follow up post; if they did bring kai back in legacies and i caved and watched it like a dumb thirsty bitch (even knowing i’ll be miserable because they’ll probably act like my all time OTP never happened) would the bonkaimily like cast me out, lmao

I wouldn’t cast you out, but I would judge you heavily, lol.

Anyway one thing to note, and the reason why if Kai was on Legacies I’d be able ignore it, is that Kai there wouldn’t be the real Kai. I doubt the main writers for Kai in the beginning would be crossing over to the spin-off and Even if they were I doubt they’d be writing for him. That job would go to Plec who is writes him OOC. It’s what happened in 6×22, it’s what happen in his return in season 8 because once you get passed the excitement of him being out he is not himself. Outside of the 30 seconds of him asking for Bonnie and the 5 seconds when he first sees Bonnie, he’s pretty OOC. They have him caring about things that he really has never had any interest in nor any motivation to have interest in like Damon, Elena, Caroline, Stefan, the twins, and the nail in the coffin for me, Katherine. Why would he give two shits about losing a bet to Katherine with the predicament he was in that he couldn’t get out of? Furthermore, why would he give a shit about it if it had nothing to do with Bonnie? It’s like the sleeping beauty plot all over again–why was Bonnie an afterthought in his revenge plot?

I’m not tuning into any version of Kai outside TVD because I know it’s not going to be Kai. Chris can bring all the charisma and charm to the character back, but it’s not going to compensate for Plec’s shitty writing. There was only so much he could do to salvage it, but she’s that bad at her job.
