I can't stop thinking of an eleven year old Severus sitting in the great hall, deep in his books, someone trips over his bench, knocking his quill and spilling ink all over his almost finished assignment, ruining hours of work, only because of this clumsy idiot not being able to watch his steps. I can just see him losing it after weeks of teasing and shouting in a strong northern accent, he just started trying to hide:
"Fucking hell! Look at this shite ! I've been graftin' all bleedin' all day and you've done and knackered it, have ya? Can't even watch where you're bloody going, can ya? Get the fuck outta me sight ! Bloody imbecile"
Everyone falls silent, shocked, not just about the language ,but at the raw fury breaking through the usually composed facade. Four Gryffindors exchanged gleeful looks, their eyes glued on Snape. Sirius grinning,eyes gleaming with mischief, "Calm as a corpse most days, but there's a volcano under that surface.Bet he'll snap again...very soon, let's make sure of it".
Maybe I sound like a misandrist but I don't care, my red flags go up every time, when a guy tells me he likes horror movies. And every time they give me those movies as recs where the plot is just killer tortures a women plus r-scenes.
Hello Ghost. Let's say you met 21yr old Snape. He wasn't involved with DE and he wasn't tasked with childcare. It's a modern setting (2000's). He's battling trauma and depression but goes to therapy. What would you say to him?
I love this question!!! Interesting concept. No death eaters to deal with, no prophecies to feel guilty about, no being a spy,and no dealing with teenagers all day. That's a different Severus.
A trauma informed therapist would gently introduce the concept of complex trauma (C-PTSD) and explain that Severus's responses are not personality flaws but adaptive responses to chronic emotional neglect and/or abuse. And he definitely suffered from Depressive Disorder: Long-term helplessness, isolation, bullying,shame were the causes.... I can even see him suffering from Dysmorphia to an extent ,as a result of years of bullying.
Something a therapist would say to Severus : You weren't too needy, too strange, too angry. You were a kid trying to build a house with no bricks. That's not failure. That's neglect and it wasn't your fault. You're no monster, you were taught to see yourself through cruel eyes.
Something I would do though : ???
I think I'd sit beside him in the world’s ugliest waiting room. I'd probably say something too positive and too philosophical trying to lighten up the mood but also being too blunt for my own good :
"You've already survived the worst parts, now you get to chose what you wanna do and who you wanna be, how long do you want the past to define your future?"
"You keep acting like kindness is a trap but some of us give it without asking for anything back"
"Maybe you were never hard to love,you were just around people that couldn't love or never even knew how. "
"You're not scary. People that scare me the most are the ones convinced they're good at core. You're not one of them"
I wouldn't expect him to believe me. That's not the point. He'd probably sneer. But later, in some half-lit room, he'd remember it. I'd ask him what he's reading , not because I care (I very much do) but because talking about his interests is probably the easiest way to get him slowly out of his shell and let him see that not every conversation has to be a possible fight or flight situation.
HELLO! OC x Snape is back🤭 (+18 because uhh weed implications?)
I know I've been missing these days but I had to save the semester at uni last minute!! y'all know how it is :P
ANYWAYS! Here's a silly drawing of my HP OC with Snape TEE HEE. I'm an all time weed lover, don't come @ me I'm 25+ 😭 So naturally Raven is a big stoner and Snape let's her be most of the time, but sometimes she shows up at breakfast high on a wednesday morning and he's like "girl are you fr???". JWHJAJDJWKD I have the weirdest headcannons i swear to gods XD
Also if you for some reason relate to this and want to have Snape denying you a good fat joint, I give to you the Snape only version so you can use it and edit it as a wallpaper🤲 I use the app Picsart for adding backgrounds or cutting the image and putting it on another🧠🧠🧠
I believe in generosity, community and open source knowledge🙏🏻🤓🤓
saying someome's appearance "makes them unique and adds depth to their character," is inherently shallow and something i believe is false?
i mean, if you want to headcanon him as unconventionally attractive, go ahead, but only applying conventional beauty standards to him and not to Any of the other characters is hypocrisy.
I like to think he's attractive ,but not by 1970's British standards. Everyone that doesn't fit into the current beauty trend is deemed as "mid or ugly", doesn't mean they actually are, it's just the crowd following trends. We all look different and have different types that we find attractive.
