Sebastian 

[elisabeth-forbes]

001 + Legacies

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: Lizzie Saltzman

Least Favorite character: Landon Kirby - I don't hate him I just don't find him as interesting as other characters. Also when MG started to do the whole nice guy thing to Lizzie.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Hope/Lizzie, Hope/Rafael, Lizzie/Sebastian, Alaric/death, Cleo/Landon (I saw a gif of them and I became interested but haven't)

Character I find most attractive: Hope

Character I would marry: Lizzie because shes very honest about how she feels when upset or pissed and I don't want to deal with people who play the emotional games.

Character I would be best friends with: Josie maybe??

a random thought: Can Alaric just die yet?? Surely one of the students is nearly 18 so they could be the headmaster soon?

An unpopular opinion: Fandom gets stuck in their first perception of these characters and don't want to see them develop. Especially with Josie. They can't handle that she pulled equally shitty stuff on Lizzie growing up and that they both contributed to them becoming codependent.

My Canon OTP: does Klaus/Caroline count because it still gets mentioned???

My Non-canon OTP: Hope/Lizzie - their impact on each other is brilliant and you can tell the writers love writing their scenes.

Most Badass Character: Lizzie - just the scene of her not hesitating to stab Landon.

Most Epic Villain: Not a big fan of villains in this show. But the genie is a standout for the lizzie centric episode.

Pairing I am not a fan of: MG/Lizzie - not a fan of pairings where one has to be bullied into it. You can tell by the actors and the writing that they don't love it either. Also Hope/Josie because in season 2 you could just tell Josie was miserable with the way things turned out so I just can't ship it.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): the dark!Josie arc. It could have been done so much better. Also visually the outfits/hairstyle was .... not good.

Favourite Friendship: Hope/Lizzie,

Character I most identify with: None really.

Character I wish I could be: Lizzie because of how unapologetic she is.

[highgaarden]

Lizzie/Landon - "I think I'm the first girl to break a bed with a guy, without even having sex with him while doing so." (pls let them break a bunch of other stuff while actually having sex)

two-shot! read and comment on ao3, please!

where you cast those stones you wear;

rating: explicit chapters: 1/2 characters: lizzie/landon; background klaus/caroline, background hope/landon, background josie/penelope; the whole SS gang.

where you cast those stones you wear

part i

----

“There you are.”

Lizzie’s smile is the fakest ass fake smile he’s ever seen, and he’s seen a lot of them.

It’s how she smiles when Wade asks her for donations to his Anime club. Or when Dr Saltzman caught all of them at the Old Mill trying to make moonshine (Kaleb’s idea). Her smiles are especially at their fakest when she wants to pull Hope away from him for some magical assistance to whatever trouble she’s managed to get herself—

—and Josie, and Alaric, Raf, MG, (himself, though she’ll never count him) and probably half the school along as well—

—that week. “Just the person I wanted to randomly bump into in study hall.”

“Really,” he deadpans, not believing her one bit.

He shifts his book just a little closer to his chest. He’s not nervous, but her energy is full of it sometimes, and sometimes it’s just energy personified that bounces off the calm he tries to fill his study hall with.

You know, where they’re supposed to study – in silence, preferably – but with Lizzie, there’s never much of silence.

It’s with a bit of a niggling discomfort that Landon realises he’s learned her tells: Lizzie can talk up a storm, always, but it’s in tense moments that she can’t seem to shut up. Not that he’d ever tell her to shut up; he doesn’t know why he always just wants to be nice to her, despite her printing out posters of VOTE ARTISANAL JAR OF MAYONNAISE FOR HOMECOMING KING last semester and sticking them all over school.

 —

 “Well?” Lizzie prompts, clicking her tongue.

Landon’s just sitting there, and for all his humble bragging about being at the top of their classes he’s just… sitting there, with a look that tells her he’s not quite registering what she’s just said to him.

“I’m—I’m sorry?” he finally says.

Lizzie sighs loudly enough for the entire study hall to send glares their way. Landon attempts to tamp down on their aggression, but all Lizzie does is just sigh louder.

Sorry, Landon mouths apologetically again, raising his hand at Wade, who looks close to crying over exam revision.

“Landon,” Lizzie says with finality.

“Lizzie,” Landon matches her tone. “I’m sorry, but you’re just going to have to repeat yourself.”

Murder is the only word that comes to mind with the glare she sends his way. But she decides to humour him.

“Wow, that’s so weird. I feel like I’m just mishearing you. Again, please—hey, I said please.”

Lizzie’s mouth moves around the words she’s telling him.

Landon continues to stare at her blankly. “Sorry, there’s just this weird ringing in my ears. It sounds like you just asked me to be your boyfriend?”

 —

 Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman.

Asking him, resident emo-boy, a marginally competent bird as she always ‘fondly’ calls him, to be her esteemed partner.

“Am I hearing this right?”

Lizzie hisses right through her teeth, “Do not insult me, you moderately competent bird.”

See?

He lifts his book as if to deflect the blow of her mighty glare. “Look, I’m not! I’m just – are you feeling alright? Been getting enough sleep?”

“Two weeks have passed since my mom’s come back, and I have thoroughly exhausted every single mother-daughter bonding activity ever, and she’s moved on from Oh Lizzie, my favourite daughter, I’ve missed you so much snuggling to Who is this Sebastian your father keeps mentioning lectures.” Lizzie adds flippantly: “I’m not vibing with it.”

“Sebastian?”

“Super sexy perma-teen vampire but a complete misjudgement of character on my end.”

“And this isn’t?” Landon mumbles.

“I need to get my mother off my back, keep up.” Lizzie inches forward in her seat. The ends of her hair graze the table with how much she’s leaning towards him, making him look her in her wide, blue eyes. Always with the theatrics. “You’re just about at the exact opposite end of the Sebastian spectrum. Mopey, dependable, not obviously good looking, but your other qualities probably can make up for that. And you’re the kind of guy would probably wake up super early to get me a coffee and croissant before school, because that’s just how cheesy you are.”

“Thanks?”

“Don’t interrupt me. Anyway, it’s not just for my benefit either.”

“Somehow I find that hard to believe.”

Lizzie’s smile widens just a touch. “Heard your little crush on Hope just went up in flames.”

So is his face now, all puffed out and embarrassed. He lowers his voice and hisses, “How do you know about that?”

“Oh Landon. My sweet thrift store hobbit,” Lizzie sighs. “Everyone knows about it. You wear it like a badge of constant glumness. You didn’t speak to Jed for a whole week after he bought her a sandwich last week.”

“I could’ve bought her a sandwich too, big deal,” Landon mutters.

Lizzie raises a sharp finger and looks smug. “Ah, but you didn’t! See, my boy, you’ve got no game. Now imagine how much cooler your image would be if you were seen with resident popular girl,” she gestures to herself. “Your reputation would shoot up the ranks.”

“There are ranks?”

“Duh,” Lizzie says like it’s the most obvious thing. ��And you, being a phoenix without actually possessing any unique phoenix qualities other than resurrecting – ”

“That’s not unique enough?”

“—looking like a pale artichoke in gym class doesn’t help, either. I am your salvation!” Lizzie finishes, hands on her hips and jaw raised like she’s standing centre-stage at their annual talent competition.

Landon narrows his eyes. “You think people will like me more if it looks like I’m dating you?”

“Now we’re getting somewhere. Move a little.” She takes a seat next to him gracefully, tucking her skirt under her thighs. “Listen. I need my mom to stop breathing down my neck. She’s been looking at me like she wants to give me the birds and the bees talk, with visual aid, flash cards and mini-theatre and I’d rather not go through that again. Once was more than enough. Pretty sure Dad wants her to exact power over my social life, since he doesn’t really have any say in that, and I’m looking at two semesters of constant surveillance. Or a twelve-step programme. And Professor M isn’t helping either—”

Landon shuts his book. “How does Professor M know about your love life?”

“Everyone knows about my love life, Landon. I’m interesting.” She rests an unwilling hand on his shoulder with a grimace. “And soon you will be too.”

“Because I’ll be dating you.”

“Fake dating,” Lizzie corrects primly.

“And you think Hope will like me, even though I’ll be unavailable?”

“There’s something to be said about wanting the unattainable, Landon. And trust me, you will be unattainable once you’re standing by my side.”

