It is perfectly okay to give me more than one show, just so you know. This can also be extended to things not strictly television specific (webseries or film series, for example).

CARMILLA

My all-time ultimate fave character: Carmilla Karnstein. ♥
A character I didn't used to like but now do: Perry. Although to be fair, I didn't dislike her, I just was rather indifferent to her character at first because we didn't see nearly enough of her at the start to really form an opinion other than her being LaFontaine's neurotic and "in complete denial of the paranormal" best friend, but then things got really interesting in the second season onward and I enjoyed seeing her backstory in Season Zero.
A character I used to like but now don't: I went back and forth with Laura, particularly in the second season, but we were supposed to question her choices and actions at that point. I disliked Laura for the things she said to Carmilla and the way she acted, but that was the point of her character development.
A character I'm indifferent about: Danny.
A character who deserved better: Funnily, Danny kind of deserved better in the third season. She wasn't really present aside from a few scenes and voice acting moments, and at the end everything about her character went unresolved? I'm hoping there is something more for her in the movie. Same goes for Kirsch as well. I also think that J.P. deserved better, because while he was incredibly helpful my heart hurt for what happened to him. And Mattie, as well. It was a shocking moment when she was killed, and although we saw her plenty of the third season as a spirit, I still think she deserved much better.
A ship I've never been able to get into: Danny/Laura. Something about them together rubs me the wrong way, mostly because of how Danny treated Laura in the first season, which she was rightfully called out on.
A ship I've never been able to get over: Carmilla/Laura. Sure, they had their ups and downs, but the fact that this is a canon F/F relationship that didn't end tragically is just downright amazing and beautiful.
A cute, low-key ship: I don't know whether I ship it romantically or platonically, but I really enjoyed the relationship between Danny/Kirsch, since I thought it was adorable, which makes what happened in the third season so heartbreaking (Kirsch still believed in Danny even after everything, just ow my heart). Also LaFontaine/JP connection I found rather adorable, as well.
An unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: Idk if there is one? At least not one that I enjoyed, anyway.
A ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: N/A
My favourite storyline/moment: Season Zero was super fun because, while it was obviously a sponsored minisode interlude they worked it in perfectly with the lore of the show, and it provided us with some amazing backstory for some of the characters. Season three was filled with so many perfect moments and storylines: everything involving the sentient magical library, bringing in Laura's father briefly, the alternate universe arc, it was all so beautifully crafted and well-done all around.
A storyline that never should have been written: Nothing comes to mind because I feel like everything that was presented in the webseries had its purpose and fit perfectly, the storytelling was top-notch from beginning to end so I have no complaints whatsoever.
My first thoughts on the show: Seeing the gifs and people talking about it, I was rather curious as to what it was about. All I knew it featured plenty of women and LGBT representation, and I was already intrigued by one character being described as the "useless lesbian vampire", lol.
My thoughts now: BEAUTIFUL PERFECT WEBSERIES, EXCELLENT STORYTELLING. SAD IT'S OVER. BUT MOVIE COMING OUT THIS YEAR YAY! No seriously, I never imagined that I would have loved this webseries, but I basically marathoned the first season in an entire afternoon (before the second season had come out, btw) and I was immediately hooked. And I could not have asked for a better webseries than this. Three seasons, and it wrapped everything up beautifully. ♥
