#Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman

[incorrect-hizzies]

I want to point out that while it's practically canon that Lizzie is the no.1 Handon-anti Landon might as well be the no.1 Hizzie shipper

[deathofthelastromantics-blog]

" We bounced back and forth between extremes, loving and hating, staying and leaving. We knew how to be soft and gentle but we could also be sharpe and cruel. I regret the hastey things we said. I hate that we became all the things we swore we would never be. "

[legaciesgifworld]

Happy birthday, Lizzie Forbes!

[xeyesofstardust]

I agree 110%. It’s been a while since I’ve last watched legacies and it still bothers me that no one ever confronted Josie about her ableist comments.

Furthermore, it also bothers me that barely anybody in the fandom acknowledges this. Self harm is no joking matter and I feel it should be taken more seriously than it is.

Caroline: What if someone tried to take me away from you? How would you about it?

Lizzie: Mad

Josie: Sad

.............

Their answers just made me think of Legacies and how Lizzie is the more feisty and impulsive one, while Josie is the total opposite :)

[incorrect-hizzies]

Hope: *face inches away from Lizzie's while lying in bed* Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman, i love you with every inch of my being

Lizzie:

Lizzie: *starts uncontrollably gigling*

Hope: what's so funny???

Lizzie: well, that's not a lot of inches-

Ah, the flashbacks hit hard. You did a great job describing the Fandom at the time. It was rough.

I've watched Legacies and I have mixed opinions on it. If you're looking to watch it just for closure from TO, I would suggest skipping it. Honestly, the lack of recognition of TO characters/relationships was extremely frustrating at times.

There were guest appearances and occasional references, but I felt disappointed by it and so did most of the Fandom that came from watching TVD/TO first. They barely mention Hayley and bring Klaus up to haunt Hope, but it's repetitive and a little exploitative without ever really offering lasting closure imo. I think it did well at some points, but was overall disappointing. And the relationships Hope has with her family in s5 are basically ignored in Legacies to make her seem more isolated/like a lone wolf.

I think Legacies' greatest weakness was it's lack of true character development. And the most frustrating part was that there were episodes that showed amazing development and then the next few episodes acted like it never happened. Or the characters around them acted like it never happened. I think Hope is a major victim of this.

The biggest victim of this imo is Lizzie Saltzman, though. I won't get started there though. That rant may never end.

Anyway, Legacies has some really great moments and some nice callbacks and references. However, I don't think it offers much in terms of closure. And I wouldn't exactly see it as a proper spin off of TO. If you go into it expecting it to relate to TO and wrap things up/make the sting of that final season a little easier to bear, I think you'll be disappointed.

Hi. I don't remember any TO blogs and it's been so long. I started Tumblr because of TO but never finished season 5 until yesterday. I'm curious; what was the general consensus about season 5? What did people think? What did they think of the ending? Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask this.

Hi there!

This is definitely the place to ask. And also.. oh boyyyyyyyy. OH BOYYYYYYYY if you're not reviving years old discourse.

Dear friend, it was chaos. Chaos I tell you. The klarliners were crying foul in one corner because they thought KC would be endgame. The Haylijah shippers felt robbed of their ship's reuinion. The Klamille fans were drilling a hole in the wall with their pain because they never had a chance. Everyone was yelling at the klaroliners for joining the show so late and being butthurt about not getting their ship when they didn't support the show at all. The Hayley fans were ANGRY. Elijah's fandom was a mess. Klaus's fans were confused. Everyone wondered why we had a death of a major character was followed by a wedding three episodes later. And everyone wondered why, why oh why, were they setting up a spin-off when we had so much storyline to wrap up. And I was in the corner wondering whether I can feel the ending was good but also kinda fucked at the same time?

In a word, it was chaos. I think the vast majority of people did not like it. In retrospect, I still think it was a good ending, thematically, for Klaus. But Elijah's death? That only made sense with the season 5 arc, not the whole show's arc. And since season 5 largely sucked, It Is Not Valid.

Anyway, this brings back memories.

