#Slavic Severus Snape

[enfinizatics]

slavic severus snape. thank you, i will not be elaborating.

[artisticreptilequeen]

Slavic roots Snape has been my headcanon for a while, so I stan this 💯

I honestly love how Soviet!Snape is just…Snape in the snow.

[dykeulous]

about me.

hello! i am apollo and i am aspiring to be an author and an activist someday. i come from a small, underdeveloped “post-socialist” country. i hope my blog will be helpful to everyone, and i try to be as open-minded on most topics as i can be. this is how i would describe myself:

i am a butch lesbian with heavy sex (& social) dysphoria. i would refer to myself as transmasc, and i am still very much trans-identified, as dysphoria has caused me much trouble over my formative years, and it has been making my life a true agonizing hell :)). i approach trans issues with sensitivity and criticism. i try my best not to be black-and-white about things; and i always try to be well-informed before speaking on anything. i love gender acceleration, and i would describe my views as gender critical. i am explicitly anti-racist, anti-capitalist & anti-imperialist. my views align with marxist feminism/proletarian feminism & radical feminism– which is why i would describe myself as a dual system feminist. my analysis & beliefs come from dialectical materialism, rather than idealism, which is why i’ve found myself in opposition with most trans rights activists. i am for abolishing the prison system, and i believe rehabilitation should be the goal, rather than punishment. drug addicts & recovering addicts have a special place in my heart ❤️‍🩹. i’m not vegan, but i appreciate & love all my ecofeminist sisters: i try my best to be vocal about animal liberation & climate activism. i believe the bpd diagnosis is being hyper-sold to female people, and this is because of medical misogyny & institutional sexism– it is being used as new age female hysteria. oh, and i’m also autistic. i love autistic women, and i wholeheartedly want to smash medical misogyny whenever i see how my neurodivergent sisters are being treated. 🇵🇸 FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!!!

my special interest is gender abolition (i’m very very passionate about this!!!) and marxist politics. my current hyperfixations are harry potter (i’m a slytherin 🐍), greek mythology & mlp. i unironically use the word kinnie; my highest kins are severus snape, twilight sparkle and diane nguyen. i love punk rock music, and i love riot grrrl. ask me about ww2, i used to be very hyperfixated on it last year– i reviewed a lot of ww2-themed movies critically & pointed their historical revisionism out. i am a slavic patriot by heart, and will punch a westerner who chooses to ignore our beautiful history. tito, lenin, che guevara, rosa luxemburg apologist. also i’m very interested in soviet history (the night witches are so fascinating!!), north korean culture & cuban cuisine.

if you wish to block me, go ahead. if you don’t, cool. i don’t block people, i allow a wide range of people to interact, and quite frankly, i think dni lists are useless. won’t hold back if you’re going to attack me. will engage in respectful arguments, and also will engage in disrespectful arguments, with the same energy you give me.

check out @pokegyns! it’s a group blog modded by nuancefem discord server members, owned by our precious pikalay @tirfpikachu.

links to some of the posts of mine i find quite useful for people who are going to hate-scroll through my blog, and also for people who are interested in radical feminism, but are scared we’re a hate group.

1. Intersex People, Transitioned Trans Women & Transitioned Trans Men

Are Trans Women Privileged?; Gender Socialization & Transmisogyny, Transmisogyny & Transandromisogyny

2. Feminist Praxis & Tactics: Separatism VS Proletarian Feminism; My Personal Critique of Radical Feminism

3. Transmedicalists VS Queer Theorists; Transmedicalism: The Sexism, Racism, and Classism

4. Listen to Dysphoric Voices

5. What Is Gender?; Gender Acceleration

6. The Word “Cis”

#ftminism is a tag i use to talk & ramble about transmasc-specific [or transmasc-adjacent] struggles that i feel can be connected to feminism in one way or another. i also sometimes tag transmasc positivity with this.

headcanons about the young Severus Snape?? I'm curious because I love that character so much (and when he was young I like him more)

I got so many! Almost every second post of mine is about him.

