It Seems Some People Didn't Take It Seriously.

A number of disconnected things today (she says, as if that's unusual). Firstly, I recently began re-reading the Harry Potter series in preparation for the release of Book Seven, and I suddenly realised, in a bizarre sort of flashback, that, back when I was ten or eleven years old, the first non-canonical pairing I ever picked up on subtext for -

Speaking of hilarious and intelligent comics - OBVIOUSLY you read Dinosaur Comics, right? RIGHT?

[rionaleonhart]

...

...Um. No.

Is this a huge void in my life that needs to be filled?

[treelines]

YES.

GO FILL IT. NOW.

Hey, I've friended you if that's ok?

I used to be all proud of myself for realising Batman and Robin were gay for each other by about the age of nine, but that's just because I had eyes. You, on the other hand, were obviously some sort of crack-pairing prodigy. Which, you know, well done.

[rionaleonhart]

Absolutely! I just went to your journal, scrolled down a bit, encountered a ghostly octopus and decided that I obviously had to friend you back immediately. Hello!

I had completely forgotten about it, so I had no idea until just now that I'd got into utter crackpairings so early. I'm not sure whether to be proud of myself or weep.

Hagrid/Hermione....well ok i kinda thought about that after the second book but yeah it does seem a bit strange now..the things my minds came up with and as for those videos. LMAO they were funny I saw the orange one when i went to see POTC3 and all my friends were looking at mee because i found it way to funny...*looks up* ok i rambled on a bit there i will shut up now *goes back under rock*

[rionaleonhart]

No, don't go back under the rock! I'm much too thrilled to find that I'm not the only person who seriously thought about Hagrid/Hermione.

The Orange trailers are wonderful. They're half the reason I go to the cinema, really.

[haylz4000]

*comes back from under rock* ok i won't go :D.
same with me for both the hagrid/hermione thing and the orange trailers :P but it quite funny when i went to see POTC3 as well because someones phone went off and then the advert came on..it doesn't sound that funny does it. well it was at the time XD

Hang on, Heineken, you make those commercials for other countries but not for us?! If I liked beer, I would boycot you!

Also, I think that while it is very shocking and not exactly the moral thing to do, I hope that it does make people think about becoming a donor, and at least this show brings in the open that the people on those waiting lists are THERE and they need donors to survive.

I can't remember what my very first pairing was (though have severe doubts that it was even half as disturbing as yours), but occasionally I watch things I liked as a kid and realise I was sort of mentally slashing the characters. I can't think of a good example right now, except perhaps for Steel/Silver in everybody's favourite obscure late-seventies sci-fi show, Sapphire and Steel. What can I say? We were clearly all very odd children.

In other news, xkcd is consistently adorable, but I don't think anything will ever top my love of Achewood. "YOU...ARE...RAD."
