And now my HP ship has been Jossed, too

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Hopefully, there'll be AUs and pre-or-post-marriage fics around. I still found the chat nice enough, since it validated some guesses I had made about plotholes, and solved a couple of doubts I and other people had.

Still, goddammit! Why do you go and admit N/L was cute and made sense, and then you give Luna a random future husband?! That's toying with my feelings, Jo. And on Neville's birthday, too.

Anyway! Even if I'm not talking about Avatar in this post, I wanted to GIP this Teo-in-a-tank icon :D Because I can't wait till September.

And a last fandom thing to discuss today:

Okay, yeah, I can see it's not only mean they don't only dodge Watanuki's situation this week as well, but also decide to take yet another a goddamned hiatus. But see, this chapter is the kind of short story you read at the end of a volume. So, perhaps this is an end-of-volume filler? Does anyone know for sure? And if that's the case, I understand they wouldn't continue with the plot, because in HOLiC they don't leave cliffhangers in the volume's last chapter.

So basically, I'm not whining about it, even if the word hiatus is making me twitch a bit of impatience.

And really, I LOVED the chapter! ^_^ I can (temporarily) forgive those whores for dragging the explanations because they gave me creepy supernatural horror. Fandom, fandom, do you remember how the series used to be like this all the time? Do you remember the man-eating monsters? Do you remember how cool it was? I do, I do! And this chapter felt like that! You guys have snarky D/W bonding all the time, but if they give me crazy shapeshifting birds with knives? It's totally even better :D

The boys call the beings "niwatori", in katakana. And that, um, means fowl. So they were attacked by evil chicken spirits? LOLOLOL.

Also, the inn with the bamboo... Thank God it didn't have spring waters, or I would've gone all OMG SASA SANCTUARY FROM OKAMI. There has to be a myth about birds owning inns somewhere, because it's too much of a coincidence, but my Google-fu is failing me.

ETA: I give up on you, TFL.

But an Herbologist is kind of like a naturalist, right? And there's nothing saying Neville isn't descended from Scamander. I WILL CLING TO THIS.


Oooh new HOLiC

No, the guy she marries is apparently called Rolf. (I even misread the transcript and thought the one copy-pasting it had put "ROFL" between parenthesis to piss people off)

O.O; I seriously read it was ROFL too. I guess I just did it naturally. I never even considered it was a name because I was reading so fast.

damn.
