Elena, 15!! 😃

...what I think their role in the story is versus what I think it should be.

Initially, I think she's the entry point into the story. She's meant to be the protagonist that is facing overwhelming odds and using any tool at her means to overcome. What's interesting about Elena to me is that the tool she so often resorts to is her own death in order to keep friends and loved ones safe. (As the series goes on she becomes a shallow object that is either meant to redeem another character or as a reward for that character's path to redemption...)

The story dictates a shift for her character after the sacrifice. And we see one but not one that I particularly like. After the sacrifice, Elena should have either A) stayed dead B) stayed dead for awhile with her friends finding a way to bring her back at the end of the season or in the middle of the following season.

As a character (and an audience), I think she needed time away. When she returns let her grapple with her humanity and the cost of it all. With her willingness to sacrifice and what that means for her as well as what it means for her friends. After she comes back I would have loved for that to be the pivot away from the love triangle. She's experienced death and isn't the same person she was before. Isn't the same person these boys fell in love with. There are ramifications to that.

I dislike the doppelganger retcon and do prefer Tatia as being the original so I would like to see Elena's role in the show as being instrumental in a full circle moment, whatever that means plot wise. But her story, in a sense, begins with Esther stealing the immortality spell from Ayana and bastardizing it to create vampires and to punish Tatia. Once the Originals are all on the scene we have a moment where we can close the circle narratively. Elena is there as a narrative representative of Tatia and Bonnie is there as the narrative representative of Ayana. (I don't want to get caught in a rabbit hole but even with the first half of the first season, it is too perfect to set up these two as the main characters. Elena discovers that she's a doppelganger alongside Bonnie discovering she's a witch.)

With these two characters and the Originals all coming back (even Esther), there's this amazing potential of closing that narrative circle and themes of rebirth that would have been cool but kind of gets lost into more of a monster of the season kind of show.

THE TIME HAS COME EVERYONE. ITS TIME TO TALK ABOUT MY EXTENSIVE LIST OF TABI HEADCANONS (hcs are under the cut plus this also counts as a little debrief of his human design bc jesus christ i put so much effort into making this man's design it went through a LOT of trial and error before settling on what i got now considering ive gradually made him less and less "human")

also quick thing b4 i proceed – please please PLEASE ask before making things w my tabi design bc ive seen a rlly cool papercraft made w/o my knowledge and that was kinda sucky so ya thats around it (other than the basics of no nsfw and such)

APPEARANCE HCS

first and foremost — hes half japanese because i remember his aside counterpart being japanese iirc and i thought that was really cool and wanted to implement that into my own little hc (also he speaks like a dozen languages bc of another thing i'll go into detail with in a bit

so many different facial features, scarring (theres a very elaborate reason for this tbh), moles, freckles, etc all bc why not?? (freckles is primarily bc of my bestie crow and now im obsessed)

lashes bc why not, give every man a pair of lashes i think theyre pretty

PIERCINGS. so many piercings. this is primarily because i am a very firm believer that tabi gets piercings done because he wants to feel human again so he finds comfort in decorating himself as much as possible for that reason and also the aesthetic

broken horn bc of the mod events, damage beyond repair and whatnot

HE HAS LONG HAIR BC I SAID SO ‼️‼️ i figured considering he's been invisible for so long he never really knew what to do when it came to cutting his hair, so eventually it grew out to around his waist, and he kept that hairstyle ever since (he prefers wearing his hair in a ponytail or smth bc sensory issues when it comes to hair touching his skin)

a lot of tater's hcs infected my brain hehehehehe especially the tail and his hands still being what they were when they were cursed (also. paw beans. /vpos)

HES TRANS ‼️‼️ hes also very dumb and has very little regard for his health and forgets to take his binder off a lot (trust me he gets scolded a lot for that)

GENERAL HCS

hes autistic and has adhd — the autism hc i lowkey stole from crow but the adhd hc ive had for a long long while now — one of his lifelong special interests is performing arts and musicals

chronic insomniac — sleep? never heard of her

plays like 5 different instruments but primarily specialises in piano and guitar

safe food is anything sweet or chocolatey — he has a massive sweet tooth and is obsessed w cookies and pastries in particular which ayana baked for him a lot (ill prolly make a whole other post for her in the near future but guys. pastry chef aya. hear me out)

an absolute boss at board games, especially monopoly, and he constantly loves screwing everyone over

extremely hyperfixated on pokemon and owns a bajillion folders filled with cards worth a buttload of money, and a dozen plushies + figurines (projecting bc pokemon is one of my hyperfixes dont judge me) his fav gen is absolutely johto

his eyesight is pretty bad but like. not bad enough for him to be needing glasses (unlike a certain someone cough cough agoti)

speaking of said certain someone, he and agoti do each other's hair a lot simply because its really fun and provides some stimulation, and also because it helps tabi practice with self care and such

