I think it was hinted at that they would get together but the movie ended too early for them getting together to be realistic yet without seeming forced because Mr. Grinch would need a little more time I think before being ready to go on a date after all his isolation. It would be cute if Cindy Lou sets him and her mom up on a date about 2 months later for Valentine’s Day.

I’m really glad they didn’t ended together, it would be forced for the time and I don’t like forced ships xP

But hey in the credits we can see the grinch it’s always around of the Lou Who family and he do many gifts to Donna ;)

QUESTIONS: 

1. Do you think people are born good, bad or neither?

I definitely think that everyone is born kind of in the middle i guess and that everyone has the capabilities to lean towards either good or bad but it all kind of depends on how you're raised and stuff i think and like the environment that you're raised in or whatever

2. Favorite subject in school?

oh my gosh okay well probably English only because i just had the best english teacher EVER who just let us write short stories and do nothing else hahaha but otherwise it just kind of comes easily to me, writing essays and stuff i mean

3. Top three books?

uhhh well i dont really read too much cause im WAYY to ADD but i've always liked the harry potter books (even if i couldn't focus long enough to actually read past the fourth book) and then i really like the maze runner series which should actually be coming out as a movie soon so yay for that! and um...yeah even if i did read more this would still be one of the hardest questions ever oh my goodness

4. What country/countries do you most want to visit?

oh my gosh alright so can i just say the whole world and more because i just want to travel everywhere!!!but if i had to narrow it down i guess scotland, japan, peru and maybe like...antartica just to see if i could make it as an antartican eskimo 

5. What do you look for in a friend?

well i like people to be nice, and fun but for some reason i always like introverted people ebtter even though im extremely extraverted and outgoing and stuff! but yeah as long as people are nice and fun and dont just sit there staring at me im good!

8. Any siblings?

i have three siblings (one brother and two sisters) and they're all older than me and i love them all and we're all really close and pretty much best friends which is actually really surprising ahha

9. Do you think family is more important than your friends?

ehhhh they're both important! i mean...there are different cases when maybe ones favored more than another but in all honesty, i kind of consider all of my friends family so even if someone's not related to me they still ahve the importance of friendship and family so they kind of go hand in hand

well i can play the panflute which i guess that's pretty cool haha

11. If you could have sex with any one person throughout history or in the present day, who would it be?

NEW QUESTIONS:

1. What would you do if you came home after a long day at work in which nothing had gone right and you turn into your driveway only to see that you'd received a shipment of 100 beluga whales (even though you are quite sure you made no such order) with which you can do whatever you choose?

2. If you were to build a brand new and innovative school, what would you make it like? Any new subjects, who would be the teachers (could be anyone), etc., etc.?

7. If you could build anything in the time of one day (no matter how unrealistic it may be), what would you build? (For example, mine would be atlantis)

9. If you could bring any fictional place or character or item to life, what would you choose?

10. If you were Adam (in the bible) and you were naming all the animals and stuff, would you have named anything differently?

11. What's your favorite movie?

[hs-gifs]

Wow. Thanks for the Blix gifs. This might seem weird but I think Blix is sexy as hell and it's hard to find gifs of him or fanart or really anything most of the time. So thanks! I'm still hoping to find large HD screencaps of him sometime...I would take some myself from my Blu-Ray but I don't have the necessary equipment.

No problem! One of the reasons I started this blog was because it irked me that only the highlights of movies really get gifs. I personally have a soft spot for secondary characters or subtle gestures that in the scheme of the plot mean very little, but that I like because they're funny or indications of the character's personality or it's just something interesting. I made a post sometime this week about starting to add screencaps too (I always make them when I watch movies, it's like a compulsion..and then I never do anything with them haha), so I can def upload some for this movie if you'd like.

[hellyeahlegend]

Just wondering if you know anywhere that has HD screencaps of Blix.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but these two sites have some nice images. I'm slowlyyyyyy posting from both of them. (If you mean something else, please let me know.)

Lots of screencaps from the beginning of Legend. Ones from throughout the movie.

[hellyeahlegend]

I'm glad I found your blog. :) I've always liked Legend since I first saw it as a child and since then I've developed a crush/attraction to Blix. ♥ I guess I'm weird. lol.

