Potterstinks loves the romance novels. I did some digging, by which I mean I went to amazon.com and typed in "Patriot's passion", and noticed that it's not a critical success like the last one. A little more investigative digging, however (by which I mean, clicking on the author's name) reveals that the author gets high customer ratings, so while it's obscure, we're not talking about TOTAL trash, as far as trashy romance novels go.

More intruiging is the whole Potter deal. First he's sitting with him in potions (can I get a squee-squee?) then he's banging Harry's head against the wall? Or is there some more subtle, squeeworthy cause of head banging? (like a snog)

Okay, so. He talks about food and says "Let us not forget, of course, that most chicken leaves one's fingers slippery and unclean." And lettuce remember that lettuce doesn't. Yes, I know I should let it rest.

On Topic Tangent! Cannibalism and death obsession!

Draco is a very very morbid guy. Why doesn't he like ham? Because it's like eating human flesh. Chicken? It tears itself apart and leaves a residue of death (also known as greasy goodness). Now, he was quite morbid about his grandmother's death, returning to her body over and over. This is something beyond his normal OCD yucky things issue, it shows an obsession with death. It's not exactly notmal to associate eating ham with tearing off human flesh, though I would not know because I eat neither ham nor human flesh. While Millicent may be all about the innuendo, Draco seems all obsessed with the taste of flesh.

What this morbidity will engender, I'm not sure, though.

(parent)

notapipe @ June 18 2003, 04:10:32 UTC

Addendum: One possible effect this may have is on his views to death eaters, which seem to be less appreciative nowadays. Besides the obvious Death EATERS association, there's the fact that Death Eaters actively perpetuate this killing. If Draco was hit very hard by the reality of his grandmother's death, his morbid thoughts seem to indicate an empathy with death, of all stripes and bloods. Perhaps this is yet another indication of his shift from support of the Death Eaters and his father's unscrupulous line of work, and by extentsion, taking down some of the illusions about his father in the process.

(parent)

sheron @ June 18 2003, 08:23:16 UTC

Yes, I also thought of the whole Death Eater name as I read about meat/chicken and what it might mean for Draco. Not only does he seem to be saying that he finds the idea "unapetizing" but he has recently accused Ron of being a Death Eater, and I can't help but think that these are somehow related.

(parent)

Draco seems to be obsessed with death. Well, every teenager thinks about it considering his or her aim in life but he mentions it too often I think.

black_dog @ June 18 2003, 04:14:56 UTC

I'm not sure either, but wow, PS is a psychoanalyst's dream case, isn't it? I mean, we know he has issues with sex, and with the female body in particular. But he's really charging himself up here, with oddly sensual images of how ham and chicken rip apart, with how the skin of tomatoes slides off the flesh.

This sounds to me like someone who's thinking, obsessively, about what bodies feel like, invoking thoughts of skin sliding over muscle, imagining the physical vulnerability of flesh, and trying to find a language or a set of images to capture and describe it. Yes, he's transforming it in odd ways, but there's fascination as well as disgust here. And it's a fascination that feels like it's based on some tentative experience, which is why I continue to think PS and JH have done a bit more than talk during their nights together.

theantimodel @ June 18 2003, 18:34:40 UTC

Oh this is just the ultimate squicky topic for me. I love that Millicent's cat is a vegetarian even though she obviously, is not one. But really, the things PS said are all of the reasons why I cannot eat meat. And I second black_dog's comments about PS being a psychoanalyst's dream. Really I've gotta wonder what's going on in that head of his. He certainly is a walking mass of seeming contradictions.

I mean he seems to be questioning the DE's but he still shunned his mother when he thought she might not be pureblooded (although maybe that was more personal). Very interesting.

I think Ron's assuming the same thing. We have hints that Ron once covered for a fight between PS and JH by pretending he had accidentally punched Harry on being woken up. I think he assumes there was some rough snogging against the wall, and that JH and PS are making up a cover story. But poor Ron is wrong so often . . .

sheron @ June 18 2003, 08:26:45 UTC

Another parallel I thought of was the whole "outing" fiasco. Draco told Ron he wouldn't be making things up, and then told him to ask Harry. Meanwhile, Draco didn't appear to even believe Harry was gay.
I thought that's what Ron's comments of "not falling for it again" are about.

He fought for her with passion...and won her heart with love!

