#verse: human Katherine

[malka-lisitsa]

"Door dash got my order wrong and I need to know if hiring an assassin is 'over reacting'."

[malka-lisitsa]

The doppelganger couldn't help but laugh at the comment.

"Wont end your suffering but it certainly will end mine."

She is of course referring to having to suffer this conversation and all of its obnoxious reasons to doubt she'll get what she wants again.

It's already hard enough struggling between wanting to be happy more than anything else, while also feeling like youre a monster that doesn't deserve it... but all she wants in the whole world..

Its not money. It's not power. Katherine just wants love.

           amara’s eyebrows furrowed together and her mouth opened, unable to believe katherine didn’t take her seriously. did she actually hear what she was saying? it made amara doubt whether she could communicate understandably, what if she imagined everything? she turned her eyes away from katherine and looked around in the dim basement room, where no one else was, at least not visible. but there were other voices, quieter ones, a whisper that blended into a constant tone in the background. a clear difference to the clear words that left her mirror-self.

          nevertheless, it unsettled her and this uncertainty was now reflected in her facial features. what if she was talking to herself? of course, her reflection would not act for her own good, after all, she was not actually there...

          her gaze returned to her doppelganger, holding a strange thing in her hands. amara didn’t know what it was for, but it didn’t really matter if she only imagined everything anyway.

          "go ahead, maybe this will end my suffering..." amara’s thoughts turned, her gaze fixed on this thing.

Starter for @mlfns (Elijah)

She had heard he was back in town. Katherine didn't know why. He left in such an URGENT hurry she thought he'd be FAR too BUSY to ever care about her little corner of the world again. And YET.

"Quick turn around for someone so eager to leave." Not the most civil start, but it's Katherine, and Elijah has to be accustomed to that by now...

"Did Klaus send you on a grocery run back to Mystic falls? Or are you here to see someone special." She might be... a little drunk actually, so this will be fun.

Since Elijah's departure Katherine had been seething in the abandonment, the betrayal, the hurt, and the anger. You finally tell a guy that you want to start finding the girl he is so certain you still are and he runs off with his psycho brother and leaves you standing at the alter. Awesome.

"Do you want a drink, because I need another one." It has to be true, that she's human. Look at her. Perfect hair a mess, her nails are chipping, and her tolerance is shit. Rebekah's gossip hadn't been false. Katherine Pierce was human again.

[mikaels0n-elijah-writing]

closed starter for @safestkittykatintown

He had heard rumours. Which he urgently needed to investigate. He had to see it with his own eyes and believe it, otherwise it was impossible. The cure. Katherine was supposed to have taken it? Voluntarily? Involuntarily? He wasn't sure. He rather fancied the latter.

Elijah picked up more rumours about where she was living now. He looked for her. He knew others would be looking for her too, to get the antidote out of her bloodstream. Hadn't he once offered it to his sister himself? When he arrived at the place where she was supposed to live, he hesitated for a moment. What awaited him?

But then he opened the door. He tried to take a step inside, but she obviously owned the flat. So he knocked on the frame, even though she had certainly heard that he was here.

"Katerina?"

[malka-lisitsa]

"..... Then compel him after we drain the vervain from his system. You really are small brain for survival aren't you? We have to compel the information out of him anyway- might as well make him more.... cooperative in general for us."

well, when she put it like that.

"listen, I just don't want whatever WE do, to come back around and bite ME on the butt later on. I still have to go here for another two years. I don't need an even bigger target on my back"

[barren-heart]

We already know the ending of What We Do In The Shadows the show. The movie told us.

Spoilers from both the movie (2014) and the show (2024)

I think it’s obvious when Taika and Jemaine set out to make an American version of their vampire comedy, they weaved a lot of the same storylines into the show. We have vampire roommates, werewolves (not swearwolves) , familiars, an ancient vampire, vampire hypnosis, and a camera crew.

All the same ideas exist from movie to show, just presented differently.

Guillermo, the familiar turned vampire hunter turned bodyguard turned vampire turned back to human, is a combination of the movie’s familiar and vampire Hunter roles. I believe he’s also the love interest, Katherine.

I think the show, while becoming it’s own thing entirely, has a deep connection to the movie. I think they’ve been trying to follow viago’s love interest storyline since the show switched hands from Taika and Jemaine to Paul Simms.

While probably not known to most, Paul was instrumental in bringing the show over to the States, having helped to fund it.

He was already in the world of Shadows, and while I haven’t agreed on the way he’s said things and some direction the show had taken (season 4 had some growing pains), I do believe he’s understood the heart of the show.

Which is why I think they took such a dramatic shift in season 4 to tell and show the audience that Nandor doesn’t want to just date, but to really have a life or afterlife partner. That season had two “coming outs”. Guillermo obviously coming out as gay, and Nandor coming out as pansexual before he was turned.

I think this distinction was really important to build their romantic dynamic. They wanted to show Nandor’s interest in Guillermo wasn’t attributed to just horny vampireness, but actual true love and affection for him.

And having Guillermo formally come out as gay was more than just the Freddie gag (or the purpose of Guillermo having a boyfriend so that Nandor sleeps with him causing Guillermo to get upset about it which encourages Guillermo to take vampire turning into his own hands, leading to the events in season 5), but to show the audience that Guillermo’s not just a hero worshipper of his boss. He could very well have a crush that could become something more.

And while Simms’ execution of Nandermo so far has not been executed perfectly, (mostly because I think his version of Shadows uses jokes to cover or masque serious moments whereas Jemaine’s comedy often highlights and exposes the truth about life in funny situations), I think Paul’s vision is headed in the right direction.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Guillermo has a far larger familiar role than the one in the movie. Storytelling wise, it’s expected that Guillermo’s ending will solve the lingering vampire question that was halfway resolved in season 5. Because the show is telling the audience, “Wait. There’s more.” There’s more change to be had. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that a part of Nandor’s arc is finding love. And part of his ending will have to be resolving this, as well.

And funny enough, Viago’s ending resolves both of these issues. He finds love with Katherine again and turns her into a vampire, but she got to have a full life first. There’s comedy there (he’s still older than her even though they don’t look it) but also there’s heart. She got to have a full life and agency of her own instead of being robbed of it.

I think Paul wants to set up this ending because it’s funny but also, to highlight his appreciation to the original. We expected from the jump that Nandor would turn Guillermo eventually and we can’t just have that without growth and change and conflict in between. It’s nice to get everything we want, but that’s not what sitcoms do. Sitcoms subvert expectations, and Paul is highly versed in sitcom structure. (Something that I think even Jemaine and Taika had to learn. )

Paul Simms’ isn’t just a writer in the room, he is a writer familiar (haha insert lame reference joke here) with the source material in a sitcom format. The movie wasn’t a sitcom. They could resolve Viago’s relationship because movies resolve arcs at the end of the movie.

Sitcoms don’t resolve anything at the end of an episode or even the end of a season. They resolve them at the end of the show. He knows Nandermo would end the show, because when characters get what they want (whatever their aspirations are) it completes the narrative. In sitcoms, the characters wants drive the purpose of the show.

And all good sitcoms don’t immediately give you (the audience) what you want until the end. And yes it can be frustrating, but when done right, the payoff is worth it. When the arcs are finished, the story ends. Even in sitcoms and comedy shows. So, Guillermo and Nandor being together and Nandor even eventually turning Guillermo, would have to be arc finishers. That would end the show. Which is why I think s6 is ending here, because the lead (Nandor) finished his arc.

Now whether that means Nandor will turn Guillermo on screen or not is yet to be seen. Maybe at some point down the road when Guillermo’s family is much older or have moved on from this earth and maybe when there is a new way to be a vampire without blood, Guillermo will be ready.

CHARLI XCX FT. LORDE - "THE GIRL, SO CONFUSING VERSION"

We opened July by giving you a Charli remix; we now close July by giving you a Charli remix. Let's work it out in the blurbs, then see you next month!

[7.62]

Julian Axelrod: The girls are fighting. The girls have always been fighting. Sometimes with each other, sometimes with their labels, usually with themselves. But even in a year dominated by petty beef, the girls are rarely fighting on record. Leave it to Charli to realize pop music is all wrestling and execute a perfect reverse heel turn. The week BRAT dropped, pulling back the coke-stained rug to reveal a trap door of professional insecurity, fans and critics clung to "Girl, so confusing" as the last vestige of the carefree club romp we were promised, spawning a million think pieces about which curly-haired brunette started the beef. Bringing Lorde into the mix one week later was at once an escalation and denouement, negating the feud narrative and digging down to the real emotions buried beneath its glossy sheen. Charli resents Lorde's success, her flakiness, and her critical acclaim. Lorde sees Charli as a 365 party girl too cool to acknowledge her, let alone invite her to collab. It's all so insular and meta and self-obsessed and earnest and honest and real, to the point where it's almost too intimate to witness. But it's a testament to Charli and Lorde that the whole thing doesn't topple under its own weight, and hearing them write to each other's style makes you realize they have more in common than just hair. The girls are talking. The girls are collaborating. The girls are working it out on the remix. [9]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Iconic! Culture-changing! This could have been a podcast! [5]

