38. HOLY SHIT YESYESYES

9. Anti-yaoi communities often go beyond just anti-yaoi fangirls and cross over into homophobic. When JK Rowling outed Dumbledore, there were one or two posts and a bunch of comments crying about what would happen to the "poor chill'uns??" IIRC, they also equated any question of why it didn't happen in the books to wanting explicit gay sex written into the books, because, as we all know, being gay is all about sex while being straight is fluffy kittens and sunshine and holding hands and nothing more.

13. Mac/PC is so cute.

18. Well, I can't speak for Ryan/Gabriella because I think Ryan is totally, fabulously gay, but if the issue is that it's HSM, quite a few people know I love it (and that I'm all about the Chad/Ryan, which isn't canon either, although "I Don't Dance" is suuuuch a blessing). I think you'd be surprised at the number of people who love the movie and would either agree or could really care less about the fact that you like Ryanella. :)

22. I haven't read This Side of Paradise (that's where Amory Blaine is from, right?) but a couple of months ago I did wonder about Gatsby/Nick.

33. I think it's really cool that although you didn't intend it that way, you're fine (and pleased) with slash fans interpreting their relationship in another way. Kudos. ♥

35. I agree that Harry/Ginny didn't get any real feeling on Harry's part until suddenly in HBP. But, wow. Go re-read the series, because, seriously, I knew Ron and Hermione would end up together since like book two. I completely respect anyone's shipping choices, Harry/Hermione included. But to say that JK Rowling was just "pandering" to "crazy" Ron fans? Makes you sound like the crazy one.

33. Thank you! I was afraid people would think I'm just doing it to get more fans.

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

3. I know how you feel. I've just accepted the fact that if my life was fiction, I'd be the one trying to destroy the world and such. All my friends agree.

30. OMG, it's the technicolour dream coat! Sorry, every time there is mention of him I start joking about that coat.

[astronomia]

And that's why my Six RP account is technocolorcoat. I nearly squeed when I found out it wasn't taken.

39. The second season is gay? The first season had strap-ons, diamond encrusted codpieces, "blowjobs"/nosebleeds, banana stickers, hand holding, surprising people in costume, charity work for wayward kitties, hot tubbing, one guy getting choked up at the thought of another one dying, dramatic declaration of having always hated someone, hugging, and a male clown in spandex cut low enough to show his asscrack. The fashion episode was especially gay, but other than that, I think the second season's been pretty par for the course.

44. I love Peach, especially from the comics. <3

47. Mystery Men rocks. I was always touched by how genuinely nice The Shoveler was.

And 7!

[rinnia.livejournal.com]

7. That's the first gay pairing I can remember encountering online. I wasn't into it, but I was struck by how likely it seemed. At that point, I think doujinshi like that would've scarred me as well. Man, that's a long time ago. I never would've guessed then that a year later I'd be seeking out yaoi for a different fandom online.

Using a Peach userpic because I had to use the Metalocalypse one for my other comment.

25!!!

[selarne]

Prince of Tennis is the crackiest fandom ever. The only reason I love it as much as a I do. Now I have to go make sure Arii knows her community made F!S...

[(Anonymous)]

35. Ah, delusional Harmonians. You never fail to bring the wank just when I've almost forgotten about you, and I love you for it!

[(Anonymous)]

And here I couldn't stop snickering when reading the Horcrux scene because I knew it was going to piss off those rooting for H/Hr.

35; 38; 47

[sashwizzled.livejournal.com]

35; I liked Harry/Hermione as a cute little non-canon ship pretty much until the entire fandom went uber batshit fucking insane about Which One Hermione Ends Up With. Wtfever.
38; I agree with your views, good sir, and would gladly subscribe to your newsletter. Oh, so gladly. ♥♥♥
47; WHAT MOVIE IS THAT FROM? I was trying to remember what it was just two or three nights ago and I couldn't remember a THING about it. That picture's just reminded me.

47

[mollypocket.livejournal.com]

Mystery Men. ;D

35. SUCK IT TREBEK HARMOANIANS!

[quaedam.livejournal.com]

13. Wait--there are people out there who don't ship Mac/PC? D: DEPRAVED BASTARDS.

43. I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

OP 13

*Laughs!*

Maybe all my friends are looking at this and thinking "Oh my god! ME TOO!"

Wouldn't that just be amusing~ :3

[comixologist.livejournal.com]

He shovels well. ♥

[nights-mistress.livejournal.com]

Man, Tom/Carl was my first slash OTP, and I was eight. It's okay to ship them, I think the entire fandom does!

47.

