biggg juxtaposition to my previous fat hairy men appreciation posts but
as someone who self harmed for damn near a decade (almost 8 years, if i have my timeline correct) and is still very much in recovery for it, i feel like. idk when you find out your child has been self harming and that the other parent knew, i feel like maybe. you should understand that they were not comfortable coming to you with it. and i think you can be upset that you werent in the loop about everything but i think its a respect of your kids boundaries if the other parent does not tell you. if my mom had told my father that i was self harming it would have done absolutely irreparable damage to our relationship. it would have devastated me. i would never have forgiven her. or maybe i would have but it would take a long, long time to do so.
like. idk . im very clearly not a parent but i am at the age my mom was when i had just been born. at my age, my mom was raising up a 8 month old baby. and my mom self harmed too! and like. im not a parent but i feel like i am old enough and qualified enough (having done it myself) to have a valid opinion on the situation.
everyone in this show is so fucked up though tbh lmao. except austin. and joe, i think. idk. anywayz

listen we can shit on Ginny and Georgia all we want (and by we I mean anyone who wants to but I’m not actually included because I genuinely think the show has a lot more to offer than what people give it credit for) But the absolute masterpiece that is the scene Season 2 Episode 5. Zion and Paul sitting at the bar at Joe’s place (that Georgia forced them to) and poor Joe standing across from them behind the bar.
The most immaculately funny scene i’ve witnessed in a while
Like Paul to Zion: I know you slept with Georgia right before we got engaged
Poor Joe: O_O

Ginny & Georgia 1x01 lb (first time watching)
y'all, I know I am a billion years late, but I'm finally going to watch Ginny & Georgia. I quit after the pilot the first time around because I could not handle the secondhand embarrassment, but I've been promising my friend I will watch it with her for years. so... I think I'm going to do small post episode thoughts, nothing lengthy or super in depth like some of my other shows (generally mystery stuff) because I am watching with someone else and I can't really constantly pause to take notes. so this will be more "general impressions."
**Spoilers for Ginny & Georgia 1x01**
Like I said, I've seen the pilot once before, though it is the only episode of the show I have seen. I also have somehow managed to avoid all spoilers of this show, I think because I blacklisted it when I realized I wouldn't be watching anytime soon, and I don't have a Twitter or a Tiktok. ANYWAY, since this is the pilot, I'm going to do general character impressions and predictions, but in the future I will only do specific characters when something has changed in my feelings/opinion. So this will likely be my longest post for season 1.
Ginny - I honestly came out of this pilot with Ginny as a little bit of a question mark. Initially, she definitely gave off early seasons Rory vibes (it's not like we all don't know the concepts of the shows parallel, though handled quite differently), but by the end of the episode she's made a lot of impulsive, messy decisions, so I'm not totally sure what we're in for with her. She has a kind of interesting balance between sometimes seeming sweet/naive/responsible and blunt/cynical/impulsive. If I had to guess, she's going to lean more into the second set of character traits because that is way more drama.
Georgia - Georgia is at the top of the list of characters with big personalities that I currently enjoy, but do wonder if might grate on me eventually. She's super charming and obviously gorgeous, and I didn't remember that we were actually going to see her backstory (totally forgot about that from the first time I saw the pilot) which I think will be a great service to her character, because it means the viewers have extra insight as to why she does what she does and empathizing with her. Georgia is a wildcard, so I'm strapping my seatbelt on with her.
Max - Max is number 2 on the list of characters with big personalities that was fun in 1x01, but that (with her in particular) I wonder might be a bit much at times. She's definitely a comic relief character, and I fully expect her to have some softer and more vulnerable moments to balance out her character a bit. She feels like another character that will really bring the drama.
Marcus - I could be totally off base here, but I feel like I know exactly where they're going with Marcus. Like he is the character, out of everyone, who I feel like having watched a lot of teen dramas is paying off for, because I feel quite confident that I understand him. He's the "will they, won't they" love interest (I mean, physically, they did, but emotionally not so much) who is going to come off as an "apathetic cynical asshole" for some number of episodes, have a traumatic backstory and softer side he struggles to share, and will eventually become a fan favorite. I really think if I'm right about anything, it's this.
