Why is Caroline better for Klaus than Cami? ;)
Well, considering how torqued up so many people seem to be about Klamille in the last few days this seems like the right time to respond to this question. Honestly I avoided it for a while because the answer seems obvious to me, but I guess seeing as Klamille seems to be taking a front seat in the TO narrative for the first time in a long time I guess it’s worth it to examine why the imitation Klaroline fails to live up to it’s predecessor, and more importantly why Klamille has and will continue to fail to find any traction with the audience. So, here’s the abbreviated overview of why Caroline works for Klaus in ways that Cami doesn’t.
1. Because Caroline is an actual person. Okay, I know that Caroline isn’t an actual person in the literal sense. She is however a fully formed and developed character who existed independently long before Klaus came into her life and continues to exist now that he’s gone. And I know that my opinion that Cami could still work as a character isn’t one that’s shared by the majority of the fandom, but I do have to sadly agree with the majority on one thing. Despite whatever potential she may have in the future, as of now Cami is not a character. She is a prop, a satellite to Klaus, and her entire purpose in the TO narrative is to serve Klaus’ interests. And ironically that’s one of the things killing Klamille and hurting both characters individually, Cami isn’t good for Klaus because she brings no new dimension to his character and she offers no comparison or contrast to him because she’s simply there for his sake as a character. Caroline is better for Klaus than Cami is because she isn’t just a sounding board that exists for Klaus’ benefit.
2. Because Klaus doesn’t need to be babied. I mean, I don’t know what’s so difficult for certain writers to grasp about this, but Klaus really doesn’t need people falling all over him to soothe his manpain. In fact, one of the biggest reasons Klaus is such a monstrous narcissistic freak is because he has built his entire world around his own wants and whims, regardless of the consequences for others. The idea that someone fawning over him like it’s their job would somehow lead Klaus to some great revelation or character development is insane, because it’s exactly what he’s had for his entire life and quite frankly it’s just common sense that no person is going to develop in an echo chamber (which is basically what Cami is to him at this point). What makes Caroline such a relevant and important character in Klaus’ overall development is that SHE FORCES HIM TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP. She doesn’t treat him like a poor wounded animal who’s just lashing out because he’s in pain, she treats him like a person who is responsible and culpable for his own choices. THIS is what Klaus needs in order to develop, he needs to be forced to not only make his own decisions, but to take responsibility for those decisions.
3. Because Klaus is not a good person. This is obviously tangentially related to my last point, but yeah, Cami’s unwavering faith in humanity and Klaus in particular is fucking insane. Not only is it completely baseless because Cami has pretty much zero reason to believe that Klaus is a good person, but by constantly putting her faith in Klaus’ underlying goodness she’s alleviating him of a metric fuckton of responsibility for the abhorrent behavior HE CHOOSES TO ENGAGE IN. Klaus has chosen to do a lot of really horrible things, so for anyone let alone a HUMAN WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUPERNATURAL UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO to be dealing with a millennium old serial killer on any kind of woobifying level is legit batshit insane. One of my huge problems with comparisons like Klaroline vs. Klamille is that so many people resort to the “well Caroline treats Klaus like he’s a horrible person”. ARE YOU FOR FUCKING REALSIES RIGHT NOW? Klaus IS a fucking horrible person, and guess what, if you meet Ted Bundy irl weeping over what a horrendous childhood he had or how misunderstood he is by everyone around him is fucking nuts. And yes we’re dealing with a supernatural world, but Cami is a human who lived outside of that supernatural world for the vast majority of her life, so her reaction to Klaus is completely batshit crazy. Caroline’s reaction is the normal reaction, and it’s the kind of treatment that Klaus has earned.
4. Because a relationship shouldn’t be easy for Klaus. As I said, Klaus is a terrible person. He made that bed, and now he has to lie in it. He shouldn’t be able to find a pretty young girl that strikes his fancy and just expect her to fall at his feet swooning. On that principle alone Cami is a horrible choice for him, and the fact that Caroline refused to budge on her own rules and decisions even though she had a connection with Klaus makes her the obvious choice in that context.
