Severus Snape is one of the only characters we see saving people in the books and explicitly saying he should have saved more lives and yet you have walking trash cans marauderfens who think that "he didn't care about anyone but himself and lily" lmaooo
WTF.
Severus Snape has been spotted in muggle clothes at Hogwarts 😂😂😂
Look, i love Remus Lupin, he’s my favourite marauder but if you think i’m going to be mad because Snape made him lose his job you are wrong. Remus insulted Snape on the marauder’s map, he humilitated him during the boggart’s lesson and never apologized for what he didn’t do when his shitty friends tormented him. Excuse me but snape had every reason to be petty or even cruel towards him. Remus was not a perfect depressed icon who eat chocolate and was nice to everyone. He was also flawed… there is no need to paint him as a cinnamonroll who never did anything wrong. It’s a disservice to his character.
As if Snape wasn’t a 31 year old man who bullied his crush’s spawn because he came out looking like his worst enemy. Acting like a few insults is worse than outing someone who didn’t have friends until he was 11 years old and lived in poverty his entire adult life knowing that outing him would make it impossible to find work. Being friends with a muggle born and then willingly joining the equivalent of a white supremacy group knowing full well they would kill his friend and calling her the equivalent of a racial slur? Acting as if this 33 year old man didn’t threaten to kill a 13 year old’s pet frog and the fact he was literally this boy’s worst fear fear knowing that the 13 year old had his parents tortured into insanity, was held by his ankles upside down out of a window and dropped because his family believed him to be a squib. Lupin matured Snape did not and the hate was mutual so no I don’t feel bad that Snape was insulted I don’t feel bad for adults who bully children and then get humiliated. He made fun of Hermione’s teeth when they were cursed by Malfoy to the point she permanently fixed them. So a couple jinxes and a few insults are minor in comparison to the things Snape did. I want to humiliate people like Snape!
Bro.
Remus Lupin ENDANGERED students. That’s why Snape fired him. Remus himself said he deserved it. And, Snape was groomed into using slurs, which is the only real explanation (EXPLANATION NOT JUSTIFICATION). Also, there are other characters who have traumatised kids like Hagrid. Humiliate them too.
Snape purposely outed him as a werewolf knowing he couldn’t find jobs to live above the poverty line. He was holding a school boy grudge.
Having a trauma because of bullying is not a "school boy grudge"... Snape was an asshole but it doesn't invalidate his suffering and the marauders' wrongdoings.
when you find an artist who draws your fave character exactly the way you like, but they only draw your NOTP 😭
Rickman's Snape is what book Snape could have been if he'd survived the war and got a genuine chance to heal away from places that caused him trauma.
Rickman's Snape is who I imagine Snape to be in Snape survives fics.
Can't believe Adrien Brody and Cate Blanchett exist. These two would be perfect to portray my two Ships :
Snarcissa and Snakepick.
and they have the same age gap 👍 Cate is 4 years older than Adrien...
You know how I know Snape is a good person? Cuz when Dumbledore gave him that "After all this time?" bullshit, he just said "Always" instead of "Well, you're still not over your toxic little fascist boyfriend after a whole century, but go off, I guess."
Snape literally went from "It would have served you right if Black had killed you" to "You've been raising him like a pig for slaughter" and I'm stunned because holy shit, that's an actual character arc.
Controversial Character Tournament Round 1: Severus Snape from Harry Potter
(remember that these characters are fictional and your fellow tumblr users are real. please be normal in the notes, i will not hesitate to block if you harass people)
What is your opinion on this character?
LOVE
HATE
No strong opinion
Don't know this character
Barbie movie defenders in my notes screaming "why do you expect so much out of a Barbie let people enjoy things it's not that deep" might be suffering from the ultimate case of wanting to have your cake and eat it too
Setting aside the fact that all art and media is political and subject to criticism, this is a movie that screams in basically every line of dialogue it wants to be considered a thesis statement on women, gender, and feminism. In a Barbie movie. That's the line it went with. Nobody held a gun to Greta Gerwig or Mattel's head and said this is what they needed to make but they did! And if you're going to attempt to make a two hour toy commercial into a feminist text people get to criticize your inherently limited and half-assed politics! Crazy!
Imagine Severus as a stepdad 💀💀
I love a soft, deeply wounded but basically good Severus Snape. But I also like the idea of him just truly being awful. Down to his bones, angry and lashing out and taking his pain out on innocent people, and then, also, contributing to saving the world. The thing about ‘evil’ is…it’s complicated and human. It’s short sighted. It’s not one thing, it’s not a whole person. It’s choices, little ones that add up. Goodness isn’t a single thing, either. Cruel people can do a right thing, or fight on the right side, and still be awful. The world is crazy like that. People are complex.
