#what daddy issues does to a mf apparently

[noel-levine-fan]

i feel like the scene where charlotte tells noel she feels bad for him and how she thinks his devotion is like a curse is very telling. because she knows what it's like to throw away your life for someone. to determine that your entire existence is relative to them instead of existing as your own.

but more than that, considering she knows enough about his life to at least know he had a bad enough life to justify becoming a hater, i'm sure she knows why he had to become that way. she knows that he's like this because he too, was a discarded child not deemed worthy enough to exist (for charlotte, her parents left her to die, and for noel, he was was seen as disposable and forcibly erased), neither was old enough or had enough support from anyone else to find a way to cope so both needed to find someone else to determine them their value, to which they attached to and saw as the source of their worth. the difference is that one found someone who abused the self-worth-issues-induced-devotion and the other was lucky enough to find someone who actually cared. (i imagine noel could've easily fallen into an exploitative relationship the way charlotte had though.)

but maybe worse than that, charlotte at least had the self respect to be mad that she was treated as disposable, but noel is so far gone that the outlook of the other person doesn't even matter to him. (well, it does psychologically, but he'd still nearly kill himself for someone who he thinks hates him, ex. sirius.) and despite this behavior clearly having developed out of a need to have someone determine his worth, he constantly isolates himself from that person and thinks the best choices are the ones that don't lead to him ending up by her side (even if he's obviously sad about that), and i think this really bothers charlotte -

that not only did he form the same attachment she did, not only would he continue being devoted even if the relationship got fucked, he's the one actively fucking it over and won't even admit that he wants to have a life with her even though he obviously does. charlotte sees someone who has someone who actively cares about him, but still decides to make himself disposable for her. so to her, the first few steps are very similar to what happened to her, but the last few steps seem like an entirely self inflicted version of that pain. which i think is why she tells him to just indulge in his desire to be with her, albeit in the most unhinged way he could possibly indulge that.

i doubt noel really... sees the reason that charlotte sympathizes. like, he probably doesn't know what she's been through. but like... i feel they exist in such a similar trajectory to each other.

but even more ironically, charlotte is... still devoted to someone. i wouldn't say it's the same, i don't think this is a case in which the devotion determines her own self-worth, but it almost feels ironic to see charlotte laugh about these things, laugh about caring, laugh about loving, when she feels a knowingly pointless devotion to someone too, someone who will never notice and is not equipped to return it. that she'll put herself at knowingly ultimately pointless risk just out of her love for lime. and it just makes me feel like these characters reflect each other even more.

[sortagaysortahigh]

I have every raging thought and I’m so glad to have someone to SCREAM with

What the actual fuck was the editing? The twilight blue tint was appalling, and I swear the whole season looked like something I coulda shot and edited on my iPhone??

and the plot and dialogue??????? I wanna die it was so bad. Character annihilation, plot holes so wide I could drop a mf shrimping boat inside… and somehow the boat would still make it out since apparently they expect me to believe THAT boat took them to Morocco ??? 😂

JJ’s storyline was the most out of pocket thing like what do you MEAN luke abused him all those years while his real dad pretended he didn’t exist??? what do you MEAN he had all this character growth just to be made into the most annoyingly irresponsible person just so they could get rid of him later anyway??

WHY ALL THE DADDY ISSUES BRO

EVERYTHING YOU AAID IA RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SCREAM IT FROM THE GOD DAMN ROOFTOPS!!!!!!

THE EDITING WAS HORRIBLE HORRIBLEEE!!!

Im ngl the plot was so lackluster i was zoning out snd doing other shit while the show played as background noise 😭😭😭 i was there for rafe cameron atp!!!! Idek what his plotlime was, sum about being betrayed by his gf or some shit idk it was lame as hell!!!

Jombee and Sarahs weird ass pregnancy storyline?? Very wattpad circa 2015!

Pope??? WHY CANT MY BABY BE HAPPY AND GO TO FUCKING COLLEGE!! STOP DRAGGING HIM DOWN YOU LOSERS!!!!!!

Cleo??? Love her down but shes had lile ZERO character development since she was first introduced. I feel like they threw her in just to be another fully black character so fans (like me 😩) would stop bitching ab the lack of actual diversity on screen. Like all my girl does is be a criminal, like pope (valid), and get caught up in the same situations over and over again. Like DO BETTER!!!!

JJ??? Girl a MESS! THEY RUINED HIS CHARACTER!!! Like i get whats his face wanted yo leave the show but idk send that man to prison or something, dont half ass kill him off!!!!! Or idk GIVE HIM A REAL REDEMPTION ARC INSTESD OF HAVING HIM BE WRECKLESS AND DIE!!!!!!!!

