Hagrid always makes me think, *Ouch, that's gotta hurt!*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I know, right? But if you're into that, it seems like Hagrid would be your man. ;-)

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

My reaction: no. way. in. hell. Way too much hair for my taste.
Cinnamon? I once knew an author of that name.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

That's the definition of bear, right? ;-)

[connorblond.livejournal.com]

Yeah. *shudders*

[potteresque_ire]

AHHHHHHH!!!!

*scrubs brain from these thoughts*

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Is it really that bad?

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

What the heck are you reading writing? :P

This is coming from a conversation I had with someone this morning who said she could never ship Hagrid with anyone. It reminded me of another conversation I had with daddybear716 years ago in which he said that among gay men who are into bears, Hagrid actually is a favorite character. I was wondering if anyone here had seen that.

Fandom tends to skew female, and we tend to prefer young, pretty, almost feminine boys to ship. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- we're all here for different reasons, and fantasizing about pretty boys is definitely one of my main interests in fandom. *cough*Karl Urban*cough*

But it's food for thought...

Certainly this has been explored in great detail in many Snape/Hagrid fics. *g* Although, given that he's supposedly half again the size of your average man in height, if he were proportionally and realistically endowed, he'd still be sporting a smaller package than some of your more fervid ficcers give to human characters.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

You know, I haven't read a heck of a lot of Snape/Hagrid. Got any recs?

And LOL to your last comment! I've often thought that slasher are all size queens, based on the descriptions of peen in fanfic and fanart alone. :-D

[atdelphi.livejournal.com]

In terms of shameless self-promotion, I've written a couple myself, and this one is particularly size-queeny and bear-admirey: Go Big or Go Home.

There's also Predatrix's hilarious Size Queen.

And, not porny, but all of bethbethbeth's Snape/Hagrid stories make me smile

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

WAH! That's all I have to say about Hagrid being anyone's fodder for . . . yeah.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I don't object to his physical appearance, but there's something about Hagrid's personality and role in the stories that makes him hard for me to envision in sexual situations.

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Hagrid is quite child-like in both the movies and in canon, in an endearing way (to me). He's about as asexual to me as they can get.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly -- he's very childlike, and so I tend to see him as very innocent. Even in his interactions with Madame Maxime, he seems almost virginal.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

You have to see the next comment, OMG! :-D

[pink-mint.livejournal.com]

Not my taste! But it reminds me of the art, Up the Stalk and Down the Pole – NSFW (Hagrid/Draco) by Ponderosa.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Wow!! That art was fantastic!

[nmalfoy.livejournal.com]

I can't discuss. You just made my brain shut down.

[lu-no-sekai.livejournal.com]

*caughs*
Well I'm not exactly into hairy men... Although some hair is good, but that much...? O.o"
And as was said before, he always appears kind of innocent and pure... Can't imagine him doing dirty talk or anything! *lol*

Oh my god, the pictures!!! >.<"""

[kitty_fic]

Certainly not to my taste but you make a valid point

I still want to know how Hagrid was conceived. I imagine his father, masturbating in what he thought was a tunnel or something. Seems impossible any other way.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Now that's a fic I don't think I want to read. Or do I? I can't decide!

But yeah, I have actually wondered this myself. And I've also wondered if JKR first thought about making Hagrid's dad the giant and his mom the human, and then reconsidered. :-P
