The Babbling Fun Continues

babb_chronicles continues being a source of great joy. My favourite for today is the following quote:

hagrid teaches sex.ed and there is no comc
hagrid loves small friendly animals

How might the story go, I wondered, and came up with:

"hagrid teaches students how to love small friendly animals too
the gryffindors like the nice tickly feeling
draco malfoy squirms uncomfortably
he remembers the ferret incident
(moody also likes small friendly animals)
crabbe and goyle grunt, cuz they're fat & stoopid
hermione is very advanced and has already started on medium-sized-and-not-quite-so-friendly animals
the end."

I still wonder about COMC. Surely this is an acronym for some very bizarre play?

Molly, and why I dislike her

All this nightmare scenario-related talk about Molly and my dislike of her, in combination with camillabloom's delightfully filthy and squicky Molly/Sirius rape fic, and with sistermagpie's discussion of the Weasley twins and casual cruelty in HP made me think that time is right for explaining why, exactly, I don't like Molly. It's not, as one could assume, because she was "nasty to Sirius" in OotP (although this is one of the factors). It is because Molly represents exactly the image of motherhood that makes my hair stand up and my insides squirm with disgust and annoyance.

I know she's got her reasons for being protective. She is also widely considered a "strong" mother figure and her love for her family is often used as an explanation for her behaviour. But love can go horribly wrong and loving someone does not make us infallible.
