[severus-snaps]

The number of comments on a tiktok post listing passages from Snape's Worst Memory asking "Is this canon? Is this from a fanfic? Is it fanmade? Where is this from?" is just wild to me

Like sure I don't perhaps expect everyone in the world to be able to remember the Snape-centric passages as if they're religious texts but I feel like people only want to query its veracity when it's Snape having a moment that elicits sympathy and explains his more than understandable dislike of the Marauders

Other people: Why would I care about him?

Snapedom: BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT HIM. MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT WE CARE ABOUT HIM...

the tiktok marauders fans opinion on snape completely rocketed snape hate to a new height. as a fan who is on both and has been on tumblr much much longer. I have never seen worse hate, and I used to get death threats over snape here on my old account.

it's genuinely scary to see this part of fandom delve into purity culture and hypocrisy. seeing the lengths people are willing to go to 'redeem' regulus black, evan rosier or any other death eater is surreal. but snape is where the line if drawn, he is the devil.

like I have maybe a solid 10 other editors I know who like snape and nothing else, midst the thousands of marauder fans completely making up nonsensical things about snape to make him the bad guy.

like seeing someone defend alecto carrow then turn around and say that snape frequently called lily a mudblood and list fanon headcanons about him is almost unbelievable. to the point where I will be sitting there going, "this is a joke, this cannot be serious".

being called an abuse apologist, a pedophile, and many many other things for simply liking a character genuinely hurts. it hurts to realize that these people commenting and saying hurtful things somehow don't realize that you are a person with feeling who can be hurt by words.

here at least you can curate you experience, tiktok is the wild west, and hate is well known.

tldr: snape hate has increased due to tiktok and the way the fans interact with fandom

I have a question…

Snaters like to say we “defend death eaters” but the only one we break back for is Severus…

I’m telling you rn, if you ask me why I like Lucius, I’m not gonna write a 12k essay about how misunderstood he is…imma just say “he’s snarky, fabulous, and fine as hell”

🤷🏽

So wtf are they talking about?💀

Severus: if you’re a parent don’t leave your kids near me

Avery: …?!?!??

Bruce: …what?

Wilkes: …um

Severus: STOP! I meant like! I’m gonna teach them bad words! Not- shut up!

Do you think that if Severus was a standard looking and very handsome character, he would be much more loved by the HP fandom?

I started to reflect on this after seeing people comment that they love Tom Riddle...but he is evil in person! His only good characteristic is be beautiful!

Another point is to see that on the internet people like (romanticize) characters who are jealous, possessive, with childish attitudes, sarcasm and obsession. Severus has these traits, both with Lily and with the students he bullied, but why do some fans (mainly on TikTok) not "defend" Snape as much as they defend other characters with the sames characteristics he has except the physical appearance?

Frankly, I don't share the whole "Snape needs more love" sentiment because the Snapedom has plenty of love to spare. He doesn't need more love from HP fandom.

Tom Riddle fans must also see something else in him other than beauty. I'll leave that one for Riddle fans.

I will steer away from your question now, but it still relates somehow. If anyone really understood the "Harry Potter" series they know that if it weren't for Severus Snape, the whole story would have started and ended differently. What would have happened if Snape hadn't told Voldemort about the prophecy? No boy-who-lived. Just Voldemort taking over the world at an alarming speed.

You don't have to love Snape, simply accept the fact that he had a crucial complex role in the story.

We defend this man with everything we've got. We've been doing it for decades. But we've been doing it when the conversation and the discussion is worth it. Why get riled up when the original post is made with contempt and complete disregard for the canon? Somedays you have to choose your battles.

"Severus made some bad choices and got the Potters killed" - yes - but he is not searching for absolution. He knows that his past acts had consequences.

The beauty of Severus Snape's fans is that we accept his flaws. We know he is a deeply flawed character, but his redemption arc is tremendous evidence of what truly motivates us in this life. Love.

I've been thinking about making a tiktok account just to defend snape, like, an account full of snape videos, responding to m-raud-rs stans arguments (and maybe some activism here and there) so you can tag idiots when pro-snape people have debates and such, but im not sure. what do you think snapedom? it will be usefull?

He’s a 10 but he thinks he’s a zero

Malaki4vn on TikTok's amazing Snape and Sirius analysis:

1. both grew up in abusive households

2. both have one person they love and trust above anyone else - lily and james

3. both are responsible to a certain degree for lily and james deaths - snape told voldemort the prophecy, and sirius convinced james to switch the secret keeper from being him to peter pettigrew because who would believe a wimpy man like him?

4. mirrored narrative arcs - both feel responsible for the deaths of lily and james and live a life filled with guilt so they're both stuck, forever 21 which speaks to both of their immaturity.

5. neither got to live a proper life post halloween 1982 - sirius is physically and mentally locked in a prison of azkaban and his worst thoughts, snape is also locked into mental anguish through his guilt, indebeted to dumbledore and voldemort as a double agent and made to live is guilt over and over

6. they both have the same motive in PoA - to find the traitor.

7. sirius is a stand in for james for harry. james and sirius are very similar - even lupin says that harry is destined to hate snape because he 'inherited an old prejudice' from james and sirius. both of their images are tainted at the exact same time in 'snape's worst memory'.

8. most interesting take - sirius acts as a james stand as a selfless father figure', and snape as lily - guarding him from a distance and ultimately shielding harry and being a sacrifice. a silent guardian if you will.

9. snape and lily have the same patronus. it is not coincidence that when harry sees snape properly, he sees his mother properly.

10. like james, sirius dies first, trying to impulsively protect harry

11. snape lasts longer and is able to protect harry more effectively.

12. anape and lily in their last acts perform something that will ultimately empower Harry to defeat Voldemort.

an amazing analysis in my opinion!

a burned out late teenager with self-image problems taught to be independent reads for the first time a series of books about magic, and they're falling hard over the morally dubious and very ambitious Potions Master with a terrible past but pure and honest intentions (no one can interfere, it's canon)

i’ve just seen someone on tiktok using the “this is the hill i’ll die on” meme to state that boring discourse that snape would be voldemort’s right-hand man if lily hadn’t died and i’m like

girl, considering he betrayed voldemort and committed his life to dumbledore’s service around one year before she died.,.... i’d say your hill is pretty flat

Made a TikTok for Snapetober with Alan's voice 👀🦇🎃🍁

Please I can’t stop laughing at this

[moonlightdancer26]

A side effect from being in the Snapedom is forgetting that it’s homosapien and not homosnapien.
