I am SICK of Snape - Apologists.

I could talk for HOURS about all the vile shit he did in canon.

People need to understand that canon and fanon are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!

I hate Canon Snape, Fanon Snape can be great, depending on the author.

But all that "he proved to be a good person in the end" bullshit is just that, BULLSHIT!!!!!!

FUCK that guy who bullied and harassed literal children & the only good he ever did he did out if guilt because he got the girl he loved killed.

Evil people are capable of love, but they are still evil.

"Boohoo he was bullied" tons of people have a shotty childhood without becoming a cunt like Snivelus.

about that marauders football au:

it would be obvious to put snape in the death eaters’ team (in this case real madrid cause fuck them) but i think bc in cannon he’s not that appreciated he’d be a referee

(those who know about real vardrid get me)

like he’d whistle in slytherin’s favour and accept bribes for them hoping to be accepted into their little cult like team

also who did you think gryffindor’s and slytherin’s coaches would be???

mcgonagall and slughorn feels wrong

miranda would be on the board of directors probably like a scout director looking for young talents (yes she was the one who found sirius and asked him to sign for gryffindor)

and we ALL know poppy would be on the medical staff

she was the one who treated remus on his injury and later mentored him to work alongside her (for reference check out the tags for my other marauders football au drabbles)

[dear-theodosia22]

James was not prepared for this conversation to happen now.

It had all started so innocently with James asking Sirius about their potions homework.

From there it devolved into other topics as is their other conversations they've had before.

Until eventually it landed here

"Well?" Sirius asked, with an eyebrow raised.

"Erm, I'm not.. really sure mate..." James replied albeit nervously.

"Well you've gotta know I've seen you recently"

" But I... don't wanna make you upset?" James said, ending with a more question-like response.

" Are you asking me or telling me? Why would it make me mad?" Sirius smirked blowing a piece of hair from his makeshift bun made with his wand

" Erm... telling you?"

"Oh, Prongs you sweet lovely innocent boy, Tell me"

James' eyebrow furrowed, he already knew his answer but he didn't wanna upset anyone. He was beginning to get frustrated.

At that moment the dorm door swung open, revealing Remus and Peter back from the kitchens, their hands piled with snacks and sweets for them all to enjoy

Remus took one look at Sirius and James and turned right back around.

Peter chuckled to himself and left some snacks in the dorm before leaving.

" Good luck lads, hope your friendship with each other can withstand whatever this is"

Sirius looked at Peter before giving James a puzzled glance before going back to their conversation

Sirius cleared his throat, "I think, you already have your answer"

James nervously nodded, his throat bobbing.

"Well I mean your crush can't be too bad. Not like it's Mulciber or Merlin forbid, Snivelus" Sirius says, obviously to crack the tension but having the opposite affect

"What, why would I want to shag them? That's like me wanting to shag your brother" James awkwardly replies with a slight crack to his voice.

Sirius' eyes narrow, turning into every bit the Black Heir as he was trained to be.

"It's Reggie isn't it?" Sirius snides coldy, no longer joking.

James starts to fear for his life.

" Do you love him?"

"Yes, I do"

" Will you do whatever is necessary for him?"

" Erm.... Yes?"

" Even murder?"

" Yes" James replied, because if he's ever been sure of anything in his life it's this.

Sirius takes a deep breath, then smiles all joyful and friendly. " Welcome to the family Prongs!"

"Wha-what, that's it?"

" Yup you've officially passed the Black family test!" Sirius grinned.

" The old croon may have been insane and wrong about nearly everything, but shockingly not that. Though technically she never came up with that." Sirius ponders for a minute but then shrugs as if it was a brief thought.

James wanted to act confused but after years of being Sirius' friend he's used to the Black family dramatics.

Doesn't make it any better to deal with though.

Internal monologues

Sirius: my eyeliner is on point today … what you looking at Snivelus, you could never pull this off … Oh! Prank idea! Nice one padfoot. Thank you Padfoot ... “Crazy little thing call love, there goes my baby, she knows how to rock and roll…” … But Moony hasn’t complimented my eyeliner yet ☹️ I guess he is kinda preoccupied with the full moon coming up … I should get him more chocolate, his stash is running low, that will make him feel better …

Remus: right, I have a free period this morning and I have to get my transfiguration essay done if I want to make any progress on my charms project before prefect rounds tonight. Shit! I have tutoring this afternoon! Ok I’ll just pull an all nighter to get my project done before the moon. Oh for fucks sake Sirius just made his “I have an idea for a prank” face. There goes my whole evening.

Peter: ugh, look at Izzie Cooper’s makeup. Learn how to contour girl. No wonder Jack Bennett is snogging Luke Green behind her back. I can’t wait to see that blow up … no way did Marlene just come to dinner late with a hicky, I’ll definitely be interrogating her later. I hope it’s Dorcas, I can’t take any more of their “rivalry”.

James: beep beep ima sheep I said beep beep ima sheep, beep beep… Wait! … Don’t fear ima deer I said don’t fear ima deer. I’m a genius.

Ben Barnes: people are casting me as Snape!

Sirius Black: WHAT.

Ben: yes!

Sirius: like in what universe is Snivelus this *points back at Ben and him* attractive?

Ben: no universe.

[dufferpuffer]

What are your thoughts on snack as a ship.

There are many fics out there. Some as the teen versions and others as adult them.

One fic i really enjoyed but it had the plot of taking James away from Sirius for plot purpose. You know because James wants to keep bullying. So it was like Sirius+remus on one side where snack takes place while James and peter on the other side with jily happening on the side.

I really loved this story and the characterisation was good too but I can't see Sirius especially teen Sirius willingly breaking up with bff James. I think it would have been more fun if James tried to make friends with snape for his bff sake . Only for Sirius you know. He would not do so for lily but Sirius just has that power over him with puppy dog eyes.

Another fic I read was about ootp snack. Again it was done nicely but again here remus characterisation was a little skewed because for me post azkaban Sirius and remus didn't have a good buddy ship. They were just hanging in there for old times sake.

I mean it was not like someone hit a pause button on their friendship for 12years. Their friendship was already in ruins before James death. So i was a little icky about remus being like a normal friend and giving relationship advice and you know teasing Sirius. Because I can't see a traumatized Sirius willingly making fun with a remus. Cause one thing which I highly appreciate about canon Sirius is that he after being stuck so long, didn't seem to be struck in the past, he kept on pushing and moving forward while lupin often came across as missing good old times. They both had loads of free time in their respective isolation years but their reaction to it is different.

Anyways I really don't like how snape becomes super comfortable around lupin when he begins a relationship with Sirius in snack fics . He is scared of werewolf and fear is not rational. He won't be practical and think oh well it is not the full moon night, i an safe.

Wouldn't it feel real that even after years of being in a relationship, snape still avoid being alone with the resident wolf. In turn remus hating being avoided by thr person his bff will marry and instead of clearing the air out like a normal person, he antagonize snape. Sirius struck in the middle. Both sides ranting to him. Making him Choose, in snapes case as an ultimatum and in Remus's case passive aggressive tone. I mean Remus can play people, he can make it so that Sirius leaves snape because his bf is making his friend uncomfortable and remus is little munchkin who shouldn't be troubled.

Sorry i got carried away.

So the ask is - 1)snape and Sirius relationship thoughts - both a teen/ yong adult snack and adult traumatized snack , if you could go in that much details. + 2) How remus and snape interact , their dynamic in the role of friend and boyfriend+ 3) remus's behavior if ootp Sirius and Severus date. ( like genuinely what will he do because I can't see him being overly supportive and teasing Sirius and befriending snape etc)

Bonus : Lily and snape circling around each other (a non voldy au where they are young adults) being the partner of the main marauders knowing all too well that j and s will always be friend so they will have to suck it up if they want to stay in relationship with their respective partner.

Omg the possibilities of drama in this scenario. I mean people often tight love stories about enemies to lovers but the fun in exploring James 's reaction in learning his bff is dating snivelus. The betrayal but then it is Sirius so he will just wait until they just break up. 😂

I don't even know if you have interest in all this, please ignore if not.

Anonymous asked: What’s your take on Sirius/Snape?

