“Love is irrelevant to people like us, a privilege we do not share. You told me that. I remember it all. Every word, every moment, for the rest of my life, I love you. But I won’t let other people die for me.”-Mary Stuart

Before Bridgerton, Reign was THAT period tv show for me. Mary and Francis' love and love story was everything.
I ain't lying when I say I ugly cried like a baby with snot on my face when Francis died. My roommate was looking at me like a crazy person😄. I mean, we all knew his death was coming right from the start. The show still took some liberties in its storytelling. They had a modern take on a historical plot, just like with Bridgerton. The dances/balls, the dresses, the raunchy scenes. And even with the music, they had classical renditions of pop songs (I know, just like Bridgerton 😁).
It was refreshing to see a modern take on a story that had been told several times. At the time, the modernization of period drama wasn't a thing for me to see. But even with the show's liberties, at the end of the day, it was still based on historical events and historically, Francis died 😔.
So when Bridgerton came along, I welcomed it with open arms.
Reign truly was an underrated show, in my opinion.

Finally watching it
Reign series is strange one. Usually when you have otp you kinda hate other ships with those characters... But here i don't, I just ...
I just CANNOT stop remembering that in real life Mary was 16 and Francis was 14 when they married... 16 & 14!!! 😮😯😲😱🤫😳
And they are beautiful but... I'm sorry, I just can't forget it everytime I see them
Probably that's one of the reasons why ⤵️
...and I just love Sebastian more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Af Yeah! Forget historical authenticity! for the sake of fandom sanity 😁
We'll see... keep watching

“Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue All's well that ends well to end up with you Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever?”
