Hehe! That would be good! laugh.gif I'm going back over to America next September (Soooo, not soon enough! *Grumbles*) So I'm going to buy everysingle pie Wallmart has.
If you live in Florida, sorry, you won't have any pies for 2 weeks 'cause I'll have them all! tongue.gif laugh.gif

Ah, pumpkin pie...What can I say about it? Well, it has been my favorite type of pie since I was about as tall as a meter stick. tongue.gif I used to eat some every Thanksgiving and Christmas, as was tradition around my family. Now...I eat some whenever I can get my hands on it. I ADORE PUMPKIN PIE!!!! And I feel very sorry for those who have never tried it.

Just hearing the words "pumpkin" and "pie" make me think of H/Hr. wub.gif It's like I see their entire friendship flash before my eyes. The last pumpkin pie my parents bought, I grabbed it and proclaimed, "No one shall touch this pie but me!!"

You know, I wonder if Harry and Hermione were to try a pumpkin pie, would they want some whipped cream. Whipped cream is pretty good too. Whoa, back up--bad thought in my head. Bad Jennifer, bad! twisted.gif

Actually, I love pumpkin pie so much that I suckered my grandmother into making one just for me for Thanksgiving. biggrin.gif When she told my mom that she got the ingredients for it the other night, I started screaming and yelling in French how much I love my grandma. She is a pretty cool grandmother.

In short, I love pumpkin pie and everything associated with it. biggrin.gif

since the Pumpkinpie history thread is temporarily locked.. i might as well just post here.. i was wondering how this names came about.. i mean.. i've read of how Mad Eyed Mike made the Harmony name.. would it be like just stating it?? like since in OotP there're lots of harmony/pumpkinpie moments there.. would it be just like someone (for this instance, the someone is me laugh.gif) saying:

"i have a new name for the h/hr ship!... and i call it the "HMS the Hug"!.. " or something like that.. (got this from book 5, chapter 4) would it be just like that?? or does it involve votings or debates??? just got really curious.. whistling.gif

Oops, okay, I'll re-open it now and move this post there. Do you want us Mods to attach a "Which name do you prefer for the H/H ship?" poll?

MOD NOTE:

Hi people, I'll be merging this thread with the Origin of HMS Pumpkin Pie soon. Thought I'd give you the heads up, since the redirect link won't work in this case of merging. (I'm going to retain that older thread's URL, see.)

On a related note, perenelle asks for alternative ship names. I inserted this Mod Note in her post:
Do you people want us Mods to attach a poll about "Which name do you prefer for the H/H ship?"
Choices could be

*Pumpkin Pie
*Harmony
*the hug (read perenelle's post)
*other - specify

Post your thoughts on this thread, ok?

Btw, there are instructions in the Newbie Guides forum on how to track merged or moved posts.

bye for now

eeeep!.. didn't mean to be such a bother, pen.. blush.gif sorry. well about the ship name.. pumkinpie and harmony are already great.. but if others want to have a poll about it or have a new idea for a new ship name.. i guess it'll be great. but whatever the other shipper wants, will do fine.

thanks pen and sorry for the trouble(again!)!...

OMG, I thought I was the only one who goes giddy over pumpkin pie. Every time someone mentions pumpkin pie, I involuntarily relate it to Harry and Hermione, and I get the warm and fuzzy feeling wub.gif
Pumpkin pie ties for my favorite dessert along with strawberry cheese-cake (yum) but even so, only pumpkin pie gave me that special lovey-dovy feeling heart.gif
I've been bugging my parents for ages to get me pumpkin pie and my mother is getting quite a bit annoyed, not that I blame her of course...and oh yes, I love everything related to pumpkins, and even tried the Pumpkin Smash in Jamba Juice (those from U.S. should know what I'm talking about) ....it's actually pretty good...but of course, nothing is as good as pumpkin pie...except maybe cheese-cake *ducks flying pies* sorcerer.gif
Harry n Hermione 4ever
yea...it's the same for me too. Whenever i hear Pumpkin Pie, I always feel warm and all *squeeish* inside. My family always has Pumpkin Pie at Christmas and Thanksgiving, this yr i had 5 slices of pie with neopolitan (sp?) icecream on top at thanksgiving whistling.gif all good stuff smile.gif
marshmallow33
Pumpkin pie rocks!

*ahem*

I reckon it's so funny in fictions (That are shipping r/hr, h/g, etc.) Have Harry and Hermione eating pumpkin pie or always have some relevance to pumpkin. eg. "I just nicked some pumpkin pie from the kitchens"

I don't think these other shippers know what their shipping!

Hehe, I've never tried the Jamba Juice one, but there's a place near me with stuff like it (a little healthier I might add) and I'll definitely try it there.
I actually like cheesecake better than any other cake. Considering that I used to not like pumpkin pie very much, I think it's really weird that I actually began to love it now. Maybe in a bit it'll become my favorite, but for now cheesecake is at the top. Don't worry CDelight, I'm with you. biggrin.gif

Hehe Pumpkins make me happy now too! And orange isn't annoying to me anymore at all, so we're all insane here (in a good way!)

