Rules: Answer the questions - not restricted to one fandom. Tag as many people as you’d like afterward.

I was tagged by @detectivedimple - Thank you! :) (I’m sorry this is so long and that I cheated a little and went over the category limit a few times. My indecisiveness knows no bounds. Gah).

First ever fandom ————–Officially/on Tumblr? Castle. But if you want to go way back, it would probably be Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I mean, I did spend many many recesses in second grade geeking out over all things Sabrina with my teacher lol. And then ALSO technically I sort of just watched from afar in a couple of fandoms surrounding lesbian couples from age 16 through 18…stayed up late reading a lot of fic senior year of HS lol. But OFFICIALLY and certainly here on Tumblr my first fandom was Castle. :)

First ever ship————-Um…probably Cory and Topanga from Boy Meets World? I know I shipped Sabrina and Harvey from Sabrina the Teenage Witch during certain periods of time, and I remember having strong shippery feelings about the series finale above all. But I don’t think I TRULY started shipping fictional characters until after I had figured out my sexuality. Before that I think it was hard for me to connect to the concept of actively shipping characters for a number of reasons. After that it was like��� Ka-pow. Both LGBTQ and cishet couple shipping where it hadn’t or had barely existed before.

First death that made you cry/upset? ———– Um. Tbh I’m not really sure. Possibly Tara Maclay, BtVS. I started watched BtVS a good while after it had ended, and I knew going into it that Tara dies at some point and it’s a big deal and the worst, but somehow I missed ever reading exactly WHEN or HOW she died… So when I watched “Seeing Red” for the first time, many years later, I was still taken totally by surprise by Tara’s death. And I just remember thinking “WTF WTF WTF… THAT’S how it happened? That’s WHEN it happened? WTF?!?!” …and just in general her fate/the repeating of the event on “previously on” was upsetting after that.

Although also potentially - Adam Torres, Degrassi. That character death was unexpected and completely unnecessary, and they did that to their first and only (and young) trans character, and I was pissed about it. Forever am tbh.

OTP? ————————- Sanvers (SUPERGIRL), Caskett (Castle), Wayhaught (Wynonna Earp), Wyndolls (Wynonna Earp), Swan Queen (OUAT), Stef x Lena (The Fosters), Cophine (Orphan Black), Clois!!! (Smallville), Ben x Leslie (Parks and Recreation), Luke x Lorelai (Gilmore Girls), Paris x Rory (Gilmore Girls), Rizzles (Rizzoli & Isles), Doccubus (Lost Girl), Valkubus (Lost Girl), Bo/Lauren/Tamsin (Lost Girl), Even more SUPERGIRL ships (Supercat, Karolsen, Supercorp), Skimmons/also known as BioQuake (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Cartinelli (Agent Carter), Bering and Wells (Warehouse 13), Tara x Willow (BtVS), Buffy x Faith (BtVS), Bechloe (Pitch Perfect), Brittana (Glee), Faberry (Glee)… and the list goes on lol NOTP? ———————– K*ramel, C$, 0Q, Skyew*rd

5 Favorite female characters (THIS IS SO HARD/I had to cheat a little and do multiple for SUPERGIRL…and more)——————————- 1. Kara Danvers, Alex Danvers, Maggie Sawyer - SUPERGIRL 2. Sarah Manning, Orphan Black (but also ALL the female clones OB. Orphan Black is so good, okay?) 3. Kate Beckett, Castle 4. Bill Potts, Doctor Who (I love her SO much already, and I can already tell that she’s probably going to become my most favorite DW Companion) 5. Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation 6. This is cheating, but I feel like I can’t leave out the iconic Buffy Summers, BtVS 7. This is cheating even more, but I really can’t leave out Wynonna Earp of the show of the same name

5 Favorite male characters (I cheated a little and doubled up some because I’m ridiculously indecisive/admittedly I haven’t spent as much time thinking about male characters in comparison to female characters)—————- 1. J'onn J'onzz and James Olsen, SUPERGIRL 2. Alec Hardison and Eliot Spencer, Leverage 3. J.J. DiMeo, Speechless (ABC) 4. Luke Danes, Gilmore Girls 5. Aaron Baker, The Fosters (three dimensional trans characters played by trans actors who also get to be romantic interests to main characters on the show FTW!) 6. I have to cheat a little and continue this list because Tony Sawicki, Orphan Black! I love him. I miss him. I hope he comes back in season 5. He’s one badass, confident, complex, chill character and trans guy. 7. I’m officially cheating so much with this list, but I have to give a shoutout to Adam Torres of Degrassi, just because feels. I love that kid. (Again, trans character rep but NOTE: played by a cis girl and was eventually killed off the show. GRRRR)

5 Favorite actors/actresses——— 1. Chyler Leigh 2. Tatiana Maslany 3. Stana Katic 4. Lana Parrilla 5. Hayley Atwell

6 Favorite characters who died/left the show————————– 1. Adam Torres (Forever pissed about it) 2. Tess Mercer, Smallville (I know it was at the very end, but I’m still emotional about it, okay? WHY) 3. Tara Maclay, BtVS (UGHHHH) 4. Cat Grant, SUPERGIRL (I know she’s - spoiler alert - coming back for the season finale and might pop back in on the rare occasion after that, but she has essentially left the show and I miss her!!!). 5. Tamsin, Lost Girl (TAMSIN DESERVED BETTER. And while we’re at it - HALE DESERVED BETTER) 6. Cordelia Chase and Fred Burkle, Buffyverse/Angel the Series (CORDELIA AND FRED DESERVED BETTER)
