What happens when Arthur Weasley goes to visit a Muggle store... (fic)

Nov 09, 2010 23:54

As part of my attempt to stay active and my newfound urge to write, here you go. It's probably really dumb, but I was jotting it down while nobody was in the store today.
Word count: 416

( Harry Potter + my bored brain + free time at work = ??? )

fun story, harry potter, fanfic, work

I LOVE THAT SELF-CLEANING OVENS ARE MAGICAL OBJECTS.

Mr. Weasley is amazing. Even if he loves us but doesn't know much about us. I kinda wonder if he's intentionally embarrassing Ron, here.

No idea. xDD
My intention was really to get the flow of speech for someone who could babble on and on.. and Arthur Weasley's adorable ignorance of Muggle artifacts popped into my head. <3

maridee42 November 10 2010, 20:38:19 UTC

It's adorable because he's fascinated by us but he knows so little about us. XD

You've definitely got the babble down pat, though. It's very smooth.

Yay! So glad to hear it. :)

I figure if I can get that done, maybe just maybe I'll be able to work out how the Doctor talks. :)

maridee42 November 10 2010, 23:43:39 UTC

OOO, that'll be fun.

Honestly? Just get a specific voice into your head - whichever Doctor you want to write about - and then just write things the way he'd see them. No babble's quite alike, after all.

shinydinosaur November 10 2010, 23:46:21 UTC

Well no, I don't mean to use the same kind of babbling.. but it IS babble, after all. If I can make it flow with the grammar and all, and it sounds right to me, I've got the Doctor's voice in my head already, but it's not quite strong yet.

It's what I do when I RP as Wash or Giles for Mafia games.. they implant themselves into my head and then I'm able to really be them.

maridee42 November 11 2010, 01:02:27 UTC

I know what you mean. That was my problem with Kim last Mafia and Ilana the Mafia before Whebrams that I was able to play. I couldn't quite get their voices: Kim because I didn't watch KP enough, and Ilana because she barely even had a voice in Lost at all. I'm Rorschach this round, which should be interesting as he has a very distinctive voice.

LOL, talking about voices in our heads makes me feel schizophrenic.

shinydinosaur November 11 2010, 04:57:15 UTC

Psh. If that classifies someone as schizophrenic then you could've signed me up back in lower school when I had Kovu's voice from Lion King II in my head, and my friends and I would practically act some of it out on the playground.

maridee42 November 11 2010, 13:30:22 UTC

OOO, OOO, you did that too? Except me and my friends would act out Indians, or bring Polly Pockets to school, and I would mistake their underwear for swimwear.

...I didn't actually own any Polly Pockets.

I had an entire Indian alternate ego in my head when I was around, like... seven?
Then I grew up... and added an elf. xD

maridee42 November 11 2010, 15:29:09 UTC

I had a bunch of people I used to pretend to be, when I wasn't reading. I'd be a mermaid in my grandma's pool, or an Indian at the park, or a character from whatever book I was reading. There was a dryad in our honeysuckle bush. XD

shinydinosaur November 11 2010, 15:35:02 UTC

Yessssss :D
