family above all @mikaelsonsource - Tumblr Blog

Hi bestiesssss — I’ve always been a fan of TO since it aired, but I didn’t get involved in the tumblr TO community until after the show ended 😭😭😭!! It doesn’t look like you’re active anymore, but I LOVE the work you’ve done here!! Thank you so much for a wonderful archive of TO and Mikaelson material — I have a plethora of gorgeous edits to look at because of your work!! THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AWESOME BLOG

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely message! We are indeed not active anymore, but it was a pleasure to be a part of this fandom while the show aired, and it is a pleasure now for us to be an archive for all the wonderful activity that we had for this show. It was truly an amazing ride!

Curious what your thoughts are on Freya/Keelin

Kinda depends on who you're asking. This is a side blog run by multiple people, though I'm not sure how active any of my co-managers are.

But for me, Sahar (@hoezier), I no longer endorse or support this ship. I was really, really excited about it back in the day because I wanted for at least one of the Mikaelsons to be confirmed queer. But honestly? That ship was sooooo fucked. It was such a case of stockholm syndrome and the way that it started with Keelin falling for someone who tortured her is really not something that I can support anymore. And I *love* fucked up ships, but the show was so unaware of how messed up it was. It treated it as ab aspirational grand romance. Not something that was twisted and sick. And that, coupled with the overall racial undertones of the Originals, is just not okay at all. So, I'm officially withdrawing support of that ship.

Hi. I don't remember any TO blogs and it's been so long. I started Tumblr because of TO but never finished season 5 until yesterday. I'm curious; what was the general consensus about season 5? What did people think? What did they think of the ending? Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask this.

Hi there!

This is definitely the place to ask. And also.. oh boyyyyyyyy. OH BOYYYYYYYY if you're not reviving years old discourse.

Dear friend, it was chaos. Chaos I tell you. The klarliners were crying foul in one corner because they thought KC would be endgame. The Haylijah shippers felt robbed of their ship's reuinion. The Klamille fans were drilling a hole in the wall with their pain because they never had a chance. Everyone was yelling at the klaroliners for joining the show so late and being butthurt about not getting their ship when they didn't support the show at all. The Hayley fans were ANGRY. Elijah's fandom was a mess. Klaus's fans were confused. Everyone wondered why we had a death of a major character was followed by a wedding three episodes later. And everyone wondered why, why oh why, were they setting up a spin-off when we had so much storyline to wrap up. And I was in the corner wondering whether I can feel the ending was good but also kinda fucked at the same time?

In a word, it was chaos. I think the vast majority of people did not like it. In retrospect, I still think it was a good ending, thematically, for Klaus. But Elijah's death? That only made sense with the season 5 arc, not the whole show's arc. And since season 5 largely sucked, It Is Not Valid.

Anyway, this brings back memories.

Thank you for the answer!

Sounds horrible, honestly. To be so invested in a show and the characters and suddenly main character are dying and ships aren't getting their endgames or closure or even reunions in death... Just to set up for a spin off when there was so much more story to tell.

Maybe I'm a little bit glad that I wasn't in this fandom anymore when all this was going down 😰 I was so invested in the characters and even now, years later when I finally watched season 5, it still hit me like a sack of bricks.

Sorry for the war flashbacks 😭 but thank you for sharing! I'm quite sure I used to follow this blog back in the day. :)

One more question: Do you think it's worth it to watch Legacies? I wasn't going to but maybe there's some closure idk.

I’m not sure about Legacies. I personally never watched it and have no interest to watch it. And no one that I know or follow has watched it. So not that much I can offer in terms of insights. Has anyone watched it who has ideas?

#reblog #finn mikaleson #the originals #to #tos3 #me

Hi, there’s someone stealing tvd and to gifs (that bi multi fandom mess is the irl, with hyphens). Some of yours may be in there, wanted to let you know.

Checked and saw some of mine and some of the other member's gifs there as well. If you see any others you recognize from other blogs, send them a message too if you can! Thank you!

-Mia

Edit: they blocked me after I send a respectful message. Guess I'm not the first one to contact them about this

EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER THAT I LOVE (in alphabetical order) REBEKAH MIKAELSON - THE VAMPIRE DIARIES / THE ORIGINALS Go right ahead; laugh at the girl who loved too easily, but I would’ve rather lived my life than yours, Nik. No one will sit around around a table and tell stories about a man who couldn’t love.

What about Hayley? Nothing I conspire to do, none of my treachery, will harm this family as much as your feelings for her. You’re a hypocrite, Elijah. You would choose love over family and then condemn me for doing the same.
