Legacies

Hey-hey,

Who knew adulthood gets so busy!? I’ve barely got time these days to manage watching series, let alone blog about them, but I’ve watched the first two episodes of Legacies and thought I’d throw in my two cents for anyone who’s considering picking it up.

Firstly, it’s not as bad as you’d expect it to be. It’s been like 10 years since TVD and they were already quite old actors playing youngsters, so it’s nice to have a new generation. I’m not sure if being a spin off helps it or hurts it, though. You’ve already got an established world and it’s easier to get into it, but also so much of it doesn’t just add up.

The title card is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen

Ric is actually quite.. likable? I thought he got really annoying in TVD by the end (well who am I kidding, I never like him) and all he really was was a sidekick to Damon, so without Damon he’s kind of okay. And being the principal of a supernatural school is perfect for him!

None of the teens are my favourites yet and they’ll definitely need like half a season to kind of grow into their roles. So far I’d say the strongest are probably Landon and Josie when it comes to acting.

Took me two episodes to get used to the actors, but the twins are actually kind of cute and the chemistry is definitely believable. The girl who plays Josie is gorgeous

I didn’t like the girl who plays Hope much in the Originals, but she’s definitely growing on me here. They’ve actually got the writing pretty spot on as well as some of the decisions she makes are stuff that makes you go !?! at her, but the you remember she is Klaus’s daughter and it all makes sense (so here, being a spin off helps)

But then you have the Salvatore mansion and the twins and Hope - but where’s Caroline? Or Freya or Kol? Do Elena and Damon still remember their vampire days? It makes no sense for Caroline or Freya not to be there, I hope this gets explained at one point

The amount LGBT relationships and amount of POC feels a bit forced to me if I’m being honest, but hey, at least they’re trying!

I briefly thought maybe Dana was DAmon’s and eleNA’s daughter briefly (also she said her mom has a pharmacy), but then I remembered the timelines don’t match (not that this has ever bothered TVD before)

I’m still really confused as to what Hope is - so she’s a born witch (so should’ve all other Originals have witch powers? Did I blank this?) and she does practice magic. She’s also a wolf from both parents’ side. But how is she a vampire? She can’t compel, she doesn’t heal, she can walk in the sun and surely it was Klaus’ wolf side that conceived her so how is she a tri-brid again?

How are they funding this school? How do people find out about it. If it’s witches or vampires, do their parents get involved?

All in all, I don’t hate it, definitely going to stick with it for now. Is it a little cheesy? Yeah of course, but so is everything from this universe.

I don’t know how to respond to replies apparently (this is how old I’ve gotten :D)

fangirlonaroll Hope's father was an original vampire, that's why she has vampire blood in her system. She actually does heal and is capable of healing (even healed her mother when she was in the womb). Her blood can also create vampire-werewolf hybrids out of normal werewolves, which happened with her mother and another one of her classmates. She had increased speed and agility even before triggering her werewolf curse, which came from her vampire side.  Also, vamp-werewolf hybrids can walk in the sun, so Hope being a tribid can obviously do that too.

Yeah they showed the healing thing in the last episode, too, but I just always thought being a vampire means that you have to die? So I guess they’re just picking what qualities it is convenient for her to have regardless. So she heals, but she doesn’t need to drink blood? Though, didn’t werewolves heal, too, just a bit slower? I just mean like, if she was just a wolf, she wouldn’t have issues walking in the sun etc. anyway, so her vampirisms seem to be paralleling her wolf side too.

ms-december-23rd I'm pretty sure that her vampire side won't be activated until she dies. Because she has Hybrid blood in her system and since she is already a werewolf, dying with her blood in her system will put her in transition.

That seems more plausible, but then surely if she’s currently not a vampire she’s at the moment just a hybrid of witch and wolf?

agentsheryl Freya has a family of her own by now. Also how are the two lgbt characters and the handful of characters of color forced?

It only seems like maybe a year or so would’ve passed since the Originals, so I feel like they wouldn’t have a family just yet.  You would think that an all powerful witch and a wolf couple would want to be involved in a magic school, especially if it’s near Hope and it’s early stages? But I guess that shall be explained in the future. And I just meant that it seems like other than the leads (that they had already introduced) most everyone else that have had lines have been POC and the LGBT relationships have been mentioned more than they have in the history of the Originals and TVD in like two episodes as well as the latter only really having Bonnie is the only non-white character minus a few soon-to-be-dead witches.. I have nothing against it at all! but what I meant by it is that compared to the prequels where they had almost nothing, they seem to have gone from 1 to 100 real quick and hence why it seems forced. Was it a standalone series, this wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. 

thesoftindie I see someone has already explained the vampire thing so I'm not gonna do it again. Just adding that, as far as I remember, the Mikaelson siblings had a witch mother and a human father, and it is recalled that Kol did inherit some powers from Esther (maybe it was just him, out of the rest of the family). Obviously said powers couldn't be maintained when he was turned, so he "lost"it and continued to help witches throughout the centuries only with his knowledge. I suppose Hope, being a werewolf with vampire blood (as something that is her genes, and not because someone turned her), is still a creature able to procreate so she kept/can use the powers coming from her granny.

Yeah, I remember all that, but so like out of 6 siblings only 2 inherited the powers, but it was treated as a given that Hope would definitely be a witch? It was never mentioned that the other siblings did any magic before being turned, therefore the gene not being carried on to everyone (and why not? isn’t that the whole witch thing?). 

miniaturepicklekidwagon You're misinformed on the healing part. Her vampire side allows her to heal

Yeah, I guess they mentioned it in 1x03, but I just don’t understand how and why that isn’t her werewolf side. Like she’s not dead, so how is she a vampire? Wasn’t that the whole thing that witches are living things and therefore you can’t be both at the same time because vampires are dead beings?

Hello everyone who is still following me! 

I know I said I would still be active and I meant it and it low key pains me that I never finished my sets. I truly miss gifing, but I just don’t have the time for it anymore these days. Adulthood, aye. I used to scroll back to where I left off on Tumblr and now my bookmarks are months behind! One day, though, I’ll get the time and I’ll gif something once again!

Until then, I’m going to put a request out. Chainsmokers has got a song ‘You Owe Me’ which I think fits Defan perfectly, so if there’s any editing wizards out there, here’s an idea for you!

Could you please upload the gif of when damon killed Maggie James? Please and thank you

What episode was that? I haven’t giffed in a while, but if I get a chance, I can do that for you :)

[missdefan]

do you like everything? because you reblog both stelena and delena... so i'm confused

Given that I haven't posted anything much recently, I'm surprised I even still receive messages! :DI only really watched for Defan and I briefly shipped Steroline, but they fucked up their getting together story for me. Otherwise, I've tried to be Switzerland and blog whatever gifs appear on my dash as long as the quality of the gif is good.

Nikki Reed on Deciding to Start a Family: Husband Ian Somerhalder 'Threw Out All My Birth Control Pills'

Nikki Reed opens up about welcoming her and Ian Somerhalder’s daughter Bodhi Soleil, revealing, “I’m the real planner and I had no [birth] plan”

ian somerhalder threw out all of his wife’s birth control pills without telling her. that is… sickening. he took away her choice and decided this for the both of them. he took away her choice to put her body through a total physical and mental transformation. maybe she did want to have kids right then too, but he didn’t know because HE DIDN’T ASK HER IN THE FIRST PLACE. her initial reaction of hyperventilation was also caught on camera. and the fact that he announced this so proudly in the podcast just makes it worse. 

i’m fucking disgusted. he is SCUM.
