What I find funniest about an Epic x PJO Crossover is how absolutely aghast Epic Hermes would be with Modern (PJO) Hermes treatment of Luke

Epic Hermes: I'm sorry, what the fuck do you mean I don't visit you? What do you mean I don't treat you to the finest hookers and blow!?

Luke: I mean I'm only nineteen so I don't really—

Epic Hermes: NINETEEN!? NINETEEN AND I HAVEN'T EVEN SENT YOU A GRAM OF HIGH QUALITY MARIJUANA!? OH WHICH WAYS OLYMPUS I'M ABOUT TO BEAT MY ASS—

SEVERUS IS MORALLY GREY AND THE IDIOTS DON'T GET IT

Dear world, prepare. for this will be the longest rant you have ever read in your life and you've been warned so don't say" I ain't reading allat" cause I ain't forcing ya.

First of all the people who claim that Severus is either a hero or a villain are both wrong. One is constantly berating every part of his character and the other is constantly uplifting him even after all his bad deeds and both are wrong. We have this idea that people fit in boxes of good or evil but that isn't it. Severus as a character is written to be fully human from the tip to toe of his character arc. First of all, (Defender side: where we try to understand him and the cause of him being a little shit) the first thing that people will bring up about him is the fact that he didn't "grow up" and forgive the marauders for everything and become a good person. Excuse me????they didn't even apologize like ever???

Like did you not get any part of that dude as a character??He was an abused kid being told stories about Hogwarts from his Slytherin mother and wanted to go to Slytherin house cuz he thought it was cool, and he got constantly put down by the marauders for it. They literally almost murdered him and Dumbledore's reaction was "it's k they're the good guys and you're uncared for here. Don't say one of them was a werewolf k??and your enemy saved your life to save his friend's skin, be grateful." Like tf. As if a kid who is in a house of people who constantly try to manipulate all its members into an evil cult is not gonna take full advantage of that and everything else to lure him in. But the real reason he never forgave the marauders is probably the worst memory. (As a person who got SA'd, I can relate, I will never forgive my assaulter, no matter what) Imagine being choked, disarmed and assaulted in front of the whole school when there should be teachers to prevent that, your assaulters get nothing against them and you say something horrible that costs you the only person you actually cared about most in the heat of the moment.(Shouldn't have said that horrible slur but eh.. character development go brr)and then you get constantly berated(implied that James only continued tormenting him but now in secret and not in front of lily) by the dude who you feel destroyed your only friendship and had nothing bad happen to them .Guess how easy it would be for the death eaters to stir up that resentment to their favour, take a wild fucking guess.

"Oh but he had so much time to become better!!!!" Oh my god. Right after he stopped being a death eater (imagine the amount of shit war does to people, murder, being stuck in a cult when trying to escape is a death sentence telling your master a prophecy that any death eater would tell him and then the shit that followed) he got stuffed into the place that caused most of his problems, with students who most definitely saw him get assaulted. That resentment of his is only going to get bigger and bigger with no place to heal or disappear. And since the marauders are either dead or gone, guess who is the unfortunate catalyst for this resentment??? The only people who can't do anything in return, the students....

Am I condoning those acts??? Am I saying it is the students fault?? No. The poor students are the victim of an unfortunate abuse cycle and they never deserved it.. but a person with that much hatred and resentment would never cope with it healthily. And oh my god If I have been assaulted and if my assaulter got constantly put on a podium for how great they are I would hate them for the rest of my life too. You think he would give a shit about James, about his life?? Do you think he would care if he lived or died??would you?? The only person anyone would care about in that situation is your friend (selfish as it is) or whatever he saw her as (the feels were never really properly specified, we all just assumed crush and Jk is ruining everything now so can't ask her either.) And God.... Dumbledore saying that he was disgusted by Severus as if he didn't push him to the path by constantly enabling the others and never giving a shit about Slytherin irks me so much I can't. (Dumbledore really being all for the greater good but allowing his students to be bullied and mistreated,when he had the full power to stop it and not giving a shit about anyone as long as they weren't useful(I see you) he could have stopped both the marauders and Severus from bullying ppl but didn't and has the audacity..ughhh I get he's morally grey too but like he makes questionable choices)

Severus is a bully. He became exactly what he hated and that is reality for some people who don't receive mental help . So he saved people's lives?? He was still a vindictive asshole who took out his resentment of his life on poor students (who didn't deserve it at all). And about mistreating Harry: If I constantly saw my assaulter's face with the eyes of the person I cared about most I would actually poison that kid. Would the kid deserve it? No. Would it help me feel any better about my miserable life? No. Would I still do it to inflict back the pain that I received onto others like the human being that I am? Yea probably? Does that reasoning make it justified?? No. Does it make Severus Satan? Nope.

