      Like I do not think JKR is a great and subtle writer but the reason people liked Snape is that of all the major adult characters he's the most complex, he's the closest to being actually 3D His whole thing is failure, self-loathing, contradictory impulses, internal division

      The "Snapewives" thing ignores ALL OF THAT They had this free-floating image of "dark, capricious, dangerous masculinity" in their head and they just projected this character from a popular book onto him even though it sounds NOTHING LIKE HIM

      (If I really wanted to engage my old Potter fandom analysis muscles I'd say the self assured cocky bad boy they're talking about is actually Sirius Black and all the things they like about "Snape" are things the canon Snape loathed about Sirius and James But whatever)

      It's just funny how often this happens Like this guy I knew in college had this weird thing where he thought of Miles Vorkosigan from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga was his "spiritual guide" and wrote these lengthy posts on LJ giving himself advice in "Miles'" voice

      And I don't want to be too harsh on this guy who was, after all, only a kid and was going through some shit But those posts were AWFUL to slog through And the voice of the "Miles" character was unbearable It actually put me off reading the books for a long time

      Which is a shame, because obviously the books are nothing at all like those posts Not just that Bujold was, obviously, a better writer But that it felt like he totally missed the point of the character - Miles in the books was the OPPOSITE of the voice of those posts

      Miles in the books is indeed an immensely appealing character and I can see why you'd latch into him This disarming vulnerability and self-deprecation mixed with a harsh, remorseless sense of pragmatism, an uncompromising conscience demanding he do what must be done

      Yeah, there are quite a few people in those books I would go to for advice, including both Aral and Cordelia, Alys, Ekaterin, even Ivan.

      So, the grrlz are in favor of various characters and Arthur is mistakenly focused on Miles?

      I mean I'm talking about Miles because this guy in college was obsessed with Miles

          Yeah, the rest of us are just indulging our fannish desire to chitchat about the series.

          P sure we're all in agreement about Miles.
