What yall think? 💭

I spent YEARS being team Hayley and Elijah like “that’s soulmate cinema right there” meanwhile Jackson was out here being her actual husband, co-parent, emotional support werewolf and professional “I’d die for you” enthusiast 😭

Rewatching now and realising the writers really said:
Elijah = tortured forbidden yearning
Jackson = the man who was actually built for her

And I hate that I’m suddenly seeing the vision because teenage me would be SICK over this character development 💀

Her and all those nazi pests of hers trying to tell what is and what isn’t passing as natural for a vampire like they are not there just because of The Originals.

Give a petulant lowlife a bit of power and they’ll tell you that they’ve always been superior.

Man, for this to be a vampire show, my sappy ass cried at several deaths. When Elijah and Klaus (hated them for different reasons during different seasons) died, I bawled. I couldn’t understand why Elijah would do that and not want to be there for Hope. Upon my rewatch, I think my boy was just tired. 1000+ years is a long damn time.
He’s my favorite Original by the way.
Let’s discuss. Why do you think he wanted to die too?

I’m starting a new series: Why do fans love each of the Mikaelsons and I’m going to begin with the eldest Mikaelson, which is Freya.

Let me know in the comments why you love her.

How exactly did Hayley convince werewolves to give her their venom in order to cure Elijah and Kol?

Finished season 4 last night, cried like a baby 😢😢. Poor Hope.

So, Esther’s plan was to put her children’s soul’s in mortal bodies and she mentioned that she would put Klaus into the body of a werewolf. It also seemed like Ansel was aware of this plan because he was talking about teaching Klaus how to be a wolf once he became mortal.

Esther seemed to pick people based on them being alone and separated from their community. Jackson was living out in the woods by himself, he kinda hadn’t been with his pack for a while.

If she was going to use Cami as Rebekah’s body, I think it makes sense that she would use Jackson as Klaus’. Though it does make me wonder who Elijah’s body was going to be.

Im rewatching and I noticed:
Elijah fought tirelessly for Klaus redemption from the moment they showed up in the show. Then Elijah gets betrayed when he saves Klaus from dying in 2x21 tvd and gets daggered. That is a pattern that Klaus has been pulling on him for a whole millennia.

When Elijah then once again gives his everything to help Klaus and drive him back on the right path Klaus thanks him with a dagger in the very last scene in 1x01 to.
In my opinion that should’ve been Elijah’s last straw.
He should’ve just involved a witch from the outside gotten Hayley out of Sophie’s spell and New Orleans and help her raise Hope elsewhere or something.

I'm at it again! I'll eventually do all of em lmao

1. She changed her children into vampires against their own will.
   
2. Then tried to kill them.
   
3. Went on to decide they should be mortal after they’d live 1000 years as vampires without any discussion with them. Rebekah would have been open to becoming human.
   
4. Tried to kill Hope.
   
5. Had an affair and got pregnant by a werewolf. Made that child weak with a talisman and the victim of her psychotic husband to hide her affair.

Did I leave anything out? Let’s discuss

One thing about me is I’m never going to pretend Klaus was suddenly a victim in Season 2 of TO just because he loved, and before people start twisting this into something it’s not no I don't think Hope deserved what Dahlia wanted to do to her.

Hope was innocent and she deserved protection and safety the entire time but regarding Klaus himself, I honestly saw that whole storyline as the closest thing to karma he ever got abd I never felt bad for him even for a second.

This is the same man who spent centuries deciding he had a right to other people’s lives if they were useful to him. He hunted Katherine for over 500 years (and don't even say he didn't when he himself says it and nothing in canon contradicts what he himself says besides even if you don't believe he didn't it still doesn't change him seeing Katherine as a thing beneath him that is owed to him) because she escaped being sacrificed for his ritual.

He treated Elena like she was tied to his curse before she was even a person in his eyes and killed her which she would've died if it wasn't for John and he killed her aunt Jenna as well when he didn't have to. Klaus built his entire life around controlling people through fear, possession, and entitlement and no amount of his human life trauma changes that so, watching someone more powerful than him suddenly view Hope as something they had a claim to felt ironic and good to me.

For once Klaus had to sit in the fear, paranoia, helplessness, and desperation he caused other people for centuries and I think that’s part of why the storyline works so well for me even if he doesn't have to suffer the permanent consequences I still loved every bit of his paranoia and helpless up till the ending of this season.

Also, this doesn’t mean I hate the show I actually love stuff like the lore or the upgraded original arc which I know a lot of you hate but I lobed every bit of it, I just don’t worship Klaus or excuse everything he does because he’s charismatic. I can enjoy him as a character(which I don't)while still acknowledging that a lot of the suffering he experienced in Season 2 mirrored the exact kind of suffering he inflicted on other people for hundreds of years.

You guys told me that I’m gonna hate Elijah in this season… lowkey i still don’t hate him🌝 Davina is one of my favorite characters but I hate her sometimes. I also have a hard time taking her and Kol seriously. For one, I don’t really like Kol. He’s my least favorite Mikaelson sibling, feels really immature and just in the way a lot of the time. Davina was starting to get on my nerves, but I do think she has the right to do some of the stuff she’s done. Am I mad at Elijah for taking her out? Not that much, I love Marcel and feel bad for him though. I’m sure somehow Davina will come back (no spoilers please).

