omg i raged so much about that too! SNAPE'S LOVE 4 LILY IS PASTEDE ON YAY. SIRIUS WHO?

it's kind of liberating, in a way, i feel that now that i'm no longer in the fandom i can be a cunt about it without fear of offending anyone with my opinions >_> I NO LONGER GIVE A SHIT.

also i know! i haven't been around lately. :( there hasn't been anything going on in my life that merits an lj post. i don't have much to say about spn now that cas isn't in it and no one here cares about my resident evil squee save for a couple people, so i save it for tumblr.

With you all the way, there. The Snape Apologists (sounds like a religion...) tend to demonise James too. *shakes head*

snapologists for short.

james was an ass too, but these people have a hundred excuses at the ready for snape's behavior while they'll crucify james for looking at him funny. w/e dudes.

Donate your life savings to the cause TODAY! *thumbs-up*

James was a dick, but he grew out of it. Snape never did.
I hate how superficial they consider Lily, as well. I mean, would anyone really want to marry someone who called them the wizarding equivalent of a very heavy racial slur?

~Ooooohhhh Lily
By coincidence I rewatched HBP last night, and it re-awakened feelings I thought I had moved on from. FFS Remus/Tonks WHY, WHAT WAS THE POINT, WHAT A STUPID FUCKING PAIRING

But on the other hand, holy balls, Harry/Draco. I'd forgotten how entirely gay for each other they are.

Re: ~Ooooohhhh Lily
is it true that it was even more of an abortion in the movie?

Re: ~Ooooohhhh Lily
IDK, I actually thought it was more bearable in the movie. Tonks doesn't wangst at all and she doesn't ~lose her powers~ (she does have shit hair, but that's because the costume people gave her a mullet for some reason). She calls Remus "sweetheart" and that's more or less it. I still don't like it, but it didn't make me want to brick in a window. (Or maybe by the time of the HBP movie I'd just stopped caring, IDK.)

(Using HP icons for the first time in months, huh)

I'm surprisingly secure enough in my R/S shipping to not mind that other pairings involving them exist (because, I mean, we all know who they really love), but I will nevernevernever understand people who ship Snape/Lily. He was a jerk to her friends! He called her a racial slur! He didn't care that her husband and probably her child would die for him to have her! OMG SO ROMANTIC!!!!!!!!

... :/

oh it's not really a security thing. it's the hp ship equivalent of having a bag of puke waved under my nose while someone insists that IT SMELLS WONDERFUL, REALLY. gosh, that's mean. :|

You haven't been posting much, so even if it's a raeg post, I'm so happy to hear from you. XDDD

And Jesus wept, I really don't know about people who like Snape. Sure, he turned out to be a useful guy--but I don't get how some people think that his love for Lily is even romantic. He chose his Death Eater friends over her and realised belatedly what he had given away. James is stupid prat, but he tried to 'improve' himself to get Lily's approval. Snape simply didn't care. :| It's probably just me, but I find that Snape fans are just too bloody unpleasant. I try not to talk to 'em too much.

i find it strange that a large number of them ship it when they seem to hate lily. oh wait they only ship it because lily owes it to snape & snape deserves her or something creepy like that.
