Oh, JKR. I think I got immunized early on, 'cause I got my OMG ALL-ENCOMPASSING HATRED of JKR's 'vision' out before I was even part of fandom (well, it's why I didn't read the books! and threw book 1 against the wall, etc). But then I was like, reading fanfic and thinking 'man, Draco is so hot when he's pining for Harry' and then I was like, 'fuck it, I'll read the books or they'll never stop making fun of me' (Cassie Claire once piled on with others at her lj, after which she suggested I recuperate by getting an ice-cream). And it was all down-hill from there, but mostly I just stopped paying attention to her world-view/the wizarding world/anything but Harry and Draco and Ron (with some Snape). I was happier with canon but increasingly dissociated from reality (but oh well, haha).
Nooo people can love more than one person (see! Jim loves Bones! and he can love the Enterprise! and his son! and whoever, really), but SPOCK can have ONLY JIM. haha. >___>; See that's what I meant about 12-year-old!me >>> maturity. Theoretically this is true, but I can't... well, I'm just a romantic-- for me, any romance I'm on board with becomes a big deal, all-encompassing, etc, unless I just like it 'cause it's cute (like Ron/Hermione). Plus, the maturer it is, the less I tend to feel it needs me to ship it-- this is how I feel about Heero/Relena, say. It's like, so... proper, like the sort of pairing a well-meaning friend of the couple would set up by a blind date. Since my favorite thing about Spock romance is him being super-unreasonable, I can't help but feel threatened. Though I like them as friends and think they're well-suited. Some people seem to imply Spock could have sex with her without any great angst or investment, which also makes me sad. But! Also, if you're not strangling your beloved on the bridge in rage, IS IT REALLY LOVE?? D:
