~Lovely Blog Party: Couples for Couples Tag~


Well, since I have seen a lot of this tag around I thought I could do it myself, because it looks like fun. Cordy from Any Merry Little Thought made it, and I'll be making it today.


Ivanhoe and Rebecca: Name a couple that should have been together.



I don't think Ivanhoe and Rebecca should have ended up together(that is, from what I can remember from the movie we saw a very long time ago, I didn't think they should've ended up together), by the way. But to the answer. I agree with Olivia that Rory and Jess should have ended up together, she's absolutely right about that one, but I will choose a different answer than hers. 
I'll go totally off base and say Kate and William from A Knights Tale. I didn't like Jocelyn and I thought Kate should have ended up with William. I was surprised she didn't. I though she was better for William than Jocelyn.


Jo and Laurie: Name a couple that should have stayed friends...or did stay friends...

Fisher Bloom and Laura Timmins. I still think that Laura should have chosen him instead of Daniel Parish, because I didn't like last said so very much. But since she didn't, they should have stayed friends.


Jane and Mr Rochester: Name a couple that looked like the chances of a happily ever after were next to none!


Uhm...I'm trying to do couples that no one did yet, so this is quite hard. Maybe Lorelai&Luke from Gilmore Girls? Because they certainly had a rough path to their happily ever after. There was Max and there was Rachel, there was Christopher and Nicole, and Alex and Jason and then Christopher again and then there was this problem called ''Anna Nardini'' and her daughter April(who I liked, by the way, but she was a problem for L&L's relationship) and then again Christopher. And then in ''A Year in the Life'' there was this problem with Richards death and them hiding from eachother again. So yeah, they really had a lot of problems and it was only at the very last that they had their happily ever after.





Jane and Mr Bingley: Name a couple that is just sooo happy!

Alec and Janet King. They are so sweet to eachother and very happy together, with their children and the farm and their family and...just everything!


Kit and Ella: Name your favourite fairytale couple

I know a lot of people already chose this fairytale couple, and I also know I said I'd try to do couples that no one else does, but this says: ''favourite''. So, I choose my real favourite fairytale couple. Eugene and Rapunzel from Tangled. I love those two so much!



Molly Gibson and Roger Hamley: Name a couple where the woman is basically ignored by the suitor until the end of the story (frustration at its finest!! :P :P)

This was literally the only picture that I could find of Agnes on Pinterest. Anyway, it was pretty hard to choose one that is not Molly and not Amy, and not Fanny. Until I remembered Agnes, from David Copperfield BBC. She was ignored by the suitor(David Copperfield) until the end. And indeed, frustration at its finest ;)


Sarah and Jacob Witting: Name a couple that found love later in life


Oh man. Miss Matty and Thomas Holbrook are taken, and also Mrs Hughes and Mr Carson. I think...
Lady Mae and Harry Selfridge.



Don Lockwood and Kathy Seldon: Name a couple from a musical

Uhm...musicals, musicals...Newsies is chosen, and so are The Sound of Music and Singin' in the Rain is above mentioned, so, I guess Truly Scrumptious and Caractus Potts then, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I can't think of anyone else but them, don't know a lot of musicals.


Anne and Gilbert: Name a couple that didn't start out on the right foot


Margaret Hale and John Thornton. No one chose that one, right?




Faramir and Eowyn: Name a couple with the sweetest love story


As Hasan and Marguerite are already chosen, and Robin and Marian also, I will say
Alf and Minnie. They are so sweet and I love those two together! Oh wait, did someone else already pick them? You know what, let me do one answer different and choose them anyway. If they're not chosen, then I answered this question like I did with every answer :)


That was the end! I am not sure if you can tag anyone, so I won't. You can just do it if you want to, like I did. Consider yourself tagged by me, if you want to. (And I really mean that, you know :D)

And at last, a gif of Robin and Marian, because they just have to be in here.

