Cutting my hair
Cutting off your hair is something wonderful. Pushing down on the scissors over and over again, watching locks of hair fall down in the sink and finally, ruffling your hair. The weird feeling of something new, a change.. a wonderfully good change. Okay enough bullshit.
I finally got a pixie cut :D
Indeed, I Matilda Surname, a chubby little tomboy with the roundest face in all the kingdoms, cut my hair.
Basically what happened; I put on Queen in the background, grabbed a pair of scissors and just started cutting! :) The feeling is so fulfilling.
I'm really satisfied with the result. I look better than expected (potato with hair), got lots of positive feedback and at least I won't be hot this summer :D

Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett, two women I admire the most (+ Ellen) singing/rapping about... life :)
Perfection. I know the whole thing by heart, that's how much I love this thing.

Girl crushes.. or just.. crushes? Part 1
I'm going to talk about my girl crushes today. Yeap, finally!
So basically, the meaning of the term 'girlcrush' stands for:
Feelings of admiration, awe and adoration which a girl has for another girl but without wanting to shag said girl (making an exception here xD). Basically, the feelings are platonic. The girl might want to be the girl, or even feel slightly attracted to her but it is usually non sexual. Same goes for 'mancrushes', men who admire another man's intelligence, personality or even physical features.
Though I do have to mention that since only straight girls have girlcrushes, questioning/bi/les girls have just... crushes. Still, I really like the term 'girlcrush' so I'll just keep on using it. ;)
This list is not in any kind of order (attractiveness level, intelligence, fabulousness or such..)
Sidenote, I had to bloody limit myself5 7 pictures/gifs a person because if I had it my way, you'd be scrolling down an infinite bloody post with all possible pictures of these lovely ladies. Yeah. It was hard. So anyway, I'll list only 3 of my total 10ish girl crushes today. This is part 1 guys.
I should totally do a boycrushes post as well! Awesomesauce :D Later though.
1. Emma Stone
Okay seriously, who doesn't love Emma Stone? She's funny, she's intelligent, she's gorgeous.. Her husky voice would drive anyone wild. (Funfact, she owes her unique voice to a 6 months colic when she was a baby - aka constant screaming, google it)
Personally, I prefer her a redhead but she's naturally a blond.
2. Emma Watson
Good ol' Hermione. Miss know-it-all. Miss goody-shoes. The queen bookworm of all bookworms.
Insufferable know-it-all.. You've heard them all.
But she's not just Hermione, she's a gorgeous, intelligent, adorable Emma! Yaaay!
The dream of all 9gaggers! Well, almost.
Photospam!
3. Lauren Lopez
Have you ever heard of A very Potter musical/sequel/senior year? Well, if you're a Potterhead, get your ass over there! It is a hilarious parody musical all about Harry Potter (with some other references occasionally) founded by a group of college kids. It is world famous today. Lauren Lopez portrayed Draco Malfoy, and did more than the job's justice. She's a perfect Draco. :) She played some other parts too in other musicals/shows at the StarkidPotter youtube channel.
Anyway, this Draco from the musical is known to be quite a drama queen, good at drawing, constantly rolls on the floor, cannot use the potty, has a crush on Hermione and much more. :) It sounds ridiculous but I immensely recommend you to watch the full musicals.
A very Potter musical, A very Potter sequel and A very Potter senior year. They. Rock.
Anywho, without further ado.

Randomness No. 1
Every now and then I'll post a post filled with random gifs/pictures without much explanation.
It's my way of expressing myself and at the same time sharing with you almost non-existent readers..
Do you get what I'm saying? No?
Let me explain it in a different way (I'm actually pretty sure you understood that but I just wanted to add something else :).
You know that feeling when you come across something either so brilliant/funny/devastating/inspirational or just interesting and you just want to share it with the world? Well, yeah, that's how I feel sometimes. A lot of times actually.
Which is the probably the most concrete reason why I created this blog.
To express myself, to share my thoughts and so..
Sometimes, it's my way of calming down or relieving myself of something by writing about it.
If a certain topic really bothers me or it means a lot to me and I feel like I'm going to go mad (explode) if I don't talk about it to someone.. then I come here and I feel better afterwards. Writing is my therapy.
I write (not always) when I'm upset. Usually in the summer.. when I have more time. But I write that stuff in private. But anyway, I also over-analyse things but that's another topic.
Goddamnit. This honestly wasn't supposed to turn out another one of my rants.
Well, without further ado, I bring you MATILDA'S RANDOMNESS!