Andrew Karpan: Upon release, it was funny to hear the speculation that this record was about Lorde, in that way that it is always funny to know something that feels intimate and real about a roving symbol of pop phenomenology. At any rate, it was satisfying to hear that we were right. Turning this from subtext to text feels like a decisively modern gesture, a living and breathing genius dot com annotation, something one could easily confuse for Taylor Swift’s 1989 rollout or any other kind of “this phony fake friends fake girl power shit” -- but I’m less inclined to be cynical, even in the meme economy of it all. The fiction of these two people with their relatable problems is played so straight that I practically cried at the end. She rides for Charli! Charli rides for her! Hang it in the Louvre, but down in the back.  [8]

TA Inskeep: I've traditionally not been a fan of Charli XCX, for various reasons not worth getting into here. That's relevant because I am thoroughly knocked the fuck out by the next-level-meta "girl talk" dialogue of this meeting-of-the-minds remix. Lorde responds to Charli's verse with a lacerating one of her own, spilling her guts and getting very real; talk about "work[ing] it out on the remix," goddamn. Charli, of course, is expert at riding producer A.G. Cook's hyperpop rhythms, but to hear Lorde matching her as the track heaves and bumps is a shock. This is profoundly soul-baring pop, what with Lorde candidly talking about eating disorders and Charli admitting on her opening verse "I don't know if you like me / Sometimes I think you might hate me." That they're doing this so publicly is frankly stunning. This feels like -- this is -- a true pop moment. [10]

Alfred Soto: They're having fun, and for once one of these interrogations sounds lived-in. The beats pop harder. Listening to Lorde and Charli ribbit around the cheerful electro-frogs is a visceral pleasure. Few of the problems they describe code as "girl," though, so I'll be the spoilsport. [7]

Katherine St. Asaph: The original "Girl" had three problems, none of which got worked out on the remix. Problem the first: As with hot girl walks and girl math, this stuff is not especially girl-coded. Social anxiety and fake friendships are the human condition! Problem the second: I know it's a fandom joke, so apologies for bringing reality into your memes, but it must be said that basically no one is out here seriously comparing Charli XCX to Lorde, at least that I recall. I did a quick search to prove that I hadn't gaslit myself for a decade, and all I could find was this interview; which was almost definitely a bit; this anecdote about a taxi driver, which is mostly telling about the tastes of taxi drivers; and this Vox piece, which is... not good (or if you want to be charitable, maybe also a bit). In a music world where half the girls are regularly compared to half the other girls, that's an honestly impressive display of how much something hasn't happened. I know that none of us are privy to the actual lived history of Charli and Lorde's friendship, and I can certainly admire Charli stoking a grudge for 10+ years. But the emotional stakes just don't feel as dramatic as they've been hyped to, and thus the Internet inside my heart remains unbroken. Problem the third: There's also a song beneath the parasocial moment-making, and it sounds like "Take My Hand" but not as fun. [6]

Will Adams: Will I be sent to the gallows if I admit that this pairing had about the same emotional impact on me as when Taylor and Katy reunited in the "You Need To Calm Down" video? [6]

Hannah Jocelyn: I got thrown into the fire when it comes to female friendship, and honestly I still don't get it. There are entire movies about how nobody gets it, men just assuming women disappear into each other without a man to anchor them. I feel like cis women have the same bafflement, and they've been women for longer than I have. The questions are the same: do you like me? What do you need from me? Do you desire my company? What can I be, and what do I look like from this particular angle? Am I the one you tell your fears to? Do we have the same hair? Do you want to be me? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is in the tracklist right after the SOPHIE tribute of “So I”; it’s the same push-pull dynamic, the fascination and the fear of getting too close. Lorde’s devastating verse reveals the insecurities underpinning her decade of coolness, but she manages to add another quotable to her pantheon at the same time: “let’s work it out on the remix” is as sweet as “you buy me orange juice” and “down the back, but who cares, it’s the Louvre." I don’t care much about the rivalry (if there really is one) and don't need to, and that lack of care for extraneous knowledge is why I don’t quite love Brat like the rest of the internet. The juxtaposition between electroclash and Real Feelings occasionally feels like a gimmick, but the best songs make the melancholic subtext into text. This one, with its flanged chorus and cyclical chord progression, gets across the angst underneath the blurry JPEGs and silly memes. [8]

Taylor Alatorre: It's unfortunate that the zero-sum economy of the pop remix led to the excising of the song's most crucial lyric: "Think you should come to my party / And put your hands up." Apart from its now-obsolete function as a barely veiled clue, it encapsulates the nervous mixture of resentment and admiration that bleeds through both versions and that is so hard to portray sympathetically, let alone with such an impish wink. Charli, as someone who attended more warehouse raves than I did in the early 2010s, had more of a reason to puzzle over that particular line from "Team," to shake her head and wonder whether this post-twee moralizing was really what the kids were into – "the kids," of course, being those three to four years younger than her. Like, it just seems so childish to be genuinely bothered by the chorus to a Flo Rida hit, doesn't it? And yet Charli XCX still goes by the MSN screen name she had when she was 14. The "girl" in the title is as much an age signifier as it is about gender, and the humanizing awkwardness of the remix is a product of its function as an intermural high school reunion, the kind of event that's "confusing" by necessity even if it goes well, which this one does. Your Pop Class of 2013, 'til infinity. [7]

Jonathan Bradley: In 2011, an eternity ago, Drake offered Kendrick Lamar an entire track on his Take Care album, giving the then up-and-coming Lamar space to talk over his worries about fame and the professional anxieties he felt regarding his more successful host. "React like an infant whenever you're mentioned," Lamar recalled of the Canadian. "He said that he was the same age as myself, and it didn't help cause it made me even more rude and impatient." Having worked it all out on the remix, surely no trouble between the two would ever rise again. So confusing! In 2024, Lorde and Charli XCX connect to puzzle out some feelings, and it works better as an event than a single. Lorde is a savvier writer than Charli and works away at old wounds and insecurities with a sense of intimacy that only appears artless. Unfortunately, the production runs her through filters and bleeps that mold her presence into simply another type of Charli, dispelling the tension created by bringing these two women together. Blame it on Ms. XCX. [5]

Jackie Powell: The beauty of this remix is how it shines a light on how women in pop in 2024 deal with "diss tracks" -- although, to be honest, the remix makes me question whether "Girl, so confusing" really was one in the first place. Diss tracks often don't reveal complex emotions but just function in a universe filled with envy and pettiness, but this remix reveals the chaos that resulted from poor communication, fear, body issues, anxiety and depression. Both Charli and Lorde admit that the confusion of being a girl is a result of comparing your insides to someone else's outsides, a mental exercise that's often destructive but difficult to stop. "It's you and me on the coin/The industry loves to spend" is their acknowledgment of what came across as transparent and icky on Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." Also, Lorde sounds the most compelling she has since 2017's "Melodrama"; while I always prefer less Auto-Tune than more, her talk-singing with audio distortion behind her vocals reminds me why she was so beloved. Her messaging is focused: Lorde at her best. Her vocals are dark: also Lorde at her best. What I find most fascinating here is the choice of words during the final pre-chorus. Charli and Lorde sing that they "ride for each other" after working this out, which sounds more sincere than singing that they now magically love each other. It's not an artificial "love ya," but the more sincere "I see you and I know now what you've been through." I'm actually quite jealous of how seamless this appears. Charli and Lorde are somehow giving me some hope that maybe my own friendship breakups could have been resolved by something like this.  [8]

