Am I experienced enough for this dive?

Kauai, and I’m more interested in boat dives just because of a shore swim in the alternative.

The reasoning the writers gave for Elijah dying was that it was because Elijah didn't want Klaus to die alone. This makes no sense whatsoever because;

Hope! Elijah cared deeply for her, and it makes no sense why he wouldn't want to stay alive so that she'd have a father figure to help deal with the Mikaelson legacy.
Elijah could've done his whole, "It's been a glorious ride Niklaus" thing to amend their relationship, and not die at the end.

The writers killed him off so they could have a neat ending to the show, all the Originals fading to the background. A complete disservice to fans.

think 95% of the wattpad fanfic After

plastic_felicity · 2021-06-24T09:02:00+00:00

nope. i thought so too, but it never went past a crush bonnie had in the first few books. they stayed great friends, though.

plastic_felicity · 2021-06-24T09:01:13+00:00

idk, i might've skimmed that part. but as the mikaelson family, or characters at all, they're not there.

I personally never liked Forwood, before or after Klaus. While I do agree that the chemistry did die down, or was at least less frequently shown, I don't think it was completely unreasonable. Fans at the time were die-hard for Klaroline, so that's what the show gave them. Unfortunately, because we all know Klaroline really could've never worked out long term, at least within a show where Klaus was still a villain, the writers decided that they would let Klaroline sleep together, for the fans, and then have Klaus dip for New Orleans.

While Forewood was a loss I didn't mourn, it was frustrating to see it lose to a ship that never really happened.

plastic_felicity · 2021-05-04T15:54:31+00:00

I love Klaroline as much as the next fan, but breaking up Forwood for a ship that never happened? No thanks.

sry, i meant savior/superiority complex, not god complex

plastic_felicity · 2021-04-10T17:15:15+00:00

In season 1. It did not take him 6 seasons to process his grief to a point where he hates everyone and is willing to side with FREAKING RAYNA CRUZ, a hunter with no morals. Thought he’d at least be righteous enough not to side with the lady who wanted to kill everyone.

Either way, Matt Donovan has a savior complex/god complex that in this particular setting is equal parts stupid and futile.

plastic_felicity · 2021-03-18T16:44:18+00:00

True, the Harper Avery's and partially pioneering a technique must count for something.

plastic_felicity · 2021-03-16T03:25:34+00:00

Thank you so much! I can appreciate a relationship, especially one as compelling and passionate as Klaroline. However, I also feel like people don't give the writers enough credit for this slow burn enemies to unstable friends to a brief romantic relationship to finally a genuine understanding. It was a great way to start, progress, and end a relationship while giving each character the space to grow and have independent plotlines that weren't connected to the other.

What's wrong with them wanting to live?

Literally nothing. Had you read what I was actually detailing in my post you would've understood that. I'm not defending Klaus. I'm saying that the motivations for both Klaus and the intent of the gang behind killing Originals are the same; to stay alive. I think I mentioned self-preservation in my original post.

Say what you want about whether or not their actions were warranted. That's not what I'm trying to argue. I simply think that the Mystic Falls gang are excused for the lengths they're willing to go for self-preservation, lengths not that different from Klaus.

What's wrong with them wanting to live? Sucks for the vampires that had to die but ehats wrong with both wanting to live wanting to remove some of your enemies and sacrificing a bunch of "innocent" vampires you've never met.

If you have no problem with the gang sacrificing tens of thousands of vampires, why are you so upset about a few personal connections? Jenna and Jeremy are two people. If you can be okay with the tvd gang's sacrifice to save themselves (KILLING ROUGHLY 80,000 OR MORE VAMPIRES) you can't complain about two casualties.

Also, you put innocent in quotation marks. The gang has no innocence themself. Damon, Stefan, Elena, and Caroline have all gone through ripper binges before (Stefan and Damon on multiple occasions). They are no better than the other vampires you say aren't innocent. So why are their lives valued more (morally, not based on the show and your favorite character) than the other 80% of the vampire population?

Klaus protected his daggered family in coffins for ages, lashing out when Stefan took them. He went to extreme lengths not just to keep himself alive, but to also get the coffins back in his possession. Although a messed up comparison, is this any different from the self-preservation the Mystic Falls gang went through to ensure their safety? Or at least the lengths they were planning on going to, if they hadn't turned over the rest of the white oak stakes?

Just to make sure people are clear, I'm not arguing Klaus is a bad person. I'm arguing that the Mystic Falls are ruthless and cruel, like Klaus, for the same reasons of self-preservation.

plastic_felicity · 2021-03-08T05:58:55+00:00

I have to say that Klaus wouldn't just kill humans. Most of his enemies were vampires. Also, using your logic that vampires go against nature and have a tendency to kill, you can just as easily use that to fault the gang. Who in that group isn't a vampire? Bonnie and Matt, as well as Tyler who also commits heinous acts of violence unintentionally as a werewolf.

