"She has experience with a relationship that failed at the highest level (matrimony)."
gloatation is back. Since it's been almost a year since they were active, the brief history:
gloatation is an OBHWF sockpuppet who quietly catalogued H/Hr shippers' assertations and predictions for a couple years before HBP, then leaked the LJ during the HBP aftermath.
gloatation has a major axe to grind. But damnit, they find funny stuff.
Feb 16: The return of Gloatation is about current Harmonian predictions. Par for course glurge. You all know how those go.
I'm mostly pointing to the second post, though.
Feb. 18: Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Romance⦠...I learned from the Holes thread at Harmony Forever on Valentine's Day! Read and weep over how JKR is destroying the future marriages of our children. It's all very personal and angry, but hands-down, the most hysterical quotation is this:
Flucias: I have often rationalized away the Heron arguments as made by pretty much kids, children who have had no clue as to what love really is. Ah, we can't fault them; they are clueless, having had no real or meaningful experience. It was alarming to discover that quite a few of the people sprouting that rubbish are adults. I shudder to think of the quality of their lives, romantic or otherwise.
I don't want to hope for the ending that I feel is best and which is the only logical conclusion (IMO), because I don't want to get invested in this series again. But at the same time, there is the undeniable fact that Miss Rowling is the mother of two daughters. And not only that, but she is a divorcee. She has experience with a relationship that failed at the highest level (matrimony). For her to put this stuff out there as the final word would not only be utterly irresponsible, but hypocritical as well, and detrimental to her own female children [Not to mention her son! "Like a girl? Then, hey, treat her like crap!"]. If only for the sake of those two girls, I hope that that isn't what she is doing. Because imagine your own mother promoting such a relationship to you as what R/Hr and H/G promotes?
