One Thing That Will Always Upset Me About The Mikaelson Family Is How Young They Are In Vampire Standards.

One thing that will always upset me about the Mikaelson family is how young they are in vampire standards. They're supposed to be the oldest family in history, the first vampires to ever live and they're just a thousand years old??? They should have been older.

In the books, Klaus was over a six thousand years old and born in the Bronze Age and he was also a lot worse - his siblings didn't even exist.

LOKI SPOILERS

when classic loki said his nexus event was because he was lonely and missed thor so he wanted to go and find him... loki’s FACE........ in every branch of reality loki will love his brother more than anything and that is such an incredible and important message about adoptive families

In my opinion, Klaus and Elijah had always been constantly rewrited to fit the narrative, but this just got worse in the last two seasons.

Klaus, who loved Hope more than everything, just resigned himself to die knowing she would be all alone and that she would lose him before even getting the chance to know him and we have Hayley being aware of the rift between her kid and Klaus and doing nothing to change it (I'm aware of their phone call) when one of her most prominent traits were how she always fought for Hope to be happy and safe - I know she tried to reach out to Klaus and I'm not excusing him abandoning their daughter at all, it's just curious to me. Elijah, who was literally fighting 24/7 to keep his family alive and together would have never allowed his brother to die knowing his niece would be left alone and even Freya, obssesed with keeping her brothers alive and always searching for solutions until the very last moment just accepted they were gonna die the first hour she knew Inadu had been trapped inside them.

Everything in season five was rushed, out of character and just straight up wrong. For example, Klaus flirting with Caroline while knowing Hayley was being tortured was disgusting - he was doing the same with Aurora, yes, but the moment he found out Rebekah could be in potential danger he flipped and lost it, so having him continue his shitty "romance" with Care was just ooc, especially because he cared about Hayley and Hope way more than for her. We have Antoinette too, who managed to charm Elijah out of nowhere and got completely irrelevant to the plot after he remembered Hayley and then there's also Declan, who was completely forgotten too despite having been with Hayley for all these years (he was literally Cami's cousin, why the fuck would they make him disappear in such a way???). And having Elijah be "unable" to live without Klaus was complete bullshit, he lived perfectly fine away from him when he thought he had daggered their siblings and threw them in the ocean while Klaus was drowning in his own paranoia.

I don't know what more to say, honestly. I agree with everything you said, the writers completely ruined their characters in season five and erased all their development.

In your opinion, would Elijah still have decided to die by his brother’s side if Hayley was still alive?

*Spoilers for Season 5 of The Originals*

In my opinion, the entire decision for Klaus and Elijah to die together was out of character.

Neither Elijah nor Klaus would die and leave Hope alone. I know she had her other family, but Klaus and Elijah always viewed themselves as family before the others. They would have wanted one of them to stay behind for her. Klaus dying for Hope really made no sense. He would have rather someone else die than leave his daughter an orphan.

To me, Elijah has always been a little suicidal so him dying was not a surprise to me. Him allowing Klaus to die, made no sense. That being said, if Hayley was alive, yes I think it may change some things. But even with Hayley alive, if it was a choice between him and his brother, he would still have been the one to sacrifice himself. He tried to do it in season 4 to save Klaus with Hayley standing right there.

Elijah is one who was always ready to sacrifice himself to protect his family. If it was ever even remotely a chance his death could save them, he jumped on it. I think it's partly because he didn't feel he deserved to live and experience any happiness, but also because he loved his siblings much more than he loved himself.

I've always viewed him erasing his memories as a way to kill himself. He erased himself rather than be separated from his family and Hayley. If he could sacrifice his life and it would allow his family to be whole once again and allow Hayley to have the support of his family, he would sacrifice himself.

So if everything else had happened the exact same way in Season 5, except for Hayley's death, I think he may have tried harder to find another way. But, if they were unable to, yes I think he still would have sacrificed himself.

Now, if there was zero way to save Klaus, I think he would have stayed for Hayley and Hope. They wouldn't have both died leaving everyone behind. But again, I don't understand how Elijah didn't make Freya give him the entire Hollow and cut Klaus out of the decision-making, splitting it made no sense for Elijah's character.

I also think it would be good character development for him to not die with Klaus. Showing that he was breaking away from his toxic codependency on Klaus, but it would be based on no real development because, if anything, they just became more dependent on each other as the show went on.

Thanks for the ask!

BYEE has this idiot been messaging us all?

They send me three long ass messages a few weeks ago of why I shouldn't hate Caroline and how she wasn't a self insert 💀

And they're also in my asks talking shit about Elena and Hayley/her parenting lmao

Normally I wouldn’t post an account’s name that was bothering me. But after months of someone stalking me online. This is happening again. They sent me a paragraph worth of complaints on my opinions and then sent me an anon message. This has been addressed here.