Ellen - Ngl, I thought she was going to be a nemesis for Georgia at first, but that was clearly a wrong first impression and I kind of love her immediately. Idk that she will really get her own arc, but I think she's going to be hilarious.
Joe - I honestly don't quite know what to do with Joe. On the one hand, he so clearly fits into the "slow burn, pining/denial, endgame romance" trope as a character, but it's just.... so on the nose Luke from Gilmore Girls that I almost feel like they actively want to subvert that? I don't know. He definitely does give "endgame" romance vibes.
Paul - I'm also not quite sure what to do with Paul yet. I'm inherently suspicious of him, he feels like a character who could come off quite nice and a little oblivious, but then actually have anger issues or be controlling or something. I'm legitimately unsure if he's going to be a protagonist or an antagonist yet.
Cynthia - Mean girl. This is the nemesis I initially thought Ellen was going to be. Right now I could see her being a two dimensional problem Georgia continuously has to deal with, but I also wouldn't be surprised if she gets fleshed out eventually.
Hunter - Oh, Hunter. Poor, sweet Hunter. If you are not the sacrificial lamb of a first love interest, then I don't know what you are. He screams the "first boyfriend" roadblock to a Ginny and Marcus relationship. But props to the actor because I think he's playing it exactly how they want him to. Like they want Hunter to be the logical choice, but he's also an obstacle so they don't want the audience to get too attached to him, so he is also the most awkward/uncomfortable character ever. It's like, he's so nice, but also he makes me want to die of secondhand embarrassment constantly. Anyway, if I've read the Hunter/Ginny/Marcus love triangle wrong, I will be shocked.
Ginny's Other New Friends - I don't have the names down yet, but most of them are pretty unlikable so far. I assume we'll get more layers to this group as we go.
Austin - He's adorable, but I don't feel like I know anything about him yet, except that he loves Harry Potter, so not much to say here.
Zion - I assume we will see present day Zion at some point, since he seems to be a presence in Ginny's life, but I'm not sure when. For now, very little immediate opinion on him.
Okay, that's all the characters I feel like I need to cover under first impressions. I did remember that Georgia had murdered her husband and why (this is honestly the main thing I remembered from the pilot), so that wasn't a shock. I still struggled with the secondhand embarrassment, but I will power through for the sake of my friendship. lol.
This episode is obviously a lot of set up and I feel like by covering the characters, I've pretty much covered the episode, so I will be back with 1x02 shortly. Future episodes will be more bullet points of the my thoughts/feelings as I watch, and not so detailed per character.

Watching the first season of ginny and Georgia. And honestly I cannot stand ginny so im skipping most of her scenes lmao. Im just hoping season two is better and so is the writing for ginny.
Why do the writers write teenagers like this? It feels like their going extra hard on the stereotypes or maybe their trying to hard to be relatable? Idk but it just makes me skip the scenes

can you write a drew starkey x fem!reader imagine where drew has a crush on the reader and he has for a while, but he doesn't think the reader likes him back until one day he like drunk confesses or just impulsively tells her? <3
A/N : Yes I will try (I’ve never written before) I’m sorry I’m so late on this I’m just so nervous to write stuff 😭😭
I love you..

Drew starky x fem!Reader
Warnings:- drinking,use of y/n , drew being drunk most of the time, some insta posts (tell me if I’m missing anything.)
__________________________________________
having a well-known acting career and appearing in TV series such as Vampire Diaries, Stranger Things, and Ginny and Georgia, I've had my fair share of romantic relationships and crushes on coworkers.
I have had both positive and negative emotions from every person I have dated. Nonetheless I still have a lot of my partners as friends, though.
When I got casted on outerbanks, I was already working on a project which required all of my time in another state in a whole ,leading to me having to decline the role.
After finishing said project , and sulking over not excepting the offer i got a call from my agent telling me that I was getting handed a role,a really good one .No audition needed. As the love interest of a rich playboy (wonder who that is).
