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?

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

#21 Ginny and Georgia

Plot: Georgia is a young mother with a dark, secret past who moves into a small town in Massachusetts with her two children; Virginia "Ginny" aged 15 and Austin aged 9. She's looking forward to finally settling down and escaping her past. But keeping dark secrets is not as easy as it seems, and finally things are starting to catch up on her. And that includes her children finding what they were never supposed to know.

Years: 2021-

Seasons: 2 (renewed for season 3 and 4 with season 3 arriving in 2024)

My story: I ended up watching Ginny and Georgia because some people promoted it as "A version of Gilmore Girls". I realized shortly into watching that it was not really true, the only things they have in common are a young mother and a small town. But the story in Ginny and Georgia is much darker and deeper. I also realized that I really liked that, and I really like the deeper and more diverse story of the teenagers' life that is portrayed in Ginny and Georgia.

Teachable moments: Georgia have done some truly terrible things in her life, but somehow we tend not to judge her. It's an interesting thought-experiment with yourself to reflect on why. Why do we feel that it's moraly ok?

Best character: This is a really hard one, because all the characters are complex and interesting in their own way. Someone I really look forward to getting to know better is Joe, the kind and timid café owner who is very much in love with Georgia. They also have a past, which they are fully aware of but don't talk about. I think there's so many more layers to peel of there.

Best episode: "Hark! Darkness Descends!" (S2E8). A lot is going on and going down in this episode and it's done in an amazing way. But I love this episode particulary because of Marcus's mental health story and how they show depression in a way that I've never seen before.

Best quote: "There are two things you can get from sex with a man, passion or power. But you better make sure you’re gettin something. Otherwise you’re just getting screwed." (Georgia)

Fun fact: Raymond Ablack, who plays Joe, and Rebecca Ablack, who plays Marcus's friend and former friend with benefits, Padma, are siblings in real life.

If you like this you might also like: Queen Charlotte, Gossip Girl, XO Kitty and Gilmore Girls.

#23 XO Kitty

Plot: Kitty have been in a long distance relationship with Dae for a while when she´s finally accepted into KISS, his boarding school in Seoul, Korea. After she convinced her father and stepmother to let her go she's on her way to surprise Dae. But things don't turn out the way she imagined, turns out there are things Dae haven't told her, her roomate is horrible and the school is not what she expected. To complicate things further, Dae might not be the only one who wants to catch her attention. On top of that, she's starting to find out things about her departed mother, who used to attend the school.

Years: 2023-

Seasons: 1 (renewed for a season 2)

My story: I came into this series from sort of a strange angle, since I haven't seen the To all the boys-films (where Kitty originates from) yet. When it poped up in my suggestions-list at Netflix I thought the idea of a young person moving to a land far away for love sounded thrilling, so I started to watch it. I like the characters and their backstories and I look forward to knowing more about all of them in the next season(s?). I often wish I was as bold as Kitty.

Teachable moments: Kitty's quite impulsive and emotionally driven, it's sometimes her strength but maybe even more it complicates things for her. Is it worth it? Probably.

Best character: Yuri's caught between a rock and a hard place, in life in general but with love in particular. Her frustration about her loved one being taken away from her is heartbreaking and shows us how queer love is still not fully accepted. I love how her realtionship with Kitty develops from frenemies to BFF's, and if you ask Kitty - something more. Her standing up against her parents and following her heart is inspiring.

Best episode: "TIL" (S1E7). It's intriguing, exciting and gut wrenching when Kitty and Yuri tries to unravel secrets. But are they ready to deal with the truth?

Best quote: "Did I just let my youngest daughter go to Korea to have sex with her boyfriend?" (Dan Covey, Kitty's father)

Fun fact: Same as her character, actor Anna Cathcart who plays Kitty, was moving away from home for the first time when she was in Korea filming XO Kitty. According to herself, it helped her in her role as Kitty.
