@MolagBal Ha ha, yeah! You're right! :P

@MolagBal Aww... that sucks.. :(

@Bellatrix I'm spending half my time trying to think about work, and the other half thinking about Underworld and stuff :p half an hour to go

@MolagBal Okay, that's a cool way of getting yourself through it! :P Hopefully the time will pass quickly. :)

@Bellatrix I'm just glad the corporate firewall lets this chat through :p

@MolagBal Yeah, that's cool. :P You can work and talk about villains with me.

@Bellatrix right :D

@MolagBal :D

Have you ever read Dracula?

yes!

@MolagBal What did you think? I enjoyed it, although the women didn't get to do much.

@Bellatrix I liked it. I read it well before it had occurred to me to look for how women were portrayed, so I didn't notice that

I may have liked Carmilla better, because, you know, cute girls

@MolagBal Yeah, it was good. It would have been better with a few female vampires, but it was still good.

@MolagBal Fair enough! :)

@Bellatrix :) :p

@MolagBal I liked Carmilla better too. :) But you'd probably expect that from me. :P

have you read Varney the Vampire? I haven't, but I want to take a look at it at some point.

@Bellatrix but neither one of the girls was Bellatrix! :p

@MolagBal No, I've never read that one. I'd like to, but I haven't yet. It sounds like the name of a circus act though. :P

@Bellatrix it kind of does, I guess :p

does Harry Potter have vampires? could there be vampire death eaters? :-o

vampire Bellatrix? :-o

@MolagBal Hahahaha! I meant that I like when women are just as villainous as men! Not that I liked either of the girls! :P

Hello my villainous friends!

@Bellatrix ok, I get it now :)

hello squirrel!!!

Just popped in to say hi for a quick second :)

nice of you to drop in :)

@Bellatrix I umm "liked" both of them :p

What in the heck is Himarm doing in here?

he's lost

@MolagBal Yeah, there are vampires in Harry Potter. So yes, there could be vampire Death Eaters, although we don't know of any. :D

@MolagBal Shocker! Hehehehe!

@Bellatrix what if Bella was a vampire and she survived?!

@MolagBal That's cool. :) I just meant they don't come close to Bellatrix in my opinion. :)

@Bellatrix well, that's a high standard to meet :p

@MolagBal I love that idea!! :)

@MolagBal Yeah... :P

@Bellatrix :D

@steelersquirrel Hi!

@MolagBal :D

@MolagBal There's nothing anywhere that disprove it, so totally possible! :D

@Bellatrix they don't catch on fire in daylight or anything?

@Bellatrix Hello there!

Sorry to swoop in and run. I'm going to my neighbor's tonight for a tequila sampling party...shenanigans will be ensuing ;)

uh oh I hope you're going with somebody responsible :p

@MolagBal No, that's never mentioned one way or another. :)

@Bellatrix vampire Bellatrix then :D

@MolagBal Just myself ;)

Have a good night, you silly kids :)

@MolagBal Awesome! :D

@steelersquirrel good night. don't do anything I wouldn't do :p

@steelersquirrel Have fun! :)

@steelersquirrel or you know, be reasonable somehow :p

@Bellatrix I guess she can call us kids since she's older than both of us :p

@MolagBal Yeah, she definitely has seniority over us. :P

@MolagBal Dumb-symbolism mom would be no match for vampire Bellatrix! :D

@Bellatrix dumb symbolism mom gets scratched by Bellatrix and becomes a vampire :-o

@MolagBal That's a bad idea, she wanted to kill Bellatrix. :^o

@Bellatrix what if vampirism changes your attitude? shouldn't it turn you bloodthirsty and evil?

would the vampires be natural allies of the death eaters?

@MolagBal Ohhh, okay! Mwahaha! ;)

@Bellatrix I know nothing about HP vampirism, so maybe I'm way off

@MolagBal I don't really know, vampires don't show up much. But maybe!

vampires in True Blood are under obedience to their maker :-o Bella could control symbolism mom!

@MolagBal Oooh, I like that! :D

well I'm headed home. catch you later! :)

@MolagBal Okay! See you later! :)

@Bellatrix back :) going to get dinner ready or do some cleaning or something, but I'll be around :)

@MolagBal Welcome back! :)

@Bellatrix thanks :)

@MolagBal :)

are you feeling better yet?

@MolagBal Not really, but I'm hanging in there.

@Bellatrix vampires wouldn't have such problems :-/ :p

@MolagBal Ha ha, yeah! : P Neither would Death Eaters, I think. :^|

@Bellatrix what about Bellatrix though? does being a death eater alter you somehow?

