this is a character study of severus snape. this is taken directly from my main blog, but it's honestly written more like a fic so here you go

also i did a sirius and lily one as well

so we know snape had a shit home life. his muggle father was abusive, and his pureblood mother was neglectful. he's not stupid; he knows they're poor, and he probably saw their living situation as the fault of his father for dragging his mother away from the wizarding world.

he knows the muggles think of him as the weird poor kid, and none more so than petunia evans. but then there's petunia's sister, lily, the only good thing in his life.

and then he turns 11, and hogwarts seems like a dream. no parents, no muggles, just learning and maybe meeting some people who are like him and lily (who he thinks is in slytherin).

unfortunately for him, the first people he and lily meet on the train are the most anti-slytherin gryffindors around - james, who quite literally wants to be a knight in shining armor, and sirius, who had any potential like for slytherin beaten out of him. so they exchange insults, and there's no violence, not yet, but james and sirius get the last word in.

and, yeah, maybe he's a little jealous that his rivals formed such a fast and easy friendship. there's no way in hell he could do that, but fortunately for him, there's some boys in slytherin that seem particularly eager to make his acquaintance. they make him feel special and included, and yeah, they're kinda shady, but severus is no stranger to dark and creepy. plus, they're what's available, and severus is nothing if not the victim of his circumstances.

the years pass. the insults gets worse, the pranks start, and the violence begins. a lot of the time, severus is defending himself, but even he has to admit, he gives as good as he gets. however, there's no denying he is a victim of bullying.

and he's tired of it. he wants it to end. so he decides to go with a tried and true strategy: going after the weakest link. he knows that's technically peter, but he also knows there's something shady going on with lupin, and don't lupin's "sick mum" visits happen about once a month?

so he consults a lunar chart, and sure enough, the dates line up. now all he has to do is prove it.

unfortunately, lupin is lily's friend as well james and sirius', and going through with this could ruin the one meaningful relationship he has.

but there's no way lily knows, right? if she were to find out, she would certainly turn on lupin anyway.*

and then sirius hands him the key. he could get lupin expelled, and the marauders, too. there's no way they don't know. but instead of being proven right, he almost dies, and james saves his life.

but this does prove one thing at least. sirius is just as bad as him. but somehow, lily doesn't see it this way. she's too caught up trying to defend the evil half breed to see how dangerous the marauders are.

but then the lake incident. the marauders take it too far. snape can't get over this one. and why did lily have to defend him in front of the slytherins?? she knows what they think of her, and she knows they're his friends!*

so he does something unforgiveable. he calls his best friend a slur in front of the whole school. he may have salvaged his relationship with the slytherins, but at what cost? the loss of lily, apparently. at least she also yelled at james. at least he still has that.

when they return for sixth year, the marauders have mysteriously mellowed out. there's hardly any bullying, and they've even slowed down the pranks. it seems like a dream come true, but-

lily still won't talk to him. he tries to apologize to her, but she won't listen to him at all. why can't she see that he knows what's best for her? that she belongs with him? he forgave her for what she did, why can't she forgive him for what he did?*

but then lily starts spending more time with the marauders, even sirius, who tried to kill him! doesn't she realize that she's ruining herself?* this is unforgiveable. but, then, he's never been able to hold anything against her, has he? he still believes he can have her back.*

lily starts dating james, but it's just a phase, it has to be, because how can she even look at that prat? the boy who bullied severus for years, ruined his life, embarassed him, n e v e r l e t u p for six years straight. but - despite himself - he still can't let her go.**

they graduate. james and lily stay together. severus makes the final transition into becoming a death eater now that there's nothing holding him back. he gets the dark mark, because clearly muggles and mudbloods alike don't know what's best for them, but the death eaters are strong and smart, just what he likes.*

he doesn't see lily for a while, but he hears about the marriage and the baby, and he hears about the prophecy. oh, how the dark lord would love to know all about the child who "will one day defeat him", the child of his best friend and former bully. he tells voldemort.

but, oh god, that was a mistake, and what has he done, he's killed lily! except it's not his fault because he was just the messenger - it's not his fault, it's not his fault, she never would've died if she'd just listened to him- ***

the years pass again. he switches sides, and dumbledore believes in him, and that's redemption, right? he's absolved.****

but now he's bitter, and he has no one. why should these children, especially the gryffindors, grow up happy when all he has left are his memories?

