BOOK ORPHAN VS BOOK ORPHAN, GO!

All propaganda and what each competitor is from under the cut (tw for suicide mentions in Harrowhark's propaganda)

Harrowhark Nonagesimus (The Locked Tomb)

She is literally so powerful okay. Like she's a huge bitch and I love her. She knows how strong her necromancy powers are. To be able to control not one but TWO adult corpses for YEARS from the time she was like? 9 years old!? There is so much more to her but I don't wanna get too spoilerly but uhg I love this little gay necromancer

IS SHE REALLY IN LOVE WITH A CORPSE??

Harrowhark is a necromancer and nun on Pluto where they pray about a tomb remaining closed and not releasing the body inside that could kill their god, but Harrow opens said tomb when she was 10 so her parents commit suicide and help her tie her own noose. They die in front of her and she doesn't follow through, so seven years later she's still alive to torment the only other child around (also an orphan) while running the planet through the puppeted corpses of her parents, who the rest of the population are led to believe are alive (but no, it's a 10-17 year old doing incredibly advanced necromancy, this is fine)

Unlike most orphans, Harrow has been keeping her status secret. After her parents committed suicide, she told everyone they had taken a permanent vow of silence and started puppeting their bodies around with her necromantic powers. She has been doing a Weekend at Bernies for the past eight years.

The Baudelaire Orphans (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

The epitome of orphans, they’re the best

“I’m having a very terrible childhood right now”-Klaus

The story deadass begins with them being told that their parents died in a fire and that they're orphans now. They then bounce from guardian to guardian who tend to always meet a gruesome fate at the hands of Count Olaf. Not only have they been orphaned once, but have been orphaned multiple times and are called "The Baudelaire Orphans" by not only characters in the book but by the narrator himself. They're called "The Baudelaire Orphans" so many times that it might as well be a defining character trait of theirs, and honestly it sort've is. The series doesn't even end with them finding a home or guardians of any kind, it ends with the Baudelaires fate being completely ambiguous with them literally sailing away from the island they were stranded on in the final book (yeah this series is quite the journey, I highly suggest it). These poor three kids are probably the most orphaned kids of all time since their orphaned in a new way almost every book and they deserve at least one win in their unfortunate tale.

These guys are like the poster-child of orphaning, we open the series with them finding out that they're orphans and also have no access to their money so now they hop around from place to place from weirdo caretaker to another weird/crazy/murderous caretaker and it's all fun and games and murder and decieving and surviving and thriving and---my point is, these three are a wonderful trio of siblings who love and rely on one another through all their trials and tribulations.

Literally every single one of their problems come from being orphans. They’re continually referred to as orphans and the plot of the first half of the series is them being shuffled around to guardians.

These kids are so orphaned they never even get a found family outside themselves. At least most stories featuring orphaned kids see them fulfill some sorta epic destiny or have them find a new home or set of loved ones of sorts. The Baudelaires? They're thrown from one fucking failure of a home into the next, ignored, hunted, etc.. It's been years but like, even in the end, they still have to set sail alone. As individual characters, they aren't bad either. Violet's the dependable big sister who's knack for inventions comes in handy, Klaus is a well-read chap and Sunny is a lovely gremlin. They make a good trio.

Every single guardian they try to obtain throughout the series turns out to be someone who wants the large inheritance left for them and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it.

They basically fend for themselves the whole series when no adult will listern to them. The whole series is them being resourceful and clever the whole series despite the misfortune. Violet is a brilliant inventor, Klaus reads and collects knowledge, and Sunny learns to be a good cook over the series

their parents die tragically in a fire and then everything awful proceeds to happen to them

I haven't read these books in years but if any orphans deserve to win a smackdown it's these fools, they are constantly in the trenches in those books goddamn. Also that baby is like a shredder they have that on their side, I think that beast literally solo'd a snake?

(This one was specifically for Klaus, but I'll put it here still) He and his sisters being orphans is kinda the point. As in many books, it's the trigger for them to change lives and navigating hardships. The thing is, their hardships just grow worse and "unfortunate" (read "dreadful") events keep happening to them as they stick together instead of the story getting better. Klaus and Violet become Sunny's subtitute parents and get through their more and more miserable lives together keeping hope things would eventually get better

Arguably more famously orphaned than Bruce Wayne, if not for how their story happens while they’re orphaned children versus an orphaned adult. Definitely have the most famously tragic post-orphaning story. All three are incredibly brilliant in their own way, including the literal baby. Pursued relentlessly by the leader of a maniacal theater troupe and letdown by a slew of adults, so it’s all the more impressive how amazing they each turned out to be. Book series was so good it got turned into a pretty great movie and then a successful TV show years later. Also can’t forget how these three are orphaned repeatedly as the distant relatives who take them in get killed off in increasingly inventive manners. Let’s be honest, ain’t no characters out here orphaning like the Baudelaire orphans.

this series taught me so many cool words and phrases and I love each of the 3 main characters so much

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are peddled from caretaker to caretaker over the course of 13 books, always being chased by the evil Count Olaf who wants to steal the Baudelaire fortune that the children are meant to inherit once they reach a certain age.

Spoilers ahead, the Baudelaires siblings story starts with them going from being the Baudelaire kids to the Baudelaire orphans, after their parents pass away in a mysterious fire. But they arent the only paternal figures that they lost, they go from tutor to tutor, almost all the good ones dying in front of them, and even the ones that survive at first their future is uncertain since the last time the kids see them they are blindfolded in a burnind building, and we never found out who make it out alive and who didnt. Even the main villian, Count Olaf their first tutor, and the only constant adult in their life after their parents death ends up dying in front of them. These three are orphans ten times over.

They are THE orphans. They have lost not only their parents but multiple guardians that they went to live with as well.

They're THE Orphans. The childhood book orphans we all read, Orphans Prime if you will. They lose their parents, every caregiver who's ever kind to them, then say fuck it and live on a deserted island on their own to raise themselves abd fully embrace their orphan status. On the island, they learn their parents survived the shipwreck then died again - double orphaning even.

OH MY SWEET LITTLE CHILDREN THAT FUELED MY LOVE FOR READING AND THE MACABRE Violet- Won her first of many invention competitions when she was five with an automatic rolling pin (comprised of a window shade and six pairs of roller skates). Extremely innovative and genius, foiled by her kindness to others. And she knows how to make a Molotov cocktail. Klaus- Absolute monster of a bibliophile, conducts research for fun, and has a photographic memory. He is known to want nothing more than "a good book, a comfy chair, and the warm glow of a reading lamp". He also is a Herman Melville fan, which is points for him in my book. Sunny- Most people know her only for her penchant for biting, but Sunny is a distinctly distinguished character. She has sharp wit (as long as you can read it through her babbles), her poker skills are phenomenal for a baby, and she has quite the knack for cooking! Also yeah, the teeth. She climbed an elevator shaft with them once.

They are constantly going through it, give these kids a break for real

Imagine: learning about the supernatural life from Klaus and him asking you too go too New Orleans with him

Author note: this is a request from @nick-1432 who gave me rang too write a Klaus imagine! Only had 3 things she wanted 1) be a Klaus x reader 2) be out by today ( for her birthday if possible) and 3) make it long lol 😂. I just moved back home so (yesterday) so I’ve been busy. But somehow I got this done! I had too for nicks-1432 birthday! So.. since I’ve been moving, and unpacking / packing this isn’t proof read. And I hope it’s good. And long enough! (And also that you wanted a girl reader. As I’m writing this note. I fucking realized you could be a male 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️. I should of asked. If you are male I will write a even longer Imagine too replace this one !!! In advance I’m sorry!)

Did I proof read?: No sorry 😐

Rating : pg 13, mentions of death but it’s TVD ppl die lol

Fandom: the vampire diaries/ the originals

Word count : 16,746 ( nine pages lol 😂 hope it’s long enough!)

Being Elena’s twin was difficult, like when you were int e car with your parents and Her, when it crashed. Elena got out without a scratch, you got out. So badly damaged the doctors put you into a medical induced coma for a few months too help your body heal. When you woke up everything was different. Your world turned upside down. You struggled with your new reality with No parents, your sister being distant and cold and not telling you anything. Your brother soon joined in on keeping secrets from you and trying too distract you from the truth. It soon traveled thru your group of friends, from Caroline , Tyler, Matt, and Bonnie. They all kept secrets from you. Everyone in your life started treated you differently after the accident. Poor damage orphan. Who was on the brick of death. It drove you crazy , epically having too sit back and watch your sister make some..interesting choices. In her life. From Dating Stefan who was Nice and Kind respectful even. Too Damon who seemed like a complete Asshole. Who is Stefan’s older brother.

Luckily the only other person who was in the dark with you was Aunt Jenna. It gave you some comfort knowing you weren’t the only one. Who was clearly in the dark about your family. Jeremy was rarely ever around and Elena was always coming in Late or not at all. You figured she was going too Stefans place. Aunt Jenna was cool about it. Then the unthinkable happened your Aunt passed away. A wild animal attack. It broke you too pieces.

Having your parent gone, then your guardian your siblings were speechless and sad. When your uncle John arrived he lasted a few days but Elena, and Jeremy kicked him out. Having your History teacher and Aunt Jenna’s boyfriend Aleric being your guardian. That was your Tipping point.

You weren’t a huge fan of Uncle John he was. Okay. But at least he was family. And he was stepping up too care for you three. Elena and Jeremy decided for you that he wasn’t good enough that some guy who Jenna dated for a few months was better then blood? You were furious. Done with the secrets, and them dictating what is best for you. You had a teammate. Between their lies, and secrets and them treating you like a kid! Especially Jeremy treating you like a kid. Being older then him it should be you who was over protective of your baby brother! You were in contract with Uncle John Finished with them. Even the new comers the Mikaelson couldn’t change your mind even those. They were close.

Everyone was curious about them. The Dashing. Well dressed Elijah who looked like a Prince in another life strong chin, big brown eyes. Very formal and polite, Rebecca who was the only girl. Blonde hair that was long and shinny, pail reflection like her brothers. A sight attitude but is the only person in the entire town of Mystic falls who will tell you the truth too your face. And Klaus.

Trouble maker Klaus, who pushed everyone’s buttons in your life, Elena, Jeremy, Even your friends warned you too stay away from them. Even Aleric and Stefan and Damon who you weren’t close with all begged you too Not go near them. Of course them being the ONLY people in the entire town besides your aunt too treat you like A adult. You didn’t listen.

One day. Rebecca invited you over for a sleep over. You gladly accepted, you thought it was a sleepover. But they all sat you down and they told you everything. About vampires, werewolves, witches, hybrids about your family line being full of vampire hunters, too how Aunt Jenna who recently died. Actuallyq died) about the reasonings, about all the secrets they all kept from you.

Having a huge crush on Klaus didn’t stop the fact he killed your Aunt. You went too leave until they informed you about a ancient Threat that made the ‘original vampires scared” you told them too screw themselves and went home.

Getting home you got Thur the front door seeing No one, Like always they were all gone. Typical.

Hearing your phone bing you looked down seeing it was your uncle Jon getting back too your text. Who you now know is your biological father. And that Alerics dead wife is your biological mother. And that your parents adopted you from them..

Uncle Jon:I’m sorry Y/N I would love too have you but I can’t- I think your siblings need you more. I’m sorry I’ll call on the weekend and we can talk about this okay?I’m sorry kiddo

Reading the text you ended up tossing your phone too the sofa as you turned seeing Rebecca at the doorframe.

