Don't Mind Me, I'm Just Slightly Evil (You're All Very Lucky)

Jul 21, 2007 17:16

Well, I promised Naiad a post after I met her in person at the Harry Potter movie...a week ago. *shifty eyes* Eheh... What's worse is that it was in response to her saying I very rarely posted, but when I did it was long diatribes about shoes! Well, I suck at that posting thing even when I say that I'm going to do it, it appears. I apologize! ( Read more... )

You know, I was getting all ready to post a rant about how people who do that are the lowest of the low. It seems like there are four distinct camps: Rabid Fans, People Who Sneer At Rabid Fans, ASSHOLE SPOILERS and Interested Observers. I fall into the latter. I am (honestly) upset to find that you apparently are an asshole spoiler. Why would you do that? It's not funny. It's not clever. It's asinine, cruel, and one of the ultimate ways to be a party pooper.

You lose points for that. I'm serious. And not just because it's Harry Potter, because I'm not really all that invested in the series. I'd be just as angry if you'd done it with the Matrix. How would you feel if you found out who died at the end of that movie before you'd seen it (and if the symbolism wasn't choking you death)? Not. Cool.

Most appropriate use of icon EVER!

Thank you. I rather thought a smack to the head seemed called for.

*rolls eyes* You, my dear, take me faaaar too seriously! Really, you should know better. Both of you! Have I ever actually done anything like that?

Jesus people! Lighten up! It's a twisted little 'muahaha' perverse fantasy! ('perverse' in the Edgar Allen Poe sense of the term) Something you think in your head, mention as an evil scenario maybe, and cackle over. In this case, it's pretty impossible to do because it requires stealing a book (or my dad stealing it) and actually managing to read it fast enough to get to said part (I don't read fast and you know there's no way I'd luck of the draw turn to that page, especially not knowing the series hardly at all except from the movies). The logistics don't work for it to be an actual plan.

Cripes! I get crucified for just saying it!

You sounded fairly serious. What's more, you'd only need to flip towards the back to get an idea of what happens. You know the characters well enough through the movies to know what's important.

But really, it's just the fact that you claim you'd take glee in ruining it for anyone on your friends list that irks me. I get that HP isn't your thing. That's totally fine. But to mess up the very end of it for people who've been following the books for ELEVEN YEARS, and to ENJOY IT is just really, really low. It's a scenario that isn't even funny in a joking context, like, I dunno, shooting puppies or selling babies on the black market.

...I did once play a little netgame where you shot kittens instead of those discs. It was amusing for a little bit. Amusing in that OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL IT IS SO WRONG kind of way. It's not like shooting real kittens, so a line of fiction can be drawn. In my opinion, that would only have been really sick and twisted of me if I'd continued playing it beyond the novelty stage, which was like twelve minutes a day for a week max.

If there was a point there other than to refer to your last line, it is probably that the line of fiction applies here. When it comes right down to it, and it wouldn't come right down to it because it wouldn't go that far, you know I wouldn't even be able to concieve of really doing it. (For reference, that is concieving up there, but not of really doing it.) Or, you should know. Otherwise, I need to work on your faith in me by not doing stuff like that some more! Hell, if you want to get technical, if you actually don't have that much faith in me, then you at least know me well enough ( ... )

I remember that kitten thing. You showed it to me in the early days of our relationship (freshman year) and I didn't like it then, either. I don't have a very morbid sense of humor.

You did seem serious (or at least serious in the amusement you would take from that), and you're not into HP enough to really care about how it ends or for spoiling yourself. Or at least that's how it seems, listening to you talk about it.

I think this is a case of one person saying "Wouldn't it be funny if-" and the other person staring at them in disgust and saying "No. No it wouldn't."

I will eventually be now that the seventh book is finally out and I can read it all bookend to bookend. Well, assuming it is as good as the world says it is, and I generally trust the world. I haven't heard a single bad thing about it from anybody. I do derive amusement in thinking about it, but I am by no means mean enough to actually do it. Similar difference between thinking you want to kill somebody you hate and actually doing it. In the first case, you are fairly normal as I'm sure most people have at one time or another thought that about somebody at least in passing; in the second case you are psychopathic and need professional help and to be put behind bars. Or both. Perhaps executed, depending ( ... )
