That One "Love Triangle" in The Hunger Games Trilogy

well unless you have no problems with SPOILERS :3

I'm starting to feel sick whenever someone says,"Oh, The Hunger Games? It's like, the next Twilight, right?" or "What the...?! A love triangle?? What is this, a new Twilight?". If you ask me, I can assure you that there is no love triangle in THG book series. Well, if you insist... technically, it's there, but that's it. The love triangle is just kind of... there. You can barely see the love triangle well, unless you're a fan of Stephenie Meyer. However, I still think there isn't even a love triangle in Hunger Games books.

If I'm not mistaken, (if you have read the books) you would know that Katniss did not even want to have kids or even get married because of the messed up system and place she lived in. (SPOILERS.... I'VE WARNED YOU) Even Peeta has a hard time in asking (I am sorry if I choose the wrong word >_<) Katniss to have kids at the end of the trilogy. Some people would think that Peeta was the first one who was friendzoned by Katniss. Nope, it was Gale. You would know if you've read the first book of the trilogy, The Hunger Games. I admit that I actually thought Katniss would end up with Gale because Suzanne Collins introduced him first before Peeta. However, as time goes by, Peeta's character grew in me. I felt like I knew why Katniss would end up with him at the end.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even though Katniss does think that both Gale and Peeta are attractive, she never goes all Bella Swan in the trilogy. 

COME ON. It takes almost two and a half books for Katniss to realize that she really loves Peeta as a person. I mean, she loves Gale as well— or maybe not really since he kind of related to what happened to Prim. If I'm not mistaken, it happens either in the middle or near the end of Mockingjay book.

Of course, Katniss had this kind of hunger when she kissed Peeta in the arena (the 3rd Quarter Quell; Catching Fire). Still, she didn't realize that she actually loved Peeta at the moment. If you ask me, when she kissed Peeta at the beach, it was kind of like Annabeth-Percy-Rachel case at the end of The Battle of Labyrinth and at some parts in The Last Olympian. I think this and this post describe the so-called (once again... I hope I'm using the correct word >_<) love triangle in The Hunger Games books perfectly.

Besides, both Gale Hawthorne and Peeta Mellark have important roles in the story, not just as Katniss Everdeen's love interests. Unlike that one love triangle in Twilight. Someone wrote a good analysis about Gale and Peeta's role. However, I will have to disagree if someone says that Peeta's main purpose is only as a love interest just because he ends up with Katniss at the end. I've heard people who said that Katniss should've killed Peeta in the 74th Hunger Games, or that Peeta Mellark is a boring character. I know this video is supposed to be a joke (or maybe they seriously think that Katniss should've killed Peeta :| ) but still... how many people who've watched the video and said,"Hell yeah! You should've killed Peeta, Katniss!"?

Let me tell you: if you ask me, I'd say, if Peeta died in the 74th Hunger Games, there would be no rebellion or revolution.

Or let's just say if Peeta Mellark didn't exist. Still, there'd be no rebellion or revolution. If Peeta didn't exist, it means a random District 12 boy would be reaped, and Katniss would still volunteer as a Tribute for Prim. If this version of 74th Hunger Games happened and Katniss/the random District 12 male Tribute/both of them lost, there'd be no rebellion/revolution. If this version of 74th Hunger Games happened and Katniss or the random District 12 male Tribute won... still, nothing would happen. Everything would stay the same. Katniss/the random District 12 male Tribute would be a mentor and stuff. What, do you think if Katniss was reaped together with a random District 12 male Tribute, she would behave or do things the way she did with Peeta? I don't think so. If Katniss owed Peeta and she still considered to kill him, well... what do you think she'd do to this random District 12 male Tribute? I say, she'd try her best to kill him to survive the games.

What, do you think Gale would volunteer as a Tribute like Peeta did in Catching Fire? Nope, I don't think so. If Gale volunteered in this version of 74th Hunger Games (where Peeta didn't exist), then who would take care of Gale and Katniss' family? I don't think Katniss would forgive Gale for volunteering as a Tribute because no one would take care of their families, especially her family. Besides the fact that Gale was supposed to take care of his and Katniss' family, didn't Gale just realize that he loved Katniss after the whole star-crossed lovers stuff? After he saw Peeta and Katniss? Then Gale was like,"Wow. Katniss and the baker boy. I can't...." What, you think Katniss would ask Peeta or his father to take care of her and Gale's family? That wouldn't happen because Katniss felt that she owed Peeta, right? Asking  Peeta or even his father to take care of her and Gale's family would make her frustrated or something like that.