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: Too many friends, not enough time to keep up. Too much life. Too much work, too many health issues, too much doomscrolling. Too much fun and connection and joy had together, but then rewinding it back, wondering whether everyone else felt the same way. Too much anxiety, becoming paralysis, becoming withdrawal. Too much wondering, "Did people notice I was missing? Should I reach out? Is this made up in my head, and if so, why?" Too many panics, trying to find the exact date of their birthday. Too much energy spent internalizing the loss—or even the potential loss—of friends as my own fault, not enough time spent understanding circumstance and accepting change. (Coincidentally, too much “Bad Friend” on repeat, god bless.) Too much time wasted not reciprocating the love of others, when they easily and excitedly extended the grace that I didn’t extend to myself. Too much adulthood, so confusing. But in this song? Just enough. Just enough sweat, enough mess, enough of the internet going crazy. Just enough payoff for being terminally online. Just enough intrapersonal catharsis, brought by talking it out, and making it clear that you do indeed ride for each other and will always “work it out on the remix.” Just enough tears shed, understanding that others, including the ones I idolize, can feel the way that I sometimes do. Just enough possibility of redemption. Just enough hope for salvation.  [10]

Nortey Dowuona: Two things I learned today. 1. Lorde is still her. 2. We need to re-evaluate Solar Power. [10]

Avoiding my drafts so have a rare open: (mutuals ONLY)

Human Katherine struggle bussing with low serotonin.

"I was promised free food. There is no free food here, this was not worth the effort of leaving the house... the house full of snacks...."

[malka-lisitsa]

"Um, it's not my fault I didn't ask for the cure in any capacity- and I certainly didn't ask to be held hostage or chased by all of mystic falls and friends..."

But she DID crash the car and run off into the night wearing very little.

"I recall a time where I also didn't do vitamins. Seems like it was only yesterday." She let out a long and dramatic sigh. "Oh wait."

She will die angry about this bullshit.

However this 'we' business with Stefan, this she can get used to. While Elena is off making bad choices with the worst boyfriend in the world, Katherine is free to galivant around on Stefan's arm. Maybe this frail human thing had it's upside. One. One upside.

"Oooooo a road trip. If I behave can I get snacks?" Shes always fucking hungry now. Always. Chronic munchies. It's like her body is trying to ingest five hundred years worth of missed food.

"And whose fault was that?" Hers, it was her fault. He certainly wasn't out there chasing her. When she conceded to the fruit part (though suspiciously not the vegetable) he nodded and grinned. He had the perfect plan. Throw that shit in a smoothie and she wouldn't even notice the kale.

"We should probably go to the pharmacy because as you can imagine, I don't really do vitamins." A short stop, and maybe he'll even let her get the gummy fruit kind.

"As for vaccines...we'll have to compel someone because most regular adults don't need them and can't just walk in and ask for them. We know they're all on vervain here so that won't work...we'll have to try a clinic out of town."

And she wouldn't be terribly upset about that because he had said 'we' as in, with the intention of going with her. Because he couldn't just send her out into the world like this. She would die immediately.

[thatslayer]

Always and Forever. That was the promise made, and yet the Mikaelsons have gone their separate ways. Klaus is rumored to have remained in New Orleans, but he so rarely leaves The Abattoir that no one knows for certain. The city thrives under the heavy hand of Marcel Gerard, and all is humming along smoothly until the ground starts to rumble beneath St. Anne's church. A new mouth of hell bubbling up power like a beacon, attracting vampires, demons and the forces of darkness.

Descendants OC Introductions

because I had an idea for a big plot and universe and here we are. This is No One Mourns The Wicked, my Wizard of Oz focused Descendants verse. In this universe, Oz lost contact with the rest of the world years and years ago and by the time Descendants rolls around, is thought to be a genuine fairytale and not true. Until a tornado blows through and brings 10 children to Auradon and the Isle of the Lost

so much of Oz lore is gonna be pulled from various sources and some just made up by me but Wicked (book and musical) is a large part of the inspo, especially for names

and thanks to @randomestfandoms-ocs for helping me go with Descendants

Orion Diggs (Mike Faist FC), Audrey and Chad ship. Son of Oscar Diggs, otherwise known as the Wizard, he is the main reason they were whisked to the Isle and Auradon as Orion artificially created the tornado with the help of Lilliana. He lands in Auradon

Eden Thropp (Brittany O'Grady FC), Jay ship. Daughter of Elphaba Thropp, otherwise known as the Wicked Witch of the West, she is one of the most skilled sorceresses of her age. She lands in the Isle and struggles with the lack of magic.

Nadia Thropp (Logan Browning FC), Uma ship. Daughter of Nessarose Thropp, otherwise known as the Wicked Witch of the East, she has little interest in big magic and is more interested in science. She lands in Auradon and hates being separated from her cousin Eden.

