From Tate to The Axeman, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have created some sexy, scary and memorable villains over the past six seasons of "American Horror Story." The dynamic duo has a knack of making it impossible to not love these antagonists, even making them the most well liked characters of the series. "American Horror Story" is my favorite show, and I’ve spent more time than I want to admit watching it. I’ve chosen my five favorite villains over the course of the series thus far.

Fiona Goode

I’m not a huge fan of Coven; I’ve never really been interested in the whole witch craft thing, but the drama and style of Coven was intoxicating. It wouldn’t be decent of me to leave the matriarch of Coven off my list. So here she is, the baddest witch in town, Fiona Goode.

Fionna was the type to tell you like it is no matter what, which is desirable...to a point. She was bold, maybe even a little abrasive, but most of all, she was strong and I LOVE a strong female character.

The devil inside Sister Mary Eunice

At the beginning of "Asylum," Mary Eunice is mousy, timid and completely incapable of standing up to herself. When a troubled boy comes to Briarcliff (the asylum at which Asylum takes place), he undergoes an exorcism. The devil plaguing the farm boy escapes him and inhabits Mary Eunice’s body, turning the quiet, reserved nun into a powerhouse character. With the help of the physician and the Monsignor, Mary Eunice overthrows Sister Jude to take charge of Briarcliff and run it the way she sees fit. Unfortunately in the end, Mary Eunice loses her life, but is ultimately freed from the hold the demon had on her body, soul and mind.

Sister Jude

In my opinion, Sister Jude was the best role that Jessica Lange ever portrayed in "American Horror Story." Sister Jude was a dynamic character, who went from being someone you absolutely loathed, to someone you cared about and even pitied. We first saw Jude as the woman behind the man, the right hand to Monsignor Howard and the main caretaker (if you can even call it that) at Briarcliff. She ruled with an iron fist and could even be described as abusive to her patients, because she believed that “mental illness is a fashionable explanation for sin.” After a series of events that followed Mary Eunice’s character change, she was stripped of her title and committed to Briarcliff. She was eventually saved by a former patient of hers, Kit Walker (Evan Peters) after Briarcliff was sold to the Massachusetts government. To be honest, I’ll love anything that Jessica Lange is in, but I loved this character because of the tremendous changes she went through from the pilot to the finale.

Tate Langdon:

Okay, y’all know I couldn’t leave Tate off my list. Tate is the type of villain that no matter what horrendous thing he does, you can’t hate him. Maybe it’s because Evan Peters is so gorgeous, but who can tell? I liked Tate because of the psychological elements he brings into Murder House. I’m intrigued by the relationship he and Violet shares during the season, but I’m ultimately thankful that Tate and Violet didn’t end up together due to the actions Tate displayed throughout the season.

And last but not least, my absolute favorite villain from "American Horror Story" is ...

Oliver Thredson: (spoiler alert)

I first want to say it really surprised me that he turned out to be Bloodyface. From his browline glasses, to the fact that he’s a psychiatrist, I loved everything about Oliver Thredson. Oliver is initially presented as a good guy, the man brought in to save Kit, but ultimately turns out to be a twisted, manipulative psychopath. Again, I really didn’t foresee him being that evil, but the dynamics of the character really drew me in, and I couldn’t help but love him.

It was extremely difficult for me to choose only five characters to include on my list, so I encourage all of you to create a list of your favorites and share them with your fellow fans!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
