#i love sad boys

Do you have any headcanons about Severus? Something you really see as canon even though it’s never actually stated?

I alwas hwadcanon him as someone who is deeply depressed, and if he keeps going, it’s because he has a sense of responsibility born from guilt over Lily’s death. I mean, Severus feels guilty for what happened to Lily, but I don’t think he’s driven so much by revenge as by the need to make up for it. He wants to atone for his actions, and for that, he sells his soul to the devil Dumbledore, and decides to spend nearly 20 years being a puppet. I mean, it’s pretty clear to me that at some point, he probably doesn’t even care much about his own life anymore and is fine with risking his neck. Why would he care? He never really had a life of his own. He didn’t have one as a child, growing up in a home full of violence and extreme poverty; he didn’t have one as a teenager, where a bunch of rich kids made his life hell while the teachers looked the other way; and he doesn’t have one as an adult, pretending to be someone he’s not and unable to form real relationships or connections on either side because he has to maintain his cover. That’s deeply depressing. The only thing that probably keeps him going is guilt and the need to atone for his sins (a need that Dumbledore conveniently exploits and encourages btw). Without that, he probably would’ve locked himself in a room with no idea what to do with his life.

I also think his choice to isolate himself has a lot to do with trauma, like the fact that he keeps living in the dump that is Spinner’s End. It’s a form of self-punishment, like people who self-harm, but he does it in a more emotional, psychological way. On the one hand, he keeps himself from forming connections with people because he probably thinks he doesn’t deserve them or that they’ll end badly, and on the other hand, he locks himself up every summer in that shack that was his childhood home, which brings him nothing but bad memories, because it’s a sort of self-imposed prison. It’s a way of not allowing himself to move forward, because moving forward means leaving the past behind, and he probably doesn’t think he has the right to live his own life.

Severus is a fascinating character; any therapist would be rubbing their hands together with glee, and the antidepressant and benzodiazepine industry would be thrilled to welcome him lol but no, seriously, that man is not okay. My headcanon is that he’s had chronic depression for years, and that part of his awful personality is also heavily influenced by the fact that he probably wants to die. This also explains his supposed lack of hygiene and his workaholism. These are all signs of severe depression. The wizarding world seriously needs more therapists and menta healthcare resources.

Liam was a boy, and then a man, who suffered so much trauma and pain. He was bullied as a child and then lived a nightmare that I think none of us can really imagine of having that triggering experience replicated on a literally global public scale. He became a man who inflicted trauma on others. He was an addict who was unable to find a way out of that disease, and now never will, but who was open and vulnerable about his struggles. He was an incredibly talented musician and artist and an absolutely integral part of one of the most important bands of a generation; his voice and songwriting and skill in the studio shaped every aspect of what One Direction became at their best. He loved that band and being a part of that experience with his whole being and would never have stopped celebrating what they meant to us and to the world. He had problems and did bad things; that doesn't mean he was a bad person who didn't deserve to be loved and helped to heal- everyone deserves that- and the fact that that's not something that can ever happen now is devastating. I was very distressed by many of his actions; and I cared deeply about this man I didn't know and wished for better for him than this outcome.

I'm so deeply, deeply SAD tonight. I'm sad for Liam, who will never now have the chance to look back on this hard time and reflect on how far he's come, and for Liam's family, for his parents and his sisters who loved and supported him so much, and for everyone in the 1D band family and circles. And I'm sad for us. It feels like nothing will ever be quite the same, and that's hard and sad and shocking. It's a special kind of doubled grief, to mourn the loss of the person, and also of what he meant to us in this strange world of parasocial fanning, for the real him and also for the version of him that we made up and attached so much meaning to and for the escape that brought us. For him, and also for the easy uncomplicated joy of listening to those beautiful songs from happier times, which might never feel the same again. For the other boys, who we love so much and wish we could shield from suffering and loss and pain. For our fellow fans, who we also worry about the impact of this on. Everything about this is terrible, and I am sending so much love out to all of you. We are not alone, and it's okay to feel complicated emotions and it's okay to mourn and it's okay to care about how it effects you and your life, whatever you're feeling- it's okay. We are here with you. We are 1D family.

I saw some extra backstory on Stan from the website and uh… I’m an emotional wreck TwT So I needed to draw at least something to let him know how loved and important he is

He deserves it.

[moonymiel]

regulus is one of the best characters ever to be protagonist of a love story because he’s so prickly and detached on the outside but his inner monologue when he sees someone he likes is literally just please love me back please love me back please never leave even when i try to make you please hold me please love be back- like how is that not foundation for the Best kind of pining in a story

[vaguely-concerned]

are. are you telling me that if the romanced mage warden dies and alistair is king, he deadass stares greagoir down over her dead body and grants the circle of ferelden its autonomy after ordering it rebuilt somewhere safer. first you have to deliberately leave him behind so he won't die for you and then he does that for you once you're gone, even when you're broken up??? absolute and literal king behaviour of the highest order????? the actions speak louder than words of it all??????? I think I hauve covid
