Date: 2013-09-25 06:46 am (UTC)How I feel about this character: LOVE HER. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HER, ALL INCARNATIONS OF HER. Whether it's Caprica Six, Head!Six, Natalie, Gina Inviere, Shelley Godfrey, etc, I LOVE THEM ALL! ♥ ♥ ♥
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't think I have one?
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish we could have seen more of how Caprica Six and Boomer started their intervention with the rest of the Cylons about making a truce with humanity. I wished Natalie could have known who the Final Five were. I wished we saw a little bit of Gina when she first was assigned to the Pegasus, and how her relationship with Cain blossomed. It was casually mentioned in Razor, but it probably would have been interesting to see more of how it developed leading into the betrayal later on. I also wished we could have seen more of Caprica Six interacting with head!Gaius. There's a lot of things I wished we could have seen more of in canon with the Sixes, actually, like with all copies of them. Even the ones that we didn't even meet I wanted to know more about.
My het ship: Six/Gaius
My fem/slash ship: Six/D'Anna
My OTP: Six/Gaius
My OT3: Six/Gaius/D'Anna. Also, can Six/Gaius/head!Six/head!Gaius also count even though it's an OT4?
My non-romantic OTP: Caprica Six and Boomer, at least during the time of their friendship. I really liked how they bonded about their mutual love of humanity, and I feel like the moment when Boomer announced her no longer caring about that is when Caprica's heart broke. It's sad that they never got a chance to reconcile at the end. :(
My anti-ship: Caprica Six/Saul Tigh, and also hardcore!Six/Cavil from The Plan.
Cont'd.
Date: 2013-09-25 06:48 am (UTC)A headcanon fact: When assigned a particular mission, just like the rest of the Cylon models, the Sixes were given human names, complete with detailed background and histories and documents to perfectly blend in with humanity. Normally, when a Cylon had completed a task they were to resume using their regular model number, however the Sixes found themselves growing attached to their human names and decided to keep them. Even Sixes who weren't given missions wanted their own names as well, to be given their own freedom of expressing individuality. There were those who opposed the idea of such a human thing (i.e. the Cavils in particular), but because the Six models were so strongly determined over something they got passionate about and wouldn't go down without a fight, that it wasn't argued against.
Interestingly enough, Caprica Six didn't want to keep her human name, fearing that it would be seen as holding onto something of the past and her relationship with Gaius Baltar, and it hurt too much just thinking about it. She accepted the new given title by her fellow Cylons because it was considered a high praise of her people. Once realizing that Gaius was still alive and her feelings returned full-force, she thought about returning to the name she had used, but resisted, knowing that it would hurt the cause she was trying to accomplished with Boomer. By the time they had arrived on the planet Earth, hand-in-hand with Gaius Baltar, she decided there was no need to hold onto that past. She then created herself a new human name, something that she and Gaius could both accept and move onto their new life together.
A scene/moment that sums up this character: Although each Six is different, all with great scenes that sums up their individual character arc, they all share similar traits that sums up every single one of them. I'm reminded of one particular scene in the first season when a Six is walking with a Doral along the streets of Caprica looking for Sharon and Helo, and they're having this conversation: Throughout this scene, her expression betrays her words because you can clearly see her at the very end of it where she is getting slightly emotional, but holds it together. We don't know who this Six was, but it's pretty clear that she does want to know what love is like. To feel that intensely about another. The Sixes were considered catalysts to understanding the humanity within the Cylons themselves, and this is a perfect example of that.
An idea I have for the character that I haven't written: For some reason, I've always imagined whenever head!Six and head!Gaius aren't around, they are off somewhere drinking some fancy drinks talking about how their end is going, complete with sassy snarking and comparing notes.

Date: 2013-09-25 10:40 am (UTC)How I feel about this character: Oh, my khaleesi. I completely and utterly love Dany, and I am totally rooting for her to succeed and to rise to the top in the end.
My unpopular opinion about this character: While I love Dany with all my heart, I acknowledge that she isn't perfect. She has made decisions that in hindsight weren't for the best and she has fucked up and made plenty of mistakes along the way, the major one being her entire storyline in Meereen. But it's because of her faults and being flawed that makes me love her as much as I do, and it makes me root for her even harder. She has, like all characters in this series, taken missteps and has fallen down a bit from her path. My only wish for Dany is that she doesn't discard these mistakes because of her fears ("if I look back I am lost"), and instead learns and grows from them so she can rise back up, prioritize and get back to her original main objective of heading to Westeros.
