Mar. 8th, 2005 11:33 pmYou Know You're a Harry Slut (And You Might Need Help) When:
- 1. Get your facts straight: it's Gryffindor Sex God, not Slytherin. Honestly! Harry wins why? Because he deserves to win!!
- 2. Sometimes it still shocks you that there are actually people who like the books in spite of instead of because of Harry. You mean the books are about something other than Harry??!
- 3. Harry fanart makes you squee the most, no matter what he's doing or who he's with. (Wheee, Harry with Hagrid! Harry's hair looks particularly cute in that one!)
- 4. You have or want to have every Harry doll, plushie or action figure ever made. You cuddle (or talk) with one or more at a time. If someone touches the plushie, they DIE!!1 (...but the plushie can cuddle a Draco figure if one's around.)
- 5. Sometimes you think you like Ron or Hermione just 'cause they're Harry's friends. Do they have great taste or what?? Hagrid is also kind of okay (hey, Harry likes him, that's good enough for you!)
- 6. You think Harry definitely deserves to get whatever girl he likes (and that other girl, sure why not...), the boy (and that other boy looks tasty too), and hey, why not also the welcome-wagon and a butterbeer or two? THE BOY NEEDS A REST. SNAP TO IT, EVERYBODY.
- 7. You have to remember to catch yourself to stop thinking of everyone in canon from Harry's pov and over-justifying things.
- 8. Your heart flutters everytime you see that sexy-heroic-glare image of him from the PoA promotional poster, passing by in Blockbuster. Forget about the sword shot from CoS, 'cause even thinking of that makes you twitch in um, glee.
- 9. Your feelings are hurt anytime someone says Harry is something less than adorable in spite and because of all his flaws or doesn't seem to understand HIS DEEP AND MEANINGFUL ANGST. WHY IS THE WORLD SO MEAN??!
and
- 10. You look at the scarily green American HP:HBP cover and think, OMG HARRY! I'VE MISSED YOU SO! YOU LOOK SMASHING, AND HEY, A LITTLE BIT OLDER! AWWWW YOU'RE GROWING UP!! BABY!! I CANNOT WAIT TILL I'M CLUTCHING YOU FEVERISHLY IN MY HAPPY LITTLE PAWS! AAAH! WHY MUST YOUR DORKY GLASSES ENTHRALL ME SO??!
.... And then you see the British cover and think, WAH NO HARRY! NOOOooooo -.-

Date: 2005-03-08 11:42 pm (UTC)But y'know, frankly I don't care, as long I get my Draco's Detour fix. :P
Seriously though, sometimes I want to slap him. Not quite as much as Albert from Gankutsu-O (OMG most annoying protagonist EVER!!11one Which of course, just makes me love the evil Count more), but yeah. The urge happens. Cos he's rather thick sometimes. And stubborn. And both at the same time causes my eye to twitch. Obviously I don't get the deep and meaningful CAPSLOCKED angst, or at least, I don't get why he hasn't turned goth/emo/Slytherin/evil-as-fuck because of it now. Which is disappointing, because I'm hanging out for some darkside!Harry in canon.

Date: 2005-03-08 11:53 pm (UTC)...Actually, I think the British cover is cooler too, on a design level. BUT WHO CARES ABOUT DESIGN??!? ahahaha. *cough*
I want to slap Draco all the time-- I think I am starting to see some sort of pattern, 'cause Draco-lovin' H/D shippers always want to slap Harry. They're both pretty slappable (...is that a word?? okay, no) I mean, Draco is stubborn, whiny & makes really stupid jokes and generall does his best to act like a jackass. Is that not a slappable offense, I ask you??!
The reason he hasn't turned evilly goth is 'cause HE'S SO RIGHTEOUS OMG. Actually, it's 'cause he doesn't really -want- anything; like, he doesn't want power over people or to control people or to take over any organization (not even the DA)-- he just wants the people who annoy him to go away and shut up. The real Slytherin-type behavior starts when you achieve what Machiavellians like to call "the will to Power"-- which Voldie has, which Draco has, which even Hermione has-- but Harry doesn't. He has power without the will to wield it, so much. He lashes out at people (like Draco, for instance) without premeditation-- he just acts on how he feels but he doesn't pre-plan these things, he doesn't really intend to go anywhere with his anger 'cause I think he's your regular semi-antisocial teenage boy. He doesn't have a 'goal', basically.
He -has- turned emo, though :D

He has power without the will to wield it, so much.
Pussy!

I'm easy except for my super-duper chastity-belt of Doom, extreme mind-reading powers and sonic eye-rays of Destiny that will pierce through all deception and NULLIFY ALL SLYTHERIN THREATS WITH THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
...or something.
