SHINY. (Though, does fandom really still hate River? Seriously, who doesn't love River at this point?)

ALSO, ALSO, ALSO I REWATCHED SOME DOWNTON ABBEY. And during my first watch-through, I sort of had my Mary/Matthew/Cousin Violet/Daisy blinders on.

BUT THIS TIME I TOTALLY HAD MY SYBIL BLINDERS ON. I love her and I love her and Gwen and I love her and Branson, and I really need someone to write me a perfect fic where she and Branson meet in a hospital during WWI. She is a nurse! Branson's been promoted in the field, and is now an officer! They talk about socialism on her off-nights, and then he goes back to fight! When he comes back, he's a captain! Then Sybil is all, "Parents, I would like you to meet my mysterious fiancee who I have hardly told you a thing about!" And then everyone is all, "OMG BRANSON WHAT!" Except Mary, who is sort of snootily like, "Well, aren't you scandalous." Because Mary is secretly Violet 2.0.

I'll shut up now.

There are definitely still people who dislike River. They are half the reason I avoid the comments at doctorwho. (The other half being people who hate Amy Pond!)

OMG OMG OMG this shoooow THIS SHOW I love it so much! I cannot wait for the second season.

oh god SYBIL and Gwen and Branson! I love those three's story so much, it is just this thing of beauty and joy and friendship and overcoming differences and! <333 THAT FIC SOUNDS SO PERFECT I WANT IT TOOOOOO. There is a moment in the trailer that most people think is her holding Branson's hand! PLEASE LET THAT BE SO.

*weeps* Mary I don't think I'll be able to handle how broken WWI is going to make everything.

Just butting in to say I have never understood the rabid hatred of the Pond ladies. Like, are they watching the same show as me?

I'm gonna go with no, because otherwise I'm just as baffled as you.

I am so okay with it being all of them! :DDD But yeah, I only came into BSG after the fact and I didn't check out the fandom almost at all because the hate I ran into for the ladies was. Wow. Ew. And Tory did seem to get quite a lot of it.

I was thinking about Ruby or Lisa from Supernatural, but both were already taken.

So I am still thinking...

Ah, I am dumb. I FORGOT ABOUT AVA. Totally claimed her. :)

I have tried to claim Amy Pond, but I couldn't tell if she'd maxed out already. :-/

Other than her, I don't know who I'd pick! I'm not in many fandoms to tell who is or isn't hated.

Who else would you be thinking of? Odds are they've been mistreated by fandom, but I might be able to tell you what I know about fandom's treatment of them.