The reason I feel like this is unpopular is because, through much observation, I feel like many seem to oversimplify her character a lot, either underestimating or overestimating her capabilities, without really truly understanding the nature of her arc. People either place her on a pedestal (mostly because of her dragons) or they demonize her and her decisions, and I think it's rather unfair and it misses the point of what her character is going through at points in the story.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: In book canon, I want her to get to Westeros, or at least at the Wall so she can see what is happening in regards to the Others and the danger that is escalating for everyone and how she can help. I also want to see her meeting Jon because I truly believe they are connected, in more ways than one. In show canon, I wished that the House of the Undying was done properly, all the creepy visions and prophecies and all.
My het ship: Dany/Drogo, Dany/Jorah, Dany/Jon Snow
My fem/slash ship: Dany/Margaery, Dany/Irri, Dany/Doreah
My OTP: Dany/Drogo, and future Dany/Jon Snow
My OT3: Dany/Irri/Doreah
My non-romantic OTP: Dany/Grey Worm
My anti-ship: Dany/Daario. Ugh. -_-
A headcanon fact: Dany dreams of Drogo a lot. Sometimes she can't tell whether these are prophetic or normal dreams, but in them she is happy, and at peace. Sometimes they are surrounded by her dragons either amongst his khalasar or around the Iron Throne, other times they are with their unborn son and at the house with the red door. Other times she dreams of her family, the family she'd never known; a mother and a father, a brother who wasn't abusive and horrible to her. It is these dreams that she clings and falls into when she cannot deal with the tragedies and hardships that await her in reality, or the nightmarish dreams of prophecies yet to reveal themselves.
A scene/moment that sums up this character: I mean, obviously (http://youtu.be/afzEd-fCWq0). ;)
An idea I have for the character that I haven't written: I can just imagine Dany meeting Sansa and, at first being hesitant of her, her mothering nature will overcome her senses and want to take Sansa under her wing and protect her. I don't know why, but the very idea of them interacting and not being opposed to each other is everything I want.

Date: 2013-09-25 08:35 pm (UTC)How I feel about this character: She is my favorite. I love all the girls for different reasons, but Spencer quickly became my favorite character of the entire series.
My unpopular opinion about this character: I...don't think I have an unpopular opinion? I'm not sure what's unpopular regarding her character from this fandom.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wished her arc of being recruited into the "A" Team lasted a bit longer. I wanted to see how she dealt with what was being asked of her and how much of the lying she could handle to her friends. I also wanted more conversation between her and Toby about the events leading up to that. I'm pretty sure they did talk further, but I guess I wanted to see an actual discussion about how it affected her, since she went through hell last season with her mental break and that's not something you can just sweep under the rug and forget about, you know?
My het ship: Spencer/Toby
My fem/slash ship: Spencer/Emily, Spencer/Aria
My OTP: Spencer/Toby ♥
My OT3: Spencer/Emily/Aria/Hanna (OT4evah tbh)
My non-romantic OTP: Spencer/Jason
My anti-ship: Spencer/Wren. He is such a creeper, and I'm glad the show has finally acknowledged his shadiness.
A headcanon fact: Spencer often thought about running away, even before the "A" stuff started happening. The pressures and high expectations of her achievements nearly became too much for her to handle at times. It was true that she was highly competitive and loved a good challenge and valued her intelligence and her ability to spew out knowledge left and right, that was part of who she was and she loved it, but with her family constantly pushing her and having to live up to the pedestal of her sister it all became too stressful to keep up that she would often dreamed about just disappearing, of changing her name, of leaving Rosewood for good and never looking back. Of course, she never did, not because she didn't want to, but because she loved her friends and couldn't leave them behind. And interestingly enough, she took out her inner frustrations of these feelings by clashing with Alison, which was a common occurrence with them when her friend was still around; which she now she has focused that energy by cracking down "A".
With everything that has happened in her life, Spencer made a promise to herself. That once stopping "A" for good and uncovering the truth about Alison, she would do something for herself. Something selfish, something plain and stupid and normal and ridiculous/fun, something that wasn't up to anyone's ideals or expectations but her own. And fuck anyone who would tell her differently. She deserves at least that much.
A scene/moment that sums up this character: When Spencer outsmarted Mona/"A", I thought that was not only clever but something that Spencer would do when given the opportunity. Also, any moment when she defends and is fiercely protective of her friends (that goes for all the girls really, their friendship is that strong) and those she cares about (Toby, Jason, etc.)
An idea I have for the character that I haven't written: This is more of an AU idea, but I always wanted there to be an alternative take of her being with "A" Team where she'd been involved for much, much longer. That she and Toby connected because of having been involved in the same thing, or that Spencer had been recruited first and found herself falling for Toby through particular assignments targeted towards him, which led to a forbidden kind of romance. Idk, I just like the thought of them both having a darker side and motives for joining, yet still finding love with each other.