^ Random. Very much random song. I could probably do much better by putting a good ol' Aretha Franklin tune but since this is the randomness post.. Eh, fuck it. Just give it a listen, maybe two. I didn't like it first but now when I'm replaying it for the fifth time (because I forgot about it or was too lazy to change it) but now I kinda like it. Yeah.

| Or washing the dishes or running a marathon.. |
 |
| Bad habit of mine, re-watching full seasons of series while multitasking. Like playing Minecraft, watching a tv series and like.. chatting with someone on skype. Did I mention I love multitasking? Not a good habit. Though I did stop using the PC that much in the last coupl-Shut up Matilda. That's not interesting at all. For fuck's sake, you want that couple of people reading your blog to stay, not fall a-fucking-sleep. Mkay? Yeah. Did I mention I'm weird? Yeah. I also like talking to myse-SHUTUP. |
 |
| Literally. |
 |
| Basically, yes. |
 |
| Take note, people. |
 |
| *sobs* |

Anyway I hope you enjoyed that. New posts coming soon (hopefully). Have a gay day everybody. And when I say gay, I do mean happy and positive. :) |

Shipping, fandoms.. part 2 (long post)
Before you start reading this post you should know I will be discussing some of my favourite slash/femmeslash/normal pairings in Harry Potter followed by PICTURES of those ships. Don't say I didn't warn you..
OH, one more thing. This post is specifically going to be about the Harry Potter fandom. Other fandoms coming soon (or in 6 months time) including Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Percy Jackson, Hunger games and many more..
Well now that you know a whole lot about the world of fanfiction, shipping and crazy fangirls.. I'm goint to start my rant.
See, I ship unusual ships. Simply, I like to try and see beyond the typical cannon ships and try to visualize different situations and so. But the biggest problem are annoying fangirls with their ignorance and close minded opinions. I understand humans differ, opinions differ but that doesn't mean we can't be respectful of each other, right?
Personally, regarding HP fandom, I don't ship Romione and Hinny because I find them boring. In addition to that, when I really analyse their personalities and interests.. I don't see any specific reasons why they should be a couple. Let's take Romione for example, a bright, intelligent young woman and a bit dummy-headed guy. Her interests are books and other magical, fascinating things. He likes food, Quidditch and Wizard Chess. What possibly can they talk about? I think Hermione deserves someone better, someone intelligent, stimulating, intriguing even. Ron deserves a girl who's like him, likes Quidditch, enjoys food, doesn't care much about school and so.. A girl who's relaxed, laid back, jokes around.. You know?
Some people say opposites attract but I won't really believe that until I experience it first-hand.
Does that mean I'm soon going to start dating a really homophobic, Harry Potter-hating guy? Oh my god... Whoever knows me from school knows why I cringed right now. I just described a friend of mine.. Awkward. Well anyway, I really don't think we would have anything to talk about. I mean your other half should be someone you trust, share opinions/interests with and so.. not a person with which you argue about the most important things in your life. Seriously. Am I the only one that thinks this way?
Same goes for Hinny, she basically fell in love with the image of him before she even knew him. And even after she saw him at the platform 9 3/4, she didn't know his personality, she only knew he was hot.. (as an 11 year old). She fell in love with his fame.. but, after a while when they got to know each other, they probably could have bonded over Quidditch and so.
I truly wish she was portrayed as more of a tomboy in the books and movies.
Nevertheless, every time I re-read the books or watch the movies I ship them. Hard. Why? Because J.K. Rowling wrote it. And it works! And besides, Emma and Rupert look cute together. As well as Daniel and what's-her-name.
So yeah, I ship them hard while re-reading the books and watching the movies :)
Back to my unusual ships. I'm going to list every one of my current ships (and some others I simply wanted to talk about) and say something about them.
Snamione - Snape/Hermione.
NO FREAKING OUT. Okay guys? Just.. chill. I understand he is 19 years older than her but keep in mind he looks much older in the movies (portrayed by Alan Rickman) because the actor portraying him is 60+ years old. In the movies he is supposed to be 35+. Before you all freak out, let me just justify this ship. She's bright and intelligent. He is bright and intelligent. They could have stimulating conversations. And of course there's chemistry. Maybe just in my mind but.. whatever. :)
