TFTNT, Jade! I was going to start a thread for them tonight, but I'm glad you beat me to it. Love the title and the gif set you chose.

I hope you don't mind, but I tweaked their title and OP slightly. I took out Adelaide and Adam (we usually have separate shipper threads for the cast relationships, but we can obviously still talk about Adam and Ade here.) And I added in the Loyal Watchman bit... what do you think? I know it makes it a little longer.

I also changed the spelling of Mary's last name. When associated with the show, I've always seen it spelled Stuart. We could have just "Mary & Bothwell" or "Stuart & Bothwell"?

Added myself to the supporters list. It's early, but... I really do like what I've seen so far.

Stuart is thw moat commonly used form of her name anyway. Not just in reference to the show.

I already said in the other thread that I was going to make one

It's okay to tweak the title (could have asked) except his name is not Lord Bothwell. looks weird that you have mary's full name and not Bothwells.

I didn't see that you had asked in the episode discussion thread before I posted here. That's why I didn't respond there until later. Thanks for asking, though. Like I said, I'm grateful that you went ahead and opened it. It looks great, and it saved Amanda and I the trouble.

Sorry I changed things without asking first, but I thought it was a least necessary to fix the spelling of Mary's last name, since you had it in both the title and the OP - and to take out the actors names. Yes, I know that Lord Bothwell is simply his title, not his name. Bothwell's full name and title is James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell. But that's too long to put in the title.
And no one on the show has ever called him James. They only refer to him as Bothwell or Lord Bothwell. That's why I thought it would be less confusing if we used one of those in the title (even though I love that we have James in the OP). No one calls Darnley by his real name, Henry Stuart, either. It's just Darnley or Lord Darnley. No one generally uses Mary's last name on the show, either, so maybe it would be best to just use the one-word names that they go by in the show - {Mary & Bothwell} - in the title, like I suggested below. Does that sound ok? It really doesn't matter, as long as people are able to find the thread easily.

His smile at the end of this scene... THAT is why I am loving their dynamic.

^ cool

kerbear28

Done. Thanks, again.

ETA: Question: Has a shipper name for these two been decided on???

sourburst

I think it looks better as Stewart and Bothwell, rather than Mary. As you already have their titles Queen & Watchman

I'm not sure, I'd assume it would be something like Stuwell or something.

kerbear28

Sounds good to me. I changed it to Stuart.

Stuwell... Maybe. That seems a bit better than Marwell.

NotDoneAbusingYou

I have seen Bothary uses most on twitter and such. But I have also seen Marwell. Haven't seen any other versions so one of these will likely end up being "official" before long. Adam himself used Bothary once.

kerbear28

Bothary works, too. I think I remember when Adam used it. We'll have to see which one wins out.

kerbear28

Oh, the drama...

The thing with Bothwell is giving me bad Conde flashbacks.

kerbear28

Glad I'm not the only one who sees the parallel... we can only hope that Reign's Bothwell is more honorable than Conde (and real life Bothwell).

I do not like that they went there.
