It’s rather odd you’d be his therapist

emily–kate–archive:

has anyone noticed that cami has seriously vampire-level alcohol tolerance? like, i am still impressed by her ability to keep up with original vampires and their centuries old progeny without getting super embarrassing or getting herself killed from being too drunk. she is so underrated in so many ways.

The Originals: Camille O’Connell - Type 1w2

tvandenneagram:

Camille is compassionate, intelligent and stubborn. She tends to believe in the goodness of humans and the world but also has a realistic understanding that there is evil in the world. She fears that she has some darkness in herself and wants to find ways to understand what brings darkness to otherwise good people.

At her best, Camille is kind and non-judgmental of others. She wants to help people achieve their best and to move through towards becoming a better person. This can be seen with her efforts with Klaus and trying to get him to see that there is some good in him. 

At her worst, Camille becomes rigid and frustrated at people and the things that are going on around her. She withdraws and begins looking into her own thoughts and opinions as the only answer for what is happening to her.

Camille is very logical and wants to find tangible research and proof to better understand the human psyche. She keeps her emotions quite detached and is calm until really pushed. Camille has a strong desire to find the truth and this can be seen in her quest for finding out what has happened to her brother and what caused his death. She simply cannot believe the story she has been told about his suicide and seeks the truth. This is also seen when Klaus starts compelling her and she begins leaving small clues to try and break out of the compulsion as she is resolute in standing up to Klaus and not being under his control.

Cami takes her profession as a psychologist very seriously and really wants to both help and understand people. She believes that everything happens for a reason and people are not inherently good or evil. She stands up for the people she loves and will fight for anything that she believes is right.

When she becomes a vampire she becomes a very different person and acts very impulsively. She takes on traits that are polar opposites to how she was as a human and are similar to a disintegrated 7. Sometimes if a type is in the unhealthy stages they can take on bad traits from their integration line (in this case 7). She is reckless, dangerous and disregards the feelings of others. She begins to change back to be more like herself as she gains a better control of her feelings and emotions.

Cami has a wing 2 as she is very supportive and wants to help others. She wants to fix people in a way of helping them and is quite personable and caring towards others. While she is emotionally detached at times like a wing 9 overall she is more open and willing to help ordinary people.

Tri-type: 1w2 - 5w6 - 2w1

Some quotes to describe Camille’s motivations

“No. The world isn’t awful. People aren’t awful. They want to be good; something makes them bad. Something breaks them down, makes them snap. There are always signs, symptoms, before someone has a psychotic break.”

“What if someday, his demons become mine too?”

“What about my brother? My twin brother. We were bonded our whole lives, and I know, I know he didn’t just snap. And I need to know who did this, and I need to make this right!”

“You know, sometimes I ask myself why I let people like Klaus into my life. I have this destructive pattern. I’m always drawn to the bad boys. Maybe deep down, I feel like that’s what I deserve.”

“Ask me to dance. No. I… never want to dance. I’m actually really bad at it. But, I’m trying to make a point– there’s more to life than the pain they made you feel. A cold beer, a slow song, a good friend… There are good things, Klaus. And you need to see that, too. There’s no real peace in revenge.”

“Oh, shut up! I’m so mad at you, I can hardly speak. But, I am here, and it is to tell you– not to bargain with you, and not to shame you, but to tell you– under no circumstances will you hurt that girl, do you understand me?”

“I didn’t come here to appreciate art. If you want to talk about your progress as a person striving for empathy, fine. If not? I’ll go.”

“We’re not romantically involved, no. But I do care about him. I see that he wants to be more than what he is, and I don’t think you would do much to help him get there.“

“Love will make you strong. It will make you the man that I know you want to be, and you have to remember that because I won’t be here to remind you.”
