Ahhhh, [livejournal.com profile] stellabelle so owns me. Yeah, she wrote another H/D fic and yeah, I'm so in love with it I have to pimp it in this most embarrassing fashion. Ahem.

Possibly this might have to do with the fact that it's called `I Have A Girlfriend, You Fucker!'. I think this and this alone could make me fall over from the sheer beauty of it all.

Also, after [livejournal.com profile] the_leaky's unfortunate descent into angst, I so needed this, man. Besides, there are references to like, British things in it. Like... like Kensington. Oh, the love. As well as easy!Draco and rather-stupid-but-eager!Harry. The world really should work like this. I mean, it may not, but DAMMIT IT SHOULD. Actually, it -does-, doesn't it?

Well, so you're using monster in a unique way just as I'm using redemption in a unique way :> A monster can't be harmless to me, I sort of see that as the point of being monstrous. If you're harmless, you're ...not a monster. Alien is just misunderstood, different or unknown, monsterous is the manifestation of a sort of xenophobia in that case-- but I feel no need to use that definition so I don't. :>

By 'people's false perceptions' I meant fandom's take on Draco in general not shaping how I define my terms. I'm not accusing you of anything :>

Am I? Reappropriating the term monster is a rebellion against demonisation; the theft of a character's humanity. I never say "Draco is misunderstood" to mean that he is a secret little angel, I say it to mean that he isn't the little devil mainstream imagery paints him as. And I know you don't care about mainstream imagery before you tell me, but I do, and that's why I use the word. If I am making up a new terminology it's just to point out that the whole monster business is a fallacy. Sort of like the word "queer".

Oh, good then. <3