then harry potter, who looks so much like awful james, comes to hogwarts, along with more dreadful weasleys, and even worse, neville longbottom, who it could've, should've, been, and hermione granger, who reminds him so much of his dear lily.* and he's not proud of it, or maybe he is, he honestly can't tell at this point, but he takes it out on them. his pain, suffering. he can't help it; he's only human.*

he does save harry's life, and with it, repays a debt. one less thing owed to dead people.

two years later is lupin, whose life has deteriorated even more than snape's, and isn't that just little bit nice, that some justice has been handed out?*

he can handle sirius. sirius has wasted away in prison for 13 years, a shell of his former self. finally, snape has triumphed over those who wronged him.*

the second war progresses. sirius dies. snape celebrates.* dumbledore dies. snape is indifferent. throughout it all, he remains a spy, not because he wants to, but for lily. harry may look like james, but he is still her son.

maybe he goes too far. it's a wonder the students never turned on him.

but then he gets a chance to share his story. not the one everybody knows (or thinks they know), but the real one. so he gives harry his memories. and dies at peace.*****

this was fun! i'm more of an anti-snape person (as you can tell), so this was really interesting to write.

*i just want to make sure that everyone knows i am not condoning these behaviors/feelings/attitudes. they are ableist, sexist, arrogant, and just straight up wrong, but it is a part of snape's character, and that is what i'm analyzing.

**she's already gone bud

***yes it was

****no

*****and gets punched by lily in the afterlife

Lore tells us James alienated himself and Lily from Vernon and Petunia by bragging and flaunting his wealth to Vernon, so it's safe to assume he didn't "grow up" as much as the Marauders stans would have us believe (not defending Vernon but if my first meeting with my sibling's new partner involved them bragging about how rich they are I'd probably not like them all that much).

So I went back and refreshed my memory on this topic so I wouldn't conflate it with fanfiction and read the article, and well, it reads like both parties not being great people and they clashed. This is an excerpt from the article hosted on the Harry Potter website:

The first meeting between Lily, her boyfriend James Potter, and the engaged couple, went badly, and the relationship nose-dived from there. James was amused by Vernon, and made the mistake of showing it. Vernon tried to patronise James, asking what car he drove. James described his racing broom. Vernon supposed out loud that wizards had to live on unemployment benefits. James explained about Gringotts, and the fortune his parents had saved there, in solid gold. Vernon could not tell whether he was being made fun of or not, and grew angry. The evening ended with Vernon and Petunia storming out of the restaurant, while Lily burst into tears and James (a little ashamed of himself) promised to make things up with Vernon at the earliest opportunity.

I'm quite indifferent to the whole interaction, if I'm honest. I dislike both James and Vernon.

Vernon probably moreso as he actually lives to grow into an adult that continues to make poor choices and be outright abusive to his nephew.

However, James died at age 21. He didn't grow up because he didn't have the chance to.

This isn't a slight at you Nonnie, but to anyone who does ever encounter me on Tumblr, I feel I should note that this is a pro-Severus blog. This does not mean it is an anti-James Potter blog.

I have a finite amount of time and energy and I would rather spend it loving my favourite character than spewing vitriol over one I don't. I find it exhausting. 😂

That's not to say you won't see anti-James content on here, because you will. If I see a post that makes me laugh, or I agree with, I will likely reblog it. With perhaps a sarcastic quip to accompany it. However, I don't devote time out of my day to write essays about how much I dislike him, or anyone else for that matter.

Might want to find someone else for that if that's what entertains you.

So listen I know JK Rowling is an absolute dry cunt, and I know that Harry Potter is problematic as fuck but I've been sitting on these theories for a few years now hoping that JK would pull her head out of her ass and she isn't so I'm sharing. If you don't like that fuck off!

This is my hate blog, I have THOUGHTS about Harry Potter and I WILL SHARE THEM. It's not my fault JK Rowling is an infected boil on the ass of humanity.

Okay so the thoughts.

SNAPE was from the North right...like he's quite obviously from a depressed mill town in the North of England, which means his accent would've been northern (if you don't know what that is think Chris Eccleston's Doctor from Doctor Who). Also since Harry's mum and Snape were friends as kids she too would've had a northern accent, and fucking Petunia.

