This is an unpopular opinion, I suspect, but I really really hate those posts that mock Harry for naming Albus Severus after Snape (and Dumbledore), and basically argue that Harry should have named his kid after Remus, Neville, Fred, etc. -- anyone but Snape. And yeah, I totally accept that argument if you're saying that Harry should have backed ( Read more... )

[I've posted this on Tumblr as well, but it got longer than I'd expected and DW/LJ is better suited for thinky posts and for meta in the comments ( Read more... )

I'm still offline, but next week is reading week and I wanted to give myself a short break from my self-imposed exile from fandom so I could post about Elementary. ♥this show♥ No spoilers!

Fraser does not wear it when he's out in street clothes, only when he's in uniform--just as he would only wear the lanyard or breeches or pistol holster with ( Read more... )

You know what I noticed just now? The Haustenberg painting, Young Girl With Locket, has the following dedication written on the back:
