Bonnie bennett as a headmistress in a supernatural school makes so much more sense then alaric understandably kat wasn't interested in returning as bonnie so that wasn't possible which is why legacies itself makes no sense they had nobody important wanting to return

Here are some beautiful pics of Kat that I think gives headmistress!Bonnie.

I don’t blame Kat for not being interested in returning as Bonnie. TVD had eight long years to do right by her. She gave ideas and was continuously sidelined for being black. There is no excuse for their behavior but to call racism what it is. There is a reason Candice was open to returning during season 3(from what I was told) and her later guest appearance. Legacies, didn’t even do right by their black/or non-white characters. How do you make a musical episode with a joke that Bonnie wasn’t important? Huh.

Bonnie didn’t have a ton of help being a witch. She was self-taught it would make perfect sense for her to want to create a space for witches/supernatural beings without guidance. It is very telling that TVDU started to introduce child witches/other beings but never connect them to Bonnie. I can’t talk about Legacies without mentioning Hope and Bonnie. If you aren’t aware Hope is physically book description Bonnie without the big curly red hair.

I do not know much about Legacies-lore wise. I am aware that Alaric used and manipulated Hope into protecting the school/his daughters by proxy. I know that Hope continuously felt that she HAD to protect the school and everyone else. From discussions with my mutuals Hope and Alaric relationship to me feels very predatory. Why does a student and a teacher have private meeting to the point where his own children calls it out? That responsibility to save everyone shouldn’t have been on any student’s hands.

Legacies was all about the supernatural school. It feels very different than TVD’s supernatural beings existing in the real world. Where are the activities that young teenagers would do? Dances? Partying? Gossiping? As headmistress and Hope's step-mom, Bonnie would be the positive parental influence that she desperately needs! Bonnie would never run a school where Hope would have to feel like she is everyone’s savior.

There's something so sad about how absolutely sure Lizzie is that she's broken. She's had this ingrained into her head since she was eleven that there was something wrong with her. Her parents tell her there's not, of course, but they're hardly around. Their influence is so small compared to the one family member who is a constant in her life that is always making her feel like she's less-than and a burden.

Josie's the only one around her to see what's going on, to see how much she suffers and struggles, and she takes every opportunity to remind Lizzie that being there for her isn't free. She's already convinced there's something fundamentally wrong with her and now she thinks she's accruing debt just for asking for help, just because Josie demands payment in return for empathy.

She tries so hard to help people. She makes the Sewing Club for a girl in her class who is feeling left out, she gives new kids tours of the school and offers to be their friend, she makes all of the witches come up with a new dance routine to cater to Josie's ideas, she tries to join the Honor Council so she can do things like convince her dad to let kids like Landon stay and have a home and things like making sure the school is a safe place from these new monsters. And then at every single corner, she gets these attempts thrown back in her face or her peers pretend like they never happened. She's so sure that it must be her. There must be something wrong with her that makes them hate her so much.

Even when she finds out that her sister read her diary to the class and was the one who told everyone about her bipolar diagnosis, she's so forgiving. She lets go of a ten-year-long feud with Hope the moment Hope apologizes and acknowledges her. She's always forgiving MG for crossing boundaries and hurting her. She thinks that if she's nice enough to them, maybe eventually they'll be nice back. She kills herself trying.

She sacrifices her life over and over and over again without batting and eye and this is perhaps the most concerning thing about her mental state but she thinks it's the greatest and only thing she has to offer. She's willing to die for her friends and her family and her classmates, only for them to immediately turn around and call her selfish for it, to laugh at her funeral after she's laid down her life for them again. And she just doesn't understand how that's possible. She thinks it has to be her fault. It must be, she must have done it wrong.

She tries to be the strong one, she tries to shoulder the burden her sister always talks about, and then she gets beaten down for taking up too much space, for casting too big of a shadow. She tries to be the hero, breaks her back trying to save the day, like her father always talks about in Hope, and then she gets lectured about how that's not important. She tries to live her own life, tries to not suffocate Josie, and in turn, she gets told that she was too self-centered and distant. No matter what she does, it's never enough. She's convinced that she's not enough.

Her whole life she hears that her disorder isn't an excuse, that she should just take her meds even if they make her feel awful, that she should just try harder, that her disorder isn't real, that it's her own fault, that she's just doing it for attention, that she's delusional or lying or crazy or all three.

She has no idea how deeply that's sunk into her very being until Aurora starts telling her that people will always try to tell her that she's broken and that she can't believe them. And Lizzie's so close to figuring it out. So close. She knows what Aurora went through wasn't her fault, that Tristan was the problem. She's almost figured out that what she went through isn't her fault, that Josie is the problem.

She's adamant that her family would never have done what Aurora's did to her in her day. She doesn't see that they've done worse. It's such a shame that she only finally got there in the last season and her story was cut abruptly before it really got started.

I hope wherever Lizzie Saltzman ended up, whatever Season 5 would have had in store for her, she remembered that she's not broken.

And it’s fuck Alaric saltzman forever but it’s another fuck you to the writers. Those kids shouldn’t have been placed in prison worlds but another thing is why was Bennett blood so freely for the taking? Zero bodily autonomy for Bonnie even when she isn’t in the picture. No respect to her bloodline as usual.

