10 characters, 10 fandoms

Got tagged by @bethanyactually - ten favourite characters in ten different fandoms. There has been angst and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Also a lot of suddenly-remembering-shit-at-3am, but that could be because I'm ill and have to keep getting up at 3am to throw up...

Anyway starting with a cheat:

1. Any of Charlotte Bronte's heroes - say what you like, that girl knew what she liked. I'm torn between Rochester or Robert Moore or Louis Moore. I would even take the Professor in a pinch. Send help.

2. Ivanhoe - no, not the guy in the book. I barely survived that. Specifically the guy in the early 00s TV series 'Dark Knight'. No one's ever seen it except me. It was...interesting. If I find a good vid I'll come back and add a link. But him, him I pine for.

3. Carter & O'Neill, Stargate SG1 - I refuse to separate them, the greatest comrades to friends to lovers (fight me) - what's not to love? But adding:

4. Vala Mal Doran - would I watch Claudia Black sit and read the telephone book? Yes obviously I would, but Vala in particular as a character hits just the right combo of looney / survivalist / occasional moments of heartbroken that gets to me.

5. Mulder & Scully - they're a matched pair yr'honour, it would be cruel to separate them. Must adopt together.

6. Josh Lyman - also not sure I can separate him from Donna, or from Sam for that matter, but again with the growth.

7. Illya Kuryakin - now, obviously, David McCullum, I would and will watch him over & over again. But I'm also not going to pretend I didn't love and adore Armie Hammer's interpretation. Luckily my brain is very good at the massive separation of actors vs. characters.

8. Luke Skywalker - see above. Would I take Harrison Ford over Mark Hamill? Every single time. But I would take Skywalker over Solo.

9. Just...all of them - Primeval - Connor has the best massive Nerd -> Survived a Year in a Tree Fighting Off Dinosaurs character arc, but couldn't have done it without Abby. See also Captain Guns Guns (Protect the Smol Girl), Ms. Smol Girl and Mr. Accidentally Fell in Love with a Victorian. I love the whole batty crew of them.

10. I'm taking this as a free space that can be either Lachlan French or Sir Maurice Newbury or Revelstoke Templeton-Vane or... I don't even know. I have a type.