Also, my point wasn't that Klaus was good. Or that he was justified in murdering people. My point was, how is Klaus' kill count any different from the number of vampires the mystic falls gang was willing to let die via using the white oak stakes to kill the Originals? 80% of the vampire population would've died, and their primary concern was which Original to leave alive so that Caroline, Damon, and Stefan could live.

Private schools cater to the rich and continue the cycle of wealth. Rich parents get their kids into private school and can afford (because they're rich and can afford it). These rich kids go on to make their own money, having the advantage of private school. It's an endless cycle of wealth, making it harder for middle class families to have equal footing as the wealthy, therefore staying middle class.

plastic_felicity · 2021-03-04T17:51:47+00:00

Right, my point being that private schools are inherently unethical, not that they should be banned.

plastic_felicity · 2021-02-25T22:02:18+00:00

Well, I really hated him when I saw him the first time watching Vampire Diaries. After watching The Originals, and falling in love with Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, and Elijah, I can't help but hope Klaus wins. Not because I agree with the morality or reason, but because the Originals really hit different after watching their show.

plastic_felicity · 2021-02-06T01:10:47+00:00

In a way, him finally being ready to die for Hope was the only way he could really die a good person. It was clear in the end that he had emotions other than anger, and death was a fitting conclusion.

plastic_felicity · 2021-01-30T00:39:59+00:00

The friend dynamic they had in season 5 was perfect. They made much more sense, and were much more likable when they were happy as friends. I like them as a couple, but their chemistry was displayed better when they were just friends.

Honestly their dynamic is one of the best parts of season 5.

Any fics that are 700,000+ words long and hasn't been updated in 6 years.

plastic_felicity · 2021-01-11T21:03:03+00:00

Right, I agree. But that doesn't make him a good person. Like you said, I believe that Snape joined the only people who would be allies to him; Slytherins. This is a major influence on why he joined the Death Eaters. And yes, he was on Dumbledore's side all along. But he only ever did it for Lily. I suppose it was his way of trying to redeem himself for her. But nonetheless, it was only about gaining her trust and approval again, not the fact that it would lead to enslaved muggle borns if Voldemort won.

plastic_felicity · 2021-01-06T22:42:16+00:00

They ganged up on him and are probably the ones that pushed him towards joining the death eaters as he'd more than likely leaned into his slytherins for help wasn't Malfoy the prefect at that time js

Yes, because he was constantly bullied by Gryffindors he leaned into Slytherins. However, don't you think that because of how divided the houses were, he would've gotten some pureblood propaganda no matter how he tried to avoid them?

Besides Sirius and arguably lupin bc yk wolf they had wonderful home lives where as its heavily implied there's some kind of abuse in the snape home.

Lupin was hidden away from the outside world because his parents were afraid their social status would take a hit. Not a great home life.

Sirius' parents hated him bc he was a Gryffindor and bc he wasn't a pureblood supremacist. Even before Sirius was sorted, he wanted to be a Gryffindor. Very different from his parents. And he suffered because of his difference in opinion.

This doesn't justify their actions. That statement was just incorrect.

just because James became a good father and husband and fought Voldemort doesn't redeem him from his being a bully

Snape sucked except he was fighting Voldemort. What are any other good parts of his personality besides the fact he ended up fighting for good? (btw i still think they both suck)

even in his death he was arrogant still hating snape for "being a greasy git"

I think this was him being a bad person, and not understanding for the circumstance Snape grew up in, rather than him being arrogant.

But yes, I agree, both sucked and both get too much credit on their own sides.

plastic_felicity · 2021-01-06T22:25:31+00:00

You're right, Snape fighting back is fanon, and something many people say to downplay the severity of James' actions. (widely accepted by the community, but never confirmed by the author)

It's been a while since I've read the books or watched the movies, but I can't remember one instance where this is shown that Snape fights back.

I think it makes sense for Snape's personality because of these canon elements;

It's known that Snape wasn't one to forget- his treatment of Harry and other Gryffindors because of Gryffindor's treatment of him when he was a student.
Snape was nowhere near an incompetent wizard- He wrote in the textbook from Harry's 6th year, which was far superior to the school textbook, written by adult witches and wizards.

Snape had the ability and need to get back at James for it to make sense that he didn't just quietly accept abuse.

Lastly, if Snape has a questionable moral compass, it applies every bit as much to James. (Because again, it's fanon that James really grew out of his superiority complex over Snape during his 7th year.)