Thank you for the asks!!! I've never thought too much about Snack (Sirius/Severus) before, so this was a lot of fun! They have a lot in common, but went in incompatible directions: + Both had unhappy childhoods, with a family that abused them. + Both are incredibly loyal and fight to the death. + Both are intelligent problem-solvers who boldly face challenges head-on. + Both are honest people. They blatantly say what they think. + Both are sarcastic, witty, sometimes a little cruel - but are caring at their core. – Sirius, raised in a Pureblood 'Slytherin' house, rejected every part of that heritage and built himself a new identity. – Severus, raised in a muggle house, found appreciation for his magical skills and purpose amongst Slytherin/DE's.

...I don't think there is much hope for them being friends if Sirius meets James first. James shines brightly with everything he wishes his life was: Laid back, messy, relaxed, free... Like a moth to a flame.

I agree that Sirius leaving his friends seems out of character. I think it flows better if there is a change in the environment that forces change in a character, such as: If Sirius never met James on the train - and sorted into Slytherin. ((1700 words; 3 parts: 1970s, 1990s, Remus))

1970s

If a bitter, lonely Sirius Black unsatisfied with his home life could sit down and get to know Snape, (not just butt heads like a pair of goats)... I think after a period of rivalry (them both being the two smartest in their house) they would become inseparable. Once they realized they could understand eachother so deeply, and are fascinated by eachother's worlds (muggle and pureblood) their loyalty would WELD to eachother.

Shaggy, black haired twins. The Snake-Eyes of Slytherin. The King of Transfiguration and the Prince of Potions.

- People assume Severus is Sirius' brother instead of Regulus. - They would mark their shared research/journal entries 'S.S.' in two different inks. - They would steer clear of Death Eaters – and Severus wouldn't need them in order to feel accepted. He has Sirius. - They'll be a couple of menaces: sarcastic and snarky, more interested in their own feelings above all others... - A little bullying. Sirius likes to talk smack on those he doesn't respect, but nothing serious. Maybe a hex or two. (James was more the physical bully, anyway - Sirius was at the sidelines jeering.) - Without being bullied, without facing constant pain and humiliation, without having to work out counter-jinxes... I don't think Severus would get interested in Dark Magic. - Neither of them would be able to stand James. His life has been easy, he was loved and supported... yet he has the nerve to look down upon Slytherins? He doesn't know what they have BOTH been through.

Would Severus still be friends with Lily? From his end, I think so - he is very loyal. But would she get along with Sirius' boisterous attitude? Would she think he is changing Severus for the worse? Would she get a little jealous...? It used to be just them in a world of Muggles, playing with their magic... and now Severus is smitten. Would she worry that Sirius Black is isolating him socially because they so deeply rely on eachother?

...Would she become closer to James, Remus and Peter? THAT is an interesting group... That's enough about teenagers. I want men. Man time.

1990s

Sirius and Severus have even MORE common-ground. Like grudges :) ...But they are also broken in more ways that make it difficult.

Severus has had to learn to mask his emotions. To lie. To sit back and watch horrible things happen so he can act at the best time. ...These are characteristics Sirius struggles to comprehend. He is still just as honest, just as brazen, just as bold as ever. - Sirius see's things like lying as being scummy, weak, turning your back on your morals, on who you are... for the sake of staying alive a little longer!? Cowardice! - Severus thinks Sirius is immature. Dying so easily is just selfishness masquerading as selflessness. Stay alive and fight, even at the cost of everything you are.

+ They are both stubborn; unlikely to like someone they have decided to hate. + They have both lost the light of their life to something that was partially their fault. + They have both had their lives, their dreams for the future, utterly destroyed. + They have both been trapped in a form of 'servitude' ever since that day. + They are both tired, with foul tempers. + They are both, more often than not... alone.

They are very alike... but they feel like they share nothing. The way they see the world is alien to eachother. It's a large bridge to cross... and they are both the sort to not want to bother crossing large bridges.

But they do share one all-encompassing important thing: Harry Potter is the core of their lives.

THIS is an excellent post - (my reblog in case it's taken down) That is one compelling way Sirius and Severus could make a connection and have a civil conversation.

Sirius seeing Snape in Harry's trauma/abuse surviving behaviour. Sirius has so much time to introspect, to get drunk and remember the past... now that he sees how similar Harry is to how Severus was, the fact he bullied him hurts. It's like he has bullied Harry.

