q!Bad’s “vacation arc” thoughts :3
At first, my feelings on this arc was boredom, a little sigh at playing up the usual skeppy-addicted bits, when it felt like there was a goldmine of opportunity to do a lot more crazy stuff with it. But after really considering q!Bad’s actions the past week, the events of today, and reading some other posts I realized- it’s not how it seems.
Under the veil of silly goofy this is wayy more angsty and serious. This isn’t just another of the usual skeppy bits, this is different. q!Bad is genuinely devastated and mourning over missing his dear friend, to a degree we haven’t seen before. and he’s mourning over the risky things he had to do during the elections, which only put him & his kids in more serious danger. This so-called “vacation arc” isn’t a vacation at all.
This is a grieving arc in disguise.
The vacation, the jokes, all of it is done on purpose. all to build a facade for the audience, and for the character himself, who is lying to himself about the true weight of his emotions. (have you noticed how often he’s been drinking this past week?)
It’s being played so well that if you didn’t realize it at first, good I believe that’s the point. even the other characters are just now starting to notice & get actually concerned that something more is wrong, and their friend needs real support!
The truth comes out in things like q!Bad asking Foolish for a hug (and I stress: he never does this) yelling about not wanting to wear his armor, and saying he wants to “extend his vacation.” (more like wanting to extend his mourning period)
But it’s so obvious that his kids are the light that’s pulling him through this dark time. how fitting it is that he calls them his sunshines. especially when earlier today, Dapper and Pomme gifted him the scythe they worked hard to make together, with the fitting name of Sunshine Protector. afterwards q!Bad was emotional and literally said:
“I’m content right now… maybe I don’t need to extend my vacation.”
and that’s the line that made it aalllll click for me.
anyways to wrap it up yeah I’m so impressed with how this character arc is going :D

okay, if you could redo season 5 how would you write the end of to???
Tumblr media
Oh anon - you shouldn’t have opened this box of worms. But I’m gonna answer this because I have needs to get that shit out. BUT. I’m going to preface this with: I mean NO offense to anyone, any muses, or any one else’s opinions. This is simply MY opinion on how I would have written season 5 & what I would have done differently.Let’s start off with the facts. 90% of season 5 was basically a set up for Legacies and Hopes tragic backstory because god forbid Julie make a character interesting without giving them some kind of crazy tragedy. [ Plus Phoebe, Joseph and Daniel REFUSED to do Legacies so she killed them all off because it wouldn’t make sense that her parents and uncle wouldn’t bail her out of trouble - THIS was literally in an interview Julie did. LoL ]That being said the first thing I would have changed is this season being a setup for Legacies. My ideal S5 would have still had Summer in it playing Hope & waiting to use Danielle until Legacies started. But we’ll stick with the time jump for now.- Klaus would have kept in touch with Hope through video chat, phone calls and letters. [ the only reason they made him a “dead beat dad” was to give Hope a reason to act like a little shit, which still made no sense because even though she didn’t have Klaus she had healthy & loving relationships with the rest of her family. She was a well adjusted 7 year old and we come back 8 years later and all of a sudden she’s this crazy out of control teen who feels unloved and abandoned? UM hello you have a mother who’s done nothing but be there for you. You have aunts and uncles who talk to you all the time. Okay you don’t have you dad..but really? ANYWAY ]- Hope would not be selling her blood & making hybrids to get money to track down her dad. [ The fucking Mikaelson’s have been around 1000+ years. They have money. This was just stupid writing and it made Hope seem like a reckless child who doesn’t care about anyone but herself & her needs. And considering she was so compassionate at 7 years old I find this super hard to believe ]- Hope NEVER would have kidnapped Hayley because that’s another thing that was fucking stupid. You kidnap the one person who’s been there for you, your entire life to bring your dad back? WHAT? That’s just poor fucking writing. - Caroline would be NOWHERE near TO. I’m sorry but Klaus hasn’t seen or spoken to Caroline since that ridiculous episode where he went back to Mystic Falls during S1 of TO. And then I think he spoke to her on the phone once? In S2 or maybe S3? I’m not sure it was whenever Stefan came to TO. But they have their own lives. They never mention each other - and they’ve both moved forward with their lives. Having her pop in during the FINAL season of TO when she’s never been a part of the show and making her seem important to this story when she’s not is ridiculous lol. It would be one thing if they threaded her through the story from the beginning but they didn’t. And as a viewer I’m expected to believe that after they haven’t seen each other in 15 years that SHE’S the person he’ll listen to and not the people that have been in his life for the past 15 years? Julie pls - sit your ass down because no. What they should have done is have Candace be in Legacies because THAT would have made more sense then even putting Alaric there. - There would not be a large focus on so many new characters. Declan would never have happened. And the whole weird ass Nazi storyline never would have happened either.