Who do you think Bonnie would have most likely befriended out of all the tvdu witches? Her and davina and her and Vincent had the most potential for a great friendship imo. Maybe even freya

All of them really! Bonnie would have issues with how those NOLA witches could be ruthless to their own kind though. Bonnie doesn’t have that access to witches in Mystic Falls and the plot never really allows Bonnie to make friends outside her circle of vampires. Think of how Tyler was making friends with wolves/other hybrids. When Bonnie met the Martins, she loved learning and bonding with Luka, then meeting Liv the first thing Bonnie tried to do was mentor her and become her friend. Vincent/Davina and Bonnie would’ve been a fun trio. Freya/Bonnie would be nice too after Freya realizes not everybody is out to get her family. In a better series Qetsiyah’s scenes and plots would have more to do with Bonnie than Silas/Amara triangle. Nora is another good example of this.

The series never really has Bonnie acknowledge she has no help in anything magic wise. Grams was her mentor and she died, there wasn’t anyone teaching her magic. She’s self taught unlike the other witches who were born into covens/mentored by someone else all their lives.

Anyways let Bonnie have witch friends and a life outside the MFG. She’d love not being the only witch in the room with people who understands! Thank you for the ask 💜💜

Despite the stress and feeling super awkward, you successfully managed to flirt with Calli! But now what do you do? You keep remembering your conversation with Lukas earlier... you don’t want that to happen again!

Just as you’re struggling, you notice Alice walking your way. You haven’t flirted with her yet!

Nola: Alice!

Alice: Hmm?

Bacaan I

2Taw 24:17-25

Kalian telah membunuh Zakharia antara bait Allah mezbah.

Bacaan dari Kitab Kedua Tawarikh:

Sesudah Imam Yoyada meninggal dunia,

para pemimpin Yehuda datang menyembah raja.

Sejak itu raja mendengarkan mereka.

Mereka meninggalkan rumah Tuhan, Allah nenek moyang mereka,

lalu beribadah kepada tiang-tiang berhala

dan patung-patung berhala.

Oleh karena kesalahan itu Yehuda dan Yerusalem tertimpa murka.

Namun Tuhan mengutus nabi-nabi kepada mereka,

supaya mereka berbalik kepada-Nya.

Nabi-nabi itu sungguh-sungguh memperingatkan mereka,

tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkannya.

Lalu Roh Allah menguasai Zakharia, putera Imam Yoyada.

Ia tampil di depan rakyat, dan berkata kepada mereka,

"Beginilah sabda Tuhan,

'Mengapa kalian melanggar perintah-perintah Tuhan,

sehingga kalian tidak beruntung?'

Oleh karena kalian meninggalkan Tuhan,

maka Ia pun meninggalkan kalian!"

Tetapi mereka mengadakan persepakatan terhadap Zakharia,

dan atas perintah raja mereka melempari dia dengan batu

di pelataran rumah Tuhan.

Raja Yoas tidak ingat

akan kesetiaan yang ditunjukkan Yoyada, ayah Zakharia itu,

terhadap dirinya.

Ia membunuh putera Yoyada itu,

dan pada saat kematiannya Zakharia berseru,

"Semoga Tuhan melihatnya dan menuntut balas!"

Pada pergantian tahun tentara Aram maju menyerang Yoas,

dan masuk ke Yehuda dan Yerusalem.

Dari bangsa itu semua pemimpin habis dibunuh,

dan segala jarahan dikirimkan mereka kepada raja negeri Damsyik.

Walaupun tentara Aram itu datang dengan sedikit orang,

namun Tuhan menyerahkan tentara yang sangat besar

kepada mereka,

karena orang Yehuda telah meninggalkan Tuhan,

Allah nenek moyang mereka.

Demikianlah orang Aram melakukan penghukuman kepada Yoas.

Ketika orang Aram pergi, Yoas ditinggalkan dengan luka-luka berat.

Lalu para pengawalnya mengadakan kesepakatan terhadap dia

karena darah putera Imam Yoyada.

Mereka membunuh Raja Yoas di atas tempat tidurnya.

Ia mati dan dikuburkan di kota Daud,

tetapi bukan di makam para raja.

