Listen I’m rewatching Reign because I didn’t finish it the first time and I can’t stop laughing about this scene…
Tumblr media
The writers really said, “Do you guys want to make J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis roll over in their graves? Let’s give a bow to the two actors on set most likely to know how to use it.”
So they had Haldir, the Elf…
Tumblr media
teach Susan Pevensie how to use a bow
Tumblr media
And honestly I can’t fault them for making this happen

reign
the first character I ever fell in love with: Lola! She stole my heart in the pilot with this scene where she points out exactly WHY she and Mary aren’t in a position to be friends.
a character that I used to love/like, but now do not: hmm, I mostly went the other way around? I liked some developments more than others, but I never grew to DISLIKE anybody. I guess maybe Bash? He was never one of my faves, but at one point I found him interesting enough and then he was just... there lmao.
a ship that I used to love/like, but now do not: same as above tbh. I took basically all ships for what they were, one way or the other, so when things went South I took it at face value. IDK if I’m explaining myself right lmfao. But it didn’t matter to me what progression ships like Kennash, Frary, Monde, Catcisse, etc. etc. went through, I enjoyed the story.
my ultimate favourite character™: this is one of the hardest shows you could ever ask me this lmfao. During the course of the show I’ve had FIVE favourite characters, taking turns xDD. If I was forced to choose I’d guess I’d go with Catherine, whose ending pleases me more than the others and who was a joy to follow from beginning to end.
prettiest character: another complicated one xD. Have you seen the women in this show?? (the men had... nice personalities lmfao. Except Condé. Condé was pretty). Marie de Guise had swagger, Kenna was flat out gorgeous, Lola and Claude were adorbs, Catherine had IT... And ofc, Mary. I love love love her face. It can be argued I wouldn’t have liked her character so much if I hadn’t found her so pretty, given my track record with protagonists of her ilk xDD
my most hated character: idk what it says about me that it’s Castleroy. Fuck that guy.
my OTP: Catherine/Narcisse.
my NOTP: Castleroy/Greer.
favourite episode: have a list of candidates here, because there’s no way I’m picking just one.
saddest death: Francis, but more for Mary and Catherine than for him (I loved Francis, but I wanted them to get on with it tbh xD).
favourite season: season 2, which as I understand is one hell of a UO lmao. But I loved it! I still had all my three ladies in waiting, Catherine’s wacky storylines, all the Frary conflict, Greer as madam, my man Narcisse’s introduction... it was a fine season.
least favourite season: I guess s4? Partially is my disappointment with the finale, but it was kind of a mess, and some of the storylines irked me.
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but I hate: Castleroy seemed to have his fans, and again: fuck that guy.
my ‘you’re a piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: well, I guess Catherine and Narcisse both had moments like this... but Lord Darnley was great fun and he was the trashiest of them all. You gotta respect that.
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Greer. Truly the most generous soul on the show, and her ending is made to be so unimportant ugh.
my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but I still love it’ ship: eh. I was here for the Henry ships, for Darnley/Mary... I guess those are the ones that get to wrongship levels.
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and I lowkey ship them, but I’m not too invested’ ship: Greer/James, Claude/Luc, Dudley/Elizabeth, any Greer/Lola/Kenna combo, Lola/Francis (she was so not into him lmfao)... all of these were enjoyable, one way or another.

“Oh, how I wish I could say I was happy to be here, but much like Francis, I'm absolutely miserable. How could I possibly forgive Reign when they took the long and winding road to this by forcing a love triangle out of "Monde"?
Frankly, I cannot, and watching Reign Season 2 Episode 20 with Mary's stupidity being the final push for Conde's attempt to claim the throne of France on the series only further cements my decision to part ways with it as must-see TV.
.....Who could have guessed I'd arrive just as they single handedly crushed every single successful relationship on the show? I suppose given how easily they murdered what Francis and Mary shared, I shouldn't have been surprised, but wow. This is really wiping the slate clean.
It's true that Reign Season 1 was a sexy show. It worked in a lot of ways because the core group of ladies hadn't tasted true love. They were extremely unfamiliar with court and the life they were thrust into. That's not the case now. What's going on now makes them seem like whores.
