Oh! Yes my love. That true 🖤

[i-am-true-believer]

To my late night scrollers, the ones that are just like me, looking for comfort and love, acceptance and a way to escape.

We all have the thing that helps us, for many of us on this site it's fanfiction. Whether it be hurt/comfort, noncon, a/b/o, friends to lovers or even the one bed trope, everyone has the fics that help us through, with the characters we dream about that make us feel loved, appreciated, wanted.

They're here, waiting for you, ready to see what adventures they're in for tonight. Ready to be your comfort, your friend, your shoulder to cry on. What will you two do tonight? They're so excited, maybe they're waiting with bated breath, ready to meet you all over again, to fall for you again, ready to relive that favorite story, you're happiest moments.

They're there, arms open, smile wide, ready for you. You're their favorite character, their favorite part of the day.

I hope you're scrolling tonight goes well, that you get what you need. I hope that tomorrow is better then today and that at some point, you wake up and don't need the comfort as much, that it's not a need anymore.

From the girl on Tumblr who wishes she could give every single one of you the love and comfort you deserve. Remember, your comfort character believes in you, and so do I.

What’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like he’s going to kill him.

[snapethesadboi]

I like Minerva’s reaction

[st-severus]

huh. i just realized… wasn’t anyone suspicious that dumbledore suddenly gave snape a position that had been cursed for a gazillion years?

[sootydoodles]

I’m sure someone’s pointed this out (sorry op), but it’s really something like 40th time’s the charm. In the greater community, it’s been rumored to be cursed for years; the staff would almost certainly believe it is. Not only does Dumbledore know that it’s cursed, but who cast the curse, when, and why. He shares this with no one until he dies.

Severus in 1980 in his role as super secret great Death Eater spy who’s definitely not still baby faced and acne prone: I’m interviewing. For a normal professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Yes. Albus: That’s adorably transparent. No.

Severus in 1991: Why did you hire him? There are rumors he’s doing Dark shit in Albania? What the fuck. Albus: Exactly, Severus.

Severus in 1992: Fucking HIM? Albus, sucking on a lemon drop while he thinks of his friends who were Confounded by Lockhart and wondering what the curse will do to the little bastard: Hmm, life is full of little mysteries.

Severus in 1993: HE’S—FRIENDS—WITH—LILY’S—KILLER! WHO JUST ESCAPED, MUTTERING ABOUT KILLING POTTER. AND HE’S A WEREWOLF, AND THIS IS A SCHOOL! AND HE ALMOST KILLED ME. Albus: Won’t it be interesting to see what he does? Severus, whose blood pressure would have killed him at 38.5 if Nagini hadn’t got him first: FUCKING NO.

Severus in 1994: Cool. My arresting officer. I love being here, where you force me to be. I love teaching here at Hogwarts where everything bad happens. I love children and all of the stupid awful ways they try to kill themselves in front of me. Really fucking looking forward to the Tournament, by the way! Albus: Lemon drop?

Severus in 1995: Her? Her. That one? Albus: Consider Professor Lockhart. Severus: Rather fucking not.

Severus in 1996: …Me? Albus: Indeed. It is time. Severus, who’s been writing and rewriting lesson plans for 20 years: I gotta. Fuck. Bye, I have to plan, stop picking up cursed shit, I hate you. Albus: Will you kill me now? Severus: Whatever! Bye!!! Potter’s going to fucking die if I do one thing wrong, thanks for giving me two years max, asshole!! Albus, under his breath: I mean, one year. Severus: —and I need a creepy speech, and—

Snape on his first lesson of DADA: I can’t believe I have to tell people this, but DON’T PICK UP CURSED STUFF

[severusdefender]

I can't help but think about how similar Severus and Harry's reactions were after losing their parental figures. Harry thrashing Dumbledore's office and Severus doing the same at Grimmauld place.

Whoa, you're right

[asaltysquid]

He came to me in a dream

[severusdefender]

Dumbledore to Snape: Dear friend, your holiday gift this year…is me.

Dumbledore: That’s right, another year of friendship. Your membership has been renewed.

Potions lesson back in 1971!

I know the Prince and Snape are one and the same person but Hermione is savage, I love her.

There is a meme in the Russian Harry Potter fandom about the fact that Albus forcibly forces all visitors to his office to drink tea with lemon and eat jelly candies in the form of lemon slices, and NO ONE likes it.

The inscription on the canister: tea with lemon

I think I drew them a year ago. I like emotions, but I plan to redraw. Snape has a tired face😅

[snapeislbaeimnotokay]

I’ve been seeing a lot of hate, so I just want to spread some positivity.

Loving Snape is perfectly fine and valid. Loving him because writing for him is a good way for you to vent is valid. Loving him because you can relate to parts of his story and his experiences is valid. Loving him because he’s a comfort character that brings some joy to your life is valid. Loving him because he’s a well rounded, nuanced character is valid. Loving him because you can see a diamond in the rough and enjoy what you can do with him in fics is valid. Loving him because he’s a bad bitch and you like a brooding, attitude ridden snarky character is valid. Loving him because of the change he undergoes in canon and the redemption and forgiveness ingrained in his character is valid. Loving him because of the dynamics he does have or the possible dynamics he can have is valid. Loving him because you love his aesthetic or love the way he talks is valid. Loving him because he’s a longtime hyper-fixation or special interest is valid. Loving him because you started getting involved in arguments with Snaters who were being irrational and somehow wound up being attached is valid.

Loving him for all the above at once is valid. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a character that makes mistakes, it’s not immoral to love characters that make mistakes. People trying to make you feel bad because of their own dislike of a character are just lashing out and likely are insecure in some fashion.

Keep loving Snape, it’s not hurting anyone, no one else is entitled to changing your opinion on him, don’t let anyone rain on your parade and peer pressure you into being ashamed of the things you like.

I love the Snapedom even if I’m not always so active on this blog. Every time I check the Snape tag, I inevitably see Snater hate and the same old arguments, and that can be tiring. But I love all the fanart and fics and metas that I see! Everyone who frequents the tag is smart and creative and I appreciate you!

Much love!

Snape love <3

Hermione: There's a potion boiling in this cauldron.

Harry: Yes, this happens when there is a fire burning under it.

Hermione: No, that's not what I meant. Don't you find it strange that the potion hasn't evaporated in 3 years?

Harry: This is the eighth wonder of the world.