“Mind if I come in?”

Turning too her you held your arms, “So that myth about having too be invited is fake?”

“No. Unfortunately.”

You rolled your shoulders, “Fine- come in. If you came too suck my blood. It’s probably too biter to be good right now.” She chuckled weakly. “Please I prefer my meals too be male.” She walked in as she spoke, “how are you?”

You shook your head weakly looking around, “Since Jenna. I’m always alone.. I lost basically All my friends because they all kept me in the dark about this stupid town! And the only person I had was Jenna.. and your brother killed her!”

“I’ve seen Klaus kill thousands of people in his lifetime.. Jenna was the Only one that he felt bad about- He knew that she was all you had-what.. what can I do too help.”

You cried stepping over hugging her. She was stunned but hugged back as you cried. She was always strong but Rebecca was soft As you spoke, “uncle Jon wont take me.. I’m stuck in this Hell hole.- Why tell me.. about all the this?”

Becca hold tighter as she spoke, “we don’t want too see you get killed because you were clueless. We all care for you. It’s one of the factors that have bonded us lately.- When Klaus calmed down and realized what he did.. he destroyed the house. It was the first time we ever seen him remorseful.. he’s truly sorry for harming you. It was the last thing he ever wanted.”

Pushing back. You breathed deeply. Looking at your best friend. You rubbed your face collecting your thoughts as you spoke, “It was Elena, and Stefans, and Jeremy – it was their fault too.”

She was surprised hearing that response, “if they told Us about you, all or about Why your so dangerous- about all the he dangers in this town. Maybe! Jenna wouldn’t be dead! I’m Furious at Klaus but I’m More angry at the betrayal of my own blood!”

“come sleep over we can talk this out, and you wont get a truthful answer from your family.”

Nodding your. Head you agreed too that as you went upstairs too pack.

Collecting your phone before you left. You Got too Rebecca mansion too see Klaus having a glass of whiskey you walked over grabbing it from him drinking it all as you spoke, ‘you killed my aunt!” You hit him as he took it.

Hitting him over and over again you cried. As you fell too the ground Klaus never hit back. He stood there taking your punishment until he crashed down. Next too you hugging you. Gripping up too his shirt pulling him closer as you cried into his shoulder.

“I’m so sorry.”

Klaus let you cry your heart felt like it was about too explode, your stomach was so tense you felt like you were about too break. As you bawled. Everyone you loved. Cared for has lied too you.. and it took Jenna’s killer and he’s siblings too tell you the truth.

After crying your phone dinged too see you had a text from Aleric, Elena and Jeremy wondering where you are. You whipped your cheeks as you looked down at them.

“will you kill them?”

That got everyone too tense up, “my family- are you planning too kill anymore of them?”

“No- I need Elena alive,And I swear not too harm Jeremy.” Looking up at Klaus you thanked him and Rebecca took you too her room so you can talk it out.

Weeks passed you weren’t as close with Klaus as you were before. The whole “killing your aunt” really drove a wage between your relationship with him. Which hurt you wanted Klaus around.

You thought you were hanging the trauma and heartbreak of everything. Then Elena turned into a vampire. Of course NO ONE TOLD YOU! You never told your family you knew. Or your friends about all their secrets. It was Klaus who appeared into your room one day. Telling you what happened too Elena. Rebecca ran them over the bridge that your parents died on. Stefan saved Matt and Elena died with Damons blood in her. Turning her into a vampire. You were furious at Rebecca. And Soon Elena started bootcamp too survive being a vampire. Her being turned. Changed your thoughts on Klaus. Then Jeremy Died. you realized. Elena was death.. And she loved being a vampire, but when Jeremy died. She flicked a switch and her humanity’s was gone. Klaus begged you too move in with him for your safety. And you accepted. Elena terrified you. Especially her doppelgänger Katherine who was always around. So you agreed. With the new threat around. Being with murderous honest vampires.. Not so bad compared too your sister.

Before Elena turned her switch she was thriving and back too her bubbly old self before your parents death. She was truly happy. So you forgive Rebecca. It’s been weeks living with them. You just returned from a day of shopping. Rebecca’s suggestion wanting too find the perfect dress for prom. You were exhausted! Stretching out on your bed. Surrounded by bags as Klaus walked by your open door seeing the damage you and Rebecca did on the family money (that Rebecca thankfully offered too pay since your part time job at the grill would pay for one item you got together)

“did you and Rebecca leave anything in the store?” You grinned weakly hearing Klaus’s voice you shook your head. “Barely. Only the mustered color stuff.” He chuckled as you opened your eyes shifting too sit up as he spoke, ‘did you find a dress for the Prom?” You nodded your head weakly. “Yea. Rebecca picked it out.- I’m still unsure.”

Klaus leaned against the doorframe as he spoke, “let me see.”

Getting too your closest pulling out a pink dress, it was a corset top, with a ball gown skirt, every inch was sparkles it reflected softly on the lights in your room as klaus turned around and you realized he wanted you too try it on. You did. Stripping quickly and hopping into it you spoke up, ‘it’s so.. reveling those. I mean it’s slightly low, and my back..”

Klaus turned looking at you as he spoke, “you are a vision. You breathtaking Y/N” smiling weakly you thanked him as he stepped over as he spoke, “you could wear a potato sack and be potato sack and be beautiful.” Feeling your face going red he breathed deeply as he spoke, ‘what unworthy boy is taking you too prom?’

“None- I’m going alone..” that surprised Klaus as he spoke, “really?” You nodded your head, “yea- Matt asked me but that would be too weird.. and with Elena being- bat shit crazy.. and Caroline and Stefan- whatever they are doing and Bonnie.. it’s easier. Less complicated..”

“I’ll take you.”

Smiling hearing that you nodded your head “sure.” He smiled as he went too go as he turned looking at you, “I was going too ask- what are your plans for after graduation? You apply for any schools?”

Shaking your head slightly you spoke, “No- it’s.. I.need a break and too explore.. I’m taking a year off.” With that he walked off.

Prom was perfect. Shortly after Rebecca, Klaus and Elijah were needed in New Orleans and they left you too watch the place. It was only there did you realize they weren’t coming back. It broke your heart. Then graduation came And you were waiting in line too get your diploma, uncle John wasn’t here. Even those you invited him. Elena smashed that idea of having him here. Elena got up and everyone cheered and clapped for her you got up after her getting your diploma when you noticed Klaus in the crowd. He was near the front clapping loudly. With a big smile on his face. You smiled brightly seeing him. Getting off the stage you waited with the rest of your class.

Finishing the ceremony. You leaped off the stage hugging Klaus tightly. “Thank you.” He smiled hugging you back as he spoke, “I couldn’t miss this- Rebecca apologize and Elijah they wanted too come but things in New Orleans are sticky..”

You pushed back holding his face as you smiled brightly. You dreaded today. Having no family with you too celebrate, with Being stuck with Death herself. And your friends who kept you in the dark. You smiled so wide it made Klaus smile back. Looking at you. Seeing this. One kind act make you smile so wide and bright. It made the tough cruel Klaus melt. You were the only person without a motive. He’s meet thousands of people who had motives too kill him or use him. And then their was you. Who just wanted him for himself. It was a different feeling that Klaus wasn’t use too.

You reached up kissing him which surprised Klaus as you pulled back “thank you.”

A huge goofy smile appeared on his face as you dashed over too Elena and hugged her. And your friends. Seeing Klaus changed your mood incredibly. When it was all said and done after Jeremy was brought back too life. (By magic. Which you weren’t sure what happened. He just came back too life) you were sitting on the bleachers with Klaus looking at the football field that held up to be the graduation. Looking out at the field Klaus spoke up, “congratulations Y/N.”

Facing Klaus you smiled brightly reaching over grabbing his arm. “Thanks- and thank you for coming I was dreading this all month-having you here.. felt like I wasn’t alone.”

He smiled weakly as he spoke, “Still going on a grand adventure for a year?”

Nodding your head looking around, “with all the lies and descent and Death around here.the farer away the better.”

“glad too hear that.” Glancing over at Klaus he looked at you shifting too look at you better as he spoke “come with me.”

‘excuse me?”

He chuckled softly rubbing his neck, “Come with me too New Orleans, we all miss you. Especially Me.. Come with me. Let me show you the world. Music , the arts, History music. Let me share it with you.”

You grabbed his hand tightly as you spoke, “Only- if you promise it can be forever.” He squeezed back as he spoke, “you want too turn?”

“Maybe- If I want too.. can you. Be the one?” He nodded his head. You reached over hugging him tightly, “Don’t get your hopes up. On that. But take me with you Klaus. Don’t leave me behind again”

“okay.”

A year passed with learning that Klaus one night booty call got pregnant with. His baby. You and Elijah (who was madly in love with Hailey) you both were on pins and needles wondering how that would play out. You got a Job at a Bar- Mystic Falls was a training area for the big league for Vampires and werewolves and witches. A turf war was going on. The Mikaelson convinced each group that you weren’t involved. That you weren’t some Ploy you were human. So they mostly left you alone.

Klaus has been acting weird lately. You seen the good , the bad, and Now your seeing the awkward. You enter a room and he excuses himself, he spends. Little times around you. Rebecca said you were imagine it. But Elijah noticed and often talked too Klaus about it.

Hope was fussing so you were soothing her as she went back too sleep.

“You’re a natural.”

Turning too Klaus seeing him leaning against the door . You smiled as he walked over helping you put her down .

“do you want this…”

That surprised you. Turning too Klaus you shook your head. “I love Hope- but IM not.. Anywhere Close too being ready for a baby.. I don’t know if I want it. Why?”

“you asked too be changed.” “Maybe.” Correcting him he nodded his head. “If your changed.. you can’t have this..”

“ you impregnate a werewolf… Never say never.”

Klaus frowned hearing that as he spoke, “you know that was a fluke.”

Nodding your head weakly you turned too Klaus rolling your shoulders, “IM not thinking about having babies. Hell- I haven’t had a serious relationship… I’m far too young.-“ he nodded his head looking at Hope.

“is that why you been involving me lately? Your scared I want a baby. And too stay human?”

“I’m Not good..”

“I’ve seen you with Hope- your Goodness is there. Klaus- You shown it with me. From the beginning. You’re the kindest. Person I know. You tell me the truth even if it’s not Kind. But you know how much I appreciate the truth. That’s showing me kindness. Hope is so lucky too have you. I’m so happy too have you.”

“I want more.”

That surprised you as he rubbed his face, “I love you. Always have. Always will.. I want too be selfish and bite you and keep you..”

Nodding your head. You reached over grabbing his hand. “I love you too…I .. I’m not ready too give up my human status.. you okay with that?”

He nodded his head stepping over kissing you. You smiled kissing him back.

You knew eventually too keep. Klaus , Rebecca, Elijah you would have too change. But for Right now. You were happy.

tuactober #4 - prophet

(for the tuactober challenge; tagging @totallyevan as before)

-

It’s probably Luther’s fault for not listening to pop music more often.

It’s not as if he was particularly encouraged in this pursuit by a reclusive, potentially agoraphobic father for whom ‘self-expression’ was another word for ‘lunacy’. Also, he has to admit, pop isn’t exactly something that meshes with his personality. He enjoys eighties classic rock and the occasional soundtrack from Disney films, but that’s it.