Tell me Kenna's dream wasn't almost exactly like what she did with Sexy King Henry. Mary whined about her rank destroying any love coming her way that didn't belong to a king. Guess what lady, you were married. You weren't supposed to be toying on the side anymore. That's how marriage works.
Greer's decision to remain a madam is completely unrealistic given the times, but not surprising given the chemistry between Leith and Claude. You knew they were going there. Additionally, it's fun to see life outside the castle no matter how unrealistic and with as much as the women want a voice, well, she has one. She'd just never opt for it over respectability.
Even Catherine has diminished into an embarrassing woman when it comes to Narcisse. He pegged her exactly, but not until he played her game by humiliating the only woman left in court we can really root for (although Claude has risen in the ranks) with a silly nudie drawing. Who ever thought I'd say Lola deserves better? She's come a long way.
Way back when, when I was reviewing Reign, I was taking a lot of heat for being down on "Monde" as the shippers so loved to call them. My take was historical Conde made an attempt on Francis' crown and the love stuff was rubbish. I was told what to do with my blatant disregard for true love.
Well, I told you so. It doesn't look like ol' Conde is going to make his mad dash for the throne through his love for Mary, but instead through is allegiance to Protestantism and Elizabeth's last minute save of his life. He's King Louis! The face, the claim, the bloodline and nothing to lose but his life.”
(Other reviews since tag search useless: x)

Reign: The Verdict
Okay, look, first things first, obviously this show is ridiculous in a lot of ways. It’s not a Serious Grown-Up Historical Drama and I didn’t go into it expecting it to be that. I get that this approach to telling a “historical” story isn’t for everyone, but people who make a huge deal about how the costumes are blatantly historically inaccurate or whatever are so annoying to me. No kidding this show isn’t going for historical verisimilitude! That’s not a deep observation!
I really liked Mary as a character and I thought Adelaide Kane did a great job.
Favorite character: it’s practically neck-and-neck between Catherine and Narcisse, but ultimately Narcisse came out on top. I found his relationship with Lola super skeevy at first, but I came to really like it. I’m a sucker for characters who are usually cold but learn to let one (1) person into their heart and really get all warm and soft for that one person alone. I hate that he didn’t really get any closure in the final episode. I had really thought his desire to avenge Lola was going to lead to his death, which would have been sad but fitting, but as it is, I believe the last we see of him he’s just hanging out in the background, having been drugged by Emmanuelle. My dude deserved a better ending. Craig Parker is so fantastic.
As for Catherine, I love how I totally thought she was going to be the villain but she ended up being a great ally to Mary. I wasn’t a fan of that one plot (s2 I think) where she was jailed and kind of went crazy for a while. It felt...kind of insulting for a character who is usually so smart and smooth. But fortunately they let the old Catherine return eventually.
I KNEW Francis was going to return in the final episode. I just knew it. It seemed like the sort of thing this show would undoubtedly do. And I’m glad it did.
I liked Bash but—and this is kind of hard to explain—I often felt like he was supposed to be on a different show and just kind of wandered into Reign. I think this might be because he has such close ties to the mystical elements of the show, an aspect of the show that often felt out of place. So while I was sad that he didn’t return at all in person in the fourth season, the fact that he found a home with the Druids who are somehow still around in the 16th century felt fitting.
The finale was...so weird and rushed. They should have spent more time on Mary’s downfall and less time on weird satanic three-ways. Listen, I’m not opposed to shows depicting weird satanic three-ways, but you have to place them strategically, and unless they’re integral to the plot of the show, the finale is generally not the place for them. Actually, I think the show suffered from hasty pacing quite a bit. There were a lot of scenes that should have been impactful and game-changing that just happened way too fast. Like that one earthquake in s4, for example.
My dad just said something involving the name “Clarissa,” which reminded me that this show also has a tendency to introduce things that seem important but then...not do anything with them. Clarissa was introduced in such a momentous way in the first episode and then in s2 they were like oh yeah, we introduce that character, we should probably wrap up that plot...let’s just bring her back and kill her off. Claude’s storyline, also, was ultimately just neglected. Oh, and Greer! Whatever happened to Greer?!
