/r/TheOriginals
Obviously I know that Hope is going to live and I know from spoilers a long time ago that Klaus dies, I’m assuming most of the main characters die from just knowing about Klaus.
I just finished the wedding episode and all I could think that even tho what Hope is going through that Hayley would have not let Hope get drunk lol also I LOVE any moment I get to see Klaus be a good dad. He was robbed of most of Hopes life and to see them all just be a family is amazing and makes me cry so much. Maybe it’s because I’m a tad jealous of a show that revolves so much around always and forever when I don’t have that in my life but wish I could.
Anyway wish me luck as a scream cry for the next hour and a half
no hate to Danielle at all she is amazing. just food for thought.
I read on this reddit that a lot of people don't like Lucien as a character and I was just wondering why. Is it something to do with him being a villain so people naturally don't like him? Is it a personality trait that irks you? Is it that he's trying to unlink himself and kill the originals? Is it that he's liked Aurora all this time and you find that a bit wimpy/simpy?
Personally, he's my favourite character introduced in the Originals by a long shot and I'm super disappointed by the low amount of fanfics with him as a love interest and I might write some one day, but I'm very interested in what people find off putting about him which is why I've asked the question
I think they should’ve made 3 serums each for Aurora , tris , and Lucien that would’ve really made the Mikaelsons fear and actually run
They never told us, not even the Necromancer.
Do you think Aurora found peace? And met up with her brother?
Was anyone else hoping that Hope was going to bring Klaus back in the final episode and he and Caroline would finally be together? And she’d have her dad back?
I’m currently rewatching tvd after I rewatched TO. Bonnie is such a powerful character that is clearly mistreated. Never her own storylines or real love interests. While without her there would be no story line. I realised that the same happened to Marcel. His family always getting killed (Davina, his vampire family) or his story is to be greatful for Klaus cause he freed him. Marcellus bullshit. Without Marcel again no story!!! He gave the TO world depth with his divisions stuff and treaties. The whole dynamic between witches werewolves and vampires was based on him. Not that he was good. BUT he deserved main character storylines, love interests and screen time and more background into what he did in new orleans and screen time. The same for Vincent as well!!! Character was under appreciated compared to the his importance in the story. His wife being to one to unleash the hollow. These characters deserved more.
Sorry that was my little rant.
The original daggers made to dagger the Original family, could they be used to dagger enhanced vampire Alaric?
Does anyone think the hatred amongst the species to be a little annoying. Like the witches hating vampires, vampires vs werewolves. It fine but it gets old very quickly. I love Vincent but the way he talks about vampires is so annoying and quiet saint like.
The way in 3.10 he's like 'this is for your ancestors may they judge you harshly.' when he kills that witch when a few eps early he had Davina shunned for killing a witch. (I know that was intentional etc.)
I know its limited to New Orleans really because in other places we see them being friends. Mystic falls etc. But I find they way the talk about each species as if there not individual people. Like if your a witch friends with a vampire your some kind of species traitor like any random witch you there loyalty.
Also have this issue with the Sirelines. How are they at war. Elijah has the Strix and Klaus and Rebekah have who. Who are the Strix fighting against. Where is this sireline war?
For me, it was ‘You were never the recipient of his cruelty. None of you were; not Kol, not Finn, None of you!’
So I posted the same thing in the TVD sub, but I wanted to go in depth of the first book since it's mostly TO. So as I mentioned in my previous post, it's a book about Klaus and a fem OC. OC was a Wolf/Witch hybrid and descendant of The Hollow, making her Hayley's ancestor. She and the Mikaelson's were raised together since her father was the chief of the tribe of their village. She was madly in love with Klaus and even tried manipulating him into falling in love with her with a love spell and then compulsion (But Esther removed said compulsion.)
Then as a peace offering, the chief wanted to marry OC to Klaus which caused a fight between the two families, and Finn found out that Klaus and OC were already hooking up. A few weeks after the ceremony, OC revealed that she was pregnant out of jealousy after Klaus kissed Tatia (Which Klaus was not happy about since he was 18 and OC was 16.)
This was also why Mikael resented the child because she was to be monstruous like her mother and weak like her father, prompting Mikael to force Klaus in delivering the baby. They named her Annabelle and two months later, Henrik died, starting the chain of events leading to their transformation. This prompted the witch Ayana to turn OC into a vampire of her own and OC lost her witchcraft abilities, but became a hybrid along with Klaus.
They lived together for a time, but when they moved to Europe, Klaus had an affair with Aurora, killed OC's sister, and OC had a miscarriage which caused them to split and OC left with Annabelle until they were found by Mikael and Anna killed a crowd of compelled people using her dark magic. OC and Klaus got back together but after an argument with Anna over them trying to turn her into a vampire, she runs off to her boyfriends house only to have her throat slit by her boyfriend as he believed that the only was to free her was by death.
OC was so upset that she killed his family and compelled the last living member, a small child, to run and forget. Klaus was so upset by this that they ran off again. In the 1100's they had another child, surprising them, and named him Charles. He became the first tribrid and they were now hunted for being the only ones of their kind. Their marriage got better and ultimately, in the late 1400's, they had the first tribrid twins.
