Slow afternoon at work. So slow, in fact, that I'm doing a meme. I have this weird aversion to most memes, probably stemming from an entirely juvenile desire not do stuff that every else is, GOSH. (My Napoleon Dynamite joke is crippled by the fact that a) it's the internet so you can't hear my impression and b) it's not the fall of 2004.)

Stolen from

Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag anytime
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise.

Most of my major fandoms are listed in my userinfo. BUT let's mix this up (and simultaneously cater to my desire to appear as though I know something about everything) and say that you can name whatever fandom you want, and if I don't have an opinion I will MAKE ONE UP.

1. The first character I first fell in love with: Rodney. Brave Little Toaster Rodney!
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: John Sheppard. Like many people I suspect, I thought of him more as an attractive but cookie-cutter scifi hero type at first. Thanks to fanon and the Flan’s performance, he definitely became, bizarrely, the character I related to the most on the show. (Elizabeth gets runner up as the character I never loved much until she was gone, sigh.)
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Carson? I know a lot of people loved him, but I never did.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Lucius. (Kidding! Though I do like Richard Kind a lot. I guess I’m a total sheep when it comes to SGA.)
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Season 5 Rodney. Sigh.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Teyla. Mostly though I want Teyla to be my friend.
7. The character I'd want to be like: Zelenka. Smart, wears glasses, hates children, there you go.
8. The character I'd slap: Carson. Get a fucking grip, man!
9. A pairing that I love: McShep
10. A pairing that I despise. Sheppard/Weir. I will never in a million years understand why that was ever seen as a romantic relationship. (I’m being an obnoxious slasher here, but SORRY HET PEEPS YOU WAS GRASPING AT STRAWS.)

You know: I agree 100% with you on all accounts. I loved Rodney from the start and never thought I'd love John as much as I did in the end (though Woolsey is a close second) and I absolutely HATE Season 5 Rodney (what the hell did they do to him? *sobs*). Also never got Sheppard/Weir. At all. That's just so wrong on so many accounts... And if it makes you feel better: Carson was never my most loved character either. Never got the fuss about the guy.

Agreed! And Season 5 Rodney was one of the great tragedies of my fannish life.
