Love the drag, dahling, but your purse is on fire.

So yes, after three days of congestion and coughing, I totally sound like Tallulah Bankhead, and my oh-so-ladylike swigging of Nyquil right out of the bottle last night pretty much sealed the deal. However, as bad as I sound, I actually think I've turned a corner. Mind you, this is after I managed to pass it on to my husband, my co-worker and god ( Read more... )

Whether it's being used in admiration or mockery. I hate them all.

Preach it, sister. Seeing "Snermione" actually literally makes me want to commit physical violence.

And you're so right: fail is the gate. If this isn't failfail, at least let it be failgate.

Thanks. I honestly don't see how anyone who actually likes a pairing could embrace the smushname, unless it's one of the few that sounds good. I love some of my House/Cuddy shipping friends, but really? Huddy? Really?

And it's not just me on the "failfail?" YAY!

It's not just you. It's the go-to word for mindless sheep disguised as fangirls who are frightened that, should they express an opinion that is not 100% party line, their ego-boo will dry up and they'll waste away in the Pit. "FAIL" should be reserved for over-the-top, beyond-the-fail, all-caps situations of crazy. Stop escalating the superlatives.

Snuna is my personal vendetta. A) I just don't see the pairing at ALL, and B) the smushname is AWFUL.

It sounds like a contagious skin condition. "We're keeping Jenny home today. She has a light case of snuna."

I read one glorious Snape/Luna fic where he was terribly ill and/or injured and stashed away at the Lovegoods to keep him out of harms way until he could recover. Luna nursed him and so became very familiar with his, ahem, processes. And when he was well enough to converse with her, he, of course, flipped his shit. But Luna pursued him in her weird, scientific way and it was very good.

I should stop describing and find you a link, huh? Yes.

Very possibly, though I'm out of the HP fandom in all but name these days....

I think you've hit it on the nose, with the skin condition thing. Have you gotten your snuna vaccinations yet? Your children need them before going to school....