This was a very poor depressed area of England, very working class, and then mills started shutting down in the 60s and 70s meaning a lot of poverty. This is the area of England that birthed the Punk counterculture and the anarchy that came with it.

Also we see from the brief glimpses of Snape's childhood that JK gives us some of this poverty and the trauma and abuse it birthed.

So like realistically Snape could've been a punk!

Also, this opens the mind to the possibility that the reason Lily never viewed Snape as a romantic interest is because he was poor and she, just like her sister, was looking to move up the class ladder a bit which is why she landed on rich boy Potter.

And Potter WAS the rich boy, for American's think of the preppy Lacross captain at your local private school. Just old fucking money and idealism all wrapped up in one douche-tastic package.

Which makes me think like why is he so hell bent on "equal right's" like what do Potter and their wealthy ilk understand of poverty and inequality. Like they're so totally the fake "woke" ass hats right.

So here's the thing.

JK Rowling was poor, but she didn't see herself as a working class person, she saw herself as upper class which means that in her story the rich people are the heroes!

Snape is a poor man, he goes from poverty stricken childhood to educated working class adult (teachers are working class) and he has to have a whole fucked up redemption arc that doesn't really absolve him of his abusiveness.

The Weasleys are the only truly poor people in the story and you get the sense that they're poor simply because Arthur's preferred profession is undervalued and also something that feels vaguely akin to anti Celtic and/or Catholic sterotyping but I can't be sure because I'm American and don't really understand the prejudices or lack their of against red-heads.

anyway someone else can be more thoughtful I'm just rambling but basically I think JK Rowling is a class traitor and a fucking cunt and she wanted to be rich and that fact is VERY apparent from the way she treated the classes in her books. Like she TRIES to make the rich all evil but she can't do it... look at the empathy she builds for the Malfoy's (actually rich) vs the absolute lack there of for Voldemort (born poor).

and this is why you shouldn't just stop reading shit because it's problematic because conversations about class, the aspirations of the author, and it's affect on literature are important to have and we need to dig into this shit and discuss it.

P.S. how cool would it have been if Richard Armitage (who's actually from the North and actually Snape's age) had played Snape...and also what if JK Rowling had written Snape as a punk...that'd have been so cool.

Whenever the drama in fandom happens it is always involving the same urls, the same people like it's the one specific (and toxic) part of the fandom that is the problem. It's unfair to put the blame on all fans that like the character. It's not personally directed at you but whenever these people start some shit there is also a lot of "that's why the fans/the character suck" comments going around.

That’s very true, anon. And we as fans need to understand (if we don’t already) that every fandom has its bad apples and that the actions of a few hateful X fans do not represent the majority of X’s fanbase. Thankfully this particular bunch of rotten fruit is very small, relatively speaking. They’re vocal—and mean, rude, nasty, and just generally unpleasant—which makes them seem bigger than what they actually are, but compared to the fandom as a whole, they occupy just a tiny fraction of cyberspace.

Like the good-for-nothing neighbors at the end of your street whose yard is a burning half-acre of garbage, all we can do is put up stockade fences and close the door in their faces whenever they come knocking with their belligerent, unsolicited complaints about our gardens. (How dare we grow marigolds instead of roses! It’s hypocritical to plant petunias beside daffodils! Fertilizer is an abuser! It’s luturully impossible to be a fan of all three varieties of thunder lilies, the first two lilies are obviously superior to the third! Et cetera et cetera ad nauseum... while the soil of their own yards is too toxic to grow anything.)

Most of us know their URLs; we’ve seen them spewing their poisonous vitriol here and there on Tumblr—some of us have even dealt with them personally—and we’ve blocked them, as we should. This is just fandom in 2020. We’ve got to take the bad with the good… or block the bad so we can enjoy the good.

For the most part, these bad fandom neighbors stay cloistered in their little echo chamber, thriving off of each other’s hatred like a pack of cannibalistic parasites because the only people who have the capacity to put up with their buffoonery are themselves. Vomiting their misguided rhetoric out in broad daylight (i.e., other people’s posts and blogs, like what happened here recently) allows the rest of the fandom to see how awful they are.