So it starts about six months ago, washing glasses at the Carousel Club and listening to this girl spout off about some religious leader supposedly doing great things over in San Francisco. A real oddball from the sound of it; but Jack likes happy drinkers to stay happy, so what can he do?

“…found me after the break-up and just spoke to me!”

“He sounds like quite the fella.”

“You wouldn’t believe it,” the girl says earnestly. “It was as if he spoke into my soul! I’ll never forget it – he took my hand, looked deep into my eyes and asked if I believed in life after love. That he felt something inside him saying that he really didn’t think I was strong enough – and he was right! I couldn’t get through the pain on my own; I joined Destiny’s Children the next day!”

“It must be a great group,” Luther says absent-mindedly, dialling for a cab.

-

“I’m sorry, boss,” the man says, kneeling on the floor of the cellar in one of Jack’s less salubrious clubs. Luther can’t help but feel sorry for him. He’s a low-level thug for Jack, and until now one of his finest enforcers, but it seems the guy’s caught religion – and in a bad way. “I don’t have nothing against you, but this new wisdom’s just opened my eyes – really made me see my way clear. I know I gotta yield to the flow of the universe and embrace its love come what may, y’know?”

Jack huffs. “Sounds like a load of guff to me. You’re being taken in for a patsy by someone who’s never done a day’s work in his life.”

“No, really! This man opened my eyes to the truth: that we’re all in the same boat, just trying to make our way in this crazy world. He says we’re all strangers waiting up and down the boulevard, shadows searching in the night - streetlight people, living just to find emotion, hiding somewhere in the night! Ain’t that poetic?”

“Not particularly,” Jack says, stepping back to let his goons deliver the message in a much more emphatic manner. “But then I never was what you’d call poetical.”

-

“…And in other news…” the radio crackles into life, spluttering and wheezing like an old man, “our reporter brings us an exclusive insight into the shadowy world of the latest religious commune to sweep America, led by a reclusive mystic whose edicts to his followers includes appeals to ‘spice up your life’ and ‘search for the hero inside yourself’…”

“New Age hooey,” Luther grumbles, turning off the radio.

-

“No, see,” Luther says, bending over a map and attempting to tell this busload of tourists how to get out to the outskirts of Dallas. Apparently they’re trying to find some big fancy mansion up beyond the suburbs. “You take a left here, keep going along this main track until you get to the outlying farms, and then…”

The man who asked for directions beams at him. It’s slightly unsettling. “Thank you for this,” he says, “truly. You’ve no idea the importance of our trip – how vital it is we find our teacher again.”

“You sure this guy wants you to find him?” Luther asks. “You said he took off in a hurry.”

“The prophet would never abandon us,” a young bespectacled woman says sincerely. “It’s one of his edits. The first day I joined the group, he gave us one of his sayings – that he’s never going to give us up…never going to let us down, and never run around and hurt us…”

“Sounds nice,” Luther says, wrinkling up his nose.

He’s sure he’s heard those words before. Was that in a breakfast commercial?

-

“Go see,” Allison urged him. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever imagined.” So the morning after Five brought them all together Luther hitches a lift with a truck driver, heading out beyond the centre of Dallas until the suburbs thin down and the fields start to spread, and Luther is left gaping in perplexed amazement at the sheer size of the estate before him. Not house, estate. With gardens and a pool and…is that an orchard? Jesus, how did Klaus afford this?

 Thanking the driver, he makes his wary approach up the drive and towards the house. All around him people with blue robes and blissed-out expressions are milling around, stopping so often to wave at him rather airily and…Oh God. It’s Map Man.

“Brother!” the bald man exclaims, grasping hold of Luther somewhat enthusiastically. “I felt certain our paths would cross again. Have you come to experience the prophet’s wisdom?”

Luther has had plenty of experience with the prophet’s wisdom, starting with ‘hey, you know what happens if you mix vodka with angel dust?’ and working up from there. “Uh, no; not exactly. I just came to see him…outside his professional capacity, so to speak.”

“Suit yourself. But truly, you should listen to him. He’s a great, great man; he truly helped me understand – well, what it’s all about, you feel me?”

“Yeah?”

“Oh yes! The great shifting balance of the universe, each one of us intertwined and yet not so! As Klaus says: some of us fall by the wayside,” he says sincerely, “and some of us soar to the stars.”

Luther freezes.

“He told us, from the day we arrive on the planet,” the man says, to Luther’s dawning horror, “blinking, stepping into the sun. There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen; more to do than can ever be done…”

“Let me guess,” Luther says. “He called it the circle of life.”

“That’s right!” The guy chirps. “Have you met him before?”

-

“You are a terrible, terrible person,” Luther tells Klaus. “And a plagiarist of epic proportions.”

“I’ve been telling him that for three years,” Ben drawls. Klaus kicks him.

So actually two: Dia Laisir and The Liar

I don’t even know where to start with Dia Laisir, honestly.  Folklore?  Mythology?  A 3 a.m. rant fueled by too much coffee, way too many Little Debbies, and a seven day run of not enough sleep?  Getting close, I think.

Dia Laisir is a totally made up little minor god that I invented to explain King McClary’s apparently fireproof boots.  Loki battled him in the Scottish Highlands way back in the day before people were the dominant species there, and upon the minor god’s defeat and subsequent banishment, Loki cast him into an inanimate object and bound him there so he couldn’t fuck around with the few heathen humans that had migrated into the land.  The whole casting thing might have been totally on accident, by the way - Loki’s never been terribly accurate with his magic and popular opinion has it that he was actually trying to obliterate the demon.

Shit goes wrong and alcohol’s a hell of a problem, ya know?

Dia Laisir didn’t like that much, as you can probably guess.  First off, Loki wasn’t even supposed to be in Scotland.  Norse god, messing around in the Highlands?  What the hell’s that about?  Second, that wasn’t all the god of mischief and general fuckery did to old Dia.  Before he shoved him into the trunk of a tree to live the rest of his natural-born as a knotty pine, Loki banished Dia’s lover, Souflou, into a nondescript chunk of silver that some axe-wielding lunatic had tucked into his sporran, thus separating the two forever.

Yeah, there was a whole lot of fuck you Loki spinning around in Dia Laisir’s head for the next few decades until some axe-wielding lunatic chopped down the tree he was bound to (probably the same one hauling haunted semi precious metals around in his crotch bag, but history doesn’t verify much) and accidentally set him free.

Stuff started burning.  Forests, villages, pretty much anything with a flammability rating went up in smoke, because Dia was pissed.  Souflou had been shuffled around from place to place in that silver chunk, molded into various bits and bobs as the heathens learned how to turn silver into useful things, and every time Dia got close to finding her the silver that housed her spirit changed hands or was made into something else.  And so Dia Laisir’s rage burned, and so did big chunks of the Highlands.

Eventually Loki caught a whiff of the smoke from wherever he was, I dunno probably getting dicked down by some eleven-legged something or other, and with a dramatic sigh he poofed himself over to Scotland again to find out what the hell was going on.  Dia was supposed to be in a frigging tree trunk, wasn’t he?  Naw, he was running all over the hills and moors and lochs doing his damndest to obliterate the human scourge that kept moving his love around so that he couldn’t find her, and after an epic battle royale in which Loki siphoned off about half of Dia’s firestarting powers (hey, those might come in handy later) he finally managed to send crankybutt’s spirit into a sword strapped to the saddle of a passing local.  May or may not have been a McClary, btw.  Just sayin.

But that sword had a nasty habit of transferring the soul inside it to whoever it killed, which you can imagine was a messy bit of business because the guy who owned it was a bloodthirsty son of a bitch.  Like I said, possibly a McClary, and you know how they are.

So Loki yanked Dia Laisir out of the sword after a few years of hearing stories about the cursed blade and all the lopsided battles its owner kept winning, and while sitting in a dark smoke-filled pub one night half drunk out of his head and obsessing over what the hell to put this thing into where it couldn’t interfere with the natural progression of Scotland’s ruling power, he tried to send it into a shield that was hammered onto the wall over the fireplace - but too much mead and Loki being Loki, he passed out in the middle of the banishment spell and when his head hit the table the soul’s trajectory went south to the floor instead of northeast to the fireplace.

Into the left boot of a big black haired brute of a warrior that was currently wolfing down a leg of lamb while simultaneously groping a leg of barmaid.

Loki woke the following morning laying face down across the table he’d passed out on, and the brute with the cursed boots was gone.  Eh, good riddance, the boots would eventually wear out and be discarded and Dia would go with them into the fire, where his spirit would disperse into the cosmos.  Not Loki’s problem anymore.

Except Dia Laisir was a wily fucker, and figured out a way to slip out of the boots through a hole in the sole.

So Loki dragged his gettin-tired-of-this-shit hiney back to Scotland again, and since putting a fearsome god inside something like a pair of shoes that some lowly human would wear on their feet - stepping in cow shit and stomping on bugs - made Loki giggle like a schoolgirl, he did it again, only this time with a sturdier pair of footwear that wouldn’t be so easy to get out of.

It worked.  Dia was stuck, harmless, incapacitated, forced to watch the decades and then the centuries pass from two inches above the ground.  And each time Loki started to smell the smoke that signaled the end of the lifespan of Dia’s current home and the likelihood of his escape, he would return to Scotland and move the angry spirit into another pair of shoes.

Until finally the modern era erupted around humankind, and with it came good quality, durable, high-lifespan materials and the means by which to turn them into goods that could take a beating without disintegrating quickly.  A man named Klaus Martens was born and started using those materials to make shoes that were damn near indestructible.  And Loki’s problems with the fire god were finally over.

The thick-soled sturdy boots that he sent Dia into would last damn near forever.  But just to be safe, when those boots started to show heavy wear and had changed hands multiple times, he returned to Scotland one more time and acquired them through somewhat nefarious means (we won’t go into that part right now) and, using the illusion of a homeless man, he roamed the streets of Glasgow with them on his own feet in search of someone trustworthy to entrust them to.  Because he was sick of running back and forth to Scotland every couple of decades to keep doing this shit - he was getting old, he had other things to do with his time thanks so much.  He needed someone he could trust to keep the fire god’s spirit safe and secluded and far, far away from his lover...because Souflou had eventually ended up in a child’s silver rattle which was sitting right that moment in the display window of a gift shop in Edinburgh, and Dia Laisir could sense her nearness.  If the two of them ever ended up in close proximity again it would be the end of the world as we know it.  Humankind would burn.

The Trickster had no particular love for humanity, but it provided him with entertainment and he wasn’t big on the idea of taking the blame for yet another genocide.

So Loki, in the guise of a street beggar, waited for someone worthy to acknowledge him.  Tens, hundreds, and then thousands of people passed him by, disinterested in him, ignoring his presence -

- until the day a young boy sat down next to him wearing a brand new pair of boots.

“Nice boots” Loki said.

The boy just nodded.  He didn’t like his new boots.  They were stiff and hurt his ankles.  His grandda had insisted they would break in soon and be comfortable, but the boy felt his nerves going up in flames with every step as the hard leather rubbed his skin.  His eyes, green like Loki’s, kept going to the ratty worn out boots on the beggar’s feet.

And then without a word the boy unlaced his brand new Doc Martens and took them off, then knelt down at the beggar’s feet and unlaced the worn out boots and replaced them with his own, tying the ties slowly before putting the old, dusty, broken down pair on his own feet.

And Loki smiled.

He’d found a human that he knew could handle the cranky fire god.  This boy was quiet but strong, silent but smart, and somehow he knew the child understood the importance of those boots.

He must be one of mine, the trickster god thought proudly.  He’d never visited Scotland without availing himself of the charms of the locals, and as a result the land was fairly crawling with many generations of his offspring.  The boy’s soft green eyes and black hair certainly reminded him of himself.  Hmm.  There was something else too...the line of the kings had come to a lurching halt a couple of generations back as the modern age stripped the people of any desire to hold onto the old ways, but Loki sensed it in the lanky teenager.  He was a king.

“They don’t look like much, but they’ll get you where you’re going,” he told the boy, pointing toward the boots on his feet.  “Fireproof, you know.  And you will be too, when you’re wearing them.”

The boy nodded.  An old woman ducked her head out of the bakery they were sitting against and smiled when her eyes fell to them.

“Get in here boy, I’ve got your sweeties on the table.”

The boy stood, testing the fit of the boots.  They felt good.  Comfortable.  Like they belonged to him.  The barest hint of a smile tugged his lips and he looked at the beggar, holding out one hand to help him up off the sidewalk.

The heavily frosted and ridiculously decorated pastries the boy shared with him as they sat together at a little table in the back of the bakery were the best damn thing Loki thought he’d ever tasted in his long, tiresome, faintly ridiculous life.  And Dia Laisir smoldered, sending a heat into the boy that tempered him like a flame hardens steel.  He would need that strength, Loki knew.  But it would be okay.

The boy was worthy.

A TVD ask for you! Top three romantic ships? Your three least favorite canon romantic ships? Three favorite female characters? Three favorite male characters? How would you rank the seasons from favorite to least favorite? And finally - name three unpopular opinions about the show :)

Thank you!  This washarder than I anticipated!

Top 3 Romantic Ships

Damon and Elena – the best redemptive love story I’veever encountered.  when they’re epic,they’re earth-shatteringly epic, but when they’re soft, they’re so soft.  

Alaric and Jenna – they made each other so happy!! and shewas so patient with him in his healing but also never took any shit!!

Matt and Caroline – she sings to him at the bar, okay?? itdoesn’t get any cuter than that.

3 Least Favorite Ships:

Jeremy and Anna – particularly while Anna was a ghost.

Jeremy and Vickie – try as I might, I cannot like Vickie.

Jeremy and Bonnie – they’re not as bad as the other shipsin this category, but they’re also not very interesting.

(Somewhere in between favorite and least favorite you willfind Klaroline and Steroline, both of which I really like in principle andwhich really do have their moments, but which were tragically really, extremelypoorly executed, and Bonnie and Enzo, who were very cute together but have themisfortune to exist only within the Worst seasons) 

Top 3 female characters:

Elena – Elena is so beautifully feminine.  it’s impossible toreduce her to just an action girl or a “strong female character”, because allher strength comes from love.  she seesthe good in people, she brings it out, and she’s courageously unselfish,always.

Caroline – Caroline’s journey from anxious insecurity to perfectlypoised confidence is absolutely one of the best arcs on the show.  she is such a generous friend, she lights upevery scene she’s in, and she’s so incredibly lovable.

Jenna – it’s possible she’s a favorite of mine because Itotally relate to her frazzled grad student persona, but whatever!! she’sawesome!

Top 3 male characters:

Damon – romantic love embodied – fallen, but still humanand capable of being redeemed.

Alaric – I love that his story begins with him searchingfor revenge, but ends with him as a protector.

Jackson (from The Originals) – I know this is cheating,but all the guys on TVD tend to have really downward arcs (Tyler and Matt, I’mlooking at you), and so it’s difficult for me to love them overall.  Jackson, on the other hand, was a trulydecent guy, and he loved Hayley and Hope so much!! 

Seasons, from favorite to least favorite:

3 – not the best season, but my favorite.  the season-long arc was good, and I live forthe almost-ness of Damon and Elena this season!

2 – objectively the best season. Elena and Katherine as foils! Katherine and Klaus as big bads!  thecentral season for Damon’s redemption!  

1 – a really solid opening season!  the tomb vampires aren’t especially gripping,but all the foundational character work that happens here is glorious, and Ilove early-days Delena episodes like Friday Night Bites, Bloodlines, and MissMystic Falls.

6 – I loooove the overarching marriage theme, I love Damonand Bonnie being friends, and the anti-magic spell is clever.  the rest of the season can go rot.

4 – this is where the quality of the season-long arcsstarted to go downhill, and the Originals started to feel extraneous.  I don’t enjoy either the sire-bond arc or theno-humanity!Elena arc.  there is goodstuff this season, but it’s wrapped up in a lot of really bad stuff.

5 – the Augustine institute is the crappiest big badever.  Damon’s character choices don’tmake any sense.  Enzo, even though I dolike him, doesn’t serve an obvious purpose.  Katherine narrowly misses out onredemption.  the finale’s good, though.

7 – the skipping back and forth between present and futurewas a sloppy device to hide the fact that the plot was boring.  I like Bonnie and Enzo, though.  and even though mystical pregnancy is alwaysa bad trope, Caroline is a good mom.

8 – this season is creepy. I haven’t finished it completely, but I doubt they’re able to resolve itadequately since the solution to “the sins I’ve committed are bigger than meand I cannot redeem myself” is actually the Cross of Jesus Christ Incarnate, trueGod and true Man – God so He can forgive my sins, and Man so He can representme.  (I’m not kidding, this is literallythe biggest reason I take issue with this season.)

Unpopular Opinions:

There is more sex in this show than actually makes sensefor the characters.

Kai isn’t a good villain or an interesting character.

The plot definitely pushes Bonnie around, but the vastmajority of the characters (Elena included!) treat her just fine.  Caroline takes way more personal abuse.

Backdoor Pilot “The Originals”

Because The Originals recently debuted their series finale, I thought I would share my rather lengthy recaps of the first six episodes of the series that I did a year ago. I was so pumped about the show I made my own Wordpress website and everything. Now I have these lonely recaps with nowhere to put them but here! Enjoy if you want.

In regular backdoor pilot fashion, this The Vampire Diaries episode begins with very forced exposition explaining why we as viewers are leaving/escaping the wonderfully supernatural Mystic Falls and entering, what appears to be, an even more sadistic and cutthroat, New Orleans.

“Welcome to the dark side of New Orleans,” says the random tour guide with rad facial hair, “a supernatural playground where the living are easily lost and the dead stick around to play.” Spooky.

But what exactly are we doing here? Klaus Mikaelson recieved a tip from everyone’s favorite doppelgänger, Katherine, that a witch with the name of Jane Anne Deveroaux is conspiring against him. Conspiring? Very vague. Could it be a trap set by Katherine and this Jane Anne Deveroaux? Let’s keep watching to find out!

While Klaus is making his rounds of murderous threats, Rebekah and Elijah are arguing back in Mystic Falls. As per usual, Elijah wants to help Klaus, like the loyal brother that he is, and Rebekah wants Klaus to go to hell.

“Where are you going?” Says the particularly pouty Rebekah Mikaelson.

“To find out who’s making a move against are brother, and then… I’ll either stop them, or I’ll help them. Depending on my mood.” Oh, Elijah! You crack me up when you’re indecisive about when its appropiate to murder.

However, through the collective perspectives of Hayley Marshall, a sassy werewolf girl in search of her family, and Sophie and Jane Anne Deveroaux, we find out Hayley is pregnant.

Holy cow! Remember a few episodes back when Klaus and Hayley have a super steamy one-night stand while amongst bonding over their perpetual loneliness and sorrow? I do!

But how could this be? Well, being that Klaus is both vampire and werewolf, the original hybrid, he can in fact procreate. If you weren’t on the edge of your seat already, you are now.

But back to Klaus. During his interrogation of a French Quarter witch, Klaus finds out that a vampire in charge, Marcel, won’t let the witches practice magic. Klaus finds Marcel singing his little vampire heart out at a bar. My first impression of Marcel? Hot. Second? Exudes confidence.

Klaus and Marcel approach with caution, and you don’t know if they’re going to kill each other. But they don’t! It turns out, Klaus and Marcel are old friends, in fact, Klaus sired Marcel. We also learn that the Mikaelson’s helped build New Orleans but were run out of town for some reason. So the plot thickens!

What exactly is the deal with Marcel? “Well we can tell you!” Says The Originals writers from beyond our TV’s. Marcel has quite a little vampire community. He has night-walkers, vampires who thrive under Marcel’s rule, and the inner circle, which are those who get to bask in the sunlight with the help of mystical daylight rings. It’s as if Marcel has complete control over the supernatural in New Orleans, and Klaus is jealous. However, Klaus focuses on the task at hand and asks Marcel what he knows about Jane Anne Deveraoux. What coincidence! Marcel is scheduled to hold a weird criminal trial in the middle of the street accusing Jane Anne of practicing magic.

But unlike an actual court of law, Jane Anne is publicly executed.

“Was that convincing? I studied law back in the fifties.” Oh Marcel, you can do anything you set your mind to.

Rats! Klaus didn’t get to talk to her before Marcel cut her throat open. But there is still hope! Klaus tracks down the sister, Sophie, where she works at a bar called Rousseau’s. Unfortunately, Sophie is to scared to speak due to the night-walkers that are following Klaus. Damn it Marcel! You foil everything! Fed up, Klaus threatens the night-walkers and lavishly orders them some scotch and hands the bartender a $100 bill (which will be important later).

Meanwhile, Elijah vamps through an alleyway and demands that Sophie Deveraoux tell him what the hell is going on. Of course, he articulates this request in a more respectful and Elijah-like fashion. He also kills a couple night-walkers while doing it, but that’s neither here or there.

Marcel is throwing a rave in his house/mansion and Klaus crashes, giving off murderous glances while searching the wild party for Marcel. Marcel calms Klaus down and shows Klaus to a balcony overlooking the city. We quickly learn that Marcel is smart and calculating, could he be another Klaus?

“Mmmm, new blood.” Marcel, don’t do it.

“Bartender. Walking alone at night. She’s either brave or dumb.” Klaus don’t encourage him.

“Brave, I let her live, dumb, she’s dessert.” Marcel, don’t eat the nice bartender.

Marcel quickly vamps off to go flirt or drink the bartender from Rousseau’s, while Elijah vamps in to inform Klaus of what he has found out.

Elijah takes Klaus to a creepy cemetery where Sophie Deveraoux reveals she has been holding Hayley captive for leverage over Klaus.

But why would should I care? Wonders Klaus, looking back and forth between Hayley and Elijah.

Because she’s pregnant the and carrying your baby Klaus.

Well, shit.

DENIAL, DENIAL, DENIAL, DENIAL!

Sophie Deveraoux reveals her evil plan. Jane Anne sacrificed herself in order to confirm the pregnancy, because the witches need help taking Marcel down. They need big bad Klaus Mikaelson. What better way to achieve that then by linking Klaus’s baby mama to Sophie, so that if any harm comes to her, the same harm happens to Hayley and the baby.

DENIAL, DENIAL, DENIAL, DENIAL!

Elijah is rather disappointed in his brother’s behavior, and expresses this child to be their best chance. At happiness. At a home. At family. However, Klaus doesn’t feel the same.

Klaus crashes, once again, Marcel’s rave and picks a fight with him. Seriously guys, just put in on the table and measure already.

“Now look at you! Master of your domain, prince of the city.” Klaus, could you have made a more obvious set up towards Marcel’s big monologue?

