Mm kay, I've got a drink in my hand, a rat in my lap (Emma says: "Hi."), and I'm ready to start my rant. This is the one that I've had saved up for awhile now, and let out in small increments at various forums every now and then, but never have put the full-blown, spittle-flying rage that this topic sends me into in a whole, concise format before ( Read more... )

you forgot one last thing....when he went through that curtain, what was he doing? he was laughing at bellatrix for missing him the first time...another pointer in this express traing, don't you think? lol, unless i'm missing your point...

My point was mostly that he wasn't that good of a person. That last thing just proves that he was stupid, to boot.

Although, it does raise the issue of why, if he was rushing to the rescue of his godson, he got so wrapped up in his personal issues with Bellatrix that he completely forgot what he was doing there in the first place.

heh and here i was, first reading in the third book about this unknowingly innocent murderer godfather, not seeing any of those above points you mentioned and what they could possibly mean...i think you just altered my whole view in harry potter....*rushes to reread 3-6* :P

I have a stupidly good memory of books/TV/movies that I love. Never ask me anything about Buffy. I won't shut up for hours.

I see you like tigers. If you want, you can check out my personal journal. There's a link to it from this journal. I went to an exotic feline rescue a couple of weeks ago, and got some pretty decent pics.

UGH! AMEN. Yeah, it sucks that Harry doesn't have a godparent now. Boo-hoo. But really, he doesn't need someone like that lurking over his shoulder, influencing him to make bad decisions.

LYKE, OMGZ, HE HAS A FLYING MOTORCYCLE, HOW SEXI. I LOV HIM.

Fuck you, Hitler had a really sexy car, too!

YES YES YES.

I get into this argument with my parents (omg, yes, we talk about hp together, shut up *blushes*) because my dad really like sirius. James, the man who produced Harry, was a good man, based on the lack of evidence we actually have of him. James, the boy before he met Lily? Is a stupid immature moron with bullying tendencies. That's not fun for the others around him, but he's also fifteen so I'll forgive him a little.

Sirius? Sirius was a Black through and through. The fact that he had slightly molifying influences, particularly Lupin, does not change the fact that he is as callous, as shallow, as petty, and as instinctively cruel and violently dangerous as the rest of that derranged side of the family. That he wasn't as coldly calculating is one of his saving graces, and that's not saying much ( ... )

I get into the same argument with my boyfriend. He tends to buy into the macho, male rolemodel fantasy without thinking overly hard about what the characters actually embody. Or ignoring the aspects that he doesn't like in favor of the ones that he does.

I don't think JKR knows what she's doing sometimes. I think she gets ahead of herself and creates a big, ole plotmonster without meaning to, and then backtracks to try and fix it or ignores it completely. My biggest gripe of all is Snape. Unless she reveals something truly enlightening in the next book, she has fucked that poor man up so badly he's nearly unrecognizable at this point.

Word. I never understood why people thought he was the sweet/caring uncle sort. His prioties were unsorted at best, at worst he was a danger to Harry.

But I still wouldn't kick young!sirius out of bed. Just saying.

Stupid LJ. I meant to use this icon.

Hot as he may have been, Sirius undoubtedly would have been the sort of pretty boy whose opinion of his skills in bed is far greater than the reality. Give me Snape any day. I bet all that brooding, self-loathing repression would make for some incredibly rough, angry and thoroughly satisfying sex.

ciel_vert October 19 2006, 03:09:28 UTC

I don't feel very stongly about Sirius one way or the other. But well said. :)