There's something intriguing about an older darker character and a young innocent one that just pulls you in. I'm NOT in any way talking about dominant/submissive relationship in which she's the sub and he's like her Father figure (not literally), teaching her and caring for her.. while she's all sensitive and whatnot. Nope. I strongly dislike those kinds of fics. I'm big on gender/sex equality so I like to read fics that only contain equal relationships. If the writer shows Hermione as a shy, sensitive, slightly unintelligent girl and Severus as the big, dominant, intelligent male who takes her under his wing... I am out of there!
So anyway, I prefer to read those 50 chapter, unbelievably-stretched-out-plot fanfics in which Severus and Hermione are forced to work together on some kind of a project as they slowly get to know each other.. 50-ish chapters later... BAM first kiss. Sparks everywhere. But anyway, recently I haven't really been into those. It's been a while.. :(
Snarry - Snape/Harry
GUYS NO FREAKING OUT. Seriously. Yes. It's two guys. Yeap, it's Harry.. and Snapey. In a relationship.. Yuppers. Well, now that you've grasped that concept, let's carry on.
The same arguments stand for Snarry as they did for Snamione. I think Harry is also pretty darn intelligent and could have some stimulating talks with Severus. Again, sloooow chapters. I don't read that Oh-look-ProfSnape-is-eyefucking-me-I'll-just-go-ahead-and-drop-something-so-I-get-detention-and-can-seduce-him-and-carry-on-fucking-for-the-next-5-hours bullshit. Well.. maybe sometimes. But very rarely.. ^^
No judging you guys.. This is a no-judging-zone. Seriously.
Drarry - Draco/Harry
No judging. Two hot men.. you can't say no to that. Anywho, a lot of people ship them. But basically, most of the fics I come across are the usual non-realistic type. One day they hate each other guts, other day they are snogging in the hallway. Like.. what?!?! Again, I prefer the loong fics where somehow Draco and Harry end up together.. somewhere. And first 20 chapters, they almost kill each other. Next 20, they are bearing each other's presence. Next 20, friend-ish behaviour. Next 20 BAM SEXUAL TENSION.. and so on.. You get the point.
Though think about it, they both like Quidditch and adventure. What else is there? Seriously? (Maybe food..)
Snupin - Snape/Lupin
Ah! My latest obsession :) I've been shipping them for a while now. And lemme tell ya why! They are both two intelligent young men with relatively the same interests. Both spend their Hogwarts years nose stuck in books, reading on and on.. Yes, Sevvy might have spent a bit more time bent over cauldrons (hence the greasy hair) but that doesn't matter. Remus was the only one of the Marauders who rarely pranked Snivellus and was more interested in doing more mature and not-time-wasting things. Like... getting to know Severus better! ;) Bam. Sparks. Love. It. :3 I SHIP IT.
Snucius - Snape/Lucius
I really disliked Lucius before. I really didn't see why girls (and occasional boys) found him attractive. I mean seriously. A middle age guy with long blond/greyish hair and a fencyschmency cane. As in seriously..? Did I mention I love the word seriously? Well I love it. I also love the word indeed. And ifyouknowwhatimean. That's not a word.. but.. whatever :)
Anywho, I don't really know how I started shipp-ACTUALLY I DO KNOW! I was reading a Harry/Tom Riddle fic (No. Judging. It fucking worked. And Voldy was like Harry's age and... it worked. Shut up. It's called The black bunny or something along those lines. Feel free to check it out. Mpreg warning.) and the side pairing was Snape/Lucius.. And I loved it! And a certain Finnish/Estonian girl kept giving me weird looks while I told her about the latest adventure of 'the gang'. Oh also, Fred, George and Draco were in love and marrying each other. Yeap, all three of them. And now you're imagining Fred and George fucking.. NO! Draco was mostly in the middle. But then there was this one time... Oh god. You think I'm weird, you do don't you? Jesus. Ah well. Screw it. There are people like me out there! I KNOW IT! :3
Snirius - Snape/Sirius
I don't ship it as hard as Snupin since they don't have as much in common but I'm still cool with it. Two gorgeous men.. Some hardcore chemistry... Fuck yeah :3
Wolfstar - Sirius/Remus
Awesomness. I don't know what else to say. Two Marauders.. sexual tension.. They remind me of Ron and Hermione in a way.. Complete opposites but.. it works! :)
Ronks - Remus/Tonks
I think this is one of the rare cannon pairings I ship. They are both very much gorgeous (though I preferred Tonks with pink/purple hair rather than that short brown catastrophe..
This one time I read.. Well, you know how Tonks can change her body, right? Yes, well I read a fic in which she changed her genitals during sex with Remus.. since he was bi. And.. well.. you can imagine the rest. Hot. I mean *cough* whatever.. xD
Don't give me that look! You were totally thinking it too! Okay, maybe not.. but you are now! xD
Snellatrix - Snape/Bellatrix
I'm not crazy about them but I'll gladly read a fic about the two of them. Two extravagant, intelligent, attractive people.. :33 Why not? Did I mention I love me some angst?
