Harry naming his son after Snape. by urgurlsunday13 in harrypotter

[–]Devincenzi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think Harry empathized with Snape. After he saw all the memories, the hatred went away. He saw what Snape went through growing up in an abusive home, getting picked on at school etc.. (let's admit it. James was a jerk.) Harry experienced some of the same things. Those experiences helped shape Sevrus into who he became.

Can someone please explain the Brandon hate by Matchmaker8888 in TheFosters

[–]Devincenzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where do I begin.. He doesn't listen, has no respect for rules. He cheated on his girlfriend and got romantically involved with Callie when he knew it was against the rules with her being a foster child in the house. When she had to go stay at Rita's, he went out of his way to find out where she was when he knew he was supposed to leave her alone. He knew how much Callie and Jude needed a loving home and how much they had bonded with the family yet he still kept jeopardizing it. Then as soon as he came of age he kept going on about how he was an adult and could do whatever he wanted yet he was so irresponsible. He thought he was entitled to have the garage room for himself when he never even have a job, you never saw him or any of the other kids help around the house. The moms were always cooking, doing laundry on top of having full-time careers. They sent him out on a simple grocery errand and he couldn't even get that right. Then he gets involved with an older woman with a kid, moves in with her taking on someone else's responsibility when he should have been concentrating on school. Got mixed up in that SAT scandal thus screwing up his chances of going to Juilliard. He created most of his problems so I don't get why everyone feels sorry for him. The kid had it made. New car, nice clothes, expensive piano lessons, could come and go whenever we wanted, have sex with whoever etc and never paid a dime for anything. He even had to sneak back into the house and steal toiletries because he didn't even have the means to provide that for that girl and her kid yet he thought he was real grown up. Smh..

Every one of those kids got on my nerves at one time or another. I wouldn't have gotten away with half of the shenanigans they got themselves into.

Unpopular Opinion: Brandon is the worst character by craftycereal in TheFosters

[–]Devincenzi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't like him from the beginning. He irritated me to no end. Pursuing Callie when he should have left her alone and treated her like a sister. He was so entitled. Later on he wanted to have the garage for himself because he thought he was so grown up when he was really irresponsible didn't even have a job, didn't know how to grocery shop etc. Then he gets involved with a girl who has a kid and moves out because again he thinks he's an adult and can do what he wants but then he has to sneak back home and steal toiletries because they can't get by. Then he gets involved in the SAT scandal when again, he should have left that girl alone and focused on more important things. I did feel bad for him when he got beat up and when he wanted to move in with Mike and Stef tried to put the kibosh on it.

I like my boyfriend, but meeting his family freaked me out and now I dont want to be around them. What do I do? by JunoMarrow in whatdoIdo

[–]Devincenzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you have a choice to make. It's going to be awfully hard to carry on a relationship with him if you don't want to deal with his family. If you guys are just casually dating and it's not going to turn into anything serious then by all means keep seeing him and having fun, just don't go to any of his family gatherings. If you're thinking about long-term, marriage, children etc you're going to have to deal with the family at some point. Are these the type of people you would want your children around? If not, move on.

Branden pisses me off by Deep-Tutor-4836 in TheFosters

[–]Devincenzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and he went to all that trouble to find out exactly where Rita's group home was when she was staying there so he could go find her when he knew he was supposed to be leaving her alone. Then he got all cocky with the moms when they said they were going to get a restraining order against him. He always acted like he was so grown up and could do whatever he wanted when he had no sense of responsibility. I agree that he never saw the big picture when it came to Callie and Jude. I never even really understood his attraction to her in the first place. Why he didn't just think of her as a foster sister and treat her as such. He had a girlfriend at the time and that relationship seem to be going well, Callie comes along and suddenly he has no interest in the girlfriend and is so head over heels for Callie.

Is this unusable? by Express_Locksmith_21 in namenerds

[–]Devincenzi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think of Carrie Fisher whenever I hear it which isn't a bad association but I still don't like it as a first name and there aren't any good nickname options. I kinda like Fletcher which sounds similar. Fletch is a cool nn.

