The Ship has sailed. And people are pissed
The following regards SPOILERS Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince SPOILERS But rather than waste precious space (like that's ever a premium on the net), I might as well talk a little about myself.
I'm pretty damn traditional when it comes to relationships. Not in the sense it should be between a man and a woman, but on certain qualities on how they should be. I found myself when I was younger...perhaps a majority of my 2nd and 3rd grade years mentally matchmaking people together. It was a pretty darn simple process. Blonde boys with blonde girls. Brunette girls with brunette boys. Auburn haired girls with Aurburn haired boys. All in the same grade (this is pretty damn important to me) and preferably the boys a tad older than the girls.
I've always kinda thought that girls being older than boys in a romantic relationship kind of odd...kind of taboo even. It's an even stronger feeling when it was people between different grades. I never really voiced my opinons with anyone except for the occasionaly shout of "YOU LOVE SO-AND-SO", which during that time was pretty damned embarassing. Bizarrly enough, personality compatability never entered my mind once. You could have a girl being terrorized by a boy (or vice versa) and I'd still think they'd make an ultimate couple. I could actually personally know these people and still think that. But coincidentally I never really matched myself up with anyone. And I'm sure that most of you can gather why I didn't.
But nevertheless, this type of reasoning for romance continued on. Although not as strongly as in Juniour high...when people of all shapes and sizes began to emerge. And bizarre little relationships happed with fugly guys paring up with semi cute girls and vice versa, it shook the foundation of how dating and romance should be. I guess I matured a bit back then. But still, sometimes I would find myself imagining little pair ups between other people. How it would work out. Not bordering on the obsessive, but I imagined for a time when people should have at least experiemented with dating the opposite sex, upon retrospect pretty damn unhealthy.
Now the Harry Potter spoilers will begin. If you haven't already, I guess you should refrain from reading anymore lest you don't really give a shit about Harry Potter...or if you already read it.
Well I delved into the really REALLY insane world of "shipping". If you haven't heard the term, it basically is a shortened term of "relationshipper". The most prominent in the Harry Potter world is the Harry and Hermoine Shipper. Others include Harry/Draco, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Harry, and whatever wonderful pairing of insignificant character with main character.
But if you don't already know, Harry and Ginny are officially a couple. They do break up in the end for the sake of "protecting loves ones" as typical stories will dictate. I'm sure that the H/G camp are raving. Even moreso the Ron/Hermione camp celebrating an unsinkable ship with clear sailings of the makings of a happy fairy tale ending. But needless to say (but I'm going to say it anyways) Harry/Hermoine Shippers (H/Hr for short) are FUCKING PISSED.
Me personally I am a H/Hr shipper, despite the obvious signs pointing to a R/Hr ship. But if you did bother to read anything above, then you'd understand how I came to that conclusion. I could live with the current relationship of Harry/Ginny. It's too bad that when I think of Ginny, I associate her discintly with her movie version, not one of my own. Not being the exactly beauty compared to Hermione, it only increases the incompatbility of the H/G relationship because..for the lack of a better term, Ginny's not exactly beautiful. Perhaps after puberty hits her yes...but right now? Not really.
But these guys/gals are really taking it to a unprecidented DEMENTED level (funny how I say that considering the above paragraph eh). Even worst...JKR herself basically called them delusional, I guess for a lack of a better word, considering that the Mugglenet.com participants were pratically goading her in the interview of it.
But yeah I'm disappointed. But I'm sure that many of these crazy asses are going fucking insane over this bordering of wanting to rip other people's heads off which by comparison makes me a reasonable respectable person of society. But if you are brave enough to venture in complete fandimodium AND baltent obessiveness no matter how moderate laugh at some people, then go right ahead. There's enough sites for everyone. It's like watching someone's fanfic being BLOWN UP into their faces.
