[i really hate titles now for some reason]

Man, nothing weirds me out in quite the same way as the idea of being 'a fangirl'. But the truth is, I know I am-- like, okay. It's just that I'm a picky fangirl. When you think 'anime fangirl', for instance, you sort of think 'this person likes to watch any anime she can get her grubby little hands on, and she eats it all up & burps'. And I was like that at one point in time! For about a year when I first found it, when I literally did watch every single tape I could find/rent/steal/etc. I was a fangirl in that sense with H/D, too (for about a year), but then it palled. I can't fangirl things I think suck [in that funky OOC or purple-prosey or ice-prince!Draco kind of way] just 'cause they theoretically contain what I 'should' like, or something. Meh.

That said, people who say H/D is dead are definitely wrong; maybe it's dead like an 'old dead horse' is dead, but then so are most of the other HP ships, which have all been done to death [except maybe Draco/young!Dumbledore, which I have a particular fondness for]. There's as much crap as ever-- probably more. The only thing is that it's no longer new & exciting crap :))
    However, I might claim that H/D is less dead than some more fortunate ships, because for all the shifts in output and rise/wane of interest in fandom, people have still not written an IC enough, well-written enough, and plausible enough get-together fic for my tastes BY FAR, so :P [But... I'm one of those dratted over-idealistic wankers... plus I think it's by definition impossible, like catching your own tail.]

Aaaanyway. I don't have a point, but I was going to say that lillithium's latest H/D comic is one of those [few, proud, etc] things that make me feel all melty & shippy <333333333. I think this is one of the examples that proves art -can- transcend 'ICness', or exist in a grey zone because of execution as much as anything. It's like that Arthur C. Clarke quote about magic & technology, except we'll call this Reena's Law because I'm feeling megalomaniac today: Any sufficiently advanced piece of art is indistinguishable in feel from realism. :D :D But now we're back to me being quite, quite picky about what I consider 'sufficiently advanced', heh. Also, I think anything I'd consider 'art' would contain emotional realism anyway because that would be necessary to strike the right notes.

Really, I just wanted to post my own stupid comics!doodles [mentioned yesterday], though after that one I feel they're even more stupid. There's some stupid meta I could type up too, but maybe I'll save that for later yeah, you know it's good when even I don't wanna read it again.
    ( Harry & Draco! And cocks. Warning: very stupid. )

Ummm... and here's an even stupider non-fandomy comic I also did on my 'vacation' 'cause I was just. That. Bored :P
    ( I guess it has boobs. Stick-figure boobs, anyway. I, uh, drew this on a bunch of pink post-its & it shows. :P )