But hey, apparently this is how some people do fandom these days. One might think that if being in X or Y fandom caused someone so much personal agony—and unbridled rage directed toward living human beings, over works of fiction—the individual(s) in question might move on to something that does spark joy in their hearts.

▪️ For more about how hatedoms and antis operate in fandom, read this post.

But once again we must remember that this group represents only a small, fanatical portion of the fandom and we should not let it ruin our enjoyment of characters, actors, directors, or the films they are a part of.

I can admire Tom Hiddleston without belittling the other actors he works with. I can be critical of the Thor films without ripping them apart, calling the directors childish names, and actively trying to recruit others to hate the films as much as I do. I can love Loki without being a part of that hateful cult that twists him into an unrecognizable idol to justify their tearing-down of other characters.

No one is going to take away my enjoyment of this franchise or its characters, period. I am here to have fun, make fics and gifs and art, and share them with people who also love them. I will not be coerced into abandoning something I enjoy, none of us should, and I certainly won’t be shamed or made to feel ashamed. The haters and antis certainly aren’t, so why should we?

This is my fandom, too. And their problem with canon is not my problem.

So… drinks!

#ask bender #fandom #toxic fans #fandom wank #hatedoms #antis #thor #thor fandom #fandom bullies #lackeys #fandom cults #positive message #fandom positivity #self care #cultivating your online experience #take out the trash #i recognize that all fandoms have their stupidass elements #and i have elected to ignore them #or at least keep them off my lawn

hey sorry if i'm bothering but um i was wondering if my ask thing went thru if it didn't then um i asked what where the favorite flowers of the JSE ego's and how they would react to seing a flower crown of (favorite flower) on their bedside table and a note saying thank you for being my best friend -(Y/N)

Here you go, dear. Sorry for the long wait but at last I bring ego imagines back to mah blog~! ^w^

…….

Antisepticeye

-Because you know he adores creepy stuff, you made Anti a flower crown made of Black Petunias and left a few thorns in the stems you used.

-When he stumbles into his room, he spots the gift and the note, and is quite shocked.

-You actually made him something? When all he did was speak ill of Jack and harass the other egos??

-He will admit, though, he adores the crown and appreciates the fact that you didn’t make it “cutesy”.

-However, it’s the note itself that really gets him.

-To him, the definition of “friend” is “someone that he’s least likely to stab”.

-But to be considered as your “best friend” is…definitely something else, and it flatters him.

-He wears the flower crown with pride whenever he’s around you, showing off his appreciation.

-If anyone teases him about it, though, they’re threatened with a knife to the throat.

Chase

-Since you know Chase is going through some rough times, you’ve made him a crown out of Snowdrops.

-They represent the hope that darkness will lift and light will return soon to a friend in need, so you were certain it was the perfect flower for him.

-On your note you wrote the meaning of Snowdrops so he understood why you chose that one in particular.

-When he discovers it and reads your message, he just loses it and starts bawling, much to your shock as you could hear him all the way from the living room.

-But when you check up on him, he spins around and brings you into a tight hug and thanks you again and again.

-Usually small gestures of kindness shouldn’t reduce him to a sobbing mess, but it’s been such a shitty day for him and this gift came at the perfect time…when he needed it most.

Marvin

-You made him a crown out of Night Sky Petunias, simply because they looked celestial and you knew the magician was a sucker for bright and shimmering things.

-After finding both that and the note, his heart practically soars.

-The flowers were stunning in every way imaginable, and he feels grateful to be your best friend.

-Even though you’re half-expecting him to somehow make the crown “better”, he doesn’t change its appearance at all.

-You put your heart and soul into making this gift perfect, just for him, and he doesn’t want to take away all your effort.

-It does, however, give him inspiration to look into plant magic and try to grow Night Sky Petunias to have around his room.

Schneeplestein

-For the doctor who’s practically been through hell and back, and yet is still going strong, you made him a white Gladiolus flower crown.

-It is said to symbolize strength of character and faithfulness, along with perseverance.

-Again, you write the meaning behind the flower so he knows.

-When he finds the note and crown laid out on his nightstand, he blushes and starts feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

-He’ll put it on over his medical cap (like the goof he is) and go thank you personally for the gifts.

-He keeps the note on his office desk at all times so whenever he starts having doubts about himself, he can look at it and be reminded that he is strong.

Jackieboy Man

-You wanted to get him a flower crown that really pops, so you decided that it would consist of orange Zinnias.

-They stood for endurance and goodness, two of the many incredible qualities of the superhero.

-When he finds both that, and your note, laying next to his mask on his nightstand, his grin is brighter than the sun’s.

-Although he won’t wear it when he’s out fighting crime (which you were okay with since you didn’t want any crooks to embarrass him), he’ll wear it when he’s out of costume and is going into town with you.

-Even if people tease him for it, he’ll still wear it with pride.

Jameson

-For the sweetest gentleman you’ve ever met, Sweet Peas seemed to be most appropriate for him.

-But just so they fit his “aesthetic” so to speak, you decided to airbrush them a light brown so they’re a sepia color.

-One evening where he’s feeling particularly sad, JJ goes into his room to sulk, but when he goes to put his hat down on the nightstand, he’s surprised at what he finds.

-In the corner of your note, you’ve drawn a cartoon gloved hand showing a thumbs up, a small detailed which he adored immensely.

-Instantly his mood is at 100% and he forgets why he’s sad in the first place.

-After donning the crown he finds you and hugs you tight, signing the words “Thank you so much, my dear best friend!”

Lily is not to blame for the people in her life being pieces of shit, whether or not they use her as an excuse to be so. She doesn’t have to have ~done anything to warrant it — I mean, both Petunia and Snape ended up treating her like trash in the end too. To the best of our apparent knowledge, what she did to piss them off was marry James Potter (at least in Snape’s case — in Petunia’s I suspect the issue was her marrying a wizard period). And considering of the few people we know Lily loved in her pre-married life, James is the only one who didn’t end up actively fucking her over and treating her like crap in the end, that decision hardly comes as a shock.

Y'know, other people’s reactions to Lily Potter (nee Evans) really screwed up a lot of lives. Between Snape’s whole gross entitlement/friend-zone-vengeance deal and Petunia’s my-sister-is-special-so-I-must-immerse-myself-in-mundanity, a lot of kids got abused, particularly Harry. I can’t remember Lily doing anything to warrant such world-twisting focus on her.

Quick introduction to my favorite, ridiculous, super #extra OC, Aaron Finch-Dursley.

Aaron Finch is the Muggle older brother of Justin Finch-Fletchley.

The brothers were really close as kids, though Aaron is two years older. Their parents divorced when the boys were six and four, and their mother was remarried by the next year. Their stepdad Alan Fletchley is a better dad than their own, so much so that he offers his last name to both boys to make it official. Justin, remembering less of their biological dad, adds it to his name. Aaron chooses not to, but still loves him as much as he loves their mom.

Had Aaron attended Hogwarts, he would have been Sorted Hufflepuff before the hat even settled on his head. He’s kind, patient, and fair enough to rival Helga herself.

It takes hard work and patience for Justin to be able to explain everything he experiences at Hogwarts and in the Wizarding World, but he is true, loyal, and unafraid of the toil of writing out long, detailed letters. It’s harder than one might think to contextualize everything about Hogwarts, to convey the scale of the moving staircases, the history and mentality of the House Elves, Dumbledore’s omniscience, the Transfiguration coursework. Understanding it all is hard sometimes even for Justin, who lives it every day, but all the same, it just doesn’t seem fair to keep Aaron out. The only time Aaron ever sees Hogwarts is during Justin’s second year, when the family is allowed to visit him in the hospital wing after he’d been Petrified.

That’s when he suddenly gets it - understands why Justin loves this world so much, and is able to get a clearer picture in his head of what the life of a wizard is even like.

He has a pretty normal Muggle upbringing, though admittedly he does spend it at Eton. He has a close-knit group of friends that he grows up with, and gets on with nearly everyone around him. He never focuses too much on the coursework, it seems secondary anyway. He befriends the friendless, protects the helpless, and somehow seems to remain on good terms with everyone.

When he comes out as gay when he’s sixteen, not one person is surprised, but everyone is as accepting as he could have asked them to be. He takes to dating wizarding boys off from Hogwarts for the summers. Eaton is such a dreadfully small dating pool.