Sirius is an honorable man. When he see's he has done wrong, he will bow his head and apologize... ...However, Severus isn't the type to take an apology without snark. "A little late, isn't it Black? It really took you 20 years to even consider me human?"Snape would deny having much in common with Harry. It's mostly denial ('Potter is a brat like his father') with some embarrassment, too. Snape being a prick about it would set Sirius off, of course. "Oh you can NEVER just take a good thing, can you Snivellius..." They would fight again... but I think, as Order meetings continue: - Sirius will be nicer to Severus. He has lost the taste for being nasty. - Severus will lose his taste for more than basic comments at Sirius' expense. Deep down he appreciates the apology - very few have ever apologized to him before. - The fact he treats him differently means even more. He has stuck to his words. Without the bite of hatred they start finding eachothers words humorous. Entertaining. A battle of wits rather than a battle of blood pressure. Severus visiting has gone from a test of patience to something Sirius gets excited about! It gets so boring and lonely... everyone is always so down-beat because of the war, so stressed... nobody anyone wants to BANTER. And-! Severus can tell him how Harry is doing!!!

The change in their dynamic is immediately felt by others... ...but nobody knows what to make of it. All they know is that sparks aren't flying anymore - from their tempers or their wands. They're smiling more. - Big toothy grin's from Sirius, licking his teeth and flicking his eyebrows as he thinks of something else clever to say. - Small curling smirks from Severus, leaning against the table as he shoots back some biting remark.

Snape often needs to thunder off somewhere. Things are only getting harder. The quiet, cold walls of Grimmauld Place and Sirius' eagerness to listen to anything, even complaints... it's soothing. Sirius knows so many of his secrets already. He can really let loose - and Sirius can take all of it. The anger, the sorrow, the frustration, the regrets... he finds it 'entertaining' - and always manages to bring his mood back up.

The kids don't really notice, they aren't that emotionally aware yet... ...But Harry notices when Sirius tells him off for being irresponsible in one of Snape's lessons.

"...How did you know that?!" "Severus always complains about you - but this time he was right: That WAS needlessly irresponsible. Potion making can be very dangerous." Harry completely ignored the scolding. "You and Snape... talk!?" Sirius blinks, looking a little confused. Did he and Severus... 'talk'? "...He IS a member of the Order, Harry..." Sirius chuckled, but knew his godson had a point: It was very odd that he had been spending more time with Severus... and that Severus was spending more time over.

...Severus was someone Sirius could talk to about anything. Even the horrors of Azkaban. He's seen equal or worse. Few people can keep him on his toes as much as Severus, and those that can... are rarely in the mood. But when he is trading words with Snape his brain feels like its coming back to him. It reminds him of talking to James sometimes... Was Severus always this endearing sarcastic...? Was he always this intelligent...? Was he always this quick-witted...? The boy in his memory is one that spat out curses (magical and mundane) like spitting watermelon seeds... but maybe he just wasn't really listening? He wasn't seeing him for who he was, all this time?

Remus

Remus cant tell what the odd dynamic between Sirius and Severus has become - and he doesn't really care enough to ask. He doesn't spend much time thinking about Snape. He never has. Severus was abrasive and stuck his nose where it didn't belong. Their time teaching together didn't exactly make them buddies, either.

He's just happy the man rarely interacts with him. He has little to say to Severus. Now that Severus has 'done his duty' warning the world of his condition he has little to say to Remus, too. If they had their way they'd probably never speak a word to eachother ever again.

Sirius is far better company. They weren't on the best of terms during the first war... but it is nice having an old face back in his life. Someone he knows he doesn't have to pretend with.

...SO its rather annoying when Severus gets dragged into their conversations. Sometimes he just arrives, complaining about things. Every time Sirius turns his head and starts 'playing', the conversation they were having overridden as a new shiny toy walks in. Its not even to bully him anymore! THAT he could understand: Sirius always liked riling people up, especially Severus - and these days he was desperate for any form of fun. No... this was madness. It was mutual. Severus will always pick the seat next to Sirius. They will chat and scoff and bicker, leaving Remus standing there like a houseplant. Passed up... for Snivellius. It seems ridiculous...

He doesn't want to admit that he is sore that Sirius is passing him up for a 'new friend'. He doesn't want to admit that he likes being the one shoulder Sirius can lean on. Admitting those things makes him feel selfish and petty.

