Home again. Tired. Happy. Love to you.

PS: how do I get rid of those annoying snap bubbles? x_x

PPS: dear JKR, you're not the first writer who put a homosexual character in a fantasy novel, although you're the first one who seems so proud of annuncing the fact out of the novel itself. Memo: we're not in the nineties anymore.

Two ways of getting rid of the Snap bubbles. You can also turn them off in the Snap window itself, but that only works as long as you don't clear the browser's cookies.

Glad you're back!

Oh, thanks!

Hi there! It's nice to see you back. I hope you had a great time.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I did! ^_^

[solesakuma]

So how was Spain?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Fucking awesome.

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

WB. and LOL at point #3

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

thanks and heh ^^

[metzhead.livejournal.com]

yeah I read that and was like WTF? why not leave a little mystery in your writing.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I was raving against the mystery when she was telling us about Luna's future profession and husband (and contradiction herself too!), the gayness though it's more... wow, if it was important to you to have a homosexual character (which is a worthy thing to do when one writes about so many characters and most of 'em marry their childhood sweethearts), why didn't you tell us in the text? It woud have been so much more positive that way and less like an afterthought ("oh by the way, Dumbledore doesn't find love because he's GAY, and Grindelwald was the big love of his life, and then they couldn't be happy because of his naziness so Dumbledore got him in prison for the rest of his life, yay!" WTF)

don't even get my started on the laziness of that whole episode. gods, I....AUGH!

[after-nightfall.livejournal.com]

LMAO for poor Dumbles. :-p I'm utterly meh about the whole business, and am still pretending the epilogue doesn't exist.
And welcome back, of course!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Epilogue? What epilogue? :p

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

I dunno, but I am pretty sure it broke my brain.

Perhaps JKR didn't include Dumbledore's love for Grindelwald in the books because it contradicted her "power of love" premise? Voldemort is presented as inherently evil because his mother didn't even care enough to live after giving birth to him. Love is supposed to be a force of Good, ex: Lily's love for Harry, Snape's love for Lily, even Narcissa's love for Draco. That Grindelwald would embark on his evil schemes even after having the love of a man like Dumbledore gives lie to the "power of love."

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

That's definitly an interesting point. Which is also why it's not as positive as it could have been : the one love that failed to save was the gay one... great.

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

Mmm. But she's the first author of such a widely read, mainstream "children's" book to do so. I think it's an absolutely fantastic thing. HP is much more than a fantasy novel, it's a cultural phenomenon all over the world that transcends genre and age divisions.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I guess, but it would have been so much better if it'd been in the text. Like that, it does feel half assed. Points for trying but to me it feels like too little too late, you know?

[azure-empress.livejournal.com]

Nah. It is not too late.

Think of the zillion-billion fanfics which just got vindicated and the gadzillion more it will spawn. ^^

*ducks*

And good to see you back, I hope you had a wonderful trip.

*is forgiven?*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

oh, the ship was already popular, I'm not sure it'll make a change (and of course, I don't even like this ship ^^)

Did! But I'm glad to be back all the same ^_^

*forgiving what?*

[azure-empress.livejournal.com]

Good to hear. You deserved it. I hope you feel up to some everyday life again.

Oh, just the ever so slight snipe at fanfics. ^^
I guess it is a first for a writer to officially endorse an entire family of fanfics.