The attempts at feminist storytelling were frequently heavy-handed, especially when it comes to John Knox, who was depicted as a total straw misogynist. Now, while I don’t know anything about the real John Knox so I can’t say how his real views stack up against the views of the character, one thing about his portrayal that I can confidently declare ridiculous is in the finale when he said something like “Men will never bow to the weaker sex.” Sure, most men throughout history have preferred to be led by a man than by a woman, but history is also full of successful female leaders, including the people at the helms of both England and Scotland in Knox’s own time, so that line just made him sound silly.
Nostradamus was awesome.

the tudors and reign
the tudors:
my all-time ultimate fave character: anne boleyn, i’m basic that way
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: mary had to grow on me... i still don’t find sarah’s performance mindblowing the way some people do, but i like her
a character I used to like but now don’t: i think that in retrospect the catherine parr storyline was really weak and she wasn’t well-defined
a character I’m indifferent about: anne of cleves.  she was cute and joss did well but what did they really do with her?
a character who deserved better: every single one of the wives lbr
a ship I’ve never been able to get into: anne/henry.  ugh.  fuck that shit.
a ship I’ve never been able to get over: i.... don’t know.  nothing on this show is a great romance, out of anything i’d say maybe margaret and brandon?  they had a moment.
a cute, low-key ship: that weird thomas tallis storyline had a cute thing with his boyfriend.  then he started fucking a dead lady or something, idk.
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: henry/death
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: i feel like henry going back to bang anne of cleves was so fucking stupid
my favourite storyline/moment: anne’s downfall was really well-done, like s2 was almost a legitimately good season of tv.
a storyline that never should have been written: .... so many random bits?  why did fitzroy die?  why did charles have a random last minute mistress in the final season?  why should i care about her or feel bad for her when she gets trashed in the the funeral?  why is anne stanhope banging everyone?  i don’t get it
my first thoughts on the show: omg tudor history (i was like fifteen give me a break)
my thoughts now: ... what even was that
reign:
my all-time ultimate fave character: catherine and francis are basically tied tbh
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: i hated bash for a long time, but now i have a weird sort of affection for him
a character I used to like but now don’t: initially i kinda liked louis lmao isn’t that funny
a character I’m indifferent about: lola.  she had a couple moments but for the most part i just found her ridiculously arrogant and a shitty friend.
a character who deserved better: elizabeth definitely deserved a better portrayal and a better dudley
a ship I’ve never been able to get into: mash.  monde.  anything involving gideon or gilbert or whatever his name was.
a ship I’ve never been able to get over: frary was a ship i just like... endured... for....  i will never not love it
a cute, low-key ship: james and greer deserved more, i thought they were cute.  
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: catherine and narcisse?  bc everyone shipped lola’s lame ass with him.  whatever, catherine and narcisse were mature evil lovers and i was into it.
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: lola and narcisse and mary and louis probably tie for that. a weird guy stalking a much younger single mother until she’s stockholm’d into “loving” him (and then he cheats on her throughout their marriage lmao) and monde was basically treated as like... a way for mary to “heal” from her rape?  like wtf.
my favourite storyline/moment: the best moment was the show ending exactly the way i wanted it to, my god, that was satisfying.
a storyline that never should have been written: mary’s rape storyline.  horrid.  offensive.
my first thoughts on the show: are you fucking kidding me
my thoughts now: it’s a hot mess but it’s my hot mess

tvd & reign?
TVD:
my all-time ultimate fave character: stefan salvatore always
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: probably enzo? 
a character I used to like but now don’t: alaric, matt & elena
a character I’m indifferent about: jeremy i guess???
a character who deserved better: stefan, BONNIE, caroline, enzo & tyler
a ship I’ve never been able to get into: klarolyn
a ship I’ve never been able to get over: STEROLINE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ETERNAL ENDGAME I WAS FUCKING ROBBED
a cute, low-key ship: bonenzo, bamon, forwood & tyler x liv
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: steroline my underrated babies
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: klarolyn and d*lena
my favourite storyline/moment: first of all, i love every single steroline moment and s6 had pretty much all of my favorites (THE SPEECH STEFAN GAVE HER IN THE S6 FINALE I STILL CRY) and plot-wise would probably be the originals storyline in s2 & s3 nothing after that could live up to those seasons tbh 
a storyline that never should have been written: i hated the sirebond storyline in s5 and all of s7 with the pregnancy, stefan being marked, caroline engaged with alaric, and also s8 with the ripper storyline AGAIN and stefan killing himself after being suicidal for pretty much all of his life
my first thoughts on the show: i watched it expecting it to be like twilight but it wasnt and i fell in love with it
my thoughts now: im embarrassed to say i ever loved the show and i hope julie plague never touches another tv show again
REIGN:
my all-time ultimate fave character: mary
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: catherine
a character I’m indifferent about: aylee i guess??