Lupin has always been good at remaining civil. I don't think he would care if they formally started 'dating'... just surprised. I agree with you - I don't think his friendship is strong enough for him to put effort into becoming more than just 'civil' with Severus.

But I am torn on whether Remus will inevitably grow a little more distant as he leans more towards Tonks and the Weasleys... ...or whether he would humbly make an effort to sit down and talk to Severus, man-to-man, friend-to-boyfriend... and find all the common ground they also share with one another. (But I have more interest in Snupin - I don't want to bring that bias here, lol.)

[sophsicle]

You wouldn’t catch me dead speaking a word in defense of Snivelus but him saying he wants to buy a nice house for his mom got me a little, I can’t even lie

same tbh

i've always found the class element of his character the most interesting, especially when you think about the things James and Sirius make fun of him for and how class coded they are, so I wanted to play with that a bit in kyd and then also, of course, show how his family dynamic kind of exaggerates it

his mom is sick and he wants to be able to take care of her the way that his dad doesn't, wants to show up for her the way that his dad doesn't, and he can't do any of that without money

but he's still a bit of a prick

Summary: Every year eager apprentices and their renowned masters gather at the Hogsmeade Yuletide Fair in order to showcase their advancements to the people of the land. So, it should come to no one’s surprise—really—that one Sirius Black would find this to be the perfect opportunity to test out his latest creation. Nor should anyone be shocked—at all—that Severus Snape ends up having a terrible day.

Notes: This was my first time ever writing for this ship and I hope I’ve done them justice, both Severus and Sirius are amongst my favorites so I have a ton of love for them ❤️💚 to get into their mood/dynamic I completely immersed myself in the stunning starprince artwork from incredibly talented artist @intotheswollenriver (I swear this artist is the backbone of this ship) 😮‍💨🪭

Excerpt below

Because Severus’ life is anything but uncomplicated, it doesn’t take longer than seven minutes once they set foot in Hogsmeade for their group to cross paths with the miscreant apprentices of Dumbledore.

A stupid grin breaks on James Potter’s face as he notices their group—more specifically, Lily.

Sirius Black, as always, is smirking in that infuriating way of his. Long black hair, that rivals Bellatrix’s, tied up in a ponytail.

Much to Severus’ chagrin, he stands three inches taller than him. With impeccable robes and boots, as one would expect of any member of House Black.

His smirk grows as he notices Severus staring.

“There’s a painter next to our booth, we can commission him a portrait of me if you want, Snivelus.” Red, it’s red all over his vision. “But I gotta tell you, I’m a bit of a jealous type, dunno how I feel about sharing a spot above your bed next to your Riddle love-notes.”

If Severus is not careful, he’ll break his project with how hard he’s squeezing the ceramic shaker in his hands.

“Stop being mean, Sirius.” It’s Bellatrix who answers, and the shift in the other Black is immediate, his smirk transforming into a more genuine smile. “Also, Severus doesn’t have any love-notes written about our master hanging above his bedding, that’s just ridiculous.”

Black laughs and raises his hands in defeat.

Before the cousins can say anymore, Potter opens his big mouth.

“Hey Lily! Looking lovely as always, I love that, what’s that? Er—snake and flower embroidery on your robes.” Daft as he is, he doesn’t seem to notice how the temperature seems to drop even lower than what it already is.

“Thank you, James.” Lily’s smile is friendly, but polite. “I made it myself.” And the boy obviously misses how the same exact pattern—a snake wrapped around a lily flower—is also embroidered to Bellatrix’s black robes.

“That’s so amazing, you’re amazing—” Potter laughs. “What are you up to anyway? Would you like to—”

A few things happen simultaneously.

Black sighs like someone who’s about to witness something he doesn’t want to and Bellatrix steps in front of Lily, blocking Potter’s view. A smile that doesn’t even pretend to be anything but predatory widens in her striking face.

“Oh, hello James, it’s lovely to see you.” And she continues speaking over his confused ‘Hey… Bellatrix,’ “Did you hear the news? Apparently Lucius wants to court my sister, and as a matter of fact I think he just told us he was taking her on a walk, isn’t that right, Lilian?” Bellatrix doesn’t look back at Lily, whose green eyes widen for just a second before she slowly nods.

“Yes, Bella, to the rose garden with the mistletoe canopy.” The color drains from James Potter’s face.

“What,” he says dumbly.

