The Same Old Thing We Did Last Week

[redbrunja]

So, on the way down to Eugene, my phone broke, and I got a new one today. It's charging up, and I can't do anything with it at the mo, but holy mother of god do I need to download some ringtones, because the ones it came with are fucking atrocious.

And now, memage from meganbmoore:

Choose a fandom and I will tell you:

1. The character most likely to fall in love with the wrong person
2. The character whom I'm embarrassed to admit I adore
3. The character that would send me screaming in the opposite direction IRL despite being fascinating in fiction.
4. The character with the most annoying personality quirks
5. The character I most admire and why
6. The character with the worst temper
7. The character most likely to fail at everything
8. The pairings I prefer in canon
9. The pairings I prefer in fanon
10. The character with the most personal growth in canon

I freely admit that Alec is my favorite character(though, in all honesty, if I started watching the show for the first time now, I'm not sure I'd still like him, as I've grown extremely critical of the character type due to over exposure) but yeah, if you don't like Max and/or Logan, there's really no point in watching the show.

I've seen a LOT of the "this is my OTP, even though I don't like her" (I...I admit I'm kinda guilty of the opposite, except it tends to be "I probably wouldn't like him if he weren't so hung up on her," if you know what I mean...kind of like how I can't help but slightly like McKay in SGA when his crush on Sam shows up, or when he's being protective of Elizabeth) from people, often from people who slam slash fans for being jealous of female characters, when they just seem to be jealous of them themselves.

See, I think 'if he didn't have this one character trait I wouldn't like him' is a much more reasonable response than 'I don't like him/her but I ship this relationship anyway,' you know?

Yeah. Very often, it is one trait that determines whether or a character is liked, or even loved.