5. Because Klaus would never reasonably become emotionally invested in a relationship like Klamille. Klaus, well at least TVD!Klaus, was an incredibly intelligent and manipulative character. Klaus knew what kind of a person he was and knew how others saw him, and honestly he would just never become emotionally involved with someone like Cami because he’d know that she was naive enough to believe his manipulations and wasn’t really capable of seeing the real him. One of the reasons I’ve always thought Klaus was drawn to Caroline was because that she didn’t see him as either a wounded bird or as the evil mastermind, she’s really one of the only people to grasp the complexity that is Klaus and see every facet of the person he is and chooses to be, and that’s really the only kind of relationship Klaus could ever have with anyone. He could never love someone that he thought couldn’t or wouldn’t see who he is.
6. Because Caroline develops Klaus’ character while Cami just explains it. And this is really a big problem with Cami in general, but it’s an exceptional problem when it comes to Klaus because A. he’s the lead of the show and B. because Cami’s entire purpose in the TO narrative revolves around Klaus. But really, the writers have created the most epic cheat of all time with Cami, because they use her “psychological expertise” to just explain whatever it is the other characters are thinking and feeling. That’s some pretty lazy writing and it’s pretty boring to watch, especially when it comes to the lead of the show. When Klaus interacted with Caroline it always felt like we were discovering some undiscovered facet of Klaus as a character, or better yet we were watching Klaus be confronted with a difficult choice he’d never faced before and watching his character develop before our eyes. With Klamille we’re just watching someone explain how Klaus is feeling, there’s nothing challenging or new about it and it feels like we’re just being spoon-fed information (not to mention the fact that there’s no development actually happening and we’re just being told what to think makes it much harder to believe in TO!Klaus as a character).
7. Because they’re a horrible example to set for the audience. Okay, obviously this doesn’t have a lot to do with Klaus, but Jesus, maybe let’s not idealize a relationship where a woman’s life revolve completely around a random douchebag that isn’t even her boyfriend and act like this is the pinnacle of romance.
8. Because they’re miserable to watch. Again, not exactly having to do with Klaus, but mother of god how could I not include it in the list. They stare at each other, they cry, they pretentiously wax poetic about each other and themselves, they cry, they talk about their families, they cry, they talk about babies, they cry, they faux threaten each other, they cry. They never do anything remotely interesting with each other and while I don’t expect Klaus to be Captain Sunshine by a long shot I really don’t understand why the writers think these two emo nutjobs staring at each other with faces like smacked asses would be compelling television. And a lot of people give Caroline a lot of shit for being “shallow” because she dares to smile on a regular basis, but really, Klaus could use a little pleasantness in his life, especially since TO!Klaus is basically the saddest living being on planet earth. Also it doesn’t suck for the audience to not be assaulted non-stop with the whiniest cast of depressive weirdo characters in the history of fiction.
When I mean I screamed for half an hour I was not joking!!!!
@ F1 you can't see or wut?
I love them, and Pierre is me and my bestie all the time

************************************************************************ Aonung has always loved Kiri, he fell in love from the moment he saw her beautiful face, her beautiful rebellious black hair, her beautiful hands (although they have an extra finger)…. he wants to be more than his friend, he really wants to be with her every time he saw her sad, after Neteyam's death, everything he had wanted with Kiri increased, Also to her. After she and your family became Metkayina permanently and officially, Aonung saw new opportunities to tell her his feelings
************************************************************************ After the celebration of the Sully family as part of the Clan of Aonung's family, he observes Kiri with the others celebrating and laughing, in a way that made Aonung want to hold her hand and dance with her. When he finds her on the beach, he decides to give her a courtship gift. And so tell Kiri his feelings at last
************************************************************************ One night, Aonung had decided that it was time to confess his feelings to her for a long time and he wanted to tell her his feelings, now it was much easier since she had Metkayina. Aonung left his cabin and took the small necklace he had made for her, he honestly didn't know how he had done it, since they weren't exactly good for that kind of delicate crafts. Aonung soon found Kiri sitting on the beach looking at the night sky the freckles on his skin shone like the stars, there was a beach that was quite far from the clan, he knew perfectly well that his beloved would be there, watching the waves come and go or just humming a sweet melody, and so it was, when he arrived he heard that sweet voice that He approached in silence, he didn't want to accidentally scare her and sat carefully next to her, when Kiri turned around and saw him, she smiled at him sweetly
"What are you doing here, Aonung?"
She asked as she looked into his eyes with curiosity
"I wanted to give you something"
He told her this one, while he carefully took the necklace he had made for her, Kiri kept looking at him. Aonung blushed and asked him doubtful
"Can I give it to you if you want?"