———//———//———//———//———//———//—
“What exactly is the show again?…” I asked annoyed that I was being disturbed from my beauty sleep.
“Firstly I never told you aaand secondly it’s for.. outerbanks!”
What.
The show I declined? The show that made me regret doing my previous project instead of it? The show where my college crush- AHEM. right where was I
“Hellooo? You there y/n?..”
“Uhhh yeah sorry. You can call back and say yes”
“I already did. I was just telling you”
“Wow oka-“
——————————————————————-
Originally I believed that when I joined the cast of the outerbanks drew starkey would forget about me, but judging off of the happy smile on his face when he saw me or how his eyes softened when I talked about something I was interested in told me otherwise. I was finally gonna tell him. Tell him I l-
Actually I just shouldn’t go! Yeah. Why face the embarrassment of drew not feeling same! Yeah that’s smar-

“Ok , red or black?” I asked with hesitation on the choices i had just tried on. “Definitely black girl, you look so hot” madisyn replied “maybe match it with some green?” Elaine said “that would look so good” Maddie added with a wink towards Elaine.
“Hey hey what’s up with the winking” I asked panicked “oh you know just Drew’s favourite colour..” madisyn mumbled out. I felt my eye twitching at the three of them I felt the heat rise up to my cheeks
“god you guys” I blushed and ran into the changing room soon hearing the laughter of the 3 girls.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed girlie pop” Elaine teased “easy for you to say your already dating someone ” I whined

As soon as I walked into the venue of the party the only that came to mind was my insecurities. Would Drew ever like someone like me? Someone who isn’t as pretty as his ex’s?
Instead of overthinking maybe I should just drink it away .yeah that sounds goo-
“Y/N!”
God what is with people and interrupting me today?! I turned around and looked around not seeing anyone who seemed to be calling my name
“Over here!” I turned a bit to the right and saw
Drew.
Oh my. No no no. I’m not ready yet I was still in the middle of overthinking.
He came running up to me with the cutest grin on his face “hey.” He said out of breath “hi Drew” I responded while looking down because I could feel the blood rushing up.
“You- uh you look beautiful ” he stuttered out after actually taking a good look at my dress. If I wasn’t blushing earlier I sure am now.
“You don’t look half-bad yourself starkey” I giggled out trying to regain my confidence.
I couldn’t help but notice the small blush spread across his face after hearing my comment. God that’s so embarrassing, why did I even say that.
“DREW MY MAN!” I hear non other than Rudy come up. Rudy was nice , I saw him as my best friend, like a brother, Rudy and I were two pods in a pea, me and him grew up together in Atlanta and only moved apart because of high school, we still often texted and chatted but it never felt the same as being with him in person
“RUDY!” I squealed
“Y/n!” He rushed into my arms and pulled me into his into his tight embrace “oh my god , I missed you so much”
He chuckled “I missed you too n/n” he pulled back “look at you, miss hell on wheels”
“You guys know eachother?” Drew asked “yeah, me and Rudy grew up together” I responded Rudy agreeing with me “oh okay..”
“So um let’s head inside?”
———————————————————————
It was currently 1:25 am and observing how everyone was almost knocked out , except for jd and me obviously, who else was going to take care of them?
“I’ll order a Uber for Rudy and Elaine , you should stay with drew,the girls and me , it’s not a problem” JD offered
“Yeah That’d be great , thank you jd” he nodded
Now , the biggest challenge of all, getting them back to the apartment. Sigh, why am I even here.
“Drew come on , let’s go”
“Ughnnn, no I don’t wanna” he wrapped his arms around my waist and stared into my eyes
“Drew-” he put his head into the crook of my neck. God I can feel his breath. It’s okay , just get him back to the apartment and done
“Y/n Come on let’s go!” JD honked from the car
“Come on drew” I practically dragged him out, but what surprised me that he didn’t let go. “Drew let go”
“Nghhhh” he somehow just cuddled in deeper to me
This is going to be a long night.
