Ride the Snake, Baby

[noblerot]

Done. Would this be a good time to quote from "The End" by the Doors? Nah. But it would have been fabulous if Harry had done so somewhere near the climax of Deathly Hallows. Just because Harry doing a Jim Morrison, in a heroin daze, shirtless and sweating in his leather pants, is too beautiful an image to waste

So what if women in the magical world are still primarily cooks and caretakers....

Eh, I think that's a pretty narrow reading of it, to be frank. I was more impressed with the women in this book than I have been in any of the others. They all took a whole bunch of risks and were in there pitching in just as much as the men were. I'm already getting pretty 0_o at the reaction of some women on my f-list as far as Hermione and Ginny and Tonks having children and how that somehow... I dunno... means they're weak or "only" mothers or whatever.

And the unresolved plot lines mean fandom still has something to play with.

I hate that the epilogue only TELLS us who begat who. Equal opportunity; I'd like to know wtf else Harry and Ron ever did in the last 19 years, too.

[noblerot]

Fuck Harry and Ron! I wanna know what the hell Draco's been doing for 19, besides begetting kids with lame names and losing his hair, I mean.

[gmth]

Yeah, the epilogue is flawed in all kinds of ways. It only really tells us a few people had sex a few times. But at least it leaves things open for us to keep playing.

I'm kind of relieved that it's over. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. I am glad that Lucius lived, and in my own little happy place, he's living in LA and teaching Viggo Mortensen how to use his newfound magic.

[noblerot]

OMG. The images you've given me. Lucius with a tan.

*bogglez*

Yeah, I'm relieved, too. She let him off waaay easier than I thought she would. Maybe he grew on her, like a handsome fungus.

[forestgreen]

Wait! Viggo finds his magic as in Viggo's own magic or as in Lucius' magic?

[darkrosetiger]

See here. It's not all posted, but it is complete, so (unlike some of our other stuff) it won't be languishing in WIP purgatory forever.

Long live the republic

ALBUS SEVERUS. And Scorpius. My friends informed me that there's already a AS/S (heh) community. The revolución continues.

Re: Long live the republic

[noblerot]

Comrade! I salute you, even though I maintain that Scorpius is the Worst. Name. EVER.

Re: Long live the republic

[malafede]

I'll stick my comment here because your icon is making me nostalgic. And hi!

Scorpius is a vigilante name. Therefore he will be a vigilante Slytherin, who will somehow start a revolution or do it serving Queen Rose, who is in Slytherin because I say so and because I don't like ASS.

And long life Dumbledore/Hitler Nazi. I wonder if their sick love will be an inspiration for Sgorbio.

I'm sure that JKR is a secrete Farscape fan and I can't blame her for it. It'd be extremely hypocritical.

I like Scorpius as a name; it's sad, but it's been conditioned unto me.

I vote for a trippy dream-like interlude wherein Jim Albus tells Harry to put on a rock festival at Hogwarts, not unlike Wayne's World II.

There could be a loincloth-clad Indian, even.

[noblerot]

Whoa, and acid in the butterbeer! Yeah. And then they'll find Harry IN TEH BATHTUB DED FROM TEH OD!!!1!!

[chronographia]

(with Myrtle oggling his young nekkid corpse?)

[noblerot]

She's in the tub, taking pictures for the tabloids.

[fictionbya]

When do we start seeing some Grindelwald/Dumbledore slash?

Soon, I should think. It's so obvious.

[tekalynn]

There's at least one community up already for it.

I love my fandom.
