I am kinda loving the mini-revival non-tumblr, non-twitter fandom's been undergoing recently. In that retro spirit, let's do a meme. Pick a fandom you know I like and I'll answer the questions below:

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
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I dislike

これで以上です。

Oh if you pick Saiyuki (which was what I was going to go for) I wouldn't mind seeing your answers for Sherlock BBC verse ... ...

I'll do a Saiyuki rundown later tonight as a top-level reply. In the meantime, here's BBC Sherlock:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
Lestrade, for his long-suffering wryness. As I said in another reply above, I'm not a fan of the mystery or detective genres, but apparently I have a huge thing for the dry, slightly-put-upon detective.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Mycroft, who was always just a background wallpaper pattern kinda character to me until Gatiss made him the most intriguing thing about the series.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
Do people love Eurus? Her character was horrendously mishandled.

4. The character I love that everyone else dislikes
I don't think there is one; all of my favorites seem to be crowd favorites.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
Sherlock, after the final series turned him from a humanized misanthrope back into a Marty Stu with a ridiculous origin story.

6. The character/person I would shag anytime
Lestrade. Without question.

7. The character/person I'd want to be like
Again, probably Lestrade. He is the most human of the bunch aside from John, and I like Lestrade's brand of prickliness better.

8. The character/person I'd slap
The entire Sherlock clan and John, for all that bullshit surrounding Eurus.

9. A pairing that I love
John/Sherlock, but that's the case for every incarnation of this story from ACD on.

10. A pairing that I dislike
Man, I am not into the Sherlock/Mycroft incest stuff. Nor do I much care for Sherlock/Moriarty, although Moriarty himself is a fantastic character.