———————————————————————
Having to drag this 80kg man down a hallway into a bed is like doing bodybuilding.
“Come on Drew go to bed”
“Don’t leaveeeee” he whined
I sighed out of frustration, “okay cmon big boy let’s go to bed” I stepped into bed and stayed on my side of the bed, not wanting it to be awkward.
He tried wrapping his arms around me “heyyy, come closer”
“Drew what has gotten into you” I mumbled, as he wrapped his arms around my waist and stuffed his head into the crook of my neck like earlier today
“You know drew im so gonna make fun o-”
“Do you and Rudy have something going on” he spoke clearly for the first time that night.
WHAT?!
“What are you on about drew.” He still waited for a response “no!” He sighed like he was holding his breath and leaned back into my shoulder.
“I love you” his voice came muffled but , I knew what he said, if it wasn’t so dark , he would’ve seen how red I’d become just from that one comment
“Drew come on your drunk-”
He lifted his head “I mean it.”
Oh my god. Is the world spinning? I can’t breathe!. Okay , no calm, he’s drunk he doesn’t mean it. Your okay yea-
Suddenly I felt lips on mine, it took me a moment to realise what was happening and I kissed back. no this is wrong, I pulled away
“Drew we can’t do this.. not again”
“Y/n , I know you feel it, please.”
I paused thinking of what to say , hearing him plead with his puppy eyes under the moonlight was intoxicating
“Drew your drunk, I won’t do anything, until I know you mean it”
Drew didn’t respond, he slowly made a Noice of confirmation and understood where I was coming from and put his head back down to its original position.
I knew he wasn’t sleeping but it was peaceful knowing we were just lying there. I felt my eyes get heavy but before I let slumber take me I said
“Hey drew..”
“Hmm”
“Tell me that again tomorrow”
I felt him smile against my neck and muzzle into me more
“Ofcourse”
———————————————————————-
The next morning , i woke up with Drew still having his arms wrapped around me and a particular instagram post that made me actually realised what was happening

Self Harm
Request: Hey I was just watching the new season of ginny and Georgia and I was wondering if you could do one where Jj maybanks daughter has a panic attack and then tells her dad that she’s been burning herself (self harm) and he never knew, he’s glad she told him. And he tells her he’s gonna get her help x
JJ Maybank x daughter!reader
Summary: JJ finds out something heartbreaking about his daughter.
Warnings: heavy mentions of self harm, DON'T READ IF IT COULD TRIGGER YOU
a/n: thank you for the request! sorry it took me forever to get to!
(gif not mine)
Tumblr media
Y/N is doing dishes and lost in her thoughts, flinching a bit when her dad puts a cup in the sink. JJ freezes, frowning at her in concern.
"You all right?" He asks.
"Hmm? Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Just, uh... head in the clouds. Didn't hear you." Y/N says.
"Okay." JJ mumbles, still giving her a concerned look. He massages her scalp for a moment. "Look, uh, I gotta go out of town for a few days. You know, work and all, I'm gonna go take a job a few towns over." He says, walking around the kitchen as he cleans it up. As he busies himself, he fails to notice Y/N freeze or hear her breath hitch.
While he continues to talk about how long he'll be gone, Y/N drowns him out as she feels her palms grow sweaty and her breathing become uneven while her eyes sting with tears. She hates being alone. Her mind never shuts up when she's by herself and forced to drown in her thoughts.
"Y/N?" JJ calls after she doesn't answer his question. He frowns when he notices her tense shoulders. "Baby? Hey." He walks over and puts his hand on her back lightly making her flinch and she drops the glass in her hand, it shattering in the sink.
"Whoa, whoa, hey, okay. Baby, hey." JJ pulls her away from the sink, his worry only increasing when he notices her uneven breaths and the tears streaming down her face. "Baby, look at me. Hey, you're okay."
"Don't-- I don't-- I can't--" Y/N presses one hand to her chest.
"I know, baby girl. You're okay. You're safe." JJ soothes, gently running his hand up and down her arm. Y/N manages to get enough air in her lungs to be able to talk.
