TW: MENTION OF SELF HARM

This song is exactly what Gilderoy Lockhart and Severus Snape’s relationship is.

Like Sev hates Roy at first and then with time, he realises that he actually had a crush on him the whole time. Roy knew this and then they start to date….Severus doubts himself and his ability to become loved and wonders why Roy likes him and continues to date him. Since of Severus’ trust issues, he pushes Roy away when he finds out about Sev’s cUts on his wrists and they break up (really on Sev’s side, he thinks that). But Gilderoy knows what Severus feels and gives him a bit of time to figure himself out, and then goes to visit Severus at Spinner’s End. Since Severus’ dad was at work, it’s simply perfect timing and Gilderoy drops the L-bomb, with those three simple words and forgives Severus because he simply loves him. Severus doesn’t know how to react but it makes his heart swell up inside. THEN he realises that Roy helped him with his issues and they are perfect dating each other until the end of Hogwarts. (Yes this takes place during third year to seventh year)….

WOW! That was a lot! But this song is so fucking good, please listen to it (it’s 6 minutes long btw!) And it’s my go to song now.

@moonlightdancer26 If you would read this and add any of your ideas to it (when you have the time)!

Pressure The Incompetent

Child Protective Services (CPS) are not always helpful. Especially with cases of emotional abuse. From personal experiences and many relatable stories, CPS appears extremely unhelpful for children trapped in emotionally abusive homes and seeking a way out. Emotional abuse is extremely dangerous. It comes in many forms (body shaming, slut shaming, manipulation, negligence, picking favorites, etc.), it is a type of "hidden abuse", it is extremely mentally damaging, it is extremely hard to escape, and it is extremely hard to prove. Unfortunately, many forms of emotional abuse are often disregarded by society, and this includes authorities such as CPS. They will not defend a victim unless they present the effects of physical abuse. They will wait until you're injured or dead. There needs to be more dire consequences for perpetrating emotional abuse. There needs to be more attentive and thorough investigations done by the proper authorities (CPS). There needs to be more justice for emotionally abused children. In some states and/or counties in the U.S. emotional abuse does not make the parent unfit. This needs to change, or else many, many children will continue to suffer and/or die. Pressure those in power who ignore the issue of child abuse, especially emotionally abusive cases. Do not let them dismiss grave problems and leave the victims trapped and helpless. Pressure the incompetent.
