And I'm back! Not that I exactly went away for long. Or exactly "away" for that matter.

Still, the jaunt out the Hamiltonian way was interesting enough. Had dinner with the family at a Greek restaurant I swear wasn't there last time I was in Hamilton; got a bag full of Easter eggs which I lugged back up to Melbourne with me; in a bit of free time, I started to watch Full Metal Panic ([livejournal.com profile] xwingace will be pleased); cleared out some of my more sentimental and/or useful junk from the far, (Gosh, it's been a while since I've been out there). Though I was right, most of the stuff there I won't really miss all that much.

Oh, and got Dad's address for where he'll be living in Thailand. I think he offered to pay for us to come over and visit when he's there. Which on one hand: free trip to Thailand. On the other hand: everything else. Sigh.

In other news, the trip to the USA in the middle of the year is looking increasingly likely. Here's hoping that happens.

In non-Hamilton related news, my flist has exploded with stuff about new Doctor Who. It's all very chatty and nostalgic.

Also, apparently, the new series of Ashes to Ashes, though that got swept away in the tide of Doctor Who. I still need to watch that episode, though.

Oh: New (and final) FMA:B Opening and Ending themes. Like the animation, am still deciding about the songs. They are also quite spoilery to recent chapters, though IDK if it might be cryptic enough to escape people who haven't read the manga.

One of the things I did follow a bit while I was away was some of the ongoing shenanigans between The HMS STFU and the Snapefen, and somehow when wandered into the discussion it somehow ended involving some ongoing dicussion I've been having about certain aspects of Code Geass fandom and then the streams crossed, and now I sorta-kinda want to write a paper analysing the psychological underpinnings of the Draco In Leather Pants tendency in parts of fandom.

Yes, I know. How would you even study something like that? I don't even know what subject it would be classified under.

In conclusion, [livejournal.com profile] ypaladinofchaos, why do you always update that fic of yours on mornings when I am just about to leave home?

Well, I'm actually not very familiar with HP fandom at all, having only watched movies no. 1, 2, and 6, read some fluffy DracoHermione by a friend when I was 14, and one other Snape/Harry fic early this year. But I hear that Snape's life is quite a tragic story, in a way. (Because of how he'd loved Lily and all that.)
Oh well, fandom always likes to go overboard with things.

WHAT A BUNCH OF SHINY. But alas I am lazy to go through pixiv at the moment; you wouldn't happen to have the original fanart for that, would you?? (Just thought I'd ask, since nothing to lose xD - although I'm sure I'll come across it when I DO eventually perform that raid on pixiv)

HP was my main fandom for, oh, years and years. And the books are far better than the movies, which drop a lot of subplots, some which are quite relevent. And Snape's life is tragic, but he also makes some epically dumb choices. (He joins an organisation devoted to wiping out Muggleborn wizards and witches, when the girl he loves is Muggleborn.) He's basically a guy who never quite gets over his teenage issues.

Here it is! I liked that art from the first time I saw it.

They all seem to make idiotic decisions from time to time, don't they?

Ah, lovely, just lovely ♥ Thank you!

And you can tell where peoples biases lie by seeing who's dumb choices they criticise and who gets a pass.

It is a lovely piece of art, isn't it?
