Veronica Mars!

1. The first character I fell in love with: Veronica, obvs.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Logan, haha. You'd think I'd hear "psychotic jackass" and be ALL OVER that shit, but no?
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: I think Trina gets a lot of love purely for being Alyson Hannigan, even though she's completely useless as a character.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Jackie and Piz. I assume people hate them, lol.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Okay, I ADORED Cassidy until his character took a sharp left turn into crazytown. WHAT. What was wrong with him being severely messed up and NOT homicidal or a retcon rapist?
6. The character I would shag anytime: Logan
7. The character I'd want to be like: Veronica
8. The character I'd slap: Heh, probably Logan? So hard to choooose.
9. A pairing that I love: Logan/Veronica
10. A pairing that I despise: Duncan/anyone

2. LOL what's this story??
3. Haha, does she? I was not aware. That's weird.
4. Heh, yep, people do. I love them too, though.
5. RIGHT? SMH for that retcon.

Hahaha, it's not much of a story. I think I just underestimated how fucked up Logan really was? Like, people who are assholes purely for the sake of being assholes don't impress me, but ~damaged assholes who lash out as a coping mechanism? YES PLEASE. And Logan gets introduced as basically a one-note jackass (IIRC, he wasn't supposed to be as big a part of the show as he ended up being?).

It didn't actually take that long for me to like him, lol - half a dozen eps in or so? Although I really went full-tilt "THAT IS THE ASSHOLE FOR ME" when he and V are investigating his mom's suicide.

LOL I see. Yeah, I just skip that part and assume that with great assholery comes great damage. :D I didn't know that about Logan not intended initially to be an important character, though.

THAT IS THE ASSHOLE FOR ME"

:')

Yeah, apparently Logan was just supposed to be a guest role for the pilot. Jason Dohring went in to audition for Duncan but played it way too dark, and they were like, "Let us direct you to this asshole over here..."

(Also, Teddy Dunn initially auditioned for Logan before being cast as Duncan. Can you imagine if they'd switched roles?? We could all be Veronica/Duncan shippers! :-O)
