[wank = Draco = wank]
Jun. 10th, 2005 06:12 pmI really should stay away from HP wank, I really should. Yes. That is what I have learned.
But really, I saw this icon in the comments and pretty much sporfled; also, I just can't get over the way some (most??) people see Slytherin, of all the Houses. I know it'll stop being amusing some day, but not anytime soon. I love it when people go on about how subtle Slytherins are, but I suppose one can't be blamed for wishful thinking. Mostly it amuses me 'cause whether the person is insisting Slytherins are OMG SO GAWTH or like, subtly cruel and deep like aged wine or something, most people seem to take it so seriously. Like, v. few people get up in arms about the true nature of Hufflepuffs, do they? Possibly they're not as much fun to poke, I dunno (and everyone just leaves the Gryffs well alone, 'cause... yeah, capslock).
Man, that whole wank made me get in touch with my Gryffindor pride; I just love how a number of the Gryffindor types were all 'dude, you're a pompous deluded asshole-- you'll fit right in!' ...I feel so sentimental right now. I would totally want to be sorted into Gryffindor if only I didn't think the whole concept of House affiliation was kinda stupid. Only a Gryffindor would be like 'yeah, I'm a public menace. WHAT OF IT??!?' <3, people. Embrace your inner bipolar berserker, I always say! Sanity-- who needs that?
Anyway, I don't actually think I usually act like one, but man, I love melodrama (uh, from the outside). And capslock. Can't forget the capslock. No one understands, man. *tear*
...In the end, I just couldn't resist. And yeah, uh, it's too much trouble to actually try to be IC sometimes. Ahahah, I do amuse myself, at least.
Q: So, when did you realize you were emogoth & evil as fuck-- I mean, a true Slytherin, Mr Malfoy?
A: It's when I started to kick puppies as a child. My mother got this slightly put-upon face like, "oh dear". She used to do that a lot when Dad was out of the house. Naturally, I said the puppy started it. It was whining pitifully, and then the house-elf came to take it away. What do they do to severely maladjusted dogs, anyway? I'm sure I don't want to know. Afterwards, I sulked and she gave me cookies. With milk-- the way I like them. I mean liked. Liked. That was an evil dog, I tell you. Damn, where was I?
Q: Do you take lollies from children too? How do you feel when you do that? Does it hurt you?
A: [snickers] I feel proud. I'm proud my l337 skillz are improving apace-- proud they bring all the teeny girls to the yard. Some are even kind of fit. Big boobies, you know. They never shut up, though; can you imagine?
Q: The Lolitas, as it were?
A: Hell yeah. Sometimes I want to strut, so I do. I strut my stuff, baby. But in a straight sort of way. Write that down, will you? Draco Malfoy is a flaming heterosexual! Every bird with half a brain wants to maul me for my bloody lollipop!
Q: [clears throat] Yes, so... could you elaborate on that for us?
A: [fondly] You know, I once stole Crabbe's lolly in third year. He was making weird faces and sucking it-- it was just not on. Well, I almost stole the lolly, until I remembered it had minion cooties on it. Then I stuck it back into Crabbe's mouth. At which point Pansy walked in in her undies, and Goyle got a nosebleed, so you can imagine my--
Q: Yes, yes. Ahem. Allrighty then. Well, how do you feel about the Houses? Hufflepuff?
A: They're like those slugs Weasley coughed up in second year. Except slimier, and less amusing. I kind of liked those slugs. They had the right idea.
Q: Is that so? [writes]
A: Oi! But I don't like Hufflepuffs! Or bloody Weasley! What a menace! But he does make for great material. Have you heard my song? I could sing you my song! Stroke of genius, is what it was.
Q: What song, Mr Malfoy?
A: Do you want me to sing it to you? Everyone tells me I have a lovely voice!
Q: If you must.
A: Uh, all right, nevermind then. [coughs] Did you slip something in my drink? You're a Mudblood-lover, aren't you? Admit it, traitor!
Q: Can we... stick to the subject, Mr Malfoy?
A: Right, then. Have you seen that hair? Try not to run into walls while staring in horror! It's a safety hazard while trying to navigate the corridors, really. [mutters] But don't listen to Parkinson, whatever you do.
Q: Oh?
A: Eh, she just likes to wind me up. "You mock because you care, don't you, Draco!" [sing-song] What rubbish! Soon there'll be rumors about how much I love bloody puppies, and I'll know who to blame!
Q: Okay! [sweats] Onwards... Ravenclaw?
A: They can be useful on occasion, but generally they bore me half to death. Better than the Hufflepuffs, at least. Smiley people are so sickening, don't you think? Besides, yellow and black; what were they -smoking-? Neither of them have any fashion sense. Have you seen that fish-eyed blonde bird? Keeps bumping into me and tugging bloody carnivorous flowers from my hair. The nerve!
Q: Are you referring to Miss Lovegood, by any chance?
A: Yes, where was I? Oh. [crosses legs] Right. More than half of them are loons. Don't listen to the nerd's propaganda! They're all Potter's little lapdogs! Though that does help the cause of Slytherin domination. By counter-example, you understand. No independent thought at all. Pathetic! [sneers, uncrosses legs]
Q: Could you be more specific?
A: Hm, well... I'm evil but fair. That Chang bit seemed half decent on the pitch, but then she went and snogged Potter. If that's not proof she's crazy as a hatter, what is?
Q: And how have you come upon that information?
A: I have my sources. If you're implying Potter told me, you're mad! Just because--
Q: I see.... [cocks head]
A: Wait, wait, I didn't mean-- Strike that immediately! My Father would--
Q: [coughs loudly] Let's just forego your... clearly complex feelings on Gryffindor for now... Your own House, then? What's your innermost feeling there?
A: [slight pause] Minions, all of them. Except for Nott, who gives good head. Wait, no, strike that! I meant, except for Nott, who is a rat, and for Pansy, who gives good head. It was late one night, so I wasn't sure, but--
Q: Mr. Malfoy. What makes you say you're a true Slytherin?
A: Don't question me! I'm like, totally dark and evil. Haven't you heard the bit about kicking puppies? What does it take around here?! My god, it's almost like I have to Crucio someone just to get some respect around here. [hmphs]
Q: And what sorts of dark things do you like to do?
A: I bartend alone. All alone. In the dark.
Q: Be that as it may.... And what would you say to those people who would say you're, quote, "so gay it hurts" or in other words, "a walking rainbow", a "pink umbrella special" or a "girly girly boy"?
A: Those *bleep* *bleep*! They don't know what the *bleep* they're *bleeping* talking about! Why, I ought to *bleep* *bleep* their *bleep* *bleep* so hard they *bleep* *bleep* *bleep*!
Q: ....All right, I would say this concludes our interview then, Mr--
A: *BLEEP*BLEEP*BLEEP*BLEEP*BLEEP*BLEEP*BLEEPING*BLEEP*BLEEPS*!!!!!!
Q: That will be all, thank you. (And may I just add, SO IN DENIAL, OMGZ!!1)

And yeah, ha, "subtle" my arse. I think I made a post about sorting comms and their versions of Slytherin once.
Only a Gryffindor would be like 'yeah, I'm a public menace. WHAT OF IT??!?' <3, people.
The Weasley Twins: Houston, we have canon.
and Goyle got a nosebleed
Anime/HP = OTP.
Your interview wins my day.

Date: 2005-06-10 07:11 pm (UTC)Ahahah, I was looking at all the little comments you were making about 'aren't Slytherins -supposed- to be like that' (re: being try-hards & pompous bitches) that and snorting 'cause it's SO TRUE & no one seemed to notice :>
Heheh I was thinking Harry & Ron qualify too, though the Weasley twins are more drama-queenish about it >:D
Hehehe the only thing that amuses me more than Crabbe or Goyle nose-bleeding is probably imagining Marcus doing it >:D Or maybe Millicent. Omg, I still haven't written anything with Millicent except that one Millicent/Pansy drabble. 'Tis sad.

C'mon *they'd* totally be the coolest house. Zach and Cedric. Need I say more. Like the most sensible, half-normal people in the books? And while the Gryffindors are off risking their lives for meaningful causes and the Slytherins are doing PR and reviving "traditional wizard values" and the Ravenclaws are researching obscure historical spell tropes, who will do all the mundane, important work? Hufflepuffs that's who.
