I decided that Severus would choose to do just about anything that left him a free man without the stresses of serving a cold, cruel puppetmaster. (He couldn't wait to get away from Voldemort, either.) So rather than illustrate whatever routine but peaceful occupation he might pursue for a living, I decided to show what he does after work, moonlighting for a bit of extra cash:



Because he's got a really nice voice--how many hundreds of times are we told it's "silky"?--and we see in HBP that he can sing, I think Severus does pretty well at the karaoke bar. ;-) Don't you know he's still standing, better than he ever did, looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid!

Bonus points to those who recognize the song which Severus is singing in the picture. :-D


(My process was a mess, and the final version mashed up the text, so I'm not bothering with the ArtPad link this time.)

    Oh, God--Severus dressed like one of those guys in the "I'm Still Standing" video??? *pass teh brane bleech* Alas, he dresses like most guys dress for karaoke: T-shirt and jeans. Besides, there's only so much I can do with ArtPad and a roller ball mouse. ;-)

    BTW, he's singing a different song in the picture itself. Did you recognize it? Hint: It was a big hit during the formative years of my youth; I was born in '63.

      This video? I could live with Severus in some of those outfits, or lack thereof! How he'd feel about it is another question.

      The song is "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." I had to look it up, though. I remember when Sir Elton was emerging as an astounding piano player, and I even bought his first album, but my real loves were a bit heavier -- like John Lennon! I've noticed those userpics.

        It was the blue body paint that had me thinking, "no f-ing way." ;-) I forgot there were other outfits in the video--and of course the speedos without the blue body paint would be all right, though probably not at a karaoke bar, and yeah, I don't think it's quite Sev's style. However much fanon might like to play dress-up doll with him, the "real" Severus doesn't seem to be much of an exhibitionist. Dramatic, yes, but not in a way that reveals too much skin. ;-)

        And yep, you got the song right. I thought the title alone made it a good choice for post-war Severus (especially Saved-by-Fawkes Severus) but when the line I quoted came to mind, I damned near choked on the tea I was drinking. ;-) Re: the icons, previous talk of John Lennon looking like Severus (or vice versa) prompted me to search for images that looked especially "Sevvish." Glad you're enjoying the icons!
