listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.

Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.

writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.

so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.

she's the reason Claudia exists.

she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.

Seeing Nov 5th trending five goddamn days before the day itself is the Tumblr equivalent of hearing Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas come on at the grocery store at 12am sharp on November 1st

Ok but like, imagine if Grimm tried to turn back time on legacy day to stop Raven from refusing to sign, only for another student to end up rebelling each time.  On the first time loop, He rewinds to an hour before legacy day and has the main snow white characters move to the back of the line with an excuse of saving the best for last or something of the sort. He assumes that since she’s a teen and everyone else will sign before her Raven will give into peer pressure and sign without a scene. But then halfway through Hunter, who wasn’t moved because he plays a more prevalent role in the red riding hood story, slams the Storybook of Legends shut and declares his unwillingness to live a life of violence and to live without the love of his life, thus causing the daughter of Cinderella who just signed the book to fling herself into his arms. Unexpected, but Grimm rationalizes that if he just moves Hunter to the back as well then it’ll all be fixed. Highschool relationships tend to be short, and legacy is more important after all. So on the second loop he moves all the snow white characters to the back, and sits in the crowd with the tension finally leaving his shoulders now that the main problem has been diffused. Except it hasn’t been diffused, because Briar Beauty watches her story play out in the book and in a fit of hysterics rips the binding in half once she sees a reflection of future self in the mirror, with tired eyes wearing clothes a century behind the time reminding her violently of her mother. And it just keeps happening. On one run through Cerise Hood tears her cloak off and reveals her true heritage as a wolf, causing pandemonium on the crowds. On another Darling Charming somehow takes a sword out of her long skirt, and severs her page from the book, declaring she refuses to be a damsel anymore. On one incredibly harrowing timeline everything was going fine until Kitty Cheshire refused to sign, giving him a nonchalant shrug and a taunt of “better rewind again” while her ever present smile haunted him. It gets to the point where he rewinds to a month prior to legacy day, spending that month keeping Ashlynn and Hunter away from each other, Bribing Kitty, separating Cerise and Ravens class schedule so that their friendship can’t form and pushing Darling to take on a damsels in distressing honors project with Apple in hopes his top student will rub off on her. In the end his efforts are fruitless however because somehow Apple is the one to rebel, apparently having fallen in love with Darling sometime in that month. just, the chaos if it all.

Almost a Year

It has been almost a full year now since the betrayal started. Assuming that there wasn’t some other more secret betrayal that even now I am not privy to. Yet despite that and despite every other feeling I have, I still feel like this shouldn’t be happening. Not a night goes by where I don’t think about how even now this all still feels like some kind of dream. 

This of course means it has almost been a year since my world shattered. Which means it has been about 9 months since that day I almost killed myself in a hotel room in Louisiana. there have been other times I stood at the precipice since then, but that was probably when I was most likely to actually do it. Not a day has gone by where I don’t think maybe I should have back when I had the nerve. 

Which means it has been about 6 months since you confirmed I meant almost nothing to you and blamed me for all the faults you projected rather than dealing with in yourself. 6 months since I knew logically that you would never actually be sorry, that I would never get the apology, and that you would rather us both be dead in the ground than work things out. But not a night passes where I don’t hope that you would call me up saying you have changed your mind. 

Which brings us to now. It has been something like a month since our last contact. Probably the last one we will ever have. One in which you enacted your final cruelty by making sure to show me just how little you appreciated everything I ever did and how easily replaceable you considered me. Which is what led my anger to finally win out over my love. Not a night goes by where I don’t wish you and all the terrible people you choose to associate with over me would die horrible deaths. 

Yet even with my wishing that, not a night goes by that I don’t wish I didn’t have that hate. Because now I know that if you ever did try to make it up, it would consume me and I would kill my last chance at happiness just to get a modicum of justice for what you did. But part of me still hopes that you will make the call. That maybe, just maybe, when I hear your voice the hate might finally dissipate and this nightmare I am living can finally end. But it won’t happen. Because not a single night has gone by where you have even considered it.

why does life keep forcing kristen to see herself die again (cassandra) and again (buddy dawn) and again (K2) why must she watch reflections of herself shatter before her and why does it always fall on her shoulders to bring them back, is it life telling her that she must fix something withtin herself to truly move on? is it life telling her that she will forever be broken? what does life gain from breaking down this little child, not only in death but also in living reflection, why show her nara, happy and flourishing and loved by her ex lover, "she is you with money" nara who is reliable and dependable and put together. why show her bucky? small and fragile and alone after she left him because she had to? bucky, her own flesh and blood the closest of the reflections to her, standing exactly where she stood a few years ago..why

and i know in my heart she will never talk about this and i know it will never be said or mentioned by anyone but i often just sit there and think about her little tortured soul and wonder why is life so adamant about beating her down.
