IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE

[thirty2flavors]

Today (or was it yesterday?) shiiki made a post that happened to link to this "HP Companion" thing, and I decided to peruse the whole thing. I'm obviously not into Harry Potter like I once was, but the books -- especially Philosopher's Stone -- still give me a kind of warm squishy feeling (otherwise known as "nostalgia" but stfu, I like "warm and squishy") and so the site made me go "awww". Plus I actually read a thing or two I didn't already know, which is really saying something.

If I was more eloquent this might be a post about childhood and/or nostalgia or something, but I am not, so instead I bring you a POLL. For SCIENCE.

Somehow by way of Twilight and Doctor Who I gathered a lot of people on my flist who ship H/Hr. So I bring you questions. For science, and great justice.

[Poll #1352688]

On a totally unrelated note, look a meme:

THINK POSITIVE MEME

I don't usually do these. I guess I was feeling narcisstic. Link me if you've got one!

you know i never really DID ship ron with anyone. not because i didn't like him, i just couldn't see him with anyone really.

Man, that epilogue gave me nightmares for, like, a whole week.

[inksplotched.livejournal.com]

I almost ship Harry/Hermione just because if they did have kids - which I doubt they would - the names would be 4934635464 times more badass.

[birdseyeview.livejournal.com]

Same names but it would be Albus Severus, James Ronald and Lily Ginevra because the only way I can see H/Hr happening is if Ron and Ginny had died in DH.

I liked the epilogue, hdu.

[burn-to-emerge.livejournal.com]

God, I hate the epilogue. And it has nothing to do with shipping, because I like R/H, and am mostly indifferent to Ginny/Harry. It's just so... childish? Pointless? idk

[snowfire.livejournal.com]

I grew to like the epilogue just because everyone hated it! Poor, unloved, random epilogue.

Okay, and. I kind of shipped H/Hr, but ended up shipping H/G even more because I have this deep and abiding love for Ginny, but I ... shipped Ron with Luna? Even though I shipped Luna with Krum or Neville more. I just didn't like R/Hr a lot, even though I'm okay with them now because if I'm going to be indignant over ships in Harry Potter it's totally going to be over how Neville and Luna didn't get together.

RON/HERMIONE ARE THE ULTIMATE SHIP. SIT DOWN WITH YOUR INCEST-AND-NOT-IN-THE-FUN-WAY-HARRY/HERMIONE. BTW, R/Hr named their kid after me. Truth.

*awesome fangirl is awesome*

[christycorr]

I did ship H/H. For, like, five minutes.

They wouldn't have been Rose and Hugo because then the ~cute~ R/H thing wouldn't have worked. Harriet and Hugo, maybe. Or something of the sort.

I AM DEEPLY AMUSED BY THIS POLL
and am also very excited because I just realized that this is for that whofic.....which means that I change my answer in the first question to Luna. DEFINITELY Luna.

And Hermione wouldn't be down for dumbass names.

OH H/HR I MISS YOU.

[mo-chan.livejournal.com]

Awesome poll! I gotta admit I hate R/Hr, but I never really got on board with the H/Hr thing either. I always shipped Krum/Hermione, because Krum never had problems realizing his feelings!

Stupid Ron.

[theepiccek.livejournal.com]

I really liked Ginny? And I liked her with Harry? So that's why I shipped Harry/Ginny. But really, I was blinded by the James/Lily to ship anyone else for srs

[hysteriagalore.livejournal.com]

When I read book 1 I kind of wanted everyone to die at the end of book 7 (no particular reason, just because). Therefore I couldn't have cared less about any ship except for pre-death Lily/James perhaps (and recently Severus/Lily when I'm tired/drunk/sentimental).

I... don't think the epilogue was all that bad (except that out of all those people the deatheaters only got a few. Voldemort you prawn.)

HARRY/GINNY FOREVER!! In non-capslocky reaction, I love the canon HP ships. I love all about HP, including the epilogue. In fact, I kind of adore JKR for giving us such a lear cut happily ever after ending. My only issue is not enough Ginny. IMO, H/Hr is nowhere in the books, though it can be argued the movie leans that way a little. OBHWF!! (I do not mean to offend with my clearly strong feelings)

That poll. THAAAATTTT POOOOLLLLLL. I am insulted. XD

Oh, look, my thread! 8D

FALSE KALI. FALSE. I DON'T BELIEVE IN THIS RESEARCH. R/HR FOREVER. -implodes-
