~~oo. shiny.

if there is one thing that squicks me.... (no, it's not harry/dead!james, eheheh), it's got to be draco (or harry) thinking of the other as "my beloved" or "love" or "oh, my dearest soul of my soul, heart of my heart, bunny of my bunny". ahahah. if you use the word "beloved" in terms of boy thinking about boy, you are a) writing about boys who need their mummy just a liiiitle too much; b) secretly wanting to cut off their cocks and make them female. eheheheh. yes. also, there's a good likelihood that your writing sucks, ehehehe. it's on its happy way to getting the patented Reena Stamp of Disapproval, which makes your mirrors break and black cats get cozy under your stairs. (and hmmmm, the all-time cutest animagus form for harry would be a black cat that liked curling up under stairs. but that's neither here nor there. and then~! ahahah and then. draco's animagus form would be a white ferret. naturally. i would've said white cat, but white ferret is so much more amusing, so there you go~:)
    but to be honest, it's not just harry/draco that it would squick me with. in fact, any pairing it -would- be in-character for, in any story, any fandom, anywhere-- would turn me off. which means that maybe some people dig it and some don't. that's ok. those people who dig it can keep their fic far, far away from me, and no one will get maimed ^^; eheheheh. yes. *eyes glow red*
~~

    also: some fan-worship. mmmm, linn's art makes me... purr. snape and draco and oooooh, dv!harry/draco and, and, the ginny is so -beautiful- i could -die-. linnpuzzle's art is just.... wah. incoherently pretty. hee.


seriously, (good) fanart rocks my world. i love seeing the variations on things, that i would never imagine. i know some people don't like seeing a version of a character that are completely foreign to their own conception, but i just really enjoy it. like, zamber's art, for instance (ie, this & this & this) is -nothing- like i conceive draco to be, and yet she's one of my favorites. in fact, in a way, there's almost a separate appreciation for the most canonically conceived (ie, i get that special tingle if i feel someone's managed to capture what i consider a character's essence, like say, this pic makes me go-- whee! harry!) and just the most imaginative and startling (this probably also applies to stories). so i went to the blondetiger.net h+d site (randomly), and it has some common fanart, but also some obscure stuff, like ruaki's art (which i've seen before, in bits of pieces too, actually). mostly, it's this conception of draco as a sort of cross between a high magician and a prince that intrigues me (and see, he always has a sword. wheeee! sword-wielding!draco. usually he just makes cameo appearances, like in taylor's fanart for the draco trilogy). and eeeeee, tenmei's h+d comic is too adorable ^^

btw, has anyone noticed how like, virtually no one (that i've seen) among fanfic writers in this fandom seems to find magic fun and yippy-yeay exciting? is it just me? are we all really old? what? (well, except for the draco trilogy, but it doesn't count for my purposes, unless it's slash, eheheheh).
    i mean, ok, i know, dark themes, love, lust, incest, doom, war, death, guilt, regret, angst, sex, blahblahblabbetyblah. but seriously, these aren't the reasons one -usually- has for reading children's books. can't make an argument for harry potter, since everyone and their dead uncle has read them (well, er... won't incriminate myself there, ahem). i read young adult fantasy, and it ain't because of the war/death/guilt/angst/sex thing going on, ahahahah. i think magic is yeay!whee!sparkly!nifty!yeayness.

c'mon. anyone?
sparkly? shiny? wizardness? (and yes, i'm all yeay! wizards! 'cause of this one pic. sad, really.)
     well, the books are kind of darkish-and-yet-satirical adventures and blahblah-the-dark-lord-is-coming-blah. you know, that's why i was all, "i'm never reading this stuff", partly anyway (aside from my initial inability to read jkr's style without hacking, coughing and running away). i just don't like the whole, Dark Lord shtick. pure-evil villains. i just don't find them interesting-- i don't care enough to hate them, they just seem-- bleh. juvenile in that -bad- way.
    did i just call ultimate!evil juvenile? why yes i did. moreover, it's just not fun.

on the other hand, magic is fun. being a wizard is fun. the fact that it's a parody in a lot of ways, of course leeches some fun from it (ie, stupid learn-by-rote spells, stupid cauldrons, stupid boring classes, blah-blah-it's-just-like-the-real-world blah). but, i mean, think of it! werewolves! gryffins! unicorns! cups-turning-into-elephants! scary professors that want to eat. you. alive.! danger! intrigue! true love! dark hate! bad. -bad-. jokes.(!)
   all that, and mostly, it's just never any fun. magic does two things in the fanfic i've read: mess you up and propel plot (well, propel plot in that way where it's just a plot-device, not in that way where it's something to enjoy on its own merits). naturally, i read slash. there must be oodles (i'm sure) of magic-ful adventure!gen out there. who cares, though. i still want my harry-draco-kissing, here.

btw, (and this is much more important)...
    has anyone been looking for really good h/d porn? yes?
well, this. yes. mmm. i call this-- h/d classic, heh. never goes outta style, as far as i'm concerned. you can thank kissmeagain, i'm just the messenger ^^ (and no, i dunno why i picked that one. er. yes. also, the ron/hermione, just because.)

    and even more porn: sabershadowkat wrote a porny topping to the smallville from two weeks back, which i thought couldn't be done. wah. i so needed to be reassured. the red rock of sex strikes again!! eheheheh. damn. this should've been part of the show. *giggles* well, without the um... blatant sex, sadly.
    and more smallville yet. ivy's `become'. not slash and not anything i thought i'd like, and kind of dark without being angsty and... gah. smallville fic sneaks up on you.

penelope's corridors and stairs is... er... not porn. it's also ron/draco (*cries*). except not really. it's beautiful. of course, she makes cocaine!draco beautiful, so naturally, yes. my squicks are disappearing. going, going, gone. still won't seek out any other than harry/draco fics (i spend enough time reading fanfic, thankyouverymuch), but. yes.

and, this is just. godddamn. goddamn. i .... this...yes. Whereas the body.
    willow/tara.
    goddamn.