1. He hit puberty when he was 17, until that you could mistake him as a girl, because he was 5'6, unhealthy skinny and obviusly had his long black hair.

2. He did infact smoke from a young age, even he hated the idea of it.

3. Also obvius one he is a mama's boy and always will be.

4. Him and Reggie were besties until the end, I also like to gaslight myself with the idea he switched side because of him, instead of Lily.

5. And if we are at Lily, I'm sure Severus moved on at some point from her. Has he forgiven himself for what he did? No. But he was obsessed with her with all those years? Also not.

6. He loved small animals, especially as a young child. He admired every bug, reptile or even mammal (like cats or rats).

7. He was the type of guy who would either spend time at a play ground or a grave yard.

8. He become close with the black family, mostly after Lucius and Narcissa marriage.

9. In his mind he addressed himself in second person, like he would think about himself things like: "You’re such a loser".

10. Of course he is autistic.

11. He head a weird attraction for evil people, especially if they done somethink evil for him, he really wanted someone to step up for him.

12. I also admire slavic Severus, what is not real, but being half slavic would definitely fit him.

13. He almost k*ll himself after the prank, thanks to the idea of others literally tired to k*ll him. After some hard times he could found enough strengh to not do it, but the thought never really left.

14. The only girl friend he had even in his life other then Lily, was Charity Burbage, and her death destroyed him.

15. Boy know how to steal, he was whole pickpocket, sometimes he done it as a joke with Mulciber or Evans to annoy them, but there was time when he actually stole thing from gryffindors.

16. The only muggle games he loved was card games, Elieen played a lot with him when he was younger, so it was one of his sweeter memories.

I just get all out from myself in the past 20 minutes, I'm sure there would be more.

[severussnapemysillyrabbit]

I've been searching for the perfect middle name for snape. The general headcanon is Severus Tobias Snape. I don't hate it but i feel like it's a headcanon only bc there isn't really much else to draw from.

Severus Azriel Snape. Means "helper of God". Following the idea that names are telling the readers about the character, (and the idea that Harry Potter is basically a Jesus allegory), Dumbledore is the literary God Figure, Severus is the ultimate collaborator of Dumbledore's plans.

It's also Hebrew. I'm a fan of the idea Eileen Prince was Jewish (Prince is anglicized version of Ashkenazic Prinz or Slavic Princ).

that's my info dump of my last 3 hours of time wasting research lol

[icanttalkimhavingacrisis]

OH AM I READY FOR THIS AU

[honeyandmagic]

WIP

Snape is half korean half slavic in this fic. Checks in on Harry, goes right WTF is this, kidnaps “adopts” him :) Going to be dark, and angsty, and sweet in a way that hurts.

There was a child in front of him. One that looked more like the man he hated than the woman he loved (the same woman he made that thrice damned promise to, the same one who went beatle hunting with him in their backyards when they were still fresh-faced youths, who he had introduced to a whole new world--the very one she’d die for). He had his hair, his face, his everything, but Merlin, he had her eyes. They were larger and greener than hers had ever been, he knew that shade of green; a tainted shade of emerald that only avada kedavra could produce. He wondered briefly if it was a possible side effect for doing the impossible. He didn’t want to know. 

The scrawny brat was staring at him. Eyes too big, body too small. Too small for a seven year old. (He was too a lot of things, too alive when he should have been dead with his mother and bastard of a father, too feral looking for a brat that was supposed to--nay, promised--to grow up spoiled, too everything and yet not enough.) He knew what a malnourished child looked like and the boy clearly was just that, but he had a funny feeling the child would have always had abnormally large eyes that were both too green and too curious. He avoided looking above his eyes, not wanting to see the now legendary scar. 