Demikanlah sabda Tuhan.

Mazmur Tanggapan

Mzm 89:4-5.29-30.31-32.33-34

R:29a

Aku akan memelihara kasih setia-Ku bagi dia

untuk selama-lamanya.

*Engkau berkata,

"Telah Kuikat perjanjian dengan orang pilihan-Ku,

Aku telah bersumpah kepada Daud, hamba-Ku:

Aku hendak menegakkan anak cucumu untuk selama-lamanya,

dan membangun takhtamu turun-temurun."

*Untuk selama-lamanya,

Aku akan memelihara kasih setia-Ku bagi dia

dan perjanjian-Ku denganya akan Kupegang teguh.

Aku akan menjamin kelestarian anak cucunya sepanjang masa,

dan takhtanya seumur langit.

*Jika anak-anaknya meninggalkan Taurat-Ku

dan mereka tidak hidup menurut hukum-Ku,

jika ketetapan-Ku mereka langgar

dan perintah-perintah-Ku tidak mereka patuhi.

*Maka akan Kubalas pelanggaran mereka dengan gada,

dan kesalahan mereka dengan pukulan-pukulan.

Tetapi kasih setia-Ku tidak akan Kujauhkan dari padanya

dan Aku tidak akan berlaku curang dalam hal kesetiaan.

Bait Pengantar Injil

2Kor 8:9

Yesus Kristus telah menjadi miskin, sekalipun Ia kaya,

agar berkat kemiskinan-Nya, kalian menjadi kaya.

Bacaan Injil

Mat 6:24-34

Janganlah kuatir akan hari esok.

Inilah Injil Suci menurut Matius:

Dalam khotbah di bukit, berkatalah Yesus,

"Tak seorang pun dapat mengabdi kepada dua tuan.

Karena jika demikian,

ia akan membenci yang seorang dan mengasihi yang lain,

atau ia akan setia kepada yang seorang

dan tidak mengindahkan yang lain.

Kalian tidak dapat mengabdi kepada Allah dan kepada Mamon.

Karena itu Aku berkata kepadamu:

Janganlah kuatir akan hidupmu,

apa yang hendak kalian makan atau minum,

dan janganlah kuatir pula akan tubuhmu,

apa yang hendak kalian pakai.

Bukankah hidup itu lebih penting daripada makanan,

dan tubuh itu lebih penting daripada pakaian?

Pandanglah burung-burung di langit,

yang tidak menabur dan tidak menuai,

dan tidak mengumpulkan bekal dalam lumbung,

toh diberi makan oleh Bapamu yang di surga.

Bukankah kalian jauh melebihi burung-burung itu?

Siapakah di antara kalian

yang karena kekuatirannya dapat menambahkan sehasta saja

pada jalan hidupnya?

Dan mengapa kamu kuatir akan pakaian?

Perhatikanlah bunga bakung di ladang,

yang tumbuh tanpa bekerja dan tanpa memintal.

Namun Aku berkata kepadamu,

Salomo dalam segala kemegahannya pun

tidak berpakaian seindah salah satu dari bunga itu.

Jadi jika demikian Allah mendandani rumput di ladang,

yang hari ini ada dan besok dibuang ke dalam api,

tidakkah Ia akan terlebih lagi mendandani kalian,

hai orang yang kurang percaya?

Maka janganlah kamu kuatir dan berkata,

'Apakah yang akan kami makan?

Apakah yang akan kami minum?

Apakah yang akan kami pakai?'

Semua itu dicari bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Allah.

Akan tetapi Bapamu yang di surga tahu,

bahwa kalian memerlukan semuanya itu.

Maka carilah dahulu Kerajaan Allah dan kebenarannya,

maka semuanya itu akan ditambahkan kepadamu.

Sebab itu janganlah kamu kuatir akan hari esok,

karena hari esok mempunyai kesusahannya sendiri.

Kesusahan sehari cukuplah untuk sehari."

Demikianlah sabda Tuhan.

