Elijah X Gia - Tumblr Posts

Jayley and gilijah were the superior ships, period

☕ on the Hayley Elijah ship?

ohhh this is gonna be really long.

ok so i actually vibed with this ship during season one because they had nice chemistry and we’re generally sweet towards each other. they had ups and downs during season one but i was hoping they would be a thing.

then came season two. and oh my Lord it went downhill. elijah, for some unknown reason, distances himself from hayley or hayley distances herself from him or he doesn’t look at her the same way or whatever i honestly had no idea what was going on. whatever was happening, it was stupid and unnecessary and i skipped past all their scenes. this would’ve been a nice opportunity to invest in klayley but that’s another discussion. so i kind of lost interest in the two of them, especially when gia and jackson entered the picture. jackson and hayley were very cute and it was a healthy relationship. same with gia and elijah. AND THEN THEY KILL MY GIRL GIA. words cannot describe how much that infuriated me.

and thennn season three. at this point i have zero interest whatsoever in this ship i don’t care if they’re fighting or having conflict or whatever i don’t care. and the writers keep trying to force it down our throats. it’s exhausting. it’s stupid. i hate it. hayley, at this point, is emotionally cheating on jackson and she sorta admits it and jackson has every right to be angry but he still helps that family because they’re important to hayley. i love this man. AND THEN THEY KILL OFF JACKSON. i hate j*lie. and then the whole thing with marcel happens (hate how the mikaelson treated him but that’s for another post) and then hayley defends elijah saying klaus has to forgive him blah blah i don’t care blah. so much for marcel and hayley being friends. at that point hayley and elijah became official and i didn’t care one bit.

now on to season four. elijah wakes up and him and hayley get together and whatever. then hayley lectures him on not killing those children. idk why she was surprised because elijah had no problem in killing davina. whatever. anyways then hayley sees what’s behind the red door (which btw is a cool concept and gives lots of depth and complexity to elijah’s character) and this is when i realized that elijah and hayley are in love with idolized versions of each other. they put each other on pedestals and then get angry when they don’t meet each other’s expectations. it’s toxic and unhealthy and if they were endgame i would’ve hated it. then hayley breaks up with him and onto season five.

imo this was the worst season of the originals it was dull especially compared to the first three seasons. at this point i was just watching to finish it not because i was interested. anyways elijah loses his memory and is with antoinette. (i liked that ship too) then elijah is at fault for hayley’s death and the entire mikaelson family was trying to convince him that him and hayley were amazing and beautiful and they loved each other or whatever. which was all false btw.

so to sum up this post, elijah and hayley romanticized the heck out of each other and they had a toxic relationship. elijah should have been with gia and hayley should have been with jackson. the end.

I read your 'Aurora's influence over klaus' post and I agree with you 100%. It always surprised me how little their dynamic was discussed when they had the most interesting one.(I feel like that's mainly because of shipping reasons). I agree he loved camille but I don't think that affected his love for aurora. Even after kidnapping Rebekah, trying to kill originals with white oak, killing cami etc.. when he literally literally had the opportunity to shoot her with white oak he hesitated(which Aurora used for her advantage). Cami was definitely worried(she says so to Vincent) and so was Elijah. I also agree that 'unloving' is not exactly a klaus thing. If he loves you, he'll love you forever in his own messed up way. Had Aurora chosen to side with his family over doing everything she did, I have no doubt that he would have taken her back.(Again this doesn't mean he'll magically forget cami. I think he would do everything he did for cami in canon even if he was with Aurora. But I think he always thought of her as 'too good/pure for him' so he would probably prefer if she stayed away from the chaos that happened)

This is the main reason why I believe that out of all his love interests, the one he loved the most was Aurora.

All of their interactions just scream he never got over her and was still in love: she killed Cami, dumped Rebekah to the ocean, and a lot of other bullshit, and yet he got jealous when he realized her and Lucien were "a thing". I don't know if I said this, but he also kissed her before knowing Elijah had compelled her, so he allowed her to kiss him without even actually knowing why, and the cutoff of the scene is so crazy because they kiss and when we see them again they're still lip-locked and full on making out lmao, they had been kissing for like ten minutes.

Klaus never admitted he was still in love with her out of respect for Cami and hatred towards himself, but it was quite obvious for me and he never actually denied he didn't love her.

I think it's easy to see he was still in love with her and stuff, and it's so clear it was the same for her. Klaus was willing to forgive her for the whole Rebekah thing, he said so himself, but once she took Cami hostage it was over for them and he was quite grumpy about it. But I do think that if she had brought Rebekah back after that whole mess and promised to not hurt Cami, he would have taken her back.

Perhaps it sounds weird, but it's more or less like the whole Klaus-Elijah-Gia situation: despite clearly having feelings for Gia, Elijah forgave Klaus for killing her because he loved his brother more. And in this situation, Cami is Gia, the actual Klaus is Elijah and Klaus is Aurora.

Like, it wasn't that he didn't want to kill her, I'm pretty sure he wanted to after having her hurt his family and Cami, but he just couldn't do it. Klaus had to lock her behind a wall while talking about the portrait of her he made. It's funny if we think about his line in 3x18 where he said he still had hopes for them, when it's obvious he wanted to emotionally manipulate her, but perhaps there was a tingle of truth in it. After all, they were immortal in that moment and immortality is a long time for someone to hold resentment forever.

But that wouldn't take away his feelings for Cami, it's obvious. I believe he thought the same, her being too pure for him and his world, and I'm pretty sure he regretted having a relationship with her in the end because she ended up dying, which is the reason why he stayed away from her after Hope's birth. Klaus loved Cami, that's obvious, and he wouldn't had stopped loving her if he ever got back with Aurora.

What an interesting dynamic we could have had with them *sigh*