“Hey man, I get it. 300 years ago you helped build a backwater penal colony into something. You started it, but then you left. Actually, you ran from it. I saw it through. Look around. Vampires rule this city now. We don’t have to live in the shadows like rats. The locals know their place, they look the other way. I got rid of the werewolves. I even found a way to shut down the witches. The blood never stops flowing, and the party never ends! You want to pass on through? You want to stay awhile? Great. What’s mine is yours, but it is mine. My home, my family, my rules.” By the way, throughout this episode, every time Marcel says “rules” take a shot.

“And if someone breaks those rules?”

“They die. Mercy is for the weak, you taught me that, too. And I’m not prince of the quarter, friend. I’M THE KING!”

Well that does it. Klaus inflicts his fatal werewolf bite on one of Marcel’s inner circle, Thierry, and makes his grand exit.

Next commences the wonderful New Orleans nightlife montage. As Klaus is enjoying the festivities, he spots the brave bartender, she’s looking at a painter while he’s painting, and he approaches her. Her name tag says Camille, but she rejects that name because of the notion that its made for a grandma. We can call her Cami.

“And what do you suppose his story is?” Ask’s Klaus.

“He’s… angry. Dark. Doesn’t feel safe, and doesn’t know what to do about it. He wishes he can control his demons, instead of having his demons control him. He’s lost. Alone.” Hmmm… does this painters emotional state remind you of anyone else?

Cami apologizes for being an overzealous psych major, but Klaus reassures her, and whooshes away.

Klaus and Elijah meet up and Klaus admits that he wants what Marcel has. But Klaus? What are you going to do about the baby sized elephant in the room? To which he concludes, “every king needs a heir.” Not the most heartwarming, but we’ll take it, and so will Elijah.

Klaus now has a plan being put into action. Klaus gives Marcel his blood, which will heal Thierry, in order to get close to Marcel again. And it works. Now that Klaus is feeling all powerful again, he gives the lovely Caroline Forbes a call. But of course she never calls back. Ouch.

Rebekah doesn’t want to go to New Orleans, despite Elijah’s protests. She’s still upset apparently. Also it looks like the end of Elijah and Katherine. So sad.

And that was the amazingly epic backdoor pilot of The Originals!

[princess-of-the-worlds]

Hi. So, a Klaroline prompt: Caroline was never turned in a vampire. Everything elese happened just like in canon. But Caroline was lied by all her friends and kept in the dark about the supernatural world. Until, Klaus begins to be intrigued by her. (I imagine it happening somewhere around graduation) So what can happen between the Big Bad Hybrid and the girl who was never enough?

Tête-à-tête

ao3 link: here

word count: 1751

warnings: Vague reference to Damon’s sexual assault on Caroline, mention of Damon/Elena. Fair warning, this is supposed to be a TVD 4x22!AU. 

summary: Caroline returns to Mystic Falls after her high school graduation and has an intriguing conversation with someone in the Mystic Grill. 

Caroline surveys the Mystic Grill as she enters it,heels click-clacking against the wooden floor; it hasn’t changed even theslightest in the year-and-half since she was last here. There’s the same, oldlog-cabin aesthetic and dim lighting that somehow made it the town’s mostpopular high school hangout. Her opinion of the place and the town itself haddiminished in the face of her life out in Georgia.

Still, some things were a comforting sight, especiallythat of Matt Donovan still stuck behind the bar.

He’s still cleaning a glass with the rag usuallytucked into his apron when Caroline drops down on one of the barstools directlyin front of him, the hem of her sundress brushing against her bare calves.

“I think that glass’s clean enough,” Caroline says,her tone light and teasing.

“What?” Matt says, nearly fumbling and dropping theglass from his shock. “Care? Holy shit! It’s really you!”

She smiles brightly at him, reaching over the bar towrap him in a tight hug. Caroline relaxes into Matt’s warmth, breathing in themusky scent of his sweat and cologne mixed in with the reek of alcohol.

Registering the edge of the bar that is beginning todig into her stomach, she released Matt and sits back onto her stool. “Hey,”she says. “How are you?”

“I’m fine,” Matt replies, still smiling. “Yesterdaywas graduation, but I still gotta work today. Does anyone know you’re back intown yet?”

“Nah.” Caroline traces the edge of the bar’s peelingwood with her manicured fingers. “I just got in this morning. Mom picked me upfrom the airport. I thought that I’d pop in and surprise Bon and Elena. Arethey coming here?”

“We’re supposed to have lunch here. They’ll be heresoon. Can I get you anything until then, Care?”

“Just water,” Caroline tells him, watching as Mattturns his back to her and grabs a clean glass.

At that moment, the stool next to Caroline’s screechesagainst the floor as someone takes a seat beside her.

“One bourbon,” the stranger orders in a refinedEnglish accent that Caroline would not expect in small-town Virginia.

Matt sets the glass of water in front of Carolinebefore turning to greet Caroline’s neighbor with steely eyes and a sneer. “Onit,” he grits out, Caroline watching the exchange curiously.

She’s never seen Matt stare at someone with such pureloathing.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you around here,” thestranger says causally to Caroline. “I would have remembered a face so stunning.”

Caroline snorts. “Does that line actually work?”

The stranger stares at her, eyes slightly widened andstunned for a moment, before his lips slowly pursue into a smirk. “Let’s justsay that it was worth another shot to try it on you,” he tells her charmingly.“But I really don’t think I’ve seen you around town before.”

“You’re right,” she replies. “I live out in Atlantawith my dad and step-father. I’m just visiting some old friends after theirgraduation. I’m Caroline. Caroline Forbes.”

There’s a moment of dawning realization in thestranger’s stormy eyes. “Sherriff Forbes’ daughter?”

She nods. “You know my mom?”

The stranger chuckles warmly. “My elder brother Elijahhas dealt with her many times for his business since we moved here last year.”

“You’ve a brother?” Caroline asks.

Is this Elijah anything as attractive as the stranger?He looks only a few years older than her, twenty-two or twenty-three, but is thehottest guy she’s seen in a while.

Especially with those dimples and rumpled curls andhis lithe, muscular build filling out that Henley quite nicely.

“How rude of me,” the stranger says suddenly, andCaroline’s gaze darts back up to meet his eyes. His smirk widens like he knowswhere Caroline’s mind was wandering, her eyes having lingered on his strong, denim-cladthighs. “My name is Nik Mikaelson.”

Matt chooses that moment to drop Nik’s glass ofbourbon onto the bar counter with excessive force, the alcohol sloshing side-to-sidebut somehow not spilling. He gives Caroline an endearing grin. “I’ll be in theback. Lemme know, if you need anything.” Matt ignores Nik as he disappears intothe Grill’s backroom.

“So,” Nik begins causally. “How do you know Donovan?”

“Matt? I’ve known him since preschool; we’re closefriend. We dated for a few months before I moved to Georgia.” Caroline winces, knowingthat she’s noticeably blushing. “I kinda dumped him over text.”

It wasn’t her proudest moment.

Nik laughs, a low, husky sound that causes heat topool in the pit of her stomach. “He seems to have taken it well.”

She’s probably bright-red right now. “Yeah,” sheadmits awkwardly. “Matt’s always been a sweet guy.”

Nik arches an eyebrow. “I suppose. We aren’t exactlyon friendly terms.”

Caroline snorts. “I can see that. What happened?”

“Let’s just say that Matthew is my sister Rebekah’snewest paramour, and we don’t quite see eye-to-eye on that,” Nik tells her.

“So, you have a sister too, and all three of you movedhere sometime while I was in Atlanta. What else did I miss?” Caroline sighs. “Asmuch as I loved living with my dad and his husband, I still wish I hadn’tmoved.”

“Why did you leave then?” Nik asks, settling closer,his eyes boring into hers as the distance between them diminishes

“I got into a bad car accident after Founder’s Day twoyears ago. Had a brain injury and barely recovered. I spent two weeks in a comaand missed a big chunk of school while I was in physical therapy. My momconvinced me to spend the rest of the year with Dad, and I agreed. It was a bithard beginning senior year without my best friends, but I guess it was what Ineeded.” Caroline shrugs. Her hand shifts along the bar top, brushing againstNik’s forearm.

“I can’t imagine, Caroline,” Nik commentssympathetically, the sentiment made even intimate by the way his accent caressesher name. “My brothers, Bekah, and I moved around many times when we wereyounger, but we were always mostly together.”

“Brothers?” Caroline repeats in disbelief. “You havemore siblings?”

“Several,” he confirms. “It’s … complicated. Elijah isthe currently the oldest, and I am the middle child. And Bekah just graduatedyesterday with Donovan.”

Sensing his uneasiness, Caroline changes the topic. “So,Elijah is a businessman, and Rebekah just graduated like me. What do you do?”

Nik smiles mischievously. “I’m an artist.” He holds uphis right hand, the one not close to Caroline, as evidence, and she eyes the charcoal-stainedfingers and faint streaks of paint.

“Oh,” she replies. “What do you paint?”

“Scenes of nature, day-to-day life, artifacts, cities,beautiful women,” he lists, his head shifting closer as Caroline unconsciously leansforward. “Anything that catches my eye.” His left hand comes to rest onCaroline’s, and he slowly strokes her wrist with his thumb as they gravitatetowards each other.

“Care!” Elena cries as she enters the Grill and spotsCaroline, breaking the spell of magnetic attraction between her and Nik.

Elena comes rushing to Caroline, Bonnie close on herheels. She grabs the blonde and wraps her in a tight hug, Bonnie smooshingCaroline from behind until she can’t help but feel a little suffocated.

“Elena, I missed you,” Caroline gasps out. “And, Bon,I missed you too. But you need to let me go. I need to breath. I’m only human.”

At the mention of human,Elena, who had been gripping Caroline with unnatural strength, abruptly letsher go and steps back. Caroline remains gripping Bonnie’s arm gratefully.

“How have you been?” Bonnie asks, beaming.

“I’m good, Bon,” Caroline says, feeling as if a greatweight has been lifted from her chest now that she’s been reunited with herbest friends. “We’ve got so much to talk about. We gotta catch up.”

“We were just heading up to the Salvatore BoardingHouse. Matt will be joining us too,” Bonnie tells her. “Wanna come?”

“Why not?” Caroline says. “It’d be nice to meet Stefanagain. How’re you guys doing anyway, Elena?”

Elena’s face falls a little bit, and she begins tolook sheepish. “Stefan and I broke up.”

Caroline almost gasps loudly. “What! But you two wereepic! You were meant to last.”

Elena just shrugs casually. “We fell out of love. I’mdating Damon now.”

Now, Caroline does gasp. “Damon? Damon “I’ll fuckevery woman in Mystic Falls” Salvatore? Damon?”

Flushing, Elena snaps defensively, “He’s not like that!You dated him.”

“For like a week, Elena,” Caroline states, “before Irealized how fucking creepy he is.”

She doesn’t mention how she still wakes up,hyperventilating, in the middle of the night sometimes, her sheets soaked withsweat, expecting to find a dark figure in her bed.

Bonnie, the mediator, knows to intervene again. “Comeon, Care. You just got home. We’ve got all summer to talk about this.”

Caroline smiles gratefully. “Hold on. Lemme talk tosomeone before we leave.” She turns around to face Nik, who, by now, hasdrained his glass of the bourbon. “It was nice meeting you, Nik. See you aroundtown.”

“I’ll keep an eye out,” he replies, flashing her a handsomesmile that places his dimples on display and causes Caroline’s knees to trembleslightly.

