i mean. . .. . Butcher and Homelander are like if you took Sirius and Snape's most ignored traits and multiplied them by 1000.

fandom treats lily evans and severus snape as roughly equivalent in their disadvantage: two outsiders, different choices. but at hogwarts specifically, in the years we see them, severus snape is more vulnerable than lily evans. not because her muggle-born status isn't real. but because disadvantage isn't one thing, and his stacks in ways hers doesn't.

he's poor. visibly, grindingly poor. ill-fitting secondhand clothes, a violent home in a depressed industrial town, no family connections, no money. he arrives at hogwarts with nothing but his intelligence. he gets sorted into the most class-conscious, lineage-obsessed house in the school. he is a scholarship kid among aristocrats and he cannot hide it.

lily is also not wealthy. but lily is beautiful, warm, and socially fluent. james potter's obsession with her functions as a social shield whether she wants it or not. she experiences hogwarts as difficult but navigable.

severus gets physically attacked. repeatedly. in corridors, in front of crowds, by boys who face no consequences. a girl with his exact qualities, clever, poor, socially awkward, from the wrong background, would have been condescended to, excluded, quietly undermined. she would not have been hung upside down in front of the school while people laughed.

this is a gendered dynamic. fandom ignores it completely.

Super Sketchy Severus Snape 💚

[doveywovy]

idk guys sometimes you just have to accept a ship dynamic is unhealthy, insane, and sometimes abusive. and its not real people so those factors just make it interesting

yessss we're back to drawing this little fool

[dateamonster]

tbh im not entirely immune to a villain with a tragic backstory but i do think villain origins are a lot more interesting when the focus is less "here is the original sin, the first big bad thing that happened to them that made them who they are" and more "here is the first time a person who maybe otherwise felt powerless in their life realized that they could hurt someone and get away with it"

[thelostprojector]

"Severus only change because of Lily-" And Dumbledore only gave up on his world dominating, killing spree fantasy with his lover only because his sister died. Yall do realize people change with experiences? People make bad choices and regret? Or do you'll live in fairytales?

sometimes people on here talk about "accountability" in a way that shows they think that the person they've decided is in the wrong can't actually do anything to redeem themselves other than like. suicide.

[ace-aussie-asshole]

Things Accountability IS:

Apologising for the harm that you've caused.

Trying to change your behaviour.

Accepting that not everyone will forgive you and they don't have to.

Things Accountability ISN'T:

Wallowing in your guilt until you think of yourself as nothing but bad.

Accepting an overly distressing punishment for your actions.

Twisting yourself into knots to make sure everyone knows how disgusted you are by yourself.

Other people can't move on if you never do.

[the-haiku-bot]

Accepting that not

everyone will forgive you

and they don’t have to.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Ya know what i love? I love the idea that post-war, Severus would have no idea what to do with himself. He's been serving others for almost twenty years, and before he was doing that, any time he made his own decisions it carried severe consequences he can't be punished enough for.

He never really had his own identity outside of what he could do or who/what he would become. His life was valued for his servitude. His heart was exploited for warfare. Following the war, with no master left to serve and a world full of opportunities and choices, it would probably dawn on him, horrifyingly, that he has no idea who he even is.

What does he actually like? What does he actually want in life? What does he want to do? What sort of people does he prefer to have around himself? Does he deserve friends? Probably not, according to him. Where should he go? Spinner's End is familiar, but too painful. School was his prison, but it's all he knows, too. What's out there? Who's out there?

Scariest of all would be the fact that he now has choices. He wouldn't trust himself. He was mentored by Dumbledore to some extent, sure, but ultimately he was his servant. Without that, without being a servant, for better or for worse, Severus Snape would feel so lost. I know how i handle this in my head canon, but i wonder what other people think. ❤️‍🩹

Trying to find a tumblr post

Hi!

I am trying to find an image I came across on Tumblr years back. There's a woman dancing with carefree abandon with her arms spread out, and there's a man crouched beside her looking up at her with admiration / awe /reverence

[anotherseverussnapelover]

Someone getting too close to Severus' face.

His first reaction being to punch them hard.

Right in the nose.

No wand.

No magic.

Just a good ol' punch in the nose.

This lives rent free in my head.

There is nothing anyone can say that could make me hate Snape.

"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)
