I love the weredoes (Severus, Lily, and Remus) so much, they hold a special place in my heart. Does anyone have any fanfic recommendations for them? Preferably platonic, or Snupin in them!

(You guys I’m slowly sinking into the Marauders era…)

This is a genuine question for people who dislike/hate Snape.

I don’t want to hear the “he’s a bully argument.” I get that, and he wasn’t particularly nice to any student. I can understand if that’s why.

But for the: “He was obsessed and creepy towards Lily!” Argument… where do you guys get that? I need an exact quote and page number from the books. He backed off and accepted immediately that Lily didn’t want to be his friend anymore.

A similar question for the, “he’s a Death Eater and a Nazi!! He tortured people as a Death Eater!!” Argument… yeah he’s a Death Eater, but so was Regulus and Barry Crouch Jr (who actually did support blood supremacy)

In The Prince’s Tale, Snape shouts at a painting for referring to Hermione as a Mudblood, so it’s clear he doesn’t believe in blood supremacy, and at that point, it wouldn’t have been just for Lily’s sake—since he’s alone and talking to a painting. He also actively disagreed with Voldemort’s plans.

As for the torturing/killing as a Death Eater argument: his role was a spy. When he asked Dumbledore about his soul, that would imply that he’s never killed anyone before. He also went through the trouble of assigning Ginny, Neville, and Luna to Hagrid for detention rather than the Carrows. He also actively tried to save lives, one example being Lupin’s in Deathly Hallows while they were all designed as Harry.

There’s also the: “If Harry was a girl…” argument… which I just… don’t think I could ever understand. It isn’t canon that Snape had romantic feelings towards Lily, implied with how you view it, but not ever confirmed. But there also isn’t any evidence that Snape would be into children in general… so suggesting that makes me feel a bit icky I cannot lie.

He isn’t a good person, he’s morally grey. (It’s actually a reason why I like him.) So please don’t take this post as me saying he’s a saint.

This is a genuine question. If you believe any of the discussed arguments above, why? I need canonical, book proof at this point, I beg of you guys.

I HAATE it when people make Snape out to be a perfect angel or the straight devil. Leave my morally grey, grumpy, old man alone 💔

“Husband material!!” He literally said he’s stop bullying Snape if Lily would go out with him.

Remember the difference between canon and fanon guys!!

I don't know if this is normal to do on Tumblr. Like take pieces out of TikTok and post here to talk about? I'll do it anyway.

This is another thing. Accepting that James is a bully is a tough part to swallow for this woman. Her whole comment section is her defending James. Calling him husband material and whatnot.

This is a snapefan (possibly, didn't have that energy from them but I'll settle with James bashing anyway) that tries to reason with a snater in the wild. All the snater says "thanks for giving me views"

And "Boo hoo" towards Snape's life.

@Jess:WOMP WOMP i’m stating MY opinion on MY page and you’re not even understanding what i’m saying cause snapes grease is blinding your judgement

@Jess:so why did lily pick james? why was james so beloved? and why was snape hated? because james changed as a person snape however only got worse

@Jess:it was a rivalry where james matured after whilst snape became a bully to children whilst he was an adult and their professor

@Jess:okay? you want a cookie?

This is a snater people. Do you think I want to be reasonable with these freaks of nature? I don't. Someone did and look what they are slurred with.

Another mysoginistic Snater that would suck D or a rapist as long as they are handsome and pretty, batting his eyelashes at her. Someone even said that thanks to her, lookism gets away with crimes and the rich could stamp on the working class.

Her defense? Oh no, it's not that. I'm from working class so I know what I'm talking about and Snape can go fuck himself (not exactly the response, but how I remember it). I'm glad they died honestly. So it makes these fans bitter as fuck.

“I would have bullied Snape too!!”

“Someone had to bullied him!!”

Hey guys!! So by saying that you are no better than Severus himself. “He bullied children—“ by saying you’d bully child/teen Snape would mean you’d be willing to bully a child as well!! You would be no better than him in that aspect!!

Hope this helps! ❤️

Canon 11-year-old Severus would be ELATED to speak with another wizard, especially if it meant they could end up becoming friends.

I hate the people who tell other people who are new to HP that they need to read ATYD first because it's canon/the closest-to-canon fic out there. Quit lying, it isn't cute or funny.

Chapter one: Remus is shown to be from an orphanage. This is false and automatically makes the fanfic an alternate universe (AU), which IMMEDIATELY rules out it being "canon."

Chapter two: The Hogwarts Express train scene—the one where, in reality, James and Sirius insult Severus and Lily gets pissed, but in ATYD it's reversed;

Sev pops in looking for Lily while she's talking to Remus and then she invites Remus to come with her and Sev (after Sev asks her to come sit with him in his carriage and that there's plenty of room), but then Severus looks at Remus and says, "I'm not sure, there might not be that much room."

Here it is, pulled directly from the fic:

“There you are, Lily, I’ve been looking ages.” He said, giving Remus a dirty look, the sort Remus was quite used to.

“Sev!” Lily jumped out of her seat and threw her arms around the other boy, “I’m so glad to see you!”

He patted her shoulder, shyly, his cheeks slightly pink.

“Come and sit in my carriage, there’s plenty of room.”

“Oh…” Lily looked back, “Can Remus come? He’s all by himself.”

“I’m not sure,” The other boy, Sev, looked Remus up and down, taking him in piece by piece. The thuggish haircut, the fraying jeans, the worn out t-shirt, the second hand suitcase. “There might not be that much room.”

...

