I really don't care WHAT people ship. Live and let live.
Word. I actually figured as much, but still it was a little disconcerting. We probably couldn't have had more opposite answers even if we tried!
And I like the idea of Harry/Ginny, but I just didn't like the way Jo did it. You were right--it came off as hero-worship. I feel like she should have done it better justice.
Sigh. There's a LOT of things she didn't do justice. My poor Tonks is one of them. I'm sure if it had been handled differently, I wouldn't have minded nearly as much. But the hero-worship/waiting-for-your-crush-to-notice-you thing is totally a pet peeve. As Rowling wrote it, Harry/Luna made so much more sense and would have been far sweeter.
Unless Aang REALLY grew up and stopped being so selfish, Toph's too good for him.
You know, I have trouble imagining what kind of adult Aang would be. All the others, even the side characters, it's easy to imagine who they grow up to be. But Aang seemed to be getting younger as the series went on. I just can't see him being the sort of solid person that Toph could depend on. Sokka, on the other hand, could be exactly the kind of guy that would compliment her.
The only relationship I can really imagine for Aang would be with someone quiet and meek. Someone that's younger who's (dare I say it?) nursing a case of hero-worship!
