Another Q&A Time!
So, my plot bunnies hopped themselves all the way to including Freya...
I'm just going to mention it now... I do NOT like Freya. There are several reasons. She just, I understand why she didn't like Dahlia, but Dahlia also was a perfect villain in her own right, I believe (because in a way, you had to sympathize with Dahlia, Esther was awful to her sister).
To me, when you start sympathizing with a villain, that makes them perfect (like Loki in Avengers)!
Villains are most often created, not just born. I believe Dahlia was one of those villains. She was used, abused, & then discarded. Frankly, I'd be pretty freaking bitter too... Not that it excuses her, but it certainly explains it. So, then frankly, it was Esther being an idiot to not "read the fine print" of the magic. Like we learn in BBC Merlin, magic ALWAYS has a price... It was in Dahlia's right to take Freya. Now, of course Dahlia SHOULD have treated Freya like a daughter. She didn't... This is Freya's right to be angry!
Now, to Freya... Freya's just a little brat all grown up in my opinion. She SHOULD be angry at Dahlia... But as far as her siblings? She a manipulative little bitch. Here's my logic:
1. Immediately, upon meeting the siblings, she blazes in like she's the matriarch... I'm sorry... Elijah's been leading the family for CENTURIES. You do NOT know them... You have no claim to that matriarch title. Elijah is doing just fine, so stop scolding them like they are 5!
2. She attempts to get her siblings to choose her or Niklaus (at some point). Yeah... That's some matriarch responsibility... What was that sob story about just wanting "family" again? Pull the other leg, please...
3. She ALSO tries to kill Hope at one point as a baby... Because of the "first born" curse... Well, what about doing something like magic? After all, you claim & brag about being so powerful?
4. And, later (in the name of family) after they finally accept her (how do you accept a person who was trying to kill you & your daughter?) & they are all playing happy family... She's willing to sacrifice every other witch, vampire, or wolf to save them. Now, of course, so are the other Mikaelsons... But the WAY she does it- She claims she's all "self-righteous" about it. She basically scolds Elijah, Niklaus, & Kol about being ruthless killers, then turns around & literally does the SAME thing. Pot meet kettle. I can only take so much self-righteousness. At least own up to it please. Hayley does enough finger pointing for me... We didn't need another one.
Ugh. So yeah. I don't really like her much. She also just have a massive chip on her shoulder for a lot of reasons.
Here's actually questions you guys all asked... Lols.
1. The Hollow Spirit/Hollow aura are the same thing. They are the Hollow in non-physical form. In TO canon, the Hollow appears as a blue orb or aura, which is very powerful. Perhaps not as powerful as the Hollow's physical form, but the Hollow is the most powerful witch in TO's canon & history. So, she's argumentatively very powerful in Spirit form, which is the blue aura that I mention.
2. Are the Mikaelson children immortal... Well, as much as I do not like Hope in s5, I am similarly styling them off of her in some aspects. Hope does age, as we can see. Since in s5 of TO she's a teenager.
Right now, the Mikaelson children are babies & toddlers, therefore, I've left that up to my plot bunnies & muse to decide. So far, they will be aging. But they will stop at some point. But as I said, I'm not sure completely where I will end that... Apologies for the sort of non-answer.
3. Yes, the Hollow does specifically want something with the Mikaelsons. I've left quite some big hints so far. It follows canon actually. Just with some minor tweaks, since part of why Hope was wanted in canon was eliminated because Hayley is dead in my version of the story line.
4. I will not be making another story after The Hollow Crown ends. At least not a following one that connects to this one. The trilogy is complete once The Hollow Crown is completed.
However, I am doing a spin-off to this series. Think of it like Legacies is to TO. Because I need to brain bleach my brain after s5 of TO. And I refuse to watch the actual Legacies. Pec will ruin it like she did TO... Anyways, I am doing a story of the Mikaelsons heirs as they grow up in NOLA together & take on the world! Better watch out... The Mikaelson heirs are gonna be an unstoppable force!
5. Alexis was not really upset that her kids were leaning a language. She was playfully joking. I was fairly sure I made that apparent in the writing. But, if there was any anger. It would be, because her kids are 2 and 3. I mean, do they really need to be learning that young? They are not even in pre-school yet. But, either way, she wasn't. I did write "glaring at the youngest Mikaelson brother with little heat to it" which would indicate that she was playing or joking.
Great questions guys! I love them & always welcome them! I hope I clarified things for you all too.