Bellamort - Bellatrix/Voldemort
Intriguing pairing.. The ship can go a few different main ways. There's the usual Bella-loving-Voldy-while-he's-either-oblivious-or-not-capable-of-loving-back in which at one point he starts changing or something and of course they end up together. Or the other type; an angsty, hurt/comfort, and even abusing relationship. Looking for a happy/positive fic? Not for you. Most Bellamort fics aren't.. happily ever after. Just a small warning. :) Still pretty cool though.
Hansy - Hermione/Pansy
While shipping Drarry, what the hell do I do with Hermione? Ship with her Ron? Hell naw! Ship her with the hottest Slytherin girl! Pansy! :33 I can see it work ;) Even though, not much is written about Pansy (except that her face looks squished with a pig nose or something along those lines) I always imagined as an intelligence equal to Hermione. Strong independent woman.. NOT running after Draco all the time. Gods no.
Though I suppose they'd be a pretty cool couple too. Eh, I don't know. I'm open to everything. I ship it.
Huna - Harry/Luna
They'd be a cute couple.. I suppose. I see them more as friends but I wouldn't mind reading a Huna fic :)
Lumione - Hermione/Luna
I ship it! :D Two.. very.. attractive bright intelligent young ladies.. I say, why not? ;) I'm always up for a good Lumione story (also lengthy and slow). :33
Gimione/Herhinny - Hermione/Ginny
^ I don't know the exact ship name. Anywho, I occasionally read a H/G fanfic but not so much lately.. I think it's because I don't really like Ginny.. I mean Gods, the tomboy version, I love. But the sensitive, innocent Ginny most writers portray, I really dislike. If you find a tomboy Ginny/Hermione fanfic.. You know who to contact. ;)
Minervione - Hermione/McGonagoll
I once came across this girl who wrote only about Minerva and Hermione. She had over 30 fanfics on her profile just about these two lovely ladies. (Calm down people, most of them contained Time Travel, so they were the same age. Okay?) I tried reading a couple, it seemed nice enough but it just wasn't my thing.
I can see why she makes it work though. They're both very intelligent, ambitious young women. Strength and Independence aren't the only adjectives that describe them both.. Whatever floats your boat! :)
Harmony - Harry/Hermione
According to the movies, Harmony makes perfect sense. Especially when they dance in the tent after Ron leaves them.. xD But anyway, they'd make a cute couple :) Though, their friendship is lovely. Proves males and females can be very good friends without any tension in between them.
Dramione - Draco/Hermione
I used to ship them really hard but since I've started shipping Drarry... it just lost the charm for me :/
Anywho, if the circumstances were a bit different (Draco didn't despise mudbloods), they could have worked out. I occasionally read a fic with this pairing though.. :)
Blammione/Hellatrix - Hermione/Bellatrix
Very.. interesting pairing. I mean, these two women are complete opposites regarding their ambitions/opinions/views on certain things.. but they are very intelligent. Even though one of them is slightly bit.. err, disturbed. Nevertheless, I've read some interesting angsty fanfics featuring these two witches though.. For example, this is one of the best Hellatrix fanfics I've ever read (or started reading and then might have forgotten about it or something along those lines) but every person I meet that ships Hellatrix recommends me this fic. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7755315/1/Those-Gilded-Chains-We-Wear
Nevertheless, I find it really hard to read fanfiction about these two because I keep being reminded of the 'Mudblood carved into skin' scene.. After that, it's impossible to ship them.
Nothing is impossible though. So.. er... I'm cool with it.
Also I ship anything with the Weasley twins. From Fremione/Gremione, Fnarry, Gnarry, Hnaco, Graco.. and whatever else..
I am sure I forgot some other ships along the way but that relatively sums it up.
You're so judging me right now, aren't you?
Well anyway, my advice to you is: Live and let live.
People around you will most likely always have some different opinions on certain things, and you have to live with that. In order to do that, you respect their choices and be kind to them because you'd want them to do the same.
Is it too weird to quote the bible on a post full one same-sex couples? I wouldn't want to be disrespecting its rules and what it stands for but I still agree with some things it says. I might as well..
Matthew 7:12
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
So just... Live and let live.
OH, one more thing. This post is specifically going to be about the Harry Potter fandom. Other fandoms coming soon (or in 6 months time) including Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Percy Jackson, Hunger games and many more..
Well now that you know a whole lot about the world of fanfiction, shipping and crazy fangirls.. I'm goint to start my rant.

A girl who's relaxed, laid back, jokes around.. You know?
Some people say opposites attract but I won't really believe that until I experience it first-hand.
Does that mean I'm soon going to start dating a really homophobic, Harry Potter-hating guy? Oh my god... Whoever knows me from school knows why I cringed right now. I just described a friend of mine.. Awkward. Well anyway, I really don't think we would have anything to talk about. I mean your other half should be someone you trust, share opinions/interests with and so.. not a person with which you argue about the most important things in your life. Seriously.

One day they hate each other guts, other day they are snogging in the hallway. Like.. what?!?! Again, I prefer the loong fics where somehow Draco and Harry end up together.. somewhere. And first 20 chapters, they almost kill each other. Next 20, they are bearing each other's presence. Next 20, friend-ish behaviour. Next 20 BAM SEXUAL TENSION.. and so on.. You get the point.
Though think about it, they both like Quidditch and adventure. What else is there? Seriously? (Maybe food..)
Snupin - Snape/Lupin
Ah! My latest obsession :) I've been shipping them for a while now. And lemme tell ya why! They are both two intelligent young men with relatively the same interests. Both spend their Hogwarts years nose stuck in books, reading on and on.. Yes, Sevvy might have spent a bit more time bent over cauldrons (hence the greasy hair) but that doesn't matter. Remus was the only one of the Marauders who rarely pranked Snivellus and was more interested in doing more mature and not-time-wasting things. Like... getting to know Severus better! ;) Bam. Sparks. Love. It. :3 I SHIP IT.
Snucius - Snape/Lucius
I really disliked Lucius before. I really didn't see why girls (and occasional boys) found him attractive. I mean seriously. A middle age guy with long blond/greyish hair and a fencyschmency cane. As in seriously..? Did I mention I love the word seriously? Well I love it. I also love the word indeed. And ifyouknowwhatimean. That's not a word.. but.. whatever :)
Anywho, I don't really know how I started shipp-ACTUALLY I DO KNOW! I was reading a Harry/Tom Riddle fic (No. Judging. It fucking worked. And Voldy was like Harry's age and... it worked. Shut up. It's called The black bunny or something along those lines. Feel free to check it out. Mpreg warning.) and the side pairing was Snape/Lucius.. And I loved it! And a certain Finnish/Estonian girl kept giving me weird looks while I told her about the latest adventure of 'the gang'. Oh also, Fred, George and Draco were in love and marrying each other. Yeap, all three of them. And now you're imagining Fred and George fucking.. NO! Draco was mostly in the middle. But then there was this one time... Oh god. You think I'm weird, you do don't you? Jesus. Ah well. Screw it. There are people like me out there! I KNOW IT! :3

