r/TheOriginals

Never before or since in the history of the TVDU has there quite been a one episode wonder like Papa Alphonse Bellatunde. He gets brought back to life and immediately gets to work on going belt to arse with the Originals. And of all the villains in the show, he probably genuinely gets the closest to ending them all.

Rebekah sees him, rushes him and is stopped with a *touch*. Already, on his own this guy is a match for an Original. Last time a witch went one on one with an Original and successfully put them down, her name was Abby Bennet and she LOST her powers for a decade and a half. But Papa T has more up his sleeve. He actually traps the paralysed Rebekah within a boundary spell and starts channeling all her power. And the degree to which this power enhances him is pretty fucking ridiculous. His durability is such that when Marcel snapped his neck, it IMMEDIATELY moved back into place. Not even Silas, the perfect, true Immortal can do this

When Klaus shows up to stop him, it’s not even a contest. He starts throwing Klaus around with ONE HAND. He puts the blade to Klaus’ head, Klaus’ eyes glaze over and it looks like it’s the end for ol’ wolf boy McGee.

So why doesn’t the story end here? Well because the writers basically just pull a solution out of their arse, came up with nothing, and so reached even further to come up with the following.

Elijah lets the heavily pregnant Hayley-who at this point is anywhere from six months to six years pregnant, I’ve honestly lost track with where she’s at in this clown car pregnancy- come with him to retrieve Rebekah, who has, in a city full of angry witches who just got their powers back, been left unattended. But she’s stuck behind the aforementioned barrier spell. How to get past and disconnect GOAT Tunde from his power source? Well it’s actually very simple to get around a boundary/barrier spell you see, you just have to pour something onto the salt barrier to “upset the balance”. Elijah, whose mother was a witch and has been alive for over a thousand years needs Sophie-Anne to tell him this. I mean fair play because not only has this never been given as a solution before but when we see similar circular salt-barrier spells in the future this solution is never used again. Maybe instead of pouring her heart and soul into trying to free Klaus from the barrier spell he was trapped behind in 4x02 Freya should have spilled her blood in the border. What an idiot.

Because that is the solution to this dilemma in this episode. Sophie Anne confirms that witch blood will do the trick. But which witch? There isn’t one with Elijah and Hayley at pres- oh they’re going to take it from HOPE, oh just like Tyler did. “Hope” Elijah has a syringe. Wait, Elijah what are you doing? Why are you going for Hayley’s wrist? Women don’t store their babies in their wrists Elijah! NO ELIJAH, YOU CANT JUST POUR HAYLEY’S BLOOD ON THE BARRIER SHE’S NOT A WITCH, SHE DOESN’T ACTUALLY SHARE BLOOD WITH HER FETUS oh it worked. I guess that angsty moment you shared with Hayley was completely unnecessary I guess. Hell why not use your blood?

Papa Tunde was a really solid villain, and Owiso Odera (RIP) gives a great performance. Unfortunately Papa Tunde was the start of a series of witch villains that completely outclassed the Originals to the point that the writers had to whip out some bullshit to resolve the storyline (looking at you ass-stake)

Part four of my series on “Why do you love each Mikaelson?”

We already completed Freya, Finn, and Elijah. So the next one is Klaus.

So, why do you love Klaus - The Original Hybrid?

I have never felt such anger towards a character bro like this is insane shes worse than her fuckass aunt Sophie. Holy fuck i hate her. Why is she the one the ancestors talk to. She ruined everything.

Was reminded by another post of my favourite Elijah moment from season one…then it popped up on my Instagram 👀 So naturally had to share!

Elijah's ability to deliver deadpan burns makes his brand of humour more memorable. Here's a few of my favorites ... What's yours?

⭐ Give me a month I'll get you a list

⭐ Chiiildren please Neeeklaus

⭐ You killed his mother...wonderful

⭐ Perhaps now is not the best time for your particular brand of .. sass

⭐ Oh my dear. These pathetic lies proved to be as difficult to swallow as your stuffing this year Niklaus. Walnuts honestly

Saw diffrent posts the last couple of weeks/months on this subreddit, about Elijah beeing the real creepy one- out of the originals.

I do agree in many ways.

He has this kinda perfect, calm and clean way to behave/walk and speak... But its really creepy if u think about that a part of this is just a mask- and what his Charakteris truly like underneath all of this.

I loved him in TO :).

Rewatch TVD currently again, S2Ep9- Elijah kills/ brings him to- Slater to kill himself, - but by telling him to do it himself!! That is soo disturbing..

Just thought about the Elijah beeing the real creepy one- discussions I saw while watching this Scene again.

Love u all, what do u all think? ♡

What do u all say is the /are the most disturbing and unsettling things about Elijah?

Sry for gramnar- or spelling mistakes, english isn't my first language.

Edit: I like his Charakter in genreal, never tought about him as beeing the real creepy one until I saw other people saying it- then started to think about it- and even though he's kinda honorable and more empathetic then the rest of his family/ vampires from time to time- there's some truth on it.

Part three of my series on “Why do you love each Mikaelson?”

We already completed Freya and Finn. So the next one is Elijah.

So, why do you love Elijah- The Original who wears suits?

Any thoughts ?
