my name is draco malfoy. i'm a racist.  
I. I watched A Very Potter Sequel yesterday. TBH I didn't like it much. A lot of the running jokes were awkward, the whole Umbridge thing was really bizarre and felt like a waste of Joe Walker, and in general it was pretty "meh". I liked some things -- like Draco introducing himself lirl lirl -- and I liked Rita Skeeter, but in general it was pretty lame. I expected it to be lame, so I wasn't really surprised, but still.

II. Day 21 – Your Doctor Who OTP



SHOCKING, I know. Also A+ use of “OTP”, meme.

I am not generally much of a shipper, so how I ended up shipping Doctor/Rose so hard still baffles me. I did not even figure it out until I watched Doomsday and spent the last five minutes going “AGHHH JUST SAY IT ALREADY” and then perked up every time Rose got mentioned in series 3.

I say I ship Doctor/Rose but have all sorts of elaborate stipulations about that which really boil down to Cloen/Rose > Ten/Rose > Nine/Rose. And I don’t ship Eleven/Rose or any pre-Nine Doctors with Rose for a variety of reasons so I guess I am pretty particular. Naturally when picking something to ship I would wind up picking the only thing that has ship-wars within itself.

Lol at the internal ship wars. I lived a relatively wank-free existence in Harry Potter and have never felt quite so strongly about a pairing as D/R. SO IT WOULD BE A PAIRING WITH MULTIPLE SHIP WARS.

W/E FANDOM, CLOEN/ROSE IS AWESOME AND THE DOCTOR TOTALLY LOVED HER ALL ALONG.

I tried watching the first HP musical one and couldn't get past the first song.
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 1st, 2010 07:38 pm (UTC)
lol It took me a couple scenes to get into the first HP musical. Now I quite enjoy it and find a lot of the songs catchy. The second one though, not so much.
MV: gators gonna gaitmrv3000 on August 2nd, 2010 03:38 am (UTC)
I tried it again and was pretty amused, although I did skip around (wasn't terribly interested in the songs, and Umbridge wasn't all that funny.) Ron was the best in the first one, and Lupin made me laugh out loud so many times in the second one. :D

(And my inner twelve-year-old laughed way too much at SNAKE ON THE WIENER.)
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 2nd, 2010 03:43 am (UTC)
Lupin had some pretty good parts. I particularly enjoyed the "your dad's best friend" joke, though it might've been just because it reminded me of HIMYM.

Ron is pretty much the best, yeah. I like Draco too, in the first one (though the diaper plotline in the second was dumb).
MVmrv3000 on August 2nd, 2010 03:53 am (UTC)
Yeah, the plot fell pretty flat in the second one, but I think I laughed out loud more, mainly because Lupin was in it.

OPPRESSINGGGGG



DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE I HAVE NOW THOROUGHLY INVALIDATED AMY/RORY AND MICKEY/MARTHA

MAYBE EVEN JIM/PAM AND RON/HERMIONE BECAUSE DOCTOR/ROSE HAS THAT KIND OF PAN-FANDOM OPPRESSION POWER

I CAN FEEL MY ABILITY TO SHIP THINGS SLOWLY SINKING AWAY AND IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT

My internet has decided to be annoying about uploading gifs, so I suppose that you win this round.
10imd: hp: avps cupboardmuneca_brava on August 1st, 2010 09:30 pm (UTC)
I fastforwarded through most of the Umbridge scenes, tbh. It was way too longwinded but I did enjoy some bits quite a lot - I thought the Snape's Worst Memory scene was really nice, and the beginning was pretty good as well. And Lucius Malfoy cracked me up. XD
Kali: hp :: who could be behind this!!!_thirty2flavors on August 1st, 2010 09:34 pm (UTC)
I sometimes spaced out during the Umbridge scenes but I did actually literally just jump ahead when she was on stage alone. Ughhh.

I did like some parts, especially the things that tied into the first one -- like the head band, and Sirius saying that you never tell a girl that you like her, LIRL. The trio was generally enjoyable, and I liked the Spiderman discussion between Ron and Hermione, and the joke about Ron and Harry being douchebags, etc... so there were funny bits, they were just buried in things I found unfunny and awkward.
10imd: hp: avpm poolmuneca_brava on August 1st, 2010 09:42 pm (UTC)
That whole scene with Umbridge and her...mother? I skipped. BORING and annoying. (mostly I looked at Joe Walker's arms. I am shallow).

I do like the actors (especially Ron omg the way he said Hermione is turning into a blueberry and I'm eating her :P) so that made it mostly okay. I liked the improv about the poster, as well::P I think in general they just tried too hard - I mean,they were ad-libbing most of AVPM and that worked out great!
Kali: hp :: let there be light_thirty2flavors on August 1st, 2010 09:46 pm (UTC)
I skipped that one too! And um I found her ending SUPER uncomfortable. Horse rape? Really? REALLY?

I love AVPM Ron! And Harry. And Hermione and Draco. But I found Draco's ...Dobby... toilet... plotline really lame and awkward and unfunny too. Mostly I just liked when Harry and Ron were interacting lol.

I think in general they just tried too hard - I mean,they were ad-libbing most of AVPM and that worked out great!