He was still staring at him. He was starting to attract attention from the other parents picking up their spawn from primary school. He knew he was dressed like the muggles, but that didn’t help his already off-putting appearance. His skin was pale, he himself was too thin, his hair dark and too long to be in style. He himself was too dark. Dark. The last thing he needed was to attract unwanted attention. The fucking brat wasn’t as stupid as he had originally hoped.

Before he even had the chance to say anything, the kid sneezed, knocking his glasses loose on his nose. 

“So,” He shuffled his foot on the pavement. “Aunt Tuney doesn’t want me anymore?” 

That was one way to interpret his speech. He had spent weeks figuring out an appropriate enough story with enough details but not enough to make anything confusing, just for the damned brat to not even care that he was being “adopted” by a complete and bloody stranger. The boy was being kidnapped for Godric’s sake and the kid is looking at him like he was expecting it to happen. 

“She always said she’d drop me off somewhere. Musta been inna good mood to find someone to take me, I reckon.” 

He looked at the boy. 

The boy, despite the tension holding him stiff at his shoulders, looking ready to dart (or bite) at any second, was undaunted when he looked him in the eyes and asked, “What’s your name again?” 

He could answer that. “Severus Snape Wanja.” A pause. “I am your godfather. It took me a while to find you, but we’ll be going home now.” Another pause. Here, he had to swallow a scowl and a shiver of disgust. “To be. A. Family. Again.” 

A flicker of emotion crossed the brat, no, his ‘godsons,’ face, the tension draining from his small body (oh Lord, he was so small) before launching himself into Snape’s arms. It took him a moment to realize the boy was hugging him and the gibberish he was speaking into Snape’s shirt were actually words. (Thank you! I knew if I wished enough times and I knew that if I listened to my heart I would get a family. I asked for a mum but a godfather is just as a good--).

This Snape looks how I imagine him, half Slavic half Korean 🥺

Snape in boots just makes sense

Happy Easter from our beloved potions master Severus Snape and me!

[josiecarioca]

The meanings behind the names of the characters in "Post War"

Bonus canon character: Severus Tobias Snape (because I did pick Tobias as a middle name entirely based on personal headcanon):

Severus: from the Latin "severus", meaning "severe", "stern" Tobias: from the Hebrew "Toviyah", meaning "goodness of God" Snape: Origin obscure. Perhaps from snape, a dialectal variant of sneap (“to nip, bite, pinch”).

Evelyn Teresa Black

Evelyn: anglicisation of the Irish Aibhilín or Éibhleann, derived óiph, meaning "radiance", "beauty" (same root as "Eileen") Teresa: either derived the Greek Therizo (θερίζω) meaning "to harvest" or the Greek Theros (θερος) meaning "Summer". Named after St. Teresa of Ávila, a prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author and theologian. Black: The word black comes from Old English blæc ("black, dark", also, "ink"), from Proto-Germanic *blakkaz ("burned"), from Proto-Indo-European *bhleg- ("to burn, gleam, shine, flash"), from base *bhel- ("to shine"),  

Virgil Amir Shafiq

Virgil: unknown meaning, proposed: "vigil", "strong" or a derivative of "virgo" meaning virgin, pure (or in reference to the zodiacal symbol of the virgin which relates to either Astraea or Persephone) Amir: From Arabic أَمِير‎ (ʾamīr, “commander, prince”) Shafiq: kind, compassionate

Leonard “Leo” Levinson Leonard: From the Old High German Leonhard containing the prefix levon ("lion") and the suffix hardu ("brave" or "hardy"). The name has come to mean "lion strength", "lion-strong", or "lion-hearted". Levinson:  Ashkenazi Jewish surname. It means "son of Levi" ("Levi" being Hebrew for "joined in harmony.")