Also, here is an old britpicker post on UK class structure and whatnot that says (among other things) "Aristocrats, being likely to be rather happy at their place in society, thank you, would on my view be likely to land in Hufflepuff (dead loyal to their class, Crown, and country, you see) with only the types who were aiming to be powers at Court fetching up in Slytherin."
Um, did I have a point with all this?
In any case, Hufflepuff=totallykoolandthebesthouseever
no subject
Date: 2005-06-10 10:15 pm (UTC)I *heart* Zach, though Cedric, I could pass go (I guess he's decent, sort of like Neville but with a girlfriend and a nice body? Or something). Not that 'half-normal' is necessarily a bonus in my mind ;) ahahahaha I mean no, I love normal people... love 'em.... :> Though if I am in fact a Hufflepuff like most people seem to think, I'd prolly be the laziest, most useless Hufflpuff ever. Work is just... not my thing :> Though I dunno if I prefer study or like, uh, deep dark machinations or wicked pranks either. I just want to like, hang out. Guess I can be Ravenclaw if I get to be Luna :>
Um yes, where was I?
Heheheh I think yeah, good old staid & secure & affable Hufflepuff's probably the most prototypically (middle-class) 'English' House of them all. Awww <3<3 I really do wish they didn't go for that yellow & black thing. Dude. =;

naw, Middleclass stereotype is too busy being insecure about clawing up to upper or not slipping down to lower (see: dursleys). Hufflepuff is stolid aristos and hard-working lowers! Ok, and maybe non-toadying middle as they also seem to have the coda that they'll take anyone who doesn't really fit in anywhere else, loyalty and hardworkingness aside so... (hm, Hufflepuff is so where all the "alternative" types would be, but you really like to gnaw at problems, especially abstract ones, so I'm thinking... Ravenclaw? As if anyone can be so easily plunked into one of those categories alone. Actually the house system only makes sense if that's the qualities they're trying to instill/uncover/encourage into the kids. Like, give Luna and Cho some cold rationalism or Neville some guts or Draco some subtlety. It seems even dumber than randomness the way it is now. "Let's put all the brave people with the brave and ambitious with the ambitious etc etc so no one ever has to experience anyone too different from themselves at close quarters during their formative years!" )
If you think of the "yellow and black" as "gold and black" it becomes way cooler (if technically wrong, but anyway...)
blah blah blah :D
no subject
Date: 2005-06-11 12:37 am (UTC)Man, I didn't know there were that many known details about Cedric! You seem to have thought about this a lot (more than I have)! ...Which isn't hard, but. Well, I was going for the 'affable nice-guy'-- you know how they're all alike ;) No, I mean, I'm sure Neville's sekritly more psychotic... maybe. Or maybe we just know more about him so he's more interesting.
Lower middle-class, then? Er? I suppose there are some welcoming/high-minded aristocrats out there, too. Ahaha, it's funny you say that about alternative types 'cause I'd have thought Hufflepuff is where the normal (loyal + hard-working = normal?) people would be; then again, maybe hippies are normal to me, ahahah. This might be true.
Yeah, and wasn't the Sorting Hat really only putting people where they wanted to go? That seems to be the only thing that works; though it's true that Draco majorly needs subtlety, I think JKR intended to say that he so believed he -belonged- there and he was a Pureblood to boot, so there he went. Plus there seems to be some sort of Legacy system in place, like with the Weasleys. But the 'no one too different' doesn't work 'cause the other Gryffindors Harry knows (even Ron & Hermione) are so different; though I really agree the sorting system is kinda dumb. Which is why the sorting communities on lj make me sweatdrop. ><;; Though Ravenclaw's not been much success at turning Luna rationalist, nor Slytherin at turning Draco practical, alas. Possibly the Houses just exacerbate a lot of problems. I wouldn't be surprised.
I like that... 'gnaw'. Makes me sound sort of like a small yet obsessive woodland creature (except with a brain). Sister Magpie once said something about me liking to find a bone & not let go. I like my bones, 'tis true.
blah! :D
