Hi!
My family is going through some tough times, so I'm trying my hand at opening a little online store! It's called the Green Heart Society, and right now I'm selling art prints, but eventually I also want to get into selling accessories or clothing. I would really appreciate it if you spread this post around, visit, or share the shop.
Thanks!
The official website and shop of the Green Heart Society. Find the latest content, buy merch, and support your favorite creator. Percentage
The Snape Family.

A Backup for my other page, dedicated to my own fanworks :3
I made a second blog to try and keep everything better organized in terms of my fanworks, so head on over if you’re interested :3
The beautiful Eileen Prince
Eileen was a pure-blood witch. A Slytherin. In her fifth year, she was captain of the Gobstones team and the mother of Severus Snape.
Knowing a bit about her story, I can’t help but feel sorry for how she might have ended up. I don’t understand what could have led her, being part of the Prince family, to leave it all behind for Tobias Snape. Love, I suppose.
I don’t want to see her as a complete victim, but I can’t help feeling pity. Eileen was not an important figure in Severus’s life, and that says a lot. Knowing how little affection he showed, the fact that he never mentioned her seems very telling of his relationship with his parents.
In my opinion (and in my headcanon)Eileen wasn’t a present figure for her son. I like the headcanons that portray her protecting him from Tobias, but I don’t think that was entirely possible. Perhaps she wasn’t like her husband, but she also wasn’t someone Severus cared for… or loved.
She was probably just as neglectful, or simply someone who chose to ignore her own child’s existence.
Mother snakes rarely care for their young.
finally, it has appeared on my dash
finally, when we least expected it.
Wasn’t expecting this
I’m sorry I know this is normally just an art and rambling blog you didn’t honestly expect me to pass up reblogging The Spanish Inquisition did you? Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
This post is 13 years old, let that sink in
i couldn’t let that sink in because I would have to expect seeing it.
and-
and nobody-
and nobody expects-
*jumps into frame* “NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!”

It’s Tobias! I’ll try drawing Eileen and Severus, but no guarantees on posting those. I’m posting this one now before I can think too hard about it!
Not a perfect drawing, but one I’m very proud of and will probably never be able to recreate lol.
On the pencil sketch you can see some details more clearly, like the chin stubble I gave him!
Also, I’m a sucker for people who head-canon Tobias as being a blondie or (in my case) a red head. Auburn counts as red, right?
I don’t think I’ve ever written it down in a fic or WIP, but I love the idea of Severus+Eileen dying and straightening his (Severus’) hair to look more like Eileen instead of Tobias.
I’ve also tried to draw him before, so this could probably be him in the 1950’s (?)
I headcanon that Tobias and Eileen probably got married between 1948-1952, when Eileen would’ve been 18-22. Since, as far as I know, there’s no canon birth year for Tobias, I headcanon he was born in 1928.
I have a lot of feelings about this man and his family lmao.

Farewell online privacy
What happened?
Trump happened.
just get a VPN?
You can’t just tell people to ‘get a VPN (Virtual Private Network)’. Buying a VPN is like buying a house. It’s very very important. Having no VPN or having a ‘wrong’ one can seriously damage your life. Especially for Americans because their privacy laws are garbage. I am going to try explain why you should get a VPN but bare with me, I am from Germany and my English is far from perfect.
Let’s start with a simple test. Click this link here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ It will tell your IP adres, your ISP (internet service provider), and your location. The location might not be very accurate, but then again, it’s just a simple website. Imagine what the government can do!
So basically, everyone can find out where you live. But there is more danger. Your ISP. Your ISP logs your every move online and they are required to keep it in case the government wants access to it (or if a 3rd party wants to buy your data (yikes). They have everything. What websites you visit. How long you stay on a website. What you download. Your search terms. European laws are more subtle on this but if you are from the US you are #@*#&, especially because Trump doesn’t support the open internet. It’s scary but maybe in the future you can’t get a job because the recruiter knows your searched on ‘how to deal with depression’ or anythings else that’s supposed to be private because it’s your f*cking right. Or you get a $100k fine because you pirated a movie 15 years ago. You need a VPN. You’re dumb for not using one. but what does a VPN do?
A VPN encrypts all your data so if it were be intercepted no one can ‘crack the code’ and damage your privacy.
Usually being online goes like this (simplified): Your computer —-> ISP (—–> keeps data —–> sells it)
But with a VPN it goes like: Your computer —–> VPN (encrypts data)—–> ISP (ISP can’t see shit)
Furthermore, a VPN hides your IP address and location by giving you another IP address located in Spain for example (you can often choose from a list and change as many times as you want).
Now that you know why you should get a VPN and what is does it is important to educate yourself because people often choose the wrong VPN. VPN providers are also businesses and have to obey the law. If you choose a VPN provider located in the US then you are throwing your money away because the laws in the US shits on your privacy. If the US gov wants the provider to give all their logs they have to obey. The ISP still can’t see what you are doing online and sell your data but the US gov can interfere with your VPN provider so NEVER CHOOSE A PROVIDER LOCATED IN THE US.
I just wanted to make that very clear so my followers don’t buy false security.
There is still more danger! Who says your VPN provider isn’t selling your data? You need to check their logging policy. Do they keep logs? If yes, what for? For how long do they keep them? Tip: Choose a provider who doesn’t keep logs
More about law The US is part of the Five Eyes program (the worst):
The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are bound by the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence (source)
There is also a Nine Eyes (bit better) and Fourteen Eyes Program (better). You don’t want a VPN provider who is located in one the Five Eyes countries. If you had to choose go for a provider located in a country that’s part of the Fourteen Eyes Program or even better, go for a country that isn’t part of any program!
I know this is a shitty explanation and please pardon my english but now it’s time to do your own research. Take your privacy seriously. Maybe WWIII breaks out and you get killed for liking the ‘wrong’ FB-page.
Go to this website: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/simple-vpn-comparison-chart/
Make sure that your future VPN provider both has green boxes for Privacy Jurisdiction and Privacy Logging.
I recommend ovpn.se and trust.zone. ovpn is located in Sweden so they are part of the 14 Eyes Program and they keep minimal logs. Their business ethics, however, are alright.
Trustzone is located in the Seychelles. No country can interfere and their privacy jurisdiction is the best you can get. The US want your data but needs to get it from Trustzone? The Seychelles will simply give them the finger and wave them goodbye. However, this makes this provider very appealing for people who torrent and criminals because they keep no logs (and that is how it shoud be) Also, there are almost no marketing efforts so this provider is one the cheapest)
Also, often providers such as ExpressVPN are being called ‘The Best’ on websites about VPNs but know that this is just marketing which also makes those provider more expensive (and they too shit on your privacy)
This must be the worst article you have ever read but please, please take your privacy very seriously.
EDIT: I got many people asking me which provider I use. For those who want to know, I use Trust Zone. They offer a free 3-day trial with no strings attached. But still do your own research!
I am also with Trustzone but I think you forgot to explain one of it’s most important features. It protects you when you are using someone else’s Wi-Fi. If you are at Starbucks and you use their Wi-Fi your privacy is at risk. Anyone with ill intentions could steal your information. Especially if you are using an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. With a VPN your data gets encrypted so no one can steal it.
Wait, what’s going, on? Did trump destroy internet privacy with a bill or something? Where’s the news? Oh wait, why am I getting visions of Alex Jones and selling water purifiers?
He hasn’t yet but he says he wants to. And if he is serious about it it would be really easy to do. Since all our data is already recorded, as the person above explained.
Trump wants more surveillance of Muslim Americans. This in a country where internet privacy is already close to non-existent.
Trust.Zone has a free trial. Use it.
btw this post only has 11k notes? That’s quite disappointing for something this important.
Don’t reblog this post to save a life. Reblog this to protect an entire family!
@earth-ruins @writing-prompt-s Should I get trustzone for my mobile device?
If you use public Wi-Fi, then yes. Which VPN you use is up to you, amigo. Take @earth-ruins advice. Do your own research first.
@elvesfromthedeep just brought the current situation in the US to my attention (March 30, 2017).

Anger as US internet privacy law scrapped
Congress just voted to let internet providers sell your browsing history
To all my friends in the US, please read this entire post. Making everyone aware of VPNs is going to be my mission. Your privacy matters. Please reblog this post.
Don’t tell me you just wanted to scroll past this. Stop looking at pictures of cats for a moment, okay? Don’t you realize how important this is? This is dangerous! ‘America, the best FREE country in the world’ my ass.
With this new law your ISP can sell your Internet history which could include passwords, usernames, religion, credit card numbers, race and much more to the highest bidder. So here is what I want you to do. You are going to read the whole thing and before you think ’this is so important. Let me reblog this real quick and go back to admiring cats again-’ NO! Don’t reblog this. Take action first. Then reblog. Sign up for a free trial! Trust.Zone offers one (here). Yes. It might be difficult to set up a VPN for some people. But is that going to stop you from protecting yourself and your family? 30 minutes. 30 minutes is all that it takes. 5 if you know how to install software. The problem with some of you is that you see ‘difficult’ as something negative. I want you to see difficult differently. I need you to push through this stuff. You are going to protect yourself. There is nothing negative about that. VPNs are fun and costsaving too! A VPN bypasses geographical restrictions so you can access websites you normally can’t or you could start Netflix’s one month free trial over and over again- forever. And it’s legal! (unless you use it to buy weapons etc.,) Don’t tell yourself that you are too tired and that you will do this tomorrow. Because that isn’t going to happen and you know it. You have to do this right now. You only have to click on it. Don’t let this/shit/life just happen to you. Take yourself seriously. Get a VPN.
