Description Evelyn Black and Caitlin Sullivan (of ~LadyMacbeth1755 's AMAZING fan universe) talking on the phone during a period of several days, as sisters living in two different countries would normally do (Caitlin lives in Doolin, Ireland and Evelyn has spent the last few months living in Cokeworth, Greater Manchester, UK). But within every conversation between these two sisters, Evelyn keeps bringing up her next-door neighbor, a snarky, reclusive, surly, hooked-nosed, greasy-haired 38-year-old male who's name needs no mention, more and more.

And with each conversation, the sensible, playful Caitlin keeps asking "AND JUST WTF KIND OF NAME IS 'SEVERUS'???"

Yes, I did look up what mobile phones looked like in 1998, because they've evolved so much I forgot what they looked like back then. They weren't quite the cinderblocks they were in the 80's and early 90's, but they were still cumbersome!

And Evelyn is pouring herself a glass of Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey in the lower-left.

You can read the whole thing and peruse through her amazing illustrations here: [link]

*Evelyn Black and Caitlin Sullivan belong to and Severus Snape belongs to J.K. Rolwing.

Love the old style phone! Also, what is Evelyn's elixir of choice in the lower bottom left?

Ooh, I must buy a bottle! I like Jameson's, but this looks tasty!

killing a bottle -- right out of the bottle -- as I type! LOL!!! There were a few drops left over from the holidays and the bottle was taking up space. Plus it's freezing today so why bother dirtying a glass if I'm not going to put ice in it?

I definitely recommend it: it kicks Jameson's ass (at least to me).

And I have no doubt that in a fanfic of this high quality, Caitlin's name is not pronounced "KATE-lin" (as if it were English) but "kat-LEEN" (because it's Irish!)

I don't really know any Irish, but I took some lessons in Scottish Gaelic a few years back, and picked up a bit about Irish at the same time. That's how I learned the proper pronunciation of Caitlin. My own Gaelic name is SeΓ²na Beg (Little Jana).

Are Scottish and Irish Gaelic much different? The language of Northwestern Spain (which is the root language of Lusitanian (a.k.a. 'Portuguese') has many similarities with Gaelic as well.

I'm no expert, but they're probably about as similar as Spanish and Portuguese.

No problem! ^_^ I actually want to collab on a fanfic with Evelyn's creator. I've read the fanfics, and they are AMAZING!
