meme time is ... all the time?
THE GRAB BAG MEME
I. Post a list of your characters.
II. Ask questions! Anything from "Why'd you pick up character X?", "your most hoped-for canonmates for Y", "how would you describe your canon Z to somebody totally canon-blind?" to total ridiculousness like "your character in a band AU, how does it go". This is a getting-to-know-your-lineup meme ( Read more... )

BUT! Headcanon:
1. I imagine Jamie is a movie buff, because he is canonly not much of a reader (literally the only thing he says about Pride and Prejudice is that he liked "the hot soldier buffet") or into schoolwork, and does not seem as though he is a huuuge gamer to me. So I think probably TV is his Thing! Since... in canon he gets bullied in school and uh has no friends (other than Nick.....), so I don't think he has much of a social life. I also headcanon that he is into black and white movies, and that he and Mae frequently have movie nights when she is not off on dates or going to raves with her friends.
2. He has said that he knew he could do magic from a young age, so I think there was probably a period of his life when he was like seven or eight where he thought he was a mutant or a superhero or something like that (I think comic books are probably another of his Things). He probably even made himself a cape at one point, at least until he realised he probably shouldn't draw attention to the fact that he can levitate things and make objects explode.
3. In one of the short stories the author has on her LJ (which I consider just as canon as the books okay...) it mentions that Jamie almost used his magic to push one of Mae's horrible boyfriends down the stairs, but stopped himself before he did. (And then Mae threw a jewellery box at the guy's head anyway, so.) So I headcanon that Jamie probably has a list of guys Mae's dated and how bad they were for her on a scale of one to ten, with helpful footnotes. JUST SO SOMEONE IS KEEPING TRACK, OKAY. One day he will tape it to her bedroom door. Out of love.
And uh because the movie thing is a pretty lame piece of headcanon, 4. Jamie is canonly a football nut! And his dad used to take him to football games until he came out, and then his dad uh... never took him to a football game again because his dad is KIND OF A MASSIVE DOUCHE. So I imagine that Jamie went to a couple of games on his own and then felt like a supreme loser because not even his own dad wants to take him to a game, so ever since then he has only ever watched games on TV and now does not own any football-related shirts/merchandise/anything. BUT HE'S STILL A LIVERPOOL NUT, and if anyone ever lmao offered to take him to a football game (other than Mae because he knows she is not actually interested in it :|b) he would probably CONSIDER THEM A GREAT FRIEND FOREVER. Just on that offer alone. Jamie is special that way.
OKAY UHHH if you could have Ginny be in a romantic relationship with any character from any canon, WHO WOULD YOU PICK.

Okay, so this was a really difficult question to figure out, and I think I'll always change my mind about who I pick and why. But every time I pair up a character from other canons, the type seems to run in the same direction: that mildly snarky, brooding, serious guy with bursts of good humour that actually make her laugh. Which is hilarious because... those are qualities found in one Harry Potter around the time of OotP (YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAND I AM FULL OF TEENAGE RAAAAEG).
But the trait she tends to look for in a potential boyfriend is the ability to give as good as he gets, because Ginny needs an equal. On the one hand, she can have someone who is as stubborn as she is and helps ground her (Peter Pevensie would be a good example of that sort of boyfriend) at the same time; on the other, she can have someone who fights fire with fire and theirs would be the sort of relationship that flares bright, and hot, and fierce - but brief, and it would end with some massive fight and then they'd go back to being friends after a cold spell. Aka the difference is the former is good for long term and the latter is good for a fling. >____>
I... cannot really think of specific characters off the top of my head, sob. But just going by the guy friends she's had in the City? I mentioned Peter Pevensie already (let's call that ship Weavensie); but in the snarky broody camp, there's Amory, I guess! (Clearly the Blue Light has got it going on.) And Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet. For flying shenanigans.
IDK LET'S GO WITH PERCY JACKSON BECAUSE HE IS BASICALLY HARRY POTTER. /cheats forever aaaand... hmmm. Question for you: Jamie is magically at Hogwarts and has to get Sorted - which House does he end up in and why? |D

HAHAHA Percy, I love Percy Jackson.
... uuuuuuummmm. Jamie has Gryffindor qualities, but ultimately I think he would be more likely to end up in Hufflepuff, since he hates fighting and would just like it if everybody could sort out their differences over a cup of tea. Jamie is basically the Nice One of the cast of TDL, and while he can be brave, I think his general niceness and loyalty to family and friends are what win there. Also he would never be in Ravenclaw because LOL SCHOOLWORK SHOULD BE OPTIONAL (in his mind anyway) and uh Slytherin is most likely full of terrifying and psychotic people, please don't send him there. (Nick would totally be Slytherin, I bet.)
ON A SLIGHTLY RELATED NOTE, Jamie would absolutely love Hogwarts, omg. A SCHOOL OF MAGIC!!!
If Ginny were a teacher at Hogwarts, what class/es would she take and if she were Head of House somehow, what would happen? C:
/uses pink-haired Jamie icon sob