~Robin Hoods ''minor'' characters~


You know which Robin Hood I'm talking about, right?


If you don't know: it's the BBC series, of course. There have been some characters in RH BBC that only appeared in a few episodes or only one. I haven't had a Robin Hood BBC post in quite a long time, so why not one of less shown characters? Any objections? Going once...going twice..okay, sold!


Nr 1: Carter

 
...I wanted him to stay in the show, I liked him. He saved every member of the outlaws even though he was going against his king, did everything Robin Hood said him to do without hesitating whether or not it was too dangerous. And the sheriff killed him and we didn't even see a proper funeral. Just a grave with his shield on it. Okay, let's face it; the death of Marian was sad enough, I didn't need another reason for crying, but I would've liked him to have a decent funeral where we can see the gang actually say goodbye to him, however sad that would have been. I wish he hadn't died.

Nr 2: Legrand
I also liked Legrand a lot. He protected the gang and the queen, but he himself died for it. His laugh...it makes you laugh, it's a really deep laugh and....well, you can't help but laugh or at least smile when you hear that laugh(if you watched the show, you probably know what I'm talking about). I didn't want him to die either, but hey, that's what BBC likes to do most, right? Take an example to...there are a lot of examples, but to name just one, or actually three: Allan, Robin, Marian. Need I say more? Or wait, I'll be evil and show you:

                                                                              
Okay, maybe I shouldn't have done that, because I am the one tearing up here. My own fault. *trying to laugh it away, but miserably failing*


Nr 3: Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine



 She's the mother of king Richard and prince John. And yeah, I didn't like her. Actually, I found it a bit weird. You know, Little John carrying her, and ''big bear''. Although I laughed at the end of the episode when the gang teased Little John with that nickname, because they were all happy and careless for a moment. But I didn't like the queen. I...I don't know, I found her a bit exaggerating(if that makes any sense). I just didn't like her.


Nr 4: Meg



Ignore Isabella on the right for a moment
Meg was not afraid to say what she thought and to speak against someone. She was brave, smart and she brought out the good side in Guy. I really liked her, but of course, she died too. Isabella had to ruin it again, like she ALWAYS does! *angry growl*


Nr 5: Eve

Eve was a character I also liked, but she only appeared in one episode and never again, even though Much said he would come back for her. They plain old simple forgot she was ever on the show. I wouldn't have mind if she showed up more. They could have put her in instead of Kate. But she disappeared...


Nr 6: Count Friedrich
The count was funny, I liked him. Some more episodes with him in it would be nice. He had me laughing, so...and Guy was irritated by him. Even better. Marian is not meant to be with you, Guy of Gisborne, why won't you understand that?


Nr 7 and 8:

Alice, Little Johns wive and his son(also Little John). Her I did not like, to say it in Little Johns words. I liked little Little John, but I didn't really like Alice. Frankly, I found her a bit annoying. She acted like Little John did something terrible. He didn't know he had a son, did he? Don't blame him for it, will you? I was actually glad she left, though I didn't like that little Little John left, because I liked him. But he deserved to start a new and safe life. And at least he now knew that his father was alive, and a member of Robin Hoods gang(something to be proud of, and he was).


Nr 9: Roy


I wouldn't say he was my favourite character or one of the favourites, but I was sad when he died. Don't mistake me, I liked Roy, I did. He was very brave; he sacrificed himself for his mother and the gang. If he stayed in the show, I wouldn't mind, as long as Djaq could stay also.


Nr 10: Devina

 

And her I didn't like, of course. She was the only one who the sheriff cared for, but she died. And then the sheriff wanted to get Robin, dead or alive. While it wasn't even really his fault that she died, it was her own. She moved and the snake bit. I was happy she wasn't on the show anymore.


That was all. I have the feeling that I just forgot someone, but anyway...that was the end. It was nice to talk about Robin Hood BBC again, it was far too long ago!

So long, farewell, aufwiedersehen, goodbye!
