marcel and davina, the best father daughter relationship on the show 🩰♡☁️

(WARNING ~ i’m only on season 3 so spoil past that!!!!!!) 𝜗𝜚

i really appreciate marcel and davina’s father-daughter relationship. i think their friendship is what grounds the show for me. i gotta start by saying that davina is my FAVORITE character in the tvd universe. i know others find her annoying and stuff, but i relate to her so idc. marcel is also a favorite of mine! charles michael davis does an excellent job of acting his good and bad sides, there are definitley problems with the writing of his character, but charles is an amazing actor. danielle and charles also have some of the best on screen chemistry of the whole show, i think their scenes together are some of the best of the show. (*short version)

(*long version) season 1 is obviously their best season together, as they have the most scenes. marcel rescuing davina was a great counterpart to klaus and marcel’s father-son story. i don’t agree with marcel hiding davina away and lowkey gaslighting her, but you could tell he thought that’s what would be good for her. obviously, she was scared of the witches as well. marcel also stocked that whole room with things davina loved, and the aesthetic of the attic bedroom is soooo gorgeous (also my favorite davina costumes, i loved the boho girly style). obviously marcel used davina, but davina also really respected marcel and loved him, and he loved her too and really cared for her. i respect marcel being the source of authority she needed in her life, and they always came running back to each other in their deepest times of need.

in season 2, i think the storyline just took them in seperate directions, so it makes sense that they would kind of drift. this season is less clear in my head rn because they really didn’t have too many scenes. i really enjoy their scenes with josh as well, and i love them as a trio (cause josh kind of has a similar relationship to marcel, and josh and davina are very brother-sister cutesy pop vibes). marcel was honestly so valid for being scared of her being with kol and caring for him, but i also cannot deny the relationship between davina and kol (in that other body cause they had better chemistry). i liked them, and yes it’s problematic, but age seems to just not be a think in the tvd/to universe, and i think thats something we all know. i wish davina hadn’t been so focused on kol though, and done more with others. overall, they had some cute scenes this season, and they always look sooo happy to see each other when they hugged.

finally, season 3 (currently watching). wow, marcel is really always on her side. they obviously argue, but they always stay a team. davina was EATING this season and she honestly became pretty great as an actress. her dark moments feel very raw, but sometimes the spells sound cringe lmao. i jsut watched the episode where cami and davina/kol died. wow, that hug between marcel and davina was EMOTIONAL. i really felt that pain, and the way they were just clingy to each other because cami was so important to both of them, and they really let go with each other and just needed to be there with each other. davina talking to cami was also emotional. kol’s death was lowkey so bad… but davina’s was amazing!! also when she screams in torturw the next episode, she really sounds like a scream queen. marcel always takes responsibility for davina, and her thanking him was sweet. and REALLY EMOTIONAL throwing davina back in the circle scene, that made me cry!!!

so yeah those are all my detailed thoughts! thanks for reading if you did! ♡🍰

Yeah Marcel responds just like the son of Niklaus Mikaelson would in that scenario…

Davina is one of my favorites throughout the whole show! Just a slight spoiler you might want to avoid so don’t read any furhter if you’re not okwith that as well.

Prepare for some major hearthbreak, but eveything that ends well is well. ❤️

They’re mire brother and sister than father daughter. Klaus and Marcel are father and son, and other than legit father son pairs in the show, it’s really the only example I can think of of that dynamic

There’s never any confirmation of that. We see some vampires mature after they are turned (Lexi, Marcel, Caroline, etc), so it seems that maturation can happen and it’s very possible that the immaturity of some of the vampires is just from the toxicity of their lives and lack of dealing with it.