Angela: derived from the Greek ángelos (αγγελος), meaning "messenger"

Thomas: from the Biblical Greek Θωμᾶς, which is a transcription of the Aramaic Taumā תאומא meaning "twin"

James (not Potter): anglicisation of the hebrew Ya'aqov (alternatively "Jacob") meaning "He Who Closely Follows" "Supplanter"

Constance: derived from the latin "constantia" meaning "constant, trustworthy"

Emmet: possibly derived from Old German meaning "energetic, powerful", or from Old English meaning "an ant".

Douglas: derived from the Scottish Gaelic elements: dubh, meaning "dark, black"; and glas, meaning "stream"

Alice: derived from the French "Alais" a shorter form of "Adelaide" comes from the Old High German Adalheidis, meaning "noble natured".

Elizabeth: derived from the Ancient Greek Ἐλισάβετ (Elisabet, Modern Greek pronunciation Elisávet), which is a form of the Hebrew name Elisheva (אֱלִישֶׁבַע), meaning "My God is an oath" or "My God is abundance".

Dmitri/ Alexander Vladimirovich (surname unknown)

Dmitri: Russian version of Greek Demetrios (Δημήτριος) . The meaning of the name is a "devoted to," "dedicated to, or "follower of Demeter", the Greek goddess of harvest. Alexander: is derived from the Greek Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros), meaning "Defender of men" Vladimirovich (patronymic:) "son of Vladimir", "Vladimir" being derived from the Slavic elements vladeti, "rule", combined with meru "great, famous", thus meaning "Renowed Ruler"...

Dimitri´s aliases:  Pavel Mirolyubov/ Guillaume Gadal

'Pavel'-Russian for "Paul', chosen as a nod to Evelyn´s deceased brother Mirolyubov- after Viktor Mirolyubov Russian journalist, editor and publisher of the late XIX-early XX century and co-founder (along with Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Zinaida Gippius among others) of the Religious-Philosophic Meetings (1901–1903). "Guillaume:  after Guillaume Bélibaste (occitan: Guilhèm Belibasta) said to have been the last Cathar parfait in Languedoc. He was burned at the stake in 1321. "Guillaume" means "resolute protector" Gadal: after Antonin Gadal a French mystic and historian who dedicated his life to study of the Cathars in the south of France, their spirituality, beliefs and ideology. 'Antonin'(Anthony) means "beyond praise"

Anya: from the Hebrew "Hannah(חַנָּה )meaning: "blessing" or "grace" Valdmirovna: Russian meaning "daughter of Vladmir" Mariya: from the Hebrew "Maryām (מרים)" In antiquity, it was variously etymologized as "rebellion", "bitter sea", "strong waters", "mistress", "exalted one", "ruling one", "wished for child", or "beautiful" Gabrielle: French feminine form of the given name Gabriel, which means "hero of God" or "God is my might" in Hebrew.

Arseniy: derived from the Greek word arsenikos (ἀρσενικός), meaning "male", "virile" alternatively related to the poison named arsenic, after the Syriac ܠܐ ܙܐܦܢܝܐ (al) zarniqa, or the Persian زرنيخ zarnikh, meaning "yellow" (literally "golden-colored"). The three most common arsenic allotropes are gray, yellow, and black arsenic. 

Claire and Ludwig Rot

Claire: from the French "claire", meaning "clear", "bright" or "famous" Ludwig: from old Germanic Hludwig, composed of Hlud or Hluth meaning "famous", and Wig meaning "war", therefore "famous warrior" Rott: From “Rot” German for "red"

Caitlin Brigid Black Caitlin: Irish variant of Katherine, derived from the Greek adjective καθαρός katharos meaning "pure" Brigid: from the Old Irish Brigit meaning “power" "vigour" or "virtue”

Sophia Maeve Black Sophia: from the Greek Σοφία meaning "wisdom" Maeve : from the Irish Gaelic "Medbh" or "Méadhbh" meaning "she who intoxicates"

Marius Black (I named Marius Black´s son Marius as well, so this one counts as an OC): Possibly derived from the Roman war god Mars or Latin word mare meaning "sea"

