MANOOOOON. When I first read HoF I was like who the fuck, but she’s one of my faves now. :D

Headcanon A:  realistic Manon can beat anyone at arm-wrestling. Her favorite thing to do to relax is to go take care of Abraxos. He knows all her secrets.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious Elide getting Manon to try different kinds of human food. She thinks cheese is the smelliest shit until she actually eats it and loves it. She also finds out she doesn’t really like sweets. One time she tries to make Elide and Dorian dinner (this is my new OT3 ok), and she doesn’t really understand how flavors work together yet. They nod and smile and chew and then get together to figure out how they can both educate her, and dissuade her from trying that again.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends The reason that Manon didn’t take pleasure in men the way the other witches did was because she was taught that she had to be predatory, in which she was the predator and the men the prey. She never knew that sex could be mutually satisfying, that care could be involved. She has a difficult time reconciling this fact with the way that Dorian and Elide treat her. She is uncomfortable at first, but they give her time to discover that it doesn’t have to be a violent experience. 

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own. Hi, this whole headcanon post. No, but seriously, just let Manon have both Elide and Dorian, ok? It’s a win-win-win. Especially Manon. She gets to win a lot in this scenario.

Misogyny and an astounding lack of creativity was clearly going through their minds.

Jesus Christ and then Carina deadass writes it so Hayley suddenly realizes that she actually wants this arranged marriage as she’s getting married?

witchsgaze said: i thought she wanted to abort the baby because of klaus taking control of her and she was afraid he would do the same to the kid? either way the entire show was sexist so arguing in favor of 1 scene with questionable context out of an entire series doesn’t really erase the entirety of the sexist nature of the show.