“Klaus,” Elena hisses venomously as she comes toCaroline’s side, finally noticing Nik. Behind Elena, Bonnie’s eyes harden asher face takes on an expression of abhorrence.

“Who’s Klaus?” Caroline asks cluelessly.

“I am, sweetheart,” Nik states dignifiedly, something dark flashing through his eyes before hewinks charismatically at Caroline. “My name is Niklaus Mikaelson. Nik to peopleI care for, Klaus to people I don’t.”

“Okay…” Caroline trails off awkwardly as she observesher friends as they glare at Nik.

Or, is it Klaus?

“C’mon, Care,” Bonnie says coldly. “We’re gettinglate.”

Before Caroline can protest, Bonnie is bundling herout of the Grill, leaving the blonde unable to hear Elena’s exchange with Nik.

“Leave Caroline alone, Klaus,” the doppelgangerdemands shrilly, lips pulled back into an ugly frown. “She doesn’t knowanything. She’s just a useless human.”

Klaus laughs cruelly. “Caroline Forbes is clearly somuch more than that, and even you know it, love. I have no mind to leave her tobe.”

He doesn’t allow Elena another word before he slipsoff his stool, drops a clump of bills onto the counter, and makes his way outof the Mystic Grill.

I really loved your fic Beauty and the Beat and am sad to see it go but understand. If you ever want to write Rockstar Klaus again I would so be up for it!

Wow, thanks nonnie : ) Such a lovely message. I couldn’t see myself finishing it so thought it would be best to delete rather than get anyone’s hopes up. I have had a few messages like this and given it’s a warm but rainy day in Oz I thought I’d write a drabble for you (unrelated to that story). 

Iris

Soundtrack: Goo Goo Dolls singing this live in the pouring rain HERE. Truly epic viewing.

Coachella, Indio California

“And I’d give up forever to touch you, cause I know that you feel me somehow.”

The rain is unrelenting now, falling in steady sheets on the open stage late into the spring, Californian evening. He’s saturated, his clothes sticking to him like a second skin and can barely see the audience while bathing in the bright stage lights but Klaus doesn’t care. He’ll sing forever as long and as far as his raspy voice will carry. 

It’s ridiculous really, Klaus hoping she’ll show but given the loud and heaving crowd he can’t place her anyway. Given their history it’s wishful thinking. He should give up but something simmering deep down is telling him to persevere.

Caroline Forbes is his muse, the love of his life and his future if she’ll let him be that again. He can still picture the way she rolls those blue eyes in his direction sarcastically, her golden waves fanning over her shoulders as those soft pink lips twitch temptingly while waiting for his touch.  But she’s not here. He stills, his vocals still strong but the feeing behind them well and truly losing momentum with every word. It wasn’t always like this between them.

“You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be and I don’t want to go home right now.”

It was five years earlier, Klaus was a struggling musician playing the pub circuit in his native England. Kol, his bassist and annoying sibling, always liked to bemoan the fact they would never make it big. Klaus refused to be negative mainly because he wouldn’t give Kol the satisfaction given he was always too whiny and impatient for his own good.

Their set had finished and Klaus made a beeline for the bar, desperate for a beer to clear his parched throat. He gestured to the barman and took a seat.  Before he could order, someone sat at the neighbouring bar stool and interrupted rudely.

“Whiskey, neat.” Maybe her voice was soothingly melodic and her enticing, floral perfume was infiltrating his nostrils but Klaus didn’t like people who pushed in, no matter who they were.  

“I was here first,” he uttered, his gaze still trained ahead.

“What is this? Grade School?” She was American. He should have known. It was at that moment he turned, curious to see who was being so annoying.

What Klaus hadn’t expected was to be so effected by a complete stranger. She was beautiful; all blonde waves, blue eyes and tempting lips housed in a fitted pair of dark, denim jeans and tight shirt that only brought out her expressive orbs more.      

The Barman was now looking between them curiously trying to work out who to serve first. “No, it’s decorum, plain and simple..”

“I see chivalry is well and truly dead,” she muttered.

“Are you seriously going to play that card?” Klaus huffed. She may have been gorgeous but she was also too stubborn and argumentative for her own good.

“Fine,” she conceded, surprising him slightly. “How about I tell you that the record company I work for wants to sign your band.” She slid her business card across the bar obviously pre-empting his predictable response asking for proof.  

Her high level position at EMI records wasn’t the first thing he noticed strangely enough. It was her name in neat, black font. Caroline Forbes. Klaus thought it suited her bold nature. “I figure if anyone is getting served first tonight, it’s me.” 

“Just straight to the point, eh?”

“I suppose I could have delivered this message with an abundance of fanfare and rainbows but was pretty sure it wouldn’t be your thing, Mikaelson.”

“I’m partial to a rainbow or two,” he teased, gesturing to the barman. “John, the lady would like a whiskey.” 

Five years later they cemented their personal partnership in a stunning wedding in Malibu attended by the who’s who of the entertainment industry.  The bossy, forthright Manager he’d met all those years ago turned out to be the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

“And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming, or the moment of truth in your lies.”

It’s warm outside but goosebumps are forming as the rain pours onto her exposed skin. Caroline is confused, has been for months now. When people divorce, the myriad of reasons are supposed to fit into one neat, little box to check.

Irreconcilable Differences.

Those two words still causing a huge lump in her throat. Like a marriage breakdown is that easy to explain in so few and unemotional words.

“Caroline, hello?” Bonnie interrupted, waving her hand past Caroline’s face a month earlier. She’d been losing concentration on a regular basis. 

“Sorry, Bon,” she apologised. 

“For which time?” She had a point, Caroline was losing track. They’d been separated for nine months now and she hoped things would improve. If she could move on it would be easier but she still loved the idiot. “It’s okay, I’m kidding. Whatever you need.”

“I’m fine..”

“How about ordering the chocolate chip pancakes? Between you and me you could use some endorphins…”

“Endorphins? Excuse me. I am separated not celibate.”

“Same thing,” she murmured, a cheeky smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. 

“You’ve been around Kol too long,” she joked, throwing her spare packet of sugar in Bonnie’s direction. They’d been friends since high school and when Caroline discovered Klaus professionally her friend did the same privately with his younger brother.   

That’s when things were simpler. Now she was on the verge of divorce. They would never have to see each other again once their divorce was finalised in three months time. Caroline assumed it would feel cathartic, that the relief would wash over her but no such luck as yet. 

“You know, Klaus has written a new song.”

“Well, given I’m not part of their management team anymore I don’t.” She’d removed herself months earlier so there’d be no awkward run-ins. If Caroline was anything it was professional. “So not sure what that has to do with me anymore.”

“You will,” she insisted, her brown eyes unwavering. “They’re premiering it at Coachella next month.” 

“Well, good for them.”

“I’m curious, why exactly are you two divorcing?” Her unexpected and penetrating question threw Caroline off balance.

“We’ve been through this before, Bon…”

“Yet I’m still confused,” she offered. “Nobody cheated, nobody lied…” 

“It’s not that easy,” she mumbled, suddenly finding the froth from her cappuccino much more interesting. “We were different people when we fell in love. Fame has a habit of changing people and situations.”

“But you both still love each other, so I’m not quite sure what I’m missing.” Caroline was silent unsure of how to reply given she was right. 

“It’s not that easy, love isn’t always enough.”

“Okay but please don’t sign those papers before at least hearing the song.” 

“When everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive.”

She comes to, her temperature suddenly doesn’t seem to matter anymore.  Bonnie is nudging her and pointing towards the stage. She feels the breath hitch in her throat. He’s standing stoically in the rain, his blonde curls now saturated and his white henley sticking to that muscular torso she has traced with her lips more times than she can count. 

She notices his eyes darting around the crowd, almost like he’s looking for someone. She immediately hopes it’s her. His voice is deep, guttural and filled with more emotion than she’s ever heard. She’s transfixed as he sings and the world stops around her.   

“And I don’t want the world to see me, 'cause I don’t think that they’d understand”

He’s long since lost the feeling in his hands, so too his heart. Any chance of her turning up seemed to be diminishing with every moment. He encourages the huge crowd to sing the chorus while he gathers his thoughts. 

Celebrity can be wonderful but it can also cause even the most unshakeable of relationships to falter. Caroline isn’t the jealous type and given his army of female fans that’s a good thing but the prolonged time apart kills. If Klaus could be with her every second of every day he would. 

“When everything’s meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am”

The final chords of the Mandolin echo throughout the venue, Klaus yells his thanks to the excited, Coachella crowd and makes his way backstage. The fact he’s wet doesn’t even register. 

“Nice set Niklaus,” Kol smiles, towel in hand to try to soak up some of the rain. “I think you just got at least another million female fans with that song.”

“I only want one,” he murmurs, without really thinking of the consequences. Excusing himself quickly, Klaus makes his way to the dressing room. Maybe what they have is really broken and can’t be fixed even with a song.

“You look like a drowned rat, anyone tell you that?” She’s standing there completely soaked, hands on hips, but as beautiful as Klaus remembers. 

“Has anyone told you break and enter is illegal?“ He smirks, 

“Not when Lenny the Stage Manager loves you,” she quips. 

“Do I have to kick his ass?” Klaus growls. “Because I will.”

“He’s sixty-five,” she chuckles. “But your egotistical, male chauvinistic display is noted.”

He moves closer, but not too close to scare her away. “What can I say? You bring it out in me.”

“Says the guy who names his song after another woman?” She cocks her left eyebrow and Klaus feels immediately paralysed. Did she really miss his meaning?

“Love,” he says, not realising he’s uttered the endearment before it leaves his mouth.  

“Then I did a little research and realised I am Iris,” she grins knowingly. “Rainbows and all.” 

Iris, the Greek Goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the Gods to be exact. Their first meeting obviously made an impact, even if she was being ridiculously sarcastic. 

“You’re much more than that,” he smiles, knowing just how true that is. “I just wish fame hadn’t gotten in the way of us.”

“But then I never would have met you,” she grins, stepping forward and pulling him towards her so that her arms are snaked around his waist possessively. “I gave in too soon and I’m sorry for that but I want to try again.”

“Me too,” he murmurs, his face nuzzling into the crook of her neck. 

“You’re cold,” she shrieks, attempting to get away but his grasp on her is strong at first before he releases her playfully. 

“Last one to the shower is a rotten egg,” he chuckles chasing after his wife, knowing that everything is going to be okay.

Hello Could you possibly please do a kol imagine where you have been kols Bestfriend forever and when you get hurt standing up for him he realizes that he loves you and just a whole bunch of fluff and maybe a lil crazy kol please?

Hi! I would love to write a fluffy imagine about Kol. Hope that you like what I wrote for you and it is what you imagined. :)

“Crazy about you.”

Kol Mikaelson - (Y/N) One shot/ImagineWord count: 1.079(A/N): 

(Y/S/C) = (Your Skin Color)

Requests are still open and you can always check out my Instagram @diariesstydia

I know the scene I am describing in which Kol is in danger never really occured but it’s a imagine/AU/One shot so I doesn’t really matter, okay?

Summary:A classic tale, boy and girl are best friends and fall in love, yet still don’t want to admit it. Since you have been best friends forever - literally forever - with Kol Mikaelson, you always thought that it was a cliché and some bullsh*t, until it happened to you too.