"Of course you can put it on, Ao'nung"
He said this as he raised his back to make it easier for Aonung to put on the necklace, which had a beautiful shell as its main accessory. Aonung, being as careful as possible, put the necklace around his neck, at that moment I feel a gigantic temptation, his neck. He was exposed, he didn't even resist his desire and took his mouth to his neck, his mouth grazed his shoulder and deposited a sweet kiss on his neck. Kiri let out a gasp at such contact, she blushed violently, she had loved Aonung for a long time, the truth was that she felt much more than friendship towards the metkayina, her heart beat quite fast every time she saw him and a blush was visible on her face. And it felt like it was getting wet. With a slight gasp, he said with his eyes closed
"Aonung…"
He immediately reacted by moving away from his neck
"I'm sorry, so much, I didn't want to do that.… I'm sorry"
She just turned around, looked him in the eyes and decidedly told the metkayina that she had stolen her heart, for a long time
"I love you, Aonung." He said as his blush increased when he said it
Aonung was speechless, but he reacted immediately, the kiss, a needy and loving kiss, moved his lips over hers, hit him more, their bodies collided and he felt in the clouds
"Aonung…"
Kiri groaned in the middle of the kiss, both separated, joined their foreheads and Aonung mentioned
"I love you too, Kiri"
He told him with a smile and added
"I love you, as I have never loved anyone, I love you as you are, I love everything about you, from your hair to the tips of your feet"
"I have also loved you, Aonung, for a long time, even though sometimes you are a fool"
He told him as he laughed and smiled at him. Aonung smiled and kissed her again. They separated due to lack of air, he helped her get up and said
"Come with me, my love, I want to show you a place"
"¿My love?"
She mentioned that blushing and moved she was funny
"Yes, that will be my loving nickname for you from now on"
he told him before kissing his lips and taking his hand to go together
"my love, now come with me"
He told her as she was carrying in her arms like a princess and walked away from the beach
"Where are we going?"
She asked with doubts
"You'll see it soon"
He told her in her ear, in the most seductive way, what made her tremble and blush, understanding what they would do in a certain place
They arrived at that unknown place, it was unknown to Kiri but it was not for Aonung, it was a cave, it was something small but at the same time spacious and beautiful, there was all kinds of vegetation, from large palm trees to small mosses, these glowed in the dark, which made you see that place more beautiful than it was for the eyes of the two teenagers Kiri put her hand and felt the fish approaching her and while she moved her hand the fish followed her, she smiled, that feeling was very pleasant. ...Aonung just looked at her, seeing her every day made him happy. He liked to see her smile since what mattered to him was that. ... Your happiness. ...Soon he approached her, knelt down and delicately grabbed her waist. He put his mouth to his ear and whispered to him
"You are beautiful..."
And he delicately bit his lobe, he received a moan in response, a sweet moan that led him to continue, to unite... to mate with her. Kiri shuddered when she felt the high touch of the metkayina's hands on her waist, and her breath grazed her neck, each caress made her shudder, she loved Aonung, she wanted to be hers, to be his wife, but her nerves were dyed at that moment. Aonung began to kiss his shoulder delicately, he soon made Kiri turn around and look him in the eyes, doubtful, I ask him
"¿Are you sure about this?"
He told her, looking into her eyes, looking at insecurity or fear
"Yes, yes, I'm sure... I'm just very nervous"
She told her a little nervous, she tilted Kiri's lips they had a fresh flavor, like a freshly cut, juicy and ripe fruit, they would surely be the new addiction of the metkayina, she deepened that kiss, she inserted her tongue into her cavity, that small space was fucking delicious, their tongues waged a war, they intertwined and their
"Stupid oxygen"
Aonung told her before kissing her again, then she began to kiss her again even more passionately than before, she slowly stood over Kiri's body, on top of her legs
"I can't believe you really love me, I'm mestizo with demon blood on my body"
When he heard her say that, Aonung separated enough to look at her, before kissing her forehead and taking her braid
"I already chose you as my wife, kiri"
Aonung told him before caressing his cheek while he looked at it, when he heard it Kiri's eyes lit up before telling him the following
"You need to accept me too"
He said he was still looking at her
"I had already chosen you Aonung for a long time I want to be your wife"
He told her before taking her braid and putting it between the two
"I want to be just yours Aonung"
Upon hearing Kiri say those words, she and Aonung intertwined their braids feeling the union of their feelings before looking and starting to kiss again, soon kissed her again even more passionate than before. Love and passion, lust and desire was what both young people overflowed at that moment, they separated from that kiss, Aonung began to go down his neck leaving marks on his way and the occasional bite, he soon came to the accessories that Kiri used to cover her breasts, he carefully took it off knowing that he would need it later to get dressed again and thus not get naked from the upper part of his body
"Ahhh"
Aonung heard Kiri moan when she left her breasts visible, what was heard from Kiri next. It was when he felt how Aonung approached his face, he began to kiss his breasts before licking them while he began to caress them, Aonung took his breasts and began to massage them, he heard Kiri moan at such contact
"Kiri, believe me, I'm trying to contain myself... but you don't make it easy for me"
Kiri groaned as he felt Aonung's tongue slide down his nipples, at the same time that Aonung caressed his crotch. Kiri, blinded by the pleasure that was invading her by Aonung's caresses in her body she desperately, answered
"Aonung No pairs....Ahh....please, Aonung no pairs"
Aonung approached his ear, telling him the following
"I didn't plan to do it, my love..."