95 - (Flashback) - Running the School

Part 96

Gemini Runaway

@icefrye19 @secretdreamlandmentality

2 Years Later

Shutting the door behind me I shrugged on my red leather jacket searching for Caroline. We had successfully turned the old Salvatore boarding house into the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted. And it was probably the best life decision she had ever done in her immortal life. My boots hit the wooden floor where I knocked on her office door. “Hey Caroline, the new group of kids are here for the tour.”

“Awesome. I’m ready. Let’s go do this tour.” She smiled, pulling her clipboard against her chest heading out the door.

We walked down the halls seeing a whole new group of boys and girls waiting to possibly be interested in this school. Shoving my hands into my jacket pockets I smiled. “Welcome to the Salvatore School. We will be your tour guides, I’m Raelyn Mikaelson and this is Caroline Forbes - uh excuse me Salvatore.” I clerked my throat hearing my slip up.

Caroline opened the door where we started walking through the main entrance standing in front of the huge fireplace. There were some students hanging out there which made it look good. “We are big on school spirit. Education is our first priority obviously. We’ve sent students to the Ivy League, to Silicon Valley. Of course if you’re looking for a more unqualified course of study I assure you we are unmatched.”

“Like every school though we do have rules. Since you are supernatural I think you can understand that not every human in the world is very open to our reality. So with that in mind we just ask that the vampires don’t drink human blood from the vein and take the blood from the bags in the kitchen or to drink animal blood. Another rule is don’t get close with the locals of Mystic Falls. And finally please try and not show your powers if you decide to go off campus and into the main part of town.” Glancing around the room I shrugged my shoulders trying to keep the rules Caroline and Alaric had come up with even though not everyone may follow them all the time.

“We believe in inclusive blending of the species here. So outside of full moons…vampires, werewolves and witches all cohabitate peacefully.” Caroline paused in front of the burning fireplace until we heard a loud boom up on the roof.

Biting my tongue I tried to remain calm quickly slipping out of the room leaving the tour in her hands. “Excuse me, I need to go check on the leak in the roof. Caroline, can you take it from here?”

“Yeah go. I’ll be fine.” She nodded leading the group down away from where I was going.

Rushing through the school I went through the other main doors heading around the back of the school. I knew the spot where the kids would throw parties at like we didn’t know about them. Lifting my head up I put my hands on my hips seeing Alina and Lizzie up on the roof doing magic off in the direction of the woods. “Alina Josette Mikaelson. Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman, what the hell are you two doing out here!”

Lizzie put her hand down before I saw a fireball die in the air. “We were practicing spells, Auntie Rae Rae.” She had her blonde hair she got from Caroline up in a ponytail sitting beside her cousin.

“We were being safe and aiming them towards the woods. I don’t see what the big deal is.” Alina crossed her arms over her chest.

Scolding my second daughter I growled under my breath. “The big deal, Lina. Is that I told you to watch your younger brother. And here I find your outside blasting spells while your aunt Caroline and I are trying to do a tour.”

“Hope gets to do what she wants today.” She fought back where I ran up the wall doing a flip and landing exactly where they were with my vampire speed.

Crossing my arms over my chest I glared at my daughter. “Watch your tone or I’ll ground you from going to see Jackson this weekend. Now who exactly is watching your brother?”

“You gotta tell her, Lina.” Lizzie dropped her gaze to the ground annoyed that I was messing with their fun. Considering her and Lizzie related to each other while Hope and Missy were more like Josie.

Alina pushed hair away from her face, sighing heavily. “He’s with Missy…”

“You’ve got to be kidding me. Go to your room now. Lizzie, go find your sister now.” I rolled my eyes frustrated, vamping into my bedroom knowing exactly where they were. Missy, bless the little sweetheart she is, doesn't have the best track record of not talking with her father everyday especially in astral projection form.

Kicking open the door of my bedroom I gasped seeing that Missy and Henrik were sitting in a circle of candles and he immediately ran to me sobbing and clinging onto my shirt. “Mommy! I…I saw daddy…and he was feeding from…somebody.”

“Ssssh baby boy. It’s okay now mommy is here.” Pulling him into for a hug I wrapped my arms around him hearing him cry. So I just dropped to my knees letting him stain my shirt with tears. “Hey I think I saw the kitchen just making some chocolate chip cookies. I want you to go downstairs and eat some. I will find you afterwards and explain everything.”

