#Klaus would hate it

[andreal831]

The main reason I can’t see Elijah considering Marcel and Davina as family compared to Cami is the fact that they’re seen as being anti-Mikaelson (rightfully so) more times than not. But in Elijah’s eyes, it doesn’t matter if their reasons are valid, it would make them a threat to his family. Whilst Cami (and obviously Hayley) on the other hand, never did anything to go against the Mikaelsons or harm them. It’s kind of ironic considering they’re the two that actually married a Mikaelson in the end.

I don’t really know how to form this into a question so I guess I’m just asking for your opinion on it lol.

I do see what you're saying and I think Elijah has different tiers of family.

Cami and Hayley were in the Rebekah/Klaus/Hope top tier for him. And yes, a lot of it is because they accept Rebekah and Klaus so easily. He is able to allow himself to love them in that way because he doesn't have to worry about causing division in his family as he has had to in the past. Cami and Hayley can threaten the very lives of his family, and they kind of do, but he wouldn't harm them for anything.

But Marcel should be up there too. This is actually another reason I wish the show wasn't so centered around Klaus because Klaus wasn't the only one that was there for 100 years watching Marcel grow up, yet based on what we see in the show it almost feels that way. I think it would be extremely problematic for Elijah to watch Marcel grow up and be raised in his household but not even consider him family. Even though Hope is not Elijah's child, he would never let anything happen to her even if she turned on Klaus or his family. Why should Marcel be different? This is a big problem I have with the writers, how differently the family members interact with Hope and Marcel. Just because Marcel is not biologically related, they raised him. They chose to make him a part of their family. That makes him family. I can't imagine Elijah watching him grow up and not caring for him. We see it throughout the show that Elijah does care about Marcel, even though he has a terrible way of showing it a lot of the time. Elijah regrets how their relationship turned out because he allowed Klaus to dictate raising Marcel. So it's not because Marcel is with Rebekah but because he was adopted by the Mikaelsons. Elijah even helps dagger Kol for attempting to harm Marcel when he is a child. Their relationship is continuously disregarded though in the name of drama or trying to build up Klaus as a father figure.

Ideally I would like to think Elijah views Marcel more up there with Hope, but unfortunately he's probably more on the same level as Kol. I think still maybe above Finn. Like Elijah would leave Marcel to rot in the dungeons, but I just don't see Elijah killing him (I know ironic because it did happen).

Davina is a little different because Elijah doesn't really know her for a long period of time. Davina's relation would be mostly because of how Marcel and Kol view Davina. Elijah doesn't really have a direct link to her so I do think this is a little weaker of a connection. Just because your sibling is dating someone, doesn't mean you view them as family. Davina is family adjacent at best, which is why I think he would inevitably still sacrifice her for his family. He'd rather Kol be heartbroken and alive then be dead. I think if Elijah had lived to see them marry and interacted with Davina more, he would come to see her as family and even find her hatred of Klaus amusing. But I don't think she would ever truly get to a point where she would be safe if she went against the family. Elijah may hesitate more if he has his own familial love for her, but to Elijah, she would always be just outside of those who are safe.

We also can't forget that their own family members were anti-Mikaelsons so I don't think this necessarily stops them from being family. Look at Kol and Finn. Elijah may let them sit in a box for an unspeakable amount of time, but he wouldn't let anyone harm them. It's one of those, I can bully my sibling but if someone else did it, we'd have problems.

I've said this before, but I love that an important trope for TO is that family isn't just blood and hate that it is a trope that is forgotten so much in the writing. There are so many amazing found family relationships as well as so many blood relationships that are terrible. I wish the show about family would have focused more on the family.

Thanks for bringing this up!

realistically i don't think any mikaelson should have been a parent and i especially don't think a child raised by them would be like. a good person or well adjusted but i do think they should have raised hope to be a little terror. i don't care. none of those people are good people and i need them to own it and i need them to raise a little bastard. they would NOT have raised a selfless little do gooder who sacrifices herself for the world. those are the most selfish people in existence. that's why they couldn't be in her life she would NOT be the person she was in legacies

