The thrill of discovering the Snape fandom and all the headcannons, edits, fics, etc. And then the crushing realisation that he's not well liked by the larger fandom AT ALL.

And then the burning hatred for the marauders fandom and the countless hours spent on the internet defending him.

I still get irrationally mad anytime i see anything related to those infernal marauders. KILL THEM!

Something I often see is Snape fandom sanitizes Remus into being better than he really is. There is a reason he is a Marauder. The way he react and respond to certain situations makes it very clear why he was friends with two sadistic bullies.

Did we all collectively forget the fact that Remus gaslit Severus in PoA, or that he, as a prefect, just watched Severus get bullied and eventually sexually assaulted.. Or the fact that he left Nymphadora pregnant and *checks notes* literally hit Harry when he confronted Remus abt it?

don’t tease

It’s really interesting how Lupin frames the animosity between Severus and him. This is from Half-Blood Prince, chapter sixteen:

“I neither like nor dislike Severus,” said Lupin. “No, Harry, I am speaking the truth,” he added, as Harry pulled a skeptical expression. “We shall never be bosom friends, perhaps; after all that happened between James and Sirius and Severus, there is too much bitterness there. But I do not forget that during the year I taught at Hogwarts, Severus made the Wolfsbane Potion for me every month, made it perfectly, so that I did not have to suffer as I usually do at the full moon.”

He completely absolves himself from any responsibility. It wasn’t something they did it was something that happened and even then, he himself was not involved in it, it was all James and Sirius. He is actively talking about the bad blood between himself and Severus, and he still can’t admit that he too played a part in it.

It’s just really interesting to note these little ways Lupin portrays himself to appear better than he is, because he’s so desperate to be viewed as a good person.

And the nothing burger himself strikes again! I genuinely despise him.

[swaggyseverus]

The same people who oppose Severus acting in self-defense against his bullies are those that are opposed to resistance by oppressed peoples in real life but I have no way to prove my theory so I'm just going to keep quiet.

Here is my completely unasked for opinions on Snape ships:

Jeverus - Love it, but only after James is made to crawl on his belly and eat dust. If he isn't sufficiently beaten down or if Severus forgives him too early then I can't. James needs the ego knocked out of him first, he needs to be broken down and rebuilt and THEN I love it.

Snirius - Also love it. Completely different energy from jeverus, in that I need James to be a contrite simp who realizes the error of his ways, Sirius on the other hand is a bastard and so is Severus, and them trading blows and insults between kisses is just 😘

Snily - Honestly like it, but only when Lily has genuine flaws that she has to work through in the text as well. I'm not interested in perfect Lily and simp Severus who must flagellate himself to he worthy of her love. But when they're written as two people with a lot of history and complicated, flawed beings? Beautiful.

Snupin - Dislike. I can write snupin in short spurts but every time I tried to write a long snupin fic Remus slowly morphs into a passive aggressive, gaslighting, "Oh my friends weren't so bad, you're exagerrating, I need to downplay your pain because my school days were the last time I really enjoyed my life and if I take my rose-tinted glasses off I will have to examine my own actions and guilt and be forced to take responsibility and acknowledge that not every bad thing I've done can be blamed on the wolf, nor can I insulate my feelings by blaming other people's prejudice against lycanthropy as a reason for why they might not like me instead of acknowledging that maybe I'm not actually that nice of a guy." SORRY.

Snucius - Unironically love Lucius having sugar baby Severus to spoil.

Snucissa - What's better than one hot, rich blond? TWO hot, rich blondes. Death Eaters, you say? Morally dubious at the best of times, you say? Yes, perfect, I crave gothic, crumbling aristocracy, the beautiful decadence that masks our sins, and yet still loving throuple snucissa.

Snarity - It all depends on the Charity. She's basically an OC since we don't know anything about her in canon, except that she had the balls to tell Death Eaters they suck in a major newspaper when the Death Eater activity was extremely high and that she and Severus were friends. I can get behind this with a well-written and interesting Charity 👍

Snarry/Snamione - Not a fan at all. Even if there's no romantic relationship until Harry and Hermione are like 40, I can't see Severus ever acknowledging them as anything but those annoying kids who made his life hell. Every time he sees them the Kill Bill sirens start playing in his head. Harry could be 60 years old and Severus 80 years, and Severus would be like, "Shut the fuck up, you snuck out of the castle and went to Hogsmeade when we all thought a serial killer was out to get you, I have a heart condition because of you, get out of my nursing home before I throw my dentures at you."

Snon - Only in A Very Potter Musical.

Snumbledore- Only in Potter Puppet Pals.

I want severus fic recs that will make me CRY!!! I WANT TO WEEEEPPPPP!!!

Please❤️

[i-will-write]

how i sleep knowing i write shitty fiction but at least don’t use chatgpt

[swaggyseverus]

Those fics where Severus starts dating one of the marauders and he joins them and also becomes...a marauder??

Let's not do that.

It's bad enough he's dating one of them (which i am guilty of eating up) but now we're acting like he'll get along with the other losers?

Also, hate when they make him "yearn" to be part of their gang like baby the only thing he's yearning for is for them to sponataneously explode😬

[swaggyseverus]

I detest everything and anything to do with the marauders, James Potter in particular, so I found myself wondering why I still ship Sev with him then I realised most of the fanfiction I write is centered around him suffocating in guilt and grovelling for forgiveness, which he does not receive until he is practically almost dead. And in my PWP, i have James be a bitch for Severus.

What can I say? I contain multitudes.

[swaggyseverus]

Marauders stans bragging about how their fandom is fun because "its all make-believe and you can do whatever you want with the characters" ...

Maybe because your characters have a combined presence of a singular line of dialogue?

[jasontoddliker]

Can we stop associating spiderman with James Potter?

Whenever I see collages/ edits of James, Spiderman is always there. Mf Peter Parker would dislike James guts, if anything he is more similar to Snape both are intelligent, have traumatic childhoods, are haunted by guilt etc etc. Peter is a working class hero pls don’t associate him with a rich prick

[jasontoddliker]

Reading atyd bc I got curious..Severus is bullying Remus bc he is poor in chap2

[swaggyseverus]

The author did so, so, so much damage with that bs.
