I will never support that trash show but...

Where’s the correlation? If she didn’t want to do so many episodes she would have asked to do less in S8 as opposed to appearing in every single episode. Let’s not forget that DE got their endgame in one episode after years apart.

And Troll/Anon/Whoever you are, would you be asking this if Candice was a man? Daniel has children no one asks or judges him. Zach has had a kid throughout the whole duration of TVD - no one questions why he did so many episodes of TVD.

So I like your casual misogyny there Nonnie.

Aren't you worried about Caroline only being in 4 episodes? That's not really enough to develop their relationship. We're barely get much. I still can't believe it's only 4. It must have been Candice who didn't want to do more since she has a kid now.

There’s not a single thing in this that l neither think is accurate, nor that I agree with.

I’m just...This week has been sucky. So first Darısı Başımıza gets cancelled and the crew found out through social media while they were filming Episode 5, Wednesday’s Episode. And then the news about Klaroline.

And I just don’t see how they can write an endgame for them. Öykü and Ozan deserve better. This show is literally about their lead romance and the misunderstanding that’s preventing them (she’s engaged to his stepbrother as well) and with how Episode 4 ends, it’s hard to see how they can wrap everything up in 2 hours that stays true to the story they are telling considering there are lots of secrets and misunderstandings that need to be resolved.

Plus I really fell for this couple, as well as Rüya and Merter. I was close to adding them to my OTP list - which is hard now because I don’t think they have been given sufficient length to be there.

And now onto Klaroline

We waited so long and technically just getting Candice on the show is a win for us. But this isn’t fair. Why use Caroline for the bait in 4 episodes? Just have her in one episode? And Klelijah killing themselves, makes no sense. No development in The Originals. This is the ending that The Salvatores should have gotten in The Vampire Diaries - actually Paul and Ian wanted this ending.

It just makes no sense because no one wants Legacies - or if they do they want Klaus, Caroline, precious TVD/TO characters. The built in Legacy characters have no fan base. Whose gonna watch?

Ozan and Elif deserve better. I hope they get a new project soon because I want to continue watching them and of course Klaroline deserve better.

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

I was 11 when The Vampire Diaries started, now I’m 20 and The Originals is ending.

This universe has been part of my throughout my entire 5 years of Secondary School, the 2 years of Sixth Form College and my first 2 years of University. I’ve grown up a lot. I’ve gone through a lot with TVD/TO. From being Team Stefan and Stelena to loving Klaus, The Original family and falling in love with Klaroline.

Klaroline means the world to me because it helped me out during a tough period in my life where my ‘friends’ were alienating me and I felt alone at home, like I had nowhere to go. Hating free time over lessons. Klaroline were my escapism because I fell in love with this ship, Jodice’s insane, electric chemistry.

I weathered the shitstorm that is the TVD/TO fandom because let’s face it, it can be as toxic as fuck. I weathered ship wars, bad storylines, offensive storylines, writers being assholes.

As for real life, Klaroline helped me to stop going back to self-harming, Klaus and The Original family helped me stop going back to self-harming. I may of had my issues with TVD and TO in the latter end of the series (and majority of TO) but going back to the characters good phases, where they were great, fun to watch, but it did truly help me. The talented FanFic writers from the Klaroline fandom also helped me with the dark times in my life where I needed to escape and not think about real life (It does not do me favours if I do).

Anyway, the point is, this universe has been part of my tween/teen/young adult years and it has been a tough war. It’s time for me to move on, I’ve grown up and therefore I have no intention of watching Legacies when it airs. For starters, Alaric isn’t a draw for me, nor is Hope. I’ve notice many only want it if certain TVD/TO characters appear or certain kids of a recently turned Human couple...

But I acknowledge that this is likely aimed for the next generation, those tweens and teens who have recently discovered TVD and TO through Netflix and reruns. I am no longer their audience and I don’t want to be the creepy great Aunt sitting in the background.

Plus, I don’t think Julie has a co-showrunner to rein her in like she had with Kevin in the early TVD seasons and the lovely Jeff Lieber in the final season of TO, so I don’t have high hopes anyway and I wouldn’t put it past her to make Hope and Alaric a couple after she did Calaric and got Caroline non-consensually pregnant.

Anyway, this is not meant to start ship wars. But if anyone is not planning to watch Legacies, feel free to reblog this with your own story with what TVD/TO has done for you and why you are quitting or make it a separate post. Just want to hear your thoughts.

