mutual just cooked up a post about how plec & co threw together bonenzo to try and shut bonnie fans up and all i can think about is how josie/hosie’s equivalent to that is the relationship she had with finch

TVDU SHIP BRACKET ROUND 5 BATTLE 68 HIZZIE VS HOSIE

[occulthours]

out of curiosity, are you a hosie or a hizzie? you're pretty loud about your dislike for handon, but i rarely see you post either hosie or hizzie.

Honestly, I had to think hard to answer this because I really did enjoy aspects of both ships. Short answer, I like both but don't love either. If I had to choose I would likely say Hizzie.

With Hosie I feel like they lacked a lot of the depth despite them being the most popular ship in the show. Ironically enough, they followed in KC's footsteps in that sense. They never really had enough build-up for them to start a relationship at any point in the show and it didn't help that the writers seemingly put a ban on them in s3. After being called out for queerbaiting the audience they just decided to completely cut Hope and Josie off from each other, even in situations that would've called for them to interact (s2 literally ended with them having an episode heavily centric on their dynamic, yet there was no follow up in s3?).

Their dynamic for the most part bored me, even as someone who enjoys the friends-to-lovers trope. Often times their scenes felt a bit empty, which definitely could’ve been intentional on the writers part to dissuade people from shipping them to be fair! They just didn’t get enough content for me to fully jump on board. I do think that out of Hope's popular ships, they had the best chemistry. They felt very natural in the scenes they shared and could've been great in canon. Had DRR and Kaylee been given the chance, Hosie would’ve been one of the few canon Legacies ships that had real romantic chemistry.

Hope and Lizzie’s relationship very clearly the star of the show. The best elements of the show were jumpstarted by their relationship (their rivals-to-friends era in s1, their hilarious scenes in s2 and 3, and their tribrid/heretic, sirebond, and enemies era in s4). The writers put more effort into Hizzie than any other aspect of the show, including Hope and Lizzie's canon relationships with their boring boyfriends. Typically, Hizzie is the thing the Legacies writers are praised for the most, and the praise is deserved.

Based on the writing alone Hizzie would've gone down as one of my favorite TVDU ships, maybe even one of my favorite ships period. But I don’t think DRR and Jenny have much romantic chemistry. Very close friends and platonic soulmates, yes. Girlfriends... I'd have to actually see it to believe it. They had the potential to start something, especially in season 4, but I’m not sure how it would feel to actually watch them have romantic scene.

It’s hard to say which I'd rather have been canon because of this. I can't see how Hope and Josie’s relationship being entertaining to watch (assuming that I can't go back and rewrite their relationship) and unless DRR and Jenny were specifically toning down whatever romantic chemistry they may have, I can't see myself rooting for them to kiss on screen. If I absolutely had to choose? Before s4 I would’ve said Hizzie by a long shot, but s4 gave Hosie an edge (I love ships where one or both of them are obsessively down bad and s4 Josie fit that to a T. Josie caring more about the girl that beat her father nearly to death, threatened to kill her mother, and actually killed her sister? EAT EAT EAT!), but also the sirebond gave Hizzie a bit of an edge (how could you not get even a little buzz from “I hate you for making me love you”?)… Hizzie was the first Legacies ship I fell for so I feel like I’m always gonna be a bit bias towards them.

I’d choose either one of these ships over the train wreck that was Hope and Landon in a heartbeat though! Both had potential to be excellent in their own ways if H.ndon wasn’t shoved down our throats.

ship wars are so fucking boring. why does it have to be “my ship is less problematic than yours and actually the narrative doesn’t make sense without it” why cannot it not simply be “i find this dynamic more compelling but to each their own”

What do you think about the relationship between the Saltzman twins and Hope?

I've only seen the first 10 episodes of Legacies and then spoiled most of it with tik tok edits. So I generally know what happens and the dynamics but can't form a full opinion.

From what I've seen, I really like that Legacies seemed to choose to focus on the friendships of the three main characters rather than on ships. Yes, I know everyone still ships them and I kind of like both Hosie and Hizzie. But I like that at the end of the day, it was the three of them above anything. It's one of the things that will probably push me to give the show another chance.

I also really like the idea of them working together as witches. Throughout TVDU, we are told how important covens are, yet we really don't get to see it. In TVD, Bonnie is on her own 99% of the time and in TO, the coven and ancestors spend more time infighting than anything. This is the first time we really get to see three powerful witches learn and grow together.

I think the show does a better job keeping the characters the right age. They are teenagers dealing with supernatural issues, but also regular high school drama. They fight like most sisters who are close in age would. If anything, I blame Caroline and Alaric for their issues. I've seen discourse on who is right, Josie, Lizzie, or Hope. But again, they are teenagers. It was up to Alaric and Caroline, as parents and school teachers, to teach them how to discuss and handle mental illness. I'm not surprised the show didn't do a great job considering how they treated it in their other shows.

Without even watching the show, I was sad when Josie left because it felt like the trio was the heart of the show. But again, I only know the general plotlines and characters, so it's hard for me to have a full formed discussion.

Thanks for the ask! I promise I will eventually watch Legacies!

TVDU (The Vampire Diaries Universe) SHIP BRACKET

ROUND 2, BATTLE 36: Klamille (Klaus Mikaelson x Camille O'Connell, TO) VS Hosie (Hope Mikaelson x Josie Saltzman, Legacies)

[uncleasad]

I’ve mentioned a few times recently in conversations with others how I’m having to recalibrate my mental expectations around response (or lack thereof) to my fics.

It’s not 2020, when I started writing in the midst of a world being turned upside down and a season that ended, however abruptly, on a Hosie high note.

It’s not 2021, when I spent the summer writing after the uneven and frustrating S3 (which nevertheless featured a few of my favorite episodes).

It’s not 2022, when the series limped to a conclusion/cancellation after losing one of its core trio and half of one of its most popular ships.

It’s not even winter 2023, when I last finished and published a fic prior to this.

No, it’s nearly a year later, and there are other fandoms out there 1) still in production and 2) that don’t hate their queer characters/pairings, so it’s no surprise readership and commenting here have plummeted (even though new authors continue to appear!)…and by my not publishing anything during that 9-month dry spell, I didn’t keep the attention of folks who previously had enjoyed my wacky takes on Hosie, either.

All of which is a prologue to the thought/feeling I had today…

Last night, I punted on posting Chapter 4 of The One with Hope’s Wedding on its “regular” night—which is something I never would have done in the past…if the fic/chapter was ready, I would have stayed up late (even later, in this case) to get it in the hands of my readers.

Today, I didn’t feel bad about not having posted it. In fact, I felt no urgency to post the final chapter at all. After all, I wrote the story for myself, it’s written, and I enjoyed it, so from my perspective, mission accomplished. It was a really strange feeling to have, though.

(I would never actually be so cruel to existing readers—whether they’d commented or not—to stop posting a finished fic 75% of the way there. And when the author of one of your favorite fics is a big fan of this latest fic of yours…definitely never gonna stop before posting the whole thing 😂)
