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 takeyet 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.

I guess I was the questioning the Ron auror thing because in this interview she also mentions what Harry and Hermione do later but not what Ron does. I guess she was being inconsistent. But I am sure Ron does become an auror later in life like she originally said.
As for the Snape thing well she does call him an anti-hero. Which I suppose sort of fits. I do agree how he treated Harry was wrong (he couldn't get past that Harry wasn't his father) but in the end he did end up caring for Harry probably because Harry ended up reminding him of Lily. However his heroic side was being a spy to protect Harry. Of course he was doing this for Lily not Harry and I am not sure if heroics or doing the right thing ever played a part.

Hermione's career was mentioned in a separate question- Katieleigh: Does hermione still continue to do work with spew and is life any better for house elves!
And Harry and Ron were mentioned in reply to the Hogwarts question. Harry being auror was not part of that answer, it only said he went back to HW. So with that one, I definitely think it wasn't so much inconsistency as not being totally clear (it was a chat and to be honest that isn't the only reply I found a bit muddled. part of it was the poor phrasing of some of the questions), because it says earlier up Ron was a big part of fixing the wizarding world, in reply to a question about the ministry. That of course would be the auror thing. She went into pretty heavy detail about the auror thing on the dateline interview.
Snape= Anti-hero, definitely.
I don't think it did. JKR outright said he wouldn't have done it if he didn't love Lily.