He sniffed when I broke the hug, wiping away his tears and sending him out the door. “Okay…”

Waving my hand I slammed the door and locked it with magic stomping up to my youngest daughter. “Now listen here, Melissa. I have told you time and time again that we have a rule about astral projection with your brother.” Putting my hands on my hips I used her full name since she knew I wasn’t joking if I did.

“Don’t astral project with him unless you are in the room.” She looks at her light pink boots instead of at me.

Sending her a glare I asked her to give more details. “And why do I say that?”

“Because you want to keep Henrik from seeing dad as a monster since he was a baby when we had to separate. So he doesn’t have as many memories as we do.” She finished my thoughts, finally looking up at me. “I hate having to wait until five o’clock to talk with him. He’s our dad, why can’t we talk all the time?”

Lowering myself on a knee since she wasn’t as tall as me I put my hands on her shoulders. “Because I promised that I would help Caroline run the school. And your dad is busy looking after your uncle Elijah in France.”

“But I want to see him for longer than an hour everyday. So why can’t we physically visit him!” Missy snapped where I rolled my eyes at the sassy thirteen year old in front of me.

Raising myself to my feet I pushed her towards the door opening it with magic. “Go downstairs and find your sisters now. I’ll deal with you and Lina later tonight..oh and before you leave vessera a portus.”

“Seriously mom. You know I can siphon these off!” Missy rolled her eyes at me when magically chain’s appeared around her wrists.

Lowering my fist to my side I waved to her to leave me alone. “Not these chains, honey. I had your uncle Kol tell me how to spell them so that I’m the only one to take them off. Now do what I said. I need to talk to your father.” She scoffed leaving the room where I dropped on my knees in the circle they had made holding onto his necklace in one hand. ““Demitte moi, demitte moi.”

Before my eyes I saw a room in France where there were dead bodies in the room. Shifting my eyes upwards I watched my husband roll a dead body until it hit the wall and he saw me standing in front of him. “Raelyn, what the bloody hell are you doing here? It’s not our chatting hour yet.”

“Are you trying to break your own record of dead bodies in one city?” Crossing my arms over my chest sending him a glare. “We need to talk. Henrik saw you feed on someone.”

Klaus ran a hand down his face where I could see tears welling in his soft eyes. “Bloody hell…that shouldn’t have happened.”

“I know. That’s exactly what we wanted to avoid. But let me just say…I hate raising teenagers basically by myself!” I rolled my eyes, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.

Nik smiled, bending his head down but shifted his gaze upward to meet mine. “Even when you’re overwhelmed you are still as beautiful as I last saw you.”

“God can you not drive me mad with compliments every time we talk please.” I blushed wishing that I could physically touch him. I couldn’t really go visit him because the girls and Henrik were a handful. “Anyway that isn’t what I’m here to talk about. We have to find a way to fix this before Henrik is scared for life. Any ideas on that front?”

He sat down on a couch pushing one of the dead bodies off so I could sit down. Walking over to him I sat down beside him. “Well we can’t tell her she can’t talk to me for a week or she’ll just do this again. So no magic.”

“I already put the magic blocking cuffs on her. So she won’t have magic for a few hours. But we should include no tv or desert.” I was already one step ahead of him.

He reached over, putting his hand over mine but his fingers touched the couch while our eyes remained on each other. “I miss you so much, Rae…I love you.”

“I love you too. I have to go find our kids.” Shutting my eyes I disappeared away from him and back into our bedroom where I gripped my hair in my fingers, sobbing heavily I put my head between my knees. “I should have killed the Hollow myself and dumped its magic in the bottom of the Atlantic!”

Comments really appreciated ❤️

Happy Birthday to our beloved Saltzman twins, Josette unknown-middle-name “Josie” and Elizabeth Jenna “Lizzie,” two-thirds of the heart of Legacies, born on this day in 2014.

They had the misfortune to be born on the Ides of March, and, yet, it is somehow quite apt. (Especially given the 11th, 16th, and 17th birthday parties 😳)

[rvnthcworld]

✧.* { JENNY BOYD & SHE/HER & CISFEMALE & 18/50 } is that ( ELIZABETH ‘LIZZIE’ SALTZMAN )? I’ve seen them hanging around town here and there, I’ve heard they can be pretty INSECURE. How typical for a HERETIC. I guess they must rely on their FIERCE side shining through. She is the DAUGHTER of JO, ALARIC & CAROLINE.

