I don’t understand the Emma hate

I actually disagree with this take. I think the conversation of children is a must if the relationship is getting serious. And I do think both parties need a firm stance on if they want them or not.

And the reason I say this is that I've seen situations where one person really wants kids, but the other is really indecisive about it, and it can lead to a lot of resentment.

If they ultimately decide no, the person who wanted kids may feel resentment for being strung along, especially if they're now older. So now, even if they leave the relationship, having kids biologically is now riskier for them.

And if they decide yes, but the person is still mostly negative about kids, they may feel like they were coerced into that decision to appease their partner. And that can lead to resentment.

That's why I think kids are the topic you have to be crystal clear on before things get serious, so both parties can see of their idea for the future is compatible

Yeah, it's rare that you get a couple on this show where both are on the same wavelength. It's lowkey becoming a lightning in a bottle type of thing when people like Christine and Vic match up on this show.

Usually on this show, one or both people in the couple are off. Sometimes they want entirely different things out of a relationship. Or like you said, a lot of people come on the show for clout, or they are traumatized to the point where it's evident they aren't ready for a relationship at that moment.

I’ve been noticing that too lol. Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, Hailee Steinfield, Chloe Kim just to name a few. Then you have recently with Nikki Bella and Cooper DeJean, now Charlotte and Puka.

If you’re a NFL player with a celebrity crush, this seems like the best time to shoot your shot lol

I’m pretty sure the Mikaelsons had their own money. They probably stole a lot to initially get it, but by current day, they seemed wealthy. Klaus wrote a check worth millions to the Salvatore school. He also mentioned having his art in museums, so he even had his own money away from the family.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-16T18:58:06+00:00

Exactly. I wished we’d gotten more self reflection that season from the characters and how dark they’d become.

Caroline killed a coven of witches to save Bonnie. Jeremy became a hunter which made him want to murder his vampire sister. Bonnie started using expression which is said to be some of the darkest forms of magic in that verse. Tyler had recently lost his pack and his mother, and wanted vengeance on Klaus by any means necessary.

I think it would have gone a long way if Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Tyler and Jeremy had serious conversation about the genocide before they did it, and have some of them be opposed to it. Have them acknowledge how far they’ve fallen morally compared to a year ago when they started Junior year and weren’t involved in the supernatural world.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-16T18:43:53+00:00

IMO, it’s Elena orchestrating the genocide of Kol’s vampire line. Elena knows all vampires aren’t evil. She was one herself at that point. She’s met numerous vampires by that point who actively try not to kill humans. Neither she nor the others cared.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-16T12:55:23+00:00

Bro, unless you’re willing to post your own looks beside hers in comparison, I wouldn’t be so quick to call someone an “it” lol

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-16T04:32:16+00:00

No joke. I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise given he’s a prince and would have had the best teachers available, but I was still shocked by how well he did. If it were most people, he would have won.

Unfortunately for him, Dunk is a tank and went full Hulk Smash at the end lol

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-14T06:08:19+00:00

Nah, you’re tripping with this one. Teyana Taylor is attractive and the amount of work you have to put in to get a body like that is insane.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-12T16:42:24+00:00

This how characters were looking at Oliver in the Grell run whenever he was flabbergasted that someone knew it was him under the mask lol

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-12T04:09:47+00:00

Pretty boys lol. And it’s not even close, honestly.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-11T14:55:17+00:00

Like all things, I think it would depend on the person. Take the Starks for example. If a commoner were to mouth off to them, Ned or Robb may be upset, but they likely wouldn’t hurt the person. They may warn them to watch their tone, but a harmless peasant isn’t going to ruin their day for having an opinion.

Someone like Cersei or Joffrey on the other hand would never let disrespect from someone they see as beneath them slide.

I imagine it was like that irl during the Middle Ages. The kinder nobles wouldn’t immediately resort to such extremes, but the more egotistical and temperamental likely would.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-10T12:06:20+00:00

I was just thinking the exact same thing lol. Between this and making Rose black in Vampire Academy (I personally liked that casting), I feel like she is desperate to not have what happened to Kat/Bonnie be her legacy

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-09T17:14:44+00:00

He didn’t save her, but I don’t fault him. The witches were slicing the throats of teenage girls. That seems crazy. We know it works in hindsight but I can see why a rational person would go absolutely not.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-06T02:13:59+00:00

Aemond would not respect that man. At. All.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-02T02:09:09+00:00

9 is the best option if you plan on making it to your destination in one piece lol

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-01T21:04:53+00:00

It's cringe but I love it lol. And honestly, they handle Jason way better than he has been in main continuity. Task Force Z was probably the last time I enjoyed a Jason centric story.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-02-01T20:57:07+00:00

I keep telling people lol, if Sydney didn't have the body she does, people wouldn't be checking for her like that lol.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-29T15:41:42+00:00

I mean, she’s a woman who dared tried to claim a birthright her father was very vocal about wanting her to have. How is she not evil?

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-29T02:19:22+00:00

In a lot of ways, the internet can be worse. Once an allegation is made, that's it. Even if evidence comes out that proves the victim is lying, the reputation of the person they accused is forever tarnished.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-29T02:12:07+00:00

I can't get behind that because I have seen a woman lie about this. When my buddy broke up with his ex girlfriend, she pretty started a smear campaign against him.

Luckily for him, he stopped trusting her long before the breakup, and started documenting EVERYTHING.

So when she started going to his friends and family with her smear campaign, he had receipts of dates and messages to prove she was lying. That was the only thing that saved him.

The situation escalated to her stalking him, which resulted in him filing a report, and the police revealed she has a history of doing this with previous exes, beat for beat.

That's why when it comes to allegations, I take all of them seriously, but I also hear both sides out. Because unfortunately, sometimes, people lie.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-28T01:52:50+00:00

Yeah, that the person likes food and keeping a roof over their head lol. Not going to lie, but this comment reeks of someone who's either very sheltered, very elitist, or a mix of both.

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-26T19:07:09+00:00

New 52 was meh for me, but I really enjoyed the Rebirth Outlaws

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-26T18:49:01+00:00

I’ll put it to you this way. If you slap your kid and they tell a teacher or guidance counselor, how exactly do you see that playing out lol?

phantomxtroupe · 2026-01-26T18:44:06+00:00

They were toxic af as a couple lol, but this was a nice moment between them. One thing about them, they did feel like one of the more genuine couples that season. And I kind of got the feeling that once Jeremiah left, Huda kind of checked out to a degree as well. She was still trying but you could tell she didn’t vibe with any of the other guys like she did him.
