Character Meme

[itsnotmymind]

Taken from kikimay. I think I've done one before, or something like it, but a very long time ago. Anyway, I currently crave low-key fannish interaction, so:

Name a character in any of my fandoms, and I'll answer these questions:
1. Do you love/hate/don’t feel strongly about this character?
2. What’s your favorite trait of this character?
3. What’s your favorite moment/event involving this character?
4. If you could have one power/attribute/etc. of this character, what would it be?
5. Have you ever pictured this character naked?
6. When did you fall in love/hate with this character? I you don’t have any strong feelings toward them, why not?
7. Who’s your OTP for this character?

Dean Winchester?

1. I love Dean. I do! Just because there have been times when I wanted to poke his eye out with a needle doesn't mean I don't love you. I think that characters who are the most challenging to like can be the most lovable.

2. Sometimes I think my favorite trait of Dean is also my least favorite. His ability to perfectly articulate the ways in which other people are being assholes, even when he is more than capable of being an asshole in the same way. Sometimes it's hypocrisy, and sometimes it's just on point.

3. I am unhappy with the extent to which much of fandom overlooks and romanticizes the dark side of his devotion to Sam, and takes Dean's interpretations of his own actions at face value, but still: Dean's devotion to Sam, with all its complications.

4. Dean's really brave. I mean, Sam, too. But still. I would like t be that brave.

5. Not something I usually do.

6. I don't remember not loving Dean. He actually surprised me a bit. I thought from the glances I'd gotten of SPN fandom that he would be all hard and macho. Instead he was an obedient son and a caring older brother. So I liked that.

7. Platonically, always Dean and Sam. Romantically...no one, really. I was intrigued by the idea of Dean/Lisa, but found the execution consistently terrible. Same with Dean/Cassie, actually. Castiel and Benny never did anything for me. I could never really picture Dean/Jo. And I hate Crowley.