Privacy is not a privilege, it’s a fundamental human right
Hey is thatoneprivacysite still good? The link works and it does take me to an article about vpns, but it just looks like an ad for expressvpn with extra steps.
No they switched to https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/#simple-vpn-comparison a couple years ago
Welcome to the VPN Comparison! This section is meant to be a resource to those who value their privacy, specifical...
I had Trust.Zone when this post first started making the rounds on Tumblr and I forgot about it after Biden took office. I recently sent them an email asking why my subscription wasn’t automatically renewed and why their website hasn’t changed since 2017(?). Their answer:
Shady people, good people, this company only cares about privacy and doesn’t care who it serves. But now with Trump and Musk this is the only VPN I’ll use.
I understand some people might not want to use this VPN on moral grounds, but it’s genuinely one of the very few VPNs set up in a way that no authority can touch you. ExpressVPN and other ‘popular’ options operate in jurisdictions favorable for profits but their privacy is just a band-aid our government can easily rip off if it demands information. I’m a trans man, I’m afraid of our government, and at this point, I simply don’t care anymore.
For a second I was like noooooo, not this long post again! Haven’t seen it in years and I always thought it was a bit extreme and exaggerated. Now that we are in 2025, I am like, nahh, these people knew what they were talking about all along. First time I am reblogging this.
Also I don’t think anyone has said this yet but the free trial only requires an email address. No credit card details or anything. Refreshing.
Could someone please put the link to the free trial here? I don’t want to scroll back up 10 miles. Thank you.
here you go @foxbridgeni
Trust.Zone Free Trial
The argument against VPNs has always been, “but I have nothing to hide.” Now that an unpredictable lunatic is in charge, purging based on whatever whim strikes him, that sentiment is quickly fading. VPNs aren’t just about hiding personal secrets; they’re about protecting freedom, autonomy, and your basic right to live without unjust scrutiny or arbitrary persecution.
Reblogging again bc this is important
”I love my son/daughter.” I, a teenager, say about a fictional character at least 10 to 20 years older than me
Snape’s demise
A reference post for the people living rent free in my head.
Damaris is the original character and protagonist of a story I’m writing (Octavius’ home universe/story). Their character was inspired by Severus, Empress Alexandra, and Princess Diana. This art makes her look darker than I imagine her, but she looks cute so I don’t care.
They originated from an industrial province in their home country and grew up working in a textile mill. In reference to the real world, they were born on January 14, 1875. They have an older brother named Faris. They are intersex, demisexual, and roughly 6’0” tall.
I use “they” when writing about Damaris here for reader clarity. She throughout book goes by she/her. If I wanted to be accurate to how she would feel, I’d have write her name in the place of any pronouns used to reference her.
For example: Damaris sat Damaris’ satchel bag on the bench, reaching a long arm upwards, pale fingers outstretched to retrieve the sweet red reward Damaris craved from the branches of the tree.
Damaris was technically raised female, but was isolated on the condition of not being strictly a “complete woman” and alternatively having the men in her life not want to invade her “feminine privacy”.
For people interested in learning about how she is intersex, she has atypical genitalia. I’ll probably make another post on this at somepoint.
In reference to herself, Damaris does not view herself as female or male. She considers herself a tertiary being. Being called non-binary would be applicable, but it wouldn’t be a label she would use (if that makes sense).
Although she doesn’t mind being referred to as she/her, and generally prefers it, she doesn’t view herself as being anything in particular. “They/them” is the closet approximation I can explain. Damaris considers Damaris to be an experience. Nothing and Everything all at once.
Everyone knows Severus lol.
Octavius is technically two separate characters when looking at when I write my story vs writing fanfics, but still the same one character if it makes sense. In his canonical universe, he’s the crown prince of an empire, born on May 27, 1873. I do have art of him in a military uniform, but I want to save that for when more progress is made on the book.
Octavius is bisexual.
Octavius is the second shortest one in his family, and is shorter than both Damaris and Severus, standing at 5’8” (almost 5’9”, but not quite). His mom is the shortest, only 5’4”.
In my fanfic verse, he was born in 1958 (same day).
