darth_stitchRant in 5...4...3...2....1...
You know how annoying is the sound of nails or fork tines scratching across a board, right?
Teeth-gritting, nail-biting, full-body wincing and cringing, headdesking, madness-inducing, wrath of Evil Alien Going All Out Ballistic-producing Annoyance.
That is exactly how I feel each and every time I keep seeing the nickname "Sevvie" actively tagged on Severus Snape in a fan fic. I can live with it if a character in the fic (I can see Sirius doing this-heheh) felt like beingsuicidal annoying and called him that to drive the poor snarky bastard bananas. Fine. Comic device, I can live with that.
But for Severus (whatever his middle name is, take your pick) Snape to actively call himself "Sevvie" or to allow himself to be called "Sevvie" even by his Significant Other (insert your Snape ship of choice here) is Just. Not. Bloody. Likely.
He is NOT, I repeat, NOT a "Sevvie." He does not even remotely LOOK like a Sevvie. If he was, I keep imagining this cute widdle teddy bear with a bow tie and god help me, Severus Snape, greasy hair, big nose, sneering mouth, drama queen extraordinaire does NOT remotely resemble a cute cuddly stuffed annimal.
(even if my Harry Muse insists on using his Severus as a pillow at times....but I digress)
"Severus" is rather an intriguing name. A lovely name, even, one I might tag on my poor unsuspecting future child. If I ever do, I might call him "Sev" but I'd never humiliate the kid by hollering "SEVVIE-KINS!!!! COME HOME FOR DINNER!!!"
Sigh. Sorry. This rant was brought to you by one too many baaaaad Sevvie *cringecringecringe* Snape-fics.
Now, I'd better look for my still missing Harry Muse and get back to work on As You Wish.
