Tftnt! Lovely OP :sigh:

Please,add me.I promised myself I wouldn do anymore shipping on this show because the writers just can't write functional couples but these two have the potential to be really good together plus I hope Antoine brings some of s1 Kenna spark back. Please just don't make her into an idiot who gets used by another king yet again.Kenna deserves more than just being a means of revenge to something she's not even responsible for.
Btw,he would've totally went after her even if there wasn't bad history between Bash and him.You can tell he was attratced to her before that and Kenna wasn't one bit amused by it.

Thank you Issi :love:
You've been added !
And yes, I would love for them to be a thing, and I hope he can bring sme of Kenna's old spark back. He's basically a walking male version of Kenna, they have potential and I hope the writers won't screw this up but knowing them...

thanks for starting this thread Mandy :)

Love the OP :love:

You started it, mandy!

Well I'm by no means a romantic shipper but I'm interested in their dynamics.

The only thing I'm interested about A/K is the possibility that Bash could be jealous :nod:

I definitely want to see jealous Bash as well :lol:
And I love AK dynamic !

But it'll be good to see her courted too. She never really was, was she? Even Henry seduced her more than he courted her!

Henry was definitely after one thing so I agree that Henry seduced Kenna more than he courted her.

Exactly, what's actually really cool about these two is that they both are VERY similar.
Silviq and I talked about it yesterday, and there are so many similarities:
They both don't care about manners:
When Kenna was wearing the necklace that Henry gave her in 1x05 Catherine told Mary "I see your lady has a new necklace, so blatantly disrespectful." and about Antoine Greer told Mary "King Antoine has a lot of nerves inviting a woman like you."
And I noticed that Conde gives Antoine the same look Mary gives Kenna when she says something questionnable, like when she said "Could she have had worst timing, he was just about to propose to me." And than they're both ambitious, and people think that they are self centered, and stupid and people underestimate them, when in fact, they're both very perceptive, and they're fiercly loyal to the people they care about (Antoine and his family/ Kenna and Bash and the ladies and Mary)
I think if kennash continue on this path, these two would be a much better couple IMO. Rigt now, I don't know what to think of what I want for Kennash, I still like them, but I don't see where the writers could go for them. I just feel like this season made them boring as hell, Kenna being a boring housewife waiting for her husband to come home, believing everything he says. She's basically becoming what Catherine told her that day in the dungeon. "You're pretty enough to land a good husband and lead a nice quite life." I don't want Kenna like that, I hope she will soon go back to who she really was.
I hate the fact that she had to "change for love", did Bash change his beliefs for her ? It's like she doesn't have a say in anything, he does what his brother wants him to do and he doesn't care about what she wants, what's best for her. It's sad really. I've come to a point where if they don't change this dynamic, I want her to be with Antoine.

I think deep down Kenna doesn't mind a nice quite life, but it's like she tried to tame her 'spicier' self in order to be 'worth' of Bash, who as we know isn't as saintly as he seems. And it's sad that she's being the housewife, really, especially since Bash didn't change one bit of himself for her or for their marriage. So being around someone slightly dangeous and quite charming as Antoine, who in addition in interested in her, it's probably going to bring out bits of Kenna again. Eventually she'll understand that she doesn't need to be the housewife or the seductress, that she can be both, but she must find one half of herself again first.

I think so as well, but Kenna's interesting side is the seductress side more than the goody goody side. Her character is morally grey and that's what I enjoy about her. As much as I know she won't mind a nice quite life, I don't think it's a thing for her especially if we want her to have a more relevant sl.
Right now, she became boring.
And I think AK has the potential of becoming a real power couple, (they're more like Chuck and Blair than Kennash imo)I know the writers will screw eventually like they did with Kennash, but I'm just hoping they won't at this point

Me too - I don't want them to hook up - I only want this to help give Kennash a reboot

Being married and being a wife doesn't automatically mean that you're no longer morally grey or that you can't get a better SL for your character. My complete objection to Kenna's current situation is her utter groveling and repeated apologies to Bash because he's being a complete knucklehead. She can be married and remain herself. And Kenna going to Antoine goes completely against the "You're done enough. You are enough." line.

Same. While I do like the actor playing Antoine, I'm not for A/K to become a canon thing.

Well yes Kenna can be married and be sassy and morally grey, but what sl can they give her ? Have babies ? A house ? That's boring for a show like reign. Look at the first half of S2, the kennash scenes were cute and I enjoyed them but they were boring as hell.

I know there's little chance for her and Antoine to be a canon thing, but I like them anyway. And also, there's the possibiity for Kenna to have a more important sl. Kenna always striked me as an Ann Boleyn kind of girl. Ambitious, who always wants something more, who's clearly aware about the effect she has on men, who believes in the right thing, who's fiercly passionate and loyal, who's sassy and unapologetic and also kind of a feminist, who's possessive, and flirty.

She lost everything that makes her her especially this season. Don't get me wrong I still love kennash and Torr and Caitlin have crazy chemistry and sell the hell out of their scenes, but these writers screw them up, their story isn't even interesting anymore except the part where Antoine comes in. And besides, how awesome would it be to have Kenna be the mother of King Henri IV ?
At this point I just want Kenna to be a more relevant character, and her relationship with Bash clearly ruined her character because the writers didn't know how to deal with it, and there's also the fact that Ben is a much better actor than Torr.

I do like Ben. He is awesome!

But they can give her SLs outside of Babies and a house, though frankly, they can make babies and a house very interesting. However, @Reignwriters is just not choosing to do so. :rolleyes:

You can find the KB and Antoine scene on the KB thread.

The KA scene:

I have to admit:

I hope so too. If he has to bring trouble for my otp at least let it be somewhat worthwhile.

I'm just so tired of it, it seems no man is really interested in Kenna unless if he wants to have sex with her or if he wants revenge. And also, Bash had to get stuck with her before he could be in love. So I hope Antoine will soon fall in love for real.
I just can't understand why all the ladies got to have men in love with them but Kenna (except for Bash but like I said he was forced)

I agree with you Mandy :nod: Kenna is definitely the resident eye candy for all the males on the show. It would be nice if they could do more with her character and focus on something other than her looks.

Typical Gossip Girl dynamic: When men used Serena they'd fall for her for real. When they used Blair they were only using her. Mary is Serena. Kenna is apparently unworthy of true love.

I just feel like it's so annoying and also very sad that the writers treat Kenna that way.
This is exactly like GG, it made me sympathize with Blair rather than Serena just like now. I can't understand why they seem to make her this creature unworthy of being loved while she's done nothing remotely wrong. Or is it that she's ambitious and they want to punish her for it ? -_-