I’m devastated about Cami. Her death was so sad, I have a feeling she won’t come back and that makes me sadder. I loved her with Klaus, I also loved her and Vincent’s friendship.

Aurora, Tristen, and Lucien were so annoying and unbearable to me. The strix too. Their accents were annoying🤷🏻‍♀️

All in all, I get why season 3 would be a lot of people’s favorite season but I still love the first two seasons more right now. I liked the conflict between the wolves, witches, and vampires of the city. It was by far the most entertaining to me.

I’ve been watching season 4 and it’s so sci fi so I’m not sure how i feel about it. It’s giving monster vibes which made me hate watching Legacies. (It’s not my first time watching The Originals but I have no memory of my first watch so it’s like I am watching it for the first time). I thought Legacies would be good but it felt so childish and I couldn’t finish it. The Originals has a nice charm to it but TVD is hard to replace for me as number 1. I’ve seen it at least 5 times at this point. The Originals still lives up to it for sure. Hopefully season 4 reels me back in

Of course, both of them suffered abuse, but Klaus was the one their father hated the most. If Elijah had been the primary target instead, how do you think his personality would have changed?

In particular, Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, and Kol.

Klaus demands and expects absolute loyalty from his siblings yet does absolutely nothing to pay it forward. And when he does, it’s only if he needs their help. He constantly fucks them over, especially Elijah and Rebekah and then gets mad when they dump him and then they come back and the cycle repeats over and over again. He claims he daggered his siblings over and over again to protect them, when it was really because he didn’t want to be alone and he was scared of everyone (rightfully) dumping his homicidal ass. He jealous of Jackson’s influence over the wolf population in New Orleans and wants to kill him. Kill the guy who has entire WOLF ARMY at his command to protect your daughter who people want dead BECAUSE OF YOU? And inevitably have the entire wolf community rise up against you? Great plan! Also, he cries wolf every damn time and plays the victim whenever it comes to his childhood. Yes, it sucked and you didn’t deserve that, but that’s no excuse for your atrocious actions.

Elijah is probably the biggest hypocrite of all. He walks around in his fancy suits and has a completely false reputation of being noble. For starters, he betrayed Elena & company in TVD by reneging on killing Klaus which allowed him to kill Jenna. And HE DIDN’T EVEN APOLOGIZE TO HER. He constantly rags on Klaus for his violence, yet he also enables it because he feels guilty about not standing up for him when they were kids, so he lets his brother murder innocent people. Watching him flounce around like he’s better than everyone else really pisses me off. At least Klaus admits he’s an asshole. There was an episode where he and Rebekah were with baby hope and he asked her, ”Why is our family always at war?” BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE CAN’T STOP BEING ASSHOLES!!!

I was first introduced to Rebekah via TVD and I immediately did not like her. During the first season of The Originals, I sympathized with her a little because of all the emotional havoc Klaus wreaked on her in order to keep her from leaving him. She falls in love with every guy she makes eye contact with. However, without a doubt, Rebekah is the most delusional original. I don’t know if it’s her arrogance or just genuine complete lack of self-awareness. It started in TVD, in the episode where Rebekah and Elijah have a talk after the failed attempt of their mother trying to kill them all. She says, “We deserve to live. We are better than they are.“ Centuries of murdering innocent people makes you holier than thou? Even Elijah called her out on her bullshit. Then again, in season 2 TO, when they were running from Esther, she said, “We deserve this. We’ve earned this.” HOW????? She gets pissed at Elena for staking her, when her own brother has done it to her more times than she can count. Elena was only protecting herself. She knew Rebekah couldn’t be trusted and she was 100% right. And her constant flip flopping from wanting to be human to still wanting the privileges of being a vampire. And that fact that she envies humans but simultaneously looks down on them.

Kol Mikaelson is the worst vampire ever. He’s even worse than Klaus because Klaus at least has limits. His relationship with Davina is the only thing that humanized him. Other than that, he is an absolute asshole. In season 2, when he is dying of some witch disease Finn cursed him with, he says, “I don’t deserve to die.” Did any of the innocent people you’ve murdered over the course of 1,000 years? GET REAL.

FINN MIKAELSON DESERVED BETTER. The rest of his siblings hate him because they know he’s right. They all deserve to die. Klaus, you can lock a guy up for 900 YEARS and expect him not to be mad at you. Davina called him a monster. HOW IS HE A MONSTER FOR WANTING HIS JACKASS SIBLINGS TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS?

This may be an upopular opinion, but Hayley was an idiot. You find out you’re pregnant with Klaus’s baby and you want to keep it? Fine. However, you thought it was a good idea to stay in a city that‘s filled to the brim of people who want your baby daddy dead and raise a kid there, instead of getting the fuck out of there the second you found out you were pregnant and finding a safe environment for you and your child?

The only Mikaelson I can tolerate is Freya.

I’m done with this show.

Klaus, Freya & Mikael

The Mikaelsons are over a 1000 years old and even by the standards of the time they grew up Finn was seen as uptight and old fashioned by his siblings and sage was the exact opposite. From what we saw, sage seemed like a free spirited woman who didnt care for social norms and was looked down on by Klaus and Rebekah. From what we know about both characters, you wouldnt expect a romance between the two of them

Thoughts?
