Klayley - Tumblr Posts
Fr, I'll never get over how their "platonic" relationship never became a romance.
I can't help but believe that what Inadu said to Hayley taking Jack's form was true.
She fell for the suit, not Elijah. Hayley herself said she fell in love with him in a time where she was scared and alone.
Hayley: * love Elijah, because he " kind to her "*
Klaus, who was always there for her at the right time: okay š¤”š¤”š¤”



While I do agree with some points, imo klayley did center (mostly) about Hope. They definitely loved each other as family, but their daughter was the reason they tried to have a stable relationship in the first place.
If Hope hadn't been procreated that night, Klaus wouldn't have left Mystic Falls, because he was lured in to the city due to the witches using his unborn child as a plot to take Marcel down, and Hayley would have went to New Orleans, the curse of the Crescent pack would have been lifted sooner or later and she would have ended up marrying Jackson once again.
And without Elijah in the picture, she would have 100% fallen in love with him completely. She did say in s4 she fell in love with Elijah because he was there for her on a time she was alone and scared of Klaus (which is why I never really liked haylijah), and to me it did seem like Hayley was starting to fall in love a little with Jack by season 3.
Moving to Klaus, itās more or less the same. If he ended up moving to New Orleans, he would have started with his whole "I wanna be king of New Orleans" shit, which would have enraged Hayley because his "kingdom" treated every supernatural creature but vampires like hell.
And knowing Klaus, if Hope hadn't been born in this reality, I feel that he would have killed Hayley the moment she got too bold/disturbed his plans too much. I mean, their mutual love for their daughter is what brought them close in the first place, so without that I really don't see a reason for them to have a good relationship.
He clearly respected Hayley's courage and bravery, but to a point. He's mentally inestable, and tends to easily snap. Their relationship would definitely have that sexual tension they have in canon, and I'm pretty sure they would hate fuck at least once in an au without Hope.
But moving on from that, I completely agree with most of what you said.
They care about each other more than the fans and show admits, and the potential for a romantic relationship is clear. She never gave up on him, and he was so damn distraught after her death. Their whole breakup scene in s5 when he hangs up the phone after she told him she would never give him is heartbreaking, especially because it's implied they never saw each other again face to face until her death scene.
Hope was what, nine at the time her parents stopped talking? Klaus and Hayley spent six years without any contact between them and yet Hayley was constantly standing up for him, making excuses and etc because she loved him. It does kinda make me mad that he was flirting with Caroline while his daughter and mother of his child were kidnapped, but anyway.
They clearly love each other, I think their mutual understanding in Hope being the most and priceless person/thing for them is quite cute and idk what more to say because it's night and I'm dying of heat.
there's something very juvenile and shallow about klaroline, in my opinion. part of it is because the narrative has never really focused on them unless its for fanservice. klayley, for example, have had ups and downs. they have worked together and worked against each other. they have made concessions for each other, they have killed for each other, and they have made choices for each other. their dynamic feels a bit more adult despite their immaturity at times, and of course part of that comes from their shared responsibility and their shared desire to put hope above themselves. it is through their circumstances that they regard each other differently and begin to treat each other like equals, which i find interesting. personally, klaroline just feels a bit stuck in the teen drama pit, which is why i do not find it nearly as compelling.
I also think it's because Caroline herself is a teenager. Yes, a vampire, but also a girl who's frozen at seventeen and will never grow up out of it, similar to Rebekah.
I'm not sure if it's been said in canon, but in tvd it's pretty clear that vampires are more or less mentally frozen with their physical age when they die. I don't know if that made sense, so: you die being twenty-two = you'll always be twenty-two mentally and emotionally, no matter how much you live as a vampire.
A clear example of that is Klaus, who died when he was twenty-one/twenty-two and despite having a thousand years, he clearly doesn't act like it. Or Rebekah, who in canon died being seventeen: she was clearly an insecure and neurotic teenager in tvd, until they made her act mature and feminist in The Originals (don't come at me for the last part, trying to steal a girl's boyfriend wasn't very feminist of her).
But back to the point, definitely. There was a lack of power between their relationship which Klaus always took advantage of, and Caroline did act like she couldn't stand his sight yet she didn't hesitate before accepting his attention or his gifts imo. I believe is because they weren't supposed to be romantically interwined at first, so the writers clearly didn't know how to handle them and they tried to make look romantic every time Klaus threatened her and snapped whenever she said something he didn't like.
Which failed, and yet fans bought it with their whole "Klaus is the only one who always put Caroline first." He didn't imo and that's final.
And Joseph and Kat, the actress of Bonnie, wanted their characters to have a romantic relationship yet Pl*c said a big no because she's a racist piece of shit. So with the way the writers jumped at the opportunity to not give us the romance between the black witch and the hybrid and instead had him "fall" for the baby vampire is disgusting. Klaus x Bonnie would have been a thousand of times better than any of his other relationships.
And now, going to klayley, I personally don't ship them anymore even though I did once. I agree about how they were more mature than klaroline, but the whole point of their dynamic is that they wouldn't have spared the other a glance if not for Hope. Hayley hated sleeping with him, as pointed out for their daughter in s5, but didn't regret it considering it brought her her hope (no pun intended lmao, or perhaps yes). Still, seeing the development in their relationship was quite beautiful despite everything: they loved each other as family, and one of the few things they agreed on was that Hope was their number one priority.
The whole conception about how Hope was made is strange though, hybrid and female werewolf = magic and most powerful baby as clichƩ as Renaissance from Twilight, that is three species without any logical explanation other than "we don't want any black witch (especially Bonnie Bennett) to be the most powerful" and "Klaus is a hybrid so he can procreate, despite the fact that he had been killed before having his werewolf side locked, therefore he couldn't get any woman pregnant".
I honestly love Hope, but her whole character revolves around being the most powerful and being the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson who is traumatized after her daddy and mommy died.
But going back to the point, definitely. Personally, I don't ship anyone with Klaus because I believe that to be seriously in a relationship with him, you must be as screwed up as him. It's the reason I don't believe Camille or Caroline could have been with him for a long time, and honestly he doesn't deserve either of those girls (I do though, give him to me.)
Either way, klamille and klaroline have problems of their own, but the fact that they resemble so much the sister he's always been obssesed with??? And the way Rebekah went for Marcel, the person that the show always said was the most like Klaus???
The main point in which I disagree is about Hope. Idk how you're intending to make it sound, but Klaus and Hayley definitely didn't love/care about each other more than they loved and cared for Hope.
And it's been said in canon, both by the producers and the characters themselves more than once.
But either way, agree to disagree š

Oh yeah, totally.
Especially because Candice herself said the "ship" was never intented to be romantic, but after their first interaction in 3x11 the fans got crazy over them so the writers started feeding them with this crazy ass couple that wasn't even a couple in the first time.
Aka = klaroline has been fanservice from the beginning lmao, every other Klaus ship is a thousand times better. Even that hookup with Genevieve or his crush on Tatia had more impact to the plot than klaroline did.
And I don't see that chemistry the fans claim they have. Caroline looks uncomfortable 85% of their interactions, and Klaus literally snaps to her whenever she proves she isn't the weird image he created in his mind.
He always wanted her for sex, he never bothered to check on her for a reason after their weird fuck on the woods and don't bring up Pl*c saying that "Caroline was a big relationship for Klaus and continues to linger in his heart and in his brain" or any of her corny "canon" quotes about Klaroline because she also said in Twitter that Damon never rapped Caroline, which is clearly bullshit.
Y'all only bring in that racist bitch when it's convenient š¤”
But either way, they're so fucking weird and I won't get into that Legacies au where they're married because they literally brought out the worse in each other, proving that your ship is as toxic and pathetic as we claim it to be.
And he hadn't even meet Hayley or Cami in that universe, aka really important women in his life that made a significant change on him that don't involve having sex with him against a tree, so yeah.
Klaroline is centered entirely around Tyler
I feel like a lot the people who hate klaroline (as they should) really don't understand the foundation of the ship which is why it's labeled as something that doesn't make sense/random, and the reason for that is the Tyler of it all.
Like of course when delusional shippers or anyone really think Klaus was actually in love with Caroline or even liked her in the first place at least initially it's easy then to label it at something that doesn't narratively make sense because it's not explained why he took interest in her , but the thing is the writers knew that which is why we have only like two to three semi subtle cues explaining the basis of the ship but it's unfortunately buried under a tons of fan service especially within the huge fan base
So basically klaroline's first interaction that sparked that cursed ship is 3x11, it's right after Tyler is first seen standing up to Klaus and showing clear rebellion against Klaus enslaving him that he first orders him the bite his girlfriend before showing up at her house etc, all that he knows about her is that she's a random "pretty" teenager which is why he's for no reason on a mission to woo her with all sorts of gifts, since basically he doesn't know shit About her, he's never shown to be physically attracted to her despite seeing her around before and only gave two fucks about her when he wanted to put Tyler in his place, then you have him almost murder her again in season 4 to "teach Tyler a lesson the hard way" and these are his words, like my guy was willing to kill her if it meant humbling Tylerš he Brags about how he hurt Tyler to Elijah by "sleeping with his girl", he tells Caroline he couldn't stop thinking about her but the moment they finally fuck he dips lmao??
Even throughout the whole thing Klaus is like "Tyler isn't enough for you, you want to see the world instead bla bla" because he doesn't know her or even actually cared to know her beyond what he sought from her which is literally just to put Tyler in his place and he thrived on the chase, the fact that he failed to get the teenage girl to give in , he was willing to murder her to get back at Tyler, he attempted to sexually assault her and left happy after he finally slept with her
But of course the shippers see the hot villain gift horse paintings to this random ass teenager and they go "he's so in love with herš"
This whole rant is basically because I'm tired of Klaus's feelings for Caroline being painted as "love" among both fans and antis , I get that he at best might have developed more of a soft spot for her but that was all it was tbh , they have no moments showing actual love/no moments of Klaus taking the time of day to consider her feelings nor does he go out of his way to do anything for her, Caroline was simply a prize to be won out of his grievances with her boyfriend, if Tyler was dating any other pretty girl Klaus would've went after her for the simple fact she's Tyler's gf and he felt the need to humble him
I wanna punch Klaus every time I remember he told Hayley she wasn't a Mikaelson
Hating Camille O'Connell because of a shitty ship that wasn't even supposed to happen in the first place is honestly pathetic.