- I still would have written Hayley getting kidnapped, but instead of their weird nazi shit, I would have had one person from each faction working together to kidnap her so that they can create a war between the factions so no one would be united.- I would have had Klaus actually succeed in saving Hayley so he could have KEPT his promise to Hope. He promised to deliver her mother to her and ofc they made him fail [ Which is ridiculous again honestly I can’t ]- I would have had Hope defeat the Hollow period. No Hollow stuck in her killing her - that whole thing was stupid. Hope is a first born Mikaelson witch & she’s a tribrid. She’s supposed to be the most powerful witch there is. She was doing magic when she was an infant - hell her blood healed Hayley when she was in the fucking womb and you’re telling me she couldn’t beat the Hollow? Nope. Hope would have destroyed it after she locked them all together in the mind place.-The family would have taken care of Greta and the other two people working with her to start a war and killed them all. Josh would NOT have died. Elijah could get hims memories back and then the whole family dinner with everyone could have INCLUDED Hayley - the way it should have.- Basically since The Originals was supposed to be the show about FAMILY - season 5 would have been about bringing the family back together, restoring friendships, relationships in general and then Klaus and Hayley would have dropped Hope back off at school together we would have gotten a nice moment of the three of them as a family [ which we barely got in later seasons ] Maybe even a flash forward of when Hope is older and a full tribrid and flashes of each of the family members and what their doing as like a small montage and like a small montage of Hayley and Hope traveling with Klaus like having little “family” moment showing them giving their daughter everything they never had. And then the final scene would have been Elijah and Klaus ending the show like it started except they wouldn’t be dying they’d be “starting” their next adventure or whatever something like that. And then Legacies could be everything that happens from the minute they drop Hope off together once all is well in NOLA to the flash forward from the end of TO.And that is what I would have done if I were writing it. No emphasis on romantic ships perse - but giving everyone closure with all their relationships and leaving it somewhat open with the focus on FAMILY.ONE DAY I WILL WRITE THIS FIC…okay I want to write it but I’m lazy so probably not but yes lol.

Now, onto the next one.
After the one I wrote about in my last post, there was someone else, haha. (This one's gonna be a lot harder to write)
We were in the same group for the community service program held by our university. We were from a different faculty, but there we met in the middle of nowhere (lol). He was nice, he was SO nice. He made me laugh a lot. He was a good listener, also a good story teller and we got so close so fast.
He was a Muslim.
He was younger than me, a-1999-born.
He took lots of selfies.
And we were about the same height, he was only taller than me by a 1 cm or 2 (not important but heyy let me write😂)
Why is this important? Because, let me tell you about my preferences of man.
I never want anything too specific in a man. I know some girls like men with lighter skin or beard or whatever, well I'm not like them. But whenever I think of my dream man, I only want these:
1. A Christian
2. Older than me
3. Doesn't like to take selfies ( this is deffo the least important but heyy it's my preferences, please just let me be😂)
See the weird thing here? He was the opposite of everything I wanted in a boy. So how could I fall for him?
I remember this saying: "Setinggi apapun kriteria tentang calon pasangan, akan kalah ketika kamu jatuh cinta tanpa alasan."
I believe it now, I'm a living proof of that saying. He came out of nowhere and broke my walls down, he crushed all of my preferences and made them nothing. Gosh, even the timing was off. After my last breakup, I had no intention of getting into a relationship until graduation. One more reason not to fall for him, but I still did anyway.
We stayed up all night most of our times there. We talked about nothing and everything at once. He was the first person I truly opened up to about my last relationship, I had never told anyone before him. I don't know, when we were talking I just felt like I had no filter and I could tell him everything. Every word just flowed out without me even thinking about it.
And then this one weekend in the middle of our community service program, we came back to our town for 2 days. First night, there in my guestroom, he tried to kiss my forehead. I dodged out of reflect 😂😂 and we laughed about it later. I told him that I didn't think he would be brave enough to try to kiss me so soon, then he told me that a man has to brave and he wanted to show that he was not playing games😊 Second night, he tried to kiss my forehead again. This time I didn't dodge, haha. After that, his face was right in front of mine. Our lips were almost touching but he didn't move, so I kissed him first haha.
And then the community service was finished. I remember one night, I again told him everything. We were officially in a relationship then. I told him EVERYTHING about my past relationship, how my ex had touched me in places he shouldn't be. I told him, it's okay if he didn't want to continue being with me, if he thought if I was dirty and not worthy, because I honestly felt the same. He said it was okay, and you know what? He cried. I asked him why, he told me he was hurt that I asked him if he wanted to end things so easily. He told me that we would face a lot more obstacles to come and whatever would come in our way we should face it together, he told me to never ask to end things so easily ever again. After that, I cried too haha.