B A S I C S

Name: Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Jenna Saltzman

Age: 18/50

Species: Born siphon - turned heretic

Affiliation: Gemini Coven

Sexuality: Bisexual

A B O U T

You can find her early life/canon life here.

Turning into a heretic has been the best thing for Lizzie. Though the circumstance of her change wasn't the best, she really feels like everything fell into place.

Though she still has her moments, she's not as insecure and fragile as she used to be. She's had a lot of personal growth.

She's very protective of her friends and her family - will go to the ends of the Earth for them.

While she's had a lot of personal growth, letting go of control is still hard for her.

She's very organized and likes to have things planned out ahead of time, she gets a little anxious when something isn't planned, or things go off the planned path.

When things started to settle down after the earthquake and the university was built, Lizzie decided to further her education. She was unsure of what it was she wanted to do with her future, but with the options limited since the barrier was up - Lizzie got her business degree with the intentions of an event planning company in mind.

She graduated college with a masters degree and a business degree.

While Lizzie will always have a love for Mystic Falls, her plan was to not be here forever. She wanted to get out and see the world.

She's a pretty big advocate for taking the barrier down. She doesn't like "hiding" from the fight instead of facing it. She's very much in the mindset of "we defeated a God, we can defeat whatever else." Could be a good thing, could be a bad thing.

Though they're not related, Lizzie and Hope have continued to become extremely close that they don't even call each other best friends anymore, they call each other sisters.

Lizzie is bisexual, and came out about it very casually in conversation.

Over the years, Lizzie has had several exes and hookups but has not started a family of her own.

Recently, she was casually seeing Romeo until he up and disappeared. She has had many thoughts on that and only really ever opened up to Hope about them over some wine and a girls night.

While she loves her family, she also loves her space. After college, Lizzie acquired a cute little apartment at the Mystic Grill Apartments.

She has put her business degree to action and has her own event planning company - Mystical Events only name I can think of right now lol . Her company is very often used for towns events.

▍ POSSIBLY TRIGGERING MATERIAL BELOW, proceed with caution! : these notes highlight some of the most prominent differences between my portrayal and that of canon. please note: while certain characters are name - dropped, i do not expect writers of those characters to adhere to anything found below. this is purely for my own development! — a part of the more extensive tvdu lore found on this blog + intertwined with my own characters.

༶ lizzie and josie saltzman were raised by caroline forbes and alaric saltzman. the two often clashed on how to raise the twins, but caroline swore they needed would do better than her parents had, raising the girls with truth and transparency — as a result, once the girls were deemed old enough, they were taught the story of josette laughlin and the parker family. as it is a part of their heritage, they were also introduced to the merge. thus began the ticking clock : the countdown to death.

༶ lizzie began first showing signs of mental instability around the age of 5; this worsened over time, eventually hitting its peak when she was 9 years old. however, lizzie would not receive a proper diagnosis until she was 11 years old, shortly after her first suicide attempt. disharmony in the saltzman - forbes family begins to grow; caroline forbes takes off in search of antiquate help for her supernatural daughter and a way to "stop" the merge. the twins are left in the care of their father at the salvatore school.

༶ between the two, lizzie has always been closer to her mother than her father. this only grows as she ages and begins to feel neglected and outcasted. her mind, ever her own worst enemy, begins to form the belief that she represents what he hates the most. a physical embodiment of the parker family, while josie herself is more closely aligned with that of alaric himself - more human and harmonious, more stable. this is further vindicated as alaric begins to take more and more time up with hope mikaelson [note: lizzie is unaware of most of the events surrounding hope's life and own history] ; she views her father's neglect and addiction as a result of her own existence, blaming herself. this is similar to how she views caroline's absence, believing she is also the reason her mother left. she resigns herself to being : too much, too loud, requiring too much work and time. she begins overcompensating for her mental disorder, growing colder and more distant. she starts unfairly relying on josie more and more — a crippling co - dependency forms.

