When people call out Elijah’s women of color girlfriends who were thrown away I just have to praise them because the fandom doesn’t say shit about those women. Elijah had all these women and there’s zero acknowledgement after the fact. Justice for Aya, Celeste, and Gia forever.

Many things said in this article I read today I’ve said it here before but incase anybody else wants to read. See here. Things they go over Marcel’s mistreatment, how disposal black witches are in canon etc

Hayley's character (Taylor's version)

I'm not even a Taylor swift fan, but I think the title works!

I felt like Hayley lost her character. I really do like Hayley. Even though she isn't an original. I believe she did deserve a storyline of her own. At least a character arc. I know Hayley's change in character could've been motherhood. But they never really focused much on it. I've written a character arc template for her.

TVD Hayley Marshal was a kid looking for her family. She lived alone. She didn't mind doing bad things. Hayley was even smug about it in the vampire diaries, but who can blame her. At times, I thought the main cast was annoying with all their rainbow stickers and frequent "accidents". It is rather poetic the person she came to to give her information about her family becomes her family. I'll give them that. However, in the Originals, her arc should've been her realizing, no matter how badass she may think she is, The Mikaelson's- The originals are way worse. And then carry on with her written character. The writers could've simply done this by her doing questionable things- which she does in the first season, by putting Oliver against a wall , planting a seed of doubt in Davina, Going out to the 'doctors' when the Mikaelson's told her not to, or threatening Sophie Devereux. Keep those scenes but completely erase all this talk about Hayley being good, or hinting that she's good. Let the Mikaelson's plan something horrendous, and Klaus just expects her to go with it. And write a scene where he sees her hesitate, and he says something along the lines of "I thought you of all people would be ok with this." And after her child is born. Her depressive episodes would've made so much sense. Not that it doesn't make sense, "I don't want to live like this, Elijah" would be a great end to her character arc. As in Taylor's version we see her unravel instead of completely snap. Seems more thought out. Hayley did die and turn into a hybrid. Season two continues, I think this is when they should've invested in Haylijah. Elijah sees Hayley broken as a vampire and tries to help her. They should've let Elijah try to help, and let them be in a relationship after shortly, and then Hayley and Elijah break up because Elijah didn't tell her he loved her. We got Klaus to help her , so I'm good with my Klayley moments. I'm just saying they should've stoped Just completely break Haylijah off at the very start of the season, and the entire Jackson thing is fine. But Her and Jackson don't get married till' 2/3rds of the season. . Then start the Gialijah relationship towards the end and Gia dies at the end of season two due to Dhalia's plan.(We'd change how she dies but she still dies in the name of Dhalia) Hayley then stays her regular character in seasons three to five. Personally, I like Klayley, so let's add it. It can easily be written after Jackson dies, Both Hayley and Klaus could have an arc relating to wolves and taking care of their child. And she did die at the end of season five. As a vampire too, which was cruel. I don't know what Julie Plec has with orphans, but she seems to love to write them. Do you guys think she should also die in Taylor's version?

out of curiosity what did you think of to? did you like it? who were your fav/least fav ships and characters?

hi anon !! tbh yeah i did (s5 notwithstanding)

as for my least favourite/ favourite ships and characters, I remember liking haylijah when i first watched it- and i do still think they had chemistry but now i find that relationship just very random and slightly problematic tbh.

not even because of my elejah fixation (gialijah was a slay but i’ll get to that later), hayley is essentially elijah’s problematic tool to his family and brothers redemption aswell as a textbook example of someone who needs protecting (and elijah’s insane saviour complex just latched into it). it never really feels like either character is completely honest about who they are to eachother and both of them idealise the other to the extreme.

for hayley, that’s seeing elijah as this perfect white knight and ignoring the fact that’s he’s a slutty serial killer with intense familiar issues and for elijah that’s refusing to ever really see hayley as a whole person.

that being said they’re both hot as fuck so go them for that.

