05. That kinda looks like pocketowl's art. Interesting. Not even remotely period-accrurate (which ruins it for me. Drawing Snape a la the 70's is the best part!) but fun.


15. Fandom adds the wacky, and honestly, it's hard to get any wackier than the source material.


28. HAHA! I do that too! I do that all the time! It's been ages since I actually sat down and wrote things out, but I still think 'em up. And I don't drink much. But then, when we did it back in high school, it was with Sprite.

29. I like being serious business about my fandoms. I mean, obviously you have to mock them too, but I like obsessing over the details for funsies, and few things get me as pissed off as people being rude for rudeness sake, like, say, posting spoilers and then laughing when people get upset. It's not so much that it's srs bzns, just that it's dickish and that's not what fandom should be about.


46. I don't know why, but I just have absolutely no patience with insecurity, especially like this. If you whinge and cringe away from social contact and need to be affirmed that, oh sweetie, you are an interesting/cool person, really!... then people are going to get tired of you in a quick fast hurry. Post your art. If people like it, they like it. I've made friends on dA. I've made friends in art school. It doesn't matter if you "live up to your art" (what?). Roll the dice and see what happens and have some friggen confidence in yourself.



52. Okay, firstly, she looks like a cartoon version of Marilyn Munroe-meets-Bettie Davis, so I'm not sure how/where you get "ugly." That's a personal opinion, though. This bit isn't--pointless? She drives the plot at least three times that I can think of, first by adding conflict to the kid's entry into Neverland, secondly by getting kidnapped by the pirates, and thirdly by siding with Captain Hook. She adds levels of relevant conflict, so she's certainly not pointless.
But that aside, me, I like her because she's a selfish, mean, b***** character. I think it makes her cool and interesting (not emulatable, though). It's nifty that she's based on a pin-up queen and is the only Disney character who gets listed as both a semi-Princess and a Villain.

All that said, I hate that recently, she's been more like a cutesy, spunky, hey-little-girls-don't-you-wanna-be-like-her? kind of character.


58. YES YES YES YES YES!!!
(especially since he's not going to, y'know, "end up with" anyone)
