Every time I go get something done to my car the dudes at the shop are always like, "wow you drive a stick shift even though you're a girl." What the fuck do those two things even have to do with each other. "Wow you eat lettuce even though you're brunette" ???? hello

Pro Snape whispers pt. 3

[anotherseverussnapelover]

Severus Snape sitting on the dusty curb of Spinner’s End during the summer between his fifth and sixth year, thinking he really has nothing and no one left, smoking a cigarette while the sound of his parents screaming serves as the soundtrack to his bleak and decaying view of a neighborhood falling apart, with people growing more tired, more fed up, dirtier, and more scarred. Severus Snape in his worn-out muggle clothes because the little he has goes toward buying things that might be useful in the wizarding world, but his father won’t let him walk around dressed like a “clown” because he doesn’t want his muggle acquaintances saying anything about that weird son of his. Severus Snape with his anxious teenager’s dark circles under his eyes, his weary gaze, and his sixteen-year-old wish to just die already, thinking that this summer doesn’t even have the small consolation of calling Lily to hang out from time to time, because Lily doesn’t speak to him anymore. And the screaming continues in the background, and the gray people pass in front of him, and he doesn’t want to go back inside, but he also doesn’t want the holidays to end because he doesn’t see much point in continuing at that school. And maybe the only reason he does is because, among his peers, they’ve told him there’s a way to send everyone to hell. To stop hearing the screaming and living in the filth and being surrounded by muggles who all seem on the verge of collapse. A way to leave it all behind. A way to make everyone go screw themselves, and, well, given how little of a future he sees for himself, he doesn’t really understand why he shouldn’t give it a try.

i REFUSE to believe for even a moment, for even a SECOND, that Severus Snape isnt just straight up, unironically, Lucius Malfoy's sugar baby. And Narcissa's too, for that matter. A man like Snape? Tall, slim, with memorable and striking features? He is built for fashion. He is born for The Runway™ and Narcissa Malfoy née Black can never resist the urge to dress him up in pretty things any more than Lucius Malfoy can resist buying and watching him wear said pretty things.

Snape may or may not realize it, but he is absolutely, unequivocally, undeniably being sugared out of his mind.

When you say a fandom is dead, it’s a bit of a blow to people who are still producing and enjoying work for that fandom. You’re basically saying what they’re doing doesn’t matter, doesn’t count, which might discourage them from continuing to participate.

If one person is creating content, the fandom isn’t dead.

If one person is consuming content, the fandom isn’t dead.

If two friends are chatting on skype about their OTPs, that’s fandom.

If someone doodles drawings of their favorite characters on a napkin, that’s fandom.

Just because someone is producing content for one fandom doesn’t mean they have to leave another.

Not every fandom can be the big, new, shiny and popular thing.

Not every fandom *should* be the big, new, shiny, and popular thing.

It’s okay to have small, tight-knit fandoms. They can be just as fulfilling and entertaining as the big ones.

Marauders fans just be having double standards on the point they proud themselves the most on: Diversity

They be like "let's make James brown" (ik that it's in the whole fandom in general but ykwim) and reject the Jewish-looking guy

They be like "let's make Lily obese" and reject the underweight guy

They be like "let's make Regulus abused" and reject the canonically abused guy

They be like "let's make Regulus get groomed into joining the DEs" and reject the canonically groomed guy

They be like "let's make Barty's actions look right by saying it was for love" and reject the guy who did everything for the girl he loved (platonically or not)

Double standards, double standards everywhere.

Diversity only exists if Snape is not involved

Harry: You're not my favorite person today.

Severus: I'm not your favorite person on any day.

Albus: Summary of this Christmas holiday?

Severus: Alcohol, headaches, insomnia...

Minerva: You know you can't go on like this?

Severus: Hey, I have a sensitivity too. Don't deprive a man of one of his few reasons to live.

