ahhhh ily thank you! :) ♥
1. The first character I fell in love with:
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
David Hodges, that adorable irritating little bastard. :’)
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
I basically like most everyone so
4. The character I love that everyone else hates:
as terrible as he is as a person, I feel strong sympathy for Paul Millander. he’s also just such an interesting character
5. The character I would shag anytime:
6. The character I’d want to be like:
Sara Sidle; trying to be more like her has actually be a conscious goal of mine throughout my recovery. She’s been a really great inspiration for me ♥
7. The character I’d slap:
In some very specific parts of very specific episodes, dear sweet Nicky Stokes just acts like a total judgemental ass, so I guess him sometimes.
8. A pairing that I love:
basically all of them, but mostly CSR {a.k.a. Cara} and GSR
9. A pairing that I despise:
basically anything that involves Ecklie because I mean wtf like he’s just a stupid idiot and I boo every time he comes on screen literally
I’d probably have to say Catherine Willows for this one too, but I really adore her, Grissom, and Sara with equally intense but different loves.
11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom.
1) it’s relatively small so I’ve actually talked to most of the tumblr-based members of it and they’ve all been super sweet :)
2) basically all of our characters are just really fucking hot, and while so many different pairings are hinted at, very few ever become and remain canon, so there are lots of options for ships and fics and such.
3) I’ve honestly learned so freaking much about criminalistics, the justice system, Las Vegas, social structures, the rough city culture I’ve never been exposed to in reality, humanity and just living a good, moral life despite personal weaknesses and emotions from watching CSI.
4) because it’s been on for so long and has been so popular, there’s a shit ton of fanfic to be found online. ;D
5) I feel like CSI tries to help prove one of the things I believe most strongly about people, which is that there is good in every human being.
12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom.
1) I personally hate that Marg left the show and haven’t watched anything that’s aired since she did simply because it was my first ever fandom and it touches me in a special way because I found it when I was in such a bleak place, so I feel like doing so would be too upsetting for me
2) the CSI and CSR tags are full of cars and that same fucking “bitch I watch CSI” poster and lots of other non-CSI-related content, which is no one’s fault but it still sucks
3) the fact that they were able to bring Sara back but not Grissom even when they were married
4) there really haven’t been as many lgbtq+ storylines as there could’ve been, particularly ones that weren’t all about the oddity of switching/blending genders or queerness
13. Who are my five favorite characters.
in no particular order because I can’t choose between my babies: Catherine Willows, Sara Sidle, Gil Grissom, Nick Stokes, Doc Robbins
14. Who are my five least favorite characters.
I only actively dislike Ecklie, Riley, and certain bad guys I guess
15. What are my five favorite pairings.
in no order again: CSR, GSR, Grillows, Wedges, Sillows… God I could really just keep going all the way to like 20 with this show
16. What are my five least favorite pairings.
the only ones I categorically disapprove of are Sara/Langston and Hodges with anyone but Wendy
17. Which character are you most like.
wow… I don’t even know. I’m maybe like a strange mixture of Grissom and Sara and Wendy…?
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret
lol well I’ve talked about it on here multiple times by now, but yeah this was my original fandom and I found it at a point in my life when I hated myself and felt desperately alone and depressed, so it’s sortof in its own category of holiness, which is why most mentions of it on my blog end with a little <3… and also why I literally just ignore canon after a certain point in the show. Like in my mind, anything after Langston leaves doesn’t exist, simply because it’s better for my sanity that way.