| What I love about this gif: - The ladies in the background who can't keep their eyes of Lucius, - Professor Sprout just randomly chilling behind them - Afro american guy on the left bottom, also staring at the blond cutie - And most of all; Severus's face expressions: First he's laughing with Lucius but then it looks like his breath was taken away by his friend's/partner's beauty. BAM. Sexual tension. Love it. |
Snirius - Snape/Sirius
I don't ship it as hard as Snupin since they don't have as much in common but I'm still cool with it. Two gorgeous men.. Some hardcore chemistry... Fuck yeah :3
Wolfstar - Sirius/Remus
Awesomness. I don't know what else to say. Two Marauders.. sexual tension.. They remind me of Ron and Hermione in a way.. Complete opposites but.. it works! :)
Ronks - Remus/Tonks
I think this is one of the rare cannon pairings I ship. They are both very much gorgeous (though I preferred Tonks with pink/purple hair rather than that short brown catastrophe..
This one time I read.. Well, you know how Tonks can change her body, right? Yes, well I read a fic in which she changed her genitals during sex with Remus.. since he was bi. And.. well.. you can imagine the rest. Hot. I mean *cough* whatever.. xD
Don't give me that look! You were totally thinking it too! Okay, maybe not.. but you are now! xD
 |
| My heart is breaking at Remus's face expression.. |
Snellatrix - Snape/Bellatrix
I'm not crazy about them but I'll gladly read a fic about the two of them. Two extravagant, intelligent, attractive people.. :33 Why not? Did I mention I love me some angst?
 |
| The chemistry.. |
Intriguing pairing.. The ship can go a few different main ways. There's the usual Bella-loving-Voldy-while-he's-either-oblivious-or-not-capable-of-loving-back in which at one point he starts changing or something and of course they end up together. Or the other type; an angsty, hurt/comfort, and even abusing relationship. Looking for a happy/positive fic? Not for you. Most Bellamort fics aren't.. happily ever after. Just a small warning. :) Still pretty cool though.
Hansy - Hermione/Pansy
While shipping Drarry, what the hell do I do with Hermione? Ship with her Ron? Hell naw! Ship her with the hottest Slytherin girl! Pansy! :33 I can see it work ;) Even though, not much is written about Pansy (except that her face looks squished with a pig nose or something along those lines) I always imagined as an intelligence equal to Hermione. Strong independent woman.. NOT running after Draco all the time. Gods no.
Though I suppose they'd be a pretty cool couple too. Eh, I don't know. I'm open to everything. I ship it.
Huna - Harry/Luna
They'd be a cute couple.. I suppose. I see them more as friends but I wouldn't mind reading a Huna fic :)
Lumione - Hermione/Luna
I ship it! :D Two.. very.. attractive bright intelligent young ladies.. I say, why not? ;) I'm always up for a good Lumione story (also lengthy and slow). :33
 |
| This perfectly sums up my feelings about them. I ship it.. :D |
Gimione/Herhinny - Hermione/Ginny
^ I don't know the exact ship name. Anywho, I occasionally read a H/G fanfic but not so much lately.. I think it's because I don't really like Ginny.. I mean Gods, the tomboy version, I love. But the sensitive, innocent Ginny most writers portray, I really dislike. If you find a tomboy Ginny/Hermione fanfic.. You know who to contact. ;)
Minervione - Hermione/McGonagoll
I once came across this girl who wrote only about Minerva and Hermione. She had over 30 fanfics on her profile just about these two lovely ladies. (Calm down people, most of them contained Time Travel, so they were the same age. Okay?) I tried reading a couple, it seemed nice enough but it just wasn't my thing.
I can see why she makes it work though. They're both very intelligent, ambitious young women. Strength and Independence aren't the only adjectives that describe them both.. Whatever floats your boat! :)
Harmony - Harry/Hermione
According to the movies, Harmony makes perfect sense. Especially when they dance in the tent after Ron leaves them.. xD But anyway, they'd make a cute couple :) Though, their friendship is lovely. Proves males and females can be very good friends without any tension in between them.
Dramione - Draco/Hermione
I used to ship them really hard but since I've started shipping Drarry... it just lost the charm for me :/
Anywho, if the circumstances were a bit different (Draco didn't despise mudbloods), they could have worked out. I occasionally read a fic with this pairing though.. :)

| Not photoshopped^^ In between shooting the Goblet of fire - Yule ball scene, actors were practising dancing. At the time, Emma was crushing on Tom.. True story. And for all the Fremione/Gremione shippers... There's Fred/George (I can't tell them apart) in the background looking in Herman's (AVPS reference) direction. |
Blammione/Hellatrix - Hermione/Bellatrix
Very.. interesting pairing. I mean, these two women are complete opposites regarding their ambitions/opinions/views on certain things.. but they are very intelligent. Even though one of them is slightly bit.. err, disturbed. Nevertheless, I've read some interesting angsty fanfics featuring these two witches though.. For example, this is one of the best Hellatrix fanfics I've ever read (or started reading and then might have forgotten about it or something along those lines) but every person I meet that ships Hellatrix recommends me this fic. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7755315/1/Those-Gilded-Chains-We-Wear
Nevertheless, I find it really hard to read fanfiction about these two because I keep being reminded of the 'Mudblood carved into skin' scene.. After that, it's impossible to ship them.
Nothing is impossible though. So.. er... I'm cool with it.
Also I ship anything with the Weasley twins. From Fremione/Gremione, Fnarry, Gnarry, Hnaco, Graco.. and whatever else..
I am sure I forgot some other ships along the way but that relatively sums it up.
You're so judging me right now, aren't you?
Well anyway, my advice to you is: Live and let live.
People around you will most likely always have some different opinions on certain things, and you have to live with that. In order to do that, you respect their choices and be kind to them because you'd want them to do the same.
Is it too weird to quote the bible on a post full one same-sex couples? I wouldn't want to be disrespecting its rules and what it stands for but I still agree with some things it says. I might as well..
Matthew 7:12
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
So just... Live and let live.
