Give me a character and I will tell you:

And now, I suppose, I should get on with more of the kiss meme ficlets from the other week. Oh, and update![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Date: 2011-04-24 04:30 am (UTC)* How I FEEEEEL about this character
I LOVE HER AND I WANT TO BE HER WHEN I GROW UP.
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
The First Doctor, the Second Doctor, the Third Doctor, the Fourth Doctor, the Fifth Doctor, the Sixth Doctor, the Seventh Doctor, the Eighth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor, the Tenth Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor and any other Doctors that may follow. Including the apocrypha. River/Lumley!Doctor!
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
Amy! People say their relationship is maternal, but I think that's just because of River's age. They just seem to have so much mutual respect and admiration, and also they're fun together.
* My unpopular opinion about this character
It's not perfect, but overall I like her ending in "Forest of the Dead". It feels right that a character who recognises and appreciates the stories of her own life should become a storyteller.
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I know I joked about this in email, but if the 50th anniversary special consists solely of River being photoshopped into scenes from Classic Who, I'd really be okay with that.

Date: 2011-04-25 11:29 pm (UTC)Quite irrationally affectionate, since he was my very first Doctor. But also a little afraid. When I was young, I thought the Doctor was there to protect us from the monsters, and the companion was there to protect us from the Doctor.
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
- Romana
- River Song
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
ACE! And also Mel! I kind of wish there had been more adventures with the three of them.
* My unpopular opinion about this character
I'm really glad the Cartmel Master Plan didn't go ahead, because that was rubbish.
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I wish he'd had a slightly better death, even though I appreciate the irony of the master schemer being felled by something as unpredictable as gang violence.

Date: 2011-04-25 11:39 pm (UTC)I LOVE HER. I also empathise with her. Is that strange?
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
TOPH! Mai! Ty Lee, sometimes!
Zuko.Zuko and Mai.* My non-romantic OTP for this character
I have trouble seeing Azula/Ty Lee as anything other than abusive, but I would like to think they can properly be friends if Azula recovers.
* My unpopular opinion about this character
I don't think she's actually a sociopath. I strongly believe that Ozai started grooming her as his own personal tool from the moment she started firebending, alienating her from her mother, encouraging her worst instincts and generally raising her to follow in his own personality disordered footsteps. So she has a lot of sociopathic traits, but they're learned behaviours/immature behaviours that were never checked. I don't think she'd be so devoted to her father, or so thrown by Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal if she were actually a full-blown sociopath.
Correspondingly, I don't think she's going to be in a long-term state of psychosis. Having been under enormous stress from early childhood, the realisation that she meant as little to Ozai as Zuko was the final trigger for a temporary psychotic break. Whether she can recover from both that and her childhood abuse depends on the care she receives and her own willingness to participate, but I don't see her spending the rest of her life in an asylum. Of course, whether she would want to be a subject of Zuko's is another matter all together.
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I wish we'd had a little more time to track her breakdown. But that's a problem with the final half of the third season overall.

Date: 2011-04-25 11:42 pm (UTC)HE IS GREAT. And also the perfect supporting character, in that he's interesting in his own right, and has his own stories, but is ... supportive.
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
Amy Pond. Jeff-from-Leadworth. Eleventy.
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
River, maybe? I like them as friends, I'm not sure I see them as more.
* My unpopular opinion about this character
1. Spending 2000 years guarding the Pandorica was heroic and epic, not creepy.
2. Rory basically is the bisexual community of Leadworth.
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I really hope we get an episode where he has to save the world, and his friends, all by himself. And I'd like to know more about his family.
Oh, and I also think there should be a thing where, every episode he has to wear a different historical military uniform. That would be GREAT.

* All the people I ship romantically with this character
Rory, Eleventy, Eleventy and Rory!
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
River! I mean, that's not to say I wouldn't read River/Amy fic, but I just like their friendship.
* My unpopular opinion about this character
Sometimes I fear that "Amy is great!" is an unpopular opinion. D:
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I wish my fanon that she studied art at uni was canon.

Date: 2011-04-26 12:25 am (UTC)I HAVE AS MANY FEELINGS ABOUT ZUKO AS HE HAS ABOUT ... EVERYTHING.
Well, not quite. But I do have LOTS OF FEELINGS. Like, I love that he seems like he should be really cool, because he's angsty all the time, but once he lets go of his emo, he's actually a great big goof. And I love that he's such a realistic and reasoned portrayal of an abused kid, whose choices are influenced by his terrible childhood, but who still takes responsibility for those choices.
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
MAI!
Azula!The lack of Zuko/Mai/Ty Lee in the world is probably designed especially to oppress me. Likewise Zuko/Mai/Aang. I sometimes read Zuko/Sokka or Zuko/Jet, although mostly I feel like m/m slash has an overabundance of penises. I like the idea of Zuko and Katara, older and widowed, letting their friendship become more, but breaking up the canon couples for that ship feels wrong.But mostly, I ship Zuko/Mai, and a fic for any other pairing where Zuko's feelings for Mai aren't acknowledged gets a back button from me.
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
Toph! I don't ship them romantically, because I have a really, really hard time seeing Toph as straight, but their BFFery warms my heart. Also Katara, and ... really everyone. If there was a spin-off called "Random Characters Hanging Out With Zuko", I'd be pretty pleased.
* My unpopular opinion about this character
Zuko and Katara, as teenagers, would make a really terrible couple. It would end in explosions.
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
I understand the reasons why Zuko's reunion with his mother was cut, but I'm sorry we never got to see it.