Chaos - FC: Lukas Gage - NPC for CJ - Also related to Cheshire Cat

Snagging Lukas Gage after seeing him in his role as The Cat King for Chaos, CJ's Dad. It's all I could see the whole time. That was CJ's father. One of these days maybe I'll figure out who Figment could be, but there's no way that was not CJ's Dad. Reminder he raised CJ. He and Figment are not together anymore and were not together for the raising of CJ at all. Figment left CJ with Chaos to devote his life to the Dreamfinder and was mostly absent from his life.

Edit: Sidenote to the witch wars or Nola/Feral event - Being more of a whimsical creature than human he did not involve himself in such matters, nor did he reside in Nola during the Coven war. As for the scourge of Nola he was more a Wonderlander at the time bouncing about in the chaos of the nonsensical realm, so he wasn't affected. He may come up soon to check on his son. Call it curiosity killed the cat for world building.

Everything was going well until it suddenly wasn’t!

Lukas: Gotta stop you there. Way too far.

Nola: Oh... Okay. Sorry. :(

You’re left confused, not knowing what went wrong or what you did that was so upsetting.

[thehollowprince]

The Originals was a waste, New Orleans was whitewashed and so much was retconned just to make it work lol. Anyway, the spinoff should've been about Bonnie who has family roots in NOLA, the Bennett Coven as a powerful matriarchy + she and Tyler both go there to be leaders of their respective factions, and their interactions with Marcel and the supernatural politics and Southern Gothic aesthetics. But, I still want Tristan, Aurora and Lucien there + The Originals as antagonists maybe

Did Bonnie have roots in New Orleans? I don't remember that, but I never actually watched the last two seasons of the show so I could have missed something. I could have sworn early seasons said that Bonnie's ancestors (post Qetsitah and Ayana) were from Salem (probably an allusion to Tituba), though if I remember correctly, I thought the Martin Family (Jonas, Luka, and Greta) came from Louisiana originally.

All that aside, you're completely right when you talk about them completely whitewashing New Orleans. That city has a huge African-American presence, and we saw a grand total of maybe three or four characters that were black that had any prominent presence in the show? Everything else, including the city's founding being attributed to those viking vampires instead?

Yeah, I call bullshit.

And that's not even getting into the missed opportunity of the native Creole and Cajun populations, something that is unique to that area.

That entire show was a missed opportunity.

And I agree with you regarding Bonnie and Tyler. Hell, throw in Matt and Jeremy, too and we could have built up an entire show around those four, given their unique roles in the Mystic Falls Gang and how they were all criminally underused on TVD. Tyler in particular, especially given what we later found out about werewolves and their origins being in New Orleans. They could have very easily kept Klaus in Mystic Falls to creepily stalk Caroline and Stefan, while making a spinoff show about the supernatural community of The Big Easy.

Let's just set this up here...

The Originals started after season four of The Vampire Diaries, so after the MFG graduated high school. That right there would have been the perfect opportunity to do a clean break rather than keep the same group together after high school when generally everyone goes their seperate ways. So after graduation, Bonnie's still alive because fuck you, Plec! Jeremy's alive, too, and everything else is pretty much the same. Matt goes off on his Eurotrip with Rebekah to get it out of his system and Tyler has been exiled from his own home by Klaus' neurotic paranoia. What next?

Well, rather than everyone going to Whitmore for college, let's say that Matt was accepted on a scholarship to Tulane or something, actually give the poor boy a chance, so when he comes back from Europe he heads off for New Orleans right away. Or hell, even have him be an O'Connell, because by that point we still had no idea who his dad was, maybe even have him work as a bartender or something at Rousseau's. Let's say Tyler is already there, having been kicked out of his own home, exploring his ancestral roots and bonding with the local werewolf pack - we could explore what it means to be an actual leader of a pack (something Tyler did voluntarily rather than being forced into it like Hayley... werewolf queen, my ass). Bonnie goes on her road trip with her mother before hearing about the witches of New Orleans and decides she wants to know more about her craft so she heads there. And Jeremy, he left home because of his Hunter's instinct, chasing down rogue vampires that kill people for fun, hunting one to New Orleans. Maybe even have him explore the myth of Rayna Cruz.

So many possibilities!

