Thoughts on my favorite sociopath:
I’ve been thinking about why Kai’s trauma and abusive family dynamics were so little explored or acknowledge in TVD. I realized that his trauma is tied to themes of prejudice. He was discriminated against by his own family for his siphoning abilities.
I was watching a breakdown of TVD on YouTube and they mentioned the racial dynamics of the Bennetts in the Civil War era Mystic Falls, but rushed past it saying that the show deals with vampire drama & supernaturals so it wouldn’t have time to touch on racial issues or prejudice. I couldn’t disagree more. The show touches on real life issues all the time: drug addiction (directly with Jeremy in season 1 and Stefan with his blood lust), the Mikealsons are textbook generational trauma (they kinda touch on prejudice that Klaus experienced as a bastard child with a werewolf daddy), and Liz deals with cancer in season 6 that can’t be cured with magic, to name a few. That being said, the plot deals with real life issues that the writers deem relevant, so they easily could have touched on issues of discrimination through Bonnie (and the Bennetts in general) and Kai Parker! Whether they would have done a good job at this is another convo, but the writers shouldn’t get a pass from dodging these relevant issues bc there’s supernatural stuff going on…
Back to Kai, there is a deleted scene in S6E15 where Kai is shown in a vulnerable light. I think this was deliberately cut bc Plec wants us to view Kai as fully irredeemable. Damon, Stefan, and Klaus have killed innocent people at random for much less and they are redeemable (plus they have many more victims).
Kai should have been redeemed. I don’t think he is inherently evil. His demons are born from intense prejudice-based abuse that he suffered from his whole life. When comparing these villains, it’s important to note that violence for the sake of ego, paranoia, or careless noms is not the same as a victim reacting to the trauma imposed on them.

Julie Plec and convenient diversity 🙃
Okay so when I found out they chose a British guy to play Dimitri I was a bit upset but in a super chill way cause 1)he looks fantastic 2) British accent kinda reminds me of Russian so I thought they not gonna have any problems with working on it.
Then my Tumblr friend made a post and I found out they erased that part of him. TV show Dimitri is not Russian anymore. I was kinda confused cause 1)then why would he have a Russian name👀 2)what about the fact that Rose spends the whole book in Russia, what about Roza, what about half of their jokes😟
BUT TODAY 🤡I FOUND OUT 🤡WHAT THAT PIECE OF HUMAN 🤡SAID ABOUT THAT CHANGE 🤡
Okay it's not a literal quote but it's almost it:
Dimitri is not Russian anymore, you'll be fine with it when you learn more about that amazing man playing his role.......It was important for us to convey the spirit of modernity, to show today's world with all the diversity of its cultural idiosyncrasies. Accent, origin and race do not matter because we are all part of the same community.
That clown living her clown life 🎪
Okay let's see
So she put 1) diversity is important, we all different and it's cool to show it AND 2)why diversity if we're the same person? 🥺 IN ONE FUCKING SENTENCE?!?!????!
Julie Plec literally said: OF COURSE diversity is important, we have Black Americans! Latins, Chinese guys...or not Chinese, I mean asian people = only Chinese right? And of course ...*whispers* I can't remember more..... um.....what? Turks? what is it? Turkey? Like ...Turkey on Thanksgiving day?🥺Yeah? Russian? Russia... sounds familiar where is it👀ugh nevermind some white dudes, they sound like British anyway
I forgot to mention I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THE CAST they're babies and they do the best they can, their acting is the reason I watched that trailer✋they just do their job and do it perfect
I have BIG ISSUES with creators of this show
⚠️Before some of you start with your American "um bitch u know dat black people live in Turkey and British people live in Russia and Latin people live in Romania" I'll say: they definitely MIGHT live there, tho I've never seen anything like this in any of these countries (I live in one of them and I've been in two others
But after Dimitri being a British announcement, there's no way Rose is Turkish. No fucking way. No one actually cares about the diversity. Diversity is a thing ONLY when it comes to people who live in America.
When people from Turkey, Russia, Romania even slightly open their mouth EVERYONE SHUTS THEM UP with "um....white dudes talking again 😴we have Black and Asian people, others don't actually exist👁️👄👁️)
If you think that "WOW we have a cool beautiful black girl as a lead, finally some good fucking food, finally a WELL WRITTEN WOMAN OF COLOR"
no think again😍you really believe that a woman who thought "ugh....idk all of these Turkish and Russian....ugh language, traditions are so hard🥺" will MAKE AN EFFORT?! To write a proper black lead girl? Seriously? I have some news
If you look at the cast and think "we have a proper diverse cast! That's so great! Different cultures were so important in the books, I'm sure tv show creators will explore this topic even deeper" you're poor innocent silly soul, that's who you are.
👉🏻IT'S NOT ABOUT AN "AdApTaTiOn" IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE BOOKS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO, BUT THEIR LITTLE DAMAGE BRAINS CAN'T COME UP WITH THEIR OWN NEW UNIQUE STORY (and even when they can, it's so fucking bad, no one wants to watch it), SO THEY TAKE A POPULAR TITLE AND MAKE THEIR OWN SHIT PRETENDING IT'S ALL THE SAME CAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHANGE CHARACTERS NAMES. 👈🏻
And a little reminder how people look outside of England and the USA for my beloved Julie Plec and people saying "real diversity is here, who needs these white guys on the screen" (Turkish, Romanian, Russian)

There’s something to be said for creating new storylines and switching up the plot, especially so it’s more digestible for television. 
It’s another thing to alter the plot so completely for “shock value” that it becomes something else entirely. And to change the characters’ personalities to the point where they are unrecognizable and quite frankly unlikeable at times.
I found it very easy to “go with the flow” and just be along for the ride during the first 7 or so episodes.
But these plot holes are exhausting and the lack of cohesion and closure for plot points they brought forth is annoying and make it difficult to enjoy the show.
I hope we get a season 2, and hope that the writers have more time to make quality plot lines while staying true to the characters we adore so much as fans. I have no doubt that it can be done, but they need to focus and stop trying to shock us every 10 minutes.

nooo but like imagine if she had sported that lovely hairdo at the prom ep "pictures of you" or in 3x14 at the mikaelsons' ball it would have been so perf
BONNIE BENNETT DESERVED TO GO TO THE MIKAELSON BALL * I scream at J.plecs house through a mega phone*
The degree of disservice done to both Kat and Bonnie has been said many times before by better people than me but it really is ridiculous.