No, Cami wasn't a copy of Caroline and no, Klaus didn't fall in love with her because she reminded him of Caroline. Camille and Caroline have nothing in common apart from being blondes and their names starting with "ca"
Reducing Cami to just being Klausās love interest is also quite pathetic. Cami had a storyline of her own and if we're gonna act like this, I could as well say that Caroline's whole character revolved about slutshaming every single female that slept with someone she liked when ironically, Caroline is the one who slept around the most. And no, I'm not slutshaming her for that either. It's her body, and she can sleep who whoever she wants because it's just sex, it's nothing taboo and she can explore her sexual life the way she wants.
Don't even get me started on the hate towards Hayley for "getting on the way" of klaroline. They're constantly calling her "whore" and all kind of shit and it's just disgusting. Yes, sleeping with your brother's baby daddy was something fucked up, but people are talking about her as if she was some kind of prostitute. Hayley just slept with Klaus, Elijah, her main love interest, and Jackson, her husband. No, not with Tyler, despite what people seem to think.
And,,, it's been more than ten years and people are still mad she's the one who got pregnant with Klaus's child. No, Caroline couldn't have gotten magically pregnant and no, she wouldn't have moved to New Orleans because there was literally nothing for her there.
But anyway, Cami, Hayley and Caroline are too hot for Klaus and having stupid characters/ship wars about those girls is yeah, āØpatheticāØ
Leave my girls alone wtf
If we suspend reality as Julie often does and somehow Elijah was the one having a magical kid , how do you think would the storyline go? What would be the changes
I think Elijah would be terrified.
As we have seen in the series, he basically is his siblings parent (it really bothers me that this is only "acknowledged" in the last episode and barely at that) so raising a child wouldn't be something he wouldn't know how to do. He is loyal to the ones he loves and clearly loves his family more than he loves himself.
Bringing a child, especially his own child at that, into the toxic codependent mess that the Mikaelson are would for sure mess up with him. Elijah would be skeptical at first because vampires cannot procreate and all that stuff, but this show isn't known for having a consistent canon so let's ignore it, but he wouldn't react at all the way Klaus did with Hayley's pregnancy. Once he has a way to make sure the kid is 100% his, his demenaour would without a doubt change.
I'm not really sure if Elijah wouldn't see this magical baby as the salvation of his family. We all know he saw that in Hope and he never really saw her as her own person until s5, where she was a teenager who could express herself and stuff. But again, this is his child, someone who is gonna need him for everything half of their life and someone who is gonna be dependent on him.
And that, without a doubt, would drive him away from his obsession with Klaus's redemption, basically the 90% of his character.
Elijah would be forced to drop Klaus or hit him until his baby brother agrees to not kill his child because as I said in one of my posts, Klaus wouldn't approve of his siblings loving someone more than they loved him. It would be an interesting turn in his character, because Elijah was obssesed with redeeming Klaus for his whole life (and that never happened, Hope was the one Klaus loved the most but he was never redeemed). And as we've seen in The Originals, Elijah has prioritized his niece over his brother so imagine that with his own kid.
He would form a bond with the mother of his child way more quickly than klayley did, they would be family and Elijah wouldn't be nearly as possessive over his child the way Klaus is with Hope. He would trust his family to keep his baby safe, and he would trust the mother too. Of course he would be more protective, and that would make him more dangerous.
Obviously this child would soften him, and having a baby to actually raise may make him not treat Marcel like shit and in consequence, not kill him, because he knows what it is to love someone more than himself and stuff.
Simply put, Elijah would have loved this baby more than his siblings and would have been forced to change 55% of his behavior. His child wouldn't be the mythical tribrid tho, so I wonder what their life would have been like.
(I think it would be ironic if Hope and the hypotetical kid existed in the same universe, haylijah got together and Klaus and the mother of Elijah's baby also fell in love lmao.)
Itās honestly so weird to me how many KC, CK, and KH stans jump through hoops to justify their āKlaus loves x girl more than Hopeā arguments. As if their ship isnāt valid unless they can prove Klaus loved their fave over his own child. Do they not feel a bit odd trying to compete with a infant/toddler/teenage girl for Klaus ROMANTIC/SEXUAL affection??? They act as if Hope herself gave af about who Klaus was dating/actively went out of her way to sabotage any of his ships.
Because while the writing for Klope is very (and I mean VERY) iffy, the one thing that remained constant for all 5 seasons was that thereās no one he would choose over Hope. Joseph said it, the writers said it, Klaus said it, and even multiple characters in the show (Cami and Hayley included) said it.
They're the same people who excuse his or any Mikaelson's behavior, so I'm not surprised.
I'll start with saying that there is no one Klaus could ever love more than his daughter, no one: not Caroline, not Cami and certainly not Hayley. If you don't agree you're just delusional and haven't watched the show, because The Originals is constantly throwing in your face how Hope was the only thing and person Klaus couldn't live without.
Granted, they had no time together at all but Klaus adored her. Saying any woman would come before her is stupid, and while Klaus is impulsive and has done things that could have prevented them from being together (him dying for Cami in season 2 aka giving his own life for her, biting Elijah when Hayley was pregnant aka putting his unborn child in danger, and etc) she has always been his first priority.
