Pro Snape - Blog Posts

I feel so gross whenever fanon plays off Snape's parental issues as an excuse that he actively uses, in-universe, to make Lily feel sorry for him and overlook his bad behavior.

Not only is it out-of character for him, the way it's often portrayed gives off the impression that Snape's account of the severity of the situation is unreliable — when the only context his abusive home life is ever brought up is when he's being emotionally manipulative for personal gain, isn't it then likely that he would be exaggerating the situation?

A really prominent trait of canon Snape is that he doesn't like being pitied. He actually hates being seen as a victim. He would much rather be seen as a terrible person than as a hurt, vulnerable one. It's the reason he ends up calling Lily mudblood in the first place. It's why he'd sooner join the Death Eaters than reach out for help.

IDK — Just the fact that some antis apparently acknowledge Snape's canonically abusive childhood, but then spin it into something he consistently takes advantage of to manipulate others for sympathy and forgiveness to the point it comes off as deceptive, when that's actually pretty much the opposite of how he acts in canon... it makes my skin crawl.

Can you IMAGINE the outrage antis would have if Snape was the one who:

Attacked his crush’s childhood friend unprovoked

Gagged said friend with soap

Hung said friend upside down and exposed their undergarments

Tried to coerce crush into a date with the promise to stop tormenting their friend

Threatened to pull down said friend’s underwear in front of already riled up crowd

They would be frothing at the mouth.

But because it was Mr. James “Blank Slate” Potter, he gets a pass because antis can fill their uwu headcannons into him like how he would have been a feminist HAH.

“BuT jAmEs gReW uP aNd mAtURed bY hIS 7th yEaR”

Umm…no hun, he didn’t. The evidence comes straight from the mouths of Sirius and Remus. You know…his BEST FRIENDS.

He was still hexing Snape behind Lily’s back in 7th year. Whether or not Snape started it first is irrelevant. A mature person would have talked to Lily about what was happening instead of hiding it. Why hide it if you’re not in the wrong?

On another note, NO ONE is really “grown up” at age 17. I’m a 23 year old woman (not that older than James when he died) and I can tell you that there was still ALOT of growing up I had to do when I was 17-21 years old and STILL need to do to this day.

Moral of this rant is that antis are hypocrites and need to stfu.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Penny Haywood is Pro Snape

Proudest moment of my life.

i love snily as a ship but nothing can beat the power and tragedy of their friendship. come on, the angst of childhood best friends that were the comfort of each other slowly taking different sides, slowly losing the skill to understand one another ??

lily was the only witch in her family, she had no idea what was going on, she realized her parents didn’t have all the answers in the world, her sister was starting to hate her for something she had no control over it. but then she met severus, someone like her, someone that told her about a whole world that she belongs to, a friend with whom she could be herself.

severus came from a abusive home, his own father hated what he was, his mother didnt didnt knew how to properly raise him, he had no friends and no one of his age he could relate to. but then he met lily, a girl the same age as him, a witch like him, someone that was kind and extroverted, someone that brought light to his life.

they loved each other so badly, and yet it wasnt enough to keep them together. they ended up hurting one another (one more than the other), they were in different sides of war, and severus has to live forever with guilty and regret about what happened, his worst memory being the day he really lost her.

yes i think severus had a crush on her when they were kids (and in my hcs, lily had a crush on him at some point too), but a crush fades over time. their tragedy is not about romance, its about losing your best friend, the most important person in your world, the first person you felt comfortable with and could be yourself.

Total mask off moment for all the racists in the Harry Potter fandom now that they cast a black actor for Snape.

I think it’s a good choice that they are making casting choices that are distinctly different than the films.

It really be like that but honestly I love it and always will 😌

Severitus be like...

😭

Translation

1. At first, Dumbledore considered the young man a “chessman”

2. An especially useful “piece” to take The Dark Lord down

3. But he ended up pouring too much love

4. And the “chessman” turned into a “human”, a kid he cared about

5. At last he let the kid used him as a “piece” to end the game

*Chess piece (棋子) rhymes with Kid (孩子) in Chinese

One of my favourite genres: Severus finally breaking under pressure, Sirius having to deal with "Severus Snape is a human person too" understanding 🥺🥺🥺

It's interesting in both directions I saw it: when they hate each other and it forces Sirius to see human in Snape or when they are already on kinda friendly terms (at least they tolerate each other) but Sirius doesn't see how much pain there is inside of Snape and has to finally see it to full extent.

These guys' hurt/comfort scenes are always a gourmet dish but it gets too salty from my tears too fast 🙃

Marauder’s Era Snack where Sirius quite often has to reassure Severus that their relationship is not some intricate prank scheme because Snape for a long time reacts to any hint that it is in a "I knew it, what else to expect" kind of way and Sirius can't even blame anyone but himself 🙃🙃🙃

Love fics where their relationship develop in a slowburn way and all their canon backstory doesn't just disappear, because, hell, it's such an interesting thing to untangle and try to make work 🥺

another one of favourite tropes for these two: when in OOTP Sirius just doesn’t want to let Severus go to Voldemort 😭

Please this is such a cute mental image 😭

7 year old snape: physically, i’m here. mentally, i'm lost in a thick forest, collecting mushrooms in a basket and carrying a tiny frog around in my pocket.

