Hey Lilly !
I had this kinda frustrating debate with that Klayley author naturelover1997 you might know her the one with all those popular short stories on Wattpad she's seriously talented, I've read a bunch of hers too)
She's the most loved Klayley author on Wattpad
We were chatting about Klaus's love interests in The Originals, and I mentioned how I think he had a really deep, relatable connection with Aurora out of all his love interests like, they both understood each other's darkness and pain in a way that felt profound to me. That's why I kinda ship Klaurora as a close second after Klayley
She wasn't rude or anything actually, but she pushed back hard said Tatia was his true love (I said it was more of an infatuation/crush since both brothers were into her), and that Aurora was just "crazy" with no real deep connection. She even brought up how Klaus supposedly said Aurora used to sleep with Tristan and had sex with him(her brother which is a wild, messed-up rumor from the show, but idk if he actually threw that at her like that). And she defended Elijah compelling Aurora to reject Klaus, saying it was a "favor" because she was unstable.
What really got me was the double standard she's all forgiving/protective of Elijah doing that to Aurora, but I bet if it was anything interfering with Haylijah, it'd be full hate mode. And she straight-up said she never connected with Aurora as a character, which is fair (everyone has their faves), but it felt kinda dismissive/unfair since Aurora's trauma and bond with Klaus were pretty intense in the canon.
I didn't text you this there because I thought that author would find out because were having a conversation there about Daroline it's not like I'm hating on her or criticizing her
Idk, I just didn't love the hypocrisy vibe. What do you think? Am I overreading it, or does that sound biased to you too?
