Fandoms include (but are not limited to): Akitsuki Koh, Baldur's Gate, Blake and Avery, Discworld, His Majesty's Dragon, Injection, MCU, Onmyoji, Saiyuki, Sherlock (BBC, Ritchieverse), Sugiura Shiho, The Goblin Emperor, The Queen's Thief, The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, WWE (Raw, Smackdown, NXT)

1. The first characterI 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 dislikes
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character/person I would shag anytime
7. The character/person I'd want to be like
8. The character/person I'd slap

Ooh, flemmings already took my first choice, so I'll pick MCU. OR Saiyuki. Too hard to choose just one.

I'll do Saiyuki in a reply to the top-level post, so here's MCU:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
Loki, but you've probably already guessed that. His character and background hit so many of my narrative kinks, and that's even before you throw Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of him into the mix.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Steve Rogers. Captain America was a total obligation view for me because I have to read/watch everything in order, but holy crap did Chris Evans sell me on him. Or maybe I've just grown into a taste for earnest and decent characters (vice Sanzou's caustic charisma) in my old age.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
Tony Stark (don't hate me). Which isn't to say that I dislike him by any means, but he's just eclipsed by so many other characters--Loki, Thor, Cap, Bucky, Coulson, Drax, Heimdall, Darcy--I love more.

4. The character I love that everyone else dislikes
Honestly, Laufey and Malekith, whom I see as two characters whose existences are imperilled by the stories' protagonists rather than inherently evil.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
See no. 3 above.

6. The character/person I would shag anytime
Eheheh, you know me well enough to know the answer to this already.

7. The character/person I'd want to be like
Cap, for the earnestness and goodness and decency and dedication, all without losing a dry sense of humor.

8. The character/person I'd slap
Odin. Fuck that guy.

9. A pairing that I love
Thor/Loki, but specifically from a "what are we to each other now that we aren't family" angle. Jane/Darcy. Steve/Bucky.

10. A pairing that I dislike
Thor/Loki when the focus is on incest kink. Loki/Tony. Loki/Jane.
