Two more songs for the Snapemix

Plus a question for the mod

Lyrics and titles behind the cut to not spoil anyone who hasn't read the book yet (also because lyrics uncut can be an Unforgiveable-worthy offense)

I was avoiding it for as long as I could, mainly because I don't want to see this comm turn into a non-stop squee-fest for Snape/Lily. However, since it's canon now, yes, it's ok to discuss Snevans.

He deserved better.

He deserved better.

He really did. For reasons I've ranted about in my other journal, I don't think Lily was that great of a catch.

I saw them, and you have a point.

But one thing we have to realise is, we really don't get to see a very complete Lily. We're only seeing, really, the parts of her where Snape is blaming himself for having driven her away. I think we need to give Snape SOME credit for devoting his life to this person-surely she had SOME good qualities. She says she defended him; we don't see that, because we don't need to, because all that would do is cement that he loved her and that she apparently felt something for him, even if it was only platonic.

"Mudblood" is an UNFORGIVEABLE thing to have said to someone, and she was right for being upset about it, and he was just stupid for saying it. And he also, in his awkward teenaged years, didn't do a good job of differentiating to Lily why she was different and it seems she took understandable umbrage to that.

Well you could always put rules on it and say something like "it can't be lame" . . . but oh wait, "lame" is canon. *facedesk*

*sigh*

I actually like Snape/Lily, but I was really apprehensive about Jo doing it because she does Romance SO. POORLY.

God, I was right. *facedesk*

Yeah, I called it, too, and liked it, myself . . . Now I'm working out whether or not I like it; I think considering we don't have all the messy details, there's enough to be worked with to make it tolerable. (Ie: Convince ourselves we just saw him at his most emo moments, lol . . . ).

Sometimes love really does makes really un-lame people pretty darn lame, though. I guess Snape just had it really, really bad.

I like how all the fuss about Harry having Lily's eyes being important was just because that's what Snape wanted to see when he died . . .

I didn't like it at all. I think it cheapened the story, it made him look creepy and stalker-like, and you know, EVERYBODY ELSE who "fell in love" at Hogwarts got married and lived Happily Ever After (tm), so that was yet another thing that was cruelly, brutally unfair to him.

saiariddle July 26 2007, 03:07:43 UTC

yeah, I'm not putting it past other people to make Snape/Lily good (haven't read many fics though), but Jo just SUCKS at romance. :(

cmwinters July 26 2007, 06:22:30 UTC

Which is *exactly* why I didn't want to see her do it, but in my wildest nightmares I didn't think it would be THAT bad. *gag*

virgofolkie July 25 2007, 23:26:02 UTC

He deserved better, true; but love does tricky things to us sometimes...

ladystrange2000 July 25 2007, 23:27:52 UTC

Indeed. Even if we could tell him he deserves better, he probably wouldn't believe it.

saiariddle July 26 2007, 03:06:30 UTC

He deserved better.

Hell to the YES on this one. Ugh....
