I'm hoping you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head.

A short love letter to the Inception fandom -

No, I love you more! Oh stop it! No really, I can't handle you guys. I love every one of you. I want to take you on massive group dates where we steal French art and buy expensive suits. I love that the movie's been out for a little over a week now and fandom is already going strong. I love that for some reason (which I may have forgotten since I've only seen the movie once) fandom has made Arthur a Francophile and I love that Eames reminds me of Remy LeBeau. I haven't fallen for something this hard since...well, the last time I fell for something this hard, but I promise you it was at least a month ago. Right now I honestly feel like I did when I dropped into bandom. I feel like all I do is pine to see the movie again and write fic in my head that I tragically have no time to write in real life. I love how this fandom gives me an excuse to read up on mind studies and look into philosophers I'd been putting off on the off chance they have something to say that I could work into a fic. I love how I have plot bunnies about talking to your subconscious and they aren't out of place or strange like they would be in some of my other homes. Fandom, I love you for referencing fucking Magritte.

I want to friend you all except I don't know how to without being awkward and stalky. So instead I'll just lurk about in your dark corners. I'll watch over your boys.

(No really, someone come talk to me about this before Em defriends me in real life. I'm so glad ninepointfivemm has also fallen for it and that she randomly IMs and texts me as the Eames to my Arthur.)




HP MEME Day 3 Favorite female character.

I may surprise some of you by saying Tonks, since you probably know that I'm an ardent supporter of the unicorns who killed her. The thing is, Tonks is an awesome character. She's a girl who can handle herself. She's clumsy and impulsive, but she's also smart and brave and courageous. Tonks is everything I want to be in a woman. And then she fell in love with Remus. Though I hesitate to call it love. Infatuation maybe, which probably isn't fair of me. I promise this doesn't even have to do with me being a puppy shipper. It's because I was such a big fan of Tonks that I hated her after she fell for Remus. She grew weak. She stopped caring about all of the amazing things around her. The life just left her, and that, for someone who had been so full of life, is tragic. But I suppose in the HP universe it's just one tragedy drop in the huge tragedy bucket. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it, though.


I'll fly away.

I'm going to visit Boy for the weekend and not taking my laptop! Send me an e-mail or comment if there's an Inception friending meme or if MCR actually releases music or something. Above all, have a good weekend, guys.

I remain convinced that Tonks was under the influence of a spell or potion or something (JKR made a big deal about Amortentia in that book, with no obvious payoff). Her change in personality was too whiplashy. And I believe Remus knew it, which is why he stuck with her, to protect her as best he could.

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I can go with that, though I don't know what the purpose of a spell that did that would have been. I'm sure you've thought about it. ;) I do really like the idea that Remus stood by her to protect her. I still need someone to explain the baby to me. I feel like Sirius is somewhere in the afterlife chuckling and going 'Remus, you old dog'.

*cracks knuckles*

Tonks was an extremely capable Auror, and her metamorphmagic power made her even more dangerous. By putting her under the influence of the potion/spell, you can see that she basically lost all effectiveness. The Order lost a valuable asset -- two, in a way, if you consider all the effort Remus had to go to to try and put her off for a year.

And the fact is Remus was already grieving, and I think Hermione wasn't totally off-base when she theorized that Tonks was also grieving Sirius and feeling at fault for his death. Tonks's infatuation might have been magically enhanced, but her grief was real, and in the end Remus did care about her in some way, and they found comfort in each other. And maybe the spell/potion on Tonks neutralized any birth control spells (either that or Remus is SO GAY that he couldn't do them properly, LOL).


...there's also my pet crack theory that in HBP/DH, Tonks was Sirius. *bats eyelashes*

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I love that theory. I also love your crack theory, to no one's surprise. ♥

[sopdetly.livejournal.com]

It was my crack theory post-HBP, and I was THRILLED to realize that it still held up in DH, because we don't see Sirius's spirit until after "Tonks" is dead.

"Tonks" couldn't metamorph in HBP because Sirius was not used to the powers yet, he had to basically learn them.

"Tonks" got pregnant because by that point, Sirius could change back to his own face, and they sort of forgot that pregnancy was a possibility.

CANON, BITCHES.

It's hard for me to find fault in Tonks/Remus because of how much I love Teddy. ♥

I love the idea that maybe Tonks was under a spell, though. It honestly explains quite a lot.
