I’m curious... you said bonnie x marcel and rebekah x enzo? did I read that right? I’m so curious as a bonenzo stan haha
Okay, let it be known that i too adore Bonenzo. And Rebel/Marbekah. I love the canon ships as they stand.
However,
Rebekah and Enzo would be hilarious, sexy and iconic. I would pay to see this ship for the banter alone. However, it goes deeper than that. Rebekah and Enzo share a lot of the same values. They’re both intensely loyal. They both were isolated for a long time. they both desperately want to be loved gently, and they’re both true romantics. I can see Enzo empowering Rebekah to want more for herself in her familial relationships (even recklessly standing up to Klaus like he confronted Stefan for making Caroline cry), and Rebekah empowering Enzo to believe that he’s worth loving and sticking around for (much in the way Bonnie does). They might be too similar for their own good, and the likelihood that Klaus would kill Enzo is high, but they share the most important values and I think they’d gel really well. Also, I think they're really well morally matched. One of my issues with TVD is that the ships always seem to be comprised of one person who tries to do the right thing and one who doesn’t care. While this can be interesting initially, it always turns into a game of who is going to change who, and the moral character always seems to lose the battle. Rebekah and Enzo wouldn’t save each other morally, but they also wouldn’t worsen each other, which would be refreshing. Two people who are on the same page loving each other in the way they’ve always wanted to be loved, but also they’re hot vampires with british accents. Sign me tf up.
Bonnie and Marcel are good for each other in many of the same ways. both pushed to the side and taken for granted by the most important people in their lives, Bonnie and Marcel have both learned the hard way that people won’t treat you right if they think they can get away with it. Both of them have hard-won self respect, and they’d really admire that in each other. I feel like she’d call him out on some of his bravado bullshit and remind him of his worth (much like she does with Enzo). For his part, Marcel would empower her to seize control of her life and use her power how she sees fit. I see him really admiring her strength of character, especially given how long she’s been in the supernatural game and what she’s been through. In turn Bonnie would validate that part of Marcel that is a good guy, which would be new, because nobody he’s ever cared about has ever really cared whether or not he does the right thing. Like I said with Rebekah and Enzo, they seem well morally matched. There would definitely be some tension given what Marcel sometimes feels he has to do to maintain control, but I’m really into that being something they work out between them (because these two actually know how to communicate). Also, Bonnie would make a great queen of NOLA. I think Bonnie has a lot of leadership potential. She and Marcel have the same “never stop fighting” spirit, coupled with a healthy dose of charm and a sense of self that a lot of the other characters lack. She’d be able to negotiate between the vampires and the witches, and I also think she’d just like being around people who don’t see her as the same person she was when she was a kid. I can see her grabbing drinks with Cami and Josh, talking witch politics with Vincent, or even being a tough love sort of mentor to Davina. And we know the Mikaelsons wouldn’t get away with half their bullshit if Bonnie was in town.
Now, why not the four of them together? Because I really don’t think that Bonnie and Rebekah or Enzo and Marcel would gel well enough for that to work. But it’s a nice thought.
