2. Hey! :) Don't feel bad. My motivation to post things is non-existent right now, based on a lot of things, through my daydreaming is as creative as ever! :) Maybe a bit too much! :D
3. There are several tumblr blogs I follow, mostly Sailor Moon blogs, but quite frankly, the things I see on there are scary! I don't think I can ever sign up there. I could post the wrong thing and likely end up crushed emotionally. No way!
4. Yea! Congrats! :) Well, Congrats soon! :p
5. I think the closet I've seen to Shakespeare acted is through movies, so that sounds awesome to watch! Hamlet, however, was not my cup of tea. I don't get why, especially since my two favorite Shakespeare plays, MacBeth and Romeo and Juliet, have high death tolls as well. Too bad you couldn't enjoy it better. :(
2) *tackle-glomps* One of the reasons I had for coming back to lj, if probably sporadically, is because it's pretty much the one place I can find you. (I've got berenicepotter on facebook, and I think seatapp has migrated towards twitter, which I am way too wordy for. And while I have other important online friends, you three are to me my absolute online bffs
( ... )
2. Yes, I miss everyone! My friends list is so empty, minus groups and even they don't update as much! I don't really venture out anywhere else nowadays. Kinda wish there was a place where all of us were get together online. :(
3. Funny, everyone wants to protect me. My siblings, my best friend offline, you. Honestly, I find it amusing, especially since I'm older than all of you! :p But, no, I will never sign up there, promise. Never ever! :p
4. I think I can understand that feeling. I remember being so scared about going to college by myself without any member of my family coming with me. Of course, in the end, I was all right, even if things didn't turn out exactly the way I originally imagined it (or how I'm still imagining it). And I don't think it's over the top at all! It's what you want to do. Even if things don't turn out the way you want, I think it'll work out for you. :)
5. Really? That sounds cool! Is this it? I searched for it! Shakespeare Comics6. I love walking around. Half the time, that's
( ... )
2. I don't know... I've avoided skype for the most part, due to the video calls, phone numbers and the fact that I've never like messaging. :( Prefer message boards and blogs, for the most part. If it had a message board feature or even something similar to LJ, I think I would have signed up long ago. I know lots of people have used it to communicate.
3. Thanks! :) So glad I have my protectors. :)
5. Ah, rats. Gotta keep looking.
8. That could work. Oh, oh! Better idea! Eight is Queen of the Random Stuff! XD
2) Can I bug you about all t he pairings that get compared to the "wrong" ones? Like, Johnlock is giving me so many Harmony feels but everyone keeps comparing them to RHr. I need someone who understands and doesn't go "but RHr obvious narrative so obvious superior and always positive comparison".
2. Sure! :) Go right ahead! Actually, I just thought of something. I've found a HP pairing that I really like, but half the time, I encounter it coupled with H/G and R/Hr. And it's driving me nuts! (I can never find fanfic to my satisfaction!). I want to hear a H/Hr take on this pairing.
2) Like Johnlock, especially in Sherlock, has so many parallels that it's absolutely nuts. Like yes, there's jealousy, and yes they have fights and UST. But they need each other so badly, they're constantly mistaken for being a couple, especially by people that are into them. One has a scar and a hero complex, the other has brains and their heart is in the right place but people only see the ruthlessness. Like both Sherlock and Hermione has that very brusque manner. They're constantly saving each other, and their touches are so charged. There's a lot of subtextual support with lots of symbolism. I'm basically back in pre-HBP Harmony hell, except now it's 100 % gay hell
( ... )
Hmm, it sounds like H/Hr with R/Hr fighting mixed in with it. Without seeing it, I don't think I can be certain, but that's what it sounds like. I guess when people see characters fighting, it's automatically R/Hr to them. I see that a lot (very annoying, too). I like to look at the whole pairing, see the personalities of the characters and, if the fighting is helpful, then it's okay. Sometimes, fighting can be good for a couple if it's done right. Of course, it wasn't done right in R/Hr, that was a gimmick for them, I guess, icing, not the cake. Rowling had them fight for the sake of fighting instead of turning those fights into character-driven moments and allowing R/Hr to grow from them. But maybe that's what has put off H/Hr shippers if they're going to Sherlock/Molly? They see the fighting and see R/Hr. Because Molly does sound like Ginny in the way you've described it
( ... )
The fighting is very character driving and is a whole lot about moral values as well as some times being based in insecurities. (The Great Game starts with Sherlock feeling insulted by John's blog, which is a bit heartbreaking since John wrote in it to compliment him. But then they have a fight where the basic disagreement is if caring about the lives at stake is an advantage or not. And a lot of the insecurity is based on Sherlock thinking that John likes him only for his brains, and he's always hiding his heart.) It is possible I'm biased, but Molly even does the whole clamming up and embarrassing herself in the beginning, so. And Sherlock barely acknowledges her at first so, yes
( ... )
Hmm, well, that definitely doesn't sound like R/Hr. Their fighting was mostly insulting each other and their personalities clashing. Ron had lots of insecurities, but his fighting with Hermione was hardly based around those. And Hermione insulted because she took offense to what Ron said! And yeah, Molly does sound like Ginny, especially in the barely acknowledgment
( ... )
Like, on the surface, I could see why Molly and Felicity are confused for Hermione-type characters, because they do help the hero with the plot, and they are intelligent in their own right. But Hermione is not the kind of character to help with the plot and then go back in the shadows, and she never once put Harry on pedestal per say. Like, she did obviously value him above Ron, and she held him to standards, but these expectations were based on knowing Harry, not knowing about Harry
( ... )
Still think that sounds like Ginny. She did a few things to help with the plot (well, sort of…nothing like Hermione did, of course). I’m guessing what Molly and Felicity did is much more like what Hermione did, instead of Ginny’s contribution, but still…helping out with the plot and fading to the background is more of a Ginny character instead of a Hermione character
( ... )
If you're up for it, I know some new SW stuff that might be interesting: New comics that bridge ANH with ESB and that is supposed to align with the new canon SW Rebels, an all-CGI cartoon that follows a rag tag group fighting against the Empire (before ANH) and very slowly introducing the bigger rebellion (has some canon connections with the Clone Wars cartoon if that is knowledge of interest)

3) That's because you are a precious cinnamon roll! ♥
5) Nope, but pretty. The ones I remember had the characters repeated across the background, like actors moving around on a stage, sorta feel.
8) I'd like to think of it as being its own Random Stuff.
