I love Hope I love that she’s a tribreed but my thing is the is no synergy between her identities like she never combines her powers shes either casting a spell being a wolf and a vampire. The’s never a mix. Here’s how I would’ve done it

Instead it being 3 identities in one these identities combine to create a tribreed. Imagine her vampire identity giving her a longer lifespan and healing but without having to consume blood she’s technically alive but she might die we don’t know when maybe a thousand years maybe 50yrs. Her spells are boosted by her vampiric side which is why she can cast spells more casually than the average witch

I don’t know how her wolf side would work considering wolves aren’t explored that much in this series aside from the hybrid stuff maybe she kill someone to excess her wolf form

I don’t know I’m open to ideas

Rewatching this scene, it’s wild how different Lizzie and Josie felt in Season 1. They’re twins, but they handled almost everything in completely opposite ways.

Lizzie was loud and confident on the surface, while Josie was quieter and kept putting everyone else first, especially Lizzie. Underneath all that, though, they were both dealing with their own insecurities and trying to figure out who they were apart from each other.

That contrast is a big part of why their relationship worked so well early on. They could drive each other crazy, but you could always feel how much history there was between them. And knowing what was coming for them made some of those early moments hit even harder.

When you first watched Season 1, which twin did you relate to more, Lizzie or Josie?

I really wish we’d gotten more scenes with Hope and Freya. There’s something different about the way Freya interacts with her compared to most people in Legacies. She knows the Mikaelson family history and understands what Hope has lost without needing everything explained to her.

Hope spends so much of the show dealing with problems on her own, so it would’ve been nice to see her have more moments with someone who remembers Klaus and Hayley and understands where she comes from. Freya could’ve been a much bigger part of Hope’s life, especially with so little of her family around.

I get that Legacies had its own story to tell, but I still feel like the show missed an opportunity here.

Would you have liked to see Freya appear more often?

Upon rewatching the series, I was already well aware that romanticizing toxic relationships was a huge thing in the TVDverse & I really do feel like it’s okay to like problematic characters so long as you aren’t delusional about them being problematic.

However, I feel like when the first season was out I was reminded of Yellowjackets a little when it came to Josie/Lizzie & Shauna/Jackie. Both Jackie & Lizzie were heavily disliked by their respective fandoms at first so much so that people would assign false negatives that deeply misinterpreted their actual personalities & the actual story.

Shauna/Josie (who hilariously looks like Lottie, I thought she was played by Kaylee Bryant!) both display rage fueled, vindictive, & cruel behavior in both their pilots (Shauna having sex with Jackie’s boyfriend when Jackie expressed wanting to have sex with him then demanding he say he love her & Josie setting Penelope on fire) but people really have tunnel vision towards Jackie/Lizzie as they “villains.”

Penelope however fails to earn my sympathy about being set on fire because she drugs MG to make out with him in front of Josie. Hello? She gave out pens to spy on the whole school because…reasons I guess? Bullied Lizzie to “weaken” her so Josie could kill her & was her ableism was INSANE. She expected Josie to choose her over her family, rather than even talk to Josie she chooses to break up with her & start a bullying campaign.

Penelope calls Lizzie a black hole as if she isn’t the one who has been harassing the twins for an entire year. Then she has the nerve to try to give Josie a letter about going to Belgium & when she leaves Josie blames Lizzie for her NOT READING IT? The fandom was under spells during season one because why did everyone cheer Penelope & Josie like this?

Josie never spoke up for herself & while Lizzie should have been willing to listen, Josie never opened her mouth about what she wanted. She seethes when she doesn’t get it, & then lashes out. She is extremely ableist towards Lizzie blaming her for every problem & then in S3 she’s shielded from the consequences of her Lord Josiemort behavior. Lizzie hopping on Alyssa Chang’s back after Josie snapped her neck was crazy considering Josie never would do the same!

I can’t imagine how much worse Shauna would have been if she had some rat in her ear like Penelope telling her she was the biggest victim in the world who just #deservesbetter.

One thing I keep thinking about is how much time the students spent learning to control their powers, but how little they seemed to learn about dealing with the consequences of being supernatural in the real world.

They faced monsters, dangerous enemies, complicated relationships, and situations where one bad decision could hurt everyone around them. Yet so many problems seemed to catch them completely unprepared.

I get that it’s a school for young supernatural beings, not a military academy, but still.

