Malfoy vs. Boot: Where Do YOU Stand?
Mood: thoughtful

I have to say that I'm really, really curious about where everyone stands on this duel issue.

So, dudes... who do you support? Draco Malfoy or that bootlicking, purple bean-loving freak Terry Boot?


All right, now, I've been thinking about this. I've been thinking about it over and over and over again and I just don't get it, so I figured this would be the best place to ask.

Question: Why the hell would anyone support Boot over Malfoy?

I just don't understand how that's at all possible!

I mean, honestly!
boot_boy? Better than potterstinks? What's the deal?

I am such a bad person. -.-


*hums* XD

Boot! I enjoy his flirting with M.B. so very much.

And you've gotta consider the hurt/comfort possibilities if potterstinks loses. *g* Why fight for a girl when we know where his heart truly lies?

No, leave the bananas for potterstinks! He needs to practice... certain things. :D We all know he isn't really allergic...

elite_stoat @ April 9 2003, 02:07:04 UTC

*coughs* It's funny, actully, that should say that Terry should eat apples when earlier ( http://www.livejournal.com/community/nraged/40675.html?thread=531683#t531683 ), I called Draco an apple. Meaning that Terry should... :>

But anyway, what if he really IS allergic? Surely we cannot put the poor boy's health at risk just for simple... er... practice...

(parent)

delfeus @ April 9 2003, 02:27:07 UTC

NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO! No one besides just_harry will get a taste of potterstinks... Boot-boy better stick to grapes then.

Well, okay. Maybe we should give him cucumbers?

elite_stoat @ April 9 2003, 02:53:04 UTC

Good point.

... That poor, disadvantaged boy, Boot. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

I think both boys could use more practice, though. Perhaps just_harry could help the Great Draco Malfoy improve even more... you know... with his... handling of... his wand, and things. Yes. Things.

(parent)

ishuca @ April 9 2003, 04:16:53 UTC

almost, you're right. but i suppose if worse comes to worse he can have M.B. whip him into shape.

yes, i think just_harry is perfect for the job of tutoring draco. after all, he's quite experienced at wielding his own wand, if rumors are to be believed.

things, indeed. =^-^=

kat99999 @ April 9 2003, 02:18:27 UTC

It's a bit of a dilemma for me, actually.

For Boot:
1. Boot wears eyeliner. I have difficulty resisting a boy in makeup.
2. He and M.B. - theirloveissodrywitted.
3. Just- LJ icon doesn't hurt. *g*
4. Someone pointed out earlier, if he wins then potterstinks may seek comfort from a certain source... heeh.

For Draco:
1. He's Draco.
2. His second is a painting, which is just so cute in my opinion.
3. Uh.. well, he's Draco. Did I mention that?

You see my trauma, of course. *roots temporarily for M.B.*

elite_stoat @ April 9 2003, 02:20:57 UTC

hunin_munin @ April 9 2003, 05:07:38 UTC Why choose one?

I'm rather torn between the two myself. I adore Terry, but then, I adore Draco as well. This is so difficult. I have to agree with kat99999 on the make-up bit, it is so very hard for me to resist a man in make-up, not to mention a writer of poems, goth, and so manly to boot! (alas, I could not help myself) However, then there is Draco. So very difficult to choose, so stricken am I that I would have to make a choice.
....
Eh, officially, I would have to lay my money on Boot, but much of my support goes to Draco. Poor Draco seems so burnt out already. Can you imagine what a defeat to a purple jelly bean eating Ravenclaw (speaking of which, Terry-dear, if you read this, do you think you could get me some of those? i'm having a party this weekend) would do to him? I wonder if he would still be ignored if it were to happen?
I do believe that M.B., the darling, has some plans either way it turns out.
Either way, I will be using both icons in my support of the two.

greenapricot @ April 9 2003, 05:44:21 UTC

How to choose between two such wonderfully snarky boys? I'm so torn. There's the whole h/c if PS looses J_H can make it all better angle, but then Draco has had such a shitty time of it lately I'd hate to see him loose. He needs to win something. But then if he wins all the Boot supporters will be angry with him again like with the detentions (more so I'd imagine than the Draco supporters would be angry at Boot) and the last thing PS needs is more flack from Colin. But it is Draco, can't resist Draco, especially with all those lovely pictures he keeps coming up with. Yup, Draco it is (though I wouldn't mind seeing him in eyeliner).

But what I'd really like to see is J_H's reaction to all this. Will he finally voice his true feelings or maybe jump in if Sir Cardogan isn't quite up to snuff? I sure hope so. Saturday seems such a long way away.

Draco all the way. Why?

Well, I love Terry. But his reputation isn't on the line here. M.B. has stated she can not be impressed and...she's right. She can't be. Winning this duel will get Terry here nor there with M.B.

Draco, otoh, must prove himself a man for his own true love. And besides, he *did* duel well against Harry second year, headstart not withstanding. If Terry can beat him Terry's *this close* to being able to duel Harry.

Go Draco.

katrionaa @ April 9 2003, 07:43:20 UTC

Boot because he doesn't have to have his mummy come out and defend him.

anjaliesque @ April 9 2003, 14:35:24 UTC

Boot, I think. It's not that I like him better than Draco, they're both absolutely hilarious, but that I think Draco needs to be taken down a few pegs. Yes, I know he's already pretty bitter, but I don't think it's as angsty as it could get. Yes, there's the possible hurt-comfort option featuring just_harry, but I'm not really depending on that. I don't think that Terry could do anything devastating either. I just think that a minor defeat at Terry's hands might be enough to ground Draco, to really make him examine himself past all the sarcasm and avoidance. That that's what he needs. Actually, now that I think of it, I think it'd work even better if Draco beats the drunk-on-purple-beans Boot and then Dean stepped up and beat him. Because I don't have too much faith in Boot winning, but I think that Dean really has the cool anger (not crazed like Colin's) and personal motives (not all poncy in defense of M.B. like Boot) to deal Draco a real blow.

Either that, or Draco and Terry Stupefy each other in the first minute and it all comes down to the riveting battle of Thomas vs. Cadogan. :)

black_dog @ April 9 2003, 18:58:16 UTC

Another possible take on this is to ask -- not, who would you support, but who would you lay odds on? Boot's challenge seems to have welled up out of some gorgeous, theater-of-the-mind stoner haze, and your professional oddsmaker has to wonder how his wand-to-hex coordination is holding up after all those purple beans. PS, on the other hand, comes to the whole encounter with a pure, clearheaded rage, and a massive chip on his shoulder, a desperate need to make up for recent humiliations. I'd expect a better fight from the person who had more at stake -- and that's PS, I think.