Ayo i wrote some hizzie garbage 🗑 im both sleep deprived and tired of life so whatevr have at it wolves.
Its not good so lol but this tag is dead af so idk
Also dodie is sad af
~i can finally see ~
"I dont understand how you always manage to choose her side josie" im enraged beyond what i thought i could ever possibly be and my naive idiot little sister doesnt manage to get it through her thick little skull. Mikaelson is gone.
"No lizzie YOU dont understand, shes just lost she needs us now more than ever! How can you not see that?!" Shes been at this for the past 20 minutes and quite frankly its getting old.
"Jo, all i see is our dearest dad finally finding out the prodigal daughter is just an evil coniving bitch" i see josie flinch at the dry humor but i no longer care.
~youre as fucked up as me~
Josie gets up and walks out of the room, before she exits she turns to me "I get that youre hurt lizzie but you need to remember why hope even resorted to this in the first place. She gave up her life and landons life just to make sure everyone else would be ok." I can see that bringing up landon hurts my sister there are tears in her eyes and im so tired of everyone bringing up deceased bird boy, since he will probably just find a way to come back anyway.
"Yeah well maybe we can go ask dad if we should forgive hope then!" I yell but shes already left and my snark is useless and i feel so frustrated i could tear my hair out.
~so how do we win?~
Josie has once again taken upon herself to go chasing after our long lost tribrid trying to find a way to help her or whatever. I know just the way to help hope.
Cleo sowande is my very own personal hero right now.
~brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth~
Im driving from dead end to dead end and all i can manage to think about is hopes stupid evil "im a Mikaelson fear me" face and scoff
The balls on this bitch.
I pull up on a trail i picked up and the feeling of this dive bar is more unsettling than the last. I walk in and instantly feel the need to relieve my stomach of its contents.
Theres body parts and blood everywhere. Some guys head chopped off by a pool table. Brutal i dont even know how nobody has been in here to clean up the mess. Oh a concealment spell nice to know she cares about some things i guess. She could have at least lit the place on fire.
~im sick of losing soulmates so where do we begin?~
"Why would i burn my own room down Lizzie"
"With my family history im not exactly immune to those issues. I would never say that stuff about you"
I scoff remembering that and for some reason the back of my throat feels tight.
Josie may be right she might need help, but i cant find it in me to see the same girl thats understanding and i have grown to begrudgingly tolerate to be the one leaving a trail of bodies up and down the coast.
She mauled my dad whats stopping her from doing the same to the rest of us.
And i might have grown to love her too but josie is too soft to do what needs to be done.
Someone has to stop her.
~time and hearts will wear us thin so which path will you take~
Tumblr media
I dont know what the fuck possessed me to say that idiocy. Impending death? Minute insanity? I can see the little gears in her tiny evil head turning
Theres a spark of someone i used to know flicker through her eyes.
And i see it the moment the hurt flashes in her mind what she went through to get to this point. I see her intent
The resolve. To end me. What did i expect?
Tumblr media
Some sick twisted voice in my head tells me to keep going and see if i can reach her.
I slowly try to approach her and my voice is cracking i dont even know what im saying anymore
I see it in her eyes whatever hope was left is gone
Ironic
Before she has a chance to snap and as soon as i feel her hands wrap around my neck i rush forward
I close my eyes and say fuck it.
God i must really be crazy.
Her lips are unmoving but still soft i must have caught her by surprise because im still alive so i press on and i can feel her reciprocrate for a second and theres relief in my heart that maybe this will all turn out ok. Due to an unconsensual kiss of all fucking things.
Its something i never really considered doing while i was on my way here but minute insanity must have won over my fried brain.
I sigh as i feel soft hands tighten around my neck and it all goes black
Thats going to be one awkward as fuck conversation when she realizes im not actually dead.
Whatever serves her right.
*insert dodie lyric cuz im cant be bothered to do it*
Tumblr media
+ lizzie wakes up and is super cool about it while hope is a crying mess on the floor cuz she killed this bombshell and sassy lizzie is everything.

Yknow, Bonnie being the anchor really should have been her superpower. Being a corporeal ghost is OP as fuck, actually. Already dead, so completely immune to any form of harm. No need to eat, or sleep, or do anything she doesn’t want to do. Also? She should have been able to fucking teleport. Ghosts can materialize wherever they want. Also, she’s dead. Meaning she should have been able to cast spells without limits. Season 5 could have been her season. Instead, it was just more torture porn for the Bennett witch, big fucking surprise

does anyone else cry over the fact that Klaus never got to take his daughter trick or treating and all the other million things he never got to do with her while she was growing up and will never get to do with her?

I just read an article where Julie Plec talked about keeping the VA love interests canon…for now.
She said that she may switch things up in the future.
If she touches Romitri I will 🔪 a bitch.

Choosing NOT to read into Julie saying she was so tempted to remove the Dimitri and Tatiana moment but she couldn’t because “it’s important for later”.
