Past Tense
I found some old character/pairing lists on my long-defunct journal and they amused me so I am reposting them here.
Main thoughts: I have no idea why I thought I was most like Vicky, I like June a lot now, and 2024 me really wishes that there was way more Jim/Anyone than there is.
2011 Fandom Survey
Favourite male: Rod Skase. Always. He had so much innate ability, but he always cocked things up because he was too busy trying to look good. Favourite female: Viv Martella. She was such a brilliant character. She was in the show back when female officers were still a rarity and she dealt with the male characters' doubt in her abilities by showing, time and time again, that she could cope with anything the job threw at her while retaining her sense of humour and ability to care. Least favourite: Ugh, so many of the post-shark-jumping characters and the awful changes made to formerly-good characters. I'm going to run with the changed version of John Boulton, though, because the proper John Boulton was one of my absolute favourites and they absolutely ruined his character by making him into something else entirely. In a way, it was good that they killed him off (although HOW they killed him off was also ridiculous), because it hurt to watch such a fantastic character being so utterly ruined. Thank goodness Rod went out in a way that was perfect for who he was, staying in character from beginning to end. Who resembles me: Vicky Hagen. Three more characters that I like: Frank Burnside, Cass Rickman, Roy Galloway. SO MANY MORE. Favourite ship: Skase/Boulton. Pre-ruining of Boulton, thankyouverymuch.
2009 Favourite Characters List
CID * Rod Skase (duh) * John Boulton * Roy Galloway * Tom Proctor * Frank Burnside * Jack Meadows * Ted Roach * Alan Woods * Liz Rawton * Viv Martella * Alistair Grieg Uniform * Taffy Edwards * Matt Boyden * Steve Loxton * Reg Hollis * Yorkie Smith * Cass Rickman * Vicky Hagen * Nick Klein * Dale Smith (as he was the first time around) * Andrew Monroe * Gina Gold * Sam Harker * Bob Cryer * Derek Conway * Gary Best * Jim Carver (as in old-time Jim, not drunk!Jim)
2006 Fandom Survey
Favorite "Characters": Rod Skase, John Boulton, Tom Proctor, Gary Best, Frank Burnside, Mike Dashwood, Reg Hollis Least Favorite "Characters": June Ackland, Debbie McAllister, a large proportion of the cast that came in the couple of years following the Great Sun Hill Barbeque Favorite Ships: Rod/John, Rod/Tom, Des/Reg, Nick/Smiffy, Cass/Vicky Ships that make me nauseous: Oh God, the Dave/Jenny/George rubbish. Also anything that paired together people who had worked together for years without showing any interest in each other. Names commonly involved with this? Jim, June, Tony & Polly.
2002 Fandom Survey
Favorite Pairings: Skase/Boulton Skase/Proctor Boulton/Proctor Meadows/Monroe Stamp/Ashton Klein/Smith Hagan/Boyden Pairings I’m dying to write: Klein/Smith Pairings I’m not keen on reading: Jim/Anyone

actually I will say something about this:
setting up a romance line but waiting until one of the actors is a freshly legal adult before executing it is creepy, actually, especially when the co-star is 15 years older

Being on the nostalgia train this week really helped stretching my artistic legs again. So here, have some old things and some new! For now I'm done with this.

if you’re young and transmasc and the people in your life haven’t been great about the whole thing and you’re starting to feel like it might be easier to just give up and pretend to be the person they want you to be, i need you to hold on. because the thing is, one second you’re 16 and a future where you get to make decisions about your own body and life feels so impossibly far away and you can’t imagine living like this for that long, but then you blink and it’s been six years and you’re in your car with the music blasting and your voice is lower than the guy in the song’s and your hair is long for the first time in a decade because you’re finally confident enough to grow it out again on your own terms and your chest hasn’t been weighed down in months and it’s the freest you’ve ever felt in your life and i promise it will be worth the wait. don’t give up on yourself.

figure skating set right now please. thanks
#project sekai#pjsk#prsk#emu otori#proseka#tsukasa tenma#nene kusanagi#rui kamishiro#wxs#wonderlands x showtime#GUYS I AM PUTTING OFF WORKING ON MY COSPLAY SOMETHING STUPID. im tireddddd i like sleeepingggff i want to play and drawwwww#after work ​I literally ate a giant bowl of mac n cheese and climbed into bed. lifestyle choices of a 9 year old#anyways i want figure skaitng set. bad. PJSK HAS A WEIRDLY LOW NUMBER OF ACTUALLY WINTERY SETS... like 3. kind of.#i have some thumbnail sketches but im kind of stumped on composition for them. my idea was a nene focus set#(IF HER NEXT FOCUS ISNT PHANTOM OF THE OPERA THEMED INWILL DIE. BADLY. THEYRE GOING TO AN OPER AHOUSE. PLEADBR)#originally my idea was for nene to be biting a medal i was very sold on it bc i love nenes competitive side#however her outfit is so nice i want it to also be part of the art .. its heavily inspired by that one iconic eunsoo lim dress#from her somewhere in time program iirc. im really undatisfied with emus dress tbh my origimal idea was to give it a phoenix look#but a lot of the firebird/phoenix skating programs have very sleek dresses and i want emus to be fluffy. the balance is hard ..#and since i want her program song to be once upon a dream from sleeping beauty i swerved to make it look a bit like auroras ? but again#it definitely feels like the weakest of everybodys ... maybe i just love her too much and want her to look the best. sorry wxs.#tsukasas outfit is supposed to look like a shooting star. easy. program music moonlight sonata 3rd movement like from dazzling light. easy.#actually i like takahashi daisukes moonlight sonata program its a medley of the 1st and 3rd movement.. i think the calm at the beginning#is best. maybe smth like that.. for his card inhad him doing a haircutter spin but again. the outfits good i want the outfit visible. damn.#ruis the one im very set on even now. girl why are you so phantom of the opera.#it has a lot of beautiful programs to reference but the outfit i didnt really have any solid reference i kind of just balled#my main idea was to make it look a bit like both christine and the phantom.... gender Fluid.#my yapfest... i should be SEWING!!!!!!!!#despite my yapping im not that well versed in figure skating i cant really distinguish jumps i just like it . and medalist#i only do normal skating. bc i played hockey for like 7 years LOLLLL inlove skating though Heart.