Klaus finding out that Alaric “I wanted hope to be a guard dog for my children who I fail to take care of” Saltzman has gone and Caroline, the woman he loved, will now be taking over the school and being the main parental influence in hopes life and being like “finally now I can really be at peace”

We were robbed of a Tyler Lockwood/Lizzie Saltzman relationship

Let's be honest here: if Julie Plec wasn't an idiot - and Caroline's pregnancy still happened - there is NO way Tyler wouldn't have been something to Lizzie and Josie's lives.

Now, I get it. People grow apart, relationships change, and we can all agree (especially his stans) that Tyler Lockwood needed to get his ass out of Mystic Falls! But let's be honest, while Tyler may have moved on from Caroline - it shouldn't mean he didn't have some relationship with her kids.

What do I mean? Case in point: Tyler knew or had some relationship with the Gemini Coven and its prominent family, the Parkers. He faced the Travelers, the Gemini's enemies, and saved Liz Forbes (Lizzie's surrogate grandmother & namesakes) from being possessed by a Traveler at the cost of being possessed himself. Not to mention, he knew about the Merge and protected his deceased then-girlfriend (Lizzie and Josie's aunt Olivia) from her coven and helped her grief when her twin brother, Lukas, died in the Merge with Kai to protect Jo. And as he worked with the Armory, he probably knew a lot more stuff.

In essence, Tyler had a good chunk of personal history he could have shared with the twins.

Furthermore, if you look at Legacies as a whole, Lizzie had gone through a lot of things Tyler went through:

Heightened emotions & prone to anger - Bipolar Disorder and Anger Issues

Felt unloved and/or betrayed by their fathers - Alaric Saltzman & Richard Lockwood

Used or disrespected by loved ones

Former bullies turned friends with their victims

Misunderstood with few willing to see past their personas - MG & Matt/Jeremy

Popular students in school

More than willing to get involved in school activities

Loyal to their loved ones and friends

Always trying to change and be better people

Unhealthy coping methods - Sex, drinking, and breaking things (interchangeably)

Undeniable love/appreciation for Caroline

Taken advantage by vampires/adults older than them (for Tyler, Klaus, and Kelly Donovan - for Lizzie, Sebastian)

Willingness to do anything and risk their lives for their friends

Easily accepted their Hybrid statuses despite the circumstances of their transitions

Been sire-bonded to a Mikaelson (Klaus/Hope)

(Above) Broken free from their sire bond (Klaus/Hope)

Sought out to get justice for their hurt/dead parent (again by Klaus/Hope)

Learned to move on passed revenge

There's a lot more if you keep digging, but it says a lot about how similar they are. And while Lizzie did get the better end of the stick with Hope, it says so much just how much Lizzie has gone through and - if done right - how much Tyler could have been an important figure to her, helping her work through her darker moments because HE'S BEEN THERE!

(And let's be honest: Tyler survived casual abuse and manipulation from Richard Lockwood, shadiness from his Uncle Mason, and slavery from KLAUS MIKAELSON! With all that and his ability to see the truth - you know he would be a foot away from beating Alaric's ass for being a shitty parent. Like Lizzie, they had also been through similar events, and Tyler would call out Alaric's BS parenting!)

Can we talk about how weird it is they made Caroline and alaric parents to the Gemini twins it was so random and gross alaric was a boring character anyways he didn't need to be jo then Caroline baby daddy

I never liked Alaric as a character even before Legacies, I would've preferred him to die over Jenna. His dynamic with Damon is interesting, but they should've kept him dead after season three.

The situation with Caroline's pregnancy was very gross. She didn't have a choice over having two babies put inside of her and they weren't going to let her have an abortion. Tvd is just really bad at consent and addressing this types of things.

chile i feel ima get attacked for saying this but why is that each time whenever hope, j*sie, and lizzie (aka the yt characters) do something bad, they get praised and get babied by the fandom but whenever characters like landon, rafael, cleo, kaleb, alyssa and finch do something bad (aka the poc characters) which is either minor or they’re justified in doing that action, they get bashed and the actors that play them get called racist comments, especially aria (landon), peyton (raf), courtney (finch) and omono (cleo). if yall finna call out the pocs for doing something bad (which most of the time, they’re justified, minor or they didn’t mean to do it), do the same for hope and the twins.

The MF gang is so lucky I wasn’t writing for Stefan, because….

“Elena, remember when I lost all my memories and you decided to re-enact how we fell in love knowing you were currently with my brother? I just want to know what your thought process was behind that.”

“I just find it weird, Caroline, that you’re so mad at me for leaving to go on the run, as if I didn’t ask you to come with me and you shot me down to play house with Alaric. Make it make sense.”

“Matt, you don’t want the smoke. I know you think you do—I’m telling you that you don’t, though.”

“Enzo, don’t let me catch you slacking. That’s it, that’s all.”

“You know, Alaric, I often find myself thinking that you should’ve just gone on to find peace instead of coming back. In all honesty.”

Y'know if any of Hope's four parents had survived, none of the shit Alaric put her through would've happened, and Alaric would subsequently have been curb-stomped by each one of them.

I say four cause Cami and Jackson both cared for Hope as if she were their own daughter.

Hope might as well been a faculty member the way they got her running around doing things.

Caroline finally becoming headmistress in the series finale makes so much sense because with her in charge the school would have a competent teacher, her kids/surrogate kids would have a competent parental figure and there would never be any problems, therefore, if she’d been in charge sooner there would have been no plot
