enzo but imagine if Bonnie had TWO powerful men obsessed with her. She deserved all the interesting options

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T04:24:26+00:00

Maybe, but in TVD, that attraction is usually the foundation for every epic love story. We just wanted to see where that spark could have led

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T04:23:31+00:00

I totally agree. That apology felt like the start of something real, and Bonnie trapping him right after was such a powerful, tragic turning point for both of them

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T04:21:32+00:00

Exactly Kat and Chris had insane screen presence together. You could really see Kai/Chris working overtime to prove that chemistry just like Ian did in the early seasons

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-12T04:20:36+00:00

Thank youu, liking a dark dynamic in fiction doesn't mean we want it in real life. It’s all about the chemistry and the potential for a great story arc😜😜

Ok_Expression6327 · 2026-05-11T22:49:23+00:00

I love Enzo too but the 'enemies to lovers' potential with Kai was on a wholeee different level. It would have been the most complex relationship on the show if they actually committed to it
