I don't understand AT ALL.

People who hate characters for being bad people baffle me.

I've only ever hated a character because I thought they were boring, pointless, or completely mishandled.

This.

And actually, I lost interest in Snape after the last book, because of how Rowling handled him then.

Which is probably awful of me, but idgaf, she undercut everything she'd made compelling about him.

That said, this argument, just.

I wouldn't want to MARRY him, but I sure liked reading about him?!

I didn't mind Snape in the last book because I sort of saw it coming and I thought it generally worked out okay-- he was still

a raging asshole.

I think she overdid it. I didn't have a problem with the motif or events so much as how she presented them.

But regardless, the last book being a hit-or-miss thing doesn't change the fact that he... is still a pretty good character.

And that may just be me as a writer getting aggravated because she laid it on too thick.

Yeah, she did lay it on thick. XD A lot of the last book was that way

Well, I probably misrepresented what I meant--I don't hate him or anything now. I'm just not as emphatically fond.

I still like him. :V

Yeah, makes sense!

I also like Percy, for the record. SO.

For what it's worth, I never cared much about the Snape-Lily relationship.

... me neither, aha. I mean, it explained some things, but.

I mean, I thought it was sad and explained things adequately so it was fine! But I didn't get all

torn-up over it like a lot of people did.

It was just sort of another part of the story for me.

...well. I'm not capable of getting torn-up about things, so. This.

Yeah-- I DO get torn-up about things that really hit me-- but it didn't 'really hit me'. XD

I should be in bed, but here I am struggling to explain my thoughts on a character in a tiny word limit at 5 AM.

Life choices!

I can't explain how I really feel about Snape in these tiny boxes, though.

He's complicated and interesting and I like him a lot.

But I am frustrated with Rowling's acumen as a writer in general, and that eventually led me to be frustrated with the series.

So that colours my opinions on everyone now?

what I really should have said from the beginning.

I hope I did not clarify this too late, uh.

Oops, Kit is gone. TOO LATE.

I will sit here with regrets about being poorly articulate now.

NO WAIT I'm still here