Octavius in my Severus Fics is a 7th year Pukwudgie, but also could’ve ended up in the Thunderbird house. In transfer student/exchange based fics, he would be sorted into Hufflepuff.
He is a Pureblood, with B+ blood type.
His wand is made out of Pear Wood, a Unicorn Hair core, Supple flexibility, and 12 1/2” length, with spiraling curls on the “handle” end.
His original appearance in a fic, he was supposed to be introduced through a pen pal program between Wizarding Schools, and is a cousin to James Potter. Technically, he is a French descent and closer related to the Blacks and Malfoys in blood, but prefers his familial relationship with Potters. I did toy with him being descended from Marie Antoinette, but decided that was a little bit too much.
Due to his albinism, he is white passing. He is not white, and will be offended if people tried to correct him and call him as such.
He is not entirely albino, he is technically strawberry blond, and is biracial with a French American father and an African American mother, having roots in Louisiana, Alabama, and New York).
His father and mother own an extremely lucrative jewellery brand. Sometimes his backstory fluctuates in my mind, and there has been an idea of having him related to Harry Winston.
In his canonical universe, his father is simply pale skinned while his mother is Princess from a separate country.
In his home universe/story: He and his mother have a citrus allergy, and his father cultured a new type of citrus so that they could enjoy citrus flavored things. For reference, his mother developed a citrus allergy when pregnant, but grew up loving citrus fruit.
Husband and wife:
I’m writing a new fic I guess.
I’d like to imagine that Tobias and Eileen were in love once, maybe still loved each other in a way. Might have loved their son. A surprising turn of events forces Tobias to steer himself back on track.
A.K.A: Tobias gets Mary-sued lmao, and Eileen is apparently stranded in a desert. This is actually a prequel (?).
My sketch pad line art got blown out on their faces for the sketch, but I fixed it when I added colors :)
I’m never going to have a consistent art quality or style lol
I using a sketchbook to draw little pictures of all my comfort characters! You can probably guess who was first.

Thought I should make a separate post regarding this debate too.
"Do you think AO3 should ban AI generated works?"
Well, in theory, it may sound ideal. But in reality? No.
I am not a fan of AI, but "do you think AO3 should ban" never actually solves a problem. Because how can you tell what's AI and what's human made? It is extremely hard to tell, and going around accusing authors of using AI — just because you suspect they do — does more harm than good. Chances are that you're accusing real writer of being AI and ruining their day at best, making them quit writing at worst.
And the act of banning never stops something from existing. It only makes it more difficult to find or avoid. Tumblr bans porn, but you can still find porn on Tumblr. The only difference is that they're no longer tagged as porn, which means you're more likely to stumble upon them because blocking the tags no longer works when they are not tagged as porn.
The same applies to AI generated works on AO3. For now they are tagged as "AI generated". You can avoid them if you don't want them.
Once they're banned, people will no longer tag them as AI, which means you have more chance of unknowingly reading and leaving kudos on AI.
Also, no, unless an author says "this was written by AI" you cannot tell for sure if something was written by AI. Em dashes aren't evidence of AI. Long and overly described paragraphs aren't evidence of AI. Real human writers do write like this and AI was trained to mimic real humans' works.
If AO3 bans AI, you will be dealing with witch-hunting, genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using AI left and right, and AI works no longer being tagged as AI (meaning they are almost impossible to spot and avoid)
"this fic uses em dashes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans use em dashes.
"this fic has long paragraphs with overly described details and scenes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans can write like this.
"this fic has inconsistencies, so it must be ai-generated" real humans make errors and mistakes. that's why we have this thing called plot holes. sometimes writers are tired and they don't remember what they wrote in the last sentences or paragraphs, let alone chapters.
"this fic sounds robotic and unnatural, so it must be ai-generated" not every writer writes in their native language. sometimes they can sound 'robotic and unnatural' if they wrote in their second or third or fourth language (and kudos to them).
"this fic has a prompt left in it that the author forgot to delete, so it must be ai-generated" the 'prompt' the author accidentally left in their fic could actually be a part of an outline that was meant only for them, so they could keep track of what they would write.
"this author posts too often, no human writes this fast, so they must use ai" 1.) you don't know how fast someone can or can't write, how much time a person has in a day or how motivated/skilled they are. 2.) the frequent updates you see could be something that has already been finished and sitting in the author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted doesn't always mean it's recently written.
my point? no, you can never know if a fanfic is 'ai-generated'. unless the author says they use ai, you're just assuming, suspecting and witch hunting. chances are that you're not going to 'stop ai fics from being created', you're just going to wrongly accuse genuine writers of using ai and ruin their day at best, make them want to quit writing or sharing their works at worst.