“Oh yes, and you know how Cissy is, ever so the dutiful daughter,” Severus mentally scoffs, if there’s something Narcissa isn’t, it’s dutiful. But of all the Black children, she’s the only one who’s got Bellatrix fooled.

Narcissa plays her part perfectly, but at the end of the day she does whatever she wants.

“She would never say no to Lucius… you know there’s been talk about their marriage since they were babies,” she continues. “Just the other day Nicola was telling my mother how she couldn’t wait for more blonde haired Malfoy children to run around the Manor.”

Women are devious creatures, thinks Severus as he watches James Potter, with all color drained from him, sprint away from their group.

Lucius is secretive, but it’s hard to keep a big secret in Master Riddle’s workshop. They all know Malfoy’s been meeting with Evan’s cousin, Pandora, since the summer solstice.

And Severus knows Narcissa enjoys giving Potter a hard time. She told him once, “He’s young, he needs to get his impatience out of his system before I give him a third of my attention—Potter gets bored, only boys get bored,” with a small smirk.

Women.

“Sirius.” The eldest Black says in a warning tone.

“Bellatrix.” He responds nonchalantly.

“I told you that you should be more discerning of your company.”

“James is a great guy, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

And before her temper starts acting up, Black pulls his cousin into a hug and kisses her cheek sweetly. The elder girl nearly disappears as she’s engulfed by his brutish form.

She’s soon laughing and chastising him, but with no bite.

There’s a total of five people who can handle Bellatrix without her being aware of it: Master Riddle, her grandfather, Sirius, Narcissa and Lily.

Severus sometimes wonders what would happen if she were to ever become aware of it.

“So, where’s Reggie?” Asks Black as he herds his cousin to a slow-paced walk. His long arm hung over her shoulder. To anyone walking, they could pass off as twins.

It’s the small weight of Lily’s hand on his forearm that stops him from silently slipping away from the nightmare-ish company.

“Let’s go, Sev?” Lily’s green eyes are kind, her freckles less pronounced with the colder season.

[mugglebornmenace]

People need to understand that when I call Snape evil, I am referring to Canon!Snape.

Fanon!Snape can be AMAZING, for Circe's sake, I read tons of Jeverus / Severitus. But that is NOT Canon!Snape!

Yes, he did some good things.

Yes he had a shitty life & I DO feel bad for what he went through.

No, NOTHING makes the way he behaves as a teacher okay.

All Snape-Defenders so far have been unable to in any way explain/justify that part of him. When confronted with that, they flee into weak whataboutism like "but other were bad too". Yes, the Marauders and even other teachers had bad moments/ times too. THATS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. This is about your "always, Snape my love" bullshit, don't hide behind other character's flaws.

I do NOT defend the Marauders & their bullying in ANY way!

[mel4rock]

Remus calls Snape 'Severus' during the whole third Book while Snape says Lupin all the time. We know that Snape and Remus have never been the best friends and that (at least) Remus friends used to call Snape 'Snivelus' back in school. Of course Remus couldn't use that name,'cause Snape could just tell everyone that he is a werewolf and also it wouldn't be the best manners infront of students. But using the first name is okay, many teachers are on first name base but at the same time Snape would hate it just a little bit everytime but he couldn't say anything about it. After all Remus is still a marauder

[that-pjo-obsessed-b1tch]

James: shall we go irritate Snivelus?

Sirius: fuck yes.

Literally no one:

Sirius black every 20 minutes: I'm bored

[dracosiwa]

James: We’re f-f-flying on a broom

Remus: Destination Snivelus’ room

Peter: Pass the mic right over to-

All: SIRIUS!

James: We forgot Sirius…

Peter: But we cant turn back any-time soon!

Remus: We have to turn back though, we can’t leave him… that was a good rhyme tho…

in deep narrator voice: they didn’t turn back

Favorite duo! Here are some drawings he made yesterday! With two of my favorite characters;)

Original me

[handledwithgloves]

let’s debunk some of these just for fun and for the education of others. let it be known that op likes regulus so clearly their post is meant to be taken lightly.

first, things op considered bad by snape:

-blood supremacist/called lily a slur

lets also take into account that he has been abused and mistreated by muggles his whole life so its not surprising that he would lean towards hating muggles not to mention that almost all of slytherin house (his peers and who he spends majority of his time with) were blood supremacists and could easily influence him further than his current beliefs and he called lily a slur in a heated moment after which hes apologized profusely for which lily in her right rejected.

this doesnt excuse his actions but clearly he’s regretted since.

-invented sectumsepmra

honestly hes a very bright student for creating a curse at such a young age. should we ask why he would feel so compelled to create such a gruesome curse? for his enemies specifically not for just anyone to use willy nilly for people who he considered enemies. how horribly was he treated by the marauders that he felt he needed to create such a curse to protect himself? lets also note that he never used it against the intended anyway.

-joined death eaters

well, yes. as ive stated before it was were he lied politically based off of his own personal past experiences. an action of his that he spent the rest of his life repenting for and sacrificing himself for. that was how much he wanted to change.

-wanted to save lily only

well, he couldnt ask voldemort to save harry could he? voldemort would kill him on the spot. why would he ask to save harry? even asking dumbledore he couldn’t ask to save harry because just asking dumbledore for help was asking for too much especially because he was on the other side of the war until then. he had one life save and he chose lily because lily meant the most to him.

-george’s missing ear

well, hes alive isnt he?

- outed remus as a werewolf

he was well within his rights to do so. remus was a danger to the students and proved to be so after almost attacking the golden trio. had remus been able to control himself and taken his wolfsbane before going to the shrieking shack, he never wouldve turned into a werewolf and almost killed the kids. i love remus but thsi is completely on him. this has been twice now that severus found remus to be extremely dangerous at the shrieking shack.

-bullied children / was neville’s bogart

he was definitely not made for the occupation he also didnt choose it. as for neville’s boggart it could easily be debunked as a similar boggart to hermione. his fear to fail in snape’s class not necessarily that snape is threatening him or hurting him. as for the toad he never said he would be the one to kill it he only said that next time neville made his potion he should be confident enough to feed it to his pet then see if it lives. which is hilarious. as for hermione idk about the teeth thing but he dislikes how by the book she is. she is smart but she recites books word for word and follows them to a tee. severus the owner of harry’s potion’s book is clearly a figure it out and understand the content yourself because books are not always trustworthy. i personally agree. a true scholar would seek their own answer with the logic to back it up.

*we’ll be skipping the good that severus snape did because the list would simply be too long

next, things considered bad by james:

-snivelus

personally i like the nickname bc i think its cute and a little funny

-bullied snape

lets also include that he sexually assaulted him. belittled, demeaned him his whole hogwarts career from the moment they met because…? because. they barely talked and he just decided to make severus’s life more difficult. severus who was abused and neglected at home and now abused at school. had james chose to befriend him instead you cant help but wonder if everything would be different. instead he chose to torment severus for no reason other than that he was close to lily and didnt like muggles and was a slytherin.

lets also add to this list:

-got his family killed

in the middle of a war he decided it would be a great idea to … celebrate halloween where stangers are disguised and come to knock on your door for candy. not to mention that his own child specifically is being targeted. yet he left his wand on the couch and let voldemort into his home to kill his wife and child. at what point was this brave of him to do? why didnt they come up with a plan b or c? why would they just trust peter despite originally only trusting sirius who didnt want the responsibility and lumped it onto the only other person in their friend group. young and dumb and because of his actions and carelessness and arrogance he is dead and can never redeem himself except through harry.

finally, things considered good by james:

-animagus

this was actually really sweet but illegal and irresponsible. anything for moony. except trust.

-took in sirius black

sirius wasnt even abused. he left that house out of his own free will because he thought he was better than them and disagreed with them politically. and it wasnt up to james sirius came to him and it was up to fleamont and euphemia to take sirius in. james was just there.

-stopped the prank

actually he saved remus. lets not say james suddenly had a change of heart and cared for severus’s wellbeing. he did it because if severus died remus will be sent to azkaban. its obvious because even after the prank and severus’s near death experience, they continue to bully and torment him which led to the drift between severus and lily.