VERY SENSITIVE TO SOUND AND TEXTURES, often times he will probably start crying if something sounds or feels wrong

sometimes he forgets certain words in english and has to resort to using what theyre called in russian

has the goofiest sounding laugh ever and i will die on this hill. when you get tabi cackling he will start rolling on the floor and making the most UNGODLY sounds

can speak like 6 languages fluently and a dozen others in simple conversation (NERD ALERT)

he sucks so hard at writing essays but is (for some reason) really good at maths

despite being the more serious one among his group of friends, tabis a dumbass and does a lot more stupid things than one would expect

B A C K G R O U N D

death tw

sadie bennett is an ancestor of bonnie bennett and a descendant of ayana and qetsiyah. she was born and raised in the early 1800s in salem, massachusetts to a witch mother and father, who had six other children besides sadie. her early years were spent practicing magic and honing in on her craft, becoming a very powerful witch in her own right; as to be expected from a bennett witch.

she was married at an early age, only 15 years old, but she loved her husband dearly and they were happy with one another despite the circumstances of the time period they lived in. a few months after their wedding, sadie fell pregnant with their first and only child - a daughter that she named marie. marie was just as talented as she was when it came to the craft, and grew into her magic at an early age just like her mother.

life was as good as it could be for sadie and her family until her mother and daughter were accused and accosted for witchcraft. their small community was quick to execute them for their "crimes", resorting to the age old practice of burning them both at the stake. not only did they burn her mother and daughter at the stake, but they burned locked her remaining family members, including her husband, inside of their home before burning it down to the ground. sadie had been away visiting family in another town when everything had happened, and had a dream vision the night prior warning her of the tragedy to come. however, she couldn't travel back to salem fast enough to save her family.

sadie was, and rightfully so, pissed off and heartbroken at the murders of her family; especially her daughter. her rage was solely directed at the people of her town and the ancestors; the former because they were the ones who committed the atrocious act, and the latter because they didn't do anything to intervene or give her sooner notice of what was about to happen.

in her grieving state, she turned her back on the spirits and traditional magic, her heart turning cold and morbid. she started practicing darker and darker magic, using her newfound skills to kill the people responsible for the deaths of her family members and burning the entire small town to the ground.

it didn't take long for dark magic to began consuming her. with her insatiable need to grow stronger and more powerful, she began dabbling in black magic, using her powers for her own gain and vices instead of for the balance of nature. it didn't take long before her journey to more magic knowledge led her to the existence of expression, magic so dark that every witch she encountered warned her to steer clear of it. every witch apart from one - the one that gave her the tools in order to call upon expression and hone it for herself.

she didn't bat an eye at the implications of what she had to do to achieve her goal. she had already killed countless people before; what was a few more? so she went about preparing for the ritual, gathering all the sacrifices and tools needed for it before she executed it to a t - opening her up to new depths of darkness she never knew existed; and she loved every second of it.

in her quest for power, she also wanted to keep her youth and vitality for as long as possible. she'll be the first to admit it - she's vain. she knows that she's beautiful and she values her looks second to none, apart from her magic. she would do anything to preserve that. the longevity spell wasn't good enough for her though. she needed something more palpable and drastic. which was how she ended up tweaking the longevity spell to suit her needs and wants.

there's a give and take for everything. if she wanted to keep her youth and beauty, sacrifices had to be made. for every year that she extended her vitality, she had to drain the life force of another, sentient being - the younger the better. so every year for the past century and a half, give or take, she's been sacrificing people for the sole purpose of living for as long as she can. does she regret it? not in the slightest. everything comes at a price, and the lives of other people is a price she's all too willing to pay.

despite her age and the darkness that has encapsulated her, she's still human. she finds herself growing lonely some days, and craves the company of a coven of witches that share her beliefs and values. she wants to form the most powerful coven the world has ever seen - which is exactly why she's began tracking down her descendants of the bennett line. first one on her list? bonnie bennett.

M I S C E L L A N E O U S

what are your character’s goals? do they have any present allegiances? sadie's allegiance is to herself and herself alone, although she would align herself with anyone who shares her views and desires. her goal is to track down bonnie, other bennett witches, and other strong witches to build her dark magic coven.

what has your character been up to before/during the start of our group, at the beginning of tvd season 3? ( feel free to play with or mix up canon events as you like ! ) sadie has been living her best life, honing her craft and indulging in the vices that life has to offer. it wasn't until recently that she set into motion her plan of building a coven of her own.

what songs do you associate with your character? problem by natalia kills.

have you altered anything about your character’s canon? n/a.

do you have any other random headcanons worth mentioning? sadie has worked with different supernatural creatures over the years and has made friends and enemies along the way. she doesn't necessarily hate vampires, but she doesn't trust them in the slightest, unless they've done something to earn her trust. werewolves are in the same category as vampires in her eyes.

is there anything you’re potentially interested in exploring romantically for your character / what do you, or could you, ship? i'm honestly open to any kind of ship! f/f or m/f. throw anything at me for the my girl sadie. if you think your muse can handle her psychotic ass, of course.

what sort of current or future connections/plots are you looking for? witches for her to corrupt! supernatural creatures she's worked with in the past! scorned people who are praying on her downfall after she drained the life force from a loved one of theirs!
