#I have sooooooooo many thoughts about Caroline

Oh have you ever drawn Caroline saying her incoming “goodbye Caroline” line?
How do you see her when she said it?! I’m curious!
Tumblr media
I had to draw her today so I could say “yes I have”
The following is, of course, my opinion.
To me, Caroline is a very intelligent, clever woman. There’s a misconception that Caroline was being your average ditzy secretary when she says this line, but to me, she was making a clever joke. She probably said it with a smile and a wink at Cave when the recording you hear in old Aperture was originally made. She and Cave worked well with each other and understood one another on a certain level, to where they just knew exactly what the other was talking about. Not sure if telepathic is the right word. But they understood each other more than any other two people in Aperture did.
But there’s a melancholy angle too, I think. Goodbye, Caroline. The meaning changes as the years went by. It starts off as a joke, but I think Caroline gives more and more to Aperture as time passes, and she devotes her life to it (Cave doesn’t call her the backbone of the facility for nothing). She gives even more once Cave falls sick and eventually dies, and she takes over.
Eventually, she’s given so much of herself to Aperture and to science—once she’s given all a human being can possibly give—that, in the end, she becomes Aperture.
Goodbye, Caroline.

The Originals Season 5 Episode 10: A+ parenting
What a pickle Ladies and Gentleman. They just keep on killing characters. MY GAY BABY AND I`M NOT OKAY. JOSHIEEEEEEEEEEE
Review:
Hope keeps on beating Klaus up to make the Hollow quiet. Since she is not really mad at her dad he goes out and gets the boy she is really mad at. The legend, the vampire, the wheat if he was a bread, the kid that would choose salt as their favourite spice, the one and only Roman Ladies and Gentleman. We abduct curls and Klaus looks him up in a nice and cosy cell and lets Hope go loose on the dude. Wow Klaus really is an A+ dad. Teaching her the important things like family love, probably how to ride a horse and sweet torture.
In the Marcel plotline our wise and graceful leader chooses to check out Emmets hiding place all alone. I don´t know about you but walking alone into a warehouse were a gazillion vampire Nazis are hiding sounds absolutely amazing. No way that could go wrong right? Well false they strap him to a table and take his venom. I don´t get that part with the venom. Is it werewolf? Then so what? There´s Klaus right? I really should pay better attention to everything.
Before my Gayby (Josh) goes to rescue good for nothing Marcel he talks with a frantic Declan, who is totally going on my nerves. Dude just leave. A cute stranger flirts with my baby until he gets reminded of Aiden. Aiden…….Whenever something good and gay happens to me this stupid show takes it away. Joshie goes to rescue Marcel and they all get into a big huge fight. Then I died, because Josh that stupid, stupid, stupid boy got injected with the venom and he really died and I hate it so much, because I rarely hate a death, but this one I hated so much. He is so good and loyal and he was my favourite character. Fuck you. But all this has an upside. He goes into the afterlife, which really confuses me, and gets reunited with Aiden. That was beautiful. I love them and I wish I could love Freelin as much, but I can´t. I just don´t have that many emotions for them or Freya to be brusque and I seem to be the only one. (Later on marcel and this situation)
Meanwhile Roman is locked up. Antoinette texts Elijah. Fuck Antoinette. We are still not rid of that bitch. That horrendous woman asks Elijah to go rescue her baby brother from Hope. This was just such a middle finger to Hayley and Elijah shippers in my opinion. She just died. I still believe Hayley wasn´t his greatest love, but still. They were an important fandom to this whole spiel. Elijah of course tries, because he is so loyal. So loyal. He and Klaus have some conversation about family again and that he is leading Hope to an evil place with all his killings, but let’s move on.
Before coming to the final moments let’s quickly wrap up the Ivy and Vincent story.
I was so sad when she woke up, but she was kinda alive with vamp blood in her system. She rejected the transition and talked about her dad. Vincent showed her that the afterlife sucked for her, because of the ancestral magic pool. So Vincent convinced all the witches to give up their powerful magic, so HIS girl would have a peaceful death. And they all went along with it? Idiots. Not even one person objected? Power is super nice guys. Anyway Ivy died for good now. End for her.
The final moments was when Antoinette and Elijah tricked all the vampire Nazis that they were on their side until Hope and Klaus showed up and Hope destroyed the bastards. She killed them all and made the Hollow stop, because she eventually decided to not kill Romaine Salad. She killed a lot of people. You good Hope? That girl will either develop a serious drinking problem or will need centuries of therapy.
Without her knowing Declan was in the church too and she almost killed him too, but the Irish won´t stay down. What a tough cookie he is.
Hope freaks out and then she gets comforted by Roman and it is cute. We all hate Roman, but it was cute indeed. Doesn´t matter in the end, because according to the laws of the universe our Hope Mikaelson will soon have another romantic suitor and I bet he is a dark moody bad boy with a HISTORYYYYYYYY. Holy shit Roman is in fact Stefan.
Lastly Hope activates her werewolf side because she accidentally killed a dude named Bill and I´m very sad for Bill. He probably had a few plants he took care off and a thriving stamp collection.
Thoughts and Theories:
Marcel is going to go down an interesting path I think. He sees Hope going dark and his best friend/person just died and I don´t know how many friends he has left. Klaus is not really a friend. I think he might come around to the human thing with Rebekah. I think they could get back together. I know them can´t become human again, but I think he will understand her better soon.
Rebekah is also difficult. What she has is an eternity full of misery.
Around the block I heard Klaus is going to try to sacrifice himself for his family and Elijah takes his place. Caroline would be off to the side crying or something. Take this with a grain of salt though. It would be the exact thing like in the Vampire Diaries finale so I don´t know. It would support my Elijah death theory. Though. That´s just a rumour.
I didn´t pay that well attention so why is it bad that Hope activated her werewolf side now? Is she going to destroy the city now like the prophecy said? Is that why they flip out?
Oh and the Vampire Nazis are gone. Wow this season is all over the place with its villains. But I hated them and I still low-key judge them because a lot of them are POC or woman. Guys this is some straight male shit. What is you doing honey?
I´m tired so let’s go to the trailer and the next episode which comes out in a couple of hours.
Trailer/Next week
My girl Davina is back peopleeeeee. Klaus and she are going to try to fix Hope. Yey EVERYONE IS COMING back. The-woman-are-coming-back. Rebekah and Davina. YAYYYYYYYYYY. (Kol too btw) But DAVINA AND REBEKAH. I MISSED THEM SOOOOOOOOO MUCH. I´m crying.
The dark magic is destroying Hope and yeah.
Freelin is going to get married everybody. I saw the pictures and it feel kinda like a rip off of TVD but who cares.
Elijah is going to deal with Hayley’s memory and also Declan just keeps on snooping around. Stawp Lucky Charms. Marcel is going to get involved with that.
And with that we are done. I´m bored
I´m out
XOXO