༶ in time, the relationship between alaric and lizzie begins to deteriorate. however, it is not until s02 - shortly after the truth about alaric's involvement with banishing students to the prison world as punishment + memory wiping, and his own excusal for josie's actions during her dark [magic] phase that things take a turn for the worst. believing her father would never show her the same loyalty he offers josie : the better sister, the healthy one, THE ONE WORTH SAVING. lizzie begins to fear what her father would do to her should she ever lose the battle against her mental health and impulses. while not necessarily true, lizzie has never voiced these concerns to her father (or anyone for that matter) to be proven otherwise, and instead simmered in her own paranoia. thus, she feared for the future, believing herself unable to trust and rely on her father. in an attempt to leave before she could be left — she grew estranged from him, cutting off contact that was not absolutely necessary due to their close proximity at the school + supernatural threats.

༶ estrangement continues with the two primarily interacting through other people, namely mg, kaleb, and hope. by the time season 04 comes around, lizzie has refused all attempts by alaric to patch things up. they are not speaking. this is still the case when alaric is attacked by hope mikaelson shortly after her transition when her humanity is off, sending him into a coma. it is during this coma that something inside lizzie breaks, overcome with immense guilt, a fact that is only worsened when alaric eventually succumbs to his injuries : dying. unable to live with herself for the way they left things, lizzie sets out on the road to revenge, determined to make hope mikaelson pay. [*this is heavily intertwined with that of daisy's portrayal of hope mikaelson]

༶ this revenge quest leads lizzie to cross paths with the ancient vampire, aurora de martel. aurora is a benefactor to a small subsection of triad industries and one of the last remaining elements of the former organization. she is also heavily connected to the original family and on something of a revenge quest herself against the deceased klaus mikaelson + his family. together, the two team up with the desire to take down the tribrid. during this time together, the two form a complicated but deep bond, with lizzie and aurora seeing much of themselves in one another.

༶ during this time, lizzie faces off against hope. this ends in the latter snapping lizzie's neck, effectively killing her. unbeknownst to hope at the time, lizzie had ingested vampire blood from the school's emergency stash prior and transitioned. unbeknownst to both of them, this blood belonged to none other than hope herself, resulting in lizzie being sired to the tribrid. this is not a bond that goes on to be broken by lizzie; the action itself is not that easy, nor something lizzie even has an interest in doing down the line. instead, the sire bond remains intact. however, it is essential to note that this bond has nothing to do with romantic love but rather gratitude. lizzie, even in her grief, is overwhelmingly gracious to hope from saving her and josie from the merge. *vampirism has always been an option in the back of lizzie's mind, a failsafe, if you will. [*this is heavily intertwined with that of daisy's portrayal of hope mikaelson]

༶ the bond between aurora and lizzie is bond eventually shattered when lizzie finds herself overcome with the sudden life shift, grief, and even more complicated feelings for hope, lizzie decides to change paths. giving up her quest for revenge, she returns to the school and rejoins her friends, where she pledges her loyalty to them in going up against triad — of which they eventually succeed in doing, but only with hope by their side once more.

༶ in the years following, lizzie attempts to grow more accustomed to her new status as a heretic, along with bettering her mental health. she ultimately patches things up with hope, josie, and comes to terms with how things ended between her and alaric. caroline returns to take over the school as full - time headmistress. lizzie graduates from the salvatore school before going to uva where she majors in psychology.

༶ a majority of lizzie's future involves traveling and attempts to find herself beyond the existence of another + the shadow's of hope and josie looming over her. she grows a lot as a person, and eventually settles down in new orleans to be closer to hope mikaelson, rafael waithe, and landon kirby. she gains a particular interest in helping supernatural children, primarily in terms of mental health and eventually takes on a role as a consoler at the newly formed mikaelson school, an extension of the salvatore school.

↳ are they open to shipping?: yes! ↳ most wanted canon explorations: caroline forbes, josie saltzman, kai parker, hope mikaelson, alaric saltzman, elena gilbert, bonnie bennett, damon salvatore, jeremy gilbert. ↳ a few plot concepts to explore: fellow students from the salvatore school, classmates/roommates from her time at uva, friends, lovers, or enemies gained during her travels, fellow heretics.