I essentially have all the same problems with klamille, however i do think that both cami and that relationship is severely overhated by *cough cough* klarolines.

klaus falling in love with a women he compelled to be his therapist is so heavy with gross mommy issued irony i’d need a whole other post just to get into it but,,, (feel free to send a separate ask bc that’s it’s own thesis statement)

that being said i cried more when she died than i did any other tvdu scene she deserved sm and i did enjoy their dynamics at times.

as for things i did like,,

hayley in general, i’m a gen z australia girl- pheobe tonkin can literally do no wrong even though i don’t think hayley ever manages to become a fully fledged character.

davina !! severely underrated. served klaus anti cunt and i loved it.

gia!! deserved sm better. really was one of the only elijah relationships that actually made sense to me completely and i think the show moved on from her death way too quickly.

elijah in general, specifically s2/3. while i dislike the way the show handled him in the run to klaus’ redemption (essentially massacring his basic intelligence to prop klaus up) i do think his more brutal/ cunt moments where stellar. i especially enjoyed when the show was honest about how actually unhinged he is, another reason i dislike haylijah. he’s not the easter bunny, he’s not the families morality, not always. he’s a bitch and unlike hayley im aware and love him anyway.

the flashbacks! i’m endlessly confused by the choice to spin off with a baby plot line, the most interesting parts of to to me where seeing the family in the past and i feel like it would’ve been a much better choice to have the show act almost as a prequel maybe with one foot in a less stakes present day storyline also centred around nola.

hope!! despite thinking the baby plotline is weird, the families relationship with her was cute.

basically,, i liked it and i’m far more likely to rewatch it than tvd

A little something for my Gilijah lovers out there, because it's a crime how little attention these two get in the fandom.

Be warned: this is actually just porn, i cannot be fucked with plot right now.

How many years later and I’m still bitter about how dirty the Originals did Gia. So much potential wasted.

#gia #file under characters that deserved better #the originals #not the only woman of color they pulled that shit with #I’m bitter about Sophie #about Aya #about Celeste #bitter I tell you #but gia really got some bullshit she didn’t deserve #and nishi is such a gem #anyway I’m mad about it today #gilijah #gialijah #I accidentally deleted this post and had to restore it wtf lol #I’m still mad

[wearesociety]

okay but imagine gilijah and klonnie on double dates

so late but literally think about all the time. Klonnie is definitely the late couple and Elijah is literally trying to get Gia out the door.

How fun would a karaoke date be? Bonnie and Gia laughing as the Mikaelson brothers make fools of themselves >>>>>

What are your top 5s in anything TVDU related? (Characters, ships, friendships, familial bonds, episodes, etc.)

Ooh, my first question. Thank you for asking!

Even though I've watched tvd first, but I prefer the originals to it. So, my answer is going to be mostly about them.

I'm going to do the characters separately.

First, characters from T.O

Elijah Mikaelson (because he was the calm before the storm, I don't know how to describe him, he was just so resilient and holding onto his brother when the entire world could only see a monster in him, and for all his complex layers.) and Hayley Marshall (because she was a BAMF, the best mother you could have) fighting for first place, but none of them can win.

Camille O'Connell because she was such a ray of sunshine. (Caroline stans do not come at me, this is about two characters who have literally never met.)

Freya Mikaelson was such a badass.

Klaus Mikaelson because he had the best retorts and sarcasm.

Gia because she was so down to earth about everything. (Putting her after Klaus feels so wrong lmao.)

Now, Tvd characters. I can't conjure any explanation for them.

Caroline Forbes

Enzo St. John

Stefan Salvatore

Rayna Cruz

Rose from S2

Ships.

Haylijah, because have you seen them? The chemistry, the compatibility, the love and all the respect. (S5 never happened.)

Bonenzo because they were so good together, and Enzo actually loved Bonnie and didn't spend his time using her.

Klamille, because Camille could see beyond 'evil Klaus' and understood him like no one else ever did, and Klaus saw so much light in her, and he cared about her.

Steroline because they were also good together.

Gialijah because they had so much chemistry and there was just something about them

Friendships.

Caroline & Enzo, because he stepped up for her and they had something special about them.

Camille & Vincent, because they related to one another after all damage they got because of the Mikaelson family, and they made something good out of it.

Freya & Hayley because they spent years together raising Hope, and they bonded so well.