Do you think the Salvatore School genuinely helped its students become responsible adults, or did it sometimes protect them so much that they struggled when things got serious? I’m especially interested in whether you think Hope, Lizzie, and Josie would have turned out differently if the school had handled things another way.

I am considering starting a Legacies Fanfic which would be heavily AU taking inspiration from Charmed (OG not Reboot) and similar shows. I am looking for discord channel, Group Chat or something to discuss with other writers.

Unreal beauty

Will she go to college/university, continue fighting evil supernaturals, teach at Salvatore’s, or become a degenerate League of Legends player?

I’m rewatching Legacies and something about Hope has been bothering me.

The more powerful she became, the less interesting some of her problems felt.

Early on, Hope could be stubborn, reckless and completely wrong about something. She actually had to deal with other people and sometimes admit that she couldn’t handle everything herself.

Later, when she becomes powerful enough to deal with almost anything, it feels like the answer to every major problem is just “Hope will figure it out.”

And I think that took something away from her character.

Her relationships with Lizzie, Josie, Landon and even some of the people she didn’t get along with were interesting precisely because Hope needed them in ways that had nothing to do with fighting monsters.

Honestly, I would have preferred seeing Hope lose an argument, make a stupid decision or need someone else’s help more often instead of constantly making her more powerful.

She was more interesting when she was powerful and vulnerable, rather than just powerful.

I've just finished season 1 episode 2 and not only the characters but also the storyline in general doesn't seem exciting. Hope is so arrogant, Lizzie on the other hand, is something else. I know I'm not supposed to compare the with TVD/TO but it is really different.

Something I find quite annoying is people constantly mentioning how badly Hope was nerfed and how she is actually weak because she didn't live up to the prophecies she had in the originals, that she would "bring an end to vampires, witches, man kind etc".

Firstly many people completely miss the point of her character, HOPE mikealson, shes meant to be different from her family. She's actually a good person yet many people only feared that she would be destructive is because of how her father was along with the rest of the Mikealsons. Hope never had a reason to destroy the world, she just wanted to live a normal life. Although when she shut off her humanity, she made a couple mistakes just like any person would, shes still different. She's meant to be the Hope not the fear. "You keep trying to set the world on fire instead of living up to what you were meant to be."

Also this often happens with any over-powered character, they need to get nerfed or put up against someone else on par with their power. Unfortunately as cool as it sounds on paper and it can work in comics or books, on screen it doesn't translate as well. Mainly budget reasons, which we know its something Legacies suffered from but also the fact that if a character is too powerful, theres no way a villain can beat them or create any stakes. We saw this with Wanda Maximoff for example, hense why they aren't bringing her character back so often.

I think the reason why they waited to long to turn Hope into the Tribrid because they knew this would be an issue they created themselves. Keeping Hope a werewitch meant she could get tired or weak as she was still mortal. But even then, people complained as if Hope wasn't always the one to save the day, I mean she beat every single character. Becoming the Tribrid amplified that hense why they invented someone like Ken, a 10,000 year old God who still didn't manage to kill her. Although I do wish we still got another season of Tribrid Hope, I'm still greatful for what we got in the end.

A lot of things about Alarics character and relationships with his daughters are a bit odd, but one thing that always trips me up is when Hope comes back from Malivore and is like “your daughters bf is actually the loml” and Alaric is just like “you better go get him then” basically lol like he wasn’t at all emotionally torn over the fact that his daughter was going to get her broken?!?!

PS I think Josie and Landon had way more chemistry

So will it get better? I decided to give Legacies a chance. So far I don't like Hope, I don't like the twins. Alaric hasn't changed a day considering it should be some 18 years later and he's now a human.

And then that dragon CGI in episode 2 of season one really made me question if I should keep watching.

Is it written by different people who have no clue about the TVD universe? Didn't they get enough budget ?

I will try stick around but I really hope that the characters become more likeable and the CGI just a bit better

Why didn’t Kol, Davina, Marcel and others visit.
Only Freya visited like 2 times.
I mean the school was constantly under attack and now body showed up to help.
I mean the funeral in season 4 didn’t make sence. The family gathers to help Hope but nowbody goes to Mystic Falls to help her fight a literal god who wants to kill her.

Iirc, s5e12 had Dark Hope use Glacé solidatur. For one time, and I don't think it was ever shown where she learned this spell.

But since Lizzie knew this spell in the Gremlins episode, it at least means that it can be found at school or in Freya's grimoires.

Malivore is made out of mud and black magic from 3 supernaturals.

