FIREFLY

My favourite character: This is difficult because I love practically all the characters on this show, from the main crew to the secondary characters to even the villains and bad guys. It's hard to pick one specific favorite because I love them all for different reasons.

My least favourite character: Ranse Burgess. He's the only bad guy I don't like, actually.

Most attractive character: Inara Serra. ♥

Funniest character: Wash. :)

A character I would kill off/remove: NO ONE. THEY ARE ALL AMAZING 'KAY.

A character I would bring back: Wash and Book.

5 ships I like: Mal/Inara, Kaylee/Inara, Kaylee/Simon, Simon/River, Zoe/Wash

A random thought: Mal wearing a floral bonnet and a flower crown in the episode is the best thing ever, right after him being naked in the desert of course. I also want Inara's entire wardrobe, kthx.

An unpopular opinion: As much as I loved the series and I think it was canceled far too soon, I think it's perfect the way it is. It was unfair how it was treated, but it became a cult success because of that and we also got a feature movie out from it as well, and endless comics to continue the story. Sure, we can rant and rave about wanting another season to voice our hatred towards FOX and whatnot. But realistically speaking, I don't think I would want another season now simply because the limited episodes we got were perfect enough that anything else just wouldn't live up to that expectation. Does that make sense?

Although alternatively, if they were to greenlight another film I wouldn't object to that, simply because the filmverse is a little bit separate from the showverse.

My canon OTP: Zoe/Wash ♥ ♥ ♥

Non-canon OTP: Inara/Kayee

Most badass character: Zoe, River, Mal, Jayne. I mean honestly, all the characters had their share of badass moments, from the series and in the film.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Jayne/Kaylee, Jayne/Inara, I think Jayne/anyone-that-isn't-Vera honestly. Also Mal/River, because I see their relationship as mostly platonic.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Thankfully, because of the limited episodes there wasn't much to screw up. Between the series and the movie, I think that we should have gotten more information and more things dealing with Sheppard Book. Also with Inara, there should have been more going on with her and her secret and her relationship with Mal and the rest of the crew. But these aren't things that the characters got screwed over on, just things that weren't properly expanded and explored further.

Favourite friendship: Inara and Kaylee. ♥ Their friendship was the cutest thing.

Favourite thing about the canon universe: It's a space western. Cowboy Robin Hood's living on a spaceship, and everyone is speaking both English and Chinese. Like, how is that not awesome? Also, I love the created family unit. It's something found in all of Whedon creations, of these characters being so different yet coming together to create a family with each other and they are so perfect. It's my favorite thing of having all these characters living on that ship and calling each other a family.

RUPERT GILES (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER)

How I feel about this character: ♥ ♥ ♥

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't think I have an opinion that is considered unpopular for him specifically?

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wished we could have gotten more of the background antics and just more scenes in general with Giles and Ethan Rayne. I'm still sad that we never got that Ripper spin-off.

My het ship: Giles/Jenny Calender

My fem/slash ship: I don't have one, tbh.

My OTP: Giles/Jenny

My OT3: Idk

My non-romantic OTP: Giles/Buffy

My anti-ship: Giles/Spike

A headcanon fact: Initially, Giles couldn't fathom the notion of having children, fearing they would suffer the same fate he did, seeing that he comes from a family who have been joining the Watcher's Council for generations. From his rebellious stages to when he finally succumbed to his own fate there, his opinion on the subject remained the same. What Giles didn't count on was meeting his Slayer, Buffy Summers, and how much he longed for a daughter himself. Sure, she was quite a handful and didn't listen to him and made comments and references that he didn't always understand, and he felt frustrated with her at times, but he found himself to have grown an affection for the girl. He was her Watcher and he wasn't meant to become this attached to her, especially with his initial fear, but alas, he did. He was supposed to maintain a professional relationship with her as he was trained, but Giles wanted nothing more than to become the father figure in her life, to teach her, to prepare her for the hardships in life, but also protect her from them at the same time. This is why he was fired from being her Watcher in the third season. Watchers are meant to care for their charges, surely, but his fatherly love for her was so intense that they believed he would become a liability to the Council's "cause" of training a Slayer. It was, in that moment, that Giles decided that he hated everything the Council stood for, what they made him do which placed Buffy in danger, and made a promise to himself that no matter what happens, he would always be there to protect and guide Buffy, no matter what the cost.

(Sorry, I just have a lot of Buffy/Giles feels!)

A scene/moment that sums up this character: Going along with that, the moment in "Helpless" when Giles openly defies the Watcher's Council and actively intervenes with Buffy's test. He had lost Buffy's trust in that episode, and you can tell how horrible he felt because of it, and he much he realized that he cared about her well-being and hated lying to her, and how much he didn't care about losing his job just as long as Buffy was alright. Another moment in "Innocence" when Giles tells Buffy that he isn't disappointed in her for what happened with Angel (now Angelus), and that she will always have his support and respect. These two moments are, in my opinion, what sums up his character quite well.

An idea I have for the character that I haven't written: I like the notion of Giles always just head-butting with the Council on many things, but keeping his tongue because he knew of the repercussions, and he was trying to atone for his rebellious actions during his youth and not disgracing his family. I also like the idea that he was always meant to challenge the Council, and by doing so he managed to create his own family for himself with Buffy and the Scoobies. :)