Then, let's say that Katniss did kill Peeta in the final round of 74th Hunger Games. STILL, there would be no rebellion or revolution. She would be a mentor and live in the Victors' Village.

It's out of topic, but I still don't understand why some people think Peeta looks like a girl, boring, or has feminine traits. He bakes, of course, but what, does it make him look like a girl? Does that make him weaker than Katniss? Didn't he kill Brutus? Isn't he strong? Or does it mean if someone can cook or bake, it means that person (male or female) have a feminine trait or look like a girl?

I also don't understand why some people are disappointed of what happened in Mockingjay. I've seen people's reaction about Mockingjay who think that the last book of Hunger Games franchise really represents how people like Katniss and the others would be and do. What, did you really expect the characters in The Hunger Games books, especially Katniss, would be badass and tough all the time? You expect them to make perfect and right decisions— or more like, decisions you agree with —all the time? COME ON. Like I said, especially Katniss Everdeen. After what happened to Prim to the point Katniss almost lost her mind or sanity. You seriously expect Katniss to be still badass, tough, and make best decisions? Come on, guys. Do you even remember how old Katniss when all this stuff happened to her? She's still that young and has been through all these things? If you think about it, I'm surprised why Katniss head didn't explode when Coin takes votes for their supposedly revenge version of Hunger Games. Also, Primrose Everdeen is like, someone Katniss loved the most in the entire universe. It might seem like Katniss is out of character for a moment when they are taking votes, but come on..... would you please try to put yourself in her shoes? After all Katniss has been through, and she lost Prim forever, and then there's a chance like that... I think Katniss already has too many things to handle that she doesn't even think whether it's the right decision or not at the moment.

Some people also expect there would be a-war-in-Capitol-involving-Katniss-woohoo-this-is-gonna-be-crazy-intense-and-stuff-most-importantly-blood-yeahh thing in Mockingjay..... do I have to remind you that The Hunger Games book series is relayed by first point of view/first POV? If you ask me, it means we, as the readers, have to accept the fact that we obviously will not see and read stuff not involving Katniss or stuff Katniss doesn't really care about.

Mockingjay would be separated into two films, anyway. That way, maybe you might get what you've always wanted, right?

And to some people who said that the epilogue isn't important, isn't related to the story, or even shouldn't exist..... man. Really? After all Peeta and Katniss have been through? I really, really think they deserve an ending or closure that is kind of a happy ending. "Kind of"? Yeah. Because I don't think even though it seems like Peeta and Katniss are happy (like what some people said)... you know. Gale, Katniss' best friend, has left her and goes to District 2. Katniss' mother goes and stays in District 4 because of what happened to Prim. Peeta's family all have gone forever. Peeta's still got episodes, meaning it would still be a problem for both Peeta and Katniss. Well, I don't know about you but I think what Peeta, Katniss, or any other Hunger Games characters for that matter have gotten and been through would make what happens at the end of Mockingjay/the epilogue as happy ending.

I gotta admit that I used to be one of those people who don't like Mockingjay. I didn't really know what Mockingjay told us, but now I know. All I can say is now that I know Mockingjay is actually a great book, it makes me love The Hunger Games book trilogy even more. Now that I know what Mockingjay actually represents or tells, I do agree that it's great because it's a realistic depiction if this kind of thing really happened.

So, that's why I think love triangle and especially Peeta actually have an important role in the trilogy. I, for one, think that his character is interesting especially what happens to him in Mockingjay.

Romance in Novels (In My Opinion)

A bit intro: this post basically says how bad I am at giving a title for my posts. I'm terribly sorry T_T

Alright. I'm going to talk about what I think of romance in (Young Adult) novels.

