this love will be your downfall

People started getting welcome e-mails from Pottermore. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. WHERE THE FUCK IS MINE? I swear to god, I registered literally 2 minutes after it opened on the first day. Now that I'm seeing screen caps, I'm forgetting about my initital calmness and starting to PANIC ( Read more... )

pottermore, poll, harry potter

I can't wait!!! I want, I want, I want!

I really hope I get into Hufflepuff, too. Although I'd be happy with Ravenclaw as well.

Waiting is definitely the hardest part. I'm thinking of infinite possibilities for how my e-mail might never come. AHG.
I spent so much money on my Ravenclaw junk that I won't be too off-put if I am indeed a strong Ravenclaw, but I dunno. We shall see! It would totally blow my mind if I was a Slytherin.

Waiting is so hard! Especially at this point in time, when I have only two weeks left of this low-key summer, and I'm bored out of my mind. My part time job got cancelled again today because of rain, and I'm twiddling my thumbs and trying to amuse myself by obsessively cleaning my kitchen! Once I start school again, I'll be so busy I will barely have time to go online, so I really, really want the email before then.

I can't see either of us being put in Slytherin. That would really stun me. I'd be surprised to end up in Gryffindor, but it could happen. I'm a Leo, and I do have some fiery traits, but they are buried deeply. I think it's interesting that Slytherin is meant to correspond to water, because I do identify with the emotional qualities of the water element, but I don't really see that in any descriptions of Slytherin.

Why can't I know you IRL? We could totally have a Pre-Pottermore party and twiddle our thumbs together.

I can definitely identify some Gryff traits in me, but it would be pretty surprising if that's where I end up.
And it's exactly the same thing for the Slytherin, too. I'm always a mash up between earth and water, but lately, water has been a lot stronger. I doubt that will be enough to sway me in to it, though.

I'M SO PISSED OFF AS WELL. I also got in on the first day and apparently some people that got in on the fourth have received welcome emails? WTF POTTERMORE. YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR AT ALL. /DUDLEYTANTRUM

faery August 16 2011, 04:16:51 UTC

WHY? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? I went to work with three hours of sleep because I wanted to be in ASAP. ;_;
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

man I do not even know what this pottermore business is

However, dogs! :D <3

Also, I have never heard of No. 6. I figure if you like it, it can't be as atrocious as most anime, right?

faery August 16 2011, 04:22:18 UTC

It's every Potterheads dream. It's like the magical Hogwarts letter years late...it's going to destroy my soul. Or make it infinitely better. We'll see.

I'm fed up with anime, and have been for years. The cliches in every anime just really, really bothers me and I can't get past them. I only tried it because a bunch of people on SFD_A were freaking out over it, and they're generally a bunch of very smart ladies.
But if you generally hate anime, no way I'd recommend it. It's crawling with cliches and some really cheesy moments, but the BL fangirl in me likes it. It's nice to sit back and eat chips and watch once a week. And the plot does have a lot of potential. WE SHALL SEE.

serious_mccoy August 16 2011, 04:30:48 UTC

I don't hate all anime... I just consider myself a "recovered weeaboo." Some of the cliches I can stomach in small doses. And I am definitely also a fan of gay fiction- not necessarily BL and yaoi cliches, but I maaaay be able to deal with it if the rest has potential. Hmm!

faery August 16 2011, 04:45:17 UTC

I'm really hoping the ending has some kind of awful twist so it's not just romance-and-happily-ever-after. It's a BL that actually has a pretty good plot so far...but the cliches. Ahg. I spent too much time on anime when I was younger I can pick them all out within seconds and it really hinders my enjoyment. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but anime was such a huge part of my life and sometimes I miss it.
But I swear, if the female character in it ends up being some maddened-by-love-omg-ilu-but-you-love-him-so-i-must-kill-everyone cliche, I'm not watching it anymore.

I'm definitely a recovering weeaboo, too.

lirel August 16 2011, 01:11:11 UTC

I think the emails are completely random. I was hoping for slytherin, but after keeping up with the pottermore tag on tumblr... I can honestly say I do not care anymore. I will be proud whatever house I get sorted into, and I can just sign up again in october and try to get into slytherin. B|

faery August 16 2011, 04:24:14 UTC

I know. ;_; Which makes me even more anxious because that might mean I have to wait for weeks. I am so impatient. THIS IS KILLING ME.
I will be happy with any house, too. I'd be really surprised if I'm in Slytherin, but I will also embrace it with open arms and excitement. I like surprises!

ranalinde August 16 2011, 02:13:20 UTC

No. 6~! :DDD I love that anime so far <3 (though I'm just a bit worried they won't be able to fit all the story into just 11 episodes D:) ...and wow, you haven't seen any anime in that long? :O What other series do you like? :)

faery August 16 2011, 04:32:24 UTC

I've seen amine, but I haven't liked an anime in ages. I've been trying to re-watch some of my old childhood shows, and other than Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura, I can hardly handle them. Gundam Wing has me laughing nonstop. It's just so, so bad.

I can honestly say there are not many series I like nowadaws. :/ I have a hard time getting past the never-ending cliches and sexism. I can enjoy them solely as after-work lazyness when I want to watch something that I'm not too invested in. The last one I quite enjoyed was Princess Jellyfish, but I haven't finished it yet, so I don't even know if I'll continue liking it. Some part of me wants to like anime again, and some other part of me can't stop being so critical. I've always liked manga way better, anyways.

ranalinde August 16 2011, 05:16:32 UTC

Ah I see. CCS is just awesome, I agree. <3 (though I actually didn't watch it in my childhood and saw it much later xD) Sailor Moon was the series that pretty much took over most of my childhood xDDD I still remember all those embarrassingly cheesy little stories I wrote based on the series when I was still a kindergartener/early elementary kid. xD;;; As for Gundam Wing, despite its popularity, I actually haven't seen it yet (...and to be honest, don't really have much desire to do so ( ... )

faery August 16 2011, 18:10:03 UTC

I like pretty much anything CLAMP has done. Those ladies know what they're doing! And yes, SM WAS my early childhood before Harry Potter took over.
Don't watch Gundam Wing. xD Seriously. It's so painfully bad. My sister and I were obsessed with it when we were younger, but we've been watching it and laughing our asses off. And not because it's funny on purpose. I can't believe it!

The thing I do like about anime is the voice acting. Always have, but I've fallen out of beat with seiyuu. I used to know all the popular ones, but there is not so many new ones and I can't really be bothered to learn about them like I did when I was in high school.

And thanks for the link! Maybe I'll check some of them out. I like sci-fi/supernatural elements and philosophical/spiritual themes, too. :D
