Elijah Mikaelson Stan Club - Tumblr Posts

The way some people actually believe Elijah was responsible for the monster Klaus turned into is insane.

Yes, he's the reason Aurora broke his heart, which triggered Klaus to lose his humanity, but Klaus would have ended up becoming the same kind of person he's in canon all the same, his brother's actions just sped it up. He put all of his happiness and expectations in one person, who was just as damaged as him, and that could never end up well. As much as I love their relationship, realistically, Klaus and Aurora wouldn't have lasted as a couple outside France.

Tristan would have probably tracked them down, and with Mikael after them as well, this would without a doubt cause a strain in their relationship. Aurora would be forced to chose between her lover and her brother, who has a strange incestuous obsession with her, and I don't think Klaus could ever truly let go from his siblings. And once again, both of them were mentally damaged, in probably the worst point of their lives. Their short romance was practically out of a fairytale, and it honestly felt like they were only clinging to the past and a version of themselves that no longer existed in the present.

Stop blaming Elijah for the man his brother turned into, because Klaus was doomed either way.