Also once again?? Rafe cameronis so fine!

why this username?: haa well the thing is this username is kinda a result of my fucked up reading skills and the need for a permanent name across platforms. so yeah, my previous username was hagane-no-shiro (god that was a goddamn smart username, i still mourn it sometimes) while i was a voltron blog but after some time i wanted to make it a personal blog and was brainstorming for a username when i talked with my uncle who’s a gamer and he told me that he uses the name proteus across his online gaming accounts to stay consistent and i was like aha, this is what i need and i went on a list of female ancient greek names. one of them was adrasteia and i liked it the most. however, i read it as adastreia instead, and ended up liking the misread version better so i went with that. 12 is my favorite number so when the username adastreia alone wasn’t available i slapped a 12 at the end and voila. adastreia-12

[hayleymarshalldaily]

Gigi / other admins what are your predictions for TO season five, like honest predicitions not unrealistic ones? also why do you carry on the blog when you say you no longer like the show?

My (Gigi) honest opinions are here:

First and foremost I predict this is the last. I don’t think they’ll have another season, and I think the writers will be aware they’re writing their last.

Unnecessary teen drama fuelled by daddy issues with Hope because her father never picked up the phone despite breaking the rules and visiting Elijah (lord don’t get me started) and first love boyfriend drama with Roman. First two/three episodes will jump around with different locations including the school but i think by episode four they’ll all be home in new orleans (I’m predicting now Roman will die, probably similarly to Jackson in that he died because he was too close to a member of the family.)

I suspect they’ll have Hayley either go with “I never stopped loving you Elijah” or ‘learn’ to love the new Elijah, or just be plain over the battery, I’m a bit 50/50 on how quickly they’ll get his memories back. I have a feeling Elijah will have a new love interest who will fail to hold his attention once Hayley is back in his life or he gets his memories back, I suspect Hayley may also have a new LI who will have 30 seconds screentime total and will also be ditched in favour of H/E. We’ll probably learn little about what Hayley’s been doing in the past decade or so, she prolly wont have a job or have picked up a new hobby and they’ll once again make out like every waking moment was spent trying to get the mikaelsons together again and she just didn’t have timeeee for herself (or they’ll make out like she aint even bothered because that wouldn’t surprise me either with the way nobody including hayley fought to keep them all together at the end of last season)

I suspect we’ll have minimal Rebekah as per season 2/3 due to the fact Claire’s new series got picked up to order, I think we might have Kol/Davina drop in together every now and then, depending on when Danielle wants to film. (Though even if she was completely free I dont think they’d ever bring them both to mains)

I’m monumentally disappointed with the lack of flashbacks this season, I really am, but with the cut down time I suspect there’ll be the same amount in s5, then again if Klaus really does return back to how he used to be due to losing Hope (literally and figuratively), maybe we’ll get some more so they can draw comparison. Josh will probably be the same as he was this season as well, they’ll make a reminder that he has a boyfriend or something and then never show the guy again, then he’ll be used randomly as/when to fit plans. We’ll prolly have a couple of shots of Cami’s grave again so I suspect that’ll remain the same.

I predict that Rebel will have broken up by the first episode and Marcel will be back in New Orleans. (small chance they’ll break up in the first episode after realising that it just isn’t working out and they’ll make a show of Rebekah staying wherever they are at that moment and Marcel going home. I suspect Rebekah/Marcel will have been in a very tumultuous on/off again for the past 7/8 years) Rebekah will drop in when the drama starts and they need her for something, her and Marcel will gaze longingly and may have gotten it on again by the end of the season.

I suspect that Freya/Keelin will be ridiculously happy and soppy though Freya will feel guilty over how long her family have been separated. Keelin will comfort her and that will lead to more soppy stuff. The writers have made it v clear they’re all in for this relationship to be happy and not end so there’s really not that much to ‘predict’ with this one.

Hope will probably have Bonnie/Davina level powers that she’s still not got amazing amounts of control over due to the sheer level of power she has. Will probably lose control a lot.

Vincent... idk about Vincent, he’ll prolly have his own sideplot that’ll link into the main somehow. Same goes for Marcel, I dont really know where they’d go with him.

I think The Hollow plot will be solved by episode 2 and then the s5 villain will problem will take root in episode 3, like in this season just passed, where season 3′s problem was solved at the end of episode 2 and then the hollow came in and messed it up for them when they finally thought they were gonna be okay.

Klaus... I’m with everyone else they’ll probably have Klaus with an old edge to him because he’s feeling bitter that once again he’s had to give up his child in order for his family to be okay, and for all he has had growth in the past couple of years, this is klaus we’re talking about, it *will* get to him deep down that his family get to go off and basically be perfectly happy with their partners and elijah gets to unburden himself of them all but he gets jack shit and cant be with Hope once again.  But then again we were told to expect Klaus with PTSD from the dungeon and he had a total of one scene where we saw the effects of that so whoooo knows if they’ll make it effect him. 

