Many people share recs with their favorite TV shows, movies or books with me. I'm moving through them slowly, sometimes in a random order, but it's happening, so in this post, I'll cover the shows that were recommended to me and which I’ve watched. I hope you won't get upset or offended if I didn't like the show you recced: after all, such things are impossible to predict! We all have our unique preferences and perceptions.

Now, on to the list and my thoughts:

Stranger Things: Unfortunately, this show didn't work for me. I watched all seasons, but I only enjoyed S1. I appreciated its atmosphere, I liked the characters, and while I didn't think it was anything special, the plot kept me engaged. Other seasons bored me, though, and I found the arcs getting more and more impossible while also staying repetitive.

What We Do in the Shadows: At first, I couldn't get into it, but with each season, my interest increased, and by the end, I grew to love the characters and adore their dumb adventures :D I ship Nandor and Guillermo and I can't wait to see what they do with them in S4. The humor is too sexual for me at times, but once I became fond of these idiot vampires, I started to dote on everything they do. Watching them do nothing but bicker is fascinating now, lol.  

Succession: Oh, this was a hell of a ride. I got second-hand embarrassment so many times that I had to constantly hit pause to scream. Contrary to what I expected, I didn't end up shipping Tom and Greg. I'm interested in their relationship, but Greg is so shallow and his entire personality is basically centered on being embarrassing and greedy - I think Tom deserves better. The complexity, the music (ooh, the music in it), the twists and turns are brilliant, though. I think the show got a little repetitive, but I still enjoyed it a lot and I anticipate the next season.    

Wednesday: Loved it! Which is strange since I was never a fan of the Addams Family. I loved the idea of them, but the execution never appealed to me much. This show is enjoyable, has very good acting, and it presented me with a surprise ship. At first, I thought I’d end up shipping Wednesday with Enid - they have an excellent dynamic of opposites attract, but with each episode, I grew increasingly interested in Wednesday/Xavier. Loved the obsessive element of it and I hope to see more of it in S2.    

Luther: I watched only S1 because unfortunately, this show didn't appeal to me! I felt like it was very disjointed and that there were three writers working on it without consulting each other. Each arc is potentially interesting: brutal crimes, Luther as an explosive, clever, protective but abusive character, and the arc of him and Alice becoming frenemies & perhaps more. But together, they just didn't work in my eyes. Alice's involvement in Luther's life felt awkward and forced; the crimes were astonishingly violent and epic, but their resolutions seemed rushed, trivial and unimpressive; Luther's decisions often made little sense to me, and these three elements didn't seem to mix well. I watched it with my family: my Mom shared my thoughts, but my Dad loved it and he’s watching other seasons right now. 

Interview with the Vampire: YES. I'm a huge fan and I'm thrilled to have found this show. It's clever, intense, and relationship-focused; it has an obsessive, dark romance at the center and every main character is delightfully toxic, twisted and damaged. I only worry about S2 and beyond, but I have faith that everything will remain great.  

Versailles: Absolutely loved it! The first two seasons only, though - I prefer to think that the third one doesn't exist. This seems to be a common opinion among the fans. The music, the characters, their dynamic, the plot and of course the captivating atmosphere of those times... An actor who played Mordred in my favorite 'Merlin' being one of the protagonists was a surprise and made me even more in love. His dynamic with his brother was delightful to watch: it's complex, toxic but also deeply loving. This show is unique in that my most favorite thing about it is a solo character. I grew obsessed with Fabien, a torturer and executioner working for the king. He's perfection, and I would gladly watch a spin-off with him as the central character.

If I forgot some of the shows I watched by accident, I'll make a separate post later on.  

Also, just so you'd know: I don't usually post asks with recs that I haven't tackled yet - they serve as a summary of why I should watch something, but please rest assured that if you sent it, I saw it and added it to my list. When I get to it, I'll post your ask! I'll also start answering questions about the shows you recced and which I've already watched soon.

What I would serve the characters of Versailles at an ice cream shop

I work at an ice cream shop as one of my jobs and I thought it would be fun to think of what I would serve each of the characters!

I might do this for The Great sometime.

Chevalier: brownie sundae

Not only is it really pretty, it’s the most *extra* thing on our menu (hot fudge sundae with brownie pieces, whipped cream, and a cherry). Only the best for my boy :)

Phillipe: 2 scoops of cookies & cream in a chocolate waffle cone

Idk why but I get cookies and cream vibes from Phillipe (maybe it’s the dark hair/pale skin combo?) 2 scoops in a special cone because he deserves it <3

Liselotte: raspberry lemon cheesecake in a waffle cone with sprinkles

One thing I know is that Liselotte is definitely a sprinkle girl! Idk but I think she would like the flavour.

Fabien: Cappuccino milkshake

He probably needs coffee. Also he doesn’t have time for a cone, so he gets a shake.

Louis: child size peach jalapeño

I can’t give him nothing because he is king, but peach jalapeño is our worst flavour and sometimes he has the maturity of a child, hence what I’m serving him.

Bontemps: 1 scoop of pistachio

Why does Bontemps scream pistachio to me? 1 scoop is all he deserves.

Sophie: Strawberry oat milk

I associate Sophie with pink and I think she would want something a bit more mature than bubblegum.

Madame de Montespan: child size vanilla

Nothing special, just the bare minimum. Only gets ice cream because she’s kinda gaslight gatekeep girlboss.

Madame de Maintenon: nothing

I would make her watch everyone else get their ice cream and then give nothing to her.

There is currently an issue going on with the Versailles offical account. If you weren't aware, the Versailles Instagram and Twitter are now @/marieantoinette.

Especially as a fan, I understand feeling upset and hurt over this as it seems like a permanent close to the Versailles chapter.

However, this is likely a marketing strategy reeling people into the new show! Marie Antoninette show is about Marie/Versailles but in a different era and so I assume a way for them to appeal to the audience, it makes sense to promote themselves to an audience which already has ties to a Versailles show.

I also do not think it is laziness or malice. I don't work in social media but I know nothing comes free in the industry. It is likely there was some sort of contract, agreement or the option of them selling/buying the accounts.

It is also important to note that the Versailles Instagram hasn't been active since 2018/2019 and the Twitter account was last active in 2020. They were not actively posting about Versailles and keeping those accounts alive.

The team of the new series have also kept up all the posts on Versailles which they didn't have to! In fact it's quite common to delete everything and start with a new slate, but they didn't. All of the old content relating to Versailles is still there.

I don't agree with what is happening in regards to Versailles fans mass reporting the accounts, sending hate and harassing the new account + their social media team.

There are so many fans who are basically harassing the production company AND the account and its like? The accounts haven't been active for atleast 2yrs now and there are so many other versailles accounts who are active - some of which have a larger following then the offical account did anyway

on hindsight merlin can never be fabien marchal because marchal negotiates/tortures/does everything to keep prisoner alive in exchange for information and loyalty

marchal is morgana ahahahha

merlin has the more "kill first, sweep everything under the rug" attitude.

#thots #merlin x versailles

I know I’m 3 years late to the party, but why did they do Fabien dirty like that?!?! Ughhhhh… I would have liked some sort of closure after all that thank you very much. I’ll just pretend Sophie came back and broke him out of prison. As a spy for Leopold, I’m sure she had some connections. Also, I would have never thought the two other people I’d get emotional over would be damn Colbert and Louvois in that last episode. But that last scene with my favorite thouple… chef’s kiss! Thank you to the creator of this gif.