@MolagBal She'd have to deal with it too. Being a Death Eater doesn't alter you in any way.

@MolagBal You're right. She'd have to deal with it too. Being a Death Eater doesn't alter you in any way.

@Bellatrix I recommend vampirism then. it solves so many problems. :D and after you're turned, please turn me too :D

Bella sat next to a woman at that conference room table

@MolagBal Yeah, that would be awesome! :D I'd totally turn you next, you're awesome! :D

@MolagBal That's her sister. She's married to a Death Eater, but she isn't one.

@Bellatrix thanks Bella :D just don't make me do anything silly if you gain powers of obedience over your progeny :p

@Bellatrix they let non-members in on their meetings? :-o

@MolagBal You're welcome! :D Don't worry, I'll let you do whatever you want. :)

@Bellatrix as your Maker, I command you to bring me another cup of coffee <-- as you wish Bella :p

@MolagBal No, but Bellatrix's sister is a bit of a special case. She's the sister of a Death Eater, wife of a Death Eater, and mother of a Death Eater. Plus they hold the meetings at her house.

@MolagBal Hahaha! :) Nah, I'll get another minion and make them bring us both coffee! :D

@MolagBal She might have a spell to stop it, though.

@Bellatrix oh, well that explains it then :)

@Bellatrix you need to learn that spell

@Bellatrix why doesn't she want to be a death eater?

@MolagBal Yeah, no other nonmember is allowed in the meetings. :)

@MolagBal I totally do! :) I mean, I figure she has some way to stop it so it doesn't affect her Death Eater activities. :)

@MolagBal I'm really not sure. I think she was more interested in being a wife and mother than joining the Death Eaters. :^|

@Bellatrix at least she's a sympathizer. or was the the betrayer?

@MolagBal She was a sympathizer, and also the betrayer when she thought her son was in danger and chickened out.

@Bellatrix oh :(

@MolagBal Yeah. :(

The author loves to beat us over the head with motherly love.

if only the death eaters had won -_-

@MolagBal Yeah! The Death Eaters win, Bella kills dumb symbolism mom and they triumph over sickening metaphors! :)

@Bellatrix :D

@MolagBal :D This would have been so much better a series than the one we got!

@Bellatrix so true :)

@MolagBal Yeah. :) As it is, they hid Bella in a ton of lame metaphors about the power of love.

@MolagBal I'm not okay right now...

@Bellatrix what's wrong?

@MolagBal People keep wanting to make Bellatrix be a mother. :(

@Bellatrix I'm sorry Bella. Slytherincess is a reasonable person though... she'll listen to your counter-argument

@MolagBal Thanks! :) I have a lot of evidence that she doesn't have to have had a child, and I'm working on the thesis that'll have it all compiled.

@Bellatrix good :) I think it will help once you've had it all compiled, because it's really hard to drag out evidence on the fly in chat

@MolagBal Thanks! :)

@Bellatrix I am convinced that you looked into this thoroughly, so I believe you. besides, from what I've heard about JKR, a direct quote isn't even proof of anything. Sorry you're (apparently) upset. If I can do anything for you, let me know please :)

@MolagBal Thank you so much! I am so glad you believe me! :D Yeah, JKR is horribly unreliable. Sure, I will let you know. :)

@Bellatrix want me to mail you a bottle of coconut rum? :p

@MolagBal Sure! :P

@Bellatrix well I am going to face practical difficulties on that, actually... :p

it's delicious, by the way. pirate bay from captain morgan, 90 proof.

@MolagBal Haha! :P

I'm trying to stick to 2 drinks per day. bummer....

@MolagBal I might need some drinks if people don't stop insisting Bellatrix had a baby.

@Bellatrix better ask your mom, or meet me in Canada :p

or Mexico. that would be much more convenient for me.

@MolagBal My mom knows how terrible this has been for me, I'm sure she'd supply me with some alcohol. :P

@Bellatrix problem solved :D :p

tell her I'm buying :) only the best for Bella :D

really, pirate bay is pretty cheap but amazingly good

@MolagBal Ha ha, yeah! :D

@MolagBal Aww! :) You are so sweet! :D

@Bellatrix :)

maybe I'll change it to 3 drinks per day....

@MolagBal :)

I know I keep posting this but

yup

@Bellatrix are you ok yet? do I need to stage an intervention?

or... not sure if that's the right phrase but whatever

@MolagBal No. I'm still going to die of pain medicine wonky and Slytherincess telling me about Bellatrix's fertility and supposed giving birth has only made matters much worse. I'm not doing well at all. Plus, I'm not fit to be a Death Eater if I'm this weak.

