IT IS fjaslfjasdlkfj

....haha I should probably bring Simon back from his unannounced update D8 JUST MAYBE. Possibly. I'll probably do it in a few minutes after I OMNOMNOM on something alfjasdlfjI STILL CANNOT GET OVER THIS MEETING fjsaljfl

:DD
~~HOLY CRAP YOU'RE FROM MINNESOTA TOO??~~

When you are constantly put down and picked on and have no reprieve from that in your home life, you cannot be a functioning adult with the ability to decipher right from wrong.

I think Harry Potter would disagree- having grown up in with a seemingly worse background- abuse, neglect, not a single bit of love. Except there's no evidence Snape grew up in a necessarily abusive house, just that he seemed to have issues with his father which could mean a lot of things. Oh and he was poor, but once again Harry the same. Oh it's true Harry ended up with mentors and the like and actual friends, but that's because from the beginning he made good choices. From the beginning Snape made bad ones.

HOLY FUCK I LOVED THAT MOVIE. I thought I was the only one who ever saw it. :o Seriously, I adored Snow White in it. Don't get me started on Thunderella, or the "Shadow Man" either...

I understand what you're saying. Snape didn't care about Harry. But you still don't understand his character. I'm not denying that he was damaged; he was severely damaged and wrong in most of his choices in life, especially when he joined the DE. However, you are assuming that he is capable of a healthy relationship at that age - that he was simply being selfish. He *was* being selfish, but there was a reason for that. His home life, childhood, and teenage years created a person who had nothing. He thought he owned Lily because she offered him friendship and affection. These were two things he probably never received as a child. And any child psychologist will tell you how terribly important it is for a baby to be shown affection. He was clinging on to the only person who was offering that to him. Given his past, I can easily see why he would have felt he had to do that. I'm not saying his relationship with Lily was romantic and sweet and healthy. It wasn't. It was tragic. But not because he was an asshole. He was just a poor kid who was misled by everyone in his life. He didn't know up from down or right from wrong. He was just thinking of himself in order to survive. Is that right? Is that brave? Of course not. But it isn't shameful. It's sad and horribly tragic.

That is an amazing username. XD;

...

DON'T SAY IT FREAKAZOID!

Maaaaybe. XD GO FORTH AND OMNOMNOMNOM ANYTHING YOU CAN!!! Ohnoes I hope Nia will be okay. ;o; I KNOW IT'S SO DAMN COOLDFK JSHELKJFSIDufy;dygjhet

I think it's proof that we rock. Srsly. >__>

Ooooooooh. That's not really how I meant that. If you DON'T hate on anyone for the sake of being a newcomer than you are not stuck up, and thus the statement does not really apply. It's less "Everyone hates newcomers ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE NEWCOMERS" and more "older fans who are stuck up may hate new comers just for being new".

Clearly I could have phrased that better. I found another grammar error while I was working at it. But obviously no, not all old players hate new players just because they are new. But the mentality of "I got here first makes me better than you" is a common trend just about everywhere.

iawts

Thunderella, Critterina, Sunburn, Muddy, Marina, Moonbeam, and fuck... I forget the character Zsa-Zsa played. Something like "Blossom".

YES I STILL REMEMBER THEIR NAMES I HAVE NO LIFE

OH YES AND PHYLIS DILLER PLAYED THE MOST KICKASS MOTHER NATURE EVER

And your point is...?

Harry had friends. He had Dumbledore. He had the teachers and many adults in the Wizarding World who looked up to him. Snape had no one. It is made quite clear in the novels (not just DH) that when Snape was a student, the teachers didn't particularly like him, including Dumbledore. He also didn't have friends other than Lily or the random DE that used him. As for affection, Harry received affection from both parents as a baby. And though he may not remember it, it still had an impact on him. He knew he *had* been loved greatly. Snape never had that sense.

7. You should come hang out with me, in the cool part of the fandom that doesn't care which game/movie you came in with as long as you aren't an idiot about it. :D

*SPORFLE* YOU WIN

I agree so hard.
I stopped following the anime/manga after Hachi/Nobu ended. And I started hating her.

Do you mean the sequel? I found a live-action movie that claimed to be the follow up to it at a video rental place. Someone has to have the license for it then,

See above comment and... Snape's bad choices let him to where he was. He chose being a Death Eater over genuine affection from Lily, but the mistake was made years before when he chose Slytherin over Lily. This is not to say that Slytherins are inherently bad, but he chose Slytherin pride over the one friend he had. Lily was sorted before Snape. The thing is he DIDN'T cling to her. He expected her to accept everything he did, but if he'd actually clung to her, followed her around like a puppy- he would have made more good choices. Maybe not the healthiest course of action, but healthier than what he ended up doing.

?He didn't know up from down or right from wrong. He was just thinking of himself in order to survive.

Survive? Like his survival was threatened by choosing Lily over hanging out with future death eaters? Slytherin over Lily? Mistreating Harry over at least being tolerable?

I don't see how Snape is not an asshole. I do think I understand his character. I'm not saying he's not sympathetic, but he's certainly an extremely spiteful and jealous, even cruel man. And he did care nothing about the death of a child, as the OP said.

Okay, so it maybe it is kinda cheesy, but it's a nice sentiment and I wish it would happen. The fandom would be better off without all the hatewank.

And we n00bs who care do try to make sure we get that original-game exposure. It's just damn hard sometimes, with the game being 10 years old and almost impossible to find (especially for a reasonable price) unless you're lucky enough to know someone who has a copy. I was one of the lucky ones myself, but...

HAHAHAHA. But thank you, when I saw no one had it I just had to take it.

9. Dude, It's King fuckin' Mickey. I'd take him over any of the other characters, anyday.

That is to say: Word.

Well, Zuko kind of did try to connect in the first episode when he admitted to be afraid of going home. She kind of brushed him off, told him not to worry, and then walked away.

However, what's really interesting, is that the creators were talking about how most officials and [new] royalty (I say new because the concept of there being "royalty" in the Fire Nation is new, in itself) are arranged. It's sort of falling into that category where Zuko believes that he will be happy with that.

But Zuko is a stupid teenage boy.

Total *word* on that post, man. I was very disappointed to find out that the three consecutive games were all for mobile devices, as well. And the cellphone trend is really starting to piss me off, because I might want to play these games, but not on my goddamed cellphone, COME ON.

YES IT DOES