“Yeah, because everyone will think I’m nuts.”

“I resent that. Say yes.”

“Lizzie, I—” a panicked, helpless sort of look crosses Landon’s face. “This is really dishonest; I don’t think we should be…”

“Let me do the thinking for both of us, alright Little Bird?” Lizzie snips. “Getting back in my parents’ good books, the teachers off my backs for any sort of inevitable breakdown, and you… get to be Professor M’s potential son-in-law one day.”

“This is extremely coercive, you know,” Landon points out, but the protest is feeble at best. “And making me really uncomfortable. Nobody will buy it.”

“We’ll just have to put on a really good show,” she swears. “Say yes.”

 —

 Two things happen the next two days:

Landon attempts to say hi to Hope, who looks right through him to greet MG a good morning.

During lunch break, by some kind of miracle, he joins Hope and Lizzie for lunch just in time to hear Hope say, “You were right about the bio homework, by the way. Your ideas aren’t that bad, Saltzman.”

Lizzie cocks an eyebrow at Landon. “Welcome, Kirby.”

“Oh, hey Landon,” Hope greets warmly.

Landon takes all of thirty seconds to make up his mind.

Lizzie’s phone vibrates in her bag. When she checks it, it’s from Landon.

Just one word.

Yes.

 —

 Every Friday evening, the rag tag group of upper-secondary students meet for some dumb study group Emma had made them all participate in, in an effort to like, ‘bond’ as ‘one’ ‘community’ or something.

It’s astonishing that all of them consistently make it every single week, but no one will admit it’s because they appreciate each other’s company. They’d chalked it up to Stockholm Syndrome.

Rafael comes when he feels like it, but he’s usually stuck in detention helping Dorian jar newton eyes or something, but even he tries to be on his best behaviour so he doesn’t miss much of these.

It’s during one of these study groups that MG, having been not-so-discreetly been spying on Lizzie and Landon whilst they all parroted off chemical equations to each other, demands: “Why are you touching him?”

He’s probably been watching them really closely since the Bomb had Dropped.

Lizzie makes sure to have Josie walk into them in the courtyard one day with her hand placed very carefully on Landon’s thigh, and shocks her twin so much she goes running through the hallways until she bumps into Penelope, and blurts out the scene she just witnessed, swearing her to secrecy.

Penelope, of course, tells everyone else.

Lizzie pretends to fidget with the hem of her shirt. “Excuse you?”

MG narrows his eyes. “You just… keep putting your hand on Landon’s arm. Willingly. Why.”

“Haven’t you heard?” Penelope smirks, whilst Josie turns red and avoids Lizzie’s glare, “they’re the Salvatore School’s It Couple right now.”

“Fake news,” Jed coughs into his notes, and Kaleb guffaws.

Hope doesn’t do anything but watch the entire exchange with curious eyes.

“Look, Penelope, you don’t have to believe it,” Landon begins, but he’s making mopey eyes at Hope, so Lizzie decides to cut in.

“As devastated as I am to admit it, Frodo’s been growing on me,” Lizzie sighs, the vision of a woman distraught. “Who knew I was into nerd porn?”

MG’s ears might as well be whistling, and Jed’s cough sounds like a choke now.

“Girl, say what,” Kaleb says in one disbelieving breath. “Tell me you’re not serious. You okay? Been getting enough sleep? Is this a breakdown thing, ‘cause Emma said we have to like, show solidarity and help you visualise your inner child and shit—”

Lizzie smarts at that, just a little. Her lips part to shoot some of her automatic sass bullets, but surprisingly nothings comes out. Landon secretly puts his hand on her knee in a secret show of solidarity.

“Kaleb,” Josie says sharply. “People can change.”

Lizzie eyes Landon curiously. He shoots her a small smile, which she looks away from.

“Exactly,” Penelope nods, but she’s smirking in a way that says she doesn’t buy a single thing, and is enjoying every second of watching Landon squirm under everyone’s scrutiny. “Who’d you lose the bet to, Lizzie?”

Lizzie, despite herself, starts to feel annoyed. “I’ll have you know, Penelope, Landon isn’t the short end of an already short bunch of sticks—”

Landon tries to figure out the compliment there.

“Then – then prove it!” MG blurts out. “Kiss. If you’re really a couple, then – Kiss!”

That stops Lizzie short. “Milton. Ew.”

“Really gross, MG.” Hope shoots him a look of distaste.

“Voyeur much?” Penelope smirks.

“Nah, I’m with MG,” defends Kaleb. “This is really entertaining and all, but it’s kinda starting to weird me out. Suck his face. No way you’d do that willingly.”

“You’re all wrong,” Lizzie tells them politely. Or as politely as she can. Things are a-movin’ and she’s excited; she can already feel her legs tingling when she accidentally siphons some of Landon’s magic from his hand on her knee under the table. She swallows down the smugness in her voice, because this is exactly where she’d hoped the day would go. She turns to Landon, and wills him not to look so pale.

“Pucker up, ‘90s,” she coos.

Keeping her face as forced-smiley as possible she leans forward and gives Landon a peck on his lips. A small little one. A peck really, bird to bird.

Landon, to her discreet pleasure, kisses her back.

When they part their chaste, publicly-acceptable form of display, everyone is looking at them, shell-shocked.

Penelope steals Jed’s can of Coke just so she could do a spit-take.

 —

 “That plan worked out awesome. Score one to Saltzman,” Lizzie sighs victoriously as she plops down onto her bed. “Now on to Phase 2.”

“I really don’t want to know what Phase 2 is,” Landon mumbles. He’s got his arm slung over his eyes as he slumps three inches down into Lizzie’s plushy pink armchair.

“Phase 2 is Mom walking into us. She’s about to start baking downstairs. I know. It’s Tuesday. Ready?”

Slowly, Landon removes his arms. He stares at her. For like, a really long time. “What do you mean,” he widens his eyes, “by walking into us.”

Lizzie smiles deviously. Without warning, she lets out a very soft moan.

“Lizzie,” Landon hisses harshly.

“Yes, exactly, keep doing that,” Lizzie responds in a breathless voice, whilst she grins manically at him and flaps her hands, motioning for him to go louder.

“Lizzie,” Landon groans now, completely exasperated. “It’s barely been two days, I really doubt we’ll be having sex right now—”

“Yeah, keep talking dirty to me!” Lizzie all but bellows and jumps up on the bed, the mattress squeaking. She glares at Landon, who sighs, and very reluctantly joins her.

They jump up and down, and every so often Lizzie punches Landon in the arm so he lets out a believable grunt.

The mattress springs keep squeaking. Lizzie keeps up her panting.

After four more minutes of that, Landon’s a little out of breath, puts some spring in his jump, and lands in a pile of Lizzie’s haphazard pillows.

“Give it up, Lizzie,” he says, resuming his previous moping position of arm-over-eyes. “I think I pulled a muscle.”

“Sexy,” Lizzie says the way one might say ‘rancid foot’, but drops down next to him anyway. She stares at the ceiling, and they let out a long sigh.

After about another four minutes of moping, Lizzie turns to her side and swats Landon’s arm off his face. “Enough! Tomorrow night is another day.”

“That doesn’t even make sense,” he points out, before propping himself up on one elbow to face her. “About that kiss just now—”

“They totally bought it,” Lizzie can’t resist interrupting.

“You sure you okay with this?” he mumbles in that Landon way of his. He studies her face. She notes the dark circles framing his obsidian-blues.

“Getting cold feet already, Kirby?”

“No, it’s just that—”

Her door swings open. “Elizabeth, do you remember where your mum put the…”

Lizzie and Landon whip around to see a very livid Professor M, staring at them, at the space between them, at the sweat beading on Landon’s forehead, at Lizzie’s once-sleek French braid that has now shaken loose, at the two of them again, at the space between them, and once more at Landon.

“Professor Mika-Mikaels—” Landon squawks, turning white as a sheet.

The growl that emanates from Professor M seems to make the room tremble, and Landon all but stutters to a stop. Lizzie, however, is coming up sunflowers. She practically bounces to her knees and throws her hands up, eyes crinkling warmly, exclaiming, “What did you need of me, my beloved stepfather!”

“Well, darling, I was looking for your mother’s ridiculously expensive sea salt but now I’m looking for something else entirely,” he grits out through clenched teeth, despite being slightly mollified by Lizzie’s welcome.

“And that is?” Lizzie all but croons, making a very conscious move towards Landon. “We’re kind of in the middle of studying right now.”

“Banishing objects, hm? Your books are missing.”

“Invisique,” Lizzie sings in reply. Landon just wants her to shut the fuck up, right now.

Landon’s head disappears, which is a good thing, because he looks like he’s holding in from puking his guts out, the way Klaus observes him like he’s a piece of meat.

“You’re the phoenix, yes?”

“Yes,” Landon says squeamishly.

“Alright,” Professor M seems to deliberate, before flashing over to Landon, grabbing him and throwing him out the room and right down the stairs.

“Niklaus Mikaelson!” comes her mom’s furious bellow.

“For FUCK’S SAKE, KLAUS!” She hears Dad yell. “WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS.”

Screams erupt, there’s a clattering of feet, and Lizzie falls out of bed in a perfect traumatised swoon, back of her hand rested delicately on her forehead. “Stepfather! Can we not with the dramatics!”

“We’re going to have a talk about this later,” he warns with a finger wagging her way, his undisguised rage making his accent thicker.

“I’ll miss you when you’re suspended again,” Lizzie pouts.

He groans, already hearing Mom’s boots stomping up the stairs. “As shall I, my sweet.”

 —

 At least Landon’s gotten used to resurrecting. Cause of death: the ire of Professor Klaus Mikaelson.

Lizzie’s waiting for him with a warm blanket when he starts to stir, her head facing the sky like she’s enjoying the sunset. Blinking groggily, he turns onto his stomach and rubs the back of his neck. He feels the weather-worn wood of the docks pressing into his face and he groans. That’s going to leave a mark.

“Welcome back,” Lizzie quips.

“Just because I can’t die doesn’t mean I wouldn’t appreciate some sympathy, Lizzie,” Landon mutters, throwing her a murderous look. “So what’s your damage.”

“Let’s see,” Lizzie says as she drapes the blanket over Landon’s crumpled heap of a body, face and all. “Two weeks of grounding. Mom suggested making it three weeks, but Dad intervened and said he’d rather us be on library duty instead for the rest of this semester.”

“Us?”

“Professor M also suggested throwing you out the window and have me try to levitate you before you hit the ground—”

“Jesus fucking Christ.”

“—but Mom was all Oh, maybe that’s a little too harsh,” Lizzie continues thoughtfully.

“A little?” Landon squeaks underneath the blue and white embroidered quilt. “Literally dying wasn’t enough?”

“But on the plus side, they were yelling so hard the entire school now knows we were caught post-doing the dirty.” Lizzie shoots him a grin. “On to Phase 3!”

“No!” Landon yells and clambers to his feet. “Lizzie, so far all your plans have kind of sucked for me, you know? How the hell is Hope supposed to like me now that she thinks I’ve slept with you!”

“Easy, lover boy,” Lizzie says, frowning. “This is the 21st century, she’s not a prude.”

“You don’t — you don’t know her like I do,” Landon says, burying his face in his hands and turning towards the water. “She’s not like y…”

He whirls around, hands already halfway lifting up like a gesture of apology but Lizzie’s already standing up, facing him squarely. Her eyes are narrowed as she takes him in coolly. “Not like?”

“Nevermind,” Landon says quickly. “Let’s grab some dinner, I’m starv—”

“Finish your fucking sentence, Frodo,” Lizzie says in a voice that is low and dangerous. Is it weird that he’s seeing some Klaus in the shadows of her face right now?

“Lizzie… let’s drop it.”

“No. Let’s hear you say it. Not like what? You were saying she’s not like me,” she hisses. Her fists are bunched into tight fists and he’s so glad she doesn’t have anything to syphon right now. He really hasn’t tried dying twice in the span of 12 hours.

“Look, I’m sorr—”

“Invisique,” she whispers.

“Lizzie!”

He hears the wooden boards squeak as she runs away, and when her feet hit grass there’s no telling where she might be.

“Fuck you, Landon!” he yells and heaves a rock into the water with a loud splash.

Legacies Recap: Another Saltzman Birthday Ends in Death and Betrayal

Absorbing your sister feels like a weird theme for a birthday party, but try telling that to Josie Saltzman. No, really, we’re too afraid to say anything.

The newly crowned queen of darkness returned to the Salvatore School on Thursday’s Legacies to celebrate her big 1-7, beginning with a special gift for Lizzie: an early Merge! And to prove that she was absolutely not screwing around, Josie also killed Alyssa Chang, which was kind of a gift for… everyone but Jed, I guess? (Oh, don’t give me that look. Alyssa was a menace! Besides, Olivia Liang has already landed a starring role on The CW’s Kung Fu pilot. We’ll all be fine.)

Hope devised a pretty decent plan to trap Josie in a mental prison long enough to detoxify her, but that hinged on Lizzie winning the Merge, and Alyssa’s final words weren’t exactly encouraging. (“I don’t need a crystal ball to tell you that she’s going to tear you apart.”) So Lizzie did what any normal target would do in her position — she got the hell out of Mystic Falls. And even though MG was supposed to bring her back, he quickly became her accomplice. (“If you’re running, I’m running, too.”) Cutest li’l runaways ever.

But here’s the thing about MG — you can’t spend too much time around him without an experiencing an emotional epiphany, so it wasn’t long before Lizzie raced back to school… and just in time to stop her sister from impaling Hope on a spike! “Did you really think you’d be the one to bring out my good side?” Josie asked Hope. “I don’t even think she really likes you.” Lies. All lies. (And here’s a potentially controversial question: Am I the only person who wanted Hope to die here? Not to rush things along, but I’m ready for her to activate those vampire powers!)

Then came the moment we thought we had five more years to prepare for, as the Saltzman twins held hands and began chanting the Merge spell. Visually, it was just like when Kai and Luke merged on The Vampire Diaries all those years ago (video below!), but the emotional impact was significantly more intense. Give or take a few time jumps, we’ve been following these girls since their conception. And now they’re merging?! If nothing else, it was a real “Sunrise, Sunset” moment for longtime fans.

Oh, and how could I forget to mention the big Lizzie-MG moment? She planted a big ol’ kiss on him before battling her sister, adding this small disclaimer at the end: “Just to be clear, that was for you, not me. Just in case I lose.” Fortunately, she didn’t lose. At least not… technically? Honestly, all I know is that Hope’s potion tethered Lizzie’s life to Landon’s, so she was instantly revived when she died. But if she won, why did she die at all? Feel free to pick apart the mythological aspect of this week’s big twist in the comments section below.

When the dust settled, Lizzie awoke in Alaric’s office to learn that Hope has infiltrated Josie’s subconscious — and until she comes out, Lizzie needs to make like a corpse and play dead.

Elsewhere in the episode…

* Rafael’s scattered memories finally aligned this week — and the truth was not what we were expecting. It turns out he was murdered (by Chad?!) after returning from his recent trip, and now he’s one of The Necromancer’s undead puppets. Fearing that he might hurt someone he cares about, Rafael begged Landon to kill him, a favor that was emphatically refused. Little did Landon realize, Rafael was holding the golden arrow, which he used to stab the phoenix to… death?

* Alaric had a fun little subplot involving the magic box that sent everyone to a noir nightmare last week. I don’t have much to say about it, other than that I’m eternally grateful to the entire Legacies writing staff for continuing to get Matt Davis into Indiana Jones costumes. That’s twice in one season!

* I still can’t believe that Chad (?!) is the one who killed Rafael, but I did love this line from him tonight: “Hope always has an awesome plan… and somehow also has time for relationship stuff, too.”

* I also appreciated Josie’s response to Chad and The Necromancer when they feared their favorite show (i.e. spying on the kids) was about to get canceled. (“More like getting a spinoff.”)

OK, let’s break this all down: What was you reaction to Lizzie and MG’s kiss? Did you see Rafael’s reluctant betrayal coming? And what do we think is going to happen to Hope inside Josie’s brain? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

NSFW Alphabet List (Lizzie Saltzman)

Requested by anons: Hello, i love your NSFW of Hope. Can you also do one for Josie, Penelope and Lizzie? Thank you!

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Even though she may not look like it, Lizzie is actually the most caring girlfriend ever. She is very detail oriented, and this translates over to taking care of you. Lizzie will not be able to stop herself from touching your face all the time and making sure you’re okay. Being able to feel you beside her is the best thing because Lizzie just loves you so much, and she’s so grateful that you’re always so patient with her.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Lizzie has always believed that every part of her is perfect, and she makes sure that everyone knows that as well. However, once she started dating you, she’s really grown to like her hands. This is mainly because she really likes touching you whenever she can, and she loves it when you’re holding hands and your thumb traces circles on her hand.

Lizzie loves staring at your lips. Whenever you’re talking, she’ll unashamedly stare at your mouth and wait until you’re done to kiss you. There are definitely times when she has interrupted you because she just can’t wait to feel your lips on hers. There’s also the fact that your mouth has made her feel good when you two are alone together, and Lizzie can’t help but blush whenever she thinks about you in that way.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically)

Lizzie came so fast the first time you slept together that she couldn’t help but blush every time she looks at you. It took her a long while to relax around you, and she’s so glad that she did. She loves how you took the time to learn how to take care of her and make her feel good. She is very enthusiastic about learning how to make you feel good too, and will ask you what makes you happy so that she will be able to make you feel as good as you make her feel.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Lizzie might love being in control in all public aspects of her life, but she loves it whenever you take control in the bedroom. There is just something about you throwing her on the bed and having her for yourself for the rest of the day (or night). Even though she loves it whenever you get on top, she loves making you feel good even more. She’ll make sure to plan events such that there will be times when she won’t be missed so that the two of you can sneak out and do things together.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Lizzie doesn’t have too much experience when it comes to sex, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t thought about all the things she wants to do when she finally finds someone who’s good enough for her to sleep with. You were fairly surprised at how wild Lizzie was willing to get, and she loves how she can make you blush. Ever since she started sleeping with you, she knew that you were the one for her and that she didn’t want to be with anyone else. Lizzie did a lot of research before sleeping with you, but she’s quickly learned to relax whenever she’s with you.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Lizzie loves it whenever you’re on top of her, kissing her neck while putting your fingers inside of her. It seems like you know exactly how to drive her crazy and she loves how loud you make her moan whenever you push her against the wall. Everyone knew that you two were hooking up even though you both tried to hide it, and Josie can feel her ears burn whenever she walks past the room that she shares with her sister. It’s no secret that Lizzie just can’t get enough of you (and your body...but mostly you).

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

When you first started developing feelings for Lizzie and wanted to sleep with her, she was one of the most nervous people you’ve ever slept with. She was so afraid of messing up and not making you happy that you could tell her hands were shaking. It took you slowing down to make sure that she was okay for her to calm down and enjoy herself. Now that she’s more comfortable around you, she loves it when you make her laugh with your jokes.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Lizzie has always liked to keep everything neat down there.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…) 

When she first realized she had started to develop feelings for you, Lizzie was so scared to mess things up. She knew you would be someone very special to her, and for the longest time she used snarkiness and sarcasm as a self-defense mechanism. However, you were able to see past that and somehow you wormed your way past all of her defenses, and before long she realized that you held the key to her heart. Once she found the courage to ask you out on a date, she would always go the extra mile to make you feel special and loved. There is nothing that Lizzie wouldn’t do to make you feel like you were the most important person in her life.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Lizzie has always been able to take matters into her own hands, so to speak, but something always felt missing. She knew that she would most likely be less snarky if she slept with someone, but no one at school was hot enough. Ever since you came into her life as a new student at the Salvatore School, everything changed and she just couldn’t get off anymore by just touching herself. It wasn’t until she accidentally imagined having your fingers inside of her that she realized all she wanted was to have sex with you. 

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

To Lizzie, there is nothing quite like having you tie her up and making her moan all night long. You are one of the few people that she trusts with absolutely everything, and she knows that you’ll never try to take advantage of her. Whenever you get on top of her, she knows she’s in for a good time. The moans that come out of her mouth whenever you tie her up is enough to make anyone blush, but you’re usually too far gone to care if anyone is listening. Students have learned to avoid certain hallways when they see Lizzie drag you out of class. 

Siphoning magic from you has always given Lizzie a rush, and she loves doing it when you have sex with her. She likes to feel as powerful as you, and she will not hesitate to us her powers to “enhance” your experience, so to speak. There have been more than one occasion when Lizzie has been jealous because a new student wouldn’t stop flirting with you, and every werewolf and vampire has to learn how to shut off their ears for a solid week after each incident.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

After a few months of dating, you’ve come to realize that horniness can strike Lizzie no matter where you are. You’re pretty sure Dr. Saltzman will never allow you to borrow his minivan on “school-related trips” ever again if he found out exactly what you and his daughter have been doing in the backseat on the way back from school. Your girlfriend is willing to have sex pretty much everywhere, and you’re certainly not complaining. The only reason why you two haven’t been caught yet is the fact that you have super-hearing and you’ll whisk her away before anyone can have a good look. 

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

There is nothing that can hide how horny you make Lizzie, and she blushes every time you catch her staring at you. Everything from the dress you’re wearing to the school dance to how you concentrate on the work that you’re doing, Lizzie cannot stop thinking about how hot you are. There are times when she can’t resist herself and she will drag you off and pull your pants off because she just can’t help herself from being handsy with you. 

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

There’s not much that Lizzie won’t do, but something that’s definitely a no-no is sharing you with anyone else. She has done her research when it comes to trying new things, and when she came across threesomes she immediately knew it was something that she didn’t want to do. Lizzie has always been possessive of you because she never wants to even think about 

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Lizzie is nothing if not enthusiastic when it comes to eating you out and making you feel good. She will make sure to ask you what you like and will try to go down on you accordingly. When you first started dating you caught her trying to do research when it comes to making girls feel good, but you told her that it’s best if things went along naturally instead of forcing things. After a few times of sleeping with one another, she will know exactly how to make you moan and feel good. It also helps that Lizzie loves the way you taste, and she will do her best to spend as much time as possible between your legs.

You make Lizzie feel so good whenever you go down on her that she will have to hold herself back from coming too quickly. Most of the time she isn’t able to hold herself back and you are able to make her come several times in a row. She loves how you spend your time with her to make sure she feels good, and the moans that she lets out is proof enough of how good you make her feel.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Lizzie loves it when you’re fast and rough with her, especially when she’s also horny for you. There are days when she’s jealous or horny, and she will drag you off to somewhere more private so she can have you however she wants. There is just something about being rough with you that gets Lizzie going unlike anything else. However, she also loves it when you’re slow and gentle with her because she also wants to take her time with you. There’s just something about having you on top of her and touching her everywhere that makes Lizzie just wild.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Lizzie is the queen of quickies at the Salvatore School, and she made that crystal clear when you two started hooking up. Everything from hooking up in hallways after hours to doing things in the kitchen after she caught you grabbing a midnight snack, Lizzie wants to feel your body on hers, and you are definitely not complaining when she asks you if you want to have sex. There have been a few times when you’ve been late to class because you were “busy” with things, but thankfully everyone has kept their mouth shut with the real reason why you’ve been late.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Lizzie has always been willing to experiment with you, and she has a list of things that she wants to try with you. There are some things that cause her to blush, but she knows you’ll be down to try pretty much anything with her. Even though you’re physically stronger than her most of the time, she always wants to protect you and make sure you’re physically safe at all times.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

When you first started sleeping with Lizzie, she didn’t have the longest stamina. It doesn’t help that you’re very skilled with your tongue and can get Lizzie moaning in no time. As the two of you started sleeping with each other more and more, she began to learn how to hold out on herself until you come too. To Lizzie, there is nothing quite like having you come first instead of her. There’s nothing quite like having her take care of you first.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Lizzie doesn’t have that much experience with toys but started looking into them once she realized that she really liked having sex with you. She even went to go ask Penelope if she had any suggestions to spice things up in the bedroom, and Penelope could not stop thinking about who could possibly have captured the heart of the resident ice queen. Lizzie loves how you are able to use toys to make her come faster in bed, and you use toys to make your girlfriend’s legs shake after you’re done.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Lizzie loves teasing you so much that she should start a contest on who can tease their girlfriends the most. She’ll wink at you when you’re presenting in class, and if Dr. Saltzman is driving you two somewhere she’ll have her hand wander dangerously high on your thigh. She has no shortage of blouses and dresses that tease you just enough to tease you into dragging her off to a more private area at school. Lizzie loves how teasing you makes you act, and she is more than willing to do naughty things with you during school hours. You, on the other hand, knows exactly how weak you make Lizzie when you touch her in class and during school meetings. You’ll tease her and then pretend you’re concentrating on something else, and you’ll wait for Lizzie to explode with impatience before giving her what she wants. 

