Number 03 with: Lisa Simpson!

How I feel about this character: I love Lisa so, so much in older seasons; I loved her storylines, and how much Lisa wanted to fit in and make friends reminded me of my younger self. She has always been relatable, and still, while I have some complaints about newer seasons, sometimes I have seen good storylines for her, and she’s my favorite to write about when I write fics. It’s fun to play around with what-ifs with her character that are fun to explore for me.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Okay, here it goes: Jessica Lovejoy, Allison Taylor, Francine Rhenquist, Sherri and Terri Mackleberry, Nelson Muntz, Hubert Wong, the three bullies: Jimbo Jones, Dolph Starbeam, and Kearney Zzyzwicz ( I only ship them with Lisa when she is an adult or an AU I came up with where she’s Bart’s older sister who is the same age as the bullies), Shauna Chalmers (same answer as the bullies), and many more, and that’s off the top of my head lol. What can I say? I’m a multi-shipper. 😂

My non-romantic OTP for this character: This is for obvious reasons, not romantic, lol (no incest here). Lisa and Bart. I always loved seeing the episodes where Bart and Lisa actually have a nice sibling bond, aren’t at each other’s throats, and can get along longer than five minutes. 😂 Especially in the episodes where it shows they have a stronger bond as adults than when they were children, it’s sweet in a way that they mellow out in later years and become each other’s confidantes. And even if they’re fighting, they have always had each other’s backs, and I always think they will. And I just like writing them as a stupid brother-sister duo who go to each other about their gay crushes (Lisa and Bart are both bisexual in my headcanon 😆).

My unpopular opinion about this character: Give me back old Lisa’s characteristics! Please stop making her an overly opinionated butthole who thinks she is smarter than everyone and nitpicky about stuff. She literally had a problem with her parents in an episode because she felt like they weren’t showing they loved each other like how she wanted them to! Like seriously? 😒 Lisa would have never done that in older episodes; she was genuine and kind, and I want that back in her character! 😭 It’s sadly why a lot of people don’t like her in the fandom (I still love her very much; I can be critical of her character at times, though) because everyone thinks she’s a nag, which the writers have turned her into at this point.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: She never married Millhouse and instead married Jessica Lovejoy, and they were happily married. 😁

My OT3: Lisa Simpson Jessica Lovejoy and Francine Rhenquist. I have sooo many WIPs with fics exploring their dynamic as a polycule. 🥰😍

Thanks so much for the ask, Dawn! Once again, I love getting to gush about my Simpsons brainrot. 😂💕💕💕