a character I used to like but now don’t: condouche, lola & greer
a character who deserved better: francis, mary, leith, bash & catherine
a ship I’ve never been able to get into: m*nde, francis x lola, kenna x henry,  lola x narcisse
a ship I’ve never been able to get over: FRARY 
a cute, low-key ship: cleith, kennash, & mash
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: cleith my babies who deserved better
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: M*NDE. CONDOUCHE WAS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MARY’S FRAGILE STATE I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT
my favourite storyline/moment: all of season 1 tbh. the frary wedding and in s2 when francis arranged the floating lanterns for mary when she suffered from a miscarriage. almost makes me forget the shitstorm that followed
a storyline that never should have been written: the francis x lola baby that just caused unnecessary pain to mary for not being able to produce an heir. also mary’s rape which was handled TERRIBLY all just to lead to the m*nde romance where he took advantage of her trauma. i love mary and she’s my fav character BUT S2 WAS THE WORST FOR HER. s2 mary had no integrity or loyalty and the mary i know would never plan to secretly run from her husband with ANOTHER MAN. i will never forgive the writers for letting francis lay in his bed on the verge of death while his wife was sleeping with another man. im SO glad they decided to ignore s2 ever happened after that shitstorm passed. also francis’ death. I KNOW IT WAS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE BUT SINCE WHEN WERE THE REIGN WRITERS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE BEFORE THEN???
my first thoughts on the show: LOVE IT. love the characters, love the supernatural twist to a period drama, love the costumes and FRARY 
my thoughts now: the show never recovered after 2x04 & im glad its over and i got my frary endgame
SEND ME A TV SERIES!

Reign for the ask meme :)
Want as my mentor: Is there any answer that is not ‘Catherine’? Do I want to be schooled in the arts of politics, power, poisoning, and using the dark arts on your own kid? No. Do I want her to be my mentor anyway, in a heartbeat? YAS. Now I’m picturing me and Catherine having sort of a Liz Lemon/Jack Donaghy dynamic.
Bake cupcakes for: Mary. She deserves all the cupcakes.
Lend my books to: Lola. I don’t really have a reason; I just want to start a book club with Lola.
Put thumbtacks on the chair thereof: Conde. My revenge has come at last, mwahaha!
Have a crush on: I am deeply ashamed to admit this, and 110% aware of what an absolutely terrible life decision it would be, but probably Narcisse. Dude is handsome and suave, god damn it. Also, I would probably literally start crying every time I saw Mary, because she is so beautiful. I would be a disaster up in this television program. “Why is that servant crying every time she sees us?” the characters of Reign would ponder.
Pack up and leave if they moved next door: If Conde, Dudley, and Bothwell decided to be roommates, in a sort of pre-Jess New Girl situation, I would relocate to a different country.
Follow as captain of a ship: Greer. And I’m kind of sad that she didn’t sail off into the sunset with her pirate babydaddy. If Greer/Castleroy wasn’t gonna last, then I’m Team Martin The Hilarious Pirate over Team James any day.
Pick as my partner in a buddy movie: CLAUDE. WE WOULD BE AMAZING. She would definitely force me to get a makeover at some point. Cue fashion montage!
Marry: Castleroy. I would be 100% okay w/ a kindly rich man with adorable curls and an enthusiasm for spices basically purchasing my hand in marriage. I’m a simple lady.
Want as my boss: Greer. She seemed like she was thoughtful toward her employees when she had them! Which is definitely not a given in the world of Reign. My boss could be Elizabeth. I could be getting my head randomly bludgeoned with a scepter.