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Lizzie is the loudest girlfriend you’ve ever had, and you would honestly not have it any other way. Things usually get so loud that Josie has put a noise blocking spell for the sake of everyone else at school. When Lizzie wondered why no one was complaining about the noise you two make anymore, Josie told her that she took care of it to save everyone’s ears from your activities in the bedroom.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Even though it may seem like Lizzie can be very controlling, she is the most thoughtful girlfriend when it comes to taking care of you and your feelings. Lizzie gets so happy when she sees you smile because of her, and she will do anything to make you happy. Before you two started dating, Lizzie will usually put herself first before anyone else, but now that you’re together she will put you first before anything, even herself. Everyone can see how happy you make Lizzie.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Lizzie has a pretty toned body, and she loves it whenever she lies on top of you and you trace your fingers in random patterns over her body.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Lizzie had an average sex drive before you started dating, but her sex drive went through the roof after she started having sex with you. She used to blush whenever she felt horny, but she knows that you’ll want her too whenever she wants you. Now she feels horny all the time and she knows only you are to blame. She loves the fact that you are ready and willing to please her whenever she feels physically needy for you (which is all the time). There is nothing quite like having you on top of her when she wants you.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

You love how you wear out Lizzie pretty quickly after sex. Going several rounds with you is enough to wear anyone out, and Lizzie falls asleep like a log on top of you. There are nights when you two just stay up and talk about your day, and Lizzie just gushes about everything that has happened to her. You love listening to her voice after sex, and Lizzie loves how you look at her whenever she talks. There’s nothing quite like having you stroke her hair while she tells you about how she’s the smartest person at school (besides you of course). Lizzie just loves having you beside her so much, and you love feeling her body beside yours.

NSFW Alphabet List (Josie Saltzman)

Requested by several anons: Can you do a NSWF alphabet with josie saltzman? Please?

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Josie is so caring when it comes to being with you, and she definitely enjoys taking care of you after sex. She’s initially so shy whenever she was around you, but after some time, she got much more comfortable when she was around you. Feeling your warmth all around her after the two of you have sex makes Josie feel so safe. You never fail to make her feel so safe, and Josie loves that about you.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Josie has always liked her lips because she loves the way you can’t take your eyes off of her lips whenever she talks to you. She always blushes when she realizes how horny you are for her, and she loves it whenever you lean in to kiss her. The first time you kissed her felt magical, and she can’t wait to feel that way every single day you’re together.

If Josie had to choose one part of you that she was crazy about, it would be your butt. She loves watching you train with Hope, but she won’t tell you the real reason why. When you ask her why she loves watching you, she’ll say something about “seeing my girlfriend be a badass”, but the real reason is because she’ll take any excuse to check you out.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically)

When the two of you first started hooking up with each other, Josie would come so quickly on you. Before long, you knew exactly where to touch so that she will come again and again using your fingers. When you went down on her for the first time, she might as well have tried to drown you because she was so turned on by what your tongue was doing to her. You love getting on top of her and making her feel good.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Josie loves it when you drag her out of events to make out or do something more. Most of the time she gets bored anyway, and she loves how you never fail to give you all of her attention. Josie loves it when you drag her out of the event, press her against the wall and just take her right there when everyone else is in the next room. It’s ridiculously hot when you put your hand over her mouth to stifle any moans that she makes because it would never do to have her sister (or dad for that matter) to walk in on you two.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Josie has some experience with sex, but not that much if she’s being honest. She’s had a few experiences where things had nearly led to something more, but she had often stopped things before anything could happen because it just didn’t feel right. She knew you were something special the moment she talked to you, and when you slept together for the first time she knew she wanted to do this with you again and again. Josie had never felt that way about anyone before, and she knows that she had found the one with you.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Josie loves it whenever you get on top of her when you’re making out. The way your mouth goes from her lips to her neck drives her crazy and you know it. You love holding her hips down whenever you’re on top of her, and the feeling of having you in complete control makes Josie want to wildly tear your clothes off. Josie loves how you use your strength to hold her as the two of you hook up, and you love how soft she is whenever you’re with her.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Josie is one of the giggliest people you’ve ever met, and being with you definitely brings out the best in Josie. She loves smiling at you when everything is finished, and you love how relaxed she is when she’s cuddled on top of you. You’ve never had a problem making Josie laugh, and she loves it when you’re making jokes or telling her how ridiculous your day was. Josie just loves being with you because you never fail to make her feel safe and wanted.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Josie keeps everything neat, but it’s not that much of a priority.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Josie loves the fact that you’re almost as intimate of a girlfriend as she is. Lying in bed with you is the best way she can think of when it comes to spending time with each other over the weekend. It also helps that you always put her as a priority and never fail to make her feel safe and loved. There are times when you can’t make it home because of some mission that requires you to be out of town for a while, and Josie just buries her face in your favorite sweater and pretend it’s a hug from you. It never compares to the real thing, and she can’t wait to actually have you there with her.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Whenever you’re on a mission that requires you to be gone for an extended period of time, Josie has to settle with taking care of business herself. She knows that you’d be more than willing to take care of her needs if you were around, but she needs your hands on her now. When she closes her eyes, it’s almost like having you on top of her and she cums pretty quickly. However, after she’s done, she’ll want you to be by her side even more and she’ll pretty much tackle you the moment you come back.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Nothing turns Josie on more than when you get on top of her and make her moan all night. She loves it whenever you take control over her, and she’s willing to let you take control over whatever happens when you two are in bed together. There are nights when she doesn’t want you to ever stop, and you seem to read her mind when you don’t let her move from out under you until you’re done with her. You’ve left her shaking on more than one occasion, and Josie loves you for that.

There have been times when Josie has been jealous because a new student had flirted with you. Jealous sex with Josie usually means that she’ll be the one leaving hickies on you. She’ll push you on the bed and make sure that you know you belong to her. It’s such a turn on to have her on top of you all night long, and Josie knows how much you like it whenever she decides to take control.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Josie loves doing things with you anywhere and everywhere. However, she really likes having sex with you in her room because the two of you can spend as much time with each other as you want. Lizzie is really glad that she moved out of the room because some of the things that the other students have said they heard through the door make her shudder. Josie has gotten into the habit of using a locking spell on the door whenever the two of you are about to have sex so no one will accidentally walk in.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Everything about makes Josie want you even more. Whenever she sees you doing your homework or helping with washing dishes, Josie wants to be with you. There’s nothing like dragging you off to her room and having you all to herself for the rest of the day. Luckily for her, your sex drive is extremely high and you’re ready and willing to be with her any time during the day or night. Josie loves it whenever you’re horny for her because that means she gets to spend more time with you.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Josie has been exploring what she likes and doesn’t like when it comes to sex, and there are some things that she is not open to. Things like doing things in places that are too public is something that Josie isn’t up for. The thought of having someone walking in on the two of you makes her too nervous to be up for anything. Other than that, Josie is pretty much open to anything that you might want.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Even though Josie might not have the most experience when it comes to eating girls out, she is a very enthusiastic learner. She loves how you taste, and now she can proudly say that she’s able to tease you for a very long time before giving you what you want. All she has to do is to hold your hips down with her hands and she knows she’ll have you at her mercy. She knows that her innocent smile makes you want to return the favor, and she loves the effect that she has on you. There is nothing that Josie likes more than eating you out.