-died.

as i said and will say again. what about this is heroic? he gave lily two seconds to get to harry. like what was james going to do other than hold his hands up to try to stop voldy from entering. you have to be joking. stupidest way to die. could’ve cheked the peephole maybe.

respectfully, why would people stan a man who lived his whole life being an asshole never got to become better and died the most ridiculous death in harry potter history! other than befriending remus despite his infliction what had james potter done that could make him so lovable? what do people see in him? respectfully, he was the worst bully in the whole series and never showed regret for it.

people do not like canon james. they like this completely new different character they created who was a bully for right reasons (?) (there are never right reasons to be a bully) and is silly and goofy and basically a marysue. you do not like james potter. you like an oc, that you created to fit your narrative.

james is meant to be a lesson to harry. thats it. a lesson that even people you think are good can be bad. its the very lesson sirius told him that every person can be good or bad and has the choices. its a welcome to the world of grey (the correct one, not the story). its to teach harry to be understanding (something a lot of you snape haters dont seem to get apparently). to let him know that the world is not black and white. and severus taught harry that people can change. that he doesn’t have to let his hurt carry on with him because he will hurt others. that holding onto love to the very end could make you a better person. that being kind can change someones life (that ones also from lily).

so yeah. why stan james potter when severus snape is right there? a very human and complex person who tried his whole life to right his one wrong. you dont have to like him or ignore all the bad things he’s done to make him likable. you just have to understand that hes not simply good or bad he’s interesting. unlike james who was an asshole, helped create harry, then died… essentially.

its upsetting that marauders fans would not only dimish snape’s experiences of being bullied and abused (at home and school) but also blame him for it? saying he deserved it or ‘who else would do it?’

it’s all a joke to you lot but sev does not need to be your villain/foil so u could praise your version of james potter. no one is ever deserving of being bullied (which was the main point of op’s post in the first place)

“but james potter was a bully””he bullied snape!!!” ok? someone had to do it.

🙄

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things Snape did canonically:

Bad:

•Snape was a blood supremacist who called lily a slur.

•invented a curse for enemies (marauders)

I don’t think a good person would make up a curse which mutilates someone terribly. That too, during his time in Hogwarts.

•oh yeah later on he became a death eater 😋 (the main goal of the death eaters wasto eliminate all muggle-borns in the wizarding world and establish voldemort as its ruler)(magical nazis basically).

Plus when voldy was going to kill lily, Snape was like yk what you can kill the husband and the INFANT just don’t hurt my lily flower teehee like okay james bullied him so him not caring about james made sense but harry was a child bro

•BULLIED CHILDREN DURING HIS TIME AS A PROFESSOR????? he was literally neville’s bogart ffs and not because “some teachers are just scary okay Neville was afraid of almost everything!!!” but because Snape bullied neville on a daily basis plus threatened to kill his pet after a failed potion thingy. plus he made fun hermione’s physical appearance (when draco made her teeth all big and Snape was like hah it’s the same there’s no difference) and he bullied for BEING GOOD AT ACADEMICS LIKE 😭😭😭???? He bullied almost everyone in Hogwarts I just know it.

•sectumsempra’d George’s year off.

•tried to out Remus Lupin as a werewolf for NO reason other than his childish misdemeanour.

Good:

•called Sirius and Remus an old married couple.

•saves Katie bell from a cursed necklace

•saves draco malfoy from a terrible curse that could’ve killed him by the counter charm “vulnera saneteur”

can someone guess which curse Snape saved draco from??? You’re right! It was sectumsempra!

•switched sides or smth

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things james did canonically:

Bad:

•called Snape snivellus (was funny ngl)

•bully snape

Good:

•turned into an illegal animagus at the age of 15 so his werewolf friend (Remus) has company during his transformations.

•took sirius black in after he ran away from an abusive hoursehold.

•SAVED FUCKING SNAPE FROM REMUS IN HIS WEREWOLF FORM AFTER SIRIUS SENT HIM THERE.

JAMES SAVED SNAPE.

•literally died trying to stall Voldemort so Lily and Harry have some time to escape or just live in general.

So my point is canon james was a bit of an asshole but he still did way more good deeds than Snape even though Snape was in all the seven books like one of the good things he did was literally the consequences of his own actions (healing draco).

All of this is canon btw. NONE of it is fanon.

sincerely keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth he did what should have been done.

cutie

Alice would like to, in the words of James Potter, "Give the biggest 'fuck you' to a one Snivelus Snape", for saying she was 'barely tolerable' and that Frank Longbottom 'wasn't smart enough to know Polyjuice from Pumpkin'.