Anyone that wants to watch 512 of The Originals live and don’t live in the US or Canada, here is the livestream that I’ve been using throughout this season that hasn’t failed me so far. 

HERE

Good if you want to experience Klaroline goodness live or see the seeds for the dreaded Legacies be planted or finally experience some (hopefully) quality Uncle Elijah scenes.

I saw a Delena shipper on Twitter say that Klaroline won’t happen because Caroline’s husband just died and Cami just died...

Well...Spoiler Alert: Cami has been dead for 13 years and Stefan for 8-9 years. Perfectly valid, respectable time for Caroline and Klaus to move on from their respective few days/few months relationships.

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

So Jeff Lieber followed me on Twitter...

All I did was ask if he had anything lined up after The Originals.

And that he’s seems like a nice, chill person.

I wasn’t expecting that follow, now I feel like I have to tidy my tweets.

FYI, this is what he said:

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

Klayley Stans are funny, they bitch and complain to the writers about watching 4 seasons for Klaus and Hayley to be endgame yet the writers said that it wouldn’t happen.

When TO started they said nothing romantic would happen between Klaus and Hayley. Joseph said it, Phoebe said it. When asked all they do is stress how important Hope is for them both and how they need to get on for her sake.

They never said at the beginning that Klayley could happen, they were definitive it wouldn’t at the beginning. Only as the show went on they were less harsh because Klamille was a flop ship and they needed to bait fans since they alienated most of their fanbase by starting a mob at fans that criticise the show or telling them not to watch. Or making the show about the Originals not about the Originals.

The show lost its fans rapidly after Rebekah left and the awful second season. Shipping was all they had left.

At least with Klaroline, we have a genuine reason to complain since they blantantly baited us. We were told that a Klaroline reunion is possible, that the story wasn’t over. Then once the show was a “success” and they got picked up for the season, they were quick to drop us like a hot potato. Then Claire left, the ratings dropped and they kept alienating their viewers targeting the Klaroline fans, the ones that have loved the Mikaelsons since Day 1 as well as Klaroline.

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

Okay, so I saw this post on my mobile in the Klaroline Tag - since mobile is fucked up and I just had to comment.

Calling her a sellout for doing her job!? Really? Yes, she didn’t have to agree to do a couple of episodes of The Originals but she did and it had nothing to do with ships. No actor refuses work because of a ship. They have legitimate and valid reasons. She took the job because:

A) Acting is her job. B) She loves Julie, she gave her, her break. C) She presumably loves certain cast members there - we know she’s good friends with Phoebe and Joseph. She always talks about how she misses working with Joseph and wants to work with him again. D) It’s for the fans! She always talks about at cons how great the fans are, she owes a lot to them.

But as I said, it’s not like taking the job compromises her “morals” because she’s going to be hanging out with a murderer…Newsflash: They are all murderers, her dear husband was one and killed children!

Also, even if she was a fake and sellout, what do you suspect? She was happy with The Vampire Diaries’ treatment of rape regarding Daroline and didn’t have any issues with Caroline becoming family with her rapist and not getting justice for her rape. And let’s not forget her mother being bffs with her rapist.

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

Me, whenever I’m on Tumblr lately:

I wonder what Hillary’s Anon is saying about The Originals in her live anoning of watching it for the first time.

Because it’s a mixture of entertainment, a treat and spilling the tea.

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

mahan734 replied to your post: “Remember that Twitter spat I had yesterday, the one where...”

I watched TO only for Joseph’s and later Yusuf’s amazing performance. It’s not my fault that the story was AWFUL, the characters had zero development and my favorite character aka THE REAL ORIGINALS

Were written off!

If some people only watch season 5 for Klaroline, it absolutely and completely OKAY! It means the only worthy thing for them is their ship. If they want to blame someone, they should go after the writers, the people who ruined TO’s potential, wrote an awful story and told fan “don’t watch it, if you don’t like it”

Fair point. The show was sold to fans as being a show about The Originals. Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah - while we all were hoping for Kol to return and more Originals to appear like Finn, Esther and Henrik.