There is nothing better in the world to Josie than having your head between her legs as you eat her out. The feeling of having your tongue inside her as she lays back in bed is like nothing else to her. There are times when you make her feel so good that she presses your head closer to her, and that’s when you know you’re definitely doing a good job pleasing your girlfriend.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Josie loves being soft and gentle with you, but she also loves it when the two of you are rough with each other because you’ve missed each other. When you’re gentle with Josie, you love hearing her moan as you take your time with her and make her feel good. She also loves it whenever you’re rough with her because both of you get horny a lot and she just wants to have you right then and there. Josie loves the fact that there’s not a lot of talking while you two are having sex, and she gets to curl up on top of you after everything is done.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Josie loves having quickies with you and will not hesitate to drag you into a private area of the school that only she knows about in order to have you. Even though she may be shy and reserved most of the time, there is nothing reserved about a horny Josie who wants to have her girlfriend. You can’t count the number of times that the two of you have been late to class because you couldn’t keep your hands off each other. If it weren’t for Josie’s charming smile, you suspect that you would be in detention more times than you can count.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Josie is always open to trying new things with you, and she loves it when she finds something new that she likes. She won’t admit it if you ask her, but she likes to Google what’s new and then try to pretend to bring it up casually. You know full well what Josie’s looking at when she’s trying very hard not to blush, but you love it because you love trying these new things with her.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Josie didn’t last for too long when you first started sleeping together. She will come so fast when you’re on top of her, and she would be embarrassed even though there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. However, now that the two of you have had some time to sleep with each other, Josie’s stamina has picked up considerably. Now the two of you can go for round after round until both of you are tired. Josie loves lying on top of you and listening to your heartbeat after sex.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Josie was very shy about bringing toys into the bedroom at first, but she soon came to realize that toys only help to enhance the experience of having sex with you. She finds it extremely hot whenever you bring out her favorite strap-on, and she loves it when you use your remote control vibrator on her. You know full well that you can please Josie using nothing more than your mouth and your fingers, but using toys to make your girlfriend feel good is something that you love doing.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Josie loves teasing you, and she loves how much you blush whenever she sends you a particularly cheeky text. She’ll come over and give you an innocent kiss on the cheek, and she loves it when she sees the goosebumps on your skin after she kisses you. There is no doubt in her mind that you’re staring at her as she walks out of the room after teasing you. However, she’s got nothing on how much you love teasing her back. You love whispering what you want to do to her when the two of you are alone in her ear, and this causes Josie to have to clamp her legs together. You’ll slowly brush a strand of hair from her face as you give her a slow kiss, and you know full well that Josie will not let you leave the bed until she gets you back for teasing her like this.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

When things get heated (which it so often does), the two of you make quite the loud pair. Luckily, Josie was kind enough to do a noise-dampening spell around her room so that other people won’t be disturbed by your after hour activities. The two of you would like to think that you are being sneaky, but it doesn’t take a genius for everyone to figure out what’s been going on in your room.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Josie may look like the most innocent girl at school, but you know for a fact that she is not so innocent when the doors are closed. You’re the one who’s usually walking out of your room with hickies all over your neck, and you’re definitely not going to complain whenever Josie tells you she wants to get on top tonight. Sure, Josie likes being taken cared for, but she also likes to take control and make you feel good. You’re more than happy to take care of her wants and needs, both in and out of the bedroom.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Josie has a pretty average build, and you honestly would not have it any other way because you love being the stronger girlfriend.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Josie is pretty horny almost all the time, and you’re certainly not complaining. If she’s feeling particularly bold, she is not above sending you some racy pictures if she wants you to meet her in her room as soon as possible. You try not to blush whenever you see those pictures, and you race towards Josie’s room as soon as you can to make out with your girlfriend (and do something more -- a lot more). Both of you are very horny for each other, and this causes Lizzie to roll her eyes at both of you.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Josie falls asleep pretty quickly after sex. The main reason is because having you on top is pretty strenuous exercise, and Josie needs all the rest that she can get. There are nights when she can get pretty restless, and she usually just stays up and listens to your heartbeat until she’s able to close her eyes. Josie loves the fact that you don’t seem to mind her clambering on top of you in order to have a good night’s sleep. It also helps that you’re really warm and Josie gets to hug you whenever she wants. She really loves holding your shirt to her face because smelling your scent makes Josie feel incredibly safe.

‘Legacies’ season 2, episode 9 review: ‘I’m THEE…Ted. I’m Ted. Sigh.’

I am so glad that Legacies season 2, episode 9 has brought our Salvatore School crew back. And now that we’ve met the Alyssa Chang, I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Before we took a break for the holidays, we saw Hope return to everyone’s memory, Landon choose to get back together with her, leaving Josie alone, and none other than THE NECROMANCER! was unveiled as the creature beneath the red cloak wreaking havoc in Mystic Falls. For a full refresher on Legacies season 2, episode 8, check out our review.

But now, it’s time to dig into all things Legacies season 2, episode 9, “I Couldn’t Have Done This Without You.”

From ‘Master of Death’ to ice cream scooper

I really didn’t know what I wanted after learning that THE NECROMANCER! was back at the end of the Legacies season 2 midseason finale. I never expected to get an entire episode of Ben Guerens as a completely human, suddenly powerless version of our hell-raiser. This was absolutely freaking delightful, and while I don’t know how long he will continue to be hanging around causing all sorts of trouble, I can’t help but be delighted to have his enthusiasm back.

Watching him take his journey from powerless mortal back to the necromancer he’s always been was interesting, and now I can’t help but wonder what role Chad will be playing as the season rolls forward.

Introducing Alyssa Chang

Is there anyone who wasn’t excited to see Olivia Liang portray Alyssa Chang? We’ve been hearing about her since the pilot, so I was more than excited to finally meet the witchy powerhouse.

I don’t know if I expected to love or hate her, but I find I’m pretty much neither. I’m intrigued by Alyssa Chang. While I wasn’t too happy about her treatment of Hope in regards to the whole roomie thing, I did love how loyal she felt toward M.G. Our favorite, comic-loving vamp needs more people in his corner, especially when the Saltzman twins keep running hot and cold on him all the time. It’s nice to know there’s someone else around to have his back when Kaleb is MIA.

I’m not sure if I love how she set Sebastian up to fail his test, or if I resent her for casting judgement on him before giving him a chance, but, I’m willing to give her loyalty to Lizzie and M.G. the edge here. Maybe it’s the Damon fan in me, but I keep seeing how similar Sebastian’s vibe is to TVD season 1 Damon. He’s just been resurrected after a VERY long dessication, and he’s not the good, kind-hearted vamp at heart. If he sticks around on Legacies, I can see a long and winding road to redemption for him, much like we watched Damon Salvatore tread.

Break-up and make-up awkwardness

It was inevitable that this episode was going to be full of awkwardness, with Josie and Landon still getting past all their break-up awkward, Hope and Josie trying to navigate a world where they both love Landon, and Hope and Landon trying to find their way back to some semblance of the normal they felt in Legacies season 1.

My greatest sympathies lie with Josie, even if I do think that Handon is my couple of the moment. While Hope and Landon are good together, I really do want to see Josie happy, so imagine the size of my grin at the end of this episode where all three parties find ways to bond in their new awkward and put the hard stuff behind them. I was basically brimming with glee whenever they were on screen.

“This is a seminal work of fiction, not something to run your horny clock out.”

I’m glad that M.G. is keeping Lizzie in her place a little. I thought it was cute that she wanted to bond with M.G. over his comics, but when we learned that it was just an effort to distract herself from Sebastian, I quickly turned on her. Not cool, Lizzie. Not cool. (Even if the tie in to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event was super fun to see.)

But, seriously, though. Good on M.G. for standing up for himself and his interests and not allowing her to use him to distract herself. He deserves better, and I’m glad he recognizes that.

Is Landon really powerless?

There was a lot of heavy-handed talk about Landon’s lack of power in Legacies season 2, episode 9. No matter how long Sebastian and him spent together, the ancient vamp could not stop trying to emasculate Landon for being less powerful than Hope.

While I’m really happy that Landon isn’t afraid to be less powerful than his tribrid lady, I can’t help but wonder if we’re being set up for another huge reveal in the second half of season 2. Legacies season 1, episode 13, “The Boy Who Still Has a Lot of Good to Do” was the episode we learned Landon was a phoenix, so could Legacies season 2, episode 13 be when we learn the extent of a phoenix’s powers?

Because there’s got to be more to being a phoenix than just coming back to life. Having a power like that at your fingertips has to mean there’s more he can do. It’s just going to take the perfect set of circumstances to bring forward any other powers he might have boiling under the surface. I’m wondering if there isn’t some healing, superspeed, or SOMETHING else waiting for him to discover.