I think I am the kind of reader who likes romance in novels. In fact, I think I'm a sucker of that kind of stuff. However, there are two authors (who are my favorites) who can't write romance nicely because of one particular reason: they write it in the way they're not good at. The authors are J. K. Rowling and Rick Riordan. That's okay if you disagree with me because people have different opinions. :)

As I've mentioned in my previous posts, I don't like what Rowling did in her Harry Potter books when she wrote romance. It is either she really can't write romance or she's bad at writing romance from a man's POV. In my opinion, Rowling tried way too hard in making her readers to like her romance writing or (as in fangirl's language) ship the couples she created. Not to mention her lame attempts in the INTERVIEWS (oh God... I kinda hate that word now because of her >_>); it's like she was screaming to her readers: "YEAH? HMMM??? DO YOU SEE IT NOW? YOU SEE WHY HARRY/GINNY AND RON/HERMIONE ARE PERFECT (in my head)?? DO YOU LIKE THEM AS COUPLES? I BET YOU DO; I KNOW I AM AWESOME AT THIS STUFF." Rowling even messed up Harry, Hermione, and Ginny's characterizations that she'd built from the beginning just because she didn't want to rewrite the epilogue and admit that she'd screwed up.

If I had a time machine and a ticket to where she lives, I'd go back in time and try to convince her that she should rewrite her epilogue. I'm not saying that an author shouldn't write the epilogue from the beginning; I don't know it's a bad thing or not anyway. However, Rowling has screwed up her ending in the epilogue by herself. I don't know if it's true or not, but there are some people who said that Rowling wrote the epilogue before she started writing Philosopher's Stone. In fact, they said that original epilogue was longer than the published one. The thing is, it feels like Rowling didn't want to admit that she had screwed up her story and characters in the romance part. She had written Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley and Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger in the epilogue; it turned out that the only couple who had the best chemistry was Harry and Hermione. And Daniel/Bonnie and Rupert/Emma's lack of chemistry weren't helping. At all. Or maybe it's just me. Well, I don't know about you, but I have shipped Harry and Hermione since I read the books-and-cleverness scene in Philosopher's Stone. The moment Hermione hugged Harry was the moment I was like:

They were still young at the moment, I know. However, there are many Harry/Ginny shippers who think that the moment Ginny fangirled when she saw Harry for the first time in King's Cross (which, in my opinion, is not a romantic scene at all :p) in Philosopher's Stone is a shippy moment, right? :p

If only Rowling rewrote the epilogue, I am absolutely sure that Rowling would've had one of the most memorable love stories/romances in literature history. I don't know if she knows about this, but in my opinion, she didn't have to work too hard if she chose Harry and Hermione. Rowling had had many Harry/Hermione moments in the first five Harry Potter books, so why didn't she write them as a couple? I have no fudging idea. As for Ron and Hermione, I think they have the potential as well. However, Rowling had screwed up again by making them bicker for... oh, I don't know, seven books. I find that bickering couples could be cute, but I won't if they keep bickering like they really hate each other and there's no closure. With Ron and Hermione, Rowling STILL made them bicker even until the sixth book, the book which is supposed to be the... I don't know, probably the romance book of Harry Potter series. I don't even think RoMione's bickering is cute or lovely. You think it's cute when Ron and Hermione bickered to the point Hermione just couldn't take it anymore and she cried at times? Well, that's okay if that's what you think of romantic couples. I just don't and will not find Ron and Hermione cute because of the way Rowling treat them.

Now let's talk about Rick Riordan. I really loved what he did in the first Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson & the Olympians. When I read the romance part in the fourth book of the series, The Battle of the Labyrinth, I was like:

He did it perfectly that I cared about two things: what would happen to Percy and the others & who Percy was gonna end up with. He also did it perfectly that the romance didn't dominate the story. It was still there, but he made you care about other stuff happened in the story. He even convinced me that Percy was gonna end up with that girl instead of the girl I'd shipped Percy with. How did he do that? In my opinion, that (maybe only for me) happened because Riordan had mentioned and made her in the story in the previous book, The Titan's Curse. It's like what J. K. Rowling did with Harry and Cho Chang in Prisoner of Azkaban until Order of the Phoenix; the only difference was that Rowling handled it nicely in the beginning but badly in the middle and the end. Riordan managed to convince me that there was a possibility that Percy really would end up with this girl. It felt like he was saying,"Hey, you do know that Percy actually also has a crush on this girl, right? Not only on that girl? Because Percy's either too stupid to realize or is blind about love? Or maybe it's just me who's trolling you guys.".