[caudelac.livejournal.com]

That's... kinda awesome.

24 - I can guarantee you that you're not the only one who had that cross their mind. Hell, I was wondering that too from my first readthrough years upon years ago. It says in one of the books that they're not (one of the ones where Nita's freaking out about her and Kit in the future, I don't remember specifically), but it's still a pairing that could definitely make sense to me. And whether they are or not, their banter is still highly, highly amusing.

35 - ...You sound like my ex-roommate and that's... not exactly a compliment. I didn't dislike Harmonians until she started trying to stuff it down my throat - and then all the reasons they aren't perfect for each other come into view. The biggest and most important to me is, they aren't equals and they don't treat each other as such. One is always, always above the other. They're wonderful, amazing, great for each other friends, but they just don't have the dynamic, especially from Harry's end, to make it as a couple.

I blame this partially on the movies. They got rid of quite a few of the key scenes for Ron (and a few for Hermione), meaning some things that happened had to be switched around and assigned to other characters. Case in point, in Philosopher's Stone: in the book, they fall into the Devil's Snare, Hermione jumps away before she gets caught and panics. She gets better at it, but at that point in time she isn't able to cope very well with short-term thinking in the face of danger. Ron yells "Are you a witch or aren't you?!" and she remembers what she can do, produces flame, and burns the plants back to free the boys. Later, after the chess match, she gets her time to shine as her logic and reason is brought up in the potions puzzle Snape leaves. Ron couldn't have done that. But he got the "chess scene" and the potions would make a really boring movie segment, so their reactions to the plant got entirely reversed and therefore part of their character in the view of the public. Obviously, the kids grow up and their weaknesses get levied somewhat by experience and knowledge, until in DH Hermione's doing quite a fair bit of the short-term thinking (though still mostly the result of her long-range planning, interestingly). But the movies still change both Hermione and Ron, especially Ron, to something they weren't quite in the books. They make movie!Hermione more accessible to shipping with Harry because they also take away a lot of the things that show that Harry just does not have as much fun with her as with Ron - such as in GoF when he thinks about how having Hermione as a best friend is a lot more boring.

Whatever floats your boat and all, but I was seeing the R/Hr hints from PoA, and I didn't "ship" them until OotP. They're there. If you don't like it, that's fine, but it sure makes sense to me.

47 - You just made my day a little brighter ♥

3. I was thinking about that the other day and it pained me to realize that if there ever was a book about me I'd probably be considered the female version of Holden Caufield, a self-righteous, conceited pretentious asshole.
12. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Regardless what popular culture tells you, guys are not always ready to go.
35. There was a lot of hints, big ones, it's one thing to say you just didn't see it, another is to deny it completely.
As for H/G, I completely agree, it was all so contrived and pretty painful to read.

47!

[mollypocket.livejournal.com]

♥ ♥ I love that movie so frikkin much.

William H. Macy brings such heart to the Shoveler.

[forchancookie.livejournal.com]

19. Oh oh! I know! Ask for Demand an ipod! Or claim that your apartment was broken into and your computer stolen and have your friends raise funds for a new one so you can put out the next chapter of your opus! XD

[manda-babylon.livejournal.com]

LOL @ CassandraClaire

[loveotter.livejournal.com]

35. I can't stand people who insist their pet OTPs abosolutely HAVE TO BE CANON and it's some horrible tragedy if they aren't. Hey, here's a random idea for you--GO WRITE SOME FANFICTION. YES, FANFICTION. WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE!!!

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

23. I don't know anything about her other than her voice makes my ears bleed. So yeah, so far she's not off to a great start, but it's not like there's been much of a start anyway.

[parametric.livejournal.com]

24. Oh wow . . . . I just thought about that and realized I do too. XD

[(Anonymous)]

XD Isn't that such a wierd feeling? It's like you just assumed without realizing it.

[aestivalis]

23. Oh really? When the game comes out, and after I've played it, I'll be sure to disregard your opinion either way! :D

[aestivalis]

... Sorry for the harsh tone, that wasn't really fair. But the point stands - isn't it more fun to play the game first? >:?

Though I'm much more worried about the original cast right now than anything the new chaps have to offer, so maybe I don't really have a say. :O

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, maybe...just maybe...

I did that in an RP once. It was really quite difficult to write (and I don't think I did it justice). I should have another crack at it someday.

7. BEST SECRET EVER. I'm still cracking up. XD
39. For not liking gay you really say gay a lot. Do you have a compulsion to repeat the word "gay?" Gaygaygay.
47. You must have an awesome Dad. ♥
