Tips for Writing Accents & Languages!
As someone who grew up bilingual and has spent years watching fiction handle this with the grace of a person trying to parallel park a cruise ship: please. i am asking nicely. stop phonetically spelling out accents in dialogue. stop having your multilingual character "think in english." and stop treating languages as cute flavour when they're actually load-bearing walls. let me explain:
⊹ Phonetic accent spelling-- "ze said zis," "I canna doo eet," "ees very 'ot"--does not convey an accent. it conveys that you find the accent hard to read and mildly comedic. actual accents are not misspellings. they are specific music, rhythm, stress patterns, vowel shapes that cannot be represented in text that way. what conveys accent is word order, idiom, the things a speaker reaches for. A character who says "it doesn't matter, leave it" and a character who says "never mind, let it go" are from different places. use that. not the apostrophes.
⊹ Multilingual people do not experience their languages as separate filing cabinets they access one at a time. languages blur and overlap and interfere with each other in beautiful ways. When you're tired you reach for the word from the other language because it's closer. when you're emotional you revert to your first language because it's where your feelings actually live. when you're angry you swear in the language you learned swearing in. when you're tender you use the diminutives and endearments that don't translate. your bilingual character's language choice in every scene is characterisation. use it as such.
⊹ the thing about not having a word for something is real and it matters. Every language has concepts the others can't carry cleanly. the grief for something you never had. the specific quality of afternoon light. the feeling of wanting to be home while you're already there. when your character encounters something their language doesn't have a word for, they don't just find a workaround, they feel the gap. they feel slightly untranslatable. multilingual people live with the knowledge that some part of who they are exists only in one language and cannot be fully brought across.
⊹ Language loss is grief and almost no one writes it. immigrants who stop speaking their first language regularly lose fluency within a generation, not the language itself but the ease of it, the poetry of it, the ability to joke in it. your character might understand everything their grandmother says and be unable to reply with the same grace. they reach for a word and find a hole. they dream in a language they can no longer speak fluently while awake. the untended first language going quiet is a whole kind of mourning and fiction almost never touches it.

Do you have any jealous snape headcannons?
This reminds me of when I stopped reading a fic because Severus didn’t get jealous about anything and seemed completely unaffected, and it felt like the most fake and unbelievable characterization ever. I was like, nope, I don’t buy it, because:
Severus is extremely insecure. First of all, he’s spent his whole life feeling bad about himself, so he tends to think he’s a terrible person who isn’t lovable. On top of that, he’s spent half his life being told he’s ugly, that he has a huge nose, greasy hair, etc. So if you combine low self-esteem in terms of self-worth with low self-esteem in terms of appearance, you get someone who probably doesn’t believe they can truly be loved by anyone. For a hookup? Sure, why not. But for someone to genuinely be attracted to him? Probably not.
That level of low self-esteem comes with huge insecurity when a third party appears, so rather than jealousy per se, it’s intense insecurity. The idea that at any moment someone better than him could show up (because he probably thinks that wouldn’t be hard), and the other person will realize they’re with someone who isn’t worth much and leave him.
He’s not someone who would externalize it at first, because one of his big but fascinating contradictions is that he has very low self-worth but is also incredibly proud. He probably thinks jealousy is childish and a sign of weakness, so he’ll bottle it up as much as he can.
At first, he might not even realize it’s jealousy, because he lives in a kind of delusion where he denies his own emotions, so he just feels terribly irritated and finds the person he’s jealous of extremely annoying for no clear reason.
He’d be extremely rude to the person he sees as a threat, rude to the point where you’d want to slap him to shut him up.
He’d probably also be quite sarcastic with his S/O for no reason, because he has zero ability to manage his insecurity, high irritation levels, and no internal reflection about what’s actually going on with him.
He’s not pathologically jealous per se. If, for example, he knows the person is just a close friend of his S/O, he’d calm down quite a bit. But if he doesn’t understand the situation, that’s when he gets deeply triggered.
The more trust there is, the less jealous he becomes, although he still needs quite a bit of reassurance in certain situations to feel secure, even in an established relationship.
He’s not the type to make a scene, but he’s definitely not going to pretend everything is fine either
He will never admit in his life that he’s jealous: not publicly, not privately, not even to himself. That kind of thing doesn’t happen to him, for God’s sake.
the idea that remus lupin has the best record collection in gryffindor tower has gone too far and i'll stand for the lily evans erasure no longer!!! it's lily who's got the music!!! it's the outspoken muggle-born who brings The Good Shit to hogwarts, not the unassuming secret werewolf who probably does not want to advertise that his mum is muggle at risk of drawing even more attention to himself. remus wants to assimilate, and it's lily who's comfortable standing out.
My man's only friends his entire young life were his Mum and Dad. He didn't go out. He didn't have friends. He didn't do shit. They were poor and had to move house often, keeping them poor.
Then he went to Hogwarts, and made friends with two Purebloods. And Peter - who also aligns his interests to his friends even harder.
His music taste is going to be shaped by old things his parents like, or the music his Pureblood friends liked - if they like music at all.
Lily? Lily has a teenage Muggle sister. Lily went to a muggle school and likely had muggle friends. Her family has money to spend on things.

STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!!
Hermione sees a drawing of a girl on Snape’s desk and says she looks like Harry. Little does she know, it was a drawing of Lily.
Inspired by a pair of siblings I saw who looked nothing alike from the front, but had almost the exact same side profile. (Unimportant, but the brother had black hair and the sister had dark red hair, like Harry and Lily. Ironically, the man actually resembled Snape more than anyone else).
Severus Snape
How do you think teenage Snape acted when someone approached him with friendly intentions or asked him something? Do you think he tried to be nice (and failed), or did he just respond straight away with sarcasm and a frown?
I genuinely think that teenage Snape was considerably softer than his adult self. Probably quite nervous and not the most socially skilled, but I don’t think he was as defensive and closed off as he later became. Perhaps initially distrustful and cynical, but more open to opportunities. So maybe he would start off a bit guarded, but if he liked someone, I don’t see why he wouldn’t give them a chance—after all, at that age he was looking for a sense of belonging.
love when fictional men are so devoted to their partner it makes them dangerous and insane. very slutty behavior keep it up king
