Challenge from phoenixdru. Words: language, bait, chance. And Sirius Black. Wordcount: 201 (but I fudged the word count so it’s actually 210, same numbers though, see).
Sirius Black was a rash, abrasive idiot and you couldn’t not love him if you tried.
I think that's probably one of the most true things said about him. He's so aggravating and has a total lack of foresight (no matter how much time he's given to mull something over), but even though you know all this, you still love him.
Lovely. Very in-character, it feels. The line about ordinary words not being able to encompass his feelings is amusing; most people say that the use of swear words indicates a small vocabulary, but I've never really thought so. It all depends on how much you use them and what they mean to you. If you only say 'fuck' like every other blue moon, then it means something. Just because somebody else uses it every other sentence doesn't lessen it's meaning to you personally. But I digress.
Anyway, very nice. Very true. It didn't leave me feeling something in particular, which is odd for you -- usually your work makes me feel something, even if it's just that I'm left with a vague sense of sadness/contentment/glee/whatever. I did like how right it was, though. :)
He's so aggravating and has a total lack of foresight ... but even though you know all this, you still love him. Yes, exactly. And all he can get away with doing the most stupid infuriating things, that in someone else you would never tolerate, but with him it just makes you love him more.
most people say that the use of swear words indicates a small vocabulary , but I've never really thought so Yes, and yes again. I've always thought of swears as extra emphasis, where good emphasis or bad, and when really I swear up a fucking storm. (heh)