Were they really? That's awesome.
10imd: hp: Maraudersmuneca_brava on August 1st, 2010 09:53 pm (UTC)
I guess it reflects Umbridge in OoTP with the centaur kidnapping? But the centaur annoyed me the whole time :P And yeah, toilet humour? Really? Though the drawings were kind of cute :P

Yeah, Darren Criss didn't learn his lines in AVPM. Most of what he says is ad-libbed :P
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 1st, 2010 10:07 pm (UTC)
Yeahhhhh but... rape? Really? Rape?

LOL I did like Draco's love of drawing.

LOL THAT'S AMAZING!
Adeadduck008 on August 1st, 2010 10:39 pm (UTC)
haha, oh man, rose/doctor does have a shit load of stipulations doesn't it? I guess I never thought about it, but WHAT. crazy shippers.
Kali: dw :: ten/rose :: going my way?_thirty2flavors on August 1st, 2010 10:43 pm (UTC)
IT IS VERY COMPLICATED. Some people only like her with Nine. Some only like her with Ten. Some like her with Nine, Ten or Cloen but not anyone else, some insist that if you don't ship EVERY Doctor/Rose then you are not really a Doctor/Rose shipper, etc etc. Some people insist they were having sex in series two, some insist Journey's End was their first kiss, etc etc.

I chose the most complicated ship ever. LIRL

I say I ship Doctor/Rose but have all sorts of elaborate stipulations about that which really boil down to Cloen/Rose > Ten/Rose > Nine/Rose

ME TOO KALI. Well, no, I pretty much ship Ten/Rose in both its combinations (BUT NOT TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU CATCH MY MEANING). So.... sorry Nine. And that's about it. I am not a real Doctor/Rose shipper, I guess.
Kali: dw :: nine :: fantastic_thirty2flavors on August 2nd, 2010 12:19 am (UTC)
I ship Ten/Rose a lot as well but since I would root for Cloen in a love triangle I think I ship Cloen/Rose a bit more. Ten... can... pine until he dies alone.

I liked Nine/Rose as it was in s1 but I don't feel like I need any more of it in fic or anything.
Frances: DW - Ten (II)/Rose resistencegoldy_dollar on August 2nd, 2010 01:11 am (UTC)
I love pining Ten as well. Though idk if that means I ship Cloen/Rose any less. YEAH TEN YOU GO SEE ROSE ONE LAST TIME BEFORE YOU DIE ALONE IN AN ALLEYWAY YEAH.

And I especially don't need calloused hands touching young skin.
Mari: human ten/rose whisper in my earphantomviola on August 2nd, 2010 03:37 am (UTC)
*nods in agreement to your OTP explanation* I ship Doctor/Rose too, but depending on the day and the situation, I'll either go with Ten/Rose or Cloen/Rose. As much as I loved Nine, for some reason I never felt that comfortable with him getting romantically involved with Rose. Maybe because Eccleston was so much older than Billie and they just looked a bit odd together. IDK. But yeah, never thought I'd ship Cloen/Rose as much as I do now. There's just so many possibilities for those two!
Kali: dw :: nine/rose :: when we first met_thirty2flavors on August 2nd, 2010 04:26 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I liked Nine and Rose's relationship as we saw it on the show, but I've never felt the need for more of it, and I really don't like the idea of it progressing any further at that point -- lol but then I am also one of those fans who is adamant that their first (real) kiss was in Journey's End, so.

Maybe because Eccleston was so much older than Billie and they just looked a bit odd together.

Yeah, part of it is definitely an age squick thing. I have no problem with how it was on the show, but Nine/Rose smut and stuff is really DNW for me.

But yeah, never thought I'd ship Cloen/Rose as much as I do now. There's just so many possibilities for those two!

I was one of the few people who readily accepted Cloen/Rose immediately in JE, but yeah, definitely, I love that we can write just about anything without being bound by canon. AWESOME.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought AVPS was lame. xP A lot of people on my flist absolutely loved it.

Also, I never would have called Doctor/Rose as your OTP. jsyk.
Kali: dw :: ten/rose :: worst day of my life_thirty2flavors on August 2nd, 2010 06:27 am (UTC)
I liked some parts here and there, but overall... yech. And it was sort of vaguely offensive? I found Cho, Dean and Umbridge to be kind of... problematic...

I dunno, I didn't like much of it.

I KNOW, I LIKE TO KEEP PEOPLE ON THEIR TOES.
Anya: doctor who (ol' big ears)erethesunrises on August 2nd, 2010 07:02 am (UTC)
That was exactly my problem! I found a lot of the running jokes to be pretty tasteless and poorly executed and not at all funny. I mean, there were some great parts (I loved Ron and Harry's first meeting and Lucius was great) but overall, not my cup of tea.

BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I HARDLY KNOW YOU. D:
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 2nd, 2010 03:41 pm (UTC)
I liked most of the Trio scenes, to be fair -- I also liked Ron and Hermione bonding and their Spiderman discussion, and loled at the bit where Harry tells Hermione "in the Muggle world I'm something called 'a douchebag'" -- but yeah the running jokes. Eugh. Gross. Gross and/or uncomfortable and/or offensive.

THAT IS THE PRICE OF CULTIVATING SUCH AN ENIGMA.
Camillamo_chan on August 3rd, 2010 08:09 pm (UTC)
Yeah, AVPS wasn't that good, but there were certain parts that were pretty funny. I liked Lucius always dancing around, and Lupin's characterization was hilarious, but I agree that the Umbridge thing was just weird. Also, the songs weren't as good or catchy, which for a musical is I think VERY IMPORTANT. All in all I prefer the first one a lot more because it still retains that freshness which made it great.