Boom, we have four characters right off the bat, and can then introduce characters like Marcel, Vincent, Keelin, Jackson, Davina, Sophie, etc. We could get into the politics between the different supernatural factions of the city and see how they test the friendships of this people who have known each other since childhood, rather than have everything revolve entirely around the Mikaelsons and their borderline-incestuous drama.

I should be a showrunner. I'd do a better job coming up with a story than Plec or Narducci ever did.

wayyy too early nba playoff predictions

As I write this, the play-in has started with the Nets leading the Cavs. I got the idea to just predict the entire playoffs March Madness style. Keep in mind that I have only recently started to closely follow the NBA again for about a week now? And the rest of my predictions will be based on bias and gut feelings. Who knows, I might get some things right?

Play-In

West 7-8 (Winner will become 7th seed and face #2 Memphis in 1st round): Minnesota def. LA Clippers

Like I said, I haven’t followed these two teams very closely. But I’ve liked Karl Anthony-Towns since he entered the league, and I’ve always had a sort of affinity for the Wolves. Plus I don’t think LA can overcome being without their best players due to injury.

West 9-10 (Winner will face the loser of the 7-8 game for the 8th seed): New Orleans def. San Antonio

I am a fan of the Mavericks. Therefore, I am a fan of the Spurs losing.

West 8th seed game (Winner will become the 8th seed and face #1 Phoenix in the 1st round): New Orleans def. LA Clippers

Again I think the Clippers being without their stars will be their downfall. I know Zion Williamson is questionable due to injury as well but I think NOLA has a better team in general. Then again, these teams are competing to see who will lose to the Suns, so…eh.

East 7-8 (Winner will become 7th seed and face #2 Boston in 1st round): Brooklyn def. Cleveland

Not just saying this because this game has already started by the time I started writing this. The Nets are just the better team, especially with KD and 🙅‍♂️💉🦠 playing. And maybe Ben Simmons comes back soon too. Plus, I like Steve Nash.

East 9-10 (Winner will face the loser of the 7-8 game for the 8th seed): Charlotte def. Atlanta

Bro idk. If anything, this will be a really exciting game between two teams who could definitely make it out of the play-in with their offenses being what they are. Trae Young and LaMelo Ball is a matchup I’m excited for. I chose the Hornets solely because I like their color scheme more than the Hawks’.

East 8th seed game (Winner will become the 8th seed and face #1 Miami in the 1st round): Charlotte def. Cleveland

I think Charlotte will pile on the offense and the Cavs won’t be able to counter it.

West 1st Round

#1 Phoenix def. #8 Pelicans in 4

I can’t see NOLA putting together a good enough game against the Suns even once.

#2 Memphis def. #7 Minnesota in 5

Minnesota could be a long shot, but the Grizzlies have too much going for them. The Wolves might take one or two to make it interesting, but I don’t expect an upset.

#6 Denver def. #3 Golden State in 6

I’m a big fan of Nikola Jokic. And I think in the playoffs, he’ll turn it on to a level that even Steph and Klay can’t keep up with, and just keep rolling with it from there.

#4 Dallas def. #5 Utah in 7

I’m going to be honest with you. With Luka straining his calf in the Mavs’ last regular season game, Dallas’ chances are significantly diminished. But with the assumption that Luka will not miss too many games, I think Dallas can sneak past. Hopefully.

East 1st Round

#1 Miami def. #8 Charlotte in 5

Not really expecting anything big here, but maybe the Hornets steal a game.

#2 Boston def. #7 Brooklyn in 6

I think it would be a very, very competitive series, but I don’t see the Nets putting things together well enough to oust such a solid contender.

#3 Milwaukee def. #6 Chicago in 5

The defending champs could make it all the way back for a second year, and I don’t think the Bulls will do much to disrupt that.

#4 Philadelphia def. #5 Toronto in 7

This is honestly a toss-up for me, but I think James Harden will be a difference-maker in the most critical moments while Joel Embiid has been holding up the team for the most part all series.

West Semifinals

#1 Phoenix def. #4 Dallas in 6

I know, I know, I gotta stick by my team. But at the same time, the Luka injury situation has me scared. And if possibly losing one player shakes my confidence in a team this much? Against the team with the best record in the whole league? Yeah… (I will happily be proven wrong)

#6 Denver def. #2 Memphis in 7

Here’s my big upset call, and it all rides on Jokic being an absolute menace to the Grizzlies on both ends of the court, while Ja has a couple of rare off-days.