Sue: THE ENTIRE WORLD OF REIGN FOR EMOTIONAL DAMAGES.
Want as my best friend: Bash, so I can be like “boy, what you doing with your LIFE??? Stop this nonsense! GO FIND KENNA; DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU’RE EVER GONNA DO BETTER THAN KENNA??” @ him all the time. I feel like it would be amusing, until I became the victim of his latest vaguely supernatural foe.

REIGN SPOILERS AHEAD
i’m putting all of my thoughts about the series reign on this, i probably forgot a lot of shit, but thats okay. also I’m sorry if this is very long, i have lots of opinions. scroll past!
so im on season 3 episode 7 and here are my thoughts as of this moment:
- francis is everything but also he was so controlling of mary jfc
- nostradamus is really hot
- im sad for mary that francis is dead
- frary is endgame
- but i was totally down for bash and mary to get married
- conde was so hot. i miss him already
- i was not down for the whole cheating plot line with mary
- antoine needs to chill and stop being so vengeful
- kenna is a piece of shit, i mean stop self sabotaging yourself please for the love of god
- so apparently, kenna was masterbating on the staircase in the pilot? i thought she ran out of breath from walking up all those goddamn stairs (chill, this is a joke, but i still think it's funny that she couldn't wait to get to her room)
- henry was fucking gross from the minute he walked on screen
- did everyone forget about aylee?
- poor lola, she couldve been so much more
- on the topic of lola, where tf did john philippe go? like he hasn't been in the past few episodes
- bash is so great
- bash does no wrong, i love him
- i liked diane and i miss her
- leith is honestly the most tragic character in this whole show, i love him
- megan follows does such an amazing job, like she is such a good actress
- why tf couldn't greer marry leith? i guess im just not understanding
- they totally brushed off the whole incest thing between claude and bash, gross
- but also good for greer, she's a great madam
- i don't give any shits about lord narcissi
- i loveeee claude and leith, get married pls
- i really wanted mary and francis to have a child and i almost cried at the miscarriage
- charles is a dick, but also fuck me
- catherine de medici is the best thing to have graced this show, i mean fuck me up bitch ahhh
- poor mary! its so sad that she was raped. to me, the show handled the repercussions fairly well
- i liked the whole catherine going crazy plot line, i thought the writers did a good job with her emotions towards her children
- the end did not pay off though, like how did she get better?
- also, the crazy henry plot line was ass, but i liked it almost?
- i thought the francis killing henry was done very well, subtle, but not out of the blue. plus, you could go back and look at the clues in previous episodes to aid to the murder
and now these are my thoughts past season 3, episode 7 all the way to the end:
- yes i want some bdsm in this bitch fuck it up queen
- catherine and mary are so kinky hahahaahahha
- mary's pussy literally killed don carlos (jk)
- this is the best plot line on this show so far lmao
- i like it better when mary and catherine get along
- god i love princess claude
- i hate narcisse
- fuck narcisse
- even though claude's fucking stupid for writing that her mother poisoned her in her diary and not hiding the diary well, i still love her
- narcisse's secretary is hot in a lowkey kind of way
- also, his death scene was very unrealistic
- thank god lola is leaving, fuck narcisse
- i don't like elizabeth, but i guess im not supposed to
- why does claude have to fuck up leith like that? he's already traumatized by greer
- greer is honestly the secret mvp, what a good woman
- i am more invested in claude and leith's story then anything else in this entire show
- i feel so bad for dudley's wife, she didn't ask for this
- catherine is a sex queen and i stan her
- stubble leith is so hot
- adelaide kane is so fucking pretty goddamn
- honestly, fuck the prince of spain
- charles looks like mary and francis' child grown up tbh
- i have no investment in any of the england storyline
- why do none of the ladies in waiting get a normal marriage and life jeez louise
- CLAUDE DESERVES BETTER
- LEITH DESERVES BETTER
- FUCK THE DUKE WHO MARRIED CLAUDE
- CLAUDE IS A QUEEN WTF I LOVE HER SO MUCH I WANT TO MARRY HER OML
- narcisse can suck my dick
- im all for in charge charles
- i don't like gideon
- i have no investment in the elizabeth/dudley shep, but i still find it really sad
- god i hope that gideon doesn't stab mary in the back
- christophe is really creepy
- my inStiNctS weRe cOrRecT jEsuS ChrISt, christophe is insane
- gideon is also insane
- bash is perfect

- I’m so for greer and leith’s friendship
- jc not the bash love storyline again
- i totally forgot mary killed narcisse’s son
- wait at what point did mary meet her ladies??