#hope is cool good for her #but i wanted her to be a nuisance to society #klaus being a shitty dad is in character idc what anyone says #but i think if hope had been raised by them she would be a spoiled brat and also have some of the worst traits ever #especially with elijah's idea that they were all gonna raise her #What. you people fucking suck #i wanted it so bad #anyway. jpec and co hate me #they de-bitchified hayley so bad from tvd #they actually gave klaus some of his being a general terror shit back #after they took him off tvd and stopped giving him scenes with That Girl. #anyway. little nuisance hope is real to me idc #hope mikaelson #mikaelson family #klaus mikaelson #elijah mikaelson #hayley marshall #rebekah mikaelson #freya mikaelson #kol mikaelson #marcel gerard #davina claire #you mean to tell me. you think this assortment of people were going to raise a morally good girl who is not even a little bit of a brat? #yeah okay #keelin is the only one i feel like . would probably try to instill morals in hope but she's fighting a losing battle #keelin malraux

People will see how Hayley was willing to let Klaus die, probably even wanted it, so Elijah could return to life and to her in season four, how Klaus begged for Cami's life the moment Aurora threatened her yet did nothing while Lucien had his heart in Hayley's heart because his pride was bigger, liteally died for Camille in season two (the only other person he did this for was Hope btw) and they'll still think Klaus and Hayley could have ever been in a romantic relationship.

#please bffr #klaus and hayley are imo too similar to be romantically interwined #not to say hayley was DISGUSTED anytime people thought klaus and her were a thing #klaus made hayley's death more about his broken brotherhood with elijah than her own death #“he disowned elijah for her!!!!” yeah sure that's why he went straight to him like three episodes later 💀 #every single time he “put” hayley over his family there was a elijah/hope context #klaus and hayley would hate anyone who ship them tbh #not to say klaus was actually rooting for haylijah #and hayley liked klamille like 😭 #klaus mikaelson #hayley marshall #elijah mikaelson #camille o'connell #anti klayley #klamille #haylijah #hope mikaelson #the originals #the vampire diaries #tvd #to

there’s still time to celebrate your newest brother at the end of the world <3 happy pride from the hargreeves

#they said the apocalypse can wait… first let’s have fun :) #they managed one (1) successful family photo just to celebrate their newest brother #(and s3 was a hate crime against them) #i think if diego was celebrating he would take off the knives and put on some hot pants #and the wee lipstick kiss is from lila (also bi 🥰) #i think allie and klaus would have gone crazy with makeup and paint had everyone allowed them #but allie DID manage to dye a lot of their hair #the umbrella academy #the umbrella academy fanart #tua fanart #allison hargreeves #five hargreeves #ben hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #diego hargreeves #luther hargreeves #hargreeves family photo #their outfits/makeup allude to their hcs but here’s a quick rundown: #allison - bi; five - lesbian/agender; ben - bi/genderqueer; viktor - trans; klaus - bi/non-binary; diego - trans/bi; luther - ace #i love my stupid stupid gay family sm #.k #.k art #art art art

elijah is one of my favorite tvdu characters ever, but I will never pass up an opportunity to drag him

#the originals #elijah mikaelson #mostly the way he talks to marcel #who is also one of my faves #honestly their relationship makes me so upset #bc they were so close when marcel was a boy but elijah ruined it bc he didn’t want to stand in the way of klaus’ redemption #like babygirl!!! don’t do that!! #there was no reason for him to continue being a bitch to marcel in present day #and then!!! when they finally do start getting along he kills him bc of that stupid prophecy!!! #elijah mikaelson I hate you #he’s the worst and needs to shut up sometimes but also I would die for him #and this is why loving flawed characters is so fun

I meant to post this a while ago when it occurred to me, but— Y'know how it was pretty common fanon that Klaus Hargreeves would be on Team Pineapple Pizza, because a lot of us thought that just Felt Right™, so when S3 pulled a fast one and hit us with Klaus being anti-pineapple pizza, if not anti-pineapple in general, we were all surprised?

WELL.

My guess is that he has the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap. People with that gene are highly sensitive to aldehydes, which are of course in cilantro. Pineapple, as it turns out, is high in acetaldehyde.

In S1, Klaus complains that the taco vendor put cilantro on his taco... In S3, he complains about pineapple on his pizza... I love both cilantro and pineapple, so I can't weigh in from personal experience on whether or not the soapy gene makes people more likely to dislike both, but perhaps it is connected?

