Random Musings and a Fandom Question

[themostepotente]

Just because I feel like talking and think you all should listen :P

1.) Yay for TMP lurve at the lurve meme!

2.) Sectus ZOMG where are ju?

3.) I need to get shagged or snogged or summat. Taking volunteers.

4.) Campbell's chicken 'n stars soup roolz!

5.) This is for a fic, folks. What would adult Snape call his mother? Mum? Mam? Bitch? Mother sounds too informal and Malfoy-ish. Help?

Along with most everyone I'd vote for Mother as an adult and probably Mam (or however you'd write the droll British accent) as a kid. It doesn't seem to fit my picture of him to call his mother any kind of derogative term ... he is too controlled, composed and disciplined for that, and really, also too respectful, I'd say.

I agree. I think Eileen's the only one he's ever felt any love for, barring JK doesn't gag us with Snape/Lily :P

Definitely, I'd say that he loved her .. or still does love her ... and Snape/Lily ... the sad thing is, I can see JK write something like that, and I won't be surprised if I read it in DH. It is so wrong ... but aaaah well ... the power of LOVE ... and all.

It's not so much wrong as it is boringly predictable.

*butting in most rudely*


actually, i agree with cruentum. i'm attempting not to speculate too much, because i want to avoid any and all possible spoilers... but i'd say snape crushing on lily seems quite likely, given everything (both in the books and what jo has said in the past). i've actually been trying to steel myself for it...

honestly, though, i don't think i'd hate it that much. it doesn't seem entirely out of character, and if nothing else, would add a nice layer of angst to his younger self. mostly, i think it's that i'm not sure i want solid canon evidence that snape is straight. i much prefer having that open-ended.

. . .

although, now that i think of it... i guess the real question is, were his potential feelings for lily a large contributing factor in his joining the death eaters, and did he intentionally try to get the potters killed out of jealousy/revenge. because that is also something jo could seriously do, and that would be totally lame and out of character (out of the character most of us would like snape to have, anyway >_>).


...er, sorry. i'm rambling, as per usual. and this isn't even my conversation. oops?
