every time i read a fic where lily evans is upheld as a paragon of justice and the underdogs and the vulnerable, i die a little inside
bc,,,,are we talking ab the same gal who kept defending snape for atleast five years of hogwarts and however many before that? who overlooked his bigoted actions, even when others called it/her out on it?
ugh
(now james, on the other hand? we have such clear evidence that he fits this archetype but ofc that’s overlooked isn’t it. gonna shut up here but will take the rant into the tags)

YES!!!!1
Liek I want to know where Lily became the great grand justice carryign queen from. There's ZILCH
Meanwhile James doing all and more for the abused and letdown and the 'abnormal' and all
But no Lily befriended someone when she was 9 who also knew about magic tried amnipulatign him into not being dark and only truly had an issue with anything when he callled HER Mudbloob bc b4 that she was making excuses to her 'friends'
Also adding that she didn''t really care about them pickign on Snape bc she does chuckle when they put him upside down AND she is only to happy and ready to leave. I've broken ties and friendship and this is not how it goes at all. You don't j magically realise that yes this aint gon last and then go. She j chose the simplist way to cut it off while looking like a not entitled person (and failed bc I see what you r doing Evans)
As to what to do you talk to me I agree X1000

Addibg for the 1000th time that Lily is canknically obly known as somones mum wife knce bestfriend and ssiter.
Alone she is just. Nothing, tbh
Like sometimes it feels liek the mums protectiin spellt hibf eas made so zhe could have comething herseld
Also rhat canknically tries *abd fails as harry notices it) to HIDE a xhuckle when her so called bedtie is beibg hung upside down
And she tries to manipulate him BUT THEY DONT USE DARK MAGIC
Also doesnt ask about Snapes side aft the prank (dont find it the prank as that big of a thing butas his besyie she shouldb't j say "you should be thankful he saved u frm twh wolf" when he is the rival amd thw wolf os the rivals best mate)
AND she is likw thw men are disgusting what do you see in them they are creepy (aft the do something VERY BAD to muggleborn Mary) aft Snape goes it was A LAUGH-- idk the way he says it sounds like he was near the scene or mifht have seen it but i digress-- she DOES NOT ask him to stop hanging out or amything
SHE DOESNT SAY AFTER THAT I DKNT KNOW HOW YOUR FRIENDS WITH THWM BUT I WQNT YOU TO STOP j that theyre CREEPY aft they use dark magic (very very likely) on a muggleborn in thw literal middle of the war while they are being hunted
And then she HIDES A CHICKLE (failing may i add) when hes hung upside down. Ntl deciding to ask james to put him down (like the knly good rhing shw does to/for Snape but like the CHUCKLE? It doesnt wven do any good for her characyer no more) nd then it takes ONE WORD WHICH SHE KNOWS HE CALLS OTHER BEING CALLED TO HER for her yo blinl and do a lefit like 360 and go SNIVELLUS ad yhwn rounding on the guy shw had ldgit j found funny?
AND SHES THE GOOD GUY?? WHY BC SHES DED AND BC SNAPES OBSESSED WITHW HWR
She lefit goes OU CALLRD EVERYNE ELSE THT WHY SHOULD K BE DIFF.
LIKE IDK FIRST TKME IT HIT OU YPU WERENUGGLE BORN AND UR BESTI ALWYS LIEKD DARK MAGIC-- LIKE PRE HIGWARTS LIKED IT? THAT HES ON THE AIDE KILLING YOU? THAT KNE WORD TOLD YOU SO BX IT WAS POINTED AT YOU?
THIS IN NOT 'REALISED HES GONE TOO FAR ITSBHANSLE HIM UNTIL HE COMES AT ME THEN HES THE VILLAN'
And look i dont like snape but like this-- if theres a fic where he and the marauder call Lily out for her ninsense gimme a link id lov to give it a read
every time i read a fic where lily evans is upheld as a paragon of justice and the underdogs and the vulnerable, i die a little inside
bc,,,,are we talking ab the same gal who kept defending snape for atleast five years of hogwarts and however many before that? who overlooked his bigoted actions, even when others called it/her out on it?
