One thing that will never stop bothering me is how the writers acted like Kol and Bonnie could never work because Bonnie was a witch.
For years, one of the biggest arguments against Kennett was that Kol hated witches, couldn't be with a witch, would never understand a witch, and that Bonnie being a witch somehow made the pairing impossible.
Then suddenly we get Kol and Davina.
And now all the conversations are about how much Kol understands witches, how fascinating magic is to him, how he connects with powerful witches, how being a witch himself deepened his perspective, and how special his bond with a witch can be. So which is it?
Because if Kol can fall deeply in love with Davina, devote himself to her, support her, respect her power, become a witch himself, and build an entire storyline around that connection, then the argument that Bonnie being a witch made Kennett impossible falls apart.
What frustrates me is that Bonnie had all the ingredients for that story long before Davina existed. Bonnie was powerful, stubborn, intelligent, compassionate, and connected to magic in a way that shaped every aspect of her life. Kol was obsessed with magic, obsessed with witches, and endlessly curious about supernatural power. The potential was sitting right there.
Instead, Bonnie's story was constantly about sacrifice. Saving people. Dying for people. Losing things for people. Meanwhile, Davina got a storyline where a Mikaelson actually chose her, fought for her, and centered her.
Because when I watch Kolvina, I don't see proof that Kennett couldn't work. I see proof that it absolutely could have worked. The writers eventually created an entire romance built around Kol and a powerful young witch. They just didn't give that story to Bonnie Bennett.
And honestly? Bonnie should have had a storyline like that. She deserved to be the center of an epic supernatural romance instead of constantly being treated as the solution to everyone else's problems.