Many were under the assumption that the main plot was the Supernatural power play politics of New Orleans between Klaus and Marcel, between the Vampire, Werewolf and Human factions, while the baby plot was secondary. But they resolves the Klaus and Marcel stuff by 113 and the ratings dropped when Claire left in 116 and the focus shifted to the baby plot. Then they sent Hope away for her safety and many thought that was there way to keep the show dark, about The Originals and give it that mafia, powerful, supernatural crime family vibe that I thought they teased at the beginning. But I dropped out in S2 when they had the Faux Originals instead of getting the actual actors - and then they killed Ansel for no reason, robbing Klaus of a werewolf storyline, exploring his lineage which Klaus was obsessed with in TVD, he’s drive was to unlock his wolf side and yet in TO, he barely uses it.

Not to mention, they sent Hope away because of the danger she is in, yet bring her back even though the danger had not gone away. It made not only the S1 finale pointless but also the first half of S2. Actually the whole of S2 was a bit of a drag. I had to take a break from it as well as S6 of TVD because that was bad as well.

I would report that Twitter person. It’s disrespectful to Candice, Joseph & Leah. If she’s a feminist as she claims she wouldn’t want someone like this bashing another woman in her name. Plus I think anyone who talks about another’s kid is fucking fighting words. I would do it but I don’t have Twitter

Yeah, I don’t think it makes much a difference but I have reported them. They haven’t been tagging the actors and writers so it is hard to report them and for it to be effective. But I decided to report when they were saying stuff about Candice being a whore and Carina sucking Jeff’s balls and Julie and Carina loving Michael’s dick.

I’m not dismissing what they are saying about Florence but at the time it was only one tweet that was really terrible and Twitter are awful with taking action against trolls and they would want more than one tweet.

It’s funny the people that are interacting with them and seemingly believing them. They aren’t even good at leaking spoilers. I‘d trust someone who is unbiased in their leaks. I mean the ones on Tumblr like Steph, they have their own ships, their own preference. Steph is Pro-Klaroline doesn’t mean that when she reveals what she can that she shits on other ships or insults the cast. If an Anon wants to ask about Klayley or Klamille she will respectfully answer. As long as you’re polite, she will be polite.

This person is trolling, not only Klaroline, Halijah and Klayley but also Klamille. The Klamille stans that believe this person will be upset when their claims does not happen (I’m not saying Klaus won‘t die and “reunite“ with Cami, I don’t know how it ends - but I’m 100% sure that there won’t be an “Afterlife Wedding“ I think we can all agree that sounds stupid, even for Julie’s standards). And this troll is just causing drama for attention with the other fandoms. The only tweets that are really gaining traction are the ones that aren’t even “spoilers“ they are the ones making insulting statements about Joseph, Candice, Carina, Julie and Jeff and make ludicrous tweets about Joseph hating women and trying to get them fired since Phoebe “rejected” him.

Jerry Jacks was a brilliant villain in General Hospital, he was basically like Mikael but human and better. He was crazy, all about mind games and bad (with a bit of a purpose).

Meanwhile Mikael was a great villain in The Vampire Diaries and had a purpose, but lost it all in The Originals with this scene:

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

Antis are dum-dums.

The Antis are so dumb if they think that The Christian Post is a reliable source for all The Vampire Diaries and The Originals news. They were the ones that said that Nina would be in The Originals Season 5 based on an article from 2014. 

This argument that Klaroline will be platonic because she’s wearing her wedding ring around her neck is stupid considering Hayley did that and she fucked Elijah. 

So excuse me, why my OTP is the true married couple (they are acting like it in this gif right here, more than your faves ever could). and let me continue having a nice, long bath in your salty tears.

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

Hold on a sec, Daddy Mikaelson was in General Hospital!?

[thenerdyunhealthybrit]

I just can’t anymore, I was on a forum discussing the worst relationship and I said that I think Daroline is the worst relationship when Daroline exists and someone answered me: The key word is “think” that’s your opinion not everyone else’s. I just had to reply, because are you seriously telling me that Daroline in which Damon raped, physically abused, sexually abused, emotionally abuse and compelled (which automatically makes it psychological abuse in my books) not the worst ship or not worst than Klaroline?  I’m not disregarding people’s opinion, but I’m just wondering if they remember or even considered Daroline and his treatment of Caroline in S1. I get it that not everyone ships Klaroline, not everyone ships the same ship. But to say Klaroline is the worst ship when Damon violated her, then Caroline never got justice for what he did! Her friends did nothing and she is now related to her rapist through Stefan who did nothing to stop it.
