#i refuse to believe klaus was ever in limbo or didn’t find peace after he died

[landonkirbyappreciation]

It’s the fact that limbo shouldn’t even exist. It literally came out of nowhere, there is no explanation for it. There was never any mention of it or indication that it existed in any of tvd/to. You’re telling me with all the people who died in those shows that we wouldn’t have heard about it? There was the other side, there was Cade’s hell, there was the ancestral well, which were all destroyed. But there had never been anything about limbo, and not in legacies either until 4x03. Landon died in 2x15 and was literally about to go to peace in 3x01, he was walking to the light, and it was not limbo. Yes, he was in a sort of limbo state, but not the actual limbo dimension. He didn’t have to cross a lake, there was no dock, no ferryman. We’ve seen characters end up in a limbo state in the other shows too (like Bonnie in the forest with Elena or Stefan at the high school with Elena in the tvd finale, for example). Which is sort of like their own personal limbo where they’re at temporarily before either coming back to life or finding peace. So it made sense to see Landon in a similar state in the cemetery before he nearly went to peace. And he certainly didn’t need a coin or anything to do that, it was just right there waiting for him, which is consistent with the other shows. Then they decided to create this literal limbo dimension, which was clearly just for the sake of having a place to trap Landon in to make him suffer even more. And they provide no real explanation for it or how it exists or how it came to be. Or why Landon didn’t end up there in 3x01, why literally no other character before 4x03 has ever ended up there. It’s just there all of a sudden for no good reason, or we’re supposed to believe it’s always been there, and now everyone who dies ends up there? We’re supposed to believe the other characters who died in the past, like possibly Klaus, ended up there? (And somehow all these dead people, like Elvis, happen to be in Mystic Falls as well?) It’s ridiculous and makes no sense. It’s like they’ll retcon whatever they have to just as a way to keep screwing Landon over.

#text #s4 #my posts #this has bugged me all season #i truly hate limbo so much #they really went crazy with greek mythology #or whatever mythology it is idk #and retconned everything to make tvdu based on that #after the writers of tvd/to spent years creating their own original universe #that wasn’t based on anything in particular #just their own stories they created #with their own original characters #then the legacies writers came and wiped it away #with their weird obsession with greek gods and mythology #no originality or logic or creativity whatsoever #i can’t #and also #i refuse to believe klaus was ever in limbo or didn’t find peace after he died #he’s been with elijah and hayley and cami since he died #the line about him not finding peace till hope does was not meant to be literal my gosh
