Fandom: Political Animals
1. The first character I first fell in love with
well, tj, since it was sebstan playing a charming and tragic queer character that drew me into the show. he's still definitely one of my favorite characters on the show and i LOVE how they're writing him. well, i love how they're writing all the characters. like, no one is a pinnacle of perfection. they're all terrible and wonderful and flawed and perfect and it's just so awesome.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
BUD. and yeah he's an arrogant shitthead, but he's also damn charming and you can totally see why elaine stayed with him for as long as she did. again, i love how they're showing the wonderful side of bud while not glossing over the fact that he's still a horrible person.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
um? there aren't really characters i don't like? though every time the vice president shows up i have the urge to throw things at the tv and scream FUCKING WILLIAM, but that's much more the result of a kings hangover than anything.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
IS THERE A CHARACTER THAT ANYONE HATES? i seriously don't think i've seen any character hate in this fandom. THEY'RE ALL SO GREAT.
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
again, they're all pretty great, but who knows what will happen before the end.
6. The character I would totally smooch
susaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn
7. The character I’d want to be like
elaine. goddamn, do i ever wish i had the courage to just tell people exactly what i think of them and what i want from them and just get it.
8. The character I’d slap
susan's dickface boss/ex-boyfriend whose name i don't even care to remember.
SUSAN/ELAINE. please, fandom, WHERE IS THE FIC FOR THIS? if the show doesn't end with them riding happily off into the sunset together, then what was the point? (kidding. there totally is a point to all of this and it's that men need to move the fuck over and let women have the reigns for awhile, BUT SUSAN/ELAINE OKAY.)
10. A pairing that I despise
susan/dickface and elaine/bud. just pleeeeeeeeeease don't let the show end with either of those happening again.