Stefan and Lexi because they do supportive besties better than anyone.

Bonnie and Damon because they have managed to go from sworn enemies to best friends.

Familial bonds.

Hayley and Hope. No one does mother and daughter better than them.

Elijah and Rebekah. We saw so many times how Elijah cared for her and how she looked up to him. I believe he was her favorite brother, even if the show wanted to make us believe it was Klaus.

Marcel & Davina. They're not family by blood, but the way he was her family more than her real family and tried to protect her meant so much.

Elijah and Hope. We did not get much of them, but they had so much potential. If the show didn't completely destroy Elijah to redeem Klaus, we might have seen him be the best uncle out there.

Freya/ Rebekah and Hope. These aunt/niece relationships were so good. Rebekah cared for her for months, and kept her safe, and Freya raised her with Hayley and taught her so much.

Finding episodes that I genuinely love from beginning to end is difficult.

TO S2E9: The Map of Moments. We had family, we had bickering and we had love.

TVD S3E14: Dangerous Liaisons. We had a ball straight out from a fantasy, do I need to say more?

TO S1E20: A Closer Walk with Thee. It was not a happy episode, but we had our first Haylijah kiss, and it's good enough to be in my top 5.

TO S5E8 : The Kindness of Strangers. As much as I hated S5, but this episode was so good. We saw the Mikaelson family reunited, and every time I watch Elijah break down after remembering Hayley's death, I can't help but cry.

TO S1E1: Always and Forever. This feels like such a basic answer, but I love this episode. It was the beginning of an epic tv show, and it's just so nostalgic.

These are the ones you mentioned, and I can't for the life of me think about anything else to rank. Anyway, I am awkward most of the time, and it includes this answer. So, don't judge me too harshly!

I'm trying to sleep when I realise WHY exactly it is that I can't stand Hayley and Elijah together

It's because they're boring as hell Individually, I like Elijah (before TO season 4) and I like Hayley (in TO season 3&4) but together... They bring absolutely nothing new to the table? They are vanilla and dull and plain. They're exactly the same as every single couple and every single RomCom to ever exist. Elijah's been retconned into an anti-feminist, abusive dick to support the storyline of Hayley's "empowering woman arc" and Hayley's "empowering woman arc" has been stunted for seasons upon seasons as her only ever storyline before now has revolved around men (primarily Elijah). They're characters actually do better without the relationship involved, which would be more entertaining if the relationship was actually interesting, but it's just... not? It's just not worth it.

[fcmilybonded]

i think one of the reasons i love gilijah so much is???? just how well they fit together?? gia does NOT expect or want elijah to take care of her. elijah who takes care of everyone. she doesn’t go along with his... ‘you are my responsibility’ stuff and that enables elijah to actually relax? instead of being the Responsible In Charge Take Care person he can just be himself? and gia also calls him out on his bullshit. when he does his ‘this is what we’re doing no arguments’ sorta thing, she calls him out. she won’t take orders. they gotta be adults and have an adult conversation about it.

he teaches her to survive as a vampire. he teaches her control. she teaches him how to live. she teaches him how to chill.

and an extra bit under the cut

1. height difference 2. in the words of tina; he’s all prim and proper and she’s REBEL. the IMAGARY.

#⚜️ i'll probably be awake to 3am for no reason // ooc #⚜️ needed a woman to mess things up for you // gia x elijah #it's 2am and i'm crying about gialijah #listen if elijah's canon ship all through the seasons had been gilijah i would have been so happy #(as long as the writers didn't screw it up) #bc as much as i love haylijah?? gilijah owns my heart

[cancerian-woman]

sometimes you have to accept delusion because Elijah and Gia are very happy playing the piano & violin together right now.

#gialijah #gilijah #Gia the originals #elijah mikaelson #the originals

[dontbeallupinmyfriesdawg]

Elijah & gia (the originals)

Well, preferably Gia wouldn’t have died. I’d have her be on vervain so that Klaus could compel her to kill herself. Instead, she’d hatch a plan with Marcel after telling him Klaus tried to compel her and they’d attack Klaus at the last second before he attempted to make Elijah watch her die.

Then Gialijah would run away together.

THE END
