You know, I've noticed that "romantic" HP fics in general seem to have a lot of rape which is pretty disturbing when you consider the age of the main characters. But I hate fics in general that romanticize rape. Not saying I've never written fics involving rape, because I have, but never for the purpose of kicking off a romantic relationship. Instead, I use it as a tool for examing the impact of violence/guilt on existing relationships or on a character's development/growth and then only sparingly (and more or less entirely off screen). Granted, I studied rape for my undergrad thesis and have studied rape/sexual abuse on and off since so I maybe take it more seriously than a lot of people who've never had any firsthand experience with it, but it takes a real idiot to assume that rape's a good prelude to love (kind of like saying getting the shit beat out of you by your father on a routine basis translates into a loving and respectful relationship with him as an adult) *shakes head*

I mean, from a realtistic point of view, even if a girl that age is raped by a third party and a male teacher is there to comfort her and help her heal, that's not likely to become a healthy relationship because the girl's so traumatized. At best>/i>, she decides the male teacher, too, wants something and shuts out his attempts to help...

Seriously, Druitt's crazy-sexy along the lines of Hannibal Lector. You know he killed all those people, but he's so charming that it's just like total cognitive dissonance. You're relatively sure he wouldn't kill YOU but, at the same time... *head explodes*

Yeah, killing Watson was total fail although the writers have said they'd like to bring him back in season 3 *bounces* ... I so wish they'd taken Clara and not just because I ship Watson with everone on the show who has a pulse and isn't Henry or Ashley. Tesla's fun in a "guy you hate to love" way. Again, like Druitt, you know he could kill you in a heartbeat, but he's just as likely to turn on the charm and/or snark. (Tesla gives Will severe headaches in my role-play between the charm, the snark, and the questionable loyalties). Also, you totally have to love Tesla for the whole "geek who could kick your ass" angle. I am a huge Watson fangirl, but it's been years since he's kicked any ass, lol

Connor/Abby was always sweet, but it was hard to get invested in because it was never dreadfully mature. Not that I could really get behind any of the ships on Primeval *shrug* Just kind of shallower characterizations than I've come to expect from British programming so you don't really care about the characters as much, probably

I'm sorry you're just a plain old Slytherin. I found my result amusing because, whenever I've taken one of those tests in the past, I sort into either Slytherin or Ravenclaw dependent upon my mood when I take the test. So sorting into both was oddly affirming. Like the test was saying "evil, but clever about it" ;p Tell you what, plain old Slytherin. When I take over the world, you can run my secret police. Seems the kind of job a Slytherin would excell at ;p

*hugs you*
