A century or something ago I posted this meme in which people could ask me to blog about something I don't usually blog about.
Now, as my new job has disastrous consequences on my leisure time and I don't get round to checking my private e-mail anymore, my journaling activities are at an all time low. But that doesn't mean I don't try to keep in the loop, and I do attempt to do something with all those hours I spend on the train. As I have no means to be on the Net while on the move, the best thing I can think of is to draw. The circumstances are not ideal, but I do manage more or less. In any case: the next entry in the meme blogging series is a picture, drawn on the train.

ellecain asked, "What d'you think would happen if Oscar Wilde and Severus Snape met accidentally on the street?"
Well... Actually I would have a hard time thinking of two men who are more unlike. Wilde was by all accounts a charming (if pretentious) man, a very talkative man also, who liked to laugh out loud at his own jokes. He loved life, he loved art; he was whimsical, promiscuous and absolutely artistic. Of course he could be deeply serious also, and he had great learning.
Now, Snape... Frankly, I have never bought any of those stories in which Snape is cultivated or artistic, much less both. In fact I am inclined to believe that Snape would despise most of the things Wilde stood for. Oh, and I do think it likely he's homophobic, despite all the slashing that goes on in fandom. So here is what I make of that chance encounter:
;-)

It's true, he does have some artistic flair, and he is certainly image-conscious - but I don't think he'd cultivate an artistic temperament as such, or admit to himself that it's artistic - if that makes any sense *g*.
Thank you!
