I'm up way past my bed time, and maybe that accounts for the cranky...

I'm reading a truly godawful Harry Potter story. Full on Snapologia, complete with Suffering Slytherin backstory and my god. MY GOD. I want to rewrite scenes so badly. Instead of stuttering excuses--insults and threats. Instead of snuffling--hexes, throat punches and humiliating displays of emotional childishness (on Snape's part).

I want to leap into the fic, grab this limp blanket of a character by the shoulders and shake him.

"YOU'RE SEVERUS MOTHERFUCKING SNAPE, ASSHOLE. YOU DON'T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK. YOU INVENT A POTION THAT CREATES A SYNTHETIC EMOTIONAL STATE IN SPILLED MILK AND THEN INFLICT IRREPARABLE EMOTIONAL DAMAGE. ONE DAY THE MILK WILL WRITE A BOOK, DETAILING ITS STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME YOUR BULLYING, AND YOU WILL JUST SNEER IT INTO A RELAPSE. FROM A DISTANCE. SNAPE UP."

What's the point of writing Snape if you're going to downplay the depths of his assholery? idgi



Uh yeah. I'll be off to bed now.

Come to think of it, may I metaquote?
