[sherrilina]

First off, in my last post I meant to thank cuposunny and decadentdream for the holiday cards, thedoingofit and kilodalton for the vgifts, and nbaeker for the adorable holiday Treehaus fic! *hugs* I should have all of my cards sent off by tomorrow, I'm trying to finish them tonight (yes, I'm late, whatever! :p)

Anyway, has everyone seen the season 2 trailer for The Borgias yet? So epic-looking, even

Heh they should join up with Thomas and form a Trolls Club! :p

And okay sweet, I just finally caught up with season 2 last night! ;)

Downton Abby:

Favourite character: Lady Edith Crawley, haters gonna hate...
Least Favourite character: Branson! Ugh he was so smug and obnoxious this season...
5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): Matthew/Mary, Thomas/Blind Lieutenant, Edith/Patrick (the real one), Robert/Cora...and IDK, that's it? Maybe Robert/Jane sort of in a very wrong way
Character I find most attractive: Matthew
Character I would marry: Matthew again (except that he belongs with Mary! ;))
Character I would be best friends with: NGL I think I could see myself getting along with Edith nicely enough, especially in season 2, or maybe Sybil in s1 (she's so nice, and I love her politics in s1).
A random thought: When I first saw the promotional posters for DA in Cardiff/London in September 2010 I thought that Thomas was the same guy who played Brother Mine in DW, though I was wrong...
An unpopular opinion: That my favorite character is Edith, and that I actually enjoy Thomas for being the massive troll he is, even in s1?
Canon OTP: Matthew/Mary!
Non-canon OTP: Thomas/Lieutenant Courtenay I guess (dammit, why cut so short so soon? ;_;)
Most badass character: I think I gotta go with Violet, the true HBIC of the place! ;) Followed by Mary and O'Brien...
Pairing I am not a fan of: After s2, Sybil/Branson and Anna/Bates, got they were so annoying and repetitive, I don't see what either woman sees in their respective LI. :s
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Sybil
Favourite friendship: Thomas & O'Brien, the Evil Dynamic Duo of Trolls! ;) I love their little cigarette pow-wows and how O'Brien does genuinely seem to care for him and miss him when he's at war.
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: IDK, Robert and Cora seem like okay parent I guess, for the time? Or maybe Mrs. Hughes and Carson, especially if Carson was as attached to me as he is to Mary...

What about you? :)

I'm glad you like Edith too, she doesn't get enough love...(on the show or in fandom, poor dear). I also ship her with Anthony Strallen (or rather, with happiness/finding love, so if he gives that to her I'm all for it!), I should have put that on my list....

And lol, there are a lot of Branson haters on my flist actually, but yeah, glad you agree! I was so annoyed by him and the rushed love that they were my least favorite pairing, replacing Anna/Bates (though ugh that sex scene was THE WORST! O_o My eyes were bleeding...).

Thomas/Sarah! My gay trolls are the best!

Have they ever said O'Brien is gay on the show, or you just inferring it? :s I'm just making sure I didn't miss something at some point...though I can see it. In any case, she and Thomas are definitely my TrOLLTP! ;)

Oooh could you link me to your fanmix and such? :D I missed a lot of your DA posts early on because I had been planning to watch and didn't want spoilers...but yeah, I kind of want to write some fic for Edith or do something, I think she's a very relatable character...and YES, I WATCHED THE SPECIAL LAST NIGHT, OMG SO WONDERFUL! <333 And leagues better than the DW one, tbh.

Heh, I think we saw ENOUGH just seeing Bates' shoulders bare...:p

Thanks for the link, looks like a great selection of songs! :) Poor girl...

Have you seen the DW one yet?