Y'all. Be for real. This is disgusting and so out of character for Severus at this moment. In the real books he's literally sitting in a carriage with Lily, James and Sirius, and he just overhears James saying he wants to be in Gryffindor and he chuckles to himself. That's it, and then Sirius insults him and then calls him Snivellus as he and Lily are leaving to go to another carriage (bc who wants to sit in a carriage with bullies?) All of the characters are so wildly OOC in ATYD and y'all are saying it's canon. I know of a very popular manga artist who was sent fucking death threats because his own character was apparently OOC, but no one bats an eye when it happens in a "canon" fic?

Genderfluid!Severus and Trans!Harry you mean the WORLD to me 💔

Hear me out: trans Harry Potter hearing from one of the older students that Snape provides trans students with the magical equivalent of HRT, probably similar ingredients as polyjuice potion. Harry, hitting the hellscape of puberty, takes a leap of faith and braves his mutually spiteful relationship with Snape to ask for some of that gender affirming care. To his surprise, Snape is really nice about it and becomes a point of safety. Harry starts getting daily potion deliveries :).

[archie-mp3]

i hate how the Marauders fandom makes out Snape to be the devil.

He isn’t.

He is canonically neither good nor bad, he is morally grey. You cannot make me completely good, nor can you make him completely bad. That is who he is. You dislike him a normal amount. Making Severus out to be a pedophile, a misogynist asshole, and a creep completely undermines his character. The whole point of his character is how he is morally grey.

[archie-mp3]

Daily reminder that if Snape was truly abusive to the students, he would have let the Carrows torture Neville, Luna, and Ginny in Deathly Hallows.

Snape was definetely a bitch to his students, but at least he was a somewhat responsible teacher. He'd make his students scrub cauldrons or clean nasty potion ingredients for detention, but it wasn't him who sent 1st year students over to Hagrid's to wander around the Forbidden Forest at night ON THEIR OWN with only a dog at their side, while something unknown is attacking other creatures.

Y'all call Snape a terrible teacher for being scary and mean and abusing a toad, but I don't see anyone uttering a word about Hagrid and McGonagall literally endangering children's lives: McGonagall for thinking that sending 1st year students who had 0 experience in defense and fighting to accompany Hagrid into the Forbidden Forest at night was a reasonable detention (note: students had been warned multiple times to not enter it as it was a very dangerous place). And Hagrid. He deserves his own post on that scene alone.

Bro would have been dead furious if 11 year old Malfoy had told him about Hagrid separating him and Neville in the Forbidden Forest at night with only a dog as "protection" while some creature was actively hunting.

[archie-mp3]

It should be noted that I don’t hate the Marauders (I literally cannot.) (I am a Snupin shipper though and through.) (I mean I hate James. And Pettigrew.)

I just hate the fandom. (Not the fans.)

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

“Someone had to bully Snape—“ no they didn’t. Saying you would have bullied Snape speaks volumes of your character actually!

Him being constantly used and bullied throughout his life is what influences his later actions. The Marauders didn’t bully him for being a future Death Eater, they bullied him because they were bored.

I cannot stand the being in Marauders fandom because people continuously say shit like this.

Canon Marauders would’ve bullied the majority of the Marauders fandom. They were not the queer, feminine teenagers in canon. In canon, they bullied the easiest target: the poor, queer-coded, feminine male.

(No, Snape is not innocent. He is a morally grey person. But the Marauders are the huge part of on he came out like that.)

[archie-mp3]

I would have lost it. Generally would have had the biggest crash out of all time.

Yeah, I mean, Severus called Lily a slur in the middle of an emotional breakdown after being terribly humiliated in public, but honestly, I think he’s a much better person than me. Because if I had seen my friend half-smiling at my bully while he exposed me half-naked in public… I wouldn’t have called my friend a slur—I would’ve smashed her head against the ground, babes.

[archie-mp3]

Cannot believe this has to be said for the millionth time.

Stripping ANY ONE of their clothes without their consent is sexual assault.

James Potter had malicious intentions when he was stripping Severus of his clothes, in front of a crowd. No matter how many excuses you make, it will always canon and considered to be sexual assault. It does not matter what Snape does later in his life—using a victim’s future actions to justify their abusers past actions does not work. It doesn’t matter if Snape and James are fictional characters.

Actively denying what James did wasn’t sexual assault waters down his actions as a bully towards not only Snape, but the other victims of James as well.

Yes, Snape is an asshole. But he canonically neither good nor bad, he is morally grey. Much like Dumbledore. He isn’t a saint and he never will be, but the fandom fails to understand that the environment he grew up in influenced his future actions. (Influenced, not justified.)

I am willing to bet the majority of the people defending James after SWM wouldn’t be if Severus was a woman rather than a man.

No one deserves to be bullied, let alone sexually assaulted. If you disagree, especially with that last statement, you are the issue.

Genuinely, what ever happened to human compassion and understanding why people turn out the way they do?

[archie-mp3]

I don’t think I’ve seen any artist draw Severus in the same way, and I’m lowkey fucking with it.

[archie-mp3]

Guys what the fuck is this. 💔

I am a Snape defender through and through… but what happened to civility. I know I’m snarky and sarcastic half the time… but literally if you do this, you are the issue.

Got flashbacks to when my irl friend at the time said Snape thought about SAing Lily without any canon evidence.

If you are going to make atrocious claims, back it up with evidence. I fear we all learned this in middle school English class.

Being civil goes both ways, just a small PSA. Hope this helps! ❤️

still thinking about this person…

this was after i was very polite in expressing my opinion about snape. they actively searched through the anti snape tag and then started saying really hurtful things in the comments. i fought back because i always fight back, and then they started making up things about the books that never happened, and saying things like this to me.

come on, guys.

filthy slut? sick fuck?

CHILD RAPIST?

i’ve never met a sane snape fan and i doubt at this rate that i ever will.
