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*

Seri Novel "The Mortal Instruments" oleh Cassandra Clare = Hasil Plagiarisme/Plagiat?

Aku memang baru-baru ini aja mengenal nama Cassandra Clare, atau yang sebenarnya adalah Cla(i)re. Namun, ternyata bukan rahasia lagi kalo nama Cassie Cla(i)re adalah nama yang cukup terkenal di kalangan Potterheads−sebutan untuk para penggemar atau fans setia novel seri Harry Potter. Ternyata juga bukan rahasia lagi bahwa Cassandra atau Cassie mengganti nama belakangnya menjadi ‘Clare’ karena ia takut situs-situs forum-forum yang membongkar soal kasus plagiarisme nya akan muncul di hasil pencarian namanya di internet.

Ya, plagiarisme. Plagiat. Jiplakan. Ngejiplak..... you name it. Sebelum sampai di kasus plagiarisme, mari bahas tentang Cassie terlebih dahulu. Dulu, Cassie Claire (sekarang diganti menjadi Clare) termasuk salah satu penulis cerita yang terkenal di situs fanfiction. Apa itu fanfiction?

Fanfiction adalah situs tempat di mana kita bisa mem-posting cerita-cerita yang kita tulis berdasarkan entah dari novel, TV Series, atau film. Contohnya, di seri novel Harry Potter, Harry dan Hermione Granger akhirnya kan nggak jadian *nangis* Trus, aku menulis cerita di mana Harry dan Hermione saling jatuh cinta dan akhirnya jadian. Setelah itu, aku mem-posting cerita yang aku karang di situs fanfiction. Cerita yang aku tulis ini, yang bisa dikategorikan kedalam beberapa macam genre (romance, adventure, sci-fi, humor, dll), bisa singkat atau panjang banget hingga bisa dibagi menjadi beberapa chapter. Orang-orang yang membaca cerita tulisanku itu bisa memberikan review singkat dalam bentuk komentar dan juga mem-favoritkannya.

Cassie terkenal di kalangan Potterheads dengan beberapa cerita yang ia tulis, seperti Draco Trilogy,  Mortal Instruments, The Very Secret Diaries, dll. Namun, Cassie akhirnya bisa dibilang didepak dari komunitas fanfiction ini. Kenapa? Karena Cassie melanggar salah satu (kayaknya sih ada banyak aturannya) aturan yang harus diikuti para penulis fanfiction. Kalo misalnya ada yang salah atau kurang dari hasil pengamatanku ini, tolong beri tahu ya :) Apa aturan yang dilanggar? Disclaimer.

Harry Potter dan Hermione Granger = Cuma Sebatas Hubungan Kakak-Adik.....Yang Bener Aja.

[SPOILER ALERT untuk yang belum membaca novel seri Harry Potter sampai tamat :)]

Pada dasarnya, yang aku mau katakan adalah hubungan Harry Potter dan Hermione Granger bukan seperti kakak-adik. Sampai kapanpun. Ada sedikit kecurigaan yang muncul di pikiranku bahwa tadinya Rowling memang kepengen akhirnya Harry sama Hermione, tapi... ya, tau lah. Jelas banget kalo Rowling pengeeeeeeen banget setiap novel2 Harry Potter punya plot yang ya-ampun-ternyata-kayak-begini-toh-jadinya-nggak-nyangka-yah-ya-ampuuuuun. Bukan rahasia lagi kan kalo Rowling sering ngecek2 teori2 para fans, khususnya Potterheads, di internet? Jadi ya gitu, dugaanku adalah ada yang menebak Harry-pasti-akhirnya-bakal-jadian-sama-Hermione, trus Rowling kelabakan, akhirnya terciptalah ide konyol yang disebut Satu Keluarga Besar Weasley Yang Bahagia alias OBHWF. 

Permisi, mau muntah dulu ya...

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:

A [Indonesian] Fanfiction Review: "Just Breathe"

Harry dan Hermione, OTP non-canon (apa benar itu istilahnya? ._.) yang selalu menjadi pilihan utama ku dalam pairings di seri Harry Potter. Kapan-kapan, aku bakal mencurahkan (?) perasaan dan pendapatku soal mereka dan Hinny (EWWW. Sorry, I have to say it ._.). Dua orang ini membuatku terkadang berandai2: seandainya ada mesin waktu dan aku punya pintu kemana saja, aku bakal kembali ke masa lalu untuk membombardir J.K. Rowling dengan jutaan alasan kenapa mereka musti jadian.

Siriusly, man. Kupikir hanya karena Rowling (kayaknya) kepengen: 1. Tidak mengikuti stereotip kalo tokoh utama cowok bakal jadian dengan tokoh utama cewek atau 2. Membuat Harry dekat dengan keluarga Weasley, bukan berarti bakalan berhasil/bisa ditangani dengan baik. IMHO, kalau ada salah satu kekurangan yang menonjol dari Rowling adalah romance. Mengenai kemungkinan yang no. 2, apakah kalo Harry nggak menikah dengan Ginny, apa itu artinya dia bakal menjauh dari keluarga Weasley? Nope.

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 ._.