"You can't go." She rapidly shakes her head. "You can't-- no. I can't be alone. I don't like being alone."
"Okay. Okay, hey, baby, you're okay. It's okay. I won't go, I'll cancel." JJ says, carefully cradling her head in his hands.
"I'm sorry." Y/N sobs. "I'm so sorry."
"No, no, you don't have to be sorry about it, baby. It's okay." JJ says.
"No, I'm sorry about-- about what I do." Y/N hiccups.
"Do? Wh-what do you mean, do? What do you do?" JJ asks.
Y/N lets out a few more sobs, trying to find the strength to tell him.
"Princess, you can tell me anything, remember? What's going on?" JJ asks, his voice soft and full of concern.
"I..." Y/N hiccups. "I burn myself." She tells him. JJ feels his heart split in half at her words. Y/N eventually manages to look up at her dad's face, breaking into another fit of sobs at the pain in his face.
"I'm sorry." She cries, knocking JJ out of his heartbroken state.
"Oh, hey, no, no, it's okay. C'mere." JJ pulls her into a tight hug. "You're okay. Let it out, baby." He mumbles as she continues to cry, tightly clutching onto his shirt. He kisses her on the head. "You don't have to apologize for anything, baby girl. I got you."
Y/N's knees give out on her and JJ slowly lowers them both to the ground. He manages to get her on his lap and rocks her back and forth like he would when she was a baby.
"I got you. I got you. I'm right here." JJ soothes, stroking her hair. Y/N buries her face in his shoulder, her tears wetting his shirt. JJ ignores the tears welling in his eyes as he forces himself not to cry.
When her cries grow somewhat quieter, JJ decides to speak up aside from the comforting reassurances he's been repeating.
"I never knew, baby." JJ mumbles into her hair. "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I didn't know. I'm really glad you told me, though." He presses another kiss to her head and strokes her hair. "I'm gonna get you help, okay? We're gonna get you help and I'm gonna be there every step of the way."
"Don't go on your work trip. No work trips." Y/N sniffles.
"I'm not going anywhere, sweetheart." JJ assures. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." He promises. JJ glances down and notices her shorts riding up, seeing part of the burn mark on her thigh. A frown sets on his face as he carefully brushes up the short up a bit more to reveal the full burn mark.
Y/N realizes what he did and chokes on a sob. She slightly flinches when a tear lands on her leg, knowing it's not hers. She looks up at her dad and sees the tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry." She cries, feeling even guiltier.
"No. No." JJ sniffs, trying to push his tears back. "It's okay, baby. I got you." He tightens his grip around her, kissing her on the head. "I got you. You're gonna be okay."
After both of them manage to calm down a bit, JJ pushes her away slightly and he cups her face, his thumbs wiping her tears away.
"How about..." He sniffles, trying to contain his own emotions. "How about tonight we build a fort and, uh... and watch whatever movies you want? Or shows. Eat whatever you want? And tomorrow we'll look into therapists and stuff, hmm?"
"Okay." Y/N nods, sniffling.
"Okay." JJ mumbles, kissing her on the forehead. "I love you so, so, so fucking much."
"I love you, too." Y/N whispers, cuddling into him again, JJ's arms wrapping around her.

i might be bias, but outer banks is really not that bad of a show that is meant for teenagers.
outer banks has a lot of its own issues like some inconsistencies in the plot, plot holes, corny dialogue, questionable filming, and some interesting character choices. —which those things might make it seem like the show is horrible. but when compared to some other shows that are meant for teenagers, it is really not that bad.
