H.M.S. Harmony - Of Ship Names and VOMIT

Jul 09, 2005 08:25

Warning: Long shipping and fandom-related rant ahead-because I’m such a slave to canon. Beware. I vent and poke fun at OBHWF quite mercilessly, so if you don’t want to hear me raging about the ridiculousness of Pumpkin Pie and OBHWF, please turn away.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. :P

I hate the term pumpkin pie. I really do. I had originally used much stronger words in my above rant, but I toned it down for the sake of, well, approximate civility. My annoyance is that great.

And heck yeah! The scene in which Ron looks hopefully up at Moody, waiting for the same compliment bestowed upon Harry and Hermione, perfectly summarizes the trio. Harry and Hermione are at a level above everyone else; the aurors are elite. And then you have Ron, the personification of lazy mediocrity, wanting to get the same accolades as his friends but obviously falling short of them.

That scene practically represents the ship wars! Harmonians supporting the H/Hr auror side, and Herons pushing Ron's undeserving, mediocre character to be something he's obviously not.

Blech.

I'm glad you like the other ship names. I'm thinking of iconizing them myself. *grins* It's just so easy to make those up while staying within the bounds of canon. It's ridiculous. We don't have to make up crap like Cowering!Hermione, Abusive!Harry, Hero!Ron and Heroine!Ginny. Wish the OBHWFers would see that, but alas, they are blinded.
