did u know they used real traditional witch craft in the originals

carina searched up old spells and would switch the words around and add them to the script until someone from New Orleans called them when s2 was airing and told them to stop

but they still didnt

Once again white people taking over shit that doenst belong to them and then dismissing the actual concerns

Okay, i just woke up and Im sick so if its some errors in this im sorry lol. Brain is not functioning atm - massive headaches & all.

Yeah! I’ve seen that video on tiktok recently not only did Carina Mackenzie admitted she struggle writing spells but continued to google and use someone else’s culture. Then her and Riley both laughed about the phone call. Weird as hell given that’s someone’s actual culture and practice.

There’s one thing to not believe in someone’s culture (juju, voodoo, hoodoo…) etc but if you’re constantly pulling and nitpicking at it for your own content you have no room to label someone crazy. It’s even worst when you look TO’s version of New Orleans compared to other versions of New Orleans in media. Everyone in TO’s version is white, besides a few characters but for the majority from the main cast to the background characters are white. Yet, you have New Orleans depicted in Princess in the frog—diverse, AHS:Coven-diverse. We really didn’t get black main characters (and they were temporary) until fans complained and TO frequently did a body-jump as placeholders.

There’s also another instance of how the writers took and manipulated culture is in (2x13) when the wolves are throwing/laying brooms at Jayley’s door, which Jackson explained “jumping the broom” meant jumping into bed with your partner. When jumping the broom was created during slavery and never about rushing to have sex with your partner.

There’s more to name that occurred but yeah white people will use up someone else’s culture and get mad you dare correct them on it. I mean look at how they react when black women tell them not to wear box braids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“You’re not a mikealson get over it” kol says as he stands next to a woman who is only treated as one because she gave birth his niece and fuck two of his brothers while the person he says this to was adopted by his brother and sleeps with his sister…. You see the hypocrisy

hi! may i ask why you don't like TO? i'm still in the process of watching TVD (i've been fighting and clawing my way through season 5 and what the FUCK is this clownery) and i was about to give up and just watch TO because honestly TVD has become so boring without the mikaelsons that not even bonnie and caroline can save it (i also know pretty much everything that happens in the show and i am decidedly NOT a fan of the magical babies and all the other crap), but i've been stalking your blog for half an hour now (not in a creepy way i promise! i just LOVE your fics and fell down a rabbit hole) and it seems like it might not be worth it?

sorry, that was honestly completely incoherent😭. please forgive me, i am having some trouble creating sentences today.

i mean, as i understand it, a magical wonderchild is the CRUX of TO's plot, and personally, i was not willing to subject myself to that. and ever since then, every single thing i have learned about TO has been against my will, and every single thing made has me go ... the fuck???? i'm sorry to say, but the impression i get is that that's a show that turned its characters into carricatures of themselves, twisted the lore into nonsense (as if it had much sense in the first place ...), and suffers from Late Series Syndrome from s1e1. so in a way, maybe i should be thankful to the magical wonderbrat #1 (i shudder to type something like that) for being such an obviously terrible plotpoint that i gave up the idea of watching immediately, so none of the more insidiously terrible plotpoints could get me.

i haven't seen it, and i have come to the conclusion that i'm happier that way, but none of that means you shouldn't watch it if you want to. who am i to tell you what to do? i just don't think you should expect it to be any more interesting than the s5 you're trudging through (and s5 is actually excellent compared to the nonsense that follows, which isn't a great compliment to s5), only infinitely more frustrating.

#wow i haven't been mean to TO in a long time this has been so refreshing #anyway nonnie you won't get me anywhere near that show with a gun thank you very much #but i feel the same about the later seasons of TVD too #sorry to say but you've already been through the best it's a downward spiral from here on #personally i don't want to subject myself to any of it ... so i don't #but if you think you may enjoy it who am i to stop you #just be aware that show's problems run much much deeper than just the twilight ripoff child #ella answers #tvd #anti to #anti cw to #lmao i don't even know the proper anti tags that's how removed i am from this #honestly just ignoring what you dislike has to be the best tactic to survive fandom ever

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary

so do you think klaus was actually redeemed by the show, and would you say Elijah's character in tvd was ruined/was ooc in the originals? (i haven't watched the show and I'm trying to decide if i should)

Some slight spoilers in this. Do I think Klaus was redeemed? No, not even in the slightest. Death by redemption only counts if it’s done correctly and that’s if the person changed prior to their death imo. Klaus didn’t change whatsoever. The series portrays Klaus’ redemption on how Hope turned out and if his family becomes better people by her existence. Which is an issue in itself. How was one little baby-to-teenaged girl supposed to fix her thousand year old relatives? The family wanted to be something better, create a better world for Hope and that never happens. Hope barely knows the Mikaelson’s in TO yet she is unfairly loaded with all their traumas and grievances and by the time the show ends she’s 14/15 or 16. (They never was accurate with her age.) I will be transparent there’s always some plot issue that kept her away from her family outside of Hayley conveniently. (I personally think think the plot functions more for Hayley than it does anyone else.) I wouldn’t say Klaus didn’t love Hope. But the way seasons 4-5 of TO are written he values that “always and forever” more than he does Hope’s life.

Yes, Elijah was arguably much better in TVD. In TVD he wasn’t always obsessed with redeeming his brother and when we first met Elijah he was very against Klaus. He appeared to have more depth to him than “all in the name of family..” Elijah Mikaelson. If the plan was to have Elijah become more insufferable so Klaus could potentially be a better person…it was poorly done because as I said. Klaus doesn’t change, nor did the rest of his family. I also want to add in how Marcel is treated by Elijah (the Mikaelson’s as a whole) but mainly through Elijah is disgustingly racist coded..which is a fault of the writers as usual. As a familiar unit the Mikaelsons are better on TO than they are TVD. But, that also varies on the sibling.

If you like the Mikaelson’s I’d say go ahead and watch. You may see some of the things I mentioned here or have a different perspective on them! But if they aren’t your favorite characters you aren’t missing much. If the baby plot isn’t your thing either I wouldn’t watch. I do want to say these opinions was formed from watching the series a couple of times.

You know if they just had to center themselves in a place where magic had a big historically background they could've just set the originals in salem to get around the here damn stuff with diversity but then they probably would've gotten annoyed that bonnie fans wanted her to be on their or her family to be explored

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?
