Scorose Shipping Challenge
Copied this off the lovelyĀ @languidbones who is a godsent gift to us Scorose fanfic readers. If anyone would like to do this challenge, please tag me so I can read your answers!
1. When did you start shipping Scorose?
I think I started shipping them in late 2011? Itās been so long that I canāt remember the exact dates, but I wrote my first Scorose fanfiction in April 2012 (cringe), and started this blog in September 2012.
2. Favorite ship name: Scorose or Rosius?
3. Would you like J.K. Rowling to write a book about the next generation?
No. I think if you read this, you would understand why. Also, I respect her for creating this amazing universe and if you follow my main blog, I used to worship the ground she walks on. But in the last couple of years, sheās been making so many new changes to the series that she never even mentioned in the book and some of it is very contradictory, and Iām not sure why she does it. If itās in the name of diversity, then I think I would have preferred her to admit that back in the 90ā²s, when she first started writing these books, that it wasnāt a topic that is as celebrated and promoted as it is today.
I can go on for hours about this topic, but I digress.Ā
4. What is your favorite Scorose fan fiction, and what is it about?
Oh, so many! But my standard answer is 30 Days of You and Me, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. But I also love This Is(nāt) Acting, and my favourite oneshot is The Spectator
5. Which Houses do you believe that Scorpius and Rose would be sorted into? The same or different ones?
Iām very cliche, I love the Slytherin!Scorpius, Gryffindor!Rose dynamic, but I also donāt mind reading other combinations.
6. How do you think their relationship would evolve? Would they start off as friends, or start off as enemies?
The thing about Scorose that I love so much is that they have the ability to be anything you want. They can start off as anything, and evolve in any way imaginable. But I suppose judging from the majority of my own stories, I usually write them as friends -> lovers. But I do enjoy reading enemies -> lovers trope, but Iām just not good at writing that dynamic myself.
7. Say one of your personal headcanons.
Rose was one of the first people to be kind to him and judge him for who he is, instead of his last name
Scorpius was Roseās first boyfriend who didnāt want to date her just for her famous last name, because he knows what it feels like to be judged for his familyās past.Ā
8. Do you have a favorite Scorose video?
I canāt recall ever watching one, to be honest.Ā
9. Name a few songs that remind you of Scorose.
Iāve made a playlist before
10. Name some of your pet peeves in Scorose fan fictions.
Iāve also made a list of that here
11. Who do you think they were friends with?
Rose is close with her family, in particular Albus, Lily and Hugo. I also love a Rose and Dominique or Rose and Louis friendship
Scorpius is pretty much always best friends with Albus in my stories (except in Cruel Intentions [but who knows hmmmm]). I imagine that he would also be close with a few of his childhood friends who are also in Slytherin with him.Ā
12. What personality do you reckon Rose would have?
First of all, sheās strong and sheās unapologetically herself. She doesnāt feel the need to fit in or have a ton of friends, but she has close friendships with the ones she has. Sheās fiercely loyal to those she loves and sheās intelligent, and sheās kind to everyone she meets. And whilst sheās sometimes insecure that she may not live up to her parentsāĀ reputation, she has plenty of people who love her to tell her otherwise.Ā
13. What personality do you reckon Scorpius would have?
Scorpius had a difficult childhood, but not in the sense that his parents didnāt love him, but that the world already had a set prejudice when it came to him. He tries hard to fight against those assumptions and he, too, is fiercely loyal to the people he loves. However, heās cold to people who heās not familiar with because he has trust issues and heās worried that people will use the things he tells them against him.Ā
14. Is Scorose a ship youād typically ship (do you have ships that are similar to Scorose?) or are they unique to you?
I definitely love this Good girl/Bad boy trope a little too much. I ship Klaus/Caroline from the Vampire Diaries as much as scorose and they also fall into this category. I also like Chuck/Blair from Gossip Girl and although Ron/Hermione will always be my first proper OTP, Draco/Hermione is a guilty pleasure of mine once in a while.Ā Ā
15. Recommend a good Scorose blog (if you know one).
Well, definitely follow @languidbones , sheās a great person and writer. Other than that, Iām really sorry but I donāt normally look at other Scorose blogs. But if anyone has suggestions, feel free to let me know.
