#she does nothing

Out of absolute boredom, my partner and I binged the first two seasons of Legacies and are now watching season three. I like the magic part, and that’s the only thing keeping me watching.

I have a question for anyone:

What makes Hope so damn special? She’s a ‘tribrid’, sure, but what else?

Her relationship with Mr. Saltzman borders on creepy - it’s got a romantic air but he’s the freaking headmaster! He seems to be holding himself back from grabbing her and deep kissing her. It’s icky.

She does some magic, but mostly just screws everything up and makes life harder on those around her. But then, they praise her like she’s some kind of God or something. If I have to hear one more ‘praise Hope’ speech and ‘you’re so wonderful’ monologue I might puke. What, precisely, has she done to garner such fawning?

My partner has a theory: that Hope emanates a kind of magic that brings out the best in everyone. If she’s around, their powers are stronger. They love her because she oozes good feelings. I don’t agree, because by the third season I’d think the writers would make this clearer.

So, what’s Hope’s deal? Why is she so loved? What makes her special? Other characters are much better written, have interesting storylines, and have better interactions. All I see from Hope is that she’s lusting after the headmaster and people say she’s amazing.

me: yeah my mom and my sister

Vickie: what does your sister do

me, a little put on the spot: she does nothing

Vickie: what?

me: she's a year older than me and she does nothing
