If you support Israel and its ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing, or if you downplay, deflect, or deny the genocide of Palestinians, I want you off my blog. Unfollow me. Block me. I don’t care how long you’ve been here or how much you love Snape. This space is not for you.

If we're gonna make a Lily hate post, let's at least spell her name right 🤗
Happy belated birthday Snape!
Night, Fireflies and You
Albus Severus Potter has Snape's name and Lily's eyes. Snily leaving its mark.
Little sister of mine
I love their friendship very much
People can handle evil characters(for the most part--usually they twist their behavior and water it down) but people really can't handle good characters that lose their head or lose themselves and have a moment of fallen grace. Fandom has shown this time and time again. They really look at them as worse than the initial evil.
related but tangential. there's a really strong unexamined belief throughout a lot of fandom -- and population outside of fandom, but we're talking about fandom here -- that what you do and say during your worst moments is who you really are.
And the assumptions underlying this, more or less, break down to:
Everybody is secretly bad deep down. They're born that way (no, this is not original sin, wdym, it's just an Honest and Realistic assessment of human nature!) and have to be taught to cover it up through childhood with facades of politeness. Everybody is lying all the time by pretending to be better or nicer than they really are, and this facade takes active effort to maintain. When the effort drops and the facade slips, the true underlying rottenness shows through.
All actions taken are rational and reasoned, at all times. Lying is always a deliberate, purposeful action meant to advance a person's aims and goals. There is never any reason to lie except to make yourself look good. Therefore, any good or nice statement or action may be a lie, but any bad or harmful statement or action must be true.
Ergo: anything a person (or a character) says or does when in states of emotional extremity, overwhelming grief, incapacitating pain, exhaustion, illness, head injury, is Peeling Back the Facade of Goodness to reveal the True Rottenness Underneath.
This is, of course, utter nonsense. But an amazing number of people seem to believe it.
Thinking about how in DH Snape was planning on finding Harry and telling him everything he learns from the Prince's Tale and how that scene would have been so insanely awkward to write than JKR decided having him brutally killed by a snake was simpler
i think i tend to forget how good boredom is for creativity because we're all so addicted to numbing ourselves with screens and stimulation. but standing in the shower or going for a walk with no music or just sitting in your bedroom without being allowed to touch any screens & all of a sudden i have multiple new projects to start, a solution to a months-long plot problem & 4 new original characters
how young lily and severus looked probably
My hobbies include reading, writing and doing neither of those things
Lily Evans is something that can be so personal
The fact that we are introduced to her as this sacrificial mother figure, and then we see her before she joined the war and she was just a girl trying to figure it all out. The fact that she was just a girl trying to figure it all out and yet she became pivotal to the fate of their world through nothing but her drive to what was right and then the fact that she was willing to give up her life for her son. That she probably didn't have it figured out but her love was enough.

So I’m seeing Daddy Hagrid discourse on my dash and here is my contribution.
Hagrid is born in 1923 so let’s say his dad is born at the end of the 19th century.
According to this article, the average height for men at this time is about 5ft7. And according to pottermore giants are 20-25 feet so:
