You are GOLD and SILVER-ER-ER

* It's raining, with very bright lightning and very loud thunder. I like rainy afternoons when I don't have to leave or do anything, but I admit that rain makes me kind of nervous around here. I used to love rain. I spent my childhood LITERALLY praying for rain. In church. Now it will always be a little unsettling

I also like the rain.

I chose Harry Potter AND Transformers--even though I'm not sure what Transformers is--because the apocalypse, like a little black dress, goes with EVERYTHING evar.

Transformers was popular when I was a kid, but I was never really into it. There are robot superheroes . . . or something. There's a new movie coming out, but I'm not actually that familiar with the premise. I was just having a conversation with a friend about things that have potential for apocalypse and somehow this became the debate. *g*

Oh, now I remember. Dimly. Transformers sounds like it would have awesome crossover potential with the Matrix, what with the machines/aliens taking over the world and using humans as an energy source in what looks like a post-apocalyptic scenario.

And anyway, giant fighting robots is a good, solid way to break the world.

But Harry Potter's got the classic soulless (literally!) megalomaniac evil overlord going on with the genocidal overtones. That's not even mentioning how HP fandom has probably come up with a good body of scenarios to break the world.

See, my vote was actually for HP, especially once my friend said that the transformers-type apocalype would actually destroy the world past the point where it would be possible for there to be any post-apocalyptic world. But I am not familiar enough with transformers-'verse to know if this is valid or not. Why HP and Transformers? I DO NOT KNOW.

Sometimes my friends and I have really, really weird conversations.

See, a conversation about what would have the best potential for an apocalypse doesn't strike me as all that weird, but one where the participants aren't sure how destructive the apocalypse in one world would be? That is weird to me.

[redbrickrose]

Heh. Well, the other people involved were familiar with both canons. They both apparently have potential for apocalypse, but if the world actually blows up as I have been told is the more likely type of Transformers apocalypse, then there is nothing left to be post-apocalyptic. Or something. I mean, it's an exersize in fannish bizarrness more than anything, because what? It is not something that can be determined except through geek banter. But it made sense at the time.

[parallactic]

Oh, that makes sense now. Weird conversations like that are a lot of fun to have.
