family bonding: body snatching & murder level.

This Caroline reaction to Klaus being ok with dying

and her little rant about how there are a lot of

things he should want to say to his daughter is so

underrated. Her voice was cracking and she

practically let out a sob. So I turned it into a gif.

I'm here for the Caroline/Stefan besties content in this episode though 🥰🥰

katherine wears the red hair better than elena does lol

Okay, so...I'm going to just spill my tea here. During every single TVD-rewatch, my Forwood-heart breaks a little bit more. They were a believable pairing with a slowly developing bond, trust and great chemistry. Tyler is very unfairly treated and underrated among the characters, writers and the fandom. It's quite hypocritical to blame Tyler of some things that he did completely unwillingly, because he was lied to or because he hadn't been told the whole truth about things and then claim that someone else would be better fit for Caroline. And in some cases he was rightfully angry and lashed out, but it has been taken out of portion. Yes, I'm talking about 5x12: no matter what is claimed sometimes, he didn't try to hurt or kill Caroline. He was emotional and had tried to get her to leave and give him the space by talking, but it hadn't worked and his other form came out. Some others, however, have hurt Caroline and her loved ones repeatedly and willingly (*cough* for example, the person mentioned below *cough*), and they get a free pass, because... I don't know how to finish that sentence. I hope that these two would've been endgame.

When I first watched TVD, I saw the appealing of Klaroline, mostly because I thought I saw some connections to Sparrabeth, which is one of my favorite ships ever. But now I realize they are not nearly the same. I like Caroline most of the time and I love the journey Klaus goes through in the Originals, but in the bigger context them "falling" for each other is rushed, doesn't make sense whatsoever and it ruins both of their development and what makes them great as individuals. Caroline is much more than just some prop for someone else's redemption (and Elena too, but I'm not gonna dive into it here). The show tries to sell the idea that Klaus somehow understands and truly sees Caroline better than anyone else, even than the people who have known her and stood beside her for years, which is not actually true in canon. He doesn't actually say anything good that someone else hasn't already pointed out in one way or another. In my opinion, as reluctant frenemies who challenge each other, they can work, but nothing more. Caroline shows up in the Legacies? Makes sense. Her showing up in the Originals? Beats up the dead horse, rewrites history and ends up pissing off the most of the Klaroline-, Klamille-, Klayley-, Steroline-, Forwood- and Maroline-fans. Job well done.

I've spoken.

Tvd 5x12

The coat Stefan is wearing when Katherine breaks up with Damon looks good on him.

Stefan smiled more comforting Caroline about Klaus more than on his wedding day.

Damon killing Aaron should be like a wake up call for Elena, but it’s not. She’s made her choice and she stands by it, apparently.

Fanfic writer ask game: 4, 8, 15, 16, 18

4. Do you prefer writing multi-chapter or oneshot fanfictions?

It really rather depends. Writing multi-chapter stories is certainly a lot more stressful (the sad line of my old dropped attempts rather showcase that).

But at the same time my longer stories do bring me bigger amounts of joy I guess. I get INVESTED in them.

But I also love writing short little drabbles that are like me baking a cookie, instead of a line of cakes. So I guess I like writing both, it's just about what I'm in the mood for.

8. What kind of document do you use to you write? Microsoft Word? Google Docs? Straight in the AO3 text box?

No, I'm a true savage, I write straight on Tumblr and make frequent use of 'save as draft' (I have an explanation to this, I used to write more TV show meta posts when I joined the hellsite, and I got so used to this particular font, in this particular size, on this particular background that writing anywhere else gets so distracting I might as well give up).

I do last edits in AO3 drafts though 🥺 that makes everything okay, right?

15. Are there words, phrases, mannerisms or scenes you tend to use a lot?

Ugh, the bane of my existence is how when I write and come up with a word that fits, the word somehow gets stuck in my mind and I'll find it used again two paragraphs down. And I don't notice until I do a reread aloud in editing. At which point I tend to google a bunch of synonyms.

Also: 'burst into laughter', 'choked back her tears', 'swallowed past the stone in her throat'. Also also my characters tend to raise their eyebrows and roll their eyes a lot, I think.