#soapy cilantro geners... inquiring minds would like to know: do you also hate pineapple? #the umbrella academy #klaus hargreeves #robert sheehan

Part of me would love for Umbrella!Ben to come back but I just know my heart would break for Sparrow!Ben, who would feel so jealous and hurt over Klaus and the others being excited about his return that he’d push them away to stop himself from getting hurt

#klaus wouldn’t let that happen though he’d immediately bring sparrow!ben over to umbrella!ben to introduce him #both bens would probably hate each other lmao #but they’d try to get along because they both love klaus #that’s their bonding moment #protecting klaus #the umbrella academy #tua #ben hargreeves #umbrella ben hargreeves #sparrow ben hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #ben and klaus #klaus and ben

POV: You just watched umbrella academy season 3 which absolutely butchers Allison's character development from both season 1 and season 2 erasing all the bonds she made with her siblings as she spends most of the season making horrible life decisions.

#I get that you are grieving girl #but the shit she pulled with Luther was absolutely unforgivable #I kinda hate that we just brush past that #i was really sad because i really loved Allison and Viktor's bond . #Klaus Viktor and Allison just chilling together was one of the best parts of season 2 to me #i really hope they do something better with her next season #I also hope Luther gets a proper apology not that it would solve anything but still #Emmy was as amazing as always though #netflix #the umbrella academy #tua #season 3 #spoilers #tua s3 #tua s3 spoilers #allison hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #luther hargreeves

Myel got two insane guys obsessed over him in the worst possible way and was like wow do i really have to choose. can't i just kiss both

#little man run away!! run away RN #well i would kiss both too btw #i love Myel Klaus et Stellan smmmm... don't ask about their relationship status btw #are they a canon trouple... only god knows #but i NEED to make the most romantic art of them just because. i can!!!! #which is fun because.. Klaus and Stellan hate each other so much and one of their reasons IS their obsession over Myel #but it just can't stop me from drawing them having gay sex #(ofc their relationship will change a lot but uh!! uh... for the better and the worse ig) #oc ramble ect... don't mind it

[thedevilsrain]

thank you @steakplissken for giving me the funniest possible idea for a crossover

#inm not putting this in the tags. its in our hearts now #in eroica. unlike the kgb who has regular characters the cia will just send random guys over because all of them hate klaus so much #...... so the plot: something something case and the cia is tired of sending their guys to bicker with klaus #so they just send columbo to piss him off #(ive never. seen columbo) #me art #not in the tag but #led zeppelin shoujo yaoi manga tag #i probably got their heights wrong. klaus would be like 20cm taller than columbo

I think it would be insanely funny if Umbrella!Ben and Sparrow!Ben interacted, like the potential of them interacting would have me in the stratosphere. I can literally see Brellie!Ben being his usual ghost bitch self and roasting his doppelganger in the first episode of season three and Klaus laughs at his words only for Sparrow!Ben to be like: “What’s so funny sundance?!” And Klaus doesn’t know how to say ‘the dead version of you- which i can see- thinks you look emo and is cursing you out’ without coming off insane and rude, so of course he says it in the most Klaus way possible, gets decked and Ben gets summoned and its a Horror Brawl, cue the music! (I’m going to keep 100%, Umbrella!Ben would win that fight, and scare Sparrow!Ben, only because while Sparrow!Ben has lived longer, is crueler and has a purposefully high body count, Umbrella!Ben is dead and can’t be killed but inflict so much damage, which would scare the Sparrow’s shitless.)

the overall response to stan is so wild. the number of people immediately complaining about his skin tone when he was introduced is baffling because?? instead of taking a second to consider this was on purpose, so we could draw our own conclusions about his parentage, you all just took things at face value, decided it was okay to hate this kid, and chalked it down to shitty writing and shitty cast directors. the fact that so many of you call stan annoying and unnecessary despite him 1. literally only existing in the story as a test for diego and not because they wanted a new character, 2. being exactly like klaus and diego, who are fan favorites last i checked, 3. literally seen having a shitty life with a mom who cares more about her next dick appointment than her son, 4. being 12!!! doing things 12 year olds do!!! being thrust into a new environment to escape his old one and then being ignored and pushed away by the people who were responsible for him!!! he’s a kid. he’s a lonely boy who wanted to help fight bad guys and have fun with his new family. he’s just a kid and it was heartbreaking when he died.