Is Chad going to be this season’s true hero?

I mean, his introduction, death, and resurrection in this episode has me wondering what role he might play as season 2 goes on. Will he be THE NECROMANCER!’s undoing? Or just a simple, loyal acolyte to the king of the undead? Only time will tell, but I won’t be forgetting him anytime soon, that’s for sure.

Josie’s little premonition

There are exactly three visuals that we see when Josie starts magically messing with the mora miserium. They are: someone smashing the mora miserium in front of a large fireplace, an image of the entire Salvatore School engulfed in flames, and an image of Josie who had clearly gone full Dark Willow. (Like, seriously, the look of it is SO reminiscent of what Willow looked like when she went dark on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)

I’m curious if this was just the mora miserium trying to convince her to let it out, or whether this was a true sort of premonition of a future that could be if they don’t find a way to get rid of the mora miserium safely.

Friendship restored!

That three-way hug!! I’m really glad that Hope, Josie, and Landon have been able to individually work on their relationships. We saw Hope helping Josie, Josie helping Landon, and Landon leaning on Hope. Everyone is doing the work to get back to the friends they were before all the Malivore-memory-related shenanigans.

I really need Hope and Josie to keep bonding, because I love them having each other to lean on. With all the craziness going on for both of them, it’s really important to me that they have each other to go to in times of trouble, stress, or emotional upheaval.

KYM IS BACK!! Now where’s Kaleb?

Okay, so I didn’t think twice when Dorian kept mentioning his intern, but OMG! It’s Kym! Talk about ecstatic. I don’t know where Kaleb was supposed to have been for the entirety of this episode, but knowing that soon we will have Kaleb, M.G., and Kym all together again is giving me life. I loved their dynamic earlier this season when they were investigating the Croatoan, so there is bound to be some great stuff for them coming down the pike.

Bye Sebastian… the pirate vampire?

So, Sebastian is most definitely in TVD season 1 Damon mode. He’s purposely pushing Alaric’s buttons, he’s head-over-heels for Lizzie, and he’s unable to control his need for chaos. The only question remaining is: Will he end up down a Damon-like path of redemption, or will his story meet a swift and bloody end? Or did it already?

Also, there were a couple of references to Sebastian having a pirate past in this episode that had me wondering where they are taking our new vamp troublemaker. Alaric’s book, Alyssa’s reference to a boat, and when you think back to the Croatoan and the whole Roanoke situation, it would make sense that a pirate could have ended up on the island for all that craziness.

And that original outfit we saw him in. I definitely think it had a pirate-like quality.

I’m definitely eager to see how his pirate-hood may play into later storylines, especially since Alaric did something with him for the time being. Is Sebastian back in his coffin? Is he dead? Did the vamp really choose to leave? I’m sure we’ll find out in Legacies season 2, episode 10, “This Is Why We Don’t Entrust Plans To Muppet Babies.”

Altogether, I think was a great midseason return. We got to see how THE NECROMANCER! came to be back in Mystic Falls, we watched as Sebastian proved himself incapable of following the Salvatore School rules, and we saw Josie, Landon, and Hope well on their way to healing all the ills the first half of the season brought.

I’m anxious to see where the rest of this season takes us after Legacies season 2, episode 9. Have we seen the last of Vardemus? Could we meet the real Vardemus at some point? Is Clark really dead? Is Hope still friends with Maya and Ethan? The questions floating around in my head could go on and on and on and on. But for now, I’ll just trust that there’s a great storyline ahead, and we only have to wait a single week til it arrives this time.

What did you love most about ‘Legacies’ season 2, episode 9?

‘Legacies’ season 2, episode 6 review: Secrets, secrets are no fun

I think we were all ready for Legacies season 2, episode 6. For Freya to make her first (and hopefully not last) appearance on Legacies and for some big plot pieces to start moving forward. And (whoa boy!), did they ever.

After last week’s big reveal about Vardemus and Clark and all that craziness hiding in plain sight, I was so ready for some hard truths to come out. And what better way to get secrets out in the open than a monster who consumes those keeping the biggest secrets? Read on for all my Legacies season 2, episode 6 thoughts and make sure to comment and tell me what you thought of the episode.

Josie visits hallowed Mikaelson ground

So, the raven-haired Saltzman takes a trip to New Orleans in Legacies season 2, episode 6 to get Freya’s help with a spell, but more so to get some motivation to not be selfish. An interesting head trip for Josie to go down, since she’s usually the self-less twin. This sudden and intense flip of her character’s core being is tough for the Josie-loving part of my heart to accept.

I mean, I get why she’s hesitant, she clearly loves Landon and this is going to complicate matters for him, but ultimately, wouldn’t having full knowledge of someone and what they mean to everyone around you better than keeping everyone in the dark? Holding Landon hostage to what he does and doesn’t remember wouldn’t pave an easy path for their relationship to travel, that’s for sure.

Also, who else had some serious The Originals pangs when seeing Cami, Davina, Josh, Jackson and Freya plastered all over the walls of Rousseau’s? I definitely squeaked and covered my mouth at glimpses of all the characters this world has brought us. It also reminded me just how much I NEED Davina, Kol, and/or Marcel to give their niece a visit. Especially now that they remember her existence.

Kym needs to get supernatural because I want her around PERMANENTLY

In classic TVD fashion, as soon as a human wants to see what goes on in the (usually unexhilarating) world of the supernatural, all hell breaks loose. In Legacies season 2, episode 6 that chaos takes the form of a zombie and a Croatoan, but more on their monster selves later.

I am in love with this new character. I want Kym Hawkins to be a frequent visitor to the Salvatore School because she is smart and witty and confident in some truly refreshing ways. She gives Kaleb so much more to do in scenes, especially since he is super protective of her, and clearly wants her to stay human. I never thought Kaleb Hawkins and Elena Gilbert would have something in common, but there you go.

Let’s table this

I love that Hope and Lizzie’s big plan to keep the Malivore puddle hidden from Mystic Falls-ians was to set up a table over it for Commonwealth Day. That alone should have signaled to both of them that the zombie probably didn’t come out of the portal. Someone would have noticed a zombie climbing out from underneath a table. And, I mean, how many monsters have had the Triad symbol carved into their foreheads? I’m pretty sure that a practiced witch like Hope should have recognized it for what it was, a spellmark, but instead, she just believes Lizzie when she tells her its a Malivore monster. And I think it should have been an even bigger red flag when the Croatoan showed up, but maybe that’s just me.

Josie gives me a Davina flashback

We knew from the Legacies season 2, episode 6 trailer that Josie was going to use black magic against Freya, but I have to take a second and talk about what she was actually doing in that scene. At first glance, I thought she was just using magic to get Freya off her back so she could get back to Mystic Falls and make up her mind about whether she wanted everyone to permanently remember or forget Hope Mikaelson.

But now, after having seen the episode in its entirety, I think she made her decision to restore Hope’s memory the minute she saw the picture of Hope and Freya smiling together on that wall. I think it reminded Josie that restoring Hope’s memory is about more than just Landon. It reminded Josie that Hope has a family out there, has loved ones who are suddenly missing a very important piece of the Mikaelson family story.

So, I think when we saw black magic throw Freya to the ground, it was Josie’s first time casting the restoring spell. I say this because Freya would have needed the heads up to travel all the way to Mystic Falls to arrive before that epic reunion with Hope in the town square. So Josie knew what she was doing before she ever stepped foot back in Mystic Falls.

‘Unhand me you turnips!’

That Sebastian. I like having him around. M.G. and Kaleb hatch an ingenious (if not a little risky) scheme to capture Sebastian, and it works like a charm thanks to the human bait, Kym. The biggest takeaway I have from this scene is that Kym is awesome and I hope they get her into as many episodes of Legacies season 2 as possible. She not only annoys the hell out of Kaleb, which is delightful, but she speaks her mind like nobody’s business. I’m telling you, I want her around ALWAYS. Can we make her a super latent witch whose powers were dormant or something? I need her to move to Mystic Falls ASAP.

Another Alyssa Chang reference!

Now that Alyssa Chang has been cast, I’m more aware than ever that Lizzie is constantly mentioning her. I can’t wait to see what adding Olivia Liang to the cast as Alyssa will do to the character dynamic we’ve been building since season 1. I’m sure she’ll fit right in, since most of our faves know her already, but it’ll be nice to not just use her as random miscellaneous Salvatore School character that gets mentioned from time to time.