Paul Éamon Black Paul: derives from the Latin Paulus meaning "small" or "humble" Éamon: Irish form of the English Edmund,which is derived from an Old English name containing the elements ēad ("prosperity, riches") and mund ("protector"), therefore meaning "Protector of prosperity"

It’ll be so intriguing to see a character like Igor on the dash and to see you personify a character that is as underplayed and unknown as him and make him your own! I’m sure he’ll be a fantastic addition to the dash, and we can’t wait to see how you explore him further. *your fc change to Boyd Holbrook has been accepted

OUT OF CHARACTER

INTRODUCTION

Cassidy, 22, she/her, Pacific Timezone, United States.

ACTIVITY

I feel like I’m decently active. I try to get out one reply a day, if not more. I do have more time to write now, but just to be on the safe side I’d say 6/7 out of ten.

TRIGGERS

*removed for privacy

HOW DID YOU FIND US?

I’m already a member of this AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL group, but it was through the marauder rp tag….I think.

WHAT HARRY POTTER CHARACTER DO YOU IDENTIFY WITH MOST?

I feel like the many characters of Harry Potter are misfits, outsiders, people who just don’t fit in, and I’m definitely part of that group. I think last time I said Sirius (yay for dysfunctional families) or Luna (because she’s always being herself no matter what). This time, I’ll say Neville because if one guy didn’t fit in well it was him. Sure, he had friends, but I think even then he still felt like an outsider even if that wasn’t true. He had major insecurities, but we read and watched him develop and move beyond those which takes guts and I really dig that.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Nope! :D

IN CHARACTER

DESIRED CHARACTER

Igor Einar Karkaroff

‘Igor’ is a common Slavic name and means protected. His mother chose this name because she wanted her son to always know that she will always be thinking of him no matter what. To her, it is meant as a blessing.

‘Einar’ comes from the Old Norse name Einarr, possibly related to the concept ‘the einherjar’, warriors who died in battle and ascended to Valhalla. ‘Einar’ means one/alone and warrior. This is also the middle name of his father.

I found pretty much zero information about the meaning/definition of the name ‘Karkaroff’, but in Turkish ‘Kark’ means unsettled, so there’s that.

FACE CLAIM

First choice: Boyd Holbrook

Second choice: Taylor Kitsch

Third choice: Wentworth Miller

REASON FOR CHOSEN CHARACTER

I’ve had my eye on Igor for a while now. He’s not the most played character from what I’ve seen and there isn’t a lot about him anywhere (I guess I have a type). There are no long lists of headcanons or a few dozen dreamcasts and aesthetics rolling around in Tumblr, or extra hidden facts if you look hard enough between the lines. All we know is what the books say and how the movies portray him. And he has an ugly, cowardly, slimey personality. But all of that is why I was so drawn to him. His bio made me see him in a different way and the more I develop him in writing and in my head the more excited I get. It made me start thinking about who he was as a 29 year old man, what made him the way we saw him, what was his role is and why.

Young Igor is not the man we know or think we know, but that is exactly what he wants you to think. He is an intangible mystery, like trying to catch smoke with your hands. All people annoy him, disgust him, he hates everyone and everything. He sleeps all day and stays up all night, smoking half a pack of cigarette as he tries to wash the blood out from his clothes. Nothing fazes him because he’s seen it all, he’s done it all; that’s what happens when you attend Durmstrang Institute. This is the real Igor, but no one sees the real Igor. Not some, not a rare few, not close friends- no one.

On the outside, he works for a wealthy pureblood family training and tending to their dozen or so horses, for both racing and companionship. The work is quiet. It’s just him, the horses, and his thoughts, just how he likes it. It pays well enough for a room every night at the Leaky Cauldron and to put food on the table. He is always dressed neatly, always very, very clean, and almost too formal even in the most casual of situations. His connection to the Inner Circle is Orion Black, who has slowly introduced him to a handful of Death Eaters and like minded people within the past year. He is still earning their trust, but he’s so close he can taste it.