Everytime there was a moment between Percy and the-girl-I-ship-Percy-with, I really love and appreciate it. By appreciating it, I mean that I was smiling and/or even giggling while reading the part. I would love to see it more, but not too much or all over the place. I appreciated the romantic moments between Percy and the-girl-I-ship-Percy-with because they didn't dominate the story. Like, there were not many shippy/romantic moments between Percy and her in one book, but in my opinion it was the best that way. It made me appreciate every moment between the two of them in each book of the series. Oh, I think I have to mention that Percy and this girl sometimes bickered, argued, or disagreed about stuff, but they had a kind of closure. Sometimes they would not talk to each other for a while or they still did but casually because they were still mad at each other. Still, they had a closure. Ooh yes, Rowling, I'm talking what you never did with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

However, in the second series, Heroes of Olympus, I didn't like what Riordan did in Mark of Athena, the third book of the series. In fact, I kind of hate it. What did he do? Didn't I say that I like his writing about romance? Well, in my opinion, Riordan has the same problem Rowling has: writing the romance from the wrong POV. I think Riordan wrote the romance in Percy Jackson & the Olympians series nicely because he wrote it from Percy's POV. He's a guy (DUH), right? That's why I think he did it perfectly. He knows how boys would feel, react, or do when they have a crush on someone or are in a relationship. He also knows how a boy would describe his feelings toward a girl (the boy likes the girl, considers her as a friend, or still doesn't realize about his feelings) and he writes it perfectly.

In Mark of Athena, what happened was a disaster. Or maybe it's just me who exaggerate it. It was obvious that Riordan wanted to try to write the romance from the girl's POV that he tried to explore a girl's feelings when she fell in love with someone. However, it felt like Riordan browsed stuff about romance from a girl's POV or interviewed some girls about stuff they do when they fall in love. It did not feel natural at all. It was like,"Oh, I just found out that a girl does this thing when she falls in love or is in a relationship. Very well. I will make this girl does this in my novel. All the time. Every two or three pages.".

What Riordan did in Mark of Athena made me think,"Oh, no... again?!", "Haha, yeah, sure. Whatever. *rolls eyes*", "For fudge's sake, girl, there are more important things you need to solve and think about!!", etc. There were too many romantic moments in the book that I have a feeling this book would be the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince of the series. This is unusual for me because technically, I should've loved every romantic moments of the couples in Heroes of Olympus series because I ship them except Jason Grace and Piper McLean, of course. I hope they will do me a favor by disappearing for no apparent reason. For good. In my opinion, even if Riordan still wants to write the romance from the girl's POV, he shouldn't write it too much. Just a bit. He needs to explore the romance part more from the boy's POV because that's what he's really good at. Riordan doesn't have to try too hard in writing the romance part from the girl's POV because he would screw up again if he does it.

It wouldn't be a big problem if Mark of Athena almost made me didn't want to continue reading the next two books. It was so bad that I was like,"Do I really want to read House of Hades? Would Rick Riordan screw up again?". I know that it could be Riordan's (lame) attempt to shut the shippers' mouths up, but it ended up badly. To be honest, the cliffhanger in Mark of Athena which involved a particular pairing did shock me but it didn't really affect me the way I reacted after reading The Battle of Labyrinth. I know Riordan would never mess with this couple. Well, he might kill one of them in the end (I don't know why, but I just have a feeling it would happen), but he would never mess with them at least until the end of the series. So I don't know why many people freaked out because of the cliffhanger. If there is a cliffhanger involving a couple that drove me crazy, it was the one Suzanne Collins wrote in the end of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire book. Still, I did care about other things as well that might happen in the last book, Mockingjay, not only who the main character would end up with. That's what I love; that's what Riordan did in the first series and I loved it.

The problem could be either the author writes the romance from the wrong POV or he/she just can't write romance. I don't know what would it be if Rowling writes romance from a girl's POV one day. I have a feeling, though, that she would still screw up because the way she handles and ends her romance story. I still ship Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, of course. To be honest, though, I don't think I would love it even if she chose Harry/Hermione because of the way she writes romance.

Thank you for your attention :)

Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Ginny Weasley

Contrary to popular belief, I do not ship Harry Potter and Hermione Granger (Harmony) just because of the movies aka Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson's chemistry. Nope. It's only a bonus; it won't be the main reason why I ship (always will) Harry/Hermione. Many people also said that Harmony shippers (or Harmonians) hate Ron and Ginny for no apparent reason, or just because they end up together with Harry and Hermione. Um...

Wut.

