Yes, dahlinks, "chick on cell" was me. I assume it won't make anyone feel any better that the reference wasn't on my own behalf?

HA! I KNEW IT.

[zarq.livejournal.com]

That's hilarious! :D

...and perhaps a little worrisome... :D :D :D

[rm.livejournal.com]

I was totally ranting at someone about Decensus and was getting all poetic about it, so it wasn't like about my own romantic feelings. That I'm trying to justify this shit probably doesn't make it better!

*giggles*

[rm.livejournal.com]

Let us not forget the part where this is all your fault.

[kiji-kat.livejournal.com]

That's almost as bad as the time that, in an attempt to be romantic, I told my boyfriend that he was "totally Han Solo, baby. Totally space cowboy."

Fortunately, he forgave me...

[zarq.livejournal.com]

LOL! {insert tired yet still fun cliche about protesting too much here} :D

Well, if it's any consolation, I'm sure your quote has amused legions of Voldeslashers today, tho. :)

Or would that be "He-Who-Must-Not-Be Slashed"? :D

[rm.livejournal.com]

It was totally a fanfic plotting conversation about what the appeal of being a Death Eater was for Snape, which is to say, boy has issues.

Anyway.

R. and Voldie sitting in a tree ....

I like your description below though, about projecting on to people what they could be as a way to express something you want for yourself.

I used to work things out by talking about Star Trek: Voyager in public with my friend, and I used to express the fear not that no one would know what we were talking about, but that someone would.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm pretty sure this was me:

"Girl: I used to have two vibrators, but I broke 'em both.

--14th St"

...and that was on my behalf...

[rm.livejournal.com]

But did they have names?

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

Um...it sort of depends at what point in my conversation that quote is from. If the beginning of it, yes: 'Ol Pinky (not my choice...boyfriend called it that and it stuck) and Bettina. If it was from later in the conversation, I was referring to when I was 12-13 and were my parent's back massagers that I'd sneak upstairs to use, then clean, then put away. And um, I was too scared I'd get caught and embarrassed to develop a naming kind of relationship with them.

...yeah.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I personally find naming them appalling, but it's my favourite thing to tease people about.

[magnetgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, remind me to bring up the subject when you're drinking something.

I name pretty much everything I own.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Haha! Did you see most of the comments on the LJ feed are about you?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Noooooooo, must go look. I think.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Look! They are encouraging Voldemort's sexiness. Which is scary in a different way, I suppose.

[rm.livejournal.com]

OH man. I mean, I was speaking on Severus' metaphorical behalf (I mean, I don't think he'd actually do the Dark Lord), whcih again, does not make me less crazy.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. I kept saying you would end up on Overheard eventually!

[rm.livejournal.com]

I know! But I sort of didn't expect it for that. You and I must try harder on the subway.

[phaenix-ash.livejournal.com]

you get best post of the day with that one. lmao.

please to be defining "romantic context"?

[rm.livejournal.com]

I was talking about Descensus and ranting about Snape's "thing" for Voldemort which wasn't relationshipp-y romantic but about being drawn to someone and placing a lot of responsibility he should have taken for himself on someone else out based on a fantasy of who they could be as opposed to who they really were. It, was, believe it or not, despite being about submission, not about sex at all, but I realized I sounded like a maniac ranting about it and said the item quoted.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

Awesomeness!

I'm a bit of a Voldy-shipper myself, I'm afraid to say. Your quote sort of made my day, even after you clarified. Squee!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Have you read In Academia by Sushi? It is, among other things Snape/Voldemort, and it sort of started as a crack!fic (Lucius buys Snape a cowboy hat in Texas, Tom Riddle likes to corchet doilees and Snape is half-Indian) and was written after Book 4, but it remains one of my favourite, most beautiful, darkest, haunting fanfictions I've read.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

LOL you actually recommended it to me in March :). I have read a wee bit, but the whole crackiness at first put me off it. I'll try it again though... I did approve of the Snape/Voldemort and Snape/Peter.

[rm.livejournal.com]

It gets less cracky. I don't think she even intended it to get that serious, and then I don't think ever had the stomach to go back and fix it, but it's completely fucking mesmerizing.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

I remember skipping ahead a bit, and liking how Peter developed.

I clearly also need more well-written Snape/Voldemort and/or Peter/Voldemort fics, despite the fact that I really do approve of the ship that was introduced in book 7 (not mentioning it just because I dont want to spoil anyone who hasn't read the last book yet). They are both frustratingly difficult to come by!

[rm.livejournal.com]

I think that ship works for JKR's world, but not for the world in which people are actually capable of paying attention to and feeling more than one emotion at a time. Peter really has become a throwaway character for everyone and that's a shame, obviously there has to be some complexity in there.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

The ship I didn't name? I would agree with that to a degree, if so. Or did you mean Snape/Voldemort?

I hate that Peter has been thrown away. I really like him a lot, and particularly enjoy writing about him and playing him. OF course, my version of Peter is typically transgender too, so ...

[rm.livejournal.com]

The 'ship you didn't name.

Peter as trans is one of those things that works weirdly well with the film portrayal.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. *grin* I think we talked about that too in March. And you said the actor who played him as a teen reminded you of an intersex friend in apperance?

As for the ship I didn't name, definitely. Works well in the books, but that degree of feeling is less likely outside of the books. In any case, I prefer the idea of a Snape who had other relationships. Nonetheless, I ship Snape/Voldemort a bit less these days. Not with the interest I once had. Though I'd probably read Voldemort/almost anyone if it wasn't chan.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Occassionally some interesting Voldemort/adult Hermione will pop up.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

Very curious! I've only ever seen one fan art for that pair. I'll have to watch for it. I don't usually read Hermione/anyone fics. To me, she just works best with Ron, and I don't generally read fics for canon couples because canon typically covers enough ground for me. But I might actually like Voldemort/Hermione.

I do think Bellatrix/Voldemort is the most interesting if it's unrequited, though. Someday I'll have to blather about my take on Bella/Rhodolphus.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

Which I guess sort of rules out Ginny... *shudder* I'm weird like that.

[coriander.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

How funny!

[00goddess.livejournal.com]

That is awesome.

Hm, seems like there's a theme:
