Waterside 9/14/22

All the greats died at lakes.

They let their water sweep away their souls.

They let the tide pull them out to rest.

All the greats died at lakes ' edge.

Last few seconds passed away in peace.

All the greats died at lakes, a poetic end for the framing poets.

Unpopular opinion #2

Severus wasn't in love with Lily.

He had an unhealthy emotional attachment towards her because she was his first friend, the first person ever to be nice to him and whom he could trust. There isn't a single paragraph or sentence in the canon material that implies his feelings for her were romantic, beyond the patronus thing, and that doesn't necessarily mean it was romantic.

She was his best friend, they grew up together, and Severus' life outside of her was miserable (abusive parents, bullying, bigoted housemates, the death eater cause grooming him), so it makes perfect sense he thinks of her to cast a patronus. His only happy memories were probably with her.

She was his family, his anchor, and I dare to say, his sister. And when she died because of the prophecy he overheard, he felt like he killed her himself. He condemned the only person who ever cared about him.

That's why I can't stand the common interpretation of Snape as this lovesick/simp/obsessed stalker in memes and fanon stuff. He literally said it himself, in the books:

"I thought we were friends? Best friends?"

He didn't sound disappointed, or sad, or bothered. He was stating the truth of what he felt. He wanted Lily as his friend, nothing more. And like any normal person, he was broken when he lost her.

i love it when in jegulus fics they have to sprinkle in at least a BIT of bartylus. whether it’s barty james irrationally gets jealous over when there’s nothing going on between and him regulus and they’re js best friends, or barty’s the really flirtatious ex (that james again gets irrationally jealous of) or, him and regulus used to be fwb/hooked up once before, or it’s onesided pining from barty. like they said cheers no matter what universe we’re in those two have Something weird Going On