PASSIONATE REBEL

Supplying the British soldiers with faulty footwear was Maggie Myer's small but satisfying way of helping her fellow Patriots fight for independence. But when the beautiful bootmaker was caught stealing enemy supplies by Redcoat captain Grayson Thayer, she knew she'd finally landed in big trouble. For the tall, breathtakingly handsome officer would not be easy to elude...and after looking into his piercing blue eyes and feeling the heat of his lean, hard embrace, Maggie wasn't sure escape was what she wanted. He said he'd free her for the price of a kiss, but somehow Maggie knew that once his lips met hers, she'd belong to him forever!

ENTICING ENEMY

Grayson Thayer was living a lie. Seven years was long enough to gather information for the rebels while pretending to be a loyal officer in His Majesty's army. If only he could tell Maggie the truth...not that she'd care. The little mercenary would sell her wares to either side for a profit. Not the sort of woman a man could trust, but trust had little to do with pleasure. He would sample the silken wonders of her creamy flesh, taste the wild honey of her beckoning lips, and leave her trembling with the sensual power of a PATRIOT'S PASSION.

Yes, I could not agree more! Also, I hope Draco enjoys the slashy undertones between Captain Grayson Thayer and Private Michaels, the cute young British lad who aids him in dressing, Knows He Likes His Quiet, babbles endearingly when paid attention to, and constantly stares enviously at Maggie!



Grayson slipped into his coat and reached for Michaels, who was standing just outside the circle of light that poured from Grayson's open tent. "Michaels?"

The blond-haired boy looked up. "Sir?"

Maggie could hear the strain in Grayson's voice as he tried to find the right words. "Son, do what you have to with what you heard tonight, but I want you to remember..." He paused, glancing away before forcing himself to look into Michaels' teary eyes. "I want you to remember that no matter what happens, no matter what you think of me, I love you." Grayson threw his arms around the boy and hugged him tightly.

The private lowered his head to Grayson's shoulder, clenching him tightly.

sheron @ June 18 2003, 08:47:37 UTC and another thing.

I'm puzzled over why Harry apparently told Draco he was going to "meet his maker". What could have made Harry that angry?

I hope Draco didn't block him from commenting to his journal since "mashed carrots" annoy him so much, or something.

And on an entirely different train of thought...how is it possible to block someone from commenting when you're trying to add them to the "list of special commenting privileges"? I think Draco is lying and he really didn't want to associate with Narcissa when he thought she wasn't pure-blood. This somehow makes his prejudice against Muggle-born much worse for me. Because if he'd been willing to bend his prejudices a bit for his mother it would have shown them to be more flexible then they apparently are in reality.
I sometimes wonder how low he would have to sink before I will stop considering him worthy of anyone's affection, including mine.

Could they really, actually, be having a physical relationship?

I just discovered NA a few weeks ago, so it's granted that I don't know all the history of this community, but I had thought the vibes between ps and j_h lately were maybe just friendly and flirtatious. Pre-relationshippy, you know?

I was rather hoping that when there was a "first encounter" of a more physical kind that the subtext would become, well, text, to satisy the squealing fangirls. Ahem. *points to self*

(parent)

notapipe @ June 18 2003, 17:26:47 UTC

First, a little history lesson in case you need it. Way back when, at Remus's party, Harry kissed Draco while horribly drunk (which Draco thought was just because Harry was a sloppy drunk, because we don't find out about that until the outing), and Draco went all het after that. Then after being friends, Draco outed Harry, and then after a while there was an apparent resolution and Draco, for possibly the first time ever, was "fine" rather than enraged and Harry didn't finish his speech he was to be writing that night. I think that there's evidence that it's probably not just pre-relationship.

As for becoming text, there are a number of factors in that, such as Lucius, who does not appear to be very encouraging of Draco's friendship with Harry, much less sex. And when Ron suggested that they're in a relationship, they acted rather... scared, really. I think that Draco wants to keep it a secret, so he won't bring it to text level if it happens.

(parent)

Anonymous @ June 18 2003, 17:33:34 UTC no kiss I think

I don't think Harry actually kissed him, just drunkenly admitted to wanting to do so, and Draco didn't really take it at face value at the time, just trotted it out later as ammunition for another of his so charming displays of petty cruelty.

Yeah, I've gone back and read about the drunken comeon, algae stains, the hideous outing, and "fine." And I get the need for secrecy, I really do. I guess I just wish (selfishly) that at some point, everything will be out in the open so we can finally know certain things, like why, exactly, was he "fine?" What caused the resolution between them after the outing? What was this most recent freak-out about (post-tea party with Seamus)? And did Draco jump Harry in the halls yesterday and snog him against the wall? OK, I'm calm. ;)

Here's the part where not having a complete grasp on the history of this game comes into play: As far as I can tell, NA wasn't designed for the purpose of having an "audience," am I right? So the fact is, if there are mysteries in the plot of the game, we may just never know the answers? Has this happened in the past, where you could tell by the discussion that something important happened on a certain day, but none of the relevant players ever commented openly about it?

(parent)

shusu @ June 18 2003, 18:13:30 UTC

The fact that we wonder about it and obsess over it indicates that it is indeed designed for an audience. Moreso than other RPGs. The presence of a healthy and absurdly secure backstage indicates there is a front, and where there is a front, there must be someone looking at it. Us! :D

My RPG is designed mainly for the players. Everything is obvious. We show private entries. The players and audience are omniscient but the narrative can be sacrificed for the player's wishes. It can get didactic at times.

The advantage is that we players do what we enjoy, without having to worry about a greater plan or plot. If the audience also enjoys it, then it's a happy fluke.

NA, on the other hand, has severe Hitchcock tendencies, including the disturbed blond. We can hear the ticking but the bomb is under our desk...

Anonymous @ June 18 2003, 18:11:40 UTC It's nearly time for Harry's annual showdown...

Not that I don't doubt that Draco is finicky about food and that something probably did happen with Harry in the halls, but I read so much of this as thinly veiled references to Death Eaters and such.

Food and dead flesh and he doesn't care for eating that.
"hunted me like an evil overlord"
"his head doesn't have the soft spot that most babies appear to"

I cannot figure if he actually means anything by this or going anywhere with it, though. Perhaps he is just having fun by flirting with dangerous ideas and striding about where angels fear to tread again? Much like the whole TBTL gags. (Harry&Millicent, I am rightfully alone in my OTP)

Or perhaps this is more hinting at events to come that is almost meta?

"Someone is going to die"

I wonder if someone dies in Book5 if N_A will kill them off as well. Or perhaps if N_A had its own Voldemort attack if they'd kill off one of the players. I wonder if divinepavarti actually had a vision rather than a bad dream and was feeling some echo of Harry's head pains and perhaps he should avoid rocks and fish.

wonder. wonder. wonder.

"Someone is going to die."

I was just noticing this! I'd like to think these are meta prophecies. The Evil Overlord reference is definitely suspicious, but I can't figure out why the fontanel reference should have to do with the DEs. Is he calling Harry a baby?

I think since NA is already an AU, whoever is killed in Book V will go on living here ... but I don't discount the idea that there will be a DE attack in the NA world with casualties coming soon.

Not the fontanel per se, just the idea of Harry's head as a baby being particularly strong. (Voldemort's rebounded curse etc etc)

Check out the post order.

Draco says: Please Potter, I'm in the greenhouses.

Then right after Harry says: Bye!

And they've stopped commenting. *eyebrow waggle*

Your sarcasm tags disappeared. <hint>If use the tags striaght up, it will treat them as bad tags and hide them. Instead use &.l.t.; (remove the .s) and you'll get the greater than sign (<)</hint>

Where indeed? You asked for text? This is probably about as risque as Code-era Hollywood could have gotten, and it might still be over that line.

And I am so gratified right now with the text (and subtext) in this post! Ask and ye shall receive. ;)

It appears Draco's got an orange fetish, or at least carrots. I suppose it could be worse: He could have a yellow fetish and find Hufflepuffs irresistable (I wonder if that would make Justin happy).

More of the usual. If there is even the slightest bit of inneundo there then Harry is going to get lucky tonight.

And Draco knows Harry is a leo *squee*

Oh, the flirting, how doth I love thee.

That's probably just because Trelawny said that Harry was born under the sign of the lion (Leo).

And now Draco is calling Trelawney on her fakery and telling her to bugger off. XD

notapipe @ June 18 2003, 22:22:20 UTC

Harry's response is better. And also much less intelligent, because he's going to be going into a final from her in couple of days on a very subjective and fuzzy "science".

The thing I would like to point out is that the way Sibbyl (I can't spell her last name) puts it makes it sound like Harry and Draco are star crossed lovers set to die early for their love. Not that she wouldn't be all over that either. However, I think her threats would be more persuasive if she followed through on them more often.

Neville highlights the really important name explanation, his. I'm very impressed by his honesty, at least. He's very upfront about the conclusive evidence which shows his true colors (purple and evil, purple of course being the royal color, fit for a dark lord (which doesn't suit Harry very well)).
