While I prefer Stefan over Damon, he wasn't any better, just less problematic. Both brothers had committed villainous acts throughout the show, but whenever I'm asked which Salvatore brother I like more, I will always say Stefan.

Shouldn't Freya and Hope be called Hagen witches?

I know Dahlia's last name wasn't officially confirmed to be Hagen (at least, I don't think. Correct me if I'm wrong) and it was a last name created by fans, but in so many TO edits, Dahlia is almost always referred to as 'Dahlia Mikaelson' and Freya and Hope as 'Mikaelson witches.'

The witch gene came from Esther's side of the family, not Mikael's. He was a regular human and did not have any ties to the supernatural prior to becoming an original vampire.

I think the TO writers were extremely lazy and careless with not giving Dahlia an actual last name.

Freya and Hope are technically not Mikaelson witches. They are Hagen witches. I know this may seem unimportant to most of you, but it bothered me so much while rewatching TO, so I had to make a post about it.

I honestly don't understand why the show creators decided to make Penelope this awful person ruining people's life for fun. In the books, Lady Whistledown is harmless she dose nothing but comments on people's clothes and the new couples of the season that's it. Not only that, but in the book Penelope even mentions that she sometimes would compliment ladies appearances who are usually ignored so others will notice them, because she knows what's like to be ignored. So why would you turn someone whose thoughtful to someone who expose others and ruin their reputations. Book Penelope would never expose Marina and no way in hell she would throw Eloise under the bus like in the show, they completely switched her character and it would've been fine if they had her realize how wrong she was for what she did and own up to it but they don't in fact they treat her like the victim instead. I'm sorry for this rant is just I loved Penelope in the book she was someone who suffered from bullying and being ignored but never took out her pain on others because this is exactly what she dose in the show.

I have read the books as well, and I love Penelope in the novels. But I am talking about her character in the show, and I dislike that version of Penelope. In the books, she never criticized or spoke badly about anyone unless they absolutely deserved it, but that is not the case in the television show. In Penelope's perspective, she was trying to help her best friend, but I don't think any Penelope supporters realize that regardless of her intentions, she humiliated her best friend. In addition, she lied to her for a really long time about her identity.

Eloise trusted Penelope with her secrets, and what did Penelope do? She published them for the entire ton to know. Also, she talked badly about the Queen and her husband, who is mentally ill. That's not the Penelope from the novels who I loved and adored. So that's why I don't like show!Penelope. Perhaps my opinion of her will change once the third season comes out, but for now she's not my favorite character.

When reading fanfictions, I love to picture book!Penelope instead, just in case you are wondering why I even read Polin fanfictions if I don't like show!Penelope.

I'm finally done with my finals, so now I have all the time in the world to continue writing my book as well as other stories I am planning on writing as well!!!

Chapters 33 - 50 are coming soon ❤️

To be honest, Penelope received online hate from other character stans since the beginning of the show for her actions. It's not specific to Eloise. Every character has received hate on this show (and it's stupid). Bridgerton fans just kind of suck. when there's no reason to hate on ANY characters at all

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm new to the Bridgerton fandom (I watched the show for the first time a few months ago), but the comment section under the trailer was so antagonistic toward Eloise when her anger toward Penelope is completely justified.

It just seems like a lot of Penelope's supporters are justifying her behavior as Lady Whistledown instead of acknowledging how harmful her gossip articles have been to almost every woman in the ton.

You're also right about every character receiving hate, and I plan on making another post about that soon.

Also, thank you for sending me a respectful ask. I hope you have a wonderful day, anon!

Damn I just remembered that Damon was a Confederate soldier and so was Jasper Hale from Twilight.

Yikes.

I will ALWAYS find Damon falling in love with Elena as disgustingly creepy because of the fact that he was in his mid-20s when he was turned and Elena was 17 at the time.

Stefan falling in love with her was very creepy as well, but Damon physically looked 25 and he was whining about a 17-year-old child not wanting him and abusing other underaged girls as well.

The Originals was a terrible spin-off for so many reasons, but one of the reasons is that Hope's purpose was to bring the family together, hence her name and Klaus was supposed to be redeemed after becoming a father.

Not only does a redemption arc for a character like Klaus Mikaelson is very unnecessary, he was already a father to Marcel. Klaus raised Marcel since he was ten years old. He raised him in his very image and although there weren't a lot of flashbacks of Marcel's childhood, we were shown many loving moments between Klaus and Marcel.

For those of you who are still in denial, MARCEL IS KLAUS' SON.

If Marcel couldn't change Klaus and give him the redemption many TO fans claim he deserves than what makes you think Hope could?

I don't want to hear the 'She's a girl' crap because we all know it's implied in the spin-off that Hope is the Mikaelson family's redemption because she is Klaus' biological child.

I promise you that if Hope had been a boy and was named Henrik or something, Klaus would have treated him the same.

The entire Mikaelson family would have treated Male Hope better than Marcel.

The Originals is a dumb spin-off that not only destroyed the characters that I loved so much, but created a baby plot that made no sense at all for so many reasons, but one of the reasons is that Klaus was already a father.

The Originals should have been about the Mikaelson family's past, Marcel's childhood, and Klaus and Marcel repairing their father/son relationship.

Julie Plec was obsessed with making another Re-Name-Me Cullen and retconning the lore of TVD just for a plot hole baby that nobody asked for.

In the book I'm writing on Wattpad about The Vampire Diaries, I'm writing fanfiction not only because I really love the show but because I want to give the characters who were mistreated better treatment.

For example, Bonnie.

When I first found out that Kat Graham was denied the right to wear her natural hair on the show, my heart broke for her. She was forced to wear those ugly ass wigs that ended up damaging her real hair, and that got me so mad because her hair is so beautiful. And they didn't even have her wear bonnets to bed like come on 🙄

Also, where was Bonnie during the Mikaelson Ball? Why wasn't she there? I'll tell you why. Because the writers refused to allow her to dress up like the other female characters. Having Bonnie at the Mikaelson Ball made more sense plot wise because of her ancestor's relationship with the Mikaelsons, but I'm gonna talk about that another time. The writers had Bonnie attend school dances instead to hide their dislike toward her and the actress.

And don't get me started on Bonnie's pathetic love interests. That guy she flirted with early season two died right in front of her. Jeremy cheated on her. She made flirtatious eye contact with Kol, but that lasted like five seconds, and the two never interacted again. And while she had Enzo, he was taken from her so soon.

You better believe that Bonnie's gonna have an EPIC ROMANCE in my book. SHE'S GONNA ATTEND ALL THE DANCES AND ALL THE PARTIES. SHE'S GONNA HAVE THE HAIRSTYLES SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD. And the Bennett family is gonna have A LOT more importance in my book because, in my opinion, there wouldn't even be a TVDU without the Bennett witches.

Another example, Caroline.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE SHE'S GONNA GET THE JUSTICE SHE DESERVED AFTER WHAT DEMON SALVAWHORE DID TO HER SEASON 1. That shit isn't gonna get glossed over. Not in my story.

And how can I forget Finn? Listen I'm gonna forget the shit he pulled in TO cause I don't consider that show canon. TVD stopped making sense in the later episodes of season four. I understand Finn. I understand why he sided with his mom. Should he have attempted to kill his siblings? No. But I get it. His younger brother locked him in a coffin for nine hundred years and forgot about him. He became a VAMPIRE and was forced to feed on people to survive. And lots of fans like to leave him out of Mikaelson Family Edits so I get his anger and frustration.

I get it.

Okay, I'm done ranting. I have class in thirty seconds, um, go read my book it's really good. I'm updating again really soon.

See you next time 🥰
