halfamoonGuys, what's up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
halfamoon this year? It's so very, very quiet... Anyway, to breathe a bit of life into this community, I decided to come up with the ever popular Unpopular Woman Love Post.
I simply nicked the rules from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bofoddity's fabulous post in 2011:
1. Start a thread and put the character's name and the canon they come from in the subject line.
2. Those who love the character comment on the thread with squee, thoughts, fic/art/vid recs, picspams, essays, links and everything they can think of. Make sure your character gets all the love and the attention she deserves.
3. If a character has a thread and you want to talk about her, comment to the thread in question. General comments and threads for new characters go to the main post.
4. Focus on the love. This is an all positivity, all time post. Embrace your happy!
5. Absolutely no bashing allowed. Please avoid making negative comparisons to other characters, other character types and "well this character sucks more!" kind of comments as well as disparaging remarks about actresses or other versions of the same character. Those characters, character types, and actresses have their fans too and hey, it's a love post. Save negativity for other things.
In other words, this post is all about celebrating and loving our favorite unloved women. Now, love away!

Date: 2012-02-02 04:02 pm (UTC)Gah, you explained everything I love about Bonnie so very well that I don't have much left to say. I will only add that one of the things I love most about Bonnie is how much she CARES for other people. I love that she truly VALUES life on a show where people are killed off at the drop of a hat. I love that Bonnie FEELS every single loss of human life, regardless of how strong her relationship with the deceased was. And I think that's part of the reasons she feels such a responsibility to protect the people around her, because she knows how precious their lives are and she will do everything she can to ensure those lives continue, despite the many supernatural threats.
And I loathe the way the writers only seem to use her whenever they need something magic-y to happen. They basically forget she exists until they need her to do a spell or protect her friends or have a romantic relationship with someone. I have hope for her current storyline but I will not be surprised if it ends badly.