- literally the only part in this show so far to make cry is when mary went back to defend catherine tbh
- idk why i feel sympathy for catherine
- if bash dies i will stop watching
- thank god
- elizabeth is honestly a better friend to lola than mary was
- charles is so dumb
- god why can’t he learn anything, obviously his friend was a traitor
- charles’ traitor friend is bobo nick jonas
- dark mary is my everything
- claude is her mother’s carbon copy
- the valois children have other siblings? where are they and why haven’t we heard of them?????
- munro is so hot
- bash is actually fucking insane
- why is charles so trustworthy?
- when did james become hot?
- mary is so great when she’s not needy and crying for a romance
- how does everyone just kill people so easily??? i can’t even get my blood drawn without wanting to throw up
- lola is HEARTLESS
- IM SO DOWN FOR A CLAUDE/LEITH WEDDING
- also troye sivan? i love it
- charles totally sucks
- wait what happened with the pagans in the blood woods?

- i have no sympathy for darnley’s true love dying, he’s so rude and deceiving
- i love the friendship between catherine and mary ahh
- i don’t know how i feel about greer and james
- where did lady kenna go?
- i like the juxtaposition between mary and francis’ wedding and mary and darnley’s wedding with the flowers and attendees and just overall feeling and how adelaide kane acted in it. you could tell that she truly loved francis but doesn’t love darnley and feels scared with him
- also the fact that mary doesn’t match with darnley’s outfits is an interesting choice
- the timeline on this show is very strange
- claude’s character development is beautiful
- the horny witch is my fav
- umm what she’s pregnant?
- nicole can suck my fucking ass fuck her stupid ass
- i wish the end wasn’t so abrupt tbh
- the last five minutes was so good, i teared up
- ugh now i feel empty inside and want to watch it again!!
ugh this show is so good, like insanely good. i feel like most of the time the characterization was wonderful. claude was my favorite, so its no surprise i like claude and leith the best. i didn’t like francis most of the time while he was alive but i missed his presence on the show. bash was an absolute gem. adelaide kane is so hot oml i died multiple times. i really enjoyed watching it!!!
rate: 9/10 archduchesses falling out of a window during sex (still my favorite part of the show)
favorite character: claude! queen catherine!! runner ups: bash, greer, leith, sometimes mary, elizabeth at the endish
favorite season: season 1!! can’t beat the drama!

tvd to honor the fact that it ends next week, star wars, and reign (btw I haven't seen the new episode, but spoiler alert, leith is alive and narcisse locked him up and had claude marry his son, and damn I hate him 1000 more now)
Thanks!
TVD:
the first character i ever fell in love with: Stefan, believe it or not. But now I don’t really care that much about him lol
a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: Most of the characters lol. But I think the biggest example would probably be Caroline. She used to be my favorite female character on the show but now i’m just meh towards her. 
a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: Forwood. I also used to ship Steferine until I realized how many consent issues there were between Katherine and human! Stefan.  
my ultimate favorite character™: Bonnie Bennett. My light who deserved so much better :(
prettiest character: Bonnie!
my most hated character: TVD! Klaus. I still sometimes get war flashbacks from how much I hated him lol. I also hate Kai, but that’s partly because of his stans. 
my OTP: Bamon *sighs*
my NOTP: Kl*roline, D*lena, B*nkai, B*nenzo. Too many hated ships to name tbh lol
favorite episode: All of the episodes where Damon and Bonnie were trapped in the prison world together. Also “The Last Dance”. 
saddest death: The majority of the characters never actually stay dead so idk. Maybe Jenna? I think Rose’s death scene was sad and well done but I wasn’t attatched to her.
favorite season: My Bamon bias wants me to say S6 but S2 was probably overall the best. 
least favorite season: S5
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: TVD! Klaus lmao
my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Damon. Although a lot of the time my feelings towards him are very complicated. I wish the writers had allowed him to grow. Also Katherine.