#just admit you’re like reginald and hate kids #stan tua #tua #tua spoilers #the umbrella academy #look if the guy who thought he was my dad showed me how to make a molotov cocktail at 12 hell yeah i would use it if saw people in danger #he was fucking TERRIFIED when he though he killed klaus. he learned his actions have consequences #stitchkiss

do you think elijah would have fallen for bonnie if she ended up with one of his siblings?

i assume you're asking because he was into hayley after she slept with klaus but she was never in a relationship with klaus. they had a one night stand. elijah's white knight ass just liked being the protector in that situation. we have never seen elijah fall for someone who was in an actual, genuine relationship with any of his siblings, whereas klaus and rebekah's codependent weird asses have done all types of weird shit.

elijah's irritating ass attitude towards his siblings' relationships are often dismissive, when he acknowledges them at all. if she's dating kol, she's just ignored until he needs her, because so is kol. if she's dating rebekah, she has the best chance of being treated well. if she's dating klaus, it depends on how he feels about klaus at the moment.

besides that, bonnie has historically been a nonfactor for elijah. he betrayed them and never said shit to her about it. he got her mother killed and wrote an apology letter to elena. as much as it's about elena is the protagonist, elijah literally did not care about anyone in the mystic falls gang besides her (not that i would expect him to?) whereas other characters have expressed an interest in at least one or two other members of the mfg while tormenting or helping them. not bonnie, not caroline, not the salvatores, not alaric, etc. i don't think her being an active part of his siblings' lives is going to change that if her being someone who tried to kill them, and came close to it, wouldn't.

if it's the scenario that bonnie is pregnant by klaus instead of hayley, i still don't think he's going to fall in love with her because he isn't going to get to play protector or have her thinking he can be her savior. bonnie doesn't need him, and more importantly, would not rely on him. if she had to rely on any mikaelson, it would be rebekah or klaus (begrudgingly). his focus would be on the baby, which would rub bonnie the wrong way, which would mean they would be even more distant than anything.

if their individual relationship became anything, it would be allies and maybe friends down the way once he starts treating her like her own person and not someone who can do something for klaus (and ergo, the family).

#idk where the idea comes from that elijah falls for the girls who date klaus #tatia liked him first/most #katherine was never a serious relationship to klaus #they both knew from jump he was going to sacrifice her #and hayley. nasty work at play #i'm ngl anytime someone talks about elijah with any of the mfg besides elena #you have to suspend your disbelief a little #he literally does not gaf about those people #hates damon for 95% of their interactions. liked stefan for a SPLIT second. #quite literally never holds a conversation with caroline. #only interacts with bonnie when she can do something for him #anyway. no <3 #i don't think bonnie and elijah would be romantic on either side ever #and good because she doesn't need that shit LMFAOOO let her fuck with one of the younger ones #klaus kol rebekah take ur pick #anti haylijah #i guess #i'm well aware you can make your own dynamics outside of canon #and that works (imo) for ships like klonnie and bonbekah and kennett (to some degree) #but bonnie and elijah just. does not make sense to me #especially when it's specifically a matter of replacing hayley and putting bonnie in that role #i didn't like it when it was hayley either LMAOOO #the ideal bonlijah circumstances for me would've been if she undaggered him instead of damon and they went from there #instead of making it a matter of her just. dating one of his siblings #elijah mikaelson #bonnie bennett #anti bonlijah #i guess???

Saw a tweet today saying that Klaus is and has always been Five’s favorite, not Viktor, just because Klaus and Five talked a lot and went on a road trip recently. Like yeah sure, Five and Viktor may have a more tense relationship now because of the apocalypses and not seeing each other for decades. But Viktor was definitely Five’s favorite and vice versa and the show provides a bunch of evidence that proves this such as the “sole confidante” comment in Viktor’s book, their silent conversation just before Five ran out, etc.

Conclusion: No “Five and Viktor were childhood besties theory” slander on MY watch, I will not accept it

#no hate to klaus tho #i just think the ‘five and klaus were always besties!’ idea comes from these two being fan favorites #and not from an actual understanding of the characters’ relationships #i also like the ‘theory’ that if five had never left #viktor would have been less miserable and therefore wouldve never caused an apocalypse #perfect tragedy #the umbrella academy #tua #number five #five hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #klaus hargreeves
