... if you only love one or two characters out of an entire piece of media, how is that piece of media enjoyable to you? I honestly don't understand. If I only like one or two characters out of the entire cast, that's a sign for me to stop watching/reading/playing because a single character alone can't carry my entire interest in a story I'm otherwise uninterested in.

not ayrt.

but for me at least i usually only get attached to one or two characters, while everyone else is at an 'they're fine' level, but i'm not invested in where their story goes beyond general curiosity. i just don't love more than a few characters in any media i watch, never have, never will. it's never impacted my ability to enjoy things.

DA - Seconding this strongly.

I do occasionally have shows where I care about many of the characters. I cared about almost everyone on BSG, for example. But I also wasn't fannish about BSG and didn't strongly ship any pairings for that show. So while I cared about all the characters quite a bit, I didn't care about any of the characters SO SO SO SO DAMN MUCH OMG HOW DO I HOLD ALL THESE FEELINGS?!! the way I do with my ships.

If I have a ship, though, then yeah, I care about the characters in the ship at an intensity level of eleven out of ten. And then there's everybody else. Everybody else is fine.

1. Because my faves are almost always main characters who get a lot of screentime and are integral to the story.

2. Because I love my ship with an intensity that is basically impossible to overstate. I am obsessed with my ship. My ship is the giant dopamine fix I am never not jonesing for. My ship is joy. My ship is love.

3. Because often, I watch things for the art of it all. I just want to experience writing/film-making that has something sharp and perceptive to convey. So I don't need to care about the characters on more than a basic human level, because I'm watching for what the thing has to say and how it's going to say it.
