I really am endlessly sad that Snape bullied those kids. I mean, this man is such a compelling character. A double agent, a yearner, an incredibly talented wizard. and yet, whenever I find myself starting to care about him, one of those scenes pops into my head where he's just relentlessly bullying children for no apparent reason. Like sure, how interesting that this man has such a capacity for hate and an equally large capacity for love. How sad that this insecure young boy felt so rejected by the world that he let himself get swept up in a violent cult. He's always sheming or manipulating someone, how cool, you just never know what he's really up to! But then, why the fuck did he feel the need to say that shit to Hermoine? I'm completely fine with morally grey behavior, a fan of it, even. But that is just loser shit, I don't know what else to make of it. Are there any severus stans who have figured out how to look at this in a way that doesn't make him a pathetic asshole? If so lmk, because I wan't to be able to care about Severus Snape. (Also any severus centric fic recs would be much appreciated)

who'd want to be men of the people? (when there's people like you.)

He stood frozen there for some time. Firmly rooted to his place with his lighter tightly clenched in his fist along with the letter. What had disturbed him most about this encounter was not what he had been witnessed doing. Burning a piece of paper could be a perfectly innocent activity.

It wasn’t in this case, but it could have been.

It was far more the look on his spectators face. Those eyebrows twisted with concern, that upper lip curled up in disgust and finally those venom green eyes staring and staring. Seeming to pierce through to Tom’s very soul and seeing the mildew ridden black thing that loomed in it’s place.

or: Tom Riddle is a Scholarship student at the prestigious Hogwarts senior private school. He has worked tirelessly on his scrupulous image and his influence here, so why does the seemingly ordinary boy he's tutoring see straight through him?

Hi guys, I just wrote my very first Tomarry fic over on AO3. I would love it if you checked it out I've attached the link here!
