Oh god. I've been off the HP fandom for a few years now, but words cannot contain how much I glee'd when you intro'd Snape. The actual confrontation you and Flurry did as Snape and Levi made me glee, because I can totally see it happening. Plus Adrien Brody as your PB? A+++++++++.

So yeah, totally awesome to have you in Taxon :)

WOO THANK YOU \o/ He was my first great rp pup, and I'm trying to settle back into him after a long while of other things, so it is GOOD TO KNOW that I am hitting the right notes again.

I LOVE your Snape. LOVE. As much as I adore Alan Rickman's portrayal, I swear there are over 9000 Snape journals on LJ of varying quality that all basically have the movie interpretation. I cannot express how much I adore the fact that you took a different route with your Snape, who is simultaneously different enough to be refreshing, yet still perfectly in character.

One of my pet peeves about most Snape players is that they tend to be a snarky ass to everyone, even complete strangers attempting to engage in polite dialogue. I adore that your Snape knows how to converse with people politely, while still having just a hint of snark here and there, because let's face it; if Snape were impolite all the time, he never would have gotten anywhere.

As for the Brucolac, I love him already. His manner of speech alone makes me go :DDDD ♥.

LAAATE, but thank you, dahlink. Exploring who Snape is outside of what the books tell us (which is all from a very particular point of view) is a lot of fun.

As for the Brucolac, he is...EVEN MORE FUN. Differently-fun. Keeping him crass and poetic is always a challenge - I hope to keep it up!

this icon is ironic, yes

My god. SNAPE. FFFFFFFFFF.

You have no idea how much I flailed when I heard Snape was coming in-- actually, ask Lauren, because I think I went LKASJDFH to her first. Harry Potter was basically my childhood; those books were my life. While I'm not so into it anymore, it doesn't matter, because I have it right here in Taxon.

When we did the thread with Levi and Snape, it was like reading the books all over again. His responses were spot-on, the spells made me go FFFF YAY I REMEMBER THAT ONE and it was just wonderful. Someone else said that they love it that he's not a complete ass to everybody he meets, which is also something I agree with. Snape's an ass, but he's a masterminded ass, and you portray that wonderfully.

HAHAHAHA it is delightful

WELL I AM HAVING A GRAND TIME because it's not often I find someone who is willing to really...take a bite out of all that, but you are like NOM NOM and I am like "oh my god delicious" and I don't...know where this is going really but LET'S KEEP IT UP.

Most of all I love how, even outside of their personalities not matching up at all, Snape's attack is a chance to play up the fact that he is a prejudiced dick. It's a challenge for me as a player - handling something so very unsympathetic is hard and outside my comfort zone, but I find it easier to do with a player as enthusiastic and cool as you. :>

Snape is an absolute JOY to read, you've always had a way with words to convey everything in about half the words I end up using and I admire that like WOAH!

I'm unfortunately terribly primitive when it comes to HP, having never read the books and only vaguely seen the movies when my sons are watching them. TBH most of my Snape knowledge is from you and old school d_m Snape, and I tend to measure any others against that, which usually ends up in HUGE disappointment from any other versions. So, I reckon that's pretty positive feedback based on that! LOL

I need to go and read your Brucolac thread really >_< But the app was superb and I look forward to hearing/seeing more <3

My BELOVED SNAPPLEBY, I am so glad that you are in this game, you don't even know. Actually you do know. But I just wanted to tell you again, it pleases me. I am v. much looking forward to seeing where our EVIL PLANS take us and you know how fond I am of your Snape; the interpretation is, I think, very much in tune with the books while not being childish (let's be real, they are kids books, JUST COPE WITH IT). I remember when you FIRST EVER came to the nexus, did you know that? JSYK, I totally do. So I have been observing your Snape for MANY MOONS now, and while I am sometimes like well, Adrien Brody is pretty good looking for the good (ha ha) professor, at this point I couldn't really imagine ABBYSNAPE being anyone else and I am pleased that you kept that when you came here.

On the subject of the Brucolac: when I read the book and saw how in character your HILARIOUS WAMPIRE happens to be, I was v. impressed and I still am. FYI, Takh and I have concluded that Petrana has enough information from her friendship with Doul to work out that he was the man that Doul hallucinated on That Terrible Night, and she is going to be wildly curious about him. If I keep Carmilla, we should has Plots.

OH MY LOVE.

I should probably reply to your post NOW THAT I SEE THAT IT IS THERE, tricksy second page, and...okay I will do that too, but HERE AND NOW let me address various points raised.

1) Snape is old: THIS APPLIES BOTH TO ME PLAYING HIM and to Darling Adrien. Basically Snape is the best and even after all this time he is still...interesting and dynamic in an extremely resistant way, and can I TELL YOU how good it is to be playing him again?! I am still sortof poking at the whole ~*twooo wuuuuv*~ thing, because honestly, but by and large the canon update has been nice. :> And Darling Adrien is too pretty and mild, yes (you have seen how I drawr Snape, ref: icon, but there is no actor that looks like that) HOWEVER now I have icons of him making snarly-faces and I think it improves things. I am so excited about PLOTZ and will address that further ELSEWHERE.

2) So basically I never really thought I'd find a character I like as much as Snape, but then TAKHYS was all...seducing me with her ways, and now look at this undead monster I harbor in my heart of hearts. And I really can't thank you (and TK) enough for putting up with flat-out encouraging my utterly ridiculous backstory cheese. I'm going to downplay that more in Taxon, but it is all still there. MORE ELSEWHERE.

Furthermore, ilu. <3

1. I thought you might be very pleased to be playing him again and THUS I am especially pleased to contribute to this joy. I am available if you would like to speculate on how to make the TWOO WUV business work, ftr, I enjoy these sessions of sitting around deciding things. Also yessss the icons! Your new icons are QUITE GOOD. And I will further address PLOTZ in my next comment.

2. HAHA WELL it's really great backstory cheese and if I ever app the teacup to Taxon, I think we all know what is going to happen. You know. Well, you and I know. And Takh. I've thought about it a few times but I could really only do it if TK brought in his nibs, so who knows.