@Bellatrix do you want to talk? like not text chat. I dunno if that would be any better

I mean my options are limited from this distance, so maybe there's nothing much I can do

@MolagBal How would that work? Besides, this is fine. :) You're not the problem, you're actually helping. :)

@MolagBal You're doing plenty, don't worry. :)

@Bellatrix well, either chat sites that allow voice (discordapp.com comes to mind) or phones. I'm not trying to phish your phone number or anything, I'm just worried about you

@MolagBal This is fine, don't worry. :)

@Bellatrix ok :)

@MolagBal Thanks! :) Can I talk more, or am I just bumming you out?

@Bellatrix no I like talking to you :) and I'm flattered that you would talk to me when you're upset actually

I mean, that's a yes to "can I talk more" and a no to the other question :p

@MolagBal Aww, thanks! :)

Right now, I am feeling beyond pathetic. My life goal is to be awesome like Bellatrix is, but right now I'm on medication and am barely functioning. She would be ashamed. :(

@Bellatrix you're being too hard on yourself Bella. everybody has weaknesses and problems. Even Bellatrix. She didn't get nearly enough screen/book time to explore every aspect of her life

I think just joining the death eaters would be enough to get her on your side. I really don't think she'd be ashamed of you

@MolagBal Aww, thanks! :)

@Bellatrix it sounds like you're just having a bad day. maybe you'll feel better in a few days. just a few different things are piling up on you right now

@MolagBal Thanks a lot. :) Yeah I am having a bad day. I was having one to begin with, and it didn't get particularly better.

@Bellatrix yeah :( I'm sorry about that

@MolagBal Thanks! :) That sucked, I did not need that. :(

@Bellatrix I know :( she didn't mean to upset you, but I know it still sucks to hear that

@MolagBal Yeah. :( I don't think she meant to. It still sucked though. It's not true, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it. :(

@MolagBal That's fine, so far you're the only person today who has managed actual helpful help. :)

@MolagBal That's true. She's still a really awesome woman though. :)

@Bellatrix I'm glad I could help a bit :)

@MolagBal Aww thanks! :D And you would know, you know a lot about us both now. :)

@Bellatrix yes but I think you're pretty awesome too :)

@MolagBal Yeah, you are definitely being helpful. :)

@Bellatrix I'm on my way to being an expert in Bellatrices :D (actually I just like using the plural of your name :p )

@MolagBal Thank you! :)

@Bellatrix well you are :p

I wouldn't talk to you forever if I thought you were boring :p

@MolagBal Ha ha, yeah! :D Plus, I trust you'll tell me the truth and aren't going to lie to me just to make me feel better. :)

@Bellatrix :)

@MolagBal Aww, thanks! :D

@MolagBal :)

Really though, don't make up lies to tell me to make me feel better. I sometimes suspect my mom does that, and it makes me paranoid about trusting what she says. Don't say something unless it's actually true.

@Bellatrix yeah, I know. I really object to lying, even "little white lies", so I try to avoid it. I'll phrase stuff in a way that I think softens the blow, or omit information maybe, but I'm not going to just make stuff up and tell it to you

@MolagBal Okay, cool! :) That's good. I sometimes tend to believe that people are lying to me, especially when I want what they're saying to be true but am not sure it is. Thank you so much for not doing that, or the other almost lying thing, twisting words so much it might as well be a lie. I really hate when people do that. As an offset, I'm honest. At least with my friends.

With random judgmental people though, I've told some really big lies to get them to shut up quicker. But I don't lie to people I actually respect.

@Bellatrix sorry you run across random judgmental people :-/ most people just leave me alone

I kind of have an air of "don't talk to me" if you see me in real life

I think

side note: umm that idea of HP!Bellatrix biting me is even better if she's a vampire...

@MolagBal Thanks. Most people leave me alone, but stupid bored people and relatives like to judge. :^|

@MolagBal Oh my gosh, yes! :D

@Bellatrix ah yes, relatives: "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." :p

@Bellatrix neck nibbles just aren't the same without fangs :p (hoping I don't get banned for that)

@MolagBal Except for my mom, the people who are related to me are dumb. :P

@Bellatrix most of the population of the world is kind of dumb Bella :p kidding but kind of not.... sometimes :p

@MolagBal Ha ha, yeah! :P (I think you should be safe, it's not R-rated)

@Bellatrix yeah that's probably PG-13 so we are good :D

@MolagBal Yep... :P

@MolagBal Yay! :D Plus it's hard to be too sad when thinking about that! :)

@Bellatrix I know! actually I'm a little bummed because my canine teeth (is that what they're called? the things that look like fangs) have worn down and now they're not sharp anymore :( there went my fangs...

the dentist said they couldn't do anything about it

oh well

@MolagBal Aww man! :( Well, dental technology is always improving, so hopefully they'll be able to fix it soon! :)

@Bellatrix oh that's true :) maybe if I pressed the issue and shopped around, somebody could extend my canines, but that would cost more than I want to pay, so whatever

moral of this story: don't grind your teeth Bella. you'll lose your fangs :p

I have no proof that my teeth were ever sharper/longer, so this could all be in my imagination

@MolagBal Yeah, it seems to improve fairly quickly. So it should be fixable at a cheap enough price soon enough. :)

@Bellatrix :D

@MolagBal Good to know! I don't think I've ever ground my teeth, so I'll be sure not to start! :)

@MolagBal :D

@MolagBal I doubt it, you would know your own teeth. :)

@Bellatrix that's what my current dentist says, but I dunno. ummm but the hygienist they keep giving me is adorable. probably married but I'm just saying

@MolagBal Well, your dentist is probably right. Lucky you, you get an adorable hygienist! :) My dentist is a big bald guy, and the hygienists all are very not adorable. :P

@Bellatrix you mean they don't look like Bellatrix? :p not everyone can, you know :p

@MolagBal They definitely don't! :P Yeah, not everyone can. :P I mean, how many people do you know that look like her?

@Bellatrix just you :p

excluding cheek bones and jaw bone, but the general impression, you know

@MolagBal Aww! :D

@Bellatrix well you asked :p

@MolagBal I still have to take that picture for you, now that I actually know how to take them without the angle coming out weird, but right now I look awful.

@MolagBal :D

@Bellatrix anytime you get a chance and feel less awful-looking :)

the tricky thing is, it's really hard to articulate certain differences in facial features. like I lack the vocabulary for it or something. I just blame indistinct differences on cheekbones and hope I'm right :p

there are just so many variables that go into what a face looks like, and I don't know what they all are

@MolagBal Thanks so much! :) It'll be easier to tell resemblance when I'm not at different odd angles. :)

@Bellatrix yeah the angles make it tricky :)

and then there's eyebrows... are they really shaped differently, or is it just the facial expression? so many variables!

@MolagBal Yeah they do. But now I know how to take a proper facing forward picture. :) Like a mug shot. :P

@Bellatrix uh oh Bella has a mug shot :p

how much is bail this time? :p

@MolagBal Ha ha! :P

I don't think Azkaban accepts bail... but I don't know... :P

@Bellatrix probably not :p

@MolagBal Yeah, I doubt it. :P

@MolagBal I know what you mean. A lot of girls have figured out their face shape, to help pick hair and makeup I think, but I have no idea what mine is.

@MolagBal Yeah, it's difficult. Sorry for recruiting you into helping me objectively analyze the resemblance between me and Bellatrix.

@Bellatrix it's fine! :)

@MolagBal Thank you! :)

so... does that pain medicine even help? you seem pretty miserable while taking it

@MolagBal Yeah, it dulls the pain, so I'm not feeling like I'm being stabbed. But it dulls my mind as well. Plus it's a muscle relaxer, so basic movement becomes a lot harder. :(

@Bellatrix :-/ that sounds pretty rough :( sorry Bella

I've never had any pain that couldn't be solved by 2 tylenol and 2 ibuprofen :-/ excluding dental work and shots in my mouth

@MolagBal Yeah it is. :( At least, according to a very reliable source, I'm not making my namesake ashamed of me and I'd still be a good Death Eater. :)

@Bellatrix wait what source is this :p

you activated your snake tattoo and asked the dark lord, didn't you?! :p

@MolagBal A daedric prince told me. :P

@Bellatrix well if the dark lord is busy, that will have to do :D

@MolagBal I tried, but he was busy... :P

@Bellatrix well, he has a lot of responsibilities :p

@MolagBal Yeah, that'll do! :D

@MolagBal Definitely. Killing Muggles, recruiting new Death Eaters, instilling fear into common wizards...