"My daughter, my heir, you're my heart" "Because you've helped me feel something that I never thought was possible: unconditional love" "She's my heart and soul" "You are all that matters to me" "Because you are my peace. And I regret a lot of things, but I don't regret a single moment I spent with you. I love you so much" Klaus said all those things to Hope and yet people believe she was second in his life??? Like, what.
Hayley and Cami were definitely important persons in his life, but they would never be as important as Hope. Klaus "allowed" every single thing that Hayley did because she was the mother of his child and he couldn't harm her, not only because Hope would hate him but also because his family wouldn't allow it. I mean, even the episode of her wedding is more about Klaus and Hope that is about Hayley herself. He was terrified of anyone other than him being Hope's father, and Elijah noticed.
"Elijah: Just listen to yourself! Fueled by your delusions of persecution! Think, Niklaus-- if you kill Jackson, the wolves will descend into chaos. You're acting out of fear, terrified that Jackson might be a better father to Hope.
Klaus: Do not bring the child into this.
Elijah: Your child arrived here today, her security strengthened by those wolves that would defend her, and you would jeopardize that alliance? Niklaus, you yourself have mentioned that had you been raised by Ansel, you might have been a better man. Now, perhaps, a better man has entered Hope's life, and having seen that, you are shaken to your core."
And then he proceeded to get jealous about Elijah spending time with Cami. Like, all of season two is Klaus not wanting Hayley to marry Jackson because he knew he was a better man than he could ever be and he could be an even better step father to Hope, of course Klaus didn't want that to happen. And he eventually agreed, because his love and need to be with his daughter was bigger than his fear and etc. And it's something Hayley agreed on: she married Jack because she wanted to, but mainly because her kid could be back home.
Or in 2x12, his whole fight with Jackson was basically him whining and being jealous because he got to met Ansel, his biological father aka the man Klaus had always wanted in his life. And his argument/fight with Hayley just proves my point:
"Klaus: Well, allow me to make this simple for you-- under no circumstances will you divulge any family secrets, especially none that would endanger our child!
Hayley: Except it's not that simple, Klaus. You saw what Finn did. He's growing more powerful by the day. Right now he controls over half of the wolves. This marriage could change that.
Klaus: The outcome of your strategy is not worth the risk it imposes on our daughter."
"Hayley: Klaus, think. We could have a whole army of super-wolves who could protect Hope as one of their own.
Klaus: Hope doesn't need a wolf army! I'll protect her myself! And an easier time I'll have of it, too, without you running off sharing secrets with every motley member of your werewolf brethren.
Hayley: Damnit, Klaus! This is our chance! We can bring her home. We have to at least consider this!
Klaus: I have considered it, and I have deemed it absurd. And in this matter, there is no one above my decree, not even you."
It took three seasons for them to be able to even stand each other, not to talk about the fact that Klaus was cosplaying as a single father for months demanding Hayley came to apologize to him, knowing she was in potential danger. And well, he was in fact flirting with Caroline while being aware Hayley was kidnapped and suffering, so let's not lmao.
It's the same thing with Cami: she was well aware she wasn't Klaus's light and yet she asked him in her deathbed to be the light for Hope and stuff, to let go of his anger and he swore to always carry her with him and etc, and it was clear he did but Hope was still his main priority and the one he loved the most. And Camille loved Hope a lot, Klaus and Hayley and actually all the Mikaelson siblings knew her and were aware about the impact she had on Nik.
Klaus and Caroline are something like a wtf, because when it comes to them the writing for both characters just disappears. But well, Klaus did some decent things for her but he never actually changed until Hope was born (he was forced to tho, but that's another conversation) and Caroline was aware of that. She trusted him with her twins and Klaus with his daughter, and they had a mutual respect in The Originals because they had grown in their own personal ways.
Caroline, Cami and Hayley are all very different women who managed to leave a mark on Klaus, but they weren't even in the top of three persons he loved the most. Hope was the first one, Rebekah the second and Elijah or perhaps himself is the third, not his love interests.
People need to stop being mad about the fact that a daughter is the most important person to a father š
Every Klaus ship is taged here, because this wasn't exactly anti, just stating what's in canon.
Klaus loved Hope the most, that's what's in canon. It's said by himself, producers, characters, and every single person who knew Klaus well enough. Not trying to start a fight because that isn't my goal at all but your proof isn't that consistent, I'm aware Klaus has bad writing but the thing that remained of his character through all the seasons was how Hope was his everything. Ignoring all the dialogue and choosing to focus in only actions (like three actions at that) to lift your ship is quite strange.
I think you believe I'm implying Klaus didn't love Hayley at all when that's not the case: I'm aware he did, they were family after all (or the closest thing a non related person could get to be a Mikaelson) but that love wasn't romantic.
"Your biggest proof is dialogue", yeah, and your biggest proof are scenes, scenes in which my dialogue is constantly repeated so I wonder what that means. I never said Klaus would let his family die for Hope, he's codependent on them and that has been shown in every argument they had. And Klaus putting Hope and Hayley in danger in 1x7 wasn't a surprise, he had been accused by both Elijah and Hayley of only wanting his daughter for her blood and the chance to make more hybrids after also putting said woman and baby in danger episodes prior by trying to choke her to death, so of course he would be self-destructive and try to kill them both: in my opinion, he didn't give a damn about either of them yet, he just acted like an asshole because he hates when people talk shit about him. I don't think Klaus started to love Hope and Hayley until a few months into her pregnancy, as he was absent for most of it and they were bickering 24/7 and also his daddy issues. Elijah and Hayley were the right ones in here btw, not Klaus, in case this came as an attempt to justify his actions.
