“It would be impossible not to notice you” vs. “I would have found you”
Someone on cc asked me to explain what makes “I would have found you” better than “It would be impossible not to notice you” and I want to repost my and expand answer here:
On top of one being a shallow knock off of the other? Like Sam said one is a deep and soulmate connection the other is from a response to an insecure statement. Other than that its laughable bc it is a flat out, non canonical lie. Klaus didn’t notice Caroline when she was going to be a sacrifice, he didn’t notice her in the room when Tyler was in transition, he didn’t notice her at his Mikael is dead party. This is something so simple. “Notice” as in taking a second glance, pausing, meaning you stand out in some memorable way. Something so simple, yet it didn’t happen between Klaus and Caroline. The closest you can claim is 3x09 when he called her pretty, which is not treated as important in the narrative. Klaus says it dismissively, and there’s nothing else until 3x11. The only reason they shared their first one on one scene is because she is Tyler’s girlfriend. Klaus didn’t notice her on her own, but as an extension of Tyler.
This as opposed to him remembering Cami’s the bartender at Rousseaus,
observing how she handled Marcel, and FINDING her in the crowd in Jackson Square.
All in 1 episode. She stood out to him, as a person, because of her actions.
Thematically Klaus finding Cami is something that always happens in the show. Klaus FOUND Cami in the crowd in 2x04 or chases after her aka FINDING her, 2x05 and 3x08. In the backdoor pilot Cami and Klaus are built up, even with short scenes, to their official meeting at the painting. Because the writers actually cared about the quality writing of the ship.
SO when Klaus tells Cami he would have found her, its a call back to the very beginning of their relationship, one we’ve SEEN blossom and develop over the course of 2 seasons. Hell the speech even mentions a deleted scene as a scenario. Because that’s how important klamille is to TO’s narrative.
Not to mention how the whole epic speech came out of no where, it was a surprise. Cami was JOKING about another scenario where they wouldn’t have met and Klaus shut that shit down with a quickness. Not only would Klaus find her in any timeline, any scenario, but they would still end up as friends, as confidants, because their bond is THAT strong. They’re soulmates. They’re destined. There’s no way they would have ever stayed out of each others lives.
Like a friend of mine said on twitter:
“Klaus’ statement to Cami was literally telling her that he was going to find her and share the connection he has with her. That he and she were meant to cross paths and that it didn’t matter whether she worked that night he walked into her bar or not. Essentially it didn’t matter what day or time or place, he was meant to cross paths with her. They could be in a hundred different scenarios or universes, but Klaus was certain he would find her.”
But antis want me to believe that speech is inferior to Klaus saying it would be impossible not to notice Caroline bc of her essence? It hovered around him but it didn’t prevent Klaus from choosing her as a sacrifice, targeting her with a werewolf bite, continuously torturing her boyfriend, and biting her AFTER he apparently fell for her?