The Croatoan

So, does anyone else remember learning about Roanoke in school? As soon as Kym said the name of the lost colony, I had flashbacks to one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of American history. From this point on I knew I was going to love this episode, but little did I know how much I was about to learn about the Croatoan.

We’ll leave his creation and all that for the section about Sebastian below, but I have to say that I really liked the concept of this episode. I love the larger mystery surrounding the Croatoan. I love his whole concept and what it forces our faves to confess to. I am really glad this is a part of Legacies season 2, and I can’t wait to see what other monsters they have in store for us after this.

‘I’ll just ask him about ‘Star Wars’ and he’ll talk the whole time’

I need to take a second and just discuss how well Lizzie knows Landon. While she’s definitely not a Jandon shipper, she is so tuned into her sister’s wants and needs that she is paying attention. The second she talked about distracting Landon by asking him questions about Star Wars, I sort of swooned for the observational skills of Lizzie Saltzman.

You know who else Lizzie is not shipping? Hosie. She is so not about Josie and Hope having crushes on each other throughout their childhood. Why is she so against them dating? I’m actually really curious about this, because while I see what she has against Landon, I would think that Josie dating Hope would be a step up from Josie’s exes that Lizzie hates, i.e. Penelope Park.

That late ‘TVD’ season Easter Egg

That candle that Lizzie lit to keep Landon safe, wasn’t that the candle that Bonnie used to keep Enzo in the cabin? My heart broke to see it in use again in Legacies season 2, episode 6.

Sebastian’s history

Not only did we learn about the Croatoan, we learned the how, why, and who of Sebastian’s dessication. Except for how he ended up in the Salvatore School basement, but we won’t worry about that for the time being.

So Cassie, Sebastian’s long lost lady love, was a witch. She summoned the Croatoan to distract the Roanoke colony leadership from hunting Sebastian. She wanted the Croatoan to ferret out everyone else’s lies and leave Sebastian alone, but the Croatoan got out of hand and killed everyone in the village.

Cassie dessicated Sebastian to keep him safe (since he was a vamp that nobody knew about, AKA BIG secret stuff), and that left him unable to save her when the Croatoan attacked her. He had to watch her be dissolved in front of his eyes, and then was left to dessicate for a few centuries. As much as I don’t know how to feel about Sebastian in the present, being helpless to save the woman he loved must have been a truly awful thing to endure.

This sheriff is going to be more Matt Donovan than Elizabeth Forbes

Alaric gave this new sheriff a chance to prove she was willing to be in on the secret world of the supernatural, but she failed with flying colors. It seems that he’s going to have to keep her in the dark when it comes to all things vampire, werewolf, and witch… and phoenix, too. There are going to be a LOT of animal attacks in her tenure as Mystic Falls’ sheriff, maybe even more than during the Liz Forbes era, and that is saying something.

How cool was that spell?!

So how awesome was that spell that Josie cast to reinstate Hope into everyone’s memories? I loved how they chose to visualize it, and that the only supernatural creatures that weren’t knocked out were the two who know who Hope Andrea Mikaelson is.

This show has made some incredible choices when it comes to monsters and magic and how to bring them to the screen, and this spell was a big risk. I think it was really cool to see it as a sort of transparent curtain that only affected those that had prior memories of Hope Mikaelson.

Coming clean

This was definitely the episode for hard truths. Hope is remembered, so that starts a whole wrecking ball of secret-sharing. Hope tells Landon that she knows he almost slept with Josie. Lizzie and Josie admit to each other that they both kept the secret of Hope’s truth. M.G. brings Sebastian back to the Salvatore School and comes clean to Lizzie about how she was seeing Sebastian and why everyone can see him now. Oh, and Raf tells Hope (yet again) that he must stay away from her because of his feelings. I really need him to get on the friendship train. These two have epic friendship written all over them. There were probably a few more truths sprinkled in there, but those are the major ones.

Should Hope continue flirting with the Muggles or return to the magical?

So, now that Hope is remembered and things can get back to some semblance of normal, where is Hope going to go to school? She’s made friends and started building a new life at Mystic Falls High, and clearly Leo and Maya aren’t just going to disappear because Hope’s legacy isn’t lost to Malivore anymore. So, is there a case to make for her continuing at Mystic Falls High and maybe building herself a life completely removed from all things supernatural? Or will she re-enroll at the Salvatore School and pick up where she left off?

That Freya hug

Watching Hope get bad news from Raf was rough, considering what she’s lost and gained in the last 6 episodes, but it was all healed by seeing her reunite with her magical mentor. I don’t know if Freya is going to be appearing in any other episodes anytime soon, but I really wish we could have seen these two get more than a hug. I wanted Freya to talk about how the rest of the family is taking her sudden reemergence into their family memories. Kol, Davina, Rebekah, and Marcel have to have some sort of a reaction to this. But, at least their moment was heartfelt and gratifying. I certainly hope this isn’t the last we see of Aunt Freya.

They’ve got his eye on you

So now there is a free-moving zombie eyeball just hanging out at the Salvatore School. Random, crazy, and totally wierd, I just wonder how long before SOMEONE notices?!?!

And I only have like a hundred different theories about who could be under that red cloak now. The strangest, and least well-conceived is our new sheriff and her kids. They act all normal and human, but who’s to say they aren’t just really good, old supernaturals with an agenda.

Legacies' New Headmaster Speaks: What Does He Have Planned for Josie?

Alexis Denisof (Angel) made his long-awaited debut as Headmaster Vardemus on this week’s Legacies, and while we won’t deny the sorcerer’s ability to rally a crowd, we’re not ready to trust him just yet.

Our suspicions about the Salvatore School’s shady new leader intensified in the final moments of Thursday’s episode when he invited Josie to participate in a brand-new curriculum designed for advanced students — a reward after catching her giving one of her classmates a magical bloody nose.

“I like that a visually outrageous and extroverted character like Vardemus has gravitated towards the more silent-but-deadly Josie,” Denisof tells TVLine. “They have a really interesting dynamic together. She brings out a different aspect of him, and in turn, he brings out some new colors in her character.”

Denisof describes Vardemus and Josie’s involvement as “an interesting line between a connection being made and a bigger story unfolding. Sometimes those will be in agreement, and sometimes in contention.” (Sounds mysterious!)

Below, Legacies‘ new addition answers more of our questions about his character, including how he really feels about Alaric Saltzman:

TVLINE | I have to start with a confession: I spent years thinking you were actually British before someone finally set me straight.

[Laughs] When people meet me, they’re often surprised, or slightly disappointed. They’re expecting Wesley.

TVLINE | I was certainly expecting more of a Wesley vibe with this character, but you’ve managed to craft an entirely different accent. How did you settle on what he would sound like?

I had some fantastic direction to start with, in terms of the character description and the details in the script. I found myself going back and watching older ’50s and ’60s British interviews, particularly with people like Laurence Olivier and Peter O’Toole, trying to channel that generation of accent that isn’t around as much anymore. It’s a little more period, but not so period that it feels too specific. I wanted him to feel like he came from a very different place and time.

TVLINE | He also seems to place a lot of emphasis on appearances.

I think that’s more about him having confidence. And it fits into the way he wants his students to live. He wants them to be confident in themselves, enough to influence the world to their advantage. He has no qualms about that. It’s important that you come to terms with your full self, your full power, and that you use it appropriately.

TVLINE | And how does he feel about the Salvatore School’s former headmaster?

While he has a modicum of respect for the efforts that Alaric made in holding the school together and fighting the various monsters off, that’s a small part of how he feels. There’s more conflict there than there is agreement about style, content and curriculum. That conflict of opinion and essential belief about how the kids should behave and operate and learn to use their powers. It’s great material for their relationship. There’s a lot of fun and teasing. It’s great when characters can enjoy their disagreements with each other.

TVLINE | We’ve seen pictures of Vardemus refereeing the school’s annual football game. That’s quite a look he’s got going on. Is he the sporting type?

In his own way of speaking, he is, but not by the definition of American football. I’d say he’s very much a fish out of water in that sense. He takes a very different approach to how they should play that game.