Lilliana Taylor (Maia Mitchell FC), Mal and Evie ship. Daughter of Locasta Taylor, otherwise known as the Good Witch of the North, she is not the strongest sorceress but she is the best at planning, and she loves to plan for herself, which is why she used her powers to help Orion create the tornado. She lands in Auradon

Garrett Upland (Evan Mock FC), Jane and Carlos ship. Son of Glinda Upland, otherwise known as the Good Witch of the South, he is close to Nadia and had the least desire to leave Oz so he's not enjoying being forced out but he's trying to make the best of it. He lands in the Isle

Donovan Gale (Milo Manheim FC), Gil and Harry ship. Son of Dorothy Gale, he always wondered what it was like being around other humans besides Orion, who seems to have the opposite desire. He's relatively lonely aside from Opal and desperate for friends, and lands in the Isle

Bennett Chopper (Jonathan Daviss FC), Faye Tigelaar ship. Son of Boq Chopper, otherwise known as the Tin Man, he is always here for a good time. He always likes to gain interest in people though it doesn't really last and he lands in Auradon

Faye Tigelaar (Katherine Langford FC), Bennett Chopper ship. Daughter of Fiyero Tigelaar, otherwise known as the Scarecrow, she prides herself on her smarts, even being known as a know-it-all which makes it hard for her to connect with others. She lands in the Isle

Landon Lahr (Drew Ray Tanner FC), Lonnie ship. Son of the Cowardly Lion, he proves that he's not like his dad was and is very reckless and unafraid to do absolutely anything. He lands in the Isle and is very excited to roam somewhere new

Opal Baum (Abigail Cowen FC), Ben ship. Daughter of Princess Ozma, she is the rightful future ruler of Oz, a job that she takes seriously. She loves meeting others and finding out what they're like, she's long had a crush on Donovan and lands in Auradon

A slender brow rose at the accusation question, and Katherine answered with a sarcastic tone that more than adequately conveyed the ridiculousness of his inquiry.

"Oh yea Stefan-

I ran for five hundred years all over europe and america, but Italy was the one place I never managed to get to, it's on my bucket list."

She opened her mouth to continue, but a sudden realization gave her pause. Features shifting to contemplation and disappointment, she continued.

"Which I guess actually matters now..."

Had she ever had a real bucket list? No why would she, Shes Katherine Pierce, she evades death like trump evades taxes.

However now she was human, mortal, time mattered.

She had an

E X P I R A T I O N D A T E

What a mood killer, better use it to her advantage.

"I've been alive for five hundred years, and I've done just about everything I've wanted to do, so my bucketlist actually isnt that long you know. Currently? Its only got a single item..."

Katherine's gaze softened, yet some how remained mischevious and playful as her eyes met his.

"Go Italy, for real italian cuisine with Stefan Salvatore."

Katherine was always so aggressive, like they didn't have a history to contend with. Like she could just suggest a trip with him and mean it. The way she looked at him told Stefan that they could walk out the door and get on a plane right now.

The vampire shook his head with a strange little smile, how did you respond to that?

Luckily Stefan was rescued by their waiter, he ordered them wine and his favorite dish. Two of them, not a lady and the tramp situation.

"Don't tell me you've never been?"

#PSA, PORTRAYAL NOTES.

since my canon for klaus is a mix of book and show (and my added creative flair), i'm going to pull all of the thoughts running around in my head here, in this one post for easy access. i will be adding to this as i think of things, and in some cases, there will be more detailed info to come!

my klaus is a haphazard mixture of canon. he is primarily book-based with minor details of show canon and my added creative flair thrown in; he is heavily canon divergent and unaffiliated with the vampire diaries/the originals show canon by default in his main verse. the details below will be the most important points to read and any other information can be given through plotting and character development. as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a message!

i will often refer to the "old ones" as purebloods. they are capable of passing down their vampire genetics through birth, and niklaus was born the product of an affair. his pureblood mother, esther, held a steady affair with a pureblood werewolf, and the result nine months later was klaus.

concerning canon ships: my main love interest for klaus is katerina/katherine (see this post). all other ships need to be plotted due to the canon differences here (and klaus' serious toxicity), but i do ship caroline/klaus as well. hayley/klaus only when it concerns the vampire diaries show canon as i do not acknowledge the legacies canon or the events leading up to it (re: hayley's pregnancy and hope's birth). in his main verse, klaus is childless. — i will have a heavily divergent verse up for the originals/the legacies show canon acknowledging hayley's pregnancy and hope's birth because i don't want to give them up entirely and i do love them, but interactions in this verse will need at least some basic plotting due to canon divergencies here—or at the very least, open communication. i'm super flexible with it, of course, and i will have separate verses for more show canon-aligned threads and aus.

