i saw this tweet & now i’m once again mourning the lost potential tvd’s third spin off could have had.

i know logically caroline would’ve never, ever allowed this because she’s a good person and a good headmistress (in my head) but just imagine with me for a second here:

imagine you’re a new student at salvatore’s. a newly triggered werewolf like raf, maybe. or maybe you just discovered that you’re from an ancient lineage going back all the way to iran that grants you fire magic, the ability to heal with your tears, and the ability to resurrect. it’s always been in your blood. it’s what your mother gave you. or maybe you’re a newly turned vampire.

huntress meredith sulez welcomes you and assures you that salvatore is the safest place for a young supernatural creature like you. she fills you in on headmistress forbes-salvatore and a bit of the history.

imagine that when you step foot in the school, the first thing you notice is that there is always some underlying tension between the three factions. that people are more concerned with upholding centuries old tradition than anything else because they don’t want to get ostracized from their respective communities.

imagine that you sit in on all the classes, from histories of the species, to physical education to magic lessons. that is where you meet hope mikaelson, the famed tribrid, and the siphoner twins: josie and lizzie saltzman. you think that there might be something going on between hope and josie. there’s certainly history there.

the curriculum for the witches is something that bonnie bennett has personally created. the witches respect her.

the witches don’t respect the teacher of this class, however.

ms featherwood explicitly tells the witches not to dabble in forbidden magic but when you exit that class, you find that drusilla knockwood does it anyway. you find that wade rivers only pretends to be a bumbling fool but that he’s actually so much smarter, sharper, than anyone gives him credit for. 

you find that, sometimes, werewolves and vampires do get along. because one day you walk past an empty classroom, and the door’s ajar. from where you’re standing, you see jed sitting on a chair, with floribeth on his lap; his head is tilted backwards, giving her access to him. at first you think she’s taking her sweet time sucking a hickey into the column of his throat, but then you realize she’s drinking from him and that he’s enjoying it - which is a huge gamble; you heard from alyssa that she’s not very good at controlling herself or the bloodlust - but they seem to make it work. you hurry down the hallway when you hear the heartfelt declarations of love and trust turn into groans of pleasure.

it’s not the first time you’ve seen vampires feed on their fellow students.

from there you go outside, hoping to catch some air and to cool yourself off. you run into penelope at the old mill, who is scheming. you don’t know how you got out of there before she spotted you, but you did. not knowing what else to do, you slip back inside. you catch sebastian’s eye from across the huge, expansive dining room, and you turn away, because you have no desire to get tangled up with him.

jade, wendy and diego seem to be okay. kind of strange. kind of feral. but okay. which is great because everything everyone does seems to be like a calculated chess move. and you’ve always been terrible at chess. checkers, too.

fortunately, finch tarrayo - also a werewolf - is just as new as you are and is just as confused. you find her texting maya machado-fell, a human.

and if that’s not enough: amidst the tension between the factions, mg and lizzie come together, but there is something missing. someone. and then they up the ante by bringing in the very human ethan machado-fell into the fold because they both fell in love with him, turning most of the factions against them.

welcome to the salvatore school. and good luck. you’re gonna need it.
