The only thing I want to make clear is that I don’t think Severus was a better person than James Potter, nor is my problem with James Potter about proving he was a hundred times worse than Severus Snape. My problem with James Potter is that he was a piece of shit, and many people constantly try to justify his actions through victim-blaming and body-shaming, which deeply gets on my nerves.

My problem with James Potter is that it’s perfectly fine to acknowledge that the guy was a privileged rich brat who used that privilege to bully and mess with people at school, surrounded by his buddies like any average bully who couldn’t stand up for himself because he lacked the guts. My problem with James Potter is that the guy clearly had sadistic tendencies, and his fans are constantly trying to deny it or rewrite his character as if he were some playful and friendly pup when he clearly wasn’t.

I mean, Severus was a messed-up guy, and I like him for being that way. He was a bastard and had a shitty personality, but I think we’re all aware of that. Some people don’t forgive him; others like him precisely because of it. Nobody denies it, folks—he wasn’t a good person, and that’s okay. We like him for not being one. What’s not so cool is constantly denying that, yes, he was a victim of bullying, and no, he didn’t deserve that bullying, and no, James Potter wasn’t some kind of vigilante. He was just a rich kid, Draco Malfoy-style, acting like a complete asshole, targeting those he considered weaker to subject them to violence.

If Severus can’t be considered a hero because, despite the good things he did, he also did bad things, then neither can James Potter. Because joining a group of people fighting against evil doesn’t erase the fact that you were an abuser. Getting married and having kids doesn’t erase the fact that you were an abuser. The only thing that can reintegrate you into society after being an abuser is acknowledging that you were one, seeking help to change your behavior, and, most importantly, sincerely apologizing to your victims and compensating them for the harm caused. And he didn’t do that, so he remains an abuser.

You won’t see me saying, "James was worse than Severus," because that’s not the point or the issue. You’ll always see me simply saying that James was a piece of shit, period. The difference with other characters who were also pieces of shit is that people don’t deny it, but in James’s case, they do. So, I feel a moral obligation to remind people of it over and over again so the point doesn’t get lost.

with every god awful take about james potter on the internet an angel loses its wings.

what do you mean he didn’t care about the dark arts and death eaters until it affected him personally. what. you mean the famously blood traitor potter family? you mean one of the only actual canon things we have about james being that he hated the dark arts? you mean the james that yelled at snape for calling lily a mudblood?? you mean the james that went on the front lines of a war he had the privilege to not fight in????

please anti blood supremacy is literally ingrained in his core beliefs can we just keep this ONE THING about him 😭

@wixenforever @jundsthoughts Can you guys tell I love scenes where Harry and Theo say idgaf to their respective house rivalries, ultimately choosing each other? Yeah.

In canon, Harry just went through a lot of isolation during year 5. And, you know, the rest too. But this was a next level, and Ron and Hermione were busy with their things too, so it felt particularly striking. Good thing Harry met Luna. I dont know if you plan adding Luna as plot relevant, but in my head, shes probably there, also giving no fucks, and maybe joining the table alongside these two or something.

I love Botl Blaise, I cant wait to read more of him. Here, Blaise proceeds to also not give a fuck. John goes to the rescue. Draco draco’s. Theo gets over some uncomfortableness for a friend’s sake and Harry fucking appreciates it. Seamus—is a scared kid going through it and lashing out. Luckily for him, Theo is somewhat merciful and chose the pacific route this time. Also Severus the Long Suffering is there too. Hi Minerva.

Happy holidays, here’s a Severus Snape. Been reading a lot lately, so sorry for the inactivity. I really should start posting outside of my art.

In 2025, alongside my fanart i will (hopefully) start posting my original work. <333

If I don’t post again till January, I wish you well

y'all, I'm struggling rn

I just read Snape's Worst Memory from canon for the very first time.

It's really telling how much JKR romanticizes child abuse.

The Dursleys abuse Harry by keeping him in a cupboard and making him do labor. Sure we're supposed to know it's wrong but who just sits around fantasizing about child abuse (hint: JKR).

The Weasleys abused their children by yelling at them, not being able to tell apart Fred and George, and disowning them (Percy). And we're supposed to think The Weasleys are "ideal parents" according to JKR.

Sirius's parents are heavily implied to be abusive, in fact Walburga's portrait yells and insulted him constantly. He hates being in her house which speaks a lot to how abusive his family was.

James was shown to be abusive to Snape and Lily in Snape's Wormst Memory, which means he could have easily been abusive as a parent too, which JKR never bothered to describe because she thought other things were more interesting.

The Malfoys were clearly not great parents considered they allowed literal Voldemort into their house and put Draco in lots of danger.

In Harry's first year he has to go to detention in the forbidden forest which was extremeley dangerous, and the teachers all endorsed it.

Snape was obviously an abusive teacher and yet JKR clearly forgave him by the end of the story, as if we weren't meant to see him as bad at all. First he was bad, then he was suddenly good? You can't just ignore when someone is an abuser. Idk if she's an abuse apologist or just a bad writer but either way.

Abuse of house elfs including Dobby which is an allegory for child abuse since elfs are small and under the owndership of their families.

Harry named his OWN CHILD after Severus Snape, a literal Nazi. If that isn't child abuse I don't know what is.

Were in the series did JKR bother to condemn any of this? Nowhere. It's clear she doesn't consider the abuse of children something worth speaking out against. Particularly the elfs she just didn't condemn it at all in fact the whole narrative around them seems to condone their violent treatment.

I really wonder what kind of people Fleamont and Euphemia Potter were because James gives such Dudley Dursley vibes.

The thing is, I can kinda understand why Remus and Sirius behaved as they did as part of the Marauders. Remus wasn't going to turn against his only supportive friend group, even when it was his duty to. And Sirius came from a completely toxic, possible abusive, family that was made up of Slytherins, so he took his anger out on another Slytherin. But James? The boy with all the privileges; the spoiled son of doting parents, financially stable, socially well placed, tight friend group. Who targeted an abused, poverty stricken, socially disadvantaged boy because he existed. James had no reason to behave as he did, other than the fact he was a spoiled brat who had never been told "no" in his life. James Potter is just an athletic variant of Dudley Dursley. Only difference is, Dudley matured and realised he was wrong.

tbh i dont get the hate snape gets for calling lily mudblood. dude was very stressed out, in awful situation, and he used a slur. so what? if I, as a (closeted he was) queer man, used a slur like faggot, that still applies to me, and i called my friend a fag because they did not try to stop my bullies from bullying me, ?? who fucking cares?? like sure in lily's position it would suck that fellow queer used a slur but still she should get how bad it was and how wrong the bullies were??

my point is. you sit alone minding ur own business. bunch of ur bullies come up and hold u upside down. ready to pull your underwear down. ur only friend does nothing. u call them fag/mudblood (same thing u are).

how is that worth of something to bring up later in their life?

I was thinking about the Harry Potter saga (I like it, I'm a Slytherin person, but I do not support that transphobic b*tch) and I was wondering about which characters could be neurodivergent.

I think Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom and Severus Snape could be autistic. Maybe one day I'll tell you exactly why I do headcanon them as that.

And I read that Harry could have BPD or PTSD as well (a page that talks about BPD talked about him).

ill never tag a post pro snape because even though the very sight of him makes me explode with a love that brings me to my knees the thing i want to see most is him being put in a position where guilt is not enough and he must slave over the care of everyone he's ever wronged and finally accept that feeling sorry for himself made him a useless bitter cunt. which is not conducive to pro snape philosophy. i support him though
