Kitty (Catherine) Bennet

I really wondered about splitting the last two up... but why not i suppose. I’ve mentioned before how the 1790s were a time of confused/rapidly evolving fashion. The wild in-between of post-revolution and Empire waistlines. Great fun. This sort of gown that I’ve chosen for the youngest two is in that middle ground with the high waistlines, but closer to the fashions of earlier decades than for example Jane’s or Lizzy’s. It has a similar shape to that of Mary’s but is in bright fabrics with cheerful and traditionally feminine touches.

Ayana should have gotten a bigger role.

In S3, I wished we got to see Bonnie explore more of her legacy through her. Hell, it didn't even have to be tied directly to Esther or the Mikaelsons, though that was then the main plot then. Also, Ayana was Esther's mentor and taught her magic.

But the episodes when Grams helped Bonnie destroy Esther's necklace. It could've been a great intro for Ayana, who informed Sheila, who then told Bonnie not to get involved cause that's 'Original witch business'.

I imagine Bonnie consulting more than just her Grams, but just her ancestors in general. We already got Emily and then Ayana.

Aside from being a healer and practicing Spirit magic, did Ayana still have a husband? How many children did she have? She had at least one because she sealed Esther's coffin and preserved her body through their line's magic. Also, It was a requirement that only a Bennett, in this case Bonnie and Abby, could open it. The spell needed 2 generations of Ayana's bloodline.

Also, since she was a mentor, Ayana taught her children first and foremost.

Like even taking out the Mikaelsons, where did Ayana go after the whole vampire creeation mess? Did she stay in the New World, or go back where she was from/born? What happened to her kid(s)? Where were her grimoires, if she had any?

I have a whole other headcanon about the spell preservation about the Bennetts in general: it isn't through Grimoires, but through their bloodline. - might expand it or not. My thing is Grimoires can be stolen and taken, and passing knowledge in history wasn't always done through writing but oral as well.

Aside from Grams, Bonnie's interaction with her family/ancestors is soooo.... meager.

Like, even Spirit magic could have remained a thing since A) Qetsiyah made the Other Side and B) they could have guided her in a much better way.

But anyway, since this is getting too long.

Only seeing Ayana in S8 again was kinda a nice callback, but not fulfilling at all for me! Like, the lore and everything would not have existed without the Bennetts!!!

She's a 10 but won't accept anything less than "you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love--I love--I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on"

One thing I just can’t stop thinking about since finishing P&P is the fact that Jane Austen understood cringe.

#i mean it #the bennets #are a bunch of embarrassing dorks #who have no concept of how to behave in public #and it super gets in the way of the girls getting themselves matched #cringe has been around FOREVER #jane austen #sense and sensibility is probably on the docket next #pride and prejudice #elvella read p&p in a fever dream #elvella and jane austen

Mary Bennet

The next Bennet sister is Mary, the sort of plain, bookish, serious sister of the bunch. Of course I have a soft spot for her. And I recently read 'The Other Bennet Sister' by Janice Hadlow and enjoyed it as both a character study and a gentle reminder about happiness taking effort as much as luck.

(And yes she was the second redesign on the new drawing set up I was still working on so if she looks a little odd in comparison that's at least a little bit of the reason why)

A TVD what if I would like to write a fanfic about: the Bonnie/The Bennett edition after rewatching the show, starting from S3.

- Abby's reason for leaving has to do with her daughter/family not Elena/ Gilberts. Everything Abby did was for/because of Bonnie/her mother/husband. I might keep the complexity of Abby not wanting the responsibility of being a witch cause I can understand her POV, but she would've been a better mom and taking her responsibility that she has a child, cause why could she do it with Jamie (he does not exist in my fic and Wilson is an alias while she was on the run/in hiding) and not Bonnie? I think it is possible to separate being a witch and a mom.

Speaking of being a witch, I'd even say Abby had to sacrifice her magic to desiccate Mikael then after 14 years it would return as a sign that Mikael was freed by his compelled (vampire) minions, which makes it so Abby returns to MF to protect her family once more. She finds out her mother isn't alive and get a scene with her visiting the Bennett family graveyard with Bonnie.

-Abby and Bonnie's relationship while strained would've been mended as time went on. They would definitely agree/disagree on how to protect MF and put a halt to Bonnie's borderline selfless that gets herself killed. Abby would put her daughter first like how Elena is put first by the others, especially by Damon and Stefan. In that regard Abby would be more self preserving which would cause friction with the others, but would give Bonnie more agency.

- Abby and Rudy would actually interact as estranged husband and wife (cause the show acted like Rudy didn't exist until S4). Rudy would cope with Abby's return by being a workaholic. Abby would give space until he was ready to talk.

- Lucy would definitely return in my fic, cause she said she'd see her again and the show did her dirty.

That's all I have for now that part.

I do have some other ideas based on the first 'Bennett' witch who arrived to the New World with the Mikaelsons family through Ayana. I'd even introduce her child(ren). After the creation of the Original vampires Ayana and her famjly were force to flee, because a witch created the vampires. They werent safe, Esther got killed by her own child, and the villagers/villages around them would probably have an aversion to witches.

Ayana and her kids could either stay in the New World there or go back to North Africa (excuse the lack of specific country) since historically there was some Viking influence there through raids and plundering. It is the only explanation that makes sense to me as to why she was with the Mikaelson, a Viking family, in Europe in the first place. To briefly touch a bit on Africa in the medieval times : there was (slave) trade between West and North Africa. But that is to flesh it out and have it make sense given the lack of depth the writers gave us in the show.

Don't introduce a character if you can't even make the effort to expand on Bonnie's ancestry other than being a token/relevant for the plot and then retcon or never mention it again in your continued lore (cough, cough Esther in the Originals and the total lack or mention of Ayana). Cause people in fandom are acting dense on purpose when it comes to Ayana and the Bennett influence in TVD and the Supernatural world. But again, if the writers can't show the decency then fandom is gonna follow them.

I would possibly even sprinkle some romance here and there (cause yes, I love my "crack" ships and romantic touches in a story in general c). But my main focus would be the Bennett line and fleshing out their history cause we could've gotten soooo much more and it was such a missed opportunity.

Inspired by the many rants I read in fandom about Bonnie/the Bennets, the fans and a few pro Bonnie/Bennet blogs I started to followed such as @cancerian-woman whose insights I read on repeat together with some other talented writers on here