As long as your memories go back, Kol Mikaelson has been your best friend. Never did you leave his side, even in his darkest moments as a vampire. Never did he leave your side, even when you turned off your humanity. You both needed each other and you were like peanut butter and jelly. But it was only recently when you started viewing your best friend as something more. You wanted to kiss his lips and you wanted him to hold your hand.

You watched Kol being tied to a chair while Damon stood in front of him when you walked into the Mikaelson’s resident in Mystic Falls. Since the ‘Mystic Falls Gang’ had found a way to kill every member of the Mikaelson family they have been a constant threat. Even if you weren’t a member of their family, they also still threatened you as you were almost as old as Kol himself. Kol had bitten you when you were incredibly sick and almost dying. And eversince you had been along his side - except for when Klaus stabbed him, of course.

“Damon, please, stop this,” You yelled as you went to stand in front of Kol with your back turned to him. His brown eyes were filled with hope but also a lot of fear. After being immortal for so long, it was a terrifying idea for Kol to be killed.

“Why would I listen to you?” Damon asked, playing with the White Oak stick in his hands. “You are as much as a Mikaelson as all of them,” he said. “Hell, you are as much as a threat to us as Klaus is. Everyone knows you, (Y/N), because of all the demonic things you have done. Sounds like a Mikaelson to me.”

You sighed and rolled your eyes. People who didn’t want to listen to you when you politly asked you annoyed you. For serious, Damon was right. In your behaviour you were as much as a Mikaelson as Klaus. When something didn’t come your way, you made sure it eventually did, and when people hurt your loved ones, they could except a tornado coming their way.

“Don’t say I didn’t ask, Salvatore,” You said and after that you attacked the blue eyed guy. You tried to grab the white oak from him but before you could, you felt a piece of wood pearce through you. After that, you slowly slipped away of conciousness and the last thing you saw was a shocked and completly broken Kol.

   —————————————————————————————————–

- Kol’s P.O.V. -

Know that feeling when you feel like your whole has crashed down? That was what I felt when I saw Damon stab a piece of wood straight through (Y/N). Not until this moment had I ever thought about how it would feel to see her hurting like this, to see her lifeless body laying on the floor. It was heart breaking and I hated it, but what I hated more at this moment was Damon Salvatore.

While Damon was still feeling epic about flooring one of the eldest vampires, I got loose of the knot Damon had tied me in. Damon then immediatly got out of his ecsatsy but it was too late. Before he could react, I had already snapped his necked. 

“You should have listened to her,” I said to the cold body of Damon. Over the years I had learned a few things about (Y/N). First of all, don’t hurt or threaten the people she loves. Second, don’t ignore her threats and as last, she was never to be underrastimed.

I pulled out the wooden stock still sticking out of (Y/N)’s body. The grey color on her skin turned back into her lovely, (Y/S/C) color but she still didn’t open her beautiful eyes.

After I had sat myself down next to her body on the floor, I layed her head on my lap. All I wanted to see right now were her eyes. I wanted to see her beautiful smile again which I had known for so long. Everytime I was around her, she had this constant smile on her face which came through to her eyes. How I loved her smile and her eyes, how I loved everything about her. 

“(Y/N), I staked the asshole for you,” I started telling the still lifeless, cold body laying on the floor. “He should have known to not cross you. He should have listened to me when I said you would come for me because you always do. Everytime I get myself into trouble again, you are there to help me. You are my guardian angel who never leaves my side. So please, don’t leave me, (Y/N).” I swolled a big brock of emotion. I needed to stay strong and think that she is going to come back but that it’s just taking a bit longer then usually.“Please, (Y/N), I need you. I need to tell you how I feel. I need to tell you how my heart beats faster everytime you flash your smile at me, how lovely you look when you the sun shines on you,” I said and in that moment I realised that I had fallen completly, truly and madly in love with my best friend. I had fallen for her without even fully realising I had.

“To be honest, Kol, it kind of looks like you are about to cry in this sunlight,” I suddenly heard (Y/N). Never have I felt this relieved or happy in my life. She was alive and wasn’t planning on leaving me.

Before I said anything, I bowed down to her with my face and pressed my lips against hers. My heart was feeling even more happy when she started kissing me back. She felt the same way and I couldn’t be more grateful.

“By the way, Kol, thank your for staking Damon,” (Y/N) said to me as we broke our kiss and she began to sit up and sit in front of me. How terrified I had been to never hear her jokes again, to never hear her lovely voice again.

“Everything for you, love,” I said and a smile grew on her face when I called her ‘love’.“Thank you for coming to save me, everytime,” I thanked her and she answered by crashing her lips into mine once again. A sweet yet passionate kiss which explained that we both had fallen madly in love with each other. Cliché but true.

[medschoolash]

I'm not exactly uncomfortable with haylijah because he's Hope's uncle, but mostly because it seemed that he was interested in Hayley especifically because she was preggo. Not to mention he kept circling her so much that Klaus didn't have an opening to know her better in season one, and also "I'd hope you would hold yourself on higher standard than Niklaus". His demeanor around her bothers me and I don't get what post-season Hayley sees in it tbh.

people also don’t like it when you bring up the ick factor surrounding elijah’s attraction to hayley from the beginning. If they weren’t so hell bent on distorting it into a romantic draw it would have made perfect sense for Elijah to become completely invested in Hayley’s womb and dedicated to her well being. We all know how elijah feels about family and Klaus’s redemption, but they made the conscious choice to make that romantic, not platonic and about Family and yet seem completely adverse to addressing how gross that truly is and how completely shallow it is as well. Then get mad you when you point out how falling in love with a woman you don’t know from a can of paint because you’re so obsessed with your brother and his redemption and she’s carrying your brother’s child in her womb is in fact gross and rightfully makes people uncomfortable with the relationship. They want to paint Elijah’s affection for Hayley as this really pure thing that just manifested itself against his will but it wasn’t. He didn’t get to know her, he didn’t immediately see anything unique to her to make him fall for her, he met her perhaps twice and learned she was a pregnant orphan, was daggered for for three months and came back completely smitten and in love and despite no foundation for that love besides her pregnancy we’re supposed to think that it’s epic and pure. It’s a complete crock of shit and always has been.  

as far as the rest, I have my own issues with some of elijah’s behavior during season 1 and two but I try not to hold on to much of it because even if you would expect someone who professes to be dedicated to supporting their brother during his path to fatherhood and making sure their niece has the best life possible to not do things counterproductive to that goal, ultimately it wasn’t elijah’s responsibly to foster a relationship between Hayley and Klaus. Klaus made his share of mistakes with Hayley in season 1 that he had to rectify and he ultimately did despite some interference. The only 2 egregious thing on Elijah’s end during season 1 for me were  when Hayley was finally coming around to making an alliance with klaus for her wolves because she wanted to secure a strong pack for her daughter and Elijah straight up tells her that aligning herself with the father of his child would guarantee her anything but that  AND when he wanted Hayley back at the compound but she refused and he didn’t have the guts to piss her off himself by threatening to drag her back so he went to Klaus to convince him to do it instead, this came at a time when klaus was finally making some progress with Hayley after months of distance and threatening to drag her back aganist her will or even attempting it would only push Hayley further away from Klaus.

don’t even get me started on his demeanor lol he does the same things to Hayley that he does to Klaus, only with klaus its’ on a far greater scale because he doesn’t care about being the bad guy for Klaus, he can’t fathom not being the white knight in Hayley’s eyes. I too have no idea why Hayley is still so stuck besides she’s stuck on this idea of a savior because of her abandonment issues and she had no real concept of love due to her past so she distorts this thing with elijah in her mind and makes it something far grander than it truly is. I mean she did the same thing with Jackson to an extent and really I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with this character trait if they actually addressed the shit as being a problem in the narrative instead of painting it as this pure affection and love. They don’t tho, they don’t confront it at all. They have never truly taken the time to unpack what Elijah and Hayley feel for each other and why, instead they just keep telling you that it’s love and it’s all consuming even though we never see how it got there or why it continues to flourish. It just is and we just have to accept that as the truth because they say so and because they take the time to show that they desperately fuck each other every season after something big happens or gets ready to happen. I doubt they ever do so in the future either so it will remain the shallow concept of a relationship that it’s been for 4 seasons now.

“Well, it’s my time to say goodbye to The Vampire Diaries… It’s been a long ride and I’ve grown up so much with this show. I’m team Damon since the first "Hello, brother” but I also loved Stefan. I admire how Elena loved both, Stefan and Damon, but at the end, Damon was right, all that she ever wanted was a love that’d consume her, passion, adventure and even a little danger. Elena was the kindness broken heart, but in the end, she got all that she wanted. Bonnie showed me that no matter what life gives you, you just have to accept it and be stronger, I dont think there’s any other character that is more strong than bon-bon! She is beautiful and she suffered so much, Bonnie deserved a life with Enzo, her true love. Bamon wasn’t my otp because I loved their friendship and I wouldn’t change that. They passed through many things together, and they had a beautiful friendship but I guess that not all characters need to become lovers. At first, Caroline was so annoying but with all the pain and all the life exprience she got, she growed up very much. She became a sweet women, an amazing mother just like Liz was to her. She didn’t deserve to lose so many people. She lost her mother, and everytime I watch that episode I cry a little bit more. Caroline became independent, fearless, after she turned a vampire. She showed us that being vampire isn’t that bad. I also think that Caroline was one of the best characters because she always found light in darkness (I mean, in Klaus, in Stefan) but I guess she didn’t realized that she was the light, after all. This three girls provide this: best friends are real, and they don’t need to talk every day (well, every year) to be best friends. Damon. Our big brother. Our vilain. He’s the bad guy that turns into a good guy for one girl. In my opinion, there’s nothing I would change about this guy. Damon was so broken, he fell in love for Elena, the girlfriend of his brother, he was considered so selfish. I know that he’ve done horrible things, but at the end, he isn’t that selfish at all. He loved Elena since the begining and when he said that to her, he compelled her to forget, because Stefan “deserved the girl”, and also there’s so manny little things he could have done and he didn’t, because after all, he wasn’t that selfish. He was so much more. He was a great friend and brother. Damon was just broken, and he needed someone to fix him, and Elene done that. She fixed every single part that was broken inside him. Stefan was the good guy. He came to Mystic Falls looking for redemption, and what he found was Elena. She brought him back to life and he did the same to her. They loved each other, even when they broke up. I remember the episode that Caroline and Stefan were dancing and they talked about Elena, and she said to him “I think that someday you’ll meet someone new and you’ll fall maddly in love, and you have moved on without have realizing that.” And guess what, even without knowing, they fell in love. Steroline was unexpected, but they look beautiful together. I guess now, Stefan’s had all he wanted, he got peace, love and redemption. He even found Lexi, his best friend. I wouldn’t change a thing in Stefan’s fate. Delena was my otp since the begining and I’m so glad that they worked out and lived a happy life together. They found peace together. I mean, they’re meant for each other. Stefan and Elena were soulmates and I do aprecciate that. But Delena was more than that, their love was something that I can’t explain. I loved Klaroline as much as I loved Steroline, and now that Stefan is dead, I hope that Klaus can finally be Caroline’s last love. I also loved the chemistry between Enzo and Bonnie, their love was beautiful. This show teached me how to loved, how to be a better person, how forgiveness is important and, especially, how eternal friendship is possible. It teached me that the pain must be felt, we have to let people in and people go, friends can be our family, we can come back to life, even if we aren’t vampires ahahah. It made me happy, sad, laugh, cry… I guess this is it. I wanted to thank them and Matt, Alaric, The Twins, Tyler, Liz, The Originals Family, The Heretics, Katherine, Kai, Cade, I mean to every character. And say goodbye. Sorry for this text, I was feeling epic. “This life will be good and beautiful but not without a heart break. With death comes peace. But pain is the cust of living, like love, it’s how we know we’re alive.” By me.

