You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

...because I do. But I definitely think I'd like it more and be more interested in it if I weren't involved in the fandom. As it is, there's a tiny bit of bitterness there, and I feel kind of annoyed sometimes when people talk about R/Hr as the "real" romance of the HP series. Because I don't feel that way at all.

Obviously, I don't expect everyone to share my particular perspective, even if they ship the same pairings. But it makes me sad that there still seems to be an implicit rivalry between R/Hr and H/G. And, more significantly, that I'm not exempt from it. I find myself getting very defensive about H/G lately, and even sometimes annoyed that people seem more interested in R/Hr than H/G now (Which is only to be expected, right? Because, I mean - FINALLY).

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, and I know I'm being incredibly annoying and whiny, but I had to get it off my chest. I just love my OTP, and wish I felt that other people loved it as much as I do. But there's obviously nothing at all that I can do about that. The world does not revolve around me and my needs. :P


In other news, I have no comment whatsoever on BoldGate. I'm currently sticking my fingers in my ears and just hoping it will all unhappen. Because I reallyreally do not want to leave LJ.