When Justin comes back from his sixth year at Hogwarts, saying that he won’t be able to return the next year because of highly anti-muggleborn sentiments, Aaron is secretly - shamefully - a little bit relieved. It’s gotten more and more dangerous each year, and if the newspaper is to be believed, the ensuing year in full out war would be even worse.

When a letter from a Muggleborn friend of Justin’s warns that members of Dumbledore’s Army are going to be hunted down more viciously than other Muggleborns, Justin decides to move to America rather than go into hiding. He has some friends help him put wards over their family home to keep their parents safe.

Since he’s taking a gap year anyway, Aaron tags along. They get a flat in Boston with a couple of roommates - a set of American twins, one witch and one Muggle - and learn the Muggle and Wizarding area surrounding.

Aaron enrolls in some classes, and does some volunteer work to figure out what he wants to do with the the rest of his life - and ends up settling on an education major. He’s always liked school and thinks sixth form might be ideal to teach - he’ll be able to do some good with kids that age, he decides.

He decides to take his actual credits when they get home. Justin seems to think that the tension is going to break any week now, and he can give his all in the final battle and then return back to normal life and Hogwarts like he never left it.

Eventually, he gets a letter from the Muggleborn kid he was Petrified with - Colin - saying that it’s going to happen in a matter of days. They return home, and Justin goes to fight. Aaron and his mother stay the entire night in the Three Broomsticks, under the care of Madame Rosmerta, with some other Muggles whose loved ones are in danger. It’s the worst night of either of their lives.

But then the war is over, and Justin returns to Hogwarts - to the anxiety of the whole family. Aaron enrolls in university to work towards his teaching degree. Life settles back into what it used to be, even though he still feels stuck in an odd position on the fringes of wizarding society.

One day, during a summer that feels particularly fortuitous with its Muggle and Muggleborn-friendly legislature and new Ministry programs, Justin drags Aaron to a shop in Diagon Alley.

Aaron is a little overwhelmed by all the overt wizardingness of it all. He feels a little like he’s missing pieces he should know in order to exist comfortably in this spaces. “God,” he says to Justin, after nearly knocking over a display. “They shouldn’t let Muggles in here.”

A low slow voice from behind him says, “You wanna say that again?”

He turns. The guy is cute, smiling a little, and wearing a smock that matches the logo on the outside of the store.

Aaron backpedals frantically. “No no no, I mean - I’m not, I was being - I’m a Muggle.”

The guy grins. “Yeah, I know. Me too. I heard you ask how many Knuts to a pound.”

“And I suppose you know? Justin is bloody useless and couldn’t tell me.”

“God, no. I wish we were using pounds. I promise I know less than your boyfriend does,” the guy says, a question in his voice.

“My brother, actually,” Aaron corrects with a smile.

“I’m, uh, Dudley.”

“Aaron.”

They learn each other slowly. Dudley is hesitant to show the parts of himself he’d been hiding since the beginning of the war, hesitant to open up about his past, hesitant to let himself be loved. Aaron, though, is patient. And loyal, when he learns the truth.

They adapt to the two worlds together, living mostly Muggle, although Aaron does help Dudley reconnect with Harry after a few years. It’s rocky, but the fact that Ginny and Aaron become fast friends - and both really want their respective partners to have peace - really helps.

Aaron finishes his degree, and lands a teaching position in a suburb of London. He enjoys his job teaching history and government, and tries to teach his students to view the world with fairness and patience.

Dudley gets a data entry job at a firm partnered with Grunnings.

They rent a little house together, with a garden for Dudley and a huge kitchen for Aaron. Justin, still healing and helping his friends heal, is in and out of their guest room for a number of years, still trying to get back on his wizarding feet and figure out where he fits in the new order of things. When he finally gets a job and his own appartment, Dudley helps Aaron throw a housewarming party for him and some old school friends.

Aaron does most of the household chores, and most of the cooking - some of Dudley’s leftover spoiled child habits spill over into his adult life, after all - but he’s okay with it. It makes him feel in control of his life, quiet and safe and secure.

They have their issues, of course: Dudley has food issues that never quite dissipate, and lots of leftover guilt from his childhood. He has some sort of crisis about every other week about whether he deserves this or that good thing. His testy relationship with his parents and his cousins cause unnecessary tension in their lives. Aaron has unrealistic expectations - he thinks life is beautiful and is very comfortable with his place in it, and gets a little uncomfortable when that belief is shaken. He takes on the problems of his friends and family, too, and doesn’t notice the amount of stress he puts on himself that way until it culminates in him blowing up. They work through these things, though, and they’re happy.

Dudley proposes on the spot one night in their living when Aaron mentions wanting kids during a football match commercial. He hadn’t had a ring or a plan, but it worked out fine. Aaron said yes, and within a year, they were married in a little civil partnership ceremony in the Fletchley’s back garden. Petunia Dursley cried through the whole thing, Vernon Dursley harrumphed uncomfortably at their kiss, but Harry (and his friend Hermione, since Ginny was on off flying for her team) wished them well. As a joke, Aaron throws a bouquet off one of the tables. Justin’s friend Hannah catches it, and her date’s face turns crimson, making Aaron smile proudly.

Their surrogate, Jessica, is a dream, and Aaron’s life changes forever the first time he holds little Myna Jean Dursley in his arms. He cannot imagine, in that moment, ever doing anything besides that, besides holding his daughter and watching her breathe. The feeling isn’t any less strong a year and a half later when he holds Rhea for the first time, although he’s wiser now, and knows the road he has ahead of him.

Fatherhood suits him quite nicely, him and Dudley both, and their little family is just about as happy as can be.

There more to him, of course, and I’m probably going to start mentioning him on this blog fairly regularly, but I’ll link back to this post so people don’t think they’ve forgotten about a canon character, haha. If you’re wondering about a visual, Ross Marquand is a great face-cast.

léo !!!! congrats on 500 u sweet angel!!!! u deserve many more (and i love ur new url sm??? omg), i don't know if u are still celebrating but if u are: ★ + remus lupin, but if u are not that's okay, hope u are doing lovely 💫💛

@auroremus. aish, bruna, you are too sweet to me what did i do to deserve you ?? ofc i am still celebrating for you. i went a little overboard with yours... mostly because ilysm. i hope it’s accurate.

★ + your favorite hp character for a hogwarts blog rate

house. gryffindor | slytherin | hufflepuff | ravenclaw (the love of books makes sense)

pet. none | owl | rat | cat (i just imagine you cuddling a precious kitten because you are also precious and i think precious things go together... if not then i will lend you my kitten to cuddle she’s a big floof) | toad | something illegal that would be in newt’s briefcase

class position. student | prefect | head boy/girl

worst core class. astronomy | transfiguration | charms | potions (books can’t save you in potions when the books are wrong. tbh i would have flipped in snape’s class because i love potions but ?? i cannot fcking do it and i’m following the instructions asshole help) | defense against the dark arts | history of magic | herbology

elective(s). arithmancy | muggle studies | divination | ancient runes | care of magical creatures

reason for detention(s). surprisingly enough, considering how good your grades are, detention is familiar territory for you -- it comes with being friends with sirius and dating remus, i suppose. however, this time you received detention for something completely unrelated to them: in a protest against the anti-”mudblood” purists, you let lily evans help you draw out a scene of muggles and wizards getting along, and then you snuck out of your common room at night and painted it on one of the walls in the main entrance. you weren’t caught doing it, but the professors recognized your art technique.

friend squad. sirius black and james potter (to make you laugh when you are having troubles with anxiety, and support in quidditch), peter pettigrew (i want to think he reads quite a bit with remus and you guys could talk about books when you feel like you need someone quieter to hang around with), lily evans (strong girl pride for the win right), petunia evans (i know she has her whole thing against witches but i think you are nice enough to get along with young petunia, especially if you knew her and lily before they knew about the wizarding world - let’s go back to the precious lily and petunia before the rift), narcissa black (i imagine she would have been relatively nice in schoo - i like seeing her as someone who is nicel), andromeda black, edward tonks, minerva mcgonagall

significant other. remus lupin (you love him so much who else could this possibly be? besides, i think he would like you - based off of what i know from talking to you) | mary macdonald (another sweetheart tbh)

associated light spell. expecto patronum | protego | lumos | episkey | accio

associated dark curse. crucio | imperio | avada kedavra

NO MORE PLEASE.

(blacklist #things for 500 friends if you don’t want to see posts)
