“why don’t they ever suspect Luke why don’t they realize it’s Luke why are they so quick to suspect Clarisse and not a Hermes kid”

guys, Luke is the perfect child. Thats the whole point! He gave his offerings he said his prayers he went on his quest he proved his loyalty to Chiron, to the gods, to his dad. And he did it all with a smile. They have no reason to suspect luke! Luke is the best of them!

Ares could’ve come to that meeting waving a big sign that said “LUKES THE LIGHTNING THIEF” and they still wouldn’t have believed him.

Because they also don’t want it to be Luke.

They love Luke. Luke takes care of them Luke protects them Luke is everything they want in an older brother. It doesn’t matter how blaringly obvious the writers get about who the real thief is. They will ignore every sign, every red flag, every warning, until Percy is dying of poison deep in the forest and Luke is gone.

Slightly hot take: It was hard to care about Legacies not putting in effort to maintain Hope's relationships with the Mikaelsons when The Originals didn’t put any effort into building them in the first place. Nothing in The Originals alludes to the fact that Hope was close with any of them aside from maybe Freya.

We see her facetiming Kol but we don’t know how often that happened previously and they don’t share any scenes in season 5. Their one scene in season 4 is him using her to get Davina back.

Hope and Rebekah don’t share any scenes in season 5 either. Additionally, there was nothing alluding to them keeping in contact during the time jump. Their only one-on-one scene in season 4 was when Hope was possessed by the hollow.

Hope seemed to have a decent relationship with Marcel, but again, nothing alluding to him staying in close contact with her during the time jump.

A lot of people say that Freya helped Hayley raise Hope, which I don’t understand considering Hope was at a boarding school for 9 months of the year. Yes, it’s likely that she visited Hope on occasion but Alaric probably saw Hope more than Freya or Hayley did.

People complain about Elijah not being mentioned enough in the show when Hope knew him the least out of all her extended family.

Many fans claim that Legacies erased Hope's relationships with the Mikaelsons when in actuality those relationships were only vaguely present in The Originals. None of the Mikaelson siblings spent long amounts of time with Hope so it’s hard to believe that she had these deep, meaningful relationships with them that people claim she had prior to Legacies. Most of the time they spent with her was when she was a baby, which she wouldn't be able to remember.

And that’s not to say that Legacies is innocent in this! Not in the slightest. The lack of the Mikaelson's presence in the show was definitely one of their many ways to prop H/andon as well as the found family trope with the Hope + Saltzmans. Claire, Riley, and Charles all said that they were happy to make appearances dating back to when season 1 was airing. I just think a lot of Mikaelson fans overhype Hope's relationships with the Mikaelsons, oftentimes at Hope's expense.

The Mikaelsons definitely loved Hope, but none of them truly knew her in a meaningful way outside of her being the family's redemption. I doubt any of them know her favorite color or what kind of music she likes or if she’s in any clubs at school. Their actual knowledge of Hope as a person (not a beacon of light or an extension of Klaus and Hayley) is very shallow, which sucks considering how much potential there was in each of their relationships with her.

has this one been done yet