Severus Snape kept Remus Lupin’s secret for 18 long years

Severus Snape kept Remus Lupin’s secret throughout his years at Hogwarts, even while enduring relentless bullying from the Marauders. He kept it when Lily Evans, the one person he cared for most, accused him of being ungrateful and selfish. He kept it after he graduated. He kept it even as he joined the Death Eaters. He kept it when he returned to Hogwarts as a teacher. He kept it when Lupin was appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—a position Snape had long coveted. Even after Lupin, as a teacher, by suggesting an idea to Neville Longbottom, caused a Boggart to transform into a parody of Snape in women’s clothing—making him the laughingstock of the school—Snape still kept his secret. He kept it when Sirius Black, believed to be a murderer, nearly broke into Hogwarts, even though Snape suspected Lupin might have been helping him. He kept it when he believed Lupin had given the Marauder’s Map to Harry Potter and was holding secret meetings with him under suspicious circumstances.

But there came a moment when Snape could no longer protect Lupin’s secret. That moment came when Snape realized Lupin had betrayed Dumbledore’s trust:

Lupin knew that Sirius Black was an Animagus. He knew about the hidden passages in and out of Hogwarts. He knew Harry was aware of them too. But Lupin said nothing. His silence put the school in danger, nearly leading to three students being mauled by a werewolf. Worst of all, it allowed Sirius Black—who Snape believed to be one of Voldemort’s most dangerous allies—to escape. A man Snape thought responsible for Lily’s death, the murder of twelve Muggles, and an attempt on Harry Potter’s life.

In that moment, Snape realized the cost of keeping the secret had finally outweighed the price of revealing it.

Yes, Snape hated Lupin. He despised the Marauders and carried the scars of their cruelty for years. But when the moment came, His priority was not vengeance, but the safety of others. In the end, Snape was a man who understood the weight of responsibility—no matter the cost to himself.

Day 15: Snape’s Strengths

I think his greatest strength is continuing to endure unbearable conditions while being such a sensitive and emotional person. It’s kind of sad, though. - webcomic - patreon - ao3 -

i need someone to write smt like

mcgonagall: why did you suddenly attack mr. potter and mr. black?

severus: i was bored

mcgonagall: you know it can lead to your expulsion, right?

severus: oh, i thought "we were bored" was what they told you last time they attacked me and all you gave them was detention?

I've noticed something about Snape—one of his biggest red lines, the thing that truly pushes him to his limit, is when someone's life is in danger.

In those moments, he becomes the most vulnerable version of himself. He forgets everything—every grudge, every precaution, every defense mechanism—and his only focus is getting people out of harm's way, no matter the cost.

So vulnerable that hearing about Ginny Weasley's kidnapping forces him to lean on the back of a chair. So vulnerable and unguarded that while saving Harry from Quirrell’s curse, an eleven-year-old sets him on fire. So vulnerable that, in his attempt to manage the chaos of the Shrieking Shack—with children, a werewolf, and a supposed murderer—he’s disarmed by 13-year-olds. He's so reckless that he makes an Unbreakable Vow for Draco. So reckless that he chases a werewolf, without Wolfsbane, under the full moon near sunset. So reckless that he ventures into the Forbidden Forest to find lost children. So reckless that he roams the hallways in the middle of the night, in his nightgown, chasing the sound of a scream. So reckless that, as a Death Eater, he risks everything to warn the leader of the opposite side about Voldemort's plans to kill the Potters—and is willing to give anything to save them. He's so ungrudging that he carefully carries an unconscious Sirius Black. So ungrudging that when Black is captured, he checks on him immediately and alerts the Order of the Phoenix. So ungrudging that he risks his cover to save Lupin.

And I think these moments say so much about his humanity—things the books never fully explain.

I’m tired of how, whenever Snape’s strengths are discussed, some people feel the need to immediately undermine them by saying, “But he’s not a good person; he’s gray.” Let’s be clear: this applies to every Harry Potter character. None of them are purely good or evil. They’re all flawed, complex, and gray—especially Harry himself, whom Rowling has openly described as imperfect and morally ambiguous, much like Snape. .

If we call Snape irredeemable, we must remember that Harry, too, has made morally questionable choices. Both are flawed, both are human.

Goodness doesn’t require perfection or sainthood. It’s about the choices we make in spite of our flaws, pain, and failures. Snape’s story reminds us that even the most broken among us can still choose the right path, save lives, and remain loyal to what truly matters.