outer banks shows a lot issues in a way that makes the show progressive. starting with giving their main black lead character a MAJOR arc and plot in season two. which is almost unheard of in shows for teenagers which typically dont use their black characters at all and their only existence is to be the token black character. "oh no! we cant give a major plot and arc to character that isnt a conventionally attractive white man."—is what i imagine a lot of writers of other shows say. (i am not saying pope isnt conventionally attractive. he is a cutie pie! i love pope!!! he is actually my favorite)—compared to supernatural, teen wolf, criminal minds, riverdale, & stranger things
also, the show is not overly sexual. i HATE it when shows are overly sexual; especially when they are about teenagers. like i LOVE outer banks because it is basically just teenagers having fun and treasure hunting with a lot of drama.—compared to euphoria & riverdale
this is a rarity lately, but the writers of the show actually know how teenagers act and talk! what! CRAZY! i mean there is some corny lines in outer banks, but the dialogue is not horrible.—compared to ginny & georgia, riverdale, & mean girls 2
i also really enjoy the show because all of the characters have depth and different family dynamics. pope is actually the only character with good and proactive parents (which also breaks stereotypes). crazy how most shows still actively refuse to break stereotypes when it comes to their poc characters. but not outer banks! their poc characters are not made from stereotypes!
i also like outer banks because i like the take the show has on classism. if you have not noticed, the shows theme is, classism. funny how they portray the rich as bad guys than the poor? again more stereotypes are being broken! the show is like: rich people get away with their crimes and are treated better because they are rich. while poor people are left to suffer and that is not fair!—compared to riverdale
and DONT get me started on how they write their female characters vs the male characters. the only female vs female conflict in the show is between sarah and kie. and they get over that in like three minutes. while the male vs male conflict is never resolved. notice how the men are the overly emotional ones with mood swings? while the females are the ones with level heads and are the more mature ones? sounds like feminism to me! & also sounds like people who know how to write teenage boys & girls!
thank you to the outer banks writers for making a show that is progressive and not using stereotypes when making your characters! us viewers appreciate you!
(i can also make an entire post about the things wrong with outer banks if anyone is interested!)

I know a little bit about how Jay and Nikki find out about the almost-kiss, and it was fun seeing it play out 😆
Guys, gals and nonbinary pals, we have our first falling(/jumping?) off the water tower moment of the series!
"Okay you know what, I've talked myself back into it". Nikki my love!
Leia's Hot Topic interview!!!!! With Mitch. Who is still in love with Donna. 🙄 Very excited to see the rest of that storyline.
Lol why are the guys car-surfing? First it was Nate in the teaser and now Ozzie.
"If we got past me calling her grandma hot, we can make it through anything." 🤣
Ooooh, the girls shoplifting and Gwen being the only one they stop is inch-resting! Very very intrigued by how they handle this storyline. Reminds me of the Ginny & Georgia episode.
Why is Jay like, hugging Donna like that? (And the "Dude!" just sounded like LP to me 🤣)
I do love me some Will Forte
"We have some fun news to share!" LMAO that entire scene already had me dying. This Bob is back, baby!
T-minus 23 days, people. It's happening (again)!

Do you consider that during the period that Hayley was married, Jackson was a stepfather? I don't know, I don't see him like that, in my vision he always tried to turn Hayley against the Mikaelsons, sometimes I see it like that because I'm not a big fan of Jackson when it comes to them, so He was just a man whom Hayley got married to save her daughter
And what do you think it would be like if Hayley, Hope and Elijah had left when she said she wanted to build a life with them? Do you think Elijah would take on a fatherly role? Did I ask, making sense of my doubts?
Tumblr media
To me he was a stepfather but not a father, if that makes sense. Which is funny because people always get mad at him for trying to "take Klaus' place."
I will preface this by saying most of my opinions on this come from the lack of development the writers gave Jackson as well as the fact that the writers didn't want baby Hope, they just wanted teen/adult Hope.
When people get mad at me for how I view Jackson, they usually bring up quotes from the show but struggle to actually point to moments where Jackson is exhibiting those traits. Jackson is a classic mistake in writing of "show don't tell." Instead of showing us that he's a good father to Hope, they tell us and we are supposed to just take the character's word for it. The show essentially left a lot of their relationship up to our imaginations and I just never made headcanons with Jackson so it fell flat. But to me, he cared more about marrying Hayley than being a father to Hope.
Again, part of this is due to the fact that we hardly see anyone in season 3 interact with Hope. I get that it's hard to have a baby on set, but when you launch a whole spinoff around a magical baby, it helps to have a baby. I definitely think Jackson loves Hope, but not necessarily as his own. I feel like he held the Mikaelsons against her a little bit. If he and Hayley would have (could have) had their own kid, they definitely always would have fought over Jackson saying "our kids" versus "your kid." I also think that if Hayley would have been willing to leave Hope with Klaus and start a family with Jackson, I don't think he would have been upset by that. Anything to get away from the Mikaelsons.
I don't blame Jackson for not wanting to associate with the Mikaelsons after Klaus cursed them all. Although, ironically he was the one making side deals with Klaus in season 1 and 2. However, he had no right to give Hayley an ultimatum, especially where Hope is concerned. Of course, if you love someone, you don't want them to be around toxic people. But you don't get to make that decision for anyone else. People have to be allowed to make their own decisions. You can only set boundaries for yourself, and he does. He gives her an ultimatum and when she picks the option he doesn't like, he leaves. This is where I have a hard time with him as a father. It reminds me of Ginny and Georgia (*spoilers*) when Paul finds out the truth about Georgia and he initially leaves but then he can't stay away because he loves the kids so much. It takes him less than 24 hours to decide to help Georgia to protect the kids. (*end of G&G spoilers*) Jackson leaves and doesn't even reach out to Hayley for an entire month while he knows they have enemies in town. Yes, he had every right to do that, but I can't help but hold that against him as a father and husband. Just like I hold Klaus not reaching out to Hayley while he has to stay away with the Hollow against Klaus. We can headcanon that Mary is updating him but again, the show doesn't bother telling us anything.
I personally hate the scene when Jackson walks out. I know he is mad that she went to help the Mikaelsons, but Rebekah was actively kidnapped and drowning at the bottom of the ocean. He then makes her feel guilty because he had to put Hope down and she cried for a long time. A husband/father shouldn't make his wife feel guilty because he had to put the baby down. And, a husband should never make a mother feel guilty that her baby was crying. That detail was unnecessary. Yes, he was mad at her reasoning and mad that he made Thanksgiving dinner and she missed it, but there was other ways to say it. He weaponized Hope against her. It just made him sound like he resented having to play stay-at-home father, but what else was he doing? Neither of them worked.
I also think Jackson had this idealized idea of what his life with 'Andrea' was going to look like and it didn't include a magical child she had with another man. Even when she was living with the bayou, she didn't feel supported by him. She tells Eve that she's on her own with the baby. He does build her a crib but then after she 'looses' the baby, he doesn't even reach out. Compare this to Cami who is in tears, running to Klaus when she heard to see if it was true. Also, compare the reactions to Cami meeting Hope and Jackson meeting her. The writers are also a bit sexist and focused more on building Cami up as a stepmother and didn't focus too much on Jackson as a stepfather.
I don't like to always compare Jackson and Elijah because I don't think it is super helpful to the discussion. We should be able to analyze one without the other. However, since you asked, I do think Elijah plays more a parental figure to Hope. He also has the advantage of being biologically related to Hope. No matter what was going on between him and Hayley, he was always going to be in Hope's life.
Although, I do think that it wouldn't have mattered to Elijah if Hayley had a baby with someone else. I think he still would have taken on a parental role because he loves to be a parent. We know from the past that he was willing to be with Tatia and be a father to her child, so I don't see a difference with Hope.
I don't think Elijah would have ever left town without Klaus to start a life with just Hope and Hayley. The only way he would is if there was no way to protect Hope and Hayley while saving Klaus. Even then, he would go back for Klaus. Elijah was always very careful to not overstep his role with Hope. He knew Klaus' fears and also knew how Klaus tended to behave when he felt insecure. For everyone's sake, Elijah would keep a respectable distance as an uncle. Although, Elijah always just kind of acts as the parental figure of the group, so that wouldn't change too much. I can definitely see him taking on the more strict disciplinarian role while Klaus just spoils Hope.
Thanks for the ask! I hope I answered it all <3