I've never eaten pumpkin pies either. Actually, I didn't know that such thing existed until I found out the name of my ship. I thought the name was funny at first. Who would call themselves some kind of food? But I don't mind the name and has actually grown a liking to it. I wouldn't say that I'd go and search for pumpkin pie because I am not a fan of pumpkins, but I will support the Pumpkin Pie and say that it rules all the way. After all, pumkin pie and Pumpkin Pie are different smile.gif

Took the advice of the wise and all-knowing and came to check out where the lovely name came from .......

I've only once in my life tried pumpkin pie and fell in love with it but haven't tried to make it myself...hmm...must find a recipe as soon as possible...who cares it's not Halloween/Thanksgiving (or whenever you're supposed to eat it)...I want it ...NOW tongue.gif

Oh, I'm SO glad to cruise on HMS Pumpkin Pie thumbup.gif

Someone asked the question "Why do the R/Hr shippers have trees as their mascot?" or something very similar.

The simple matter of that is that they believe R/Hr to be canon. Canon is simply the books, which are made of paper. Paper, that comes from, you guessed it, TREES!

Personally though, I find it a bit silly to call your ship canon when it hasn't happened at all. wink.gif Because even though I love my H/Hr and Pumpkin Pie dearly, I'm one of those people who go "If J.K. wants to write H/Hr, that's fine. If she wants to write Harry/Draco slash, that's also fine. If she wants to write AllStudents/GiantSquid... She can go right ahead. They're her books, and her choice."

which ships?
here is a link that pretty much has all of them:
SCUSA Master Ship List - these are the names most widely used in the fandom
Mirtilla
story645 there are also another names for the ships beside the one of the SCUSA list:

Harry/Hermione is also HMS Harmony at CoSforums(on Mugglenet)
Ron/Hermione is also HMS Heron at CoSforums(on Mugglenet)
Ginny/Harry is also HMS Chocolare at CoSforums(on Mugglenet)

Personally I love the name HMS Harmony, mostly because I come from CoSforums and so I was used to HMS Harmony, furtermore the name described very well Harry and Hermione relationship, HMS Pumpkin Pie it's a funny name but it's something that comes from a fanfic not from the books, so I prefer Harmony because, well, it's what is in the books.

See you all,

Mirtilla
story645
Mirtilla, I know that.
I started on sugarquill where wolfstar is called One True Wa, so when I first saw SB/RL called wolfstar I went huh.gif , but most of the Scusa names are the most commonly accepted and well known ones in the fandom, so it is still the best place to look for the names of all the ships. Usually if you refer to a ship by its SCUSA name someone on the site will know what you are referring to.
Mirtilla
story645, yes SCUSA is still the better place to search for the name of the ships however at FAP there are so many ships that personally it's quite terrible seacrh a name there 1eye.gif .

Mirtilla
Godrics_Heiress
yeah, there's too many ship out there in SCUSA. some, if not most, pairings don't make sense at all. Well, it's nice having two unique names that apply to H/Hr, though. Harmony or Pumpie Pie? Both names are nice, so I can't possibly single out one, although Harmony is very telling of our couple.

Wow, I didn't know we had that much history... you learn new things every day!

Thank you. Compiling these info and merging these threads was one of the first things I did as a Global Mod. To tell the truth, I didn't expect this thread to keep growing. biggrin.gif
Open_M!nded
Well, I've got a little more info on the R/Hr trees thing. Being an almost true R/Hr shipper meself, and part of SQ, I discovered the true "Tree" quote.


QUOTE
A long long time ago in a thread far far away the question was asked why we shipped Ron/Hermione and our dear shipper Alphabet answered perfectly...Because believeing in Ron/Hermione was like believeing in trees, you don't question the existence of trees just like you don't question the existence of Ron/Hermione it's simply fact.


Teehee...that's sweet. even if you don't ship them, it's still a sweet explaination.
gal-texter
Thanks for digging up that quote, Open Minded. It must have been quite a job. It certainly was with the Pumpkin Pie quotes, so I truly appreciate your effort. I'll bet even the person who made that quote didn't expect that line to last for years. wink.gif

I hope we get more explanations why the R/Hr ship is called the "Good Ship"? smile.gif

TotalHermione
Agh! I can't read the original pumpkin pie story, I don't have a yahoo account and my parents wont let me get one, could somebody possibly copy/paste it, or have they already, or wut?
gal-texter
I inserted another link in the 2nd post. It's the "Fiction Alley" one, a re-post by the author herself. You'll also find links to that Pumpkin Pie story and her other one here. Just do a search for author "Narri".
TotalHermione
Aww, that's an awesome story. It made me go all mushy and think about a person....
And a very good ficlet to start the pumpkin pie phenominon. I've always liked pumpkin pie...especially with whipped cream...
Roan
Ooh, me too! I love pumpkin pie with whipped cream! Mmm-Mmm-Mmm! Scrumptious! I eat it during Thanksgiving.