What Drives The 50 Billion Dollar Man Dan Peña?

What drives you, well when I went into coaching 25 1/2 years ago, i wanted to change what was called personal development plan, and the true Financial, coaching, stoked mentoring, and I didn’t know what I would have to do to do it but whatever I’ve done in my life, i always want to lead I want to be first, so after about 4-5 years I discovered, that I even though I’m a good motivator motivational speaker, that’s not what I want to do I want to teach how to create generational wealth, okay well that normally takes, 20 to 25 years to create, which is, the definition of a generation in three to seven years as we were saying in the car on the way over here, 3 years if you do everything perfectly which we know Nobody Does it perfectly., six or seven years for the, somebody that’s good, and 8 to 10 years of if you’re a real doofus, And I realize the work that it would take, and that I told all my portfolio I sold all my assets, stallion I’ve been in, cash for a long time because I don’t want there to be a conflict between me giving the kid advice, in my own personal investment, strategy, and so, the as we continue to develop the templates, the process of the systems in the procedures, they’re based on, success, one success after another success, last 4-5 years we’ve produced teenage multi-millionaires, some of the teenage multi-millionaires as you witness on YouTube are flying around their own goddamn jet planes now, we’ve we’ve produced, largest deal in recorded history the 500 billion dollar, neon which is the, ascent City, of the, 22nd or 23rd century, willimantic Klaus Kleinfeld, so we got everything from, millions, pennsylvania, hundreds of Millions, billions, tens of billions and even hundreds of billions now, And we have all the systems, how to do it, and 99.9% of all the kids that have benefited, qla, i’ve never met, i would know if they were saying in this room, because we decided almost 10 years ago to give all the product away free, i because I went as you pointed I went in the most expensive product to free, because that takes away, almost all the excuses of the kids they’re just, flapping their mouth, and now two-thirds of my time is pro bono, i go around universities all over the world, that guy we can you record those video also make it all off online, and I was at University of Toronto leaving University last year, and I was the Naval Academy just a few weeks ago United States Naval Academy, because, i realized the way that really influence, future is influence the kids, Now unfortunately.

Soquoque discovers:

My thoughts while watching Eclipse: in up to 80 sentences

1.      I am watching Twilight, right? Oh, there’s the vampires… or at least the shadow of one

2.      Do they all normally play with their food like this?

3.      Ok, there is no way she bit his hand, absolutely not. I’m calling bullshit

4.      Wow, Edward has really long side burns

5.      Whoa whoa whoa, 2 minutes into the movie and there’s already a marriage proposal? Pace yourself guys, this movie is like 5 hours long

6.      Hello there Charlie, fancy seeing you here again

7.      Why is everyone in this movie trying to make deals or negotiate with everyone else? You guys ever heard of holding your ground?

8.      Edward Cullen: vampire, sparkler, high jumper, mechanic

9.      Wait, Bella still has friends? How? She’s like the worst friend ever, why are they all still there.

10.  The Cullen’s really need to work on their poker faces. Or else people might start getting suspicious of the weird, pale, impossibly good-looking family

11.  Edward continues to lie to Bella even though WE ALL KNOW how that turned out literally any other time before this

12.  Bella is only concerned about the fact that she isn’t a vampire yet; Bella, there are people dying asshole, who gives a shit if the Voltari see that you’re still human.

13.  Lol, Edward is a terrible actor. I wouldn’t quit your day job

14.  Ah I freaking love Charlie man

15.  Hold up, they’re already in Florida? We didn’t even get a plane scene? Oh come on Twilight, you have time for Bella staring off into the sunset but not this?

16.  EVERYONE in this movie knows that there is something seriously weird about Bella’s relationship with Edward except for Bella.

17.  She really is incredibly pale isn’t she

18.  This scene man. All the Cullen’s and the wolves and Victoria still manages to get away? That’s some bullshit

19.  Yes she will Jasper, yes she will.

20.  Stupid wolf attacks Emmet instead of, you know, the vampire they were ALL CHASING!

21.  Of course she wouldn’t Edward, Bella doesn’t listen to anyone, hence Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2.

22.  Love that Jacob intro music yo

23.  WHY WOULD YOU STILL LIE AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS! Edward, you fool- the jig is up my man.

24.  Jacob is confused by Bella’s hostility towards him… Jacob must have not have been present during the events of New Moon

25.  Wait, did she just skip school? How is this chick even graduating? I swear I only saw her attend class like twice in all three movies.

26.  AAAAHHHH original Leah…and I don’t care

27.  Btw, who are all these shirtless dudes? Jacobs pack? Since when? I mean I get that it couldn’t just be Jacob, but these random dudes are hella random and thus I do not care nor am I at all invested in their lives. Soooo moving on.

28.  Imprint foreshadowing… although nothing would have prepared us for the actual imprinting.

29.  Would we have known if you had imprinted Jacob? Would we really? How exactly, since these Twilight fuckers only seem to tell us really important information after the fact

30.  Is this angry Jacob? Is this really all he’s got? Am I the only one underwhelmed here?

31.  “Bella, they’re not even alive” lol, true Jake, so very true

32.  AAAAHHH wannabe creepy Edward is hella creepy

33.  Call me sadistic but wouldn’t it make more sense for Riley to have killed Charlie right now? I mean they want to hurt Bella, right? Wouldn’t killing her father do that? Or at the very least kidnapping him?  Look, I love the guy and all but this weird Riley watching Charlie sleep and leaving him completely unharmed doesn’t make any sense

34.  Ah the Cullen house. Bella and Edward need to negotiate with Carlisle to keep this house because it is beautiful

35.  “Now let’s all just sit around in a nice little circle and discuss what Edward smelt in Bella’s room, shall we?” – The Cullen’s, probably

36.  …Uhm Jacob, she has Jacob. I mean, you don’t have to be a mind reader to figure that out Edward

37.  Lol, that Switzerland line is probably one of the worst lines in this movie

38.  Quick question: why exactly is Bella so special again? I mean you all are basically ready to die for her, so I would just like to know why exactly

39.  I hope he doesn’t own any shirts Edward, have you seen Taylor Lautner’s abs? Don’t deprive the audience of that

40.  Also, lol are they seriously having a dick measuring contest right now, in the middle of the street? Interesting.

41.  And now for the history section of the movie- anyone mind if I go grab some water really quickly? No? Okay cool, thanks.

42.  Oh shit, I missed some stuff. Uhm… new-borns? Armies? Alliteration? I’m intrigued

43.  How can you idiots think it’s the Voltari? Isn’t this a bit low profile for the creepy vampire government?

44.  Oh I see, it was to drag this movie on wasn’t it? And now we have yet another Edward and Bella whisper-talking scene. Awesome.

45.  Blah blah, you can’t be a vampire Bella, blah blah

46.  Where are we right now, we can’t still be in forks right?

47.  Yeah Jacob, YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH BELLA, WE KNOW. WE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN. JEEZ, WOULD YOU JUST TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT AGAIN.

48.  Yeah, she’s not. She’s rushing into it for completely different reasons asshole.

49.  Bam! Punch to your stupid face. Take that wolf boy

50.  I fucking love this scene man- not the Jacob and Edward pissing match, but Charlie’s breaking up of the fight.

51.  “I kissed Bella, and she broke her hand…punching my face-total misunderstanding.” -ICONIC

52.  And now we get Rosaline? Rosalee? Nikki Reed’s character’s backstory, yay. Btw, she was the badass- killing your ex-fiancé while draped in a beautiful wedding dress? Fucking priceless

53.  Great, now Bella is shipwrecked- wait? Oh shit, wrong movie. My bad (I’m also simultaneously watching Snow White and the Huntsman, for some reason)

54.  Ugh, we get it, being a vampire sucks- when do we get to the ‘Eclipse’ part of the movie?

55.  Also, this movie sure does make a big hoopla around the fact that turning into a vampire will basically ruin Bella’s life and is a totally bad call and then immediately goes on to disregard all of that in the next two movies. So, I guess what I’m saying is, all of this is just one big enormous waste of time.

56.  Full disclosure: I left for about 10 minutes…ah man, I missed the training session? Fuck.

57.  But while we’re on the topic, wtf was the point of that anyway? I get that the wolves needed to know about how to defeat the new-borns and all, but couldn’t Jasper have sent them an email? Or a memo? A tweet?

58.  Yay, now we get Jasper’s backstory; are Emmet’s, Alice’s, Carlisle and Esme’s going to be in the next movie? No? Then wtf is the point of all of this!

59.  Petition for a twilight spin-off where we see how all the other vampire couples in this movie met, because I am willing to bet good money that those are a hell of a lot more interesting than Bella and Edward’s story.

60.  Lol, Bella figures out that Victoria is behind everything because she needed to do something, right?

61.  STOP BEING A CHILD BELLA, THEY’RE ALL TRYING TO SAVE YOUR FUCKING LIFE!

62.  I really do love Jasper

63.  He said RUN Jacob, not walk at a glacial pace.

64.  And then this jackass just straight up stops. Are you people not on the clock? Army of new-borns approaching to kill everyone? Anybody?

65.  Ok, one more time I promise- I love Charlie!

66.  She was literally just about to come inside the house Edward, calm down dude

67.  Ok, I get that the Cullen’s live in the woods, and don’t have any visitors and stuff but wouldn’t it be like a logical precaution to have actual beds in the house? Just in case? I can’t be the only one who thinks this is a good idea.

68.  …Uhm, okay now we’re in the mountains. Cool (lol, no pun intended)

69.  They really should have planned better for this trip, just saying.

70.  Worst. Sleep-acting. Ever

71.  You know, a part of me wishes that Bella did actually chose Jacob and then the next movie is just a moping Edward trying to deal with his heartbreak and then he meets Klaus Mikaelson and the two of them plot to kill Jacob and take over Forks. Doesn’t that sound like an epic movie?

72.  why, Why, WHY ON EARTH DOES SHE ASK JACOB TO KISS HER? THIS MAKES NO SENSE, STOP TRYING TO FORCE THIS RELATIONSHIP ON US YOU BASTARDS!

73.  Most. Understanding. Fiancé. Ever (also, Bella is a dick to her fiancé)

74.  “it’s starting” fucking finally

75.  These new-borns may be strong, but they can’t fight for shit

76.  Who is this little girl, and why am I supposed to care?

77.  Oh shit, Victoria. Also, AAAAHHHH new actress playing Victoria is as uninteresting as her predecessor

78.  “You’re dead” No Riley, you’re dead. nice seeing you though

79.  Ding dong the (red-headed changed actress) witch is dead

80.  Fucking bullshit surprise new-born is bullshit. Also, DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM THE TRAINING SESSION JACOB

81.   ‘Hang in there”? Hang in there? For the love of all things good and pure, please SHUT UP Bella. We really don’t need your utterly useless advice right now.

82.  Out of place Voltari are completely, and totally unexciting

83.  AAAAHH sweaty Taylor Lautner… he’s still pretty though- oblivious and unbearably naïve, but still pretty

84.  Jacob, sweetie, please just stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.

85.  They really do love that field, don’t they?