Klaus was also ready to rip out Hope from Hayley's womb in the chance of her survival, being well aware Hayley would die. Elijah had to physically stop him, while Klaus said he wouldn't lose the baby. And it's not a surprise Klaus stayed with her body: the witches said they would kill Hope the second she was born, then they murdered Hayley the next moment and broke his neck. It was probably a few minutes before he woke up, crawled towards Hayley and Elijah came in: it is what their whole conversation suggests. Especially because those witches were in the cemetery, where Klaus would face all of them.
I can't say much about season five. Klaus coming back to the city is what Hope intented, and he didn't seem mad at all after learning she had kidnapped Hayley: he gave her a slight reprimand and said he knew it wasn't what she intended to do, despite the fact that her actions were wrong no matter what. And he didn't approach Hope unless necessary, he said he would leave New Orleans the second Hayley was found. Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't remember much from last season, but Klaus had to physically approach Hope to hurt her and he always left as soon as he could: I do think however that in New Orleans was raining blood and stuff because of him being there.
I don't think he hated Elijah as much as he pretended to though: I'm pretty sure he did try and he did to an extent, but not forever. Klaus did fight his brother for wanting to die for him, saying he wouldn't kill him and more stuff. He had been forced to accept it after Elijah took a fragment of Inadu, and it's pretty clear they had rekindled towards the end of the show because Klaus loved his brother no matter what.
But it's clear we're not gonna agree on this though.
Itās honestly so weird to me how many KC, CK, and KH stans jump through hoops to justify their āKlaus loves x girl more than Hopeā arguments. As if their ship isnāt valid unless they can prove Klaus loved their fave over his own child.

I mean, even the episode of her wedding is more about Klaus and Hope that is about Hayley herself. He was terrified of anyone other than him being Hope's father, and Elijah noticed.
"Elijah: Just listen to yourself! Fueled by your delusions of persecution! Think, Niklaus-- if you kill Jackson, the wolves will descend into chaos. You're acting out of fear, terrified that Jackson might be a better father to Hope.
Klaus: Do not bring the child into this.
Elijah: Your child arrived here today, her security strengthened by those wolves that would defend her, and you would jeopardize that alliance? Niklaus, you yourself have mentioned that had you been raised by Ansel, you might have been a better man. Now, perhaps, a better man has entered Hope's life, and having seen that, you are shaken to your core."
And then he proceeded to get jealous about Elijah spending time with Cami. Like, all of season two is Klaus not wanting Hayley to marry Jackson because he knew he was a better man than he could ever be and he could be an even better step father to Hope, of course Klaus didn't want that to happen. And he eventually agreed, because his love and need to be with his daughter was bigger than his fear and etc. And it's something Hayley agreed on: she married Jack because she wanted to, but mainly because her kid could be back home.
Or in 2x12, his whole fight with Jackson was basically him whining and being jealous because he got to met Ansel, his biological father aka the man Klaus had always wanted in his life. And his argument/fight with Hayley just proves my point:
"Klaus: Well, allow me to make this simple for you-- under no circumstances will you divulge any family secrets, especially none that would endanger our child!
Hayley: Except it's not that simple, Klaus. You saw what Finn did. He's growing more powerful by the day. Right now he controls over half of the wolves. This marriage could change that.
Klaus: The outcome of your strategy is not worth the risk it imposes on our daughter."
"Hayley: Klaus, think. We could have a whole army of super-wolves who could protect Hope as one of their own.
Klaus: Hope doesn't need a wolf army! I'll protect her myself! And an easier time I'll have of it, too, without you running off sharing secrets with every motley member of your werewolf brethren.
Hayley: Damnit, Klaus! This is our chance! We can bring her home. We have to at least consider this!
Klaus: I have considered it, and I have deemed it absurd. And in this matter, there is no one above my decree, not even you."
It took three seasons for them to be able to even stand each other, not to talk about the fact that Klaus was cosplaying as a single father for months demanding Hayley came to apologize to him, knowing she was in potential danger. And well, he was in fact flirting with Caroline while being aware Hayley was kidnapped and suffering, so let's not lmao.
It's the same thing with Cami: she was well aware she wasn't Klaus's light and yet she asked him in her deathbed to be the light for Hope and stuff, to let go of his anger and he swore to always carry her with him and etc, and it was clear he did but Hope was still his main priority and the one he loved the most. And Camille loved Hope a lot, Klaus and Hayley and actually all the Mikaelson siblings knew her and were aware about the impact she had on Nik.
Klaus and Caroline are something like a wtf, because when it comes to them the writing for both characters just disappears. But well, Klaus did some decent things for her but he never actually changed until Hope was born (he was forced to tho, but that's another conversation) and Caroline was aware of that. She trusted him with her twins and Klaus with his daughter, and they had a mutual respect in The Originals because they had grown in their own personal ways.
Caroline, Cami and Hayley are all very different women who managed to leave a mark on Klaus, but they weren't even in the top of three persons he loved the most. Hope was the first one, Rebekah the second and Elijah or perhaps himself is the third, not his love interests.
People need to stop being mad about the fact that a daughter is the most important person to a father š
I'm sorry but the only reason klaroline ever got so much popularity and their huge fan base was because the fans used Caroline as a self insert: she's the stereotype of a teenager girl, a gorgeous blonde vampire who's insecure and is always put second aka what every teen has been in one point of their lives.
That's why other Klausās ships, such as klayley, klamille, klaurora and especially klonnie, didn't get the hype and love klaroline did. These women were all adults or young adults when they were introduced (except Bonnie of course) and the people didn't like them at all at first. I mean, the hatred towards Camille, Hayley and Aurora when The Originals was streaming was crazy and this has reduced a little, but still remains.
I'm aware that even if klaroline hadn't happened, klonnie wouldn't have gotten half the support that Klaus and Caroline have. Of course it wouldn't, why would they care about a poc romance? Bonnie wasn't ignored only by the show itself, but by the fans and this shows. I mean, even klena (Klaus x Elena) gets more love than them and while I don't hate this pairing, it just proves that writers will never put their favorite white person with a black woman.
Do you think Klaus and Hayley ever think back to the night they had sex? Like, when they're standing next to each other or when they are having a conversation, does their one night stand ever come to their minds even for a split second?
I kissed a guy back in high school, and he was one of my best friends. We both agreed that the kiss was in the heat of the moment and continued on with our friendship, but whenever I was around him I would still think about our kiss even though I didn't have any romantic feelings for him. On the day of our high school graduation I confessed to him that I still think about our kiss even though I think of him as a best friend and my love for him is that of a brother, and surprisingly he also admitted that he also thinks about our kiss and that he also doesn't have any romantic feelings for me.
So that's why I was wondering. Every time I'd see Klaus and Hayley on screen together, I would always wonder if they ever think back to that night. Obviously, they don't have any romantic feelings for each other and care about each other like family, but I'm sure they thought about their one night stand whenever they were together, even for a split second.
I hope this isn't a weird question!
Don't worry, it's not weird at all!
They definitely think about that night. Not just because they got a daughter out of it, but also because they're Klaus and Hayley: they clearly find each other still attractive, if we base it in that one scene of season 3 in which they basically had eye sex. And with that line he said ("and my former one-night stand!") it's quite obvious for me that their mind often goes back to that night.
I mean, Klaus did say she was exquisite when talking to Elijah in the first season (something about having "tasted what she had to offer") so it's safe to assume that he, at least, does still think of their first and last time together.
Like, they have the talking reminder (Hope) of that walking around, Klaus and Hayley still had some sexual tension even years after she was born and they were, after all, family and probably best friends. And taking into account Hayley's latter to him in the last episodes, she also doesn't regret it.
So yes, they do still think about when they fucked.
Why do you think that many people tend to devalue Klausās relationship with Cami, Aurora, and even Hayley? Honestly, I think that out of all his love interests in the show, Klaus truly only loved Cami, Aurora, and Hayley. Cami understood Klaus very well, and she loved him despite all his flaws. Cami encouraged him to become a better person for Hope. And when Klaus was imprisoned, the person he imagined was Cami.
Klaus was hung up on Aurora for centuries. He painted her constantly. While he loved Cami, he definitely also loved Aurora. Heās the type of person that falls in love forever. And while this is a super unpopular opinion, I think that if he was alive during Legacies, he wouldāve ended up with Aurora.
Hayley wasnāt really a love interest and I donāt think Klaus loved her romantically - but he totally loved her platonically. She was his best friend. He truly valued her as a person and respected her so much.
Say what you want about Klaus, but he had excellent taste in romantic partners. All his lovers, including Caroline, are beautiful and amazing. And this is no hate to Caroline and Klaus shippers, but I really think that Klaus only loved Cami, Aurora, and Hayley. His feelings for Caroline are rather shallow when compared to his feelings for Cami, Aurora, and Hayley - so why do you think so many people ship Caroline and Klaus together?
Oh anon, I love talking about Klaus Mikaelson and his fucked up relationships.
Why people ship klaroline? Whenever I come across shippers of them, they always say it's because Klaus and Caroline had the biggest chemistry in all of tvdu. Which, in my opinion, is false. I personally think Caroline looks uncomfortable and pissed off with Klaus in half of their interactions, and their development is so bad done and weird so they just have him give her puppy eyes out of nowhere and have her laughing at his jokes when she hated him the episode before.
I think that a big part of why people ship klaroline is because Caroline was the first woman Klaus showed an romantic interest in in the series. We have Klaus who is the villain, who until the moment has been nothing but evil to everyone around him and out of nowhere he gets soft for her, so people lost their shit and started shipping them like crazy. Which mind you, is exactly like happened: Candice herself said klaroline just happened because the fans liked them.
But in my opinion it was just stupid. If they wanted Klaus to have any interest in Caroline, they should have built it better; the only explanation we get of his interest in her is nearly ten years later when Caroline says in The Originals she believes he only liked her because she reminded him of when he was human, innocent and young. And I kinda get this, because despite how much he goes on about being feared Klaus does love having people who say he can be saved, loved and etc.