This blog be just as sweet as pie. Glad you found it too. I'd be lying if I told you I'd never had a crush on a non-human character. (This includes ones that don't look human.)

Update on Pottermore Account Deletion

I got a reply from Pottermore Support confirming that account deletion *is* currently broken. If you want to delete an account, contact Pottermore Support using the Help->Other->What's Next->Need More Help? button, and message them telling them that it's broken and also the name of the account you want deleted so that they can do it manually.

Their message did not say whether this change was intentional or if they plan on fixing it. It doesn't matter for House Cup purposes in any case, at least not right now, but technically a lot of people could possibly be in violation of Pottermore TOU regarding multiple account creation because of the bug - again, not that they've ever enforced that anyway.

Also, Pottermore Account Deletion Is Currently Broken (New Bug)

Account deletion no longer works. Before, if you created and deleted an account, it instantaneously disappeared. Now, even if you delete the account, it's still present. It doesn't matter if the deleted account has 0 points or 1,000 - it's still there, you can still log in, even if you've gone to the Account Settings and repeatedly told Pottermore to delete it. (You will also still appear in Friends lists.) Since House points are no longer factored by percentage of students, this is not currently affecting the House Cup - but I have to wonder why Pottermore broke this ability. I've dropped them a message about it and am waiting to hear back.

Gryffindor and Hufflepuff...

mintyrainbow:

I was just reading your rank sort for Dragon Midnight and read this: "A bit unusual, given that Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are generally thought to be so similar"  I've also wondered about this because I'm apparently very Hufflepuff(although pretty Slytherin too as you say) but seem to be very far from Gryffindor....I don't feel like I really have any Gryffindor at all in me(and my sorting results seem to show that) and it feels strange to me when it says that Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are relatively similar and that they get along really well together because none of my friends or people I know ended up in Gryffindor...it's like I learned from Pottermore that I never hang out with Gryffindors(I have nothing against them but as each person I knew got sorted....none ended up in Gryffindor). So it's like I just naturally don't end up friends with Gryffindors for some reason. I'm not saying I could never be friends with one, you'd think I could have a friend in every house, but it was surprising to me when none of about 30 people that I know ended up in Gryffindor. I have MULTIPLE friends in the other 3 houses. I do have some Gryffindors in my friends list on Pottermore but it's only because I accept all friend requests there(and because I have nothing actually against Gryffindor). I just don't know any of them personally. It was just interesting to me that that happened....but it messes with my mind a little since apparently Hufflepuffs are suppose to get along the best with Gryffindors and it just doesn't seem to be like that in my case based on the sorting results of everyone I know.

It's interesting - I'm not really sure how this works, as I have a lot of Gryffindor relatives but am mostly friends with 'Claws, and Slyths IRL (and some Hufflepuffs) - but for my House, Ravenclaw, that breaks down the way it "should" per the Welcome Letter. In my case, it could be a relative deficit of having a smaller pool of Gryffs: the Internet pool of people I talk to is mostly Ravenclaws and Slytherins, and I don't know that many Pottermore users IRL. (But part of the Pottermore Internet pool is that I knew self-identified Ravenclaws pre-Pottermore - and those people tended to break either 'Claw or Slyth on the Sorting.) 

I don't know what would cause the discrepancy with you. Other followers, is this something you've experienced/noticed? 

I think that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff do get along well together naturally, or should, at least in theory/per the quiz: they share a love of people and a lot of answers. They wanted to be trusted and liked, hate being lonely, and are people-centric (in terms of saving the cure.) Gryffindors are more outgoing and adventurous, more individual and outspoken, but they seem to be people-focused Houses at heart.

So, since I can't really explain this or tell if anyone else has had a similar experience...followers? Any Hufflepuff/Gryffindor followers, in particular? Have you noticed a breakdown in your friends - do you have more friends in a House that you "should" get along with, per Pottermore? Or are you a Gryffindor with a bunch of Ravenclaw and Slytherin friends? Or a Hufflepuff who's best buddies with a Slytherin? (Can you even remember for your RL friends at this point?)
