Klaus: Has anyone seen my séance candle?
Diego: You mean the one you light to talk to the dead?
Klaus: No, the one I light to set the mood for my bath.

Uhh…Allison rumoring Luther…is literally assault. I get that she’s lost a lot but that isn’t an excuse to literally force him against his well, especially when he told her not to. I can’t stand her this season I’m sorry 😭

YOU KNOW WHAT?! IM GONNA TALK ABOUT IT! I’M GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW INSTANTLY KLAUS AND SPARROW!BEN LATCHED ONTO EACH OTHET AND WHY
Ben was Klaus’s only constant for decades. They bickered and fought constantly but they’re brothers, they love each other. When Ben died, Klaus was relieved that Ben was finally able to move on and find peace, but he still missed him, it’s clear as day in how he regards Sparrow!Ben when they first meet.
However, that’s all fairly surface level, stated clearly in the show itself. What’s less evident is that Ben has never had a friend before. I believe he says this, but I haven’t seen anyone truly pick it apart. His family was even faker than the Umbrellas’. They got along better, but they were more business partners than anything else. They spent their whole lives together, but barely got to know each other because their whole life is a publicity stunt. They’re under constant watch and judgement not just from their dad, but from the whole city and even each other. They worked so hard to be good at their jobs that they never were allowed to figure out who they were outside of them, even to each other. Ben isn’t deeply affected by losing his siblings because he doesn’t know how to mourn a relationship that lacked any authenticity. They worked together to be the perfect unit, so anything that didn’t fit into that image was hidden away, especially from the others because they *will* use that against you. And they spent every moment together, so none of them were ever allowed to be anything less than what was expected of them. Ben never got the opportunity to find out who he was outside of the guy on the billboards.
Then in walks Klaus, someone who knows Ben better than he knows himself. He knows the Ben that was allowed to be real, the Ben that was allowed to experience emotions other than stoicism and anger, the Ben that learned unshielded love through constant companionship with Klaus. Sparrow!Ben was never given the chance to become that, but seeing the absolute mess that is the Umbrellas, he finds that he wants it. He wants to be a mess, to be allowed to feel, to be accepted even when you screw up. He doesn’t know how to be the version of himself that earned that type of love, but then Klaus tells him that being real was what made Ben so easy to love.
And then they’re hanging off of each other the rest of the night. Don’t you dare make it weird (glares at Netflix), these losers are touch deprived. They’re clingy as hell in the most platonic way possible because do you think Sparrow!Ben has ever received any sort of physical affection? How many years has Klaus been metaphorically leaning on Ben before he finally learned to do so literally, only to lose him almost instantly? They each so desperately need the support the other is longing to give, okay?! They just want hugs, your honor.

Ben: Why did you draw a mustache on my portrait?
Klaus: I thought it added character.
Ben: I'm already a ghost, how much more character do you want to add?

also I said this last season and I'm standing by it- it would've made more sense if Viktor had been living at the Cooper's farm longer than like two months. his attachment towards them would've been easier for the family to understand, at least- idk it seemed like to me this season that Viktor was very much motivated to save Harlan bc he viewed himself as Harlan's parent but he didn't want to SAY that in fear of Allison's feelings which is. a lot. it also could've added to the drama bc while Allison viewed killing Harlan as vengeance Viktor could've viewed it as 'your kid's dead so you killed my kid' which like. could've been interesting