The fact that the plot and timeline was often bended to their will is a turn off for many fans as well and it always pissed me off too because it didn't make sense and still doesn't. The biggest example I can think of right now is when Klaus sent her money for the Salvatore school: he was supposed to be trapped in Marcel's dungeon by then, but the timeline of these shows has never made any sense anyway. Or how in they inserted Klaus in every one of Caroline's scenes in The Originals; Daniel Gillies himself was upset by this, they even had to delete some of his scenes to fit hers in, which is a reason of why season five was so rushed and full of bad writing.
But honestly that's the main reason I can think of. Whenever I stumble across a klaroline ship the comments always are "their chemistry" or "they look so good together" and more things about the ship. I honestly think klaroline wouldn't have blew up the way it did if it had been done these last years, but many of the plots that there are in tvd wouldn't have made it to the screen if it had been streaming this year.
I fully agree with his other ships. Canonically Klaus just loved romantically three women: Tatia, Aurora and Camille. However, I don't really think he was in love with Tatia, just infatuated. He's not as affected by her as Elijah is, but once Klaus loves you or he takes a serious romantic interest in someone he really never forgets about them: Camille and Aurora are the biggest proof of this.
Losing Aurora really took a toll on him and shaped him to be the character we know and people often brush over this because they don't like Aurora/for shipping reasons. I think she's his most interesting romantic relationship, and they're my favorite tvdu ship. It's kinda canon he loved her more than any of his other love interests and don't get me wrong, I love Klaus and Camille but in my opinion Klaus always forgot about her whenever Aurora was around which just pissed me off.
If Cami had remained dead by the time Legacies took place, I do believe Klaus and her would have gotten back together. To me, Aurora was never truly evil and I think they should have handled her character better, but Klaus understood her even after everything she did to him and viceversa, and their chemistry is just so perfect and they had sexual tension in every one of their interactions. But if Cami had been alive, I honestly think Klaus would have remained with her.
Everyone who follows me knows I believe Klaus loved Aurora romantically the most, but by the time Legacies takes place Klaus would probably adore Cami a lot more than it's already shown in canon and perhaps they would even be married, and she was good for him and his family. In the modern day, Aurora wasn't good for him or his family at all (she was literally trying to kill Hope) and in general, she needed to work on herself, to try to let go of Tristan's abuse before getting into a relationship with the man whose family is responsible for her fucked up mental health.
However, I do think Hope would stop her family if they tried to kill Aurora, she's really empathetic in these kind of things and they had a slight respect for each other by the time Aurora died. Klaus and her would probably talk, perhaps she would even have a conversation with Camille before leaving to live her best life which it's what should have happened in canon. Hayley would probably thank her for saving her daughter too, and I think they - by this I mean the whole Mikaelson family - would agree to try to not kill each other again, but who knows with them?
I love Klaus and Hayley together. Whether people ship them romantically or not isn't important to me, I can see their potential and though I personally think they wouldn't work, I can understand why other people do. I really like how often she stands up to him whenever she feels he's getting too cocky, or when it comes to their daughter. I love how much their relationship developed in the last three seasons and how gutted he was after her death, he didn't just love her for being his mother's daughter but for being his best friend and family. It was beautiful for me to see how much Hayley fought for him and never gave up, they deserved to raise their daughter together or at least, Hope deserved it.
And I honestly agree: he has amazing taste. I would get with any of these girls in an instant, they're all beautiful.
I donāt think that itās talked about enough how weird the fandom is for pitting Hope against Caroline. Some people have an obsession in making Hope and Caroline compete for Klausās love and affection. People claim that Klaus loves Caroline more and that he would pick her over Hope every time. They will make up fake situations in which Klaus can only save one person, and he of course picks Caroline over Hope.
I think everyone knows that Klaus loves Hope more - thatās not really debatable. But I honestly donāt get this weird obsession over making Klaus pick Caroline. This obsession is strange, odd, and kinda disturbing.
Hopeās not one of Klausās love interests trying to steal him away from Caroline. Sheās his literal daughter. Imagine if a stepmom got angry about the fact that her husband loves his daughter more than her - everyone would be justifiably weirded out. Maybe itās just me but I wouldnāt want to be with a guy who would pick me over his own children.
And anyway, why does it even have to be a competition? Why canāt Klaus love Hope while also loving Caroline? Why does Klaus have to love Caroline more than Hope?
Of course, this obsession isnāt solely based on Caroline and Klaus shippers. All of Klausās love interests are somehow always in competition with Hope for Klausās love. Itās very important for the some people in fandom that Klaus loves his love interest more than he does his daughter for some reason.
And I find it odd that itās mostly this fandom that does this weird competition between child and potential stepparent In OUPT, no one is said that Emma Swan loved Hook more than her son. In The Walking Dead, no one claimed that Rick loved Michonne more than his son.
And even in this fandom, this weird competition is only between Hope and Klausās love interest. No one is demanding that Caroline love Klaus more than Lizzie or Josie. No one is claiming that Hayley loved Elijah more than Hope.
Its just kinda creepy to me how people will go on rants and say that Klaus loves another woman over his daughter when the love for his daughter is completely different from whatever romantic love he feels for some other woman.
This may come as bashing towards Klausās ships. Really, don't ignore this. Don't blame me if you get your feelings hurt.
People have been bitter about Klaus having a daughter since the baby plot was introduced because they knew it would mean his priorities/love would shift.