SIRIUSLY. It's like saying I hate Harry Potter just because there's no Logan Lerman in it. It means whenever I see Harry Potter, I'll say,"UGH. Why do we have to watch this movie? It sucks! I hate Harry Potter. Why? Because there's no my baby Logan in it!" Sounds silly right?

"Hate" is a strong word, I won't use that word if you ask me something about Ron and Ginny. However, if you insist, I'd choose Ginny because of what Rowling did to her character in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" to "Deathly Hallows". It's a shame that Rowling wrote her as a fangirl (Philosopher's Stone until OotP), a girl who always saw Harry as "The Hero" and not himself, someone who didn't really understand/know Harry, and someone who became perfect in (almost, I think) everything in "Half-Blood Prince". Harry is the main character. That's why I think that if Rowling had always planned Harry to be with Ginny, she shouldn't write Ginny as a character who was basically only in the background or not important after "Chamber of Secrets". I think no one would complain if Ginny interacted with or had a role in Harry's adventures or life after CoS. Instead, Rowling chose Hermione, a girl who had always been with Harry when people around him weren't, no matter what happened.

As for Ron, I do not hate him, but I dislike him. Yep, I'm one of those people who think that there's a big difference between hating and disliking. Sure, Ron is a loyal and great friend, but I'm talking about Ron as a guy to be with Hermione. You really think that Ron and Hemione's bickering and fights are lovely? Their fights scream 'true love'? Fine, if that's what you think. In my opinion, their bickering is not romantic or lovely at all. Ron is immature, and it seems he still is in the last two books. Everytime Ron and Hermione bicker, Ron always wants to win. How many times has Ron made Hermione cry in the books? And how many times has Harry made Hermione cry? Oh please, do tell me. Sure, bickering couple can be cute sometimes. However, it's cute if the couple bicker over silly things, and then each of them will realize that it's stupid. Then, one or both of them will apologize to each other and they will be fine again. What about Ron and Hermione? I don't think that their fights are cute or lovely. And what about Hermione herself? She once tried to mention Ron's good traits/qualities, but she had a hard time in doing it. And Hermione's opinion about Harry? She praises Harry easily and oftenly, and vice versa.

If you think Harry/Ginny's undeveloped that does not make sense and Ron/Hermione's abusive (emotionally, verbally, even physically <HBP>) are romantic, lovely, and true love... fine. You accept everything Rowling said in her INTERVIEWS or wrote? Fine. Harmony shippers and I will always ship Harry/Hermione no matter what happened. You say that we ship Harmony just because of the movies? Nope, you're wrong. We have many proofs that Rowling herself wrote in the books (that I think she considered as something that made people didn't know about Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione). You throw the platonic quote and Rowling's INTERVIEWS at us? Well, we have loads of Harmony moments from THE BOOKS, not THE MOVIES. You say that we're delusional and crazy? Harmony shippers and I are proud to be delusional and crazy people.

Thank you for your attention~

One Plus One Equals Two..... and It IS the Only Way.

Mrs. Rowling: "1+1=2. Do you hear me, kids? Here's one finger, and here's the other. One plus one equals two! Get it? Now... Mia, can you repeat what I just said?"

Mia: "Here's my one finger, here's the other... one plus one equals two!"

Mrs. Rowling: "Good! What about you, Anna? Can you?"

Anna: *uses calculator* "One plus one equals two, Mrs. Rowling! There are other ways, though, ma'am. Three minus one also equals two! See? And five minus three−"

Mrs. Rowling: "No, no, no! Why are you using calculator?? Use your fingers! And didn't you listen to what I just said? It has to be one plus one!"

Anna: "But−"

Emerson: "Look ma'am, look! *raises hand* One plus one equals two!"

Mrs. Rowling: "Good boy... and you're using your fingers! Amazing."

Emerson: "You know, ma'am, I think those who don't use your way are delusional!"

Anna: "I'm sorry, what??"

Melissa: "Well, I agree. If you don't use Mrs. Rowling's way, it means you're delusional. Even crazy!"

Mrs. Rowling: *laughs*

Emerson: "See? Mrs. Rowling won't defend you or anything~"

John: "Delusional? Crazy?? But it makes sense! It's not only one-plus-one but there are other ways−"

Mrs. Rowling: "Well, if you don't use my way, I am really sure that you don't pay attention to what I say. One plus one equals two. No other ways. End of story."

