The companions on whether they are morning people or not
Lae'zel: absolutely a morning person are you kidding me? She was raised in the military. She's never heard of sleeping in. That's for weak ghaik. Is consistently annoyed when the other companions sleep in. 
Wyll: morning person but likes to sleep in when he can. But he's always frickin doing Stuff™ so he can't. Monsters don't sleep in so neither can he. He likes early morning cuddles though. 
Shadowheart: a completely unpredictable force. The kinda person you find awake at 4 AM and there's no way to know if they just got up or stayed up. Gets up early and stays up late and goes to bed early and sleeps in late completely indiscriminately. 
Gale: the furthest from a morning person you can get. This guy was up until 3 reading random academic disputations in a field he does not study. If he doesn't have to, he's not getting up. 
Astarion: The Morning Person. beats Lae'zel out for "gets up insufferably early". On one hand, he has an advantage because he doesn't need to sleep like anyone else, but mainly he likes watching the sunrise every morning after not having it for two centuries, and it's very upsetting for him when he misses it. 
Karlach: she is not a morning person or a night owl she is A Sleeper™. She's eepy. She can get up early (not a lot of safe sleeping in the Hells), but now that she's out she's not getting up unless there's an massive disaster. Will sleep anywhere. Big snorer.

"fuck hunters" is an uneducated statement. hunters are bigger wildlife advocates than most people, and when you make generalized statements like "fuck hunters" you are clearly referring to either a) the hunters you knew who bragged about not following the laws or b) you're clutching your pearls over people who kill animals.
hunters are extremely important for our ecosystem! they keep wild populations in check, are one of the biggest funders for conservation efforts, and help promote sustainable land practices. not only is hunting beneficial for our land, it is also a tradition for many families for putting food on their tables and just for the sport and camaraderie. there will always be hunters who break the rules, but the people who follow them are the people who help sustain wildlife for everyone to enjoy.
reevaluate your beliefs if you are jumping to say "fuck hunters" when you read or hear about someone enjoying hunting. hunters are not heartless killers, most of us are people who care about animals and maintaining their natural habitats.

"Pretty enough to paint. Too bad I don't have a canvas. Or paints. Or the skills."
Never change, Wyll. Never change.

wyllstarion is everything to me because they both get what they need. astarion needs sincerity and romance and softness. wyll needs someone who is willing to be a MASSIVE fucking cunt on his behalf and encourage him to be more selfish.