Sure, Klaus says he intends to wait for Caroline however long it takes (a fake promise he didn't intend to accomplish, in my opinion, especially because once Caroline finally admitted they had something going on he said he would leave and never come back), but that changed when Hope came into the picture because then Caroline wouldn't be his greatest love, his favorite person, etc etc. It's not a surprise klaroline fans often think Caroline was the woman he loved the most romantically even when their interactions prove otherwise, and it's not something new either how much they hate whenever a new woman is introduced in his life (at least in the romantic aspect). Cami is the biggest proof of this.
Parents often love their children more than anything and Klaus did love Hope more than everything (I'm not gonna have the same debate again, if you think he loved Hayley/Caroline/Cami more grow up, seriously), even if he didn't act like it. He isn't a good father, obviously, but at least his daughter was the most important thing in his life. Seeing as Cami isn't a really big Klausās ship, Hayley and Caroline are, in klayley/klaroline shippers eyes, the women Klaus loved the most when it took like three seasons for both relationships to get along.
It's canon Klaus was sexually attracted to Hayley even in season three (I believe it was stated somewhere by Michael Narducci, but it was obvious anyway), and he clearly was attracted to Caroline too, and I'm pretty sure both girls felt the same way as they literally had sex, but lust has never been an equal to romantic love and we're talking about the man who slept with any pretty female who challenged him, Klaus feels sexually attracted to almost everybody. Klaus never loved Hayley romantically, and he never loved Caroline like that either in my opinion, but even if he did he still would not chose them over his own daughter.
Any time he has put somebody else above Hope, has always been because he was hurt or influenced by someone else's actions (see this post to see what I mean), and I acknowledge he's a selfish git who does what he wants, but Klaus would never actually put anyone over his daughter once everything was said and done. I mean, the only reason as to why he even rekindled his relationships with Hayley and Caroline was because of Hope, and his relationship with Hayley actually started because of Hope, because otherwise they would've gone their separate ways after sleeping together.
Klaus has a fucked up mentality, but his love for his daughter was probably the only thing that was a constant for him. How the fandom makes it a competition is crazy, because Hayley and Caroline didn't care about him that much either. Hayley was willing to let Klaus die in season four if that meant Elijah (the man she loved the most btw) would return to her, and Caroline literally married Stefan and went on with her life without thinking twice about Klaus.
Caroline doesn't love Stefan or Klaus more than she loves Lizzie and Josie, Hayley doesn't love Elijah or Jack more than she loves Hope and that's something people need to see because honestly, it's getting tiring.
Weird question, but what do you think of the sex scenes in the TVDU? I mean only The Vampire Diaries and The Originals 'cause I don't think Legacies has any.
What exactly do you mean, though?
If you refer to what I think as mainly - I think it fits how savage they are. They're vampires, they don't do soft most of the time and that is easy to see in their sex scenes. Stelena was the first important sex scene The Vampire Diaries had (because Damon absolutely raped Caroline so that doesn't count) and it amuses me how sweet and soft that scene is in comparison to how rough later scenes are.
Though my personal favorite is when Klaus and Camille make out in his bed the Christmas episode, it was just so sweet and the fact that Klaus trusted her enough to fall asleep beside her (literally the only girl he's actually slept beside) it's so adorable. I don't know if it counts as sex, but it's heavily implied more than once they fucked, but yeah Klaus is without a doubt an animal in bed (he started fucking Hayley in a table and they ended up in his bed, like hello, his quickie with Caroline lasted literally an entire day and Genevieve and Aurora were down bad). Elijah's sex scenes fit his character so well too because dear lord.
But I do wish they recognized certain people aren't having sex but raping persons instead, it upsets me so much how Katherine and Damon both compelled people to not be scared of them in bed and yet the fandom still believes they consented.
And Legacies actually has a few sex scenes, if I'm right. And I think Hope actually killed Landon when they did it for the first time, and I don't mean it in the ironic way...
Perhaps this comes out as klaroline bashing? This is all canon events but lmk if people want this in the anti tag. Anyway, I get it's fanfiction, but I'll never understand why writers make Cami/Hayley straight up bitches - and I hate this word - in klaroline fanfics.
Some people act as if Camille or Hayley actively went out of their way to sabotage Klaus's relationships, which it's just dumb. This man was literally screwing Genevieve, a woman who played a part in Kieran's death and who was nothing but mean to her, yet Cami was still kind and nice to her, and honestly Hayley couldn't have cared less about who Klaus dated (and like, usually writers make Rebekah and Caroline best friends, so it's insane she hates Hayley for the hybrid thing yet absolutely adores Rebekah who was nothing but rude to her).
Camille and Caroline would not hate each other if they met, be for real now. Caroline didn't only show no interest in Klaus, she was aware he slept with the same woman he thought Tyler had been unfaithful with which just proves her more he has close to no respect for her but she also said she never felt herself around him, so why would she ever hate someone who is quite literally the embodiment of kindness because of a man who who always hurt her? Hayley and her had problems of their own, but knowing the personalities of Caroline and Cami they wouldn't hate each other over a guy - Caroline is more likely to slut-shame her if anything, but that's another whole conversation.
Anyway, Cami, Hayley and Caroline have always been too hot for Klaus Mikaelson.