Melissa: "Look, Mrs. Rowling! I record everything you said about one-plus-one-equals-two!"

Emerson: "Nice, Melissa!"

Mrs. Rowling: "Ooh, wonderful! Listen, kids, I wanna emphasize it one more time: one plus one equals two! If you're still not sure, you can listen to Melissa's recording. Still not sure? Just keep repeating it."

Anna: "Just because one plus one equals two, it doesn't mean that it's the only way to get the number 'two'. There are other ways, like six-minus-four−"

Emerson: *scoffs* "Delusional, crazy people everywhere!"

Melissa: "I know right? One plus one equals two, that's it! Anyway, if you don't use Mrs. Rowling's way, it means the 'one' number will be lonely. Other numbers will leave it alone and won't be friends with the 'one' number again!"

Mrs. Rowling: "My eyes just got teary. That was so beautiful, Melissa, Emerson."

Louis: "This is not fair. We're having different opinions, Mrs. Rowling. It's not like what Anna did and said is wrong. To get 'two', it doesn't have to be one-plus-one."

Mrs. Rowling: "Unfortunately, my way is the king here. I won't say anything even though you're only having different opinion. Plus, don't you remember my previous lessons?"

Louis: "I do. You've been talking about how to get the number 'two', but some of us obviously think and know that there are other ways−"

Emerson: "Ha! Delusional."

Melissa: "Yeah!" *laughs*

Mrs. Rowling: "Listen to Emerson and Melissa. Obviously, they pay attention to what I said and, most importantly, they only use my way! One plus one equals two."

John: "I can't believe it, Emerson. How could you? You guys are so rude."

Emerson: "What...? Er... no, uh... I'm sorry guys. I didn't mean anything, you know. See? I said I'm sorry. That'll do? We're friends again? Oh, joy."

Brad: "Just in case you guys didn't notice, you're the one who keeps saying 'delusional', Emerson."

Lissa: "You don't really mean it, do you?"

Emerson: *scoffs* "Whatever~"

Rachel: "Really, Mrs. Rowling? You won't say anything about this? Some of us are only having different opinions. It's obvious that the others have won this argument because...well, apparently we can't use other ways and we can't criticize Mrs. Rowling−"

Melissa: "Of course you can't! Mrs. Rowling is a genius and no one can say anything or criticize her. In fact, she is our Queen!"

Emerson: "Yeah, and she is always right!"

Mrs. Rowling: "Awwh my eyes got teary again. Thank you, Emerson, Melissa."

Louis: "Besides, Anna's right, you know. There are other ways. Anyway, do you really think that it's our fault if we have different opinions, Mrs. Rowling? It's our fault that we think there are other ways, not just yours? It's our fault that the other ways can be used as well? You don't think that there must be−"

Melissa: "If you want to keep talking about how your way is the only one, Mrs. Rowling, I think you can keep doing it in, like, interviews. Emerson and I would love to interview you!"

Emerson: "Great idea!"

Mrs. Rowling: "Not a bad idea. Well, I'll do it. I will keep talking about this stuff in interviews. In fact, I'll talk about other stuff too! The important ones or not, or the related stuff or not, I will. You know, Emerson, Melissa, I feel like I wanna write an epilogue about this−"

Emerson and Melissa: "Yay!"

Anna: "What?? Epilogue?! I can't imagine how bad it will be. What class is this anyway?"

Brad: "I don't know. Let's-agree-with-everything-Queen-Rowling-said-and-then-you-won't-be-attacked-and-are-not-delusional class, I suppose."

This is a random, lame and weird post, I know. It popped up in my mind this morning, and I just wanna post it :P

I hope you get the idea, though...

Thank you for your attention~ :3

How to Win a Debate Against Harry Potter/Hermione Granger (Harmony) Shippers aka Harmonians

First of all, I want to emphasize that the brother-sister relationship between Harry Potter and Hermione Granger is SO OBVIOUS. If you don't see why, then you are clearly delusional, crazy, dangerous..... you name it.

Alright. In this post, I just wanna mention some steps that you have to do if you wanna win any debate against those delusional people aka Harmony shippers or Harmonians. I mean, COME ON. 

First, explain how Ron Weasley & Hermione Granger and Harry Potter & Ginny Weasley are always meant to be together. As for Ron and Hermione (Romione), they are always so in love that we can see it clearly from they bickerings or fights. Of course, they always wanna hurt, don't respect or treat each other nicely, and even abuse each other verbally or physically. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is TRUE LOVE. Oh my God... I feel like I wanna cry because Ron/Hermione hurting each other's feelings is beautiful and lovely. Basically, bickering and hurting each other is the foundation of a healthy relationship! If the delusional shippers ask for proof why Romione's bickerings are lovely, just ignore them. Note to self: if there's someone who doesn't treat you nicely (and he/she is also immature), he or she is obviously your true love!

As for Harry and Ginny (Hinny), it is blatantly obvious that they are the definition of true love. Can't you see it? Harry basically ignored Ginny's existence after Chamber of Secrets; she's always in the background. Ginny said that she was over Harry *awwh* in Order of Phoenix and he didn't give a damn! Come on... they absolutely loved each other, right? It totally made sense that: Ginny said that she was over Harry and dated two guys, then she said she actually wasn't! I mean, there's no way Ginny only 'used' Michael and Dean only to make Harry jealous or to forget about him. Plus, Ginny's character doesn't have any flaws in Half-Blood Prince! Yeah, she IS that awesome. If any delusional people say that Ginny Weasley is a Mary Sue and they love the old Ginny, just ignore them. It also totally makes sense that Queen Rowling basically ignored her character in the first books and...BAM. She was suddenly perfect in Half-Blood Prince! Man, that is really true love. Note to self: if one day I fangirl over a guy, I only have to don't care if he ignores me and just wait because one day he will be my true love! *squee*

Second, if those delusional people aka Harmonians start giving and explaining good points, just use those beautiful and cool words utterred by our one and only, Emerson Spartz (from Mugglenet): delusional! Even Melissa Anelli (from The Leaky Cauldron) agreed, and Queen J.K. Rowling did too! I mean, Queen Rowling laughed along with Emerson and Melissa in that interview. She didn't even defend those delusional people or say anything to stop Emerson calling the Harmony shippers delusional! I agree, they are delusional and indeed crazy. I love that Emerson sort of *giggles* apologized to Harmonians for calling them delusional. Why? Because he must not be serious! Why should he apologize anyway? He was nice, kind, hilarious, and not mean for calling Harmony shippers delusional just because they have different opinion and criticize Queen Rowling's works. I bet Emerson was more like:

"Alright, alright... there, I say I'm sorry. That'll do? You forgive me? You love me again now? We're friends again? Yay."

With a facial expression like:

Ha! So evil~ <3

Who cares if those delusional people are hurt by J.K. Rowling, Melissa, and Emerson's words? Why should they, especially our Queen Rowling, apologize to those delusional people? Queen Rowling is always right, she is a genius! I think it's great that J.K. Rowling didn't (and still doesn't) apologize or clear things up. In fact, she also basically said that Harry-and-Hermione-could-have-been-a-couple. I don't think it's confusing, she's J.K. Rowling, remember? No one should criticize and point out her works' flaws & plot holes. She IS always right. If there's anyone to blame, it's Harry Potter/Hermione Granger shippers. I agree with everything in the interview: the delusional people have to reread the books! In fact, I also agree that these delusional people don't read the books. Ha. It also makes sense that J.K. Rowling thought (and still does!) Harmonians should reread the books, but Queen Rowling herself doesn't. Why? Like I said: she IS always right.

Third, if the delusional shippers say that Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny shippers are always double standards, just ignore them! Any Harry/Hermione scenes, in the books or movies, are always brother-sister or platonic. If these delusional and crazy shippers start swapping Harry with Ron or Hermione with Ginny, just ignore them. If any scene involves Harry/Hermione, it is platonic. It HAS to be. Why? Well, because it is what Queen Rowling always says. However, if those Harry/Hermione scenes (in form of pictures, dialogues, or passages) are swapped (Harry is swapped with Ron / Hermione is swapped with Ginny), OF COURSE those Harry/Hermione scenes scream true love! Those platonic/brother-sister scenes will be shippy moments as long as they are swapped to be Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny. Does it mean Romione and Hinny are always double standards? Of course not. :3

