Hi, with the help of @plecotusauritus I made a new game. Using these parameters, you get to make up your own crime of Sirius Black

Peak dynamic

i fear that when i write the cannibal au it's gonna be so based on my english dissertation. like i'm just gonna constantly be referencing paradise lost (bellajames' abusive relationship that leads to bella making james kill & cannibalise), hannibal (will & hannibal as prongsfoot, esp with the dog & deer symbolism), referencing montaigne's of cannibals, with lily's cannibalism i'm gonna be referencing heavily bloom by dawson & like sightseers. like. at this point. i fear it's gonna be referencing literature i explored in my diss like every other paragraph.

When will people understand Snape was not a victim and the marauders WERE NOT in the right? Both can be true people

Snape was a racist. Full stop.

Snape was an extremist. Full stop.

Snape USED SECTUMSEMPRA SO OFTEN IT WAS HIS SIGNATURE.

Snape hung around people who COMMITTED HATE CRIMES ON SCHOOL GROUNDS.

Snape literally stalked The Marauders.

He was already on the way of becoming a death eater, too. The war started in NINETEEN FUCKING SEVENTY. Not their fifth year. Not their sixth. Not their seventh or after that. A whole year before they went to Hogwarts. And still he aligned himself with people who were essentially nazi wannabes.

And he DID fight back. He initiated things too. It wasn’t this one-sided attack.

With that being said, The Marauders weren’t saints in the situation either.

Ganging up on him 4v1 (because let’s be so real, AT LEAST Remus would probably jump in if needed to back up James and Sirius.) isn’t the best thing to do.

IMO, it’s quite obvious that the reason they did what they did (I won’t call it bullying because…It wasn’t.) is because 1. He was a death eater wannabe, death eaters were most likely COMMITTING WAR CRIMES AT SCHOOL, people were going missing, etc. it was some form of vigilante justice, likely focused on Snape because he was the easiest one to target. 2. Because James didn’t like his dynamic with Lily. 3. Because Sirius was just…Cruel. He thought it was entertaining. 4. Because Snape was LITERALLY STALKING THEM.

Now, I won’t lie and say Snape’s social status didn’t play a part.

They wouldn’t have been able to get away with as much if he was a wealthy pureblood. Now, do I think this is THE REASON they hate him? No, not really. But he had no outside family to demand reparations like other wannabe death eaters likely did.

If they chose one of the wealthier ones, there would be much more fallout.

Snape apologists genuinely PMO though. Like, the ENTIRE SCHOOL PLUS THE FACULTY were bullying him?

I get James and Sirius were rich kids. But A CROWD OF STUDENTS would not have cheered them on and participated and laughed just because they’re rich.

Students with no relation.

We can see from McGonagoll in the future that favor isn’t just given to the rich.

She wouldn’t have just looked the other way, unless it was because he was QUITE LITERALLY SECTUMSEMPRAING PEOPLE.

A spell, mind you, THAT CAN KILL PEOPLE. That slices and dices them up.

Levicorpus was SNAPE’S SPELL. A spell Snape likely made for his wannabe death eater buddies to torment muggleborns.

And before you say ‘Snape’s a halfblood he can’t be wizard racist’!

He 1000% can.

And just because he’s poor, halfblooded, and a victim of abuse doesn’t mean he’s exempt from consequence.

I know many people in his situation. I know mixed race kids who grew up broke in abusive households that never joined extremist racist factions. I know many people who are mixed and racist to something they’re mixed with.

It’s possible. It can happen.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO valid reason to join the equivalent of the NAZI PARTY unless you were forced, and even then…There’s still the question if you’re exempt from consequence.

Snape was very obviously not forced, AND he was inner circle.

That says so much.

So, yeah, Snape wasn’t a victim.

But The Marauders weren’t exactly saints either. HOWEVER, they’re far more justified in this situation, imo, than Snape is. (But still, like I said, not pure little angels.)

So, yeah. Snape apologists can argue with me all they want, I don’t care. And Marauders apologists trying to exempt them of any sort of nuance/accountability are weird.

Point blank.

(Note: The Marauders WERE NOT perfect. Like I’ve stated, they can be very cruel. And Remus and Peter WERE NOT much better than James and Sirius. And I’m not saying they didn’t have more privilege/privilege, because THEY DID. But this conflict isn’t just ‘Poor halfblood vs. rich purebloods’.)

What happened to queerdeadwizards? I remember you two were were close blogs and you wrote fanfiction and ran the dorlene fest together? Did they leave the fandom?

uh yeah she kinda left but comes back to post occasionally, changed her blog name to @loserboyfriendrjl

she left a while ago which is why we stopped the fic & i do the dorlene fest by myself now.

dorcas fell for a yapper

[enbysiriusblack]

i came up with options for the new poll war. these are the options i thought of: strongest marauders era character (i don't think i did this one in the past but i may be wrong), most final girl in a horror film, or best romantic relationship (ik i've done best relationship before but i did allow platonic relationships in that so this would be purely romantic/sexual ships)

any preferences for which one i do??

[enbysiriusblack]

your only job on this earth is to be so intrinsically yourself that the right people gravitate toward you and the wrong people move out of your way

[enbysiriusblack]