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: BONNIE :(
my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: Don’t have one. Bamon is obviously very problematic but so are the vast majority of TVD ships.
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Idk. Tyler and Liv maybe?
Star Wars:
the first character i ever fell in love with: The first movie I watched was “A New Hope” and I LOVED Leia from the start. I actually thought she was going to be my fave at first but then ESB made me stan Luke. 
a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: None
a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: None
my ultimate favorite character™: Luke! My son
prettiest character: Probably Padme? But I think Rey is the character that i’m personally the most attracted to. 
my most hated character: Hux, just because I find the fact that he has so many fans really annoying lol. I hope he dies in episode 8.
my OTP: Finnrey
my NOTP: R*ylo. I just need Rey and Kylo to be confirmed as cousins so it can officially die. Someone leak it please.
favorite episode: Return of the Jedi
saddest death: Padme. She deserved better. 
favorite season: 
least favorite season:
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Sometimes I think I hate Kylo but it’s really just his fans that I hate. I think he does have potential to be a good villain.
my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Anakin Skywalker lmao
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Luke, Leia, and Han all three deserved better :( But also Padme
my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: Anidala, although I think that wording is maybe a LITTLE too strong. They’re very problematic. But I like them for the tragic aspect.
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Finn and Poe. Tbh, I was kind of underwhelmed by them when I saw TFA? I was expecting to be really invested in them but then they only had a few minutes of screen time together. Maybe that will change in the future but for now I prefer Finn and Rey. 
Reign: 
the first character i ever fell in love with: Mary Stuart 
a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: Bash. I don’t dislike him but I REALLY did not care much about him by the time he left the show. 
a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: I still ship S1 Kennash but they became a mess in S2. 
my ultimate favorite character™: Mary! 
prettiest character: Mary again. Adelaide Kane is gorgeous. 
my most hated character: NARCISSE. Why isn’t he dead yet? 
my OTP: Idk…I don’t really have a hardcore OTP for Reign. But my favorite ship was probably Frary, even though I hate the majority of the fanbase for it lol. I also really like Cleith.
my NOTP: L*rcisse. Fuck the writers for having Narcisse be the last person Lola saw before she died. 
favorite episode: 1x07. It was the first episode where we saw Mary and Catherine work as a team. And it was intense. 
saddest death: Lola :( But also Francis
favorite season: S1
least favorite season: S2
character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Narcisse. Although I think he has a lot of haters too lol. I don’t hate Leith anymore but I still don’t love him like a lot of the fandom does.
my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Catherine 
my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Mary. Also Lola deserved much better. 
my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: None 
my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: I thought Nostradamus and Olivia were cute in S1 but they didn’t last long enough for me to be invested.  
(And I haven’t watched any of S4 yet but that literally annoys me so much lol. I’m glad Leith isn’t dead though. I just really wish they would kill Narcisse already. He’s overstayed his welcome.)

Theory about Reign’s final episode
So, here’s my theory about the series finale of Reign (4x16).
During the 15 or 20 last minutes, there will be a retrospective of what the characters became after Mary’s death. We will see all of them die through timejumps, starting with Mary, then Catherine etc. 
So, this is how I see it happen : 
• We will see Mary being put in prison by Elizabeth. Then, we’ll see perhaps 2 or 3 minutes of her time in jail like every 5 years or something. Then, there will be a black screen and Adelaide’s voice is gonna say “I spent 20 years in this room, emprisonned by my royal cousin. Then, someday, someone came to pick me and I knew I wouldn’t see another sundown”. So, Mary will be executed first. Right before the execution, she’s gonna say her mystic quote “In my end is my beginning”. Then, Adelaide Kane’s voice will narrate the rest of the episode. 
• Claude de Valois is gonna die after Mary, I think. I don’t know what Mary is going to say since they didn’t have any relationship. Perhaps somethine like “Claude was a great woman. She fought for her beliefs and I admired her for that. May she rest in peace”.
