On the fandom/series ask TIU style!
I was tagged by @madsdefencesquad and I can’t thank her enough <3
1. The first character I first fell in love with
Rebecca. There’s something very special about a female character who we first know in a vulnerable moment like a delivery, ends up losing one of her children and whose pain is shown hand-by-hand with the hope that she’ll too, eventually, make a good lemonade out of that sour lemon. The twist made me fall in love with the show, and she was the first I knew I’d care for through the run. *-*
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Kevin. Jesus, did I despise him back on S1, couldn’t believe Jack and Rebecca had made and raised such an annoying human being... :x But S2 did a good job with him and put him back on the right tracks. He still falters sometimes, but seems more open to admit his mistakes and try better next time. Kevin underwent a lot of growth through S3-4 and I really hope it will eventually take him wherever he deserves to be.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
Toby...? Not really sure if everyone loves him ( digging a bit deeper within the fandom made me realize I’m not alone in feeling like this ), but after four years in the making, he still hasn’t convinced me. Wish I knew why...
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
Madison...? Again, I’m not sure people hate her ( although, obviously, when you’re a female character getting in the way of a popular ship, you’re deemed to get hated on, even if only by wishing your death right when you’re about to finally have something good in your life :p ), but she has been terribly underrated for the past four years and I always felt terrible about it. Madison has been a small but constant presence in Kate’s life when she most needed a friend and, despite her quirky ways, she always tries to lighten up the mood, even when she knows she’s not being taken seriously or even welcomed. I’ve been thristy for some backstory since that S2 episode and you bet I have my fingers crossed for more love - from both the show and the fandom - through S5-6, my girl deserves it. *-*
Something similar can also be said about Miguel: he’ll never be Jack, he knows it; now, stop hating on the dude and focus instead on how happy he made Rebecca right when she probably believed she’d never be happy again.
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
None, actually. I think the show is doing a great job with the characters so far; even those who seemed next to perfect at the beginning ( Randall and Jack are the best examples ) are starting to come around with their flaws, which ends up being a complement to their arcs instead of a disserve. It leaves me with a feeling that TIU is aware of the perfect timing to drop the pieces of the puzzle that will lead us to the bigger picture - and it’s going to feel good to revisit the episodes since the Pilot once we get to the end of the road. At least that’s what I’m hoping for...
6. The character I would totally smooch
I didn’t want to be this person, but ever since I started enjoying Kevin, I’ve been having a hard time downplaying how attractive I find him to be. :p
7. The character I’d want to be like
Beth. She knows what she wants and she fights for it, even if I’ve complained before that she should stand up for herself more, especially when confronted with Randall. Beth has been shown to be wonderful in every front, as a partner, a mother and a friend, who’s so loved and respected by everyone because she always loves and respects back, and that’s something that I really crave for myself. *-*
8. The character I’d slap
I was going to say “ none “ again, but then the girls reminded me of Marc. The way he took advantage of Kate when she was emotionally fragile only to traumatize her even more ( and I’m thinking their story isn’t yet finished... ) is inexcusable.
9. A pairing that I love
Jack x Rebecca. Despite being told through flashbacks and ending up tragically cut short, their story truly felt “ one for the ages “. <333 I’m now eager to witness the same for Kevin x Madison in real time, because, c’mon, you know they do have the potential to be it.
10. A pairing that I despise
Kevin x Sophie. I didn’t want to be this person again, but I think it’s fair to assume that both characters have hurt each other too much and eventually grown into different paths. It’s only healthy to allow them to break free and move on to bigger and better things, since they’ve yet to convince me that it’s possible for these two to ever be happy together.

I’m not tagging anyone because I feel like everyone who’d be interested already did it. But if you want it, be my guest... ^-^
Have a nice weekend <3 STAY HOME AND SAFE !!!
