Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell :D

[brideoffrankenstein]

Yay!

Favorite Male Character: John. Bloody. Childermass. Like is there any other possible answer?

Favorite Female Character: My first instinct was Arabella? But I'm REALLY not sure I can pick between her and Emma at the end of the day. And Mrs Brandy is so great, and of course there's always Mrs Bullworth, who I almost called Maria Edgeworth, which, no, self.

Least Favorite Character: I think it's gotta be Drawlight. He's fun and all...but he threw a cat out of a window.

Favorite Ship: I am going to surprise no-one here when I say Childermass/Norrell. Their strange, tense, intense relationship is Everything I Like, especially when it's done as a Very Bad Idea or as neither one thing nor another. I'm not big on alloromantic ships though; I like things to be ambiguous.

Favorite Friendship: If I can have Childermass+Norrell again please? If not, Stephen and Emma.

Favorite Quote: Oh man. I would have said the prophecy but I'm just thinking now and I think Childermass's speech to Lascelles about the Raven King and the North, or that bitterly sarcastic line of Ch's to Strange about being a terrible pupil, "worse even than you"*

Worst Character Death (if any): Oh gosh, hm. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Moss-Oak Arabella's. Not because the death is sad, but because it's so terribly unfair to Moss-Oak Arabella to take her from her brothers and sisters and use her in that way.

This made me so happy you have no idea Moment: The part where Norrell risks his standing to TELL THE DUKE OF FUCKING DEVONSHIRE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Saddest Moment:

The Childerrell divorce. Ouch. Fuckin ouch.

Favorite Location: Can I just.....the whole of Yorkshire.


*I maintain Ch is telling Strange here that he's a better magician than Strange. Being an opinionated magician with the skills to match it is, after all, part of what made Strange a bad pupil. Which, roast him John. Patronising bastard man. (love him, but he's a patronising bastard man)

The part where Norrell risks his standing to TELL THE DUKE OF FUCKING DEVONSHIRE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Hell yeah! I don't think Norrell even considered that he would be risking his standing. He just can't believe that someone would talk over Childermass when Childermass clearly knows so much more than them and is saying something interesting. I can almost see Norrell's annoyance at the whole thing. He's like, "Dude, what do you think you are you doing? Childermass is speaking."