^ daedric prince of goths :p

@MolagBal Oooh, cool! :)

that's Nocturnal, who tends to hang out with ravens and wear sexy robes :D

@MolagBal Awesome! :D Thanks for showing me! :)

actually she's the daedric prince of the night and darkness, and is quite popular with thieves

@Bellatrix :)

@MolagBal That's cool! :D

just so the website where I took that picture gets credit: en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Nocturnal

but yeah, she's cool :)

@MolagBal Thanks! :)

^ for completeness, that is Azura, daedric prince of dusk and dawn :D

also among the sexier daedra :p

those are a moon and star in her hands

I mean, that's a ginormous statue of her, not a picture of her herself

@MolagBal Okay, cool! :D

@MolagBal Are daedra generally sexy? :P

the other daedric princes are not as easy on the eyes :p none of them look like Bellatrix, alas

@Bellatrix well I've got another one if you're into that sort of thing :p

no wait another two

but those are the only daedric princes (gods pretty much) who look that good

there are also lesser daedra

@MolagBal Hahahaha! :P That's too bad, wouldn't it be cool if there was one that looked like her? :)

en.uesp.net/wiki/File:SR-creature-Flame_Atronach.jpg <-- she's hot. really hot. sorry about the pun :p

^ flame atronach

but those things are pretty cute. they kind of dance a little once you summon them, doing backflips and stuff

@MolagBal That's cool, l love puns! :P

@Bellatrix do you think she's cute, or is it just me? I mean, cute for a... conjured ball of flame, I guess

dark seducer

@MolagBal Yeah, she is cute for a conjured ball of flame. It's not just you. :)

@Bellatrix phew :)

oh this one is pixellated but ummmmm NSFW: daedra seducer

but a woman who grows wings and misplaces her clothes somehow???? my mind is blown :-o :p

sorry, none of these look like Bellatrix so you probably aren't into them :)

@Bellatrix I will keep an eye out from now on :D

@MolagBal Wow. I'm not sure how growing wings leads to losing clothes, but okay... 0_0

@Bellatrix don't ask questions, just appreciate it :p

@MolagBal They're still really interesting, though! :D

@Bellatrix phew :)

@MolagBal Haha! :P

I think the daedra are really interesting. my character in the games is always a daedra worshipper

the "good" gods are weak, as it turns out, because they spent their power creating the world. so it's mainly the evil gods who still have the strength and ability to deal with mortals directly

@MolagBal Yeah, it's cool! :P Plus, I like other people, just none as much as her. ;)

@Bellatrix like girls or guys?

@MolagBal Guys and girls... there's none currently I like that way. I just meant like as in find interesting or attractive. I'm probably mostly straight, but consider girls "safer". Plus in general, girls are prettier...

@Bellatrix makes perfect sense :)

@MolagBal Thanks! I'm glad you don't think I'm crazy. :) Although when I read what I wrote, maybe I'm not mostly straight...

@Bellatrix I think considering girls safer and prettier is just normal, and doesn't really say anything about whether you're straight

:37128540 They are definitely cool. :) It's also really interesting that the evil gods are the ones with all the power. :)

@MolagBal I don't know, I really don't have many people to ask. I'm definitely somewhat not straight, because I would gladly be with Bellatrix. ;)

@MolagBal That would be so awesome! :D

@Bellatrix well she's kind of a special case though :p

@MolagBal Yeah, she is. :) :P

can you sleep when you're feeling bad like this?

or do you just lose sleep for days on end every month :-|

@MolagBal Not really...

@Bellatrix :(

@MolagBal Yeah, that's pretty much what happens. :(

@Bellatrix poor Bella :(

@MolagBal I hate this so much. :(

@Bellatrix I'm sorry. I can mumble vague platitudes or something if you want :p

@MolagBal Aww thanks!

@MolagBal Please don't do that, that wouldn't help. :P

it seems like they would have come up with a better treatment for this by now. I don't think it's especially uncommon

@Bellatrix good because I didn't have any vague platitudes at the ready anyway :p

@MolagBal I would think so, but apparently not.

@Bellatrix :(

@MolagBal That's good! I mean, I don't know what would work on me but definitely not that. :P

@MolagBal Agreed. :(

@Bellatrix well I still have that quote about killing indiscriminately if you want a quote :p

@MolagBal Sure! :P

> God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we

:D :p

that's Anne Rice, I think. yeah...

@MolagBal Cool! :D :P

@Bellatrix :p

@MolagBal :P Regular people's cheer-up methods don't work for. I don't like cat videos, I don't find animals cute, and vague platitudes will just confuse me. :P

I feel like women get a bad deal in a lot of ways :-/ I mean, women are definitely better looking than... anything else in the universe, but I get the impression that you have to deal with a lot of stuff that just doesn't affect me

@Bellatrix you don't like cat videos :-o :-o :p

what about giant magical snake videos?

@MolagBal Yeah, being female sucks... :(

@Bellatrix poor Bella :(

@MolagBal Not really. Do you? I get the impression most people do.