I’m speaking my truth: adrien brody is hot
To which anti Snape post are you writing a 5000-word response?
But Snape bullied James back, he’s not an innocent victim!
Snape is the most evil character in the series, remember NeViLle’s BoGgArt??😡
Snape’s memories were from his perspective so we can’t trust them!
What did Snape actually accomplish for the Order anyway? 🙄
Snape isn’t redeemed just because he wanted to bang Harry’s mom🤷🏻♀️
Snape knew Sirius was innocent & wanted him in Azkaban bc of a childhood grudge⛓
Snape only did what he did for selfish reasons and because Dumbledore made him
People only like Snape because of the movies and/or Alan Rickman!!! 😤
How did James know Levicorpus? 🧐James was the REAL genius behind the HBP book
Friendly reminder that Snape is an incel 😘
All of them and more.
“I see no difference” and “slut shaming” Hermione by reading out the prophet article that Hermione was reading in the middle of class. Are the two I will throw hands down because those are such gross stretches.
"Snape is an incel" is the most unfair argument against him... actually. While some of the others listed above can be up to interpretation this one is the stupidest !!!
It's like seeing an ugly/fat/disabled man in the street and saying "what a disgusting incel, he certainly never got laid and would praise rape !!!" Snape never showed any sexist behavior that would be VERY concerning and would suggest a predatory mindset.
I’ve received an answer to a post and I’ve hesitated whether I should answer to it so I decided to make it a post.
First things first, I love Harry Potter. I love the world JKR has given us, I love many of the characters. I think Harry Potter is a tremendously imaginative and extraordinary work. Every time I say Snape is hilarious or that he’s a tremendously well-crafted character this is a very direct compliment to Rowling’s abilities as a writer. I am and will forever be grateful to Rowling for having created this world and these characters. It was a very important series in my formative years and it definitely shaped me as a reader.
I think, additionally, that Harry Potter has tremendously worthwhile messages about love, bravery, and standing up for what’s right. It’s got very strong anti-prejudice and anti-bigotry messages. If ever I have a child I would gladly give them Harry Potter to read, not just because it is very fun but because there are very important values to be learnt from it.
However, I conceive text as an interpretative exercise and part of the reason I enjoy fiction is because I can interpret it and interact with text. This involves criticism. I love Harry Potter and I think it is extraordinary, but it also has flaws, and Rowling, as a writer, is not perfect and has plenty of shortcomings. Pointing them out is not a personal attack on JK. Rowling. Discussing what I think are the problems with the narrative or the characters, criticizing parts of the world-building or discussing what I believe are questionable creative choices (such as some aspects of Pottermore or how Rowling interacts with fandom i.e some of the things she says about her books in interviews and twitter) is my prerogative as a reader and as a fan.
I will never make personal attacks on Rowling. I don’t think Rowling is a racist or a homophobe. I think she holds problematic views on certain issues, but I am wary of turning them into a judgment of character. Rowling’s appalling views on trans issues do not erase the message of tolerance in Harry Potter. The opposite, however, is also true. Rowling choosing to support the Remain campaign commends her greatly to me, but it doesn’t erase the problematic fact that Snape was humiliated in the books by being made to dress as a woman. Rowling’s extraordinary charity work doesn’t erase the transphobia in her essay.
Overall, as I mentioned before, I am interested in Rowling as a writer and not in Rowling as a celebrity who has a twitter account. I don’t do stan culture. I don’t know JK. Rowling, and I never will. I don’t think the world is divided into good people and bad people. I’m sure that like everyone else Rowling is a person with qualities and flaws. But above all I don’t think a person is a perfect cinnamon roll just because they produce something we really like. As a rule of thumb, I would say be respectful, be considerate – and above all, understand that maybe it is not entirely healthy to deposit your mental wellbeing into “stanning” someone you don’t know.
As for Rowling as a writer: I understand how hard it is must be to deal with a phenomenon so large as Harry Potter, how hard it must be to be constantly assailed with questions about Potter even when you’re off trying to do something else. But part of my work as a reader is to criticize text. To say that Rowling has shortcomings as a writer is not a judgment of her character; it’s a judgment of her work. To say that I wished Rowling had a slightly different attitude towards fandom, that I would like her to leave the world as it is, and to have a more “this is for you to interpret attitude” is not a judgment of her character, it is an assessment of her creative choices and how that can impact fandom and the reception of her books.
In this sense, when I explore the idea that perhaps the issues of abuse and trauma weren’t properly addressed in the books, this isn’t a judgment of Rowling as a person – I don’t know Rowling and I am very wary of making the jump to “what this says about her”. In fact, I would argue that psycho analyzing the writer is a fruitless, largely useless task. It’s a judgment of Rowling as a writer and of how some parts of her characterization are not as subtle or as nuanced as I would like them to be, and how that can skew or twist the message.