Fourth, if you start losing the debate against these delusional people, you should find the she-is-like-my-sister quote by Harry from the book. I am sure that platonic quote will win against the proofs Harmonians have. Siriusly. I am absolutely freaking sure that she-is-like-my-sister = she-and-I-are-totally-from-the-same-parents. So, if Harry/Hermione got together, they'd be incest! These delusional people may say that they have many proofs in forms of dialogues and quotations from the book, or even from Harry Potter movies. They even say that Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson had a greater chemistry compared to Emma/Rupert Grint and Daniel/Bonnie Wright! Well, guess what... we have that platonic quote from the book! Still don't work?? You should find the related-with-Hinny-and-Romione interviews which involve J.K. Rowling, and quote them! I mean, who cares if Harmony shippers say that they want Queen Rowling to actually write Hinny/Romione's romances and character development in the books? J.K. Rowling had explained all of them in THE INTERVIEWS! Who cares about character development? Who cares if Harmonians say that Rowling violates or ignores the "show, don't tell" writing rule? Like I said, Queen Rowling IS always right! Hinny and Ronmione happened in the books and are canon anyway. Who cares if it's just that Harmony shippers have different opinions? They are wrong, delusional, and crazy!

All you have to do is do the steps I've mentioned and explained, then those delusional people will look stupid! Who cares if they have good points or proofs? Who cares if they try to explain their essays nicely? Who cares if most Harry Potter movie directors and crews ship Harry/Hermione? Who cares if Daniel and Emma have a great chemistry? Who cares about incontinuity in Queen Rowling's writing? Hinny and Romione happened, they're canon, they're what J.K. Rowling wrote. Bickering and fangirling obsession are obviously true love. You have a different opinion? You are no doubt, crazy, delusional, and even dangerous. End of story. Let's call these Harry/Hermione shippers delusional and crazy even though Romione and Hinny happened & canon. It's not enough that we got what we wanted and we've basically won the ship war, but these delusional people didn't, isn't it? Why? Well, Queen Rowling loves ship wars, so why shouldn't we? Let's mock and hate the Harmonians, shall we? :3

Oh my God. I can not believe what I just typed.

I know that I exaggerate some parts but come on... I can't help it. The TEMPTATION.

Huh.

Me: "Hey, Harry, Hermione!"

Harry and Hermione: "Yeah?"

Me: "I still ship and love you guys."

Harry and Hermione: "Really? But you just posted about..."

Me: "Ah, I see. Well, pretty sure you know that I was just...um..."

Harry and Hermione: "Ooh!"

Me: "Yup!"

Harry and Hermione: "So you still ship us? We're still your OTP?"

Me: "Of course! :3" *squee*

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger's Relationship = Brother-Sister...NOT.

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Things I’d do if they did get together in the end... *sighs* Unfortunately, Rowling cared (and still does) about the stupid idea called as One Big Happy Weasley Family or OBHWF more compared to actually created a (logical) form of true love or pairings. I admit that I didn’t ship any couple before I read Half-Blood Prince. I didn’t even know that the book, which is called as Half-Arsed Plot by fellow Harmony shippers, was about twu lurv.

Yeah, twu lurv!

I don’t really remember the details of the plot because I haven’t read the book for a long time, but many people say that it’s actually bad because of info dumps, the twu lurvs, the OOC-ness of the characters (mainly Hermione), and most importantly........the one and only, Ginevra “Ginny” Sue Weasley. Pretty sure I don’t have to explain why I put “Sue” as Ginny’s middle name :P

I knew that Harry would get another love interest from the synopsis, but I did not expect that romance would be the main focus of this book. On top of that, Harry’s new love interest was Ginny Weasley... who was suddenly a Mary Sue. I remember correctly what happened when I read that Harry suddenly had a crush on Ginny. I was like:

The Misuse of "Literally"

First of all, I would like to say that I'm terribly sorry if there is any grammatical mistakes in this post ._. I'm still learning and improving my English skill, so... yeah :| It doesn't mean that I will post everything in English though :3

Alright. "Literally", huh?
It always pisses me off whenever someone misuses the word "literally", and honestly I don't even know why. Maybe it's because I know that the word shouldn't be used that way. Sometimes I wonder why the non-native English native speakers like me are the ones who are bothered by this kind of issue or know that it's a misuse, but the native ones are not. I think sites like tumblr or Twitter are the ones where the misuse of "literally" is spread and happened in the first place. Honestly though, I guess I can't say that because I don't have a tumblr account ._.
