The Unholy Trinity - Preacher AU

Damon Salvatore is a hard-drinking, chain-smoking preacher who, enduring a crisis of faith, becomes infused with an extraordinary power. He embarks on a quest to better understand his new gift and literally find God, alongside his trigger-happy ex-girlfriend, Bonnie Bennett, who’s a trained marksman of exceptional skill and a drug-and-alcohol-addicted vampire named Kai Parker from Portland who joins Damon and Bonnie on their search for God.

The loss of Bonkai still hurts years later. :(

It’s sad how one woman (plec) can destroy potential like that. And waste Chris and Kat’s chemistry. And basically give their gemini/bennett storyline to the boring ass legacies characters.

I agree with you. Season 6-8 would have been epic if Plec, the writers and the executive producers were smart. They knew Nina was leaving the show, which was going to leave a hole in the series. Season Six was the perfect time to create something new and exciting for the series to hold up without Elena/Stelena/Delena. However, they fucked it up, I think if the show kept Kai, included the Gemini Witch plot, kept Jo or at least Liv, added more witches, bring back Lucy Bennett, and created a bigger witch storyline in season 7 not the heretic bs, the show would have been more successful after the loss of Nina. Chris and Kat chemistry could have helped the show maintain its audience. Thing about it was Chris Wood had not just great chemistry with Kat, but also Ian. The Damon, Kai, and Bonnie dynamic was on point, even the little bit that we got in season 8, showed that those three could have carried the show.

Plec hated any little attention Kat Graham got and derailed the show due to her own jealousy and her racism.

So... if I write a Bamonkai fic, will anyone read it?

[ms-ss]

When are u gonna update precipice?

Lol I answered this about a month ago, but since ppl keep messaging me about this I’ll summarize again:

I’m a full time student with a full time job so unfortunately I’ve had zero time to write.

Thankfully my break is coming in 2 weeks! So I’ll be starting up again then. Thank you all for your continued interest in my story -it really means a lot to me that after all this time you are still so interested.

I'm curious to know what's your opinion about the Bonnie's future... based on Kat's words (tvline interview) my two cents go to Damon or Kai

it’s funny you should mention kai, because after reading that interview, this part stood out to me 

The Phoenix Stone seems key to everything that's happening this season. What can you reveal about what the visions Bonnie's been having might mean? Graham: Obviously there's a link between the visions and the Phoenix Stone. I can't say what happens with the Phoenix Stone, but it's definitely going to be very relevant in the upcoming episodes. So this is the initial introduction to what this stone is and learning about it and what it's going to do and the effect it's going to have on all the characters moving forward.

so, idk why but i feel like they’re leaving the door open for kai to potentially come back via the phoenix stone. u know, in case containment pans, we’ll see chris wood reprising his role and smb will resurrect him with this stone. it’s a stretch, but it’s a stretch i’d see the writers go for since they like to save up their options. 

what if bonnie suddenly has visions of kai thanks to the stone? remember that she’s seeing some violent, but confusing imagery. what if it’s all kai? i feel like fic is coming

as for damon, after that discourteous towel throw lmao, i feel like their friendship will at one point hit a level of intimacy that will make them question what they are to each other. are we just friends or...have we seen each other naked one too many times?

that being said, i think we all know by now who will pop up in bonnie’s flashfoward in ep 5 (it’s enzo) and i am cautiously excited for that too. 

[thefudge]

what's up with all this "Kai is better than Damon because Damon is a rapist!!!! why would you ship Bonnie with Damon!!!?!!!!!" Like Kai is a fucking saint. I don't understand why people love comparing villainous characters so much. None of the guys on the show deserve Bonnie Bennett and I cannot freaking comprehend why people fight about who's the least villainous character Bonnie can date.

i mean, if we’re going to split hairs, yeah no one’s good enough for bonnie but this is goddamn TVD and ppl need to understand that this show is more problematic than the GOP. 

i am still super bitter damon’s first season behavior towards caroline was never fully addressed and am horrified his actions were kinda swept under the rug BUT i will say that the damon we’re dealing with now would never do that again. it’s a weak improvement, i know & it still doesn’t excuse his absolute fuckery, but this is the show we’re watching. i tell myself i’d quit if i wasn’t so invested in bonnie. *sigh* 

as for ‘kai vs damon’, yeah that’s a tricky and kind of useless comparison. kai may have done fewer inexcusable things simply because he had a smaller run-time. he did his share of nasty stuff, tho. what i will say, and what i have said in a previous rant, is that kai’s villainy and general evilness had some serious motivation plus a good helping of mental disorder. damon, on the other hand, kinda just did bad stuff gratuitously. not saying kai didn’t enjoy pulling some of the crap he did, but he had a muuuch bigger endgame in sight, which was to terminate his creepy abusive coven and gain all the power possible. damon sometimes had goals, but sometimes just went “what the hell, that person’s aorta looks yum”.  i think we excuse damon more because he had actual narrative arcs and emotional/moral development, whereas kai’s ‘development’ was cut short and he was killed off. 

(hey isn’t it interesting how both kai and damon killed pregnant ladies? and if you think about their motivations, you realize it’s all about gratuity again)

and look, the originals committed massacres by the dozens but we still rooted for them, stefan was a notorious ripper but we found ways to empathize with him etc. good or bad writing, if you are given enough time with a character, you will come to overlook some of the shitty stuff. it’s how these supernatural shows function. hell, even my bby girl bonnie has tapped into her dark side, which i kinda love. 

so yeah, i agree that trying to figure out who is the least villainous choice for bonnie is not the POINT on this show

the only really really really healthy and non-problematic relationship i could think of is monnie, but kat mentioned she’d do smth creepy to matt in the first few episodes of S7 so LOL that ship went dark too 

tl;dr it’s a supernatural show full of problematic bullshit, so just ship it and have fun and try to be considerate to other ppl in the fandom

[iiconic-clementine]

Most know I ship Bamon and Bonkai (as well a plethora of other Bonnie ships) but I think both fandoms can finally agree that if they stick precious, beautiful, too good for this world Bonnie Bennett with that old, crusty, I choose a girl I've know for 5 minutes over anyone Alaric

THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY 

[thefudge]

but damn i remember someone in the bonkamily making a joke about alaric/bonnie next season and we all laughed it off and thought it was fun and games

AND NOW GUYS

AND NOW

like okay i dont wanna be a debby downer but those recent interviews do not bode well for our girl and *sigh* i really have this bad feeling they are going with it because it’s “edgy” and he’s “older”. cuz that’s how they try to spice things up with bonnie; oh no, they don’t give her a challenging love interest like kai; no, they pair her up with the history teacher she’s had since she was fifteen, SOLID.  i don’t even wanna go into how much this will ruin bamon cuz i’d be here all night bUT GUYS SMB SAVE BONNIE BENNETT 2K15
