a meme
I am annoyed by absolutely everything today. Therefore, I meme. Grabbed from around, slightly modified.
Give me a character and I'll tell you some things:
1. How I feel about this character
2. All the people I ship romantically and/or sexually with this character
3. Favorite gen relationship(s) for this character
4. My unpopular opinion about this character
5. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
6. Random pet theory about this character that you won't convince me is not true.
7. A song or piece of music I associate with this character.
Any characters in any fandoms I know are fair game. But a lot of my fannish thoughts currently are about The Magnus Archives, Rusty Quill Gaming, and Stellar Firma.

John Reese (Person of Interest)
1. How I feel about this character
I think that for a character who was often unsubtly written, and almost always unsubtly performed, he's remarkably interesting and likeable. A lot of that depended on the writers knowing how to work with Jim Caviezel's limitations (for example, transforming his flatness into comic deadpan), and sadly, as the show gradually shed its best writers, the character got duller and duller.
I'm answering mostly on a meta level here because I'm not sure how much I have to say about Reese as such. His defining trait is loyalty, which makes his actions and values changeable depending on who he's loyal to.
2. All the people I ship romantically and/or sexually with this character
Harold.
3. Favorite gen relationship(s) for this character
The Reese and Carter friendship--and that's what it was, Caviezel-influenced last-minute writing decisions be damned--was great. They clicked on a level that was simpler than Reese's complex relationship with Harold. I also like Reese and Fusco.
4. My unpopular opinion about this character
Sorry, I'm bad at this question, because unless I'm actively involved in the fandom I don't know what the popular opinions are.
5. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
The last two seasons should not have forgotten that the relationship between John and Harold was the center of the show.
6. Random pet theory about this character that you won't convince me is not true.
I got nothin'.
7. A song or piece of music I associate with this character
Also nothin'.