depending on what character i’m writing against, i’ll change some things up or throw you a show canon-esque verse vs my default one! it just depends on what works best for us both and we can plot the details out! if there’s ever a canon divergence point i have strong feelings about or feel is more of a concrete thing for my portrayal, i’ll tell you!

klaus is the one to turn katherine, and she's considered as formidable as he is. as a child she was always sick and when a doctor of human sciences told her she would die soon, her maid sought klaus out because she knew he was in the same village at the same time, and he saw something in her that made him want to turn her... because he certainly didn't do it out of the kindness of his own heart.

as far as klaus' siblings are concerned, i take a lot of inspiration from the originals show canon there. i love them too much to throw them away, and their bonds will stay relatively the same except that they parted ways nearly a millennia ago and they have more long distance type relationships presently, with klaus typically only visiting them if he needs something or he finds he misses them too much *in my default verse. he used to send them postcards and trinkets from his travels (especially elijah, rebekah and freya), and in modern times, he stays in contact consistently over the phone. — when they flee from their father sometime in the first millennia, they stick together for awhile as old ones, traveling and running from mikael, a pureblood vampire turned hunter when he found he couldn't cope with what he was—what his family was. in earlier years, they often pose as royalty, most notably lords and ladies of a wealthy, aristocratic family.

as far as his father is concerned, klaus is unaware of his birth father ansel, who had been a pureblood werewolf. mikael, who esther attempted to pass off as klaus' father, somehow always knew. a lot of this is taken from show canon in the sense that klaus still grew up with a shitty, abusive father who hated him for being different. for being the product of an affair his mother had—solid proof of her infidelity staring him in the face every single day. a lot of these feelings contributed to mikael's eventual breakdown and becoming a hunter. he grew to hate what he was, what his family was, but the hatred for klaus was even stronger. when his children fled after mikael's first attempt at killing them, he trails after them for quite some time until they finally put him down with the aid of klaus' witches.

presently, klaus has sired numerous successful hybrids using the blood of doppelgangers and continues to search for werewolves to turn, although they are often scarcely found. in his main verse, he has a small army of them at his disposal, but the sire bond doesn't exist in these cases unless plotted.

speaking of his army, it doesn't consist of only hybrids. klaus is a master at networking and has cultivated an "army" of those loyal to him, including powerful witches working on his side and in his trusted inner circle. something something slater contacting elijah through a fucking craigslist ad something something. it's the same with klaus. odds are, somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody... knows how to initiate contact with klaus or those in his circle, but it's never direct. "how do i find klaus? you don't find klaus... klaus finds you."

a key point: there is no hybrid curse in klaus’ canon. he comes to fell's church/mystic falls in the early 90s to avenge katherine's death at the hands of elena and her friends. the ending is changed, with klaus never dying—because how are we supposed to believe that humans who just learned of supernaturals like 6 months ago have the power to take him down? no, thanks. they do drive him out of the town, however, and he goes on to remain nomadic, but not before making his mark on the humans of fell's church. — when it comes to interactions with show characters in klaus' main verse, i often take inspiration from the vampire diaries show canon for his antics against elena and her friends and their consequences, however due to canon divergencies here, we might have to have some basic plotting.

continued ...

klaus and his brothers and sisters are the progenitors of the vampire race, but klaus is the sole progenitor of vampire/werewolf hybrids. he is the very first. — as the progenitor of the vampire/werewolf hybrids, klaus is able to create hybrids by feeding a werewolf his blood, snapping their necks or killing them in some way, and then having them drink the blood of a doppelganger or principal guardian descendant, but he can also create them by passing down his genes through genetics, but only with werewolf women capable of bearing children, as vampires are typically unable to change their bodies to accommodate a growing baby. *he could, in theory, have children with other purebloods and pass down his hybrid genetics this way, but if we're including that his family was the original vampires, that'd be gross, you know?

verses available. (full details coming soon, but for now we've got plotting)

the vampire diaries / the originals *canon divergent.

more coming soon.