The first few weeks being back was still nice. He was busy with his academics things, but he tried to make time for me. We met like 1-2 times a week, he called me when he had free time. We talked about everything, and we laughed. He made me laugh a lot and I was just so happy everytime we talk. I really felt like I could tell him everything, and it was nice to have someone who wanted to listen to all of your stories, even the insignificant ones😂
And then one week, everything changed. He suddenly went MIA for days. I didn't know why, he didn't tell me. After missing for a few days, he told me that he had problems with his family, and it was about me. He told me that he would call me to explain, or we could meet in the weekend and he would explain in person.
But that phone call never came :) When I asked him if we were still on for the weekend, he told me he didn't have time. I was hurt of course, I mean, he went missing for days with no words and I think I deserved an explanation. So I asked him again, when can we talk? I told him that I felt like I was talking to a wall because the communication was only going in one way. You know what he said? He wanted us to be just friends. Yup, he broke up with me over a fucking text.
Reading that, of course I cried. I cried like a bitch, I was so hurt. I texted him a long-ass message, I reminded him of his words, how he said he wasn't playing. How he kissed me to show me that he wasn't playing. He told me that he didn't have time for everything. He was already so busy academically abd he didn't have time for a relationship. He then said that his mom found out, and she didn't want him to be in a relationship with a girl from a different religion.
When he said that, I understand. I know that interfaith relationships rarely have happy endings. And I wouldn't want him to rebel against his mom just to stay in a relationship with me. I understand. My last request to him was that I wanted him to end things in person, not just over a text. I mean, we started with him asking me in a person, so it only makes sense to end things in person also, not just over a meaningless text. He insisted that he didn't had time to meet in person, but he told me that he would call later that night to say everything. I waited, you know? I waited like an idiot. That night I didn't sleep well. I set an alarm for every 15 minutes, I was afraid he would call and I missed it. But until the morning came, he never called. I texted him then, and the day after. He didn't even read it. 2 days after that, he read my message. I thought maybe now he would call to explain, but no. HE FUCKING BLOCKED ME.
I was hurt, I was so hurt. I felt so worthless, I felt like I wasn't worth one last meeting. Hell, apparently I wasn't even worth one last phone call.
You know what hurt me the most? I remember this story he told me, about his breakup in high school. His ex was also a Christian, she told him that before they fell even deeper, it was better that they broke up because of their differences. She broke up with him over an email, and he wouldn't take it. He asked for her to tell him in person, and so she did.
See? He knows how hurtful it is for someone to breakup with him over an email. Even he couldn't accept it, and he asked to be told in person. He knows how hurtful it is, so why did he did the same to me? :)
It hurts. We were only together for a little less than a month, but this hurt more than my first breakup. It hurts more because I have got no closure. I insisted for one last meeting not because I wanted to beg him to stay, no. I just wanted to get some things off my chest. I wanted to apologize if I was ever a burden, and I wanted him to know that I will always be here for him as a friend. It hurts because I have so many things to say but he gave me no chance.
Another reason why this breakup hurts more than my first one is because things were still going great. We haven't even had a fight. We still got so many plans that we hadn't done. We wanted to go to karaoke, we wanted to have a morning run together. And during the short time were together, he had never hurt me. I was so so happy with him and I never saw the end coming. I wasn't prepared :). I lost count of how many nights I cried for him, haha. It hurts you know, keeping everything alone for so long. Keeping everything bottled up, keeping everything in my chest without a chance to tell him. I just wanted to tell him everything, and I wanted him to tell me everything. That's the closure that I want and I probably will never have.
I know we could never be together with different religions, especially in this country. But did he really have to cut me off completely? Am I really that worthless and he could forget me that easily?
But I could never hate him. I tried, I thought it would help ease the pain but I just can't. All I remember is the good times, the nights we spent together, the way he listened to me, the way he made me laugh, how he made me happy. I didn't even want to sleep because talking to him was far more interesting than sleeping. For all of that, I am thankful.
I don't want to get back together, I seriously have no intention. But I want to mend things, he was a good friend and I like talking to him. I hope some day in the future we could be friends again, in the most platonic way possible.
I wish him the best in everything he does. I know he'll find someone better, even if it's not me. And I know I'll find someone better, even if it's not him.
So, wherever you are, whatever you do, I hope you're happy and healthy and well :) And I hope you don't hate me, the same way I could never hate you. You made me happy even just for a while, and for that I thank you. Good luck to you, you know who you are! ☺️

It fills my heart with joy to see you here, pleased, at peace. I suppose my last question is: is it your desire to stay here. We do—we have a ship.”
