1. The first character I first fell in love with

Oh dear. This is going so far back I have no idea. I don't even remember what I read first. Uh. Arthur? Igraine? Galahad? Gawain? Ummmmmm I have no idea.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Griflet. Why, brain, why?

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t

Oh, God, Tristan, stop getting entitlement all over the place.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

Hey, Galahad, you adorable creepy little suicidal freak, c'mere. Time for HUGS. (I am aware that not everyone hates him, but it can get to start seeming that way. Argh!)

5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer

Um. I cannot think of anybody.

6. The character I would totally smooch (or possibly just snuggle)

Hi, Igraine, do you need a sweet natured sapphic handmaid?

7. The character I’d want to be like

Dibs on being Ganieda!

8. The character I’d slap take by the shoulders and shake

Merlin really needs to learn the meaning of “not funny once”. Uther needs to learn what consent means ohgodsogross.

9. A pairing that I love

I kind of love Morgause/Lot, for all that's basically rivalry and fighting and burn the world down together if we don't kill each other first nonsense. And I'm a sucker for Galahad/Heliabel and Galahad/Percival in all the weird, chaste permutations they can come up with for that. And Gawain/Ragnelle is the otp. And Gawain/The Green Knight/The Lady is so hot I cannot even. And – yeah, there's lots of good stuff there.

10. A pairing that I despise

No one has ever made me like Uther/Igraine. It's not so much that I despise it as that it tends to make me feel like crying. Igraine, I'm sorry! I'm sorry all your possible choices suck!

*snicker* Best phrasing ever for my reaction to Tristan.

Hey, Galahad, you adorable creepy little suicidal freak, c'mere.
I think you made me like Galahad, actually, though I don't know if I ever actually commented on those stories. He comes at the end of such a long line of condemning other heroes for being human beings (Gawain's too worldly, Lancelot's too in love with Guinevere, etc) that it's easy to blame him, but he really is a sweetheart taken on his own terms. A messed up sweetheart.

Merlin really needs to learn the meaning of “not funny once”.
*radiates inquiring curiosity*

Uther needs to learn what consent means ohgodsogross.
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, yes.

And I'm a sucker for Galahad/Heliabel and Galahad/Percival in all the weird, chaste permutations they can come up with for that.
Hmm. Don't know Heliabel. Must go look up now. Delighted agreement with the rest of your 'ships, though.

No one has ever made me like Uther/Igraine.
Um, yes. The basic outline is so exceedingly awful that I tend to read even the ones that try as either tragic or Stockholm-like.