After reading about 9 pages worth of posts on the origin of the HMS Pumpkin Pie & HMS Harmony, all I can say is: "Oh. My. God. Wow." I never knew the terms HMS Pumpkin Pie & HMS Harmony had a history! That was a very interesting tidbit of information which just boosted my H/Hr shippyness.

It comes from the common practice of putting good before a ship. The most commom example is the song "The Good Ship Lollypop".
BurningAura
Wow.. after reading all that, I believe it's the only word that will come to me atm. What a history. We didn't have all that when I was a "Rocketshipper". (Jessie and James from Pokemon -- yes, I know: how rediculous!)

Very cool ficlet too. That one goes in my Bookmarks.

I saw this at SQ and I have to ask now. Was H/Hr ever called "the Great Ship HHR"? This would probably have been around the time of HP for Grown Ups, the very beginnings of the debate? Also anyone happen to know if there is anything relating 87 to H/Hr?
thanks

Not that I'm aware of it however it is possible that previous the first official SCUSA Threads were opened that H/Hr was refered as:The Great Ship.
But this wasn't in case a real name like HMS Pumpkin Pie but just a subjective refering to it.

But anyway we might do there anyway in time a few research, so if I look at your sig could I get your help there? This regarding the Debate-Forum where we plan to have there orgins for H/Hr, H/G and R/Hr and of course a bit of history so I could use some help from your side. Just PM me if you're interest smile.gif
Joogie
Fishing around in SCUSA, I found that the eleventh H/Hr thread was named "The HMS Pumpkin Pie: The Great Ship H/H ", but further than that I haven't really found any other Great Ship references. Interesting, though. smile.gif

Pen asked me to come on over. I've been around FAP since its inception, first posted on thread # 2, so I guess I'm an oldbie biggrin.gif

No, H/H was never called the Great Ship. The name thing only ever came about on FAP and it was always Pumpkin Pie, after a line in Narri's fic.

I've been bugging my parents for ages to get me pumpkin pie and my mother is getting quite a bit annoyed, not that I blame her of course...

Pumpkin pie is my favorite dessert too. Followed by other flavors of pies and cheesecake too. I've always loved pumpkin pie but now because of what it represents it seems to taste even better than before. And it is the only one that can give me that feeling. YUM!

I've been bugging my mom to get me a pie too. She was like "okay, sure" at first but now she's really annoyed and mad at me for continually bringing it up. Well what can I say? I WANT PUMPKIN PIE! whistling.gif

No matter where I am my ears perk up and my head lifts whenever I hear the words "pumpkin pie"(along with the words Harry, Hermione, Ron, Potter and any other HP words) I instantly have to know where it came from, who said it, and whether they were referring to the ship or the dessert. It's rarely the ship but I can hope, can't I? Practically no one in my school ships H/Hr (except for me and my best friend). It's ironic, really, how I can pick up a Harry Potter word in a conversation across the noisy room but when someone's screaming my name down the hall I just keep on walking, totally oblivious. I can't even hear them. Probably because my mind is filled with thoughts of Harry and Hermione and pumpkin pie. wub.gif
Hermione Is Awesome
I too find it amusing that as long as I can remember I've always loved pumpkin pie. Particularly homemade pumpkin pie.

Once I became an H/H shipper, I was quite amused to find out it was the nickname for my favorite ship.

I also find it amusing how H/H fanfics these days have taken to working in a silly little pumpkin pie reference somehow. Its a great little running gag. smile.gif
Aprillis
I sorta prefer 'Harmony' to Pumpkin Pie (just because it sounds cooler), but nevertheless both are great nicknames. biggrin.gif

Harry + Hermione = Harmione, anyone? It sounds like Harmony, anyways.

Actually, Mad Eyed Mike, the person to come "HMS Harmony", explained once that he noticed that after he came up with the name Harmony, so it's not new news. But it's good to see some people noticing it...

Mod Note: Moved the following two posts from the H/Hr Main Forum. They originally formed a separate topic and I thought they would fit in this thread quite nicely ~Mirtilla

Well, I've been a H/Hr shipper for many years but didn't know much about Pumpkin Pie.

Can someone tell me everything and give a URL to the fanfiction where the name, Pumpkin Pie, has come from?
Mirtilla
Hi!

You can actually find this topic very interesting: H/H - origin of HMS Pumpkin Pie & HMS Harmony, Which name for the H/H ship?- in this topic you can find all the links that you need to know. biggrin.gif even the link to Narri's fic, the fanfiction where the name, Pumpkin Pie, has come from. smile.gif

I'm closing this topic. EDIT 22nd April: Merged the thread with "H/H - origin of HMS Pumpkin Pie & HMS Harmony"

MOD NOTE: merging this into a related thread
~gal-texter/Pen 8May2008


I don't understand the food references to all the relatonships.

I would've thought that Harry/Ginny would be pumpkin because of the orangeness of a pumpkin.

Where do all these descriptions come from and who are the members involved in each relationship?


Thanks
Philip