Igor doesn’t care about blood status or the lack of magic. He is a dark, dangerous man by nature. Being a Death Eater means having all the fun and no consequences. And it allows him to continue his search for the people who killed his family, making him the last Karkaroff.

Igor has the dark mark. He always wears his mask when it’s needed and only a few Death Eaters know he is one.

I stopped myself here, but I’ve written more about his family and stuff in his about on his mock blog.

PREFERRED SHIPS // CHARACTER SEXUALITY // GENDER & PRONOUNS

Igor is male and uses the pronouns he/him.

Igor/Chemistry. Also, I think Igor would like Alecto and Edgar. She’s very Durmstrang in his mind and Ed seems pretty dark, ya know.

Igor does not do romance. He doesn’t cuddle, he doesn’t kiss, there is no hand holding or hugging. He doesn’t want to know your life story and he will never ask for it in the history of ever. The only thing he wants to know is your age. Hell, he doesn’t even need to know your name. Once he’s done fucking, you better get your clothes on and the get the hell out of his bed. There is only enough room for one person on his very large king bed. Maybe a cat or a dog. He hasn’t decided yet.

With that said, Igor is an intensely private man, not very experienced if we’re talking about the number of sexual partners, and sex just isn’t important to him. Relationships don’t matter to him either. It will only get in the way of his ultimate goal. He values intelligence more than anything else.

He is pansexual, with many hedonistic qualities. I don’t think Igor would really know the term ‘pansexual’ so when it comes to his sexuality he doesn’t put a label on it and simply likes what he likes.

-A PLAYLIST: https://igorkvrkvroff.tumblr.com/tagged/%7B-igor-%7C-music-%7D

Depending when you check out the mock blog, there might be a few headcanons which will be labeled as so.

IN CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE

The following section should be looked at like a survey for your character. Answer them in character and feel free to use gifs. Or, if you’d rather, answer them in third person or OOC without gifs. Answers do not have to be extremely lengthy.

♔ If you were able to invent one spell, potion, or charm, what would it do, what would you use it for or how would you use it? Feel free to name it:

That answer is easy. His first thought his is family. Igor wouldn’t want to bring them back from the dead, but he’d want to be able to access all of their memories, their final thoughts, the last things they saw. Happy memories and, their favorite ones. He would be able to revisit these memories over and over again. It would most likely have to be a spell, as it would only work after a person died when their consent is not needed. The spell would only be needed to be performed once, but it would have to be very soon after death before the body has mostly or completely decayed. (wow that’s a little morbid).

♔ You have to venture deep into the Forbidden Forest one night. Pick one other character and one object (muggle or magical), besides your wand, that you’d want with you:

Igor would bring a couple packs of cigarettes. He’s a fighter and not afraid of much, but if he doesn’t have a smoke on him he will go batshit insane. He would probably bring Severus Snape with him. He’s just as mysterious as Igor is and the kid doesn’t talk too much and when he does it usually has value to it. Most importantly, he can trust Snape not to do something that could cost them their lives.

♔ What kinds of decisions are the most difficult for you to make?

The hardest decisions to make for Igor are about the ones who he chooses to trust. Short of saving his life, there is not much one can do to earn his trust even if they have innocent intentions. It takes months, even years of knowing each other. His closest friends are back home, brothers and sisters who he went to school with. There may not be many of them, but Igor knows he can trust them with his life.

♔ What is one thing you would never want said about you?

Igor would do anything to make sure his affiliation with Voldemort and the Death Eaters does not get out. It would get in the way of his own personal vendetta. Igor has business with many people, each one carefully used to his exacts needs and if any of that got out it could mean his life.