I think the character he is most like is shen jiu (completely different fandom ik ik) who abused an innocent child because of his tragic past. And the people who say "oh Harry was abused but never did that." People cope with trauma differently (don't compare how different people deal with trauma)!!!!! Harry had people to support him and help him through the trauma and he was rude and insensitive sometimes (key word :sometimes I'm not saying Harry is bad)too alright???Severus immediately conformed himself to a terrorist cult with enablers after receiving the trauma. They are completely different and in different situations. Comparing these two is like comparing blue and red(different colors)

He is still morally grey. He's a selfish prick who takes his frustrations out on others and yet he still saved lots of lives and sacrificed himself for a better cause. He's not supposed to fit the good and evil stereotype at all. He's supposed to show people how humans are not perfect per se and are complex in ways that are hard to get. They can be endlessly cruel and still save people. They could be virtuous and still treat others like shit at times. People out here really asking for more morally grey complex characters and can't even handle him..just don't get angry when you can't fandomify(The term for unnecessary excusing or defending) the actions of a person who can't cope with their trauma because you don't understand them and don't treat them as evil irredeemable monster either because that isn't true. Now, after all of this ranting you can still not understand this concept of : morally grey. Then I fear my writing was wasted, and I regret you having no brain. Please stop trying to put fictional characters in good and evil boxes when they are not meant to be there.

I know i always harp about how i prefer canon but by god I adore fanon Snape Gang so much. like yes they are blood purists hanging around with Hufflepuffs biggest muggle sympathiser Charity Burbage. She's the acception. Also shes rich. Aurora? She gives them study prep. She's dating Charity. She gets them into all the Ravenclaw partys. She is basically their big sister despite being the same age. Snape? He is HIM. Charity NEEDS to put him in her pocket. Mulciber wants him so bad. So what that he's a halfblood? It means they have diversity! Wilkes? What a dork. Every friendgroup needs a blonde or two. Who cares that he's demented, have you met Avery! Mulciber? This guy, amiright. What an asshole. Snape can't stop gawking. So handsome... so rich??? Chad alert. Avery? Also, asshole. We gotta love him. Again, handsome. Basically Mulcibers brother. Will put his damn life on the line for these guys then act all cold and distant.

Idk man. I think they are fucking dumb and completely not canon compliant but you gotta let a guy dip his feet in the canon divergence pool every once in a while right. Also the visualisation of Charity smuggling in tons of Muggle supplies to show everyone and none of them have a clue what any of it means except from Snape, halfblood, who thinks it's funny, and Aurora, a pureblood, who just has a hunch that you aren't supposed to use that walkman to make toast.

But hey, let's not pretend they are suddenly saints. They still all wanna become death eaters (Charity and Aurora as the exception) amd they still are all blood purists. I just think a little push in the right direction of character growth, a triwizard tournament, and unexpected allys could really create some yummy scenario's ^_^

(Also I'm a huge Charity Burbage fan so any content with her just makes me happy)

Charity: Oh, fiddlesticks.

Severus: Look, I understand this is a tense situation, but let's watch the fucking language

[ellii0tt]

(staff room, afternoon)

McGonagall: ... Why does Filius keep looking at you in such a strange manner, Severus?

Snape: (sipping coffee whilst marking) I don't know what you mean.

McGonagall: Why, he keeps glancing at you, as though he's afraid you're about to drop dead any moment.

Snape:

Snape: ...I may or may not have informed Filius about the function of the liver and lungs yesterday evening.

McGonagall:

McGonagall: ...I don't see how that-

Snape: I told him that my organs must be practically decomposed from myself breathing in toxic fumes and testing potions since an adolescent. Then, of course, as Potion's Master. I suspect that from that moment onwards, Filius wholeheartedly believes that I am mortally ill.

McGonagall:

Snape: What? Did you really think repeatedly making poisons and draughts of living death isn't going to have consequences on my health?

Snape: *coughs loudly*

Flitwick: (watery sniffling from behind piles of marking at the other table)

Snape: *smirks*

McGonagall:

McGonagall: You are despicable.

Snape: I am completely and utterly hilarious, Minerva.