Beyond just personal limits of one's use of magic, what exactly was stopping Hope, Lizzie or even Josie (tho she's clearly more of a pyro) from...using ice spells against him and his monsters?

And if water is a requirement, Hope's water torrent spell. Or just any existing water source, like the Falls. Or even the sea.

And if they don't want to freeze the target to death, why not use Aquam Alia, or just use whatever available water source to first wet the target (like a puddle), and then just focus the ice spell around the surrounding target only?

And while ice spells may not kill or destroy Malivore, it should be able to stop most of his monsters.

And since he's still made of mud, even with black magic, Hope can still use this ice spell to stop him long enough for her to use her blood to destroy him.

Rewatched Salvatore the Musical 😭 That was the best episode. The songs were actually good. I would genuinely pay to see this as an Off-Broadway musical lol. Chris Lee singing Hello Brother - chefs kiss.

I love a good Vamp | Wolf | Witch - and realized recently I haven’t seen any of the shows from this universe. I started with Originals - and had a decision to jump into TVD or Legacies. I went with the shorter one (by seasons) to save what I figured would be the better of the two remaining shows for last.

I don’t hate the show, I actually like it for what it is. I know it’s a little “monster-of-the-week” format and definitely not as sofisticated as The Originals, but I swear as of S2 Ep7 - Landon is just nails on a chalkboard to me. Positions himself as a truth-teller and human lie detector - but has absolutely ZERO concept of time or place. SUPER jealous, and oddly pompous for a guy who shares his ability with Dumbeldore’s mail deliver pet.

TLDR: does anyone else find Landon to just be a whiney know it all with zero concept of time or place? Also, the Walmart look a like of Jackson so there is a tie back to Haley?

Thank you for joining my Ted Talk.

When DJ confronted hope in the gym in S4 she attempted to see if she could make her humanity flicker or even figure out how to turn it back on, she mocks hope on her clinging to her defense mechanism and hope shoots a lecutio at her which we see josie easily reacts to. My question being How fast is josie reacting? Because if you really think about the short distance between hope and josie and hope being a tribrid meaning she can clearly raise her hand extremely fast and say the incantation of "lecutio" and we see that it's moving far faster then it was earlier when josie and hope was fighting in the boxing ring back in S2 I think. So that makes me question, how fast does josie actually have yo be moving to perceive and react to it effortlessly because assuming lecutio doesnt move at the actual speed of lightning and is instead just extremely fast that surely had to put josie at around The speed of sound because its not like hope says the incantation and then fires the spell by the time she C in "lecutio" the attack fires and and it reaches josie almost instantaneously 😭😭 i might genuinely be looking too hard into this but if josie is capable of reacting to a speed of sound attack should that not place her above 90% of characters in TVDU

no bc yall i feel so stunned.

I’ve had a pothos plant for the past couple of years and she’s steadily put out single new leaves as she’s grown.

Tell me why I start writing a hosie fic for the first time and it’s now put out two leaves simultaneously.

Yet for some reason one is dying and it feels like that tragic beauty of it sacrificing itself so the other can live.

anyways, i feel like it’s a sign to keep on writing but i don’t feel like i can make it about the merge specifically. it was just supposed to be a smut with angsty fluff.

Instead of the prison world being created to punish or in Rafe's case save someone let's instead reimagine it as something different.

Why not create "prison" worlds for fun now I know this isn't how they're created but remember we're reimagining them so instead of the prison world being a copy of the day you made it let's instead be able to choose any day in history from any year so like time travel except it's only one day per world and there's no people or animals.

Now I originally thought that in order for this to work i'd make it where you can create copies of worlds through pictures but since the first picture taken was believed to be taken in 1826 or 1827 that limits a lot of the past that I know I'd like to explore so we'll just be able to choose any day we think of and through universal magic that exact day would be copied down to every last atom.

This new version of the prison world would be great for trying that discontinued food or drink you want to try or even visit that building or area that has since been demolished or renovated. It'd also be fun to invite your friends and/or family so y'all can explore together.

Her character did an outstanding job in originals and in legacies with what the writers wrote for her, which one of the best characters in TVDU. Omg she’s amazing!! I love you Hope Mickelson!😘😎

Just like the title said, make the comments look like her search history! Just thought that this might be fun to do. I like reading comments so much. Let me know what you guys think Hope would search on Google or Safari (or whatever search engine you use.)

I rlly like hope mikaelson!