In one movement, Aonung removed Kiri's loincloth, leaving her completely naked in his sight. He got up, the view he had of her, how to say it... it was... exciting. Her bangs were almost covering her eyes to her, Aonung sweetly took it off looking at her flushed face, her lips slightly swollen, her breasts free and exposed to her delight, her gaze lost in pleasure and lust, it was a fucking exciting show for the future Olo'eykan of the metkayina. Aonung put her on top of her legs while she put hers on the sides of her waist, still sitting on the floor of the crow and both hugged each other, he stroked her back, while Kiri without him noticing untied his hair gathered in a chongo, leaving those curls free
"You know that I almost never let anyone touch my hair, but for you I can always make an exception"
Then I kissed her, a soft and slow kiss, which showed all the love that Aonung had for Kiri. Soon Aonung laid Kiri on the floor before putting on top of her, he took off his loincloth before putting his face on top of his, he sweetly took his wrists and placed them above his head, she was again at his mercy and defenseless before Aonung looked at her breasts again, they were small, but for him they were perfect.… for Kiri it was literally. Aonung took off his loincloth and placed it gently putting himself in his entrance
"Kiri, it's going to hurt at first, but I promise you it won't be for long"
Aonung told him as he gently grabbed his legs
"Please just do it"
Kiri said anxiously, her wet and throbbing intimacy, she urgently needed Aonung's member, she entered slowly, so as not to cause her pain, Kiri screamed in pain, Aonung kissed her on her lips, shoulders and breasts. Soon the pain turned into pleasure and Kiri swayed his hips as a sign that Aonung could already move, he began slow and soft attacks full of delicacy and love, Kiri was going crazy with the pleasure that Aonung was giving him
"But Aonung... give me more please"
Kiri desperately begged Aonung
"As you wish, my love"
Aonung increased her speed, while Kiri was ecstatic with her body
"No one else can touch you, kiss you and feel you except me"
He said as he delved into his onslaught
"YES, I'm just yours Aonung"
She said excitedly. Before kissing again. When they both felt like they were at their limit, before Ao'nung left her. Kiri wanted more, he needed Ao'nung again, he needed his member inside. She stood on top of him, while Aonung was under her, Kiri sat on his legs, and began to make small jumps on him now riding him, he whispered to her
"You want to feel me again, it's not like that"
She nodded desperately, while doing that, Aonung who just couldn't stand it anymore, quickly put Kiri back under him, while he penetrated her and gave her kisses at the same time
"Ahhh"
Kiri groaned when he felt so much pleasure again. Aonung set the rhythm, the moans that came out of Kiri were music to Aonung's ears
"!AONUNG¡"
She groaned when she felt her vaginal walls contract and was released. A wave of emotions and sensations invaded both Kiri and Aonung at that time, she had had her first orgasm, with the person she loved and who loved her in the same way. Aonung came out of it and they both lay down hugging together in the grass he believed in the earth. Aonung looking into his eyes mentioned
"I love you, my love"
She responds before falling asleep in the arms of her beloved now life partner
"I love you too, Ma Aonung"
And he closed his eyes falling into a deep sleep. He kissed his forehead and fell asleep next to THE woman he loved.
THE END
************************************************************************
I have always felt that Athena was the most dangerous olympian, she choose the right side from day one and when the time comes...
she will strike.
I like exploring Athena's perspective. Considered the favoured child and the one most likely to side with Zeus for the simple reason that he is the king and she is his general, he may be wrong but most often than not, she can make him right.
