The Way The Originals Eventually Made Rebekah's Character Be Mainly All About Motherhood Was Offputting.

The way The Originals eventually made Rebekah's character be mainly all about motherhood was offputting. Tvdu has an story of making women be obssesed with being a parent to a child or making them be one, but they took that to another whole level with Rebekah.

The way she speaks of it - it's like more than her wanting to be a mother, it's needing to be one. After all, Rebekah was born in an age where women were seen as breeding mares and viking women were married extremely young, as early as twelve and as late as fifteen, I imagine she was being courted by the time she died or that she was getting ready to be thrown off to some man and be his wife, so it would make sense for her character to be dragging all that trauma once she turned, because other characters did too: Klaus dragged his parent's abuse his whole life, Elijah had the whole "red door" thing going on, Kol lost his magic and became bitter because of it, Finn was suicidal and etc. I mean, Rebekah probably grew up thinking that the only way to prove her value as a woman was to have a child and/or to have a husband.

Like, it would make sense and it would make her character more complex, instead of people just labeling her as "Rosalie 2.0" or "Barbie Klaus", but of course that would mean then that tvdu writers would have to actually be interested in their characters and we all know that isn't possible.

THOR: RAGNAROK

Exactly this! Caroline was the one being a complete and utter bitch without reason and her only reason was "Elena is always the one everyone picks". Like ofc she is, she isn't the one being fucking mean 💀

Don't even get me started with the way her fans cry about how Bonnie "wasn't there" for Caroline once she turned. She had every single reason not to be

I still maintain that that in s1, Caroline was the one treating Bonnie like shit and Bonnie was just not taking it.

#lizzie you were never second best!

I miss Thor and Loki. Someone please bring them back to me.