Depending on what capacity they get Candice I suspect they’ll have Caroline be the light in his life again or whatever when he can finally go near Hope again and he don’t know how to act they’ll have Caroline act like she knows her better than anyone else since she’s been her teacher (yeah the vampire teaching the witch, okay, whatever, moving on) and will help Klaus with Hope.

Ric will probably make a cameo in either the first episode or an episode later down the season.

There’ll probably be a K/D, H/E, R/M & K/C endgame. But i wouldn’t be surprised if they had it so R/M weren’t actually endgame and have them accept that they’re always gonna love each other but it’s never gonna work out.

I’ve heard talks of a Hope spinoff, and maybe there is an actual plan in JP’s head for this or maybe there isn’t, But I guarantee you that if they do a backdoor pilot (prolly where Alaric will actually enter) then it’ll flop. Theres no longer a market for that kinda show. Not a TVD meets Harry Potter meets Buffy which is how I expect they’ll try play it off. I think Hope was aged up because they had no idea what to do with a seven year old tbh, and this is the CW, so there *must* be some sort of romance with a central character. Hence Roman. I suspect Hope will be bratty and have an attitude and wont be the shy completely selfless kid we met in s4, and they’ll probably either try saying it’s her genetics or because Klaus wasn’t around enough.

(my unrealistic hopes though are hayley having an actual job and maybe going back to the pack since it was confirmed she was still living in new orleans and being an alpha and liaising with Vincent to be the head of the wolf faction again, having more flashbacks, minimal daddy issue drama with hope, more haycel/hopecel, little interference from TVD including MF, and not stringing out the elijah drama, if you’re gonna give him back his memories just doooo it don’t make it last all season, also freya getting a job might be cool, and learning vincents actual job when he’s not casting spells... you know... just saying)

I still run this blog because I’ve invested a fuckton of time into it, this blog is like my baby tbh, and I still love Hayley as a character even though I’m not okay with the show rn or tbh a lot of the way Hayley is written, she’s still a character that I very much so cannot let go of just yet. Also I found out that Carina will be a producer this year which I let fill me with a tiny bit of Hope because whilst she may not have ultimate power on the actual plot like Julie does, she’s very much so always been very pro Hayley and has always written incredible scenes for her, and has also written some very decent K/H/ scenes (whether or not she or anyone else ships them romantically, some of the best K/H scenes where they talk about Hope have been written by her) 

Royal I’m assuming doesn’t care enough to give a prediction for s5 because she’s over the show, I know from speaking to her though that she’s still part of the blog because she enjoys the company (ayyyy) and has also been here from the very start and has invested a lot into it. Royal’s done a lot for the blog BTS.

And this is Sarah’s response:

My predictions for the show are pretty bleak (for me). I don't like this time jump. At all. Literally, there is not a single thing I like about it. I think they built the show on Klaus' redemption being through being a father to Hope, and yet he's spent literally less than two years actually raising her. So, what's the point of him being a father if he's not actually being a father? You providing biological material and/or money and possessions does not make you a father. He got what - two months with her where she could actually form memories and half the time he was fighting a big bad. Yes, his sacrifice was noble...I guess. 

 So, we're gonna get Hope with daddy issues. Which is very valid for her to have because she can't actually spend quality time with her father. And she apparently doesn't get to be raised by her mother. But that's all good because saint Caroline has a school she can attend and that's super more important than her being raised by her mother. Obviously, there's no witches in NOLA who could teach her. No witch children she could make friends with (or werewolf children for that matter). Nope. None. Not a single one. Certainly none with the last name Mikaelson. Noooooope. Can't think of a single witch who could teach her. 

 Also, add in the fact that the sides that were released (which I doubt will make it onto the show) have Hope completely isolated and has no friends because everyone is scared of her. But totally worth not being raised for extended amounts of time by either of her parents for her to not have friends...she gets a boyfriend though!!!!!!! And that's all that matters, right? 

 Basically, I think they aged up Hope because now they can push the magic school spin-off with Hope as the lead once the Originals ends. They're baiting other fans in with talk of Caroline and KC and whether they actually go through and produce either - who knows. 

 I think eventually they'll get back to NOLA. Hope will leave the school (since apparently she has no friends there in the first place). Her boyfriend will follow and be creepy like all the male vampires on this show. But she'll ignore it because he's dreamy and dangerous and blah blah blah. The show will continue reusing plot lines and nothing will actually ever happen or be accomplished. Somehow the Mikaelsons will put the Hollow down for good and we'll see Klaus again not knowing how to be a father/trying to make up for lost time because that's all the writers apparently know how to write. Maybe we'll get big bad Klaus again, and when he's finally reunited with Hope, he'll start his redemption arc again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
