Floofy Bois

least favorite character: Ned Stuart 🚫👎

favorite sidekick: Willie is the most sidekick character to ever exist so I'm gonna go with him

favorite romantic (canon) ship: is it wrong to say Carolyn and Jeb??? I'm kinda starting to root for their love

least favorite romantic (canon) ship: when they try to ship Barnabas and Maggie it does make me cringe, I must say. But the worst HAS to be Victoria and Peter/Jeff. She deserves sooooo much better.

favorite romantic (headcanon) ship: I wish the writers had had the guts to make Julia and Barnabas a couple. It would make sense AND be age appropriate. I don't really ship them, I'm more into their friendship, but I do think it could have been interesting to see it play out

least favorite romantic (headcanon) ship: I can't really think of any fandom ships that I find particularly annoying? I feel like the dark shadows fandom on tumblr is really chill about shipping? I haven't seen any that I hate.

least favorite friendship: Quentin and Barnabas. In what universe would these two get along??? Lol but in all seriousness I don't really mind it THAT much.

favorite sibling (canon or not) relationship: Sarah and Barnabas 😢

favorite duo: Barnabas and Julia

favorite antagonist / villain: hard to choose because there's so many fun ones but I gotta go with Angelique

least favorite antagonist / villain: Dirk Wilkins

favorite episode: it's so hard to choose a specific episode since there are just soooo many. But maybe the costume party?

least favorite episode: I wasn't a fan of most of 1897 😬

least favorite subplot: again I went by the ones listed on the dark shadows wiki, for me it's Jeff Clark, I never liked him or his story

favorite plot: again I'm using the dark shadows wiki for these, I think it's a tie between Barnabas the Vampire, the search for Barnabas' cure, and 1795

least favorite plot: 1897 and the hand of count petofi 😬

favorite plothole: how they kept forgetting that petofi didn't have his hand until recently 🤣

least favorite plothole: they're all funny to me but the way they keep changing the timeline from 1795 to 1796 to 1797 is just annoyingggg

showrunners' missed opportunity: they should have respected women more in general and given Victoria more to do so that Alexandra would have stayed

favorite casting: they're all so perfect for their roles it's hard to choose? I'm gonna go with Jonathan as Barnabas though because he does creepy vampire so well!

least favorite casting: roger davis in general

favorite scene: so hard to choose just one! Honestly though, Maggie stumbling into the blue whale after escaping from windcliff is so good!!!

least favorite scene: any ned stuart scene, also any of the many slapping scenes in 1897 (imagine if the writers respected women. Would sure be nice)

favorite character arc: I think Barnabas has had a lot of good character growth, especially after being cured of vampirism, he learned a lot about caring for other people and being a good guy instead of a villain. Of course, he still relapses all the time. But still.

least favorite character arc: I'm going with Naomi Collins because I love her and I don't agree with what happened at the end of her arc. Naomi would have stayed for Daniel Collins I think.

favorite prop: the music box!

favorite scenery: the old graveyard is so fun to me BUT I also love the courtyard with the fountain

favorite pet character: there aren't really any pets? Unless you count the werewolf, or the time Joshua was turned into a cat.

favorite quote: I like when Naomi is confronting Reverend Trask and really lets him have it

favorite parent & child relationship: Barnabas with both Joshua and Naomi

least favorite parent & child relationship: does Quentin care about his children/descendants at all??????

favorite running gag in the show: "let's have a seance!"

did I see the original run: no, I wasn't born yet

how long have I been a fan: oh gosh. 15 years maybe???

one thing I would change: more respect for women please!!!!!

best executed trope: I think they did dracula and frankenstein tropes really well, in their own way

could've been better executed trope: I really liked the orpheus and eurydice thing with Quentin and Amanda in the underworld but I wish it had been a longer arc. I think it was fun, and I would have watched more of it.

one character I'd like to meet, why: Julia because she's so cool

one character I hope I never meet, why: Angelique because she scares me

one character I wish I'd be friends with: Victoria Winters, I think she'd be a really good friend.

one character I'm attracted to: Tony Peterson

one episode I wish I'd starred in: I don't know about a specific episode but I think it'd be fun to play Angelique
