Fannish character meme

auroracloudA meme grabbed from kindkit, because I want to be social about something and this seems like a good way. And also because I haven't done a fandom meme in a while and this looks like fun.
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.
Feel free to pick any fandom that you know I like. If you're not sure if I know/like something, try it and I'll tell you if I don't know the fandom/character enough to have these opinions. Just one caveat: if you pick Doctor Who, I've still got very conflicted feelings about the Chibnall era thanks to the S12 finale, so please be a sweetheart and don't pick the characters from that era. Anything else goes, old and new.
My AO3 account - not only my own works but also my bookmarks etc. - can provide you some ideas as to which fandoms I've been into in the recent years, if you have trouble remembering.

I'm not terribly good at shipping most Doctors, and I OTP'd on these two hard and don't need anything else, so there I am. I even get mildly-to-moderately annoyed when the show tries to low-key ship him with one of the guest ladies.
3. I totally love his relationships with all his companions, each one individually as well as the TARDIS teams of his era. The dynamics are lovely and give me lots of happy feels! I'm trying to think of whether any of the guest character dynamics jump out at me - there's the Brig, of course, I like their interaction. And I feel like his interaction with just about everyone in the War Games is great. And I always love it when he gets to geek out about science with a guest character.
4. Hmm, I can't think of a massively unpopular opinion I have of him... Other than that I think I take him more seriously than many fans do. Of course he's got plenty of silly characteristics, and his running is hilarious, but he's also very badass when he needs to be, is seriously on the side of good, and he's brilliant at having elaborate and intelligent plans while nobody realizes he could be up to anything like that. I feel like a lot of fans - of the show in general, not especially fans of the era - are more familiar with his comical aspects than the serious ones.
5. I basically refuse to believe the ending of the War Games, you know, from Jamie and Zoe's departure onwards, or at least I refuse to believe it sticks. Totally a Season 6B believer here. Otherwise it breaks my heart too badly.
6. I could just point to the previous answer, but I guess it's not a random pet theory, given that it's pretty major. Hmm... I'm sure I'll remember some more detailed ones after I've done this meme. But I definitely love expanding on the Doctor's Coat Pockets Of Unending Items from which he pulls out just about anything, and love imagining the coat as a TARDIS-like bigger-on-the-inside item, or like Hermione's bag from the last Harry Potter book in which she can fit insane amounts of stuff. I've seen some adorable fan arts of this, but of course I can't remember where to find them right now...
7. Well, if I heard Skye Boat Song played with a recorder more often, that would definitely always remind me of him! When sung, it reminds me of enough other things that he doesn't get to own it, though...
