I’m on my 3rd or 4th rewatch of the TVDU (minus Legacies lol). Idk if it’s because my frontal lobe is now fully developed but Elijah now hits… different during this rewatch. I loveeeee him in S2 of TVD like his entrance and who he is in that season. Made me excited for the Original family again and then when I reached it I was kinda disappointed with how their storyline played out. Also how they kinda slowly character assassinated him after S2 lol. I started getting annoyed with him in later seasons of TO.

Interesting! I haven’t made a little post about them in a while so why not!

My frontal lobe only been developed a few weeks now so I haven’t rewatched in full yet with my adult-brain but yeah I remember liking season 2 Elijah a lot initially too. I believe that Elijah/Daniel was supposed to be the face of the Original family if you get my drift. Since Elijah was introduced first, and trying to kill Klaus. The dynamic seemed different (at first) than Defan. It did not appear that there as any forgiveness in the dynamic and that Elijah would be the co-signer in the end. The Salvatores are toxic and has done heinous shit but when Stefan had the chance to let Damon die with the tomb vampires he couldn’t do it. Elijah eventually did the same with Klaus and then season 3 of TVD kinda pushed Elijah to the back while Klaus took the forefront. Daniel has less TVD eps, than Joseph does.

I think in and out the narrative it has lots to do with how Klaus shot up in the fans eyes. I’ve seen old panel vids from 11’ or 12’ back then and you could see how annoyed Daniel would get when everyone would reflect all their attention to just Joseph which maybe impacted the writing there. The writers paid attention to their audience and this is where Elijah’s regression comes from. The writers saw how people loved the back and forth the Salvatore brothers.. then mimicked it up for the Mikaelsons. Problem with this is well???? The Mikaelsons have more than one sibling. The co-dependent toxicity vibe has many issues but it’s different when its two Salvatore’s vs. a large family lmao.

My opinion with the Original family as a whole is that the writers never cared about anybody but the big three (Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah..) the are the main attraction and how those writers write those other characters (Kol, Finn, Freya, Marcel etc) is just based on plot needs not because they wanted their stories told. I think TVD wise it was easier to add more to their family to rival with the Mystic Falls Gang. But, in TO the writers use didn’t want to write all of them lol. Kol was brought back for absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Finn brought back and died. Claire is why Rebekah is in anf out the plot and despite Freya always being there and busting her ass? Well, she doesn’t get any personal life until the very end.. if you asked me it’s because the writers took what Kat Graham was pitching for her character…

Back to Elijah he starts off very anti-Klaus, that was their history since Klaus kept being Klaus but then when Elijah is criticizing and blaming Klaus for shit… he’s often the main one campaigning behind him. But couldn’t keep up with the lore they created. Rebekah says here it was HER that did all the support and love… Klaus and Rebekahs dynamic is another topic for later but Elijah willingly treated his family just the same as Klaus but gets away with it in a sense lol. Elijah would see how Klaus treats Rebekah’s (dont get me wrong Klaus is wrong) and never do anything about it. He’d see how Klaus bossed and berated Freya and never did anything about it… I could go on but you get me

And on to Haylijah? I think still trying to mimic Defan is why that entire relationship happened..

"Klaus asked me to run away with him, but I told him I would never leave Rebekah and Kol at the mercy of Mikael."

It's so interesting at how things changed. Early on, Elijah protected his youngest siblings. Then the guilt from him not being able to do the same for Klaus caused him to enable such horrid behaviors for centuries, all under the guise of "Klaus will do good if he's happy."

So, in helping Kol and Rebekah, he feels he betrayed Niklaus. But the reality is, he betrayed his youngest two siblings by enabling Klaus. He could never be a good brother to all three of them at once (forget how he treated Finn, but to be fair, that was equal opportunity loathing). But I also feel circumstances never truly allowed him to.

Elijah is really such a complicated character and brother.

Klaus: How ‘bout we drink every time Elijah says 'I Give You My Word'?

Rebekah: No thanks, I like my liver.

Klaus is at it again

So has he just been flirting with Elijah on-off for like seven years?

And Elijah just keeps pretending he doesn’t know he’s got a stalker who ends up killing all his nice flowers when he comes by to try to chat him into bed? It’s like. Elijah. Or did he just come by and watch you sadly from the darkness trying to get the nerve to walk up to you?

I just need these questions answered.

[fuckyeahoriginals]

So, brother, tell me what you know.

[blaire-bennett]

Klaus: I know people.

Elijah: No, you know how to kill people.

[blaire-bennett]

Elijah when someone pisses Klaus off: You see what you did? I don't know what he's gonna do, but if I were you, I'd run out to the back. Go!

Klaus brings out a sword

Elijah: A sword? He has a sword. Why do you have a sword? He's got a sword. You see this?

this is hilarious.

klaus like. hitting on him. he’s flirting. trying to get elijah to play the music he wants to hear if you know what i mean.

i bet you they had to shoot this scene like ten times.

because this is Klebekah levels of incest vibes.

Not digging the seven year skip, sort of rolling my eyes at the very stupid Hope school melodrama, am miffed that I’m not getting any real kisses with Rebekah/Marcel and Freya/Keelin.

But this?

A+++++

Just yes.

Have Klaus flirt with his amnesiac brother. I want Klaus to seduce him into bed. And say he wants to paint on Elijah. and Elijah just kinda goes with it. Because he’s been playing the piano for like seven years straight and he could use a change of pace. And Klaus starts talking about his beloved big brother while he’s painting a picture of their childhood home on Elijah’s naked back.

and Elijah, freed from all the boundary-crossing incestuous vibes he has with his siblings, is like ‘dude. you’re kinda killing the mood’

and then Klaus leans over and whispers, ‘you have no idea’

anyway it ends with Klaus tearfully talking about how he can’t spend time with his supernatural little girl and Elijah is kicking himself for following this goon into bed.
