reenka: (he's got the look.)
I'm starting to think that I'll like anything if it's got the right sort of smut in it. I mean, I came across this Harry/Dudley, and I really liked it. A lot. And I mean, I am very far from shipping that sort of H/D. But there you go. Fumbliness and stupidness and wanking & I'm there. Sigh.

I was just thinking earlier that all I might have messed myself up somehow, by reading so much smutty romance fic over the years. Well, since puberty hit, anyway. Because now, any book I read-- if it's got a relationship in it-- I want to see smut. I feel incomplete without the smut somehow, like some basic part of the satisfaction in reading is missing. And it's not a question of wankfic or porn, really-- it's just a rush, like... an emotional charge, mind-candy. A lot of modern literature does have sex-scenes, but that's not enough for me, generally. If anything, they're always pretty non-descriptive or not sexy somehow, with artsy word-choices and usually the focus is on how this scene is "relevant" to the story in whatever way, with no "fat" to speak of.

And yet.
    I'm not entirely sure that's what I want. Maybe I just want to talk about it till the cows come home. Yes. )

    Trailer! Trailer! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!!1 :D :D :D
    Nothing much coherent to say. I love Harry. God, I love Harry. THERE ARE NO WORDS (for how much I love Harry). I realize this is unfashionable, but it's true. Even more unfashionable in some circles, I love Daniel Radcliffe as Harry. Heeeeeeeeee!! His deep voice!! Heeeeeeee! That earnest clean-cut stare! The way he can carry off sounding both innocent and fierce! The way he kind of... I don't know. Glows :D :D

I mean, okay, the chorus singing kind of bothers me, 'cause it's way cheesy. Tom Felton just looks kind of silly (I don't mean the hair-- he's been having that haircut for ages now in publicity photos). I mean... he just looks bland... there's no spark in him. And Ron! Poor Ron, always the comic relief (I miss snarky!Ron, much as I love doofy!Ron). Though Rupert's good at being the goofy one, I guess. Emma just pisses me off for some reason (she seems... bitchy more than bossy, prissy even-- she reminds me of Draco, omg!) She just doesn't have any of Hermione's insight and intelligence, and there's no sense that she and Harry (or she and Ron) are actually -friends-, and she's not just "the girl".

But Daniel still has me at hello. He's just so... genuine. He has that swagger that makes you want to believe in Harry The Hero, and the charming boyish simplicity that makes it less than cheesy to me. He makes me want to believe, this Harry. He's more fanon, of course, without the blemishes or the darkness, just your basic fierce boy with a hero complex, but those aren't easy shoes to fill either, just look at all the horrendously cast superhero movies & shows. Tom Welling, anyone? Yeah.
    *siiiigh* Oh, I love him, I do. I was thinking, trying to determine which HP character I'd want to spend my life with (one of those cheesy quiz-type questions), and of course the only answer would have to be Harry. We may not be particularly suited, but I just-- love him. Everything he is, and everything he could be, and everything he is without having to make him represent anything. He's the Fool in me, of course I love him.