CANON REWRITE VERSE: KLAUS IS CURED.

this is quite literally based on a dream i had last night, but it's a concept i've wanted to play with for a while. for now all i have are a few bullet points, but once i get the full verse fleshed out, it will be in my doc.

katherine never gives the cure to elijah in S4 of TVD. instead, the both of them hatch a plan to use it on klaus. elijah wants klaus to experience humanity again in a very long winded and roundabout way of getting to klaus's redemption. elijah feels that if klaus is human (as human as he can be), it might lead to actual change in his brother. katherine obviously wants klaus to be human for much more selfish reasons, but it's justified given everything he's done to her.

the plan gets delayed because of hayley getting pregnant. elijah wants to back out because having klaus as a hybrid is more protection for his child, and he believes that the child itself could be klaus's redemption. katherine convinces elijah that as he is, klaus would not be a good parent, but he might be if he were solely a werewolf. her argument is that immortality gives klaus an out, he can always say "i'll fix it later, i have forever" but his kid doesn't have forever; they're going to grow up and he will miss all of it if he puts it off. elijah agrees.

after S2 of the originals is when elijah gives the cure to klaus. with the esther, mikael, and dahlia drama, elijah had put it off again. klaus needed to be able to protect hope to the best of his ability, but after esther and dahlia are killed, elijah puts the cure in a glass of wine and toasts to 'new beginnings' with klaus. klaus passes out and wakes up no longer a vampire.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS:

my headcanon for klaus's physical age is 22. he will begin aging from there.

because i hate the plot point that once the cure is gone from your blood, you age rapidly and die within a few weeks, i'm removing it. i think it would be fun to have silas come after klaus, so to keep tvd canon canon, he can do that, get the cure from klaus's blood, and be on his merry lil sewer side way.

because he is no longer a hybrid, klaus's blood no longer heals werewolf bites for vampires. however, due to this headcanon of mine, there is still some of his hybrid blood to spare for emergencies.

beatrice (or freya in verses where bee doesn't exist) makes a moonlight ring for klaus so he isn't forced to turn on every full moon, and can still shift at will.

because of how ridiculously old klaus is for a werewolf, he is still extremely strong and fast. he is stronger than a normal vampire (he would still be stronger than a vampire katherine's age) but is nowhere near as strong as his siblings are.

obviously, klaus's relationship with elijah becomes extremely strained after he's cured. during S3, he bites elijah in an attempt to fulfill the family part of lucien's prophecy, but regrets it and ends up getting some of his hybrid blood to cure elijah. he still holds a grudge though, and throws it in elijah's face quite often.

klaus can do magic now. he is not good at it, and no one wants to teach him how to be good at it in fear of what he might do with it. however, in verses where she exists -- beatrice begins trying to teach him the basics in secret, and this causes their relationship to get stronger and them to grow closer to each other. elijah finds out about this and is pleased with how well his plan is actually working.

if you'd like to interact with klaus within this verse, feel free to message me!

a few [see: important] notes worth keeping track of, at least until i can put together a more coherent and in - depth post later …

༶ jenna is written primarily as a human. this plays around with the concept of my jenna having become more aware of the events surrounding her than her canon counterpart — more specifically, elena warned her beforehand, resulting in jenna not being lured out by katherine posing as her niece on klaus's command. a random vampire was used in the sacrifice ritual instead.

↳ however, jenna does have a vampire verse, which can be requested! this will be written upon the concept of klaus turning jenna as a punishment to elena upon discovering she is still alive.

༶ vicki is primarily written as a ghost. this will be a heavily divergent exploration that involves esther mikaelson, and later, hope mikaelson. vicki's essence has since been bound to an inanimate object, a tether of sorts : the salavtore crypt, better known as a witch's hot spot. this allows her to operate beyond the customary laws and outside "the other side." however, this has heavy limitations. namely, her ability to appear waxes and wanes, her presence is more potent to those with a personal connection to her, she is intangible and is bound to the town of mystic falls, unable to move beyond its limits, forever stuck in place — this also includes moving on to find peace or return to "the other side."

↳ however, much like jenna, vicki has additional verses : a) human, set in a divergent setting where vicki was never turned by damon. alternatively, this can also simply be set as a prelude in a time before she turned. b) vampire, set in a divergent setting where she was never staked + killed by stefan after losing control. both verses will be available upon request.