It was the first day of spring in Kalmar, Sweden; beautiful, peaceful, and quiet. Daylight broke only five minutes ago and the town was barely waking up. A young eleven year old boy was rising from bed, his footsteps so quiet it was like he was floating above the ground. Although it was now spring, there was still snow on the ground and a biting chill in the early morning wind. The boy got dressed in thick furs and thick boots. He passed by the kitchen where a young man sat alone, just getting home from work, vodka in one hand and a book in the other; he did not look up so the boy continued on. He grabbed his bicycle (that he bought with his own money) out of the shed, dragged it to the sidewalk, and started pedaling to the office of the local newspaper.

The snow had melted just enough to where it only took him one and half hours to finish his paper route instead of the usual two. The boy returned the bag to his boss, a generous old man, and collected his weekly check; 50 kr, muggle money, but it was just as good as the magic kind. With a hug, the boy left and returned home.

If only his route he had finished sooner.

He could hear his twin sister sobbing inside his home and he was still on the sidewalk. The blue bike fell to the ground with a loud scraping noise as he took off; the tire stuck up in the air spun as it was left. As hard as he could, he opened the front door, ignoring it as it bounced off the wall, catching everyone’s attention.

“Nikolai! Go to your room! NOW!”

His mother pointed at him then the stairs, but his father, who was tall, angry, and greasy, who has been gone for three weeks, smacked her hand out of the air and grabbed her wrist, twisting the bone as she bit down on her lip to swallow the cries.

“BOY! Go sit your ass down. Right. NOW!”

His eyes darted around the living room; two lamps were broken and a glass of orange juice puddled in the middle of the floor. Time froze. The air tasted like poison.

“BOY!”

Nikolai watched himself turn his head as he looked at the kitchen where smoke was rising up behind the counter; breakfast was burning, the kettle was going off, his twin sister was watching their parents with fat tears running down her face, blood dripping from her cheek, and horror in her eyes. He watched as his father yelled again. He watched as his father marched up to him still body and just as he raised his hand, a bright red light shot out from behind him and slammed him into the wall.

“Igor!” Nikolai shouted as his brother descended down the stairs in a black robe and red cotton pajama pants with the Durmstrang insignia printed on it. His wand was high in the air.

Igor ignored his little brother, gently pushed past his mother, and walked right up to his father where he crouched in his own piss, moaning with pain.

“You broke my fucking leg, you fucking bitch!” His father screamed, spit flew in all directions.

Igor tilted his head down at him with a look of pure disdain, only letting out a rough sigh.

“What did I tell you I’d do if you ever came back here?”

His voice was so calm, so cold, it gave Nikolai chills.

Igor’s father gritted his teeth through the pain as he tried to stand up, swinging at his oldest son, but with one strong kick Igor broke the other leg.

“Igor!”

“Mom, take Nikolai and Natasha upstairs.”

“Igor, please,” she said as she waved the twins over, putting her arms around them protectively. “What do you plan on doing?”

Igor kept looking into the glossy eyes of his father, “Mom, take them upstairs or you all are going to watch me kill him.”

Only the cries of Igor’s little sister could be heard.

Finally, his dad spoke, “…son, have mercy on your father…”

“Mercy? You want mercy?” Igor growled, pressing his bare foot down on his father’s chest. “Did you give mom mercy when you beat her within an inch of her life? What about Natasha, when she couldn’t leave the house for three weeks because of the black eye you gave her! Or Nikolai when his arm was broken and in a sling because of you! YOU! The man who is suppose to be their father!”

Igor’s cheeks felt wet as he pressed down harder on the man’s chest. “Or me, who you use to practice the cruciatus curse on? Where’s your mercy now?”

His father was babbling, completely incoherent as he tried to reason with his son, but Igor wasn’t listening. He wasn’t listening to the pathetic cries of his father, or his mother begging him to not do it, or his little brother and sister crying into their mother’s stomach.

Time stood still. The air burned his throat like fire.

It was only Igor and his father.

“I should have done this years ago.”