East Semifinals

#1 Miami def. #4 Philadelphia in 7

I think Philly has a chance here. But I also think Miami has a more well rounded basketball team that is more likely to succeed in down-to-the-wire situations. Which this series will likely become.

#2 Boston def. #3 Milwaukee in 7

Again a down-to-the-wire series that I think Boston is slightly better suited for. What I like so much about the field in the East is how so many teams have such good chances to make it all the way. All in all, I think the teams with home court advantage get the edge in this round.

Conference Finals

#6 Denver def. #1 Phoenix in 6

I lied, this is my big upset call. At this point Jokic is undeniable offensively and insurmountable on defense. Denver will steal one or two games on the road and clinch their trip to the finals at home.

#2 Boston def. #1 Miami in 7

A toss-up, again. But this time, Jayson Tatum goes off on a couple of these games and moves the needle just slightly in the Celtics’ favor.

NBA Finals

#6 Denver def. #2 Boston in 7

Coming off their sound defeat of Phoenix in the West Finals, Denver keeps carrying their Rocky Mountain avalanche of momentum through the Finals. To get down to it game-by-game, I think Denver takes game 1 in Boston, Boston takes 2 and 3, only for Denver to blow them out in 4. This pisses Boston off just enough for them to win a close game 5. Denver wins game 6 at home, and in game 7, the Nuggets have the ball and a one-possession deficit with seconds left, they’ll put the ball in the hands of Jokic, and he’ll get off a difficult shot that nonetheless falls, and make millions from selling signed prints of whatever iconic photo comes of it.

Conclusion

I’ll make edited prediction posts as each round ends to make up for the many incorrect predictions I likely made 👍

Gosh if I’m right tho. This blog might reach 50 followers.

The Annual Premature NBA Regular Season Tiers and Predictions

The NBA season is finally here! With the season slated to tip off today, I’ve made my predictions for the season that surely will end up being wrong but who cares. Also, I’ve made tiers of how I view each team and where they are as they start their quest for the Larry O’Brien trophy. Here they are! Enjoy

NBA Tiers

The Imperial: Warriors/Celtics/Rockets/Raptors/Sixers

The Warriors are on a tier of themselves beyond this list. Everyone else can push them and potentially capitalize on an unfortunate injury we hope doesn’t happen.

The Sleepers: Jazz/Pacers/Lakers/Bucks/Nuggets

All fairly young teams who can leap up to the next tier hinging on young players (Donovan Mitchell/Myles Turner/Brandon Ingram/Giannis Antetokounmpo/Jamal Murray and Gary Harris) taking leaps in their games.

The Mercurial: Thunder/TWolves/Wiz/Pels/Spurs

Teams with a foggy outlook. Russell Westbrook is already injured and Andre Roberson will be out an extra couple of months. The Timberwolves hate each other more than any team it seems, though the Wizards will give them a run for their money. Spurs already are down 3 guards and no Dejounte Murray lowers their ceiling. Can Pelicans sustain last year’s success without Rajon Rondo and Boogie Cousins?

The Middle: Mavs/Grizz/Blazers/Pistons/Heat

Teams with little upside were they to make the playoffs. Blazers are the best team of the bunch but can they improve from last year’s sweep by New Orleans? Mavs and Grizz would love just to make the playoffs. Heat and Pistons probably should make it in an underwhelming Eastern conference.

The Outcasts: Hornets/Nets/Magic/Clippers/Cavs

Teams not quite good enough to make the playoffs or bad enough to tank. Magic will find a way to land a top 10 pick like they always do. Cavs should tank with a top 10 protected pick, but likely won’t. Hornets and Clippers could make the playoffs if things broke their way. Nets finally have their own pick, but will be sneaky competitive.

The Tankers: Knicks/Bulls/Kings/Suns/Hawks

#BrittleforLittle. #CryOnforZion. #ScamforCam. #NoPlayforRJ. (These tank nicknames still need to be workshopped)
