Klaus Mikaelson in S05E06 “What, Will, I, Have, Left”

i was reading wikipedia about threats to gorilla conservation and i am deeply ashamed to admit that the mental image upon reading that a gorilla could step on a landmine made me laugh

She's so beautiful I actually cannot-

Tbh if it was Tyler accepting gifts from a woman Caroline didn’t like the discussions would be so different

Adding on to my last post: that side of the fandom gets so vile whenever you say their ship makes no sense. Yet wants to deny how they treated Phoebe, Leah, Danielle and although it’s not as discussed Michael Trevino.

“Bonnie doesn’t make since with Klaus because…” ahh yes the elitist bastard Klaus was and you think he wouldn’t have wanted Bonnie. What it boils down too is Bonnie being black and not making a rant about her insecurities like Caroline did

u like hanna but not caroline?

alright friend. let me be clear 😃.

Hanna and Caroline are different even if they have a typical girly tastes. Hanna was a good friend, good girlfriend to each of her partners, and never distracted from the main plot since she was (and all 3 main girls) were essential to the plot. Whereas Caroline wasn’t as needed her storyline seemed done in s2 outside of her getting kidnapped, tortured and dating someone new 3-8…no one ever addressed Caroline accepting gifs or Klaus help/enabling some emotional connection to him while still having some ties to Tyler.

my issues with Caroline are because of writing not the character type itself though I’ve faced harassment for 6 months+ because someone couldn’t understand. The narratives that were pushed through Caroline are why she gets the criticisms.

Ex: Caroline and Bonnie should be on the same level as characters since they aren’t the leads.(Elena,Damon, Stefan level…)However, Caroline being white and Julie’s favorite to write for(she has admitted this) she’s placed on a level that Bonnie isn’t on. Caroline doesn’t push the plot or lore the way Bonnie/The Bennett’s had ex: The Petrovas/Bennetts, The Mikaelson’s had a Bennett, Grams helped the Gemini coven etc etc.. Caroline gets the screetime and romances that gives her visibility she shouldn’t have had over Bonnie. When it comes to Bonnie’s emotions it becomes clear in those smaller moments she sees her feelings as a burden while Caroline we get all of them so forefront

Bonnie’s written off by millions of fans as a diversity hire for Kat and plot-device to everyone…when her family is apart of the lore! You have white witches like Freya who’s tasked up until s5 with saving her family, Davina was the savior to Kol’s problems and Hope literally calls herself a martyr in legacies. She’s the strongest of her friend group thus makes all the sacrifices and becoming the tribrid is one in itself.

So what was the difference from Bonnie/The Bennett’s and the other women from the fans to the writers? Being black or brown (in Qetsiyah’s case) I don’t hate Caroline but what I do dislike is how her gain is all from Bonnie being lessened. None of these witches should’ve been tasked with serving anyone. I think it would’ve been cool as fuck to see them all team up. Women > but you know this isn’t the place for that. On Caroline I tag my posts as anti to be respectful to other fans. No one wants to enter a tag seeing hate for someone they like, tumblr etiquette….

The feminine/snarky/fun character type was never my issue with Caroline. Brooke Davis IS one of my favorite characters of all time too & she embodies the feminine/snarky/fun but serious type. Hanna has her moments where she isn’t the best either but she was never a self-insert. That’s the divide here.
