a birthday in the dark

I hear I'm a bad fangirl if I don't write this.

---

Unto my most esteemed Severus Snape, wherever you are hiding out (we'll find you yet!), I bid a pleasant and peaceful birthday. I liked you from the moment I saw you, but (though I shame myself to say it in public) it is only over the past six months that my appreciation and admiration have developed into adoration, like so many lovely tones of grey on the paper in a darkroom tray. Those same six months have, on your account, taken me into some strange places and tried to install into my thick head some still-puzzling lessons, but it has been a comfort to be accompanied by legions of the similarly Severely afflicted.

Also, the pr0n has been most enjoyable.

Sincerely,

Esmestrella

P.S. So the mystery ingredient was Sequoia sempervirens? Clever, clever. Not to mention in violation of phytosanitary regulations, I'm sure. Any means, eh?

Snapecast 26

I feel a little annoyed with what I hear as the opinions expressed in the "Snape &" segment in this last Snapecast. ( Read more... )

I'm not really taking it all that personally (that would be silly, anyway -- it's not like they said "Esme is a fat alien slime and a pedophile and eats poopoo for dessert", to paraphrase an acquaintance of mine). I just wanted to get my thoughts out.

I do hopefully agree with the "final thought" that kids who later reread this series as adults might wonder how they could have been anything but Snape fans. ;)


ETA: Yes, issues with joining a group late and being valued less because of it. You guessed right; now here's Don Pardo to tell you what you've won!

Severus Snape and Lucious Malfoy go to a Night Club in the 1960s i was bored when i wrote this idk if ill continue

The bouncer looked Lucius up and down with a frown, then held his hand about a foot over the boy's head. "Forget it, Blondie. You must be this tall to ride this attraction."

He turned his eyes towards Severus, whose arms were folded over his little chest and whose face bore a scowl that might one day become truly mighty. "And you, you scrawny thing, quit making that face. It's not going to make your age go into the double digits any faster."

The bouncer shook his head. "A bit of advice, boys: next time, at least have gone through puberty before trying to sneak into a club."

Even the darkest skies have their stars. But what if the stars die; does the darkness just fade away? With the turn of each page,I can feel the stars burning out again as they did so long ago, and I fear,when I reach the last page, I may not have any left

...I'm stumped. Can anyone else deduce what this story is supposed to be about? (Reading it didn't help much.)

"The boy reminded him of a heptagon. Hyper energy pulled in too many directions."

...what? The only way I know how to compare anyone to a polygon is by calling them "a square". Is this actually a whole class of expressions I wasn't previously aware of? And why is seven the number best representative of "too many"? Wouldn't even more be worse? "The boy reminded him of a tetracontagon." Yeah, I like that.