16. How long is your longest fic?

31'060 words as of yesterday, She's Come Undone and Set Free. Who knew how invested I'd get into letting Elena be angry; having Caroline dealing with her s1 trauma; making TVD era Rebekah get actual friends; and (most recently) giving Bonnie a properly interesting love interest *cough*Rebekah*cough*. (I already knew I could get invested in Elejah, that one wasn't a surprise).

18. Recommend someone else fic! (And tag them if they have a tumblr!)

This question is confusing but I'll take it to mean I should recommend someone else's fic to everyone who reads this.

Okay. I'm gonna narrow it down to TVD/Legacies fics because that's what I'm recently writing myself and if I don't put some kind of theme limit I'll get a headache.

We Remain by AnonymousObsesser - Elejah, starts during American Gothic and then goes a completely different way (I have read the first three chapters at least 5 times, the Elejah feelings are seriously top-notch).

A Year to Eternity? by @missnmikaelson - Elejah, Klaroline, a bit of Bonnie/Kol, a bit of Handon - Starts out during 5x12 of The Originals. But with TVD had a different ending (Elena isn't married to certain people for example and I love it). Neither Elijah, nor Klaus die because that's stupid (Caroline yells a bunch at Klaus about it, Elena's blood is always the magic cure we should all know this: "To seal the Hollow away we need the willing support of Elena Gilbert." Amusement sparkled in his eyes. "I'm asking about your knees, Nik, because you're about to grovel on them.").

plastic crown by @jennifersminds - Elejah but not as the focus, the focus is Elena runs away from the Salvatores (Rebekah gives her a car, Elena ends up in Vegas, I honestly don't know how to describe it, the story just has a very unique imagery) and tries to build herself back up. Trauma. Vengeance. Female friendship. Strip clubs and slight bit of vampiric serial killing. Oh, just read it, you'll understand.

(I think the three above mentioned fics can probably be blamed for me starting to write She's Come Undone).

tis the season for a kidnapping by @vorpalmuchness - Elejah, Elena gets kidnapped by a couple of idiots whose information is a BIT out of date (they call Elijah and expect gratitude is what I mean, those poor poor morons). And I LOVE it.

being unwanted (and wanting too much); by @natalia-dyer - Post s4 Hizzie, basically Lizzie coming to her great lesbian awakening/acceptance of self as she realizes why none of the guys were ever quite right.

Torn by the hours by @isagrimorie - (if you don't think I absolutely love that fic, you are WRONG, it lives in MY head rent free). Hizzie, with Lizzie waking up in the middle of the battlefield where Hope has pulled a full on massacre because she thought Lizzie was dead? I am RABID for this scene.

(okay, it's possible I overdid it a lil'bit).

not sorry but no one and I mean no one would know Caroline slept with klaus , she would be paranoid that someone would find out but she wouldn’t admit to it.

And she would choose Stefan. 

What makes you so sure of that?

Because i would. Any woman would. Stefan is the better man.

otoh Katherine breaking up with Damon as Elena is PEAK commedy. she’s saying all the right things that Elena might actually see if she wasn’t in too deep and fully trapped by the sunk-cost fallacy AND she’s enjoying herself immensely. getting to break Damon’s heart multiple times, and now as two different people?? the dream.

Just some The Originals 5x12 kc gifs that I haven't seen anyone else make. Yes I'm 5 years late I don't care.

LOOK AT HOW ANGRY SHE WAS when she says "he is a willing participant this time" and how she follows the white oak with her eyes because she is realizing what he is about to say. HOW WORRIED SHE LOOKS while he says it, and HOW FREAKING SAD she looks after he says it.

Also, it's my first time making gifs and I posted them from my phone so the quality sucks so... don't be judgy.

Katherine’s different shoes ~ requested by anon

if katherine really didn’t want to hear elena’s phone she could’ve turned it off

“You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first.” Bullshit. I have never loved myself. But you, oh God. I loved you so much. I forgot what hating myself felt like.

5x12

No one will ever sit around the table and tell stories about a man who couldn’t love.