• Then, there will be another time jump. There’s gonna be a black screen where written “France, January 5th 1589″. During Catherine de Medici’s tresspassing, Adelaide/Mary is gonna say something like “my beloved Catherine died a couple years after me. She was a mother to me, we’ve been through so much. She will live on in history”
• Then, there will be another time jump, perhaps 10 years where it’s gonna be Narcisse’s turn. I think he’s gonna die with John on his side. He’s gonna die of age. Adelaide/Mary is going to say something like “even tho he wasn’t a perfect man, he deserved to be loved. I don’t know if it is a good thing, probably not, but thanks to him I was able to go back to the country I loved. I am happy that he found a soulmate in my dear Lola but also sad that she died too soon”. And then Narcisse is gonna die and perhaps there is gonna be a flashback of Lola
• After another timejump, we’ll see Elizabeth, saddened because she was never loved by someone. We’ll see her a couple minutes before her death. She’s gonna die and her last words are gonna be something like “Mary.. I’m sorry”. Then, Adelaide/Mary is gonna say “My cousin died after 44 years or Reign over the english people. She didn’t have any heir, so my son, James is gonna be on both english and scottish thrones. We may have fought for many years but at the end, I won. That’s why in my end I found my beginning. My son is going to be a great ruler, better than anyone else. He’s gonna fight forces of darkness, forces of the heart, but he’ll find his way through it. Long may he reign”.
• The last image of the show will be an adult James, sitting on the throne of England.
• Then, there is gonna be a last black screen and Adelaide/Mary is going to say something like : “My name was, and still is, Mary Stuart. I was made queen of Scotland when I was only 6 days old. All my life, I was in danger. Everybody wanted my country and my crown. I found allies in many people, but also many enemies. I loved many men, but no one like the first. My dear Francis, I found him back in the afterlife. I trusted a lot of people but in the end, I was killed by my very own cousin and greatest enemy. But five centuries later, I am still a history icon as the same scale as my cousin Elizabeth. This was my story.”

reign, greys anatomy
REIGN (I am sorry but I have a lot of unpopular opinions with this show!!!)
my all-time ultimate fave character: Louis Conde
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: Narcisse
a character I used to like but now don’t: Francis
a character I’m indifferent about: Kenna, Greer
a character who deserved better: Conde and Bash
a ship I’ve never been able to get into: Frary. I mean i was a bit into it long ago but then it became a big nope. I like Frola better.
a ship I’ve never been able to get over: Monde
a cute, low-key ship: Mash, Julien and Lola, Cleith
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: Monde lol. Also Elizabeth and Gideon. 
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: A lot of ships tbh, esp Mary’s ships after leaving France.
my favourite storyline/moment: Most of S1 and S2. Mary and Elizabeth’s very powerful queen af moments in later seasons.
a storyline that never should have been written: Mary’s rape story line I guess? Honestly the show is a blur in my head after S2.  
my first thoughts on the show: I thought it was very interesting and dramatic and intriguing. I thought the clothes were fucking fabulous. 
my thoughts now: Why?!
GREYS ANATOMY
my all-time ultimate fave character: Alex Karev
a character I didn’t used to like but now do: April Kepner
a character I used to like but now don’t: Owen Hunt? More like indifferent towards him rn coz he doesn’t have much of a story line atm. 
a character I’m indifferent about: Meredith Grey, oops?
a character who deserved better: UM. I HAVE HUGE LIST? But mostly Mark and Lexie and Henry and George and AHH. LET’S NOT GO THERE.
a ship I’ve never been able to get into: Jackson and Maggie. 
a ship I’ve never been able to get over: Slexie. Always Slexie. Also Japril. 
a cute, low-key ship: Jolex
an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: Henry and Teddy
a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: Nothing I feel that strongly about but maybe Izzy and George lol. 
my favourite storyline/moment: That scene where Jackson and Christina are operating on Derek in that shooting episode if a forever fav tbh. And as of recently, Meredith being supportive of Jo in the episode with Paul and all of Jo’s scenes in that episode + Alex worrying abt her + Jenny! And the whole police brutality talk was just powerful. I have a lot of feelings about this show. And oh, kudos for bringing in a new trans and hijabi intern!!
a storyline that never should have been written: Spoilersss!! BUT UM SLEXIE DYING? AND REALLY ALL THE DEATH TBH. 
my first thoughts on the show: Wtf why are they killing everyone?????!!!