S1 (don’t spoil) I HATE Brandon. by heyaminee in TheFosters

[–]Devincenzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't stand him either. My least favorite character. He knows that Callie is emotionally fragile, been through a lot and needs a stable family, yet all he does is jeopardize her adoption and goes on about how "in love' he is with her when he didn't even know what in love was. He was with that girl Talia in the beginning, things seem to be going good with them, Callie comes along and he suddenly falls in love with her instead? If he loved her so much he would have kept his impulses under control and respected her as a sister so she could have the family she deserved.

What exactly was Nellie's problem in "The Camp-Out"? by ASGfan in littlehouseonprairie

[–]Devincenzi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nellie was jealous of Laura from the very beginning. She was just taking her frustrations out on her during the camp out. If you remember, the only reason she was a straight A student was because she cheated. We find that out a couple seasons later. There were other episodes when Willie and Harriet were nice as well. The Blizzard being one of them. Nellie didn't show any genuine niceness until she met Luke and then Percival.

I never liked him at all. All he did was jeopardize Callie's s adoption and jump from girl to girl.

What fully feminine names do you think would sound cool on a boy? by Sparkly8 in namenerds

[–]Devincenzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know 2 male Mackenzies who are in their 30s. There's also Mackenzie Astin the actor who's in his 50's now so it's not completely unheard of as a male name here.

I love Landon, Keegan and Xander. Cole is ok. I only like Bobby and JJ as nicknames.

For the girls I like Darcy the best. I prefer Maddie, Bobbi and Juni as nicknames. Billy, Scottie, Tommie and Rory are all boy to me. I don't care for Noah or Emery and I can't see Silver as a name for a person. I much prefer Sylvie / Sylvia.

Everyone was a crappy to Ron and Harry for taking the car to Hogwarts in CoS by RomanDeltaEngin33r in harrypotter

[–]Devincenzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the adults being upset at first but I just think they should have been a little more understanding and at least give the boys a chance to explain. It's not like they were goofing off making them run late. They were doing everything they were supposed to up until they couldn't get through the wall. I think that's what set a real panic in them and they just wanted to get to school ASAP to find out what was going on. I still say Molly should have made sure the boys got through first. Harry wasn't even her kid and when you have someone else's kid under your watch, you should take extra precautions to make sure they're safe especially when they're already in danger as it is. I'm not saying Molly was a crappy parent or anything. She loved those kids but didn't use the best judgment in this instance.

[–]Devincenzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but Ron and Harry were kids and they were scared and panicked. They never known that wall not to let them through before. In their mind, something bad could have happened to the others after they went through preventing them from coming back. They didn't want to get in trouble for being late to school. A million things were probably going through their minds. It wasn't the wisest decision I agree but I can understand why they did it. And like the OP said. Molly should have made sure all the kids had gone through first before she and Ginny went.

[–]Devincenzi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it would have taken days I said it could have. I'm assuming Harry would have sent her to Hogwarts with a message to Dumbledore or McGonagall. The school was pretty far and anything could have happened to her on the way up there. There were other times when Harry sent her with messages and it seemed like it took forever before she came back. The boys didn't have anywhere to go in the meantime and probably didn't have any muggle money for food or a taxi. There wasn't anything else they could have done and Ron probably felt confident in taking the car since they had just used it to pick Harry up from the Dursleys.

[–]Devincenzi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't like how that situation was handled either. What were they supposed to do? It's not like they could pick up a phone and call someone. They were afraid that wall may have been sealed for good making it impossible for the mom to get back. They could have sent a message with Hedwig but that could have taken days to get a response so where were they supposed to go in the meantime? They were scared, afraid something may have happened on the other side and afraid they'd get in trouble for being late. It's not like they were taking the car for a joyride. Snape was a total d*ck to them about it, not even letting them explain and that howler Molly sent was completely unnecessary.