To free him from his hybrid curse, he tried to use Katherine, which OC was against because the twins and Katherine were exactly the same age and for her, it reminded her of her daughter. Klaus didn't care, but Katherine wiggled her way out the deal. They continued going around and ultimately settled in New Orleans and had a daughter, Sofia, and a year or so later, adopted Marcel.
Sofia and Marcel grew close and they consider each other siblings. This was surprising since A, people were crazy racist at the time, and B, she was super clingy and did now want to be held by anybody other than Klaus or OC. But, they had to flee New Orleans because Mikael burned the place to the ground. Klaus and OC tried to live out normal lives and in the late 90's had another daughter, Sasha.
But after another threat to their safety, Klaus staked all him children in the summer of 2000 except for Sasha because she was a toddler. But when she would transform, he was going to stake her. Against this, OC snapped his neck and made her escape, bouncing from home to home in hopes of hiding from Klaus.
Now, the book starts in S3 of TVD, in which OC and Sasha are living with the Salvatore's when she finds out Klaus has returned and forced Stefan to bow under his will (Something like that.) She tries to kill him at first, but Mikael betrays them and she focuses on finding the caskets of her children. After they are able to take the caskets, during a heated dinner argument, she unstakes them with Elijah's help, all behind Klaus' back. They try to act like a family but all children are equally hurt by what happened.
In S4, after Klaus saves Caroline while in Tyler's body and he leaves Rebekah and OC to be jailed, OC and Klaus have an argument which ends in them having sex. Hayley then arrives and finds out that OC is her ancestor and she is a Labonair. When they finally have a sense of normalcy, Silas comes back from the dead and reveals that OC is pregnant. OC goes back to New Orleans after a scared Klaus runs away (Like, literally.) Alone and pregnant with triplets, she gets hexed by Sophie Deveraux, kicking off TO.
All the meanwhile, Elizabeth and Thomas take place as Davina's guardians as they try to save Elijah, and Anna comes back to life after possessing Sasha and ultimately, revealing where her body is and making the transfer. They're all trying to protect themselves from the French quarter coven until Genevieve and others try to use OC and the babies for the reaping, stabbing OC in the neck and temporarily killing her until Hayley saves her by removing the knife and being healed by her father on the other side. After OC and the Mikaelsons save the triplets, she and Klaus names them Hope, Heath, and Henry, giving them away to Rebekah for safety.
S2, OC enters a funk since she can't have her kids to herself and she kills Francesca Guerrera among some witches, egged on by Klaus. But she snaps out of it when she finds out that Anna is alive and that the triplets need her help. After getting back the babies, Charles reveals he has a daughter with a girl that Klaus and OC raised in the 50's. (A relationship everybody was against.)
I'm 63 chapters in and right now, they're dealing with the return of Freya and Dahlia and having to defend them from the two generations of firstborn magic, along with having the first and last tribrid triplets in history. It's messy, it's long and there's much more. All you have to do is read.
Also, as I mentioned in my last post, this is one of 3 books. This is the first, the second being a TVD fanfiction with Damon Salvatore and the third book taking place in Legacies as both worlds collide. If you need any reference points for the book, just look this post up and you'll find my lore. Hope you read this. Comment: "Klaus' bloodbag" if you did.
Early on in season one while Elijah’s still in a box Hayley comes within a hair’s breadth of doing a DIY abortion- and you know what? Good for her. But she chooses not to and five* seasons of hilarity ensue. But what would Elijah have thought about this?
Elijah’s a self described feminist but he also places a great amount of value on Klaus’s biological child to fix him (because as we all know it’s not like adopting changed him for the better). So if Hayley did get an abortion, how would he react?
*9 seasons including Legacies
I mean, I get it, Klaus death it's necessary. BUT WHY DID THE WRITERS KILL ELIJAH, HAYLEY AND JOSH IN THE SAME SEASON? What was the reason for it?
Does anyone else feel like Sofya is just the budget version of Aya?
It’s like once they killed Aya off, they brought in a new skilled, ancient vampire to fill her role.
I think it would have been more interesting if they kept Aya instead, and she would have been the advisor for Marcel instead for season 4 and ultimately be the one possessed by the hollow. Marcel and her already had great chemistry together in my opinion earlier on in season 3, as well as Aya already having history with the all the Mikaelsons. I feel like lit would have made much more sense.
Also, it would have been more interesting in terms of the love triangle with Marcel and Rebekah; as Rebekah and Aya already had an established rivalry, whereas Sofya and Rebekah had no interactions apart from when Sofya crossbowed from behind.
I think everyone agrees that this is the worst possible choice. I made this mistake, I was crying. God, how the ending of The Originals can break anyone. And then... Well, I wanted to see the sequel of all this. To understand if the sacrifice had really been worth anything. But Legacies was a stab at The Originals' legacy.
This one moment in the entire series lives rent free in my head. Eight years since I first watched it. Perhaps the most powerful definition of love here.
