People are absolutely crazy nuts mental when it comes to fandom and shipping. I'm glad I'm not one of them. Me - I'm only obsessed.

Absolutely brilliant! *g*

fandom, harry potter

I see. It 'chocked' me as soon as the pairing (at least when Harry's feelings started to change towards Ginny) showed up. That's why I find it too 'easy'.

Incest is gross indeed. And disgusting. Yuck.

I don't like Harry since a long time now. I find him annoying and arrogant. But I can understand why people like him. Maybe I'm too old (30) and that's why I'm more interested in the adult generation. After all, my age is closer to the Marauders' than to Harry and his friends'. Ginny is just adorable. ^^

R/T... Well, yes, we don't know what are their feeling before, maybe they were already dating in OotP, a thing we'll maybe never know. And I didn't say the relation was unrespectful in the sense Tonks was with Sirius or Dumbly before but... well... just the way it comes out. I mean... They just learn the death of a dear person !! I would have deeply chocked if someone had reacted this way after learning the death of my father last year. That's what disturbed me the most. If it had happened before that event or even after the funerals, ok, no problem... But there... Yes, Dumbly would have been happy about the love thing but still... I'm really disappointed at JKR with this. She badly sucks at writing romance. At least R/T don't start snogging... yet... >.<

And the pink hair... It's a FUNERAL !! She could have chosen another more discreet colour. There's not only pink to show happiness. Also... Am I the only one who noticed Remus' reluctance about all this ? And it's not only the 'furry little problem' thing. He is the only one who shows sense there, wanting to show his respects to Dumbly. At that moment, he is the only honorable person.

I totally agree about S/R. But it exists in our imagination, doesn't it ? ^^

I can accept Harry's arrogance as being youthful. Why? I was exactly the same at his age. But it actually has more to do with temper than wanting to show off. Or so it was with me.

And, yeah, you know some women, they're not very tactful when it comes to love. *g* But yes, I do agree that Remus showed his usual sensible self all throughout the book, in a way that no one else did. He kept his calm, didn't even break down like a baby when he heard Dumbledore was dead (like I suppose he could have). He was brave for all people around. I love him! *squee*

But about the pink hair, I wouldn't read too much into it. It was, after all, Tonks' 'real' hair colour, her trademark, like the red hair was the Weasleys'. Not maybe very funeral-ish, but you wouldn't be upset for Ginny or Ron having red hair during the funeral either. You would be a bit upset, yes, that Tonks who can change her hair colour at will would choose a more subdued shade, but I think the pink is too natural for her to realize it would be 'inappropriate'.

S/R <3 forever! *g*

I see that we agree on a lot of things. *huggles*

Oh yes. And the mention of Harry's loneliness annoys me to no end.

Yes, Remus was perfect, as always.

Mm... I'm not sure it said that Tonks' real hair colour is really pink so it's maybe why it chocked me (and I'm not the only one in this case). The Weasleys' redheads are fine for me as we know for sure it's their real, unfaked colour. I still think Tonks should have chosen something else, maybe just a darker pink. It wouldn't have mean it wasn't her. Anyway, she seems to be a little too much in her lalalalaworld for the circumstances... Or maybe it's me who is extremely sensitive when it comes to mourning things as I passed through many bereavements already. In fact, I'm still in mourning...

*nods nods* ^^

If you're interested, I'll tell you when my HBP post will be done. Do you mind if I mention some of the things we're talking here ?

Your HBP post will be most interesting, give me heads up when it's done. And yes, you may use our discussion as base for it.

Also, I didn't mean that pink is Tonks' "natural" natural hair colour, just the coulur that comes most naturally to her. But then we all have different way of coping through mourning periods, meaning no disrespect.
