The weird thing about this is that Plec did this to herself. If she wanted Esther, Hope, Freya, Dahlia, white witch, etc. to be the most powerful witches in the universe she should have done exactly that. Instead she chose the negation route which isn’t surprising since they’ve been doing that since S1–handmaiden my ass.

Plec trying to convince me Esther, Freya and Hope are all more powerful than Bonnie is so aggravating. First of all, Esther ain’t done nothing groundbreaking and her accomplishments all hinge on the Bennett labor. Freya is only “more powerful” because she’s white and has autonomy with her magic Bonnie never enjoyed. Characters being all in awe of Plec’s Mary Sue self insert makes me roll my eyes because Bonnie could easily pull that off if ya’ll knocked off the nosebleed and migraine fest
For real though, not only did Esther use a spell from the Bennetts but had to channel their magic to accomplish it. She really didn’t do anything all that great, all she did was create the bastardization of Qetsiyah’s, who was able to create perfect immortality without the hiccups of Esther’s.
I don’t even know enough about Hope or Freya because I stopped watching TO after season 1, but I can guess it’s not as impressive as what any Bennett has already done just without the recognition because that’s essentially the thing that separates them. They do less, suffer through less, but get the high titles simply because they’re white and Plec doesn’t know how to write agency unless they’re white.
And then there’s Daliah, again I don’t know much about her but I remember the debates on which was more powerful, her or Qetsiyah. Qetsiyah was the obvious take but for some reason people wanted to argue her grand of immortality, which was essentially hibernation, was better than the true immortality Qetsiyah created along with an entire dimension she built for herself and her lover and she did that just out of blind rage, imagine if she had focus, she’d be damn near unstoppable. They’re not even in the same league but because she white and actually got a storyline catered to her bu Plec, people think her accomplishments are are even remotely the same power level.