Lily: Yeah I'm LGBT.

Lily: cuLt leader.

Lily: God hates me personally.

Lily: cowBoy hat.

Lily: *sniffles* Trying my best.

*************************OR***********************

Severus: Yeah I'm LGBT.

Severus: cuLt leader.

Severus: God hates me personally.

Severus: cowBoy hat.

Severus: *sniffles* Trying my best.

Lucius, about a fight between Bellatrix and Severus: It scares me how many knives were involved.

Lily: There… weren’t any knives involved though?

Lucius: That’s what scares me.

*************************OR***********************

Narcissa, about a fight between Lily and Severus: It scares me how many knives were involved.

Regulus: There… weren’t any knives involved though?

Narcissa: That’s what scares me.

Lily: *clicks pen*

Severus: *clicks pen in response*

James: Stop that.

Lily: Stop what?

James: You’re talking about me in Morse code!

Lily: Yes, that’s what we doing. In our very limited time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you. Congrats, you figured us out!

*later*

Severus, to Remus: That’s actually exactly what we were doing.

Severus: Alright, which one of us is gonna check outside?

Sirius: Not it!

James: Not it!

Severus: ...Neither one of you are as dumb as you lead on to be.

Severus: I'm bored.

Lily: Wanna commit first degree murder?

Severus: Sure!

Remus, hearing them: No- Stop, don't do that! Put that knife down! Put James down!!

Lily: Why are you smiling?

Severus: What? I can’t just be happy?

James: Sirius tripped and fell in the parking lot.

*The squad is over at Narcissa's house*

Lucius: Ohhhh, we each get our own oven?

Narcissa: ... N-No...

Narcissa, laughing: How many ovens do you think I have???

Lucius, motioning to her kitchen: Three, I thought!

Bellatrix: I see a-

Narcissa, motioning to one device: This is a microwave.

Lucius: Oh, well I-

Narcissa: Hey wait wait, actually- hang on- *fiddles with the buttons on the microwave*

Narcissa, amazed: Its got a bake setting!

Regulus: Ohoho, you learn something new every day!

Severus: Do we- Do we roshambo for who gets to pick first?

Narcissa: Now I've just discovered I have more ovens than I thought, we don't have to roshambo nothin!

Narcissa: I am a woman who owns four ovens...

Narcissa, louder and way too happy: I am a woman... who owns FOUR OVENS...

Narcissa: I didn't know I was so rich with ovens...

Lily, pointing to another appliance: Also the toaster oven!

Narcissa:

Lucius: Ohhh, toasty boy! Four- Five ovens!

Narcissa:

Narcissa, fucking ECSTATIC: I AM A WOMAN WHO OWNS FIVE OVENS

Severus: So we're gathered here today for a very special reason and I think you'll all agree with me here.

Severus: And if you don't well then fuck you.

Severus: I'm looking at you, Bellatrix, you jealous mop.

Severus: You read my diary?

Bellatrix: At first I did not know it was your diary. I thought it was a very sad handwritten book.

Bellatrix: No, I don't want to talk about physics! I don't know anything about the laws of physics because they are hard and boring. I simply would like them to behave in a way that is most convenient to ME and MY LIFE! Is that really asking too much?

Severus: Yes, as a matter of fact, it is!

Bellatrix: Well, guess what? Science is stupid bullshit!!

Severus: You take that back!!!

Bellatrix: No. Magic is awesome. Science blows. The end.

Regulus, barging in: Syphilis!

Severus:

Regulus:

Severus: Pardon?

Severus: So what’s for dinner?

Regulus: I can’t tell you, it’s a soup-prise!

Severus: …

Severus: Is it soup?

Regulus: I soup-pose it could be! *winks*

Severus: Please, enough with the soup puns!

Regulus: Wow, you’re soup-per mean.

Severus: STOP!

*one hour later*

Severus: It’s fucking tacos?!?!?!

Severus, with a headache: Advil me up, daddy.

Lily: I will short out the language centre of your brain if you say anything like that ever again.

Lily: Severus, I think we have a problem.

Severus: What, the fire?

Lily: No, the- wait, what fire?

Severus: Oh forget about it, this sounds more interesting.

*******************Reversed Roles*****************

Severus: Lily, I think we have a problem.

Lily: What, the fire?

Severus: No, the- wait, what fire?

Lily: Oh forget about it, this sounds more interesting.

Severus: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized.

Remus: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to their knees and sob while apologizing profusely*

Severus: That one. I want that one.

Sirius: Are we fighting or flirting?

Severs: I'm pinning you against a wall with my hand around your neck-

Sirius: Your point?

Sirius: I want to wake up with you every day for the rest of our lives.

Severus: I wake up at 4:30 AM every day to brew.

Sirius: I want to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives.
