Sieg Zeon. ^_^

Flay (or Fflay or Fllay or whatever the correct spelling is; damn Seed names) is what she is, but she could have been so much more ... hence 'fic. :-)

Yeah, I'm hoping the whole thing's not a hoax. Though my ex did tell me about it all being released - I'm not sure where she got her info, either.

That would be so cool, to find the entire series.

I think the "naked undead cameo" is pretty lame no matter who gets it, but whatever.

[indulge.livejournal.com]

We totally must be, oh my! |D

Hey, and we both RP Matt places. Win♥

[indulge.livejournal.com]

....at least I think we do. XD;;; *airhead*

I don't get into fights about it because I agree it's pointless but I have pairing preferences of characters who I have interpreted as being more likely to top most of the time (or bottom, as the case may be depending on character). I've thought about their characterizations and how I've chosen to interpret them to come to these conclusions.

How does that make me wrong or stupid?

Actually, J.K. Rowling has stated that the names are pretty much meant to be stereotypical. Harry Potter is a stereotypical name for an Englishmen, while Seamus Finnegan is a stereotypical name for an Irishmen. It's an indirect way of clarifying nationalities--with a name like Cho Chang, you can pretty much assume that that person has Asian blood. It's racist because it IS supposed to be racist. xDD So I suppose if there was an black America at Hogwarts, his name WOULD be Tyrone Jackson.

Oops--a black American. C:

There is a black kid at Hogwarts. I think his name is Lee Jordan? (Could be wrong, I'm not a huge fan)

[chelonianmobile.livejournal.com]

I've met multiple Patel families, and I'm in Britain, but that doesn't invalidate "Patil". I think it's kinda like the difference between Smith and Smythe, except I don't think either Patil or Patel is as ridiculously pretentious as "Smythe". I don't know the language, so don't take my word for it, I'm just guessing.

Anyone ever think that maybe Rowling gave the characters names like that because, well ... PEOPLE DO HAVE NAMES LIKE THAT? Hell, for all we know, Cho might be white and have really ignorant whatever-the-Chinese-ish-equivalent-of-Wapanese-is parents ... nah, born two decades too early, wasn't she?

#2:

OH GOD, ME TOO ♥

Dying with such a bang, and specially if it is for someone else (for L as revenge and in Mello's name in this case, I like to think >.>;;) = Way to go.

#16: Miguel and Tulio, hell yes. I was hot for Miguel too, but personally I wanted him with Tulio far more.

I think I read a ship manifesto for them, long ago.. *shrugs*

No no, if you don't like a female character it's because you're either a rabid yaoi fan or an angry feminist that's never pleased.

You can't just not like female characters because you don't like the character. Didn't you get the memo? :P

[marikandcloe.livejournal.com]

Lulzzz guess I missed that one xD

PS: You're icon entertains me ♥

Re: 8.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

... but he's not American. ;P

[halcyonjazz.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I'M IN THERE???

... and who exactly thought up "Ling-Linglolimasian" and "Tyrone Jackson"?

Plus, some people DO have names like that - I've known people with names that are very "stereotypically" asian, African American, Irish, etc.

[halcyonjazz.livejournal.com]

16. Dude, it's Dreamworks.

[aviy.livejournal.com]

*2D american animation -- CORRECTED?

Tho that explains the gay at least.

[rayiroth.livejournal.com]

I believe it's "Autumn", as the Chinese version of her name was 张秋. How on earth did that end up as a Mary Sue name is beyond me.

Re: 8.

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

No, he's Jamaican, Potterverse being in the UK and things. There are actually three - that I can remember - named black characters in the series, two males (Jordan and Thomas) and a females (Jones, IIRC, Angelina? whatever).

And yes, JKR has a very Raj thing about stereotypical names.

[flyingskull.livejournal.com]

YES! YAY! OOTS FTW! etc

I personally ship Elan/Nale and Sabine/Haley, but then I was always the one for crack!ships. :-D

Lych/Goblin (am I a sad fan that I can't just now remember his name?) is anther good crack!ship, though and I endorse it mightily.