But if you think about it. Her mother, the first queen (a child born of a king and a queen, a wife and a husband, one of the only children of Zeus that was spared Hera's wrath and even freely given her respect because she isn't a bastard), was taken and imprisoned by Zeus in his body together with Athena still in her womb. And then she was sent away to the oceans to be raised by Triton and along Pallas, her sister (a partner no matter the interpretation), who Zeus causes the death of because of the fear of a superficial damage to his pride (Athena who was raised in the ocean and saw the last of it on that day, high up in her pedestal, owl eyes just barely glimpsing the sea that once cared for her).
And then you tell me that Athena the strategist, who unlike Ares has the smarts and the foresight to set aside honour and noble intentions, and cheat and lie and deceive anyone who stands between her and her goal, the patron of politicians and manipulators, who can wear wisdom and glory and make them weapons sharper than her spear if need so, a weaver perhaps in a similar sense as the Fates and against them, is not just waiting for the right time, preparing the right pieces to topple the King's crown and might?

FREDDY CARTER, JACK WOLFE AND AMITA SUMAN At Empire Conventions in Paris
Okay Kol, Darling I know you are mad but please don't hurt Caroline, please. Also you make your siblings pay, they deserve it
What’s this? A snippet of something I started a long long time ago and never followed through but damn do I wish I had because even I - a super modest hates my work most of the time writer - am impressed? Okay, you twisted my arm.
“It’s incredibly lonely on the other side. While you all went on living your lives with one less brother to worry about, I was stuck behind an invisible barrier watching.” He laughed. “I mean, the least you could have done was entertain me!”
“Tell us how you came back, Kol,” Klaus urged again.
“Nik’s hostile take over of New Orleans lasted all of two minutes. And Rebekah, repeating history, falling right back under Marcel’s spell? What a snooze. But then, Elijah’s love life was even more wretched to watch, wallowing over his lost doppleganger. Did you know she’s human now? Your dear Elena shoved the cure right down her throat. But by all means, continue glorifying my murderer!” He ran his index finger across his lip, and glanced to Klaus with an afterthought. “By the way, congratulations on fatherhood. No doubt you’ll follow right in Mikael’s footsteps.”
“Kol!” Rebekah scolded as he crossed a line.
“Oh come on, darling. Don’t pretend it hasn’t crossed your mind. Nik isn’t nurturing enough to father a child. Besides. What will Caroline think?” He smiled slowly as Klaus’ eyes went cold. “Do you know she shed a tear for you the night you left Mystic Falls?”
“Why are you doing this, Kol? We’ve done nothing wrong!” she cried.
“Exactly. You did nothing! You never gave my passing a second thought. Nik’s the only one who gave a damn. For about a day and a half, until Caroline so politely disposed of my body. Remind me to thank her for her kindness when I see her.”
Klaus stepped forward, glowering. “If you so much as blink in her direction - “
“Always with the threats. You think I’m afraid to die again? On the contrary, the other side wasn’t quite so bad. Lonely. But at least it gave me plenty of time to exact my revenge.”
“You’re going to get back at us for moving on with our lives instead of grieving forever?” Rebekah was appalled.
“What grief? You went on to be girlfriends with my murderer. Elijah continuously keeps her up on a pedestal - ”
“Then take it out on her!”
“Oh, I plan to. But what was that little oath you three made amongst yourselves centuries ago?” He paused, his eyes glinting with bitterness. “Family above all.” He shook his head in disapproval. “Some family. Not once did any of you even consider the idea of bringing me back. I had to be resurrected by a witch I can’t stand and can’t kill!”
“We get it,” Elijah conceded. “You’re angry.”
“I am angry. You have yet to feel my vengeance. Everything you love, everything you’ve all worked so hard for will crash and burn. And I’ll be all too happy to sit back and watch you beg for mercy as you learn how it feels to be alone, with nothing and no one who cares.”
“Enough,” Klaus demanded. “Honestly, Kol. Dramatics aren’t really your style. Just let it go.”
He raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You don’t believe me? Fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He was gone in a whoosh and Rebekah nearly gasped, stepping forward, eyes wide. “Where did he go?”
Persephone: My dear brother Ares and dear sister Athena... last time I was in Underworld, me and my husband had little time for each other because your war flood our realm with so many deads. In case you plan to repeat that next winter... let me remind you Me and Hades know how to find you and unless you both want to visit Tartarus, DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE.
