Defending Severus Snape is not enough. I need a fucking gun

Yes, he killed me.

Like this post if you get killed too.

I'm very late to be jumping on the bandwagon, but I'm so confused that some people are surprised that Guillermo del Toro, a person who helped create

a film where the protagonists are sheltering in an orphanage that's run by Republican loyalists and being targeted by Francisco Franco's bombs,

a film where the antagonists are occult Nazis (and Rasputin) who want to unleash eldritch beings upon the world,

a film where the major antagonist is a sociopathic Falangist captain who is hunting the Spanish Maquis, either murders or is responsible for the deaths of most of the rest of the cast, and might just be more monstrous than the child-eating monster with eyes in its' hands,

a book trilogy and a television series where one of the major antagonists is a Nazi, we're shown the wholly unsympathetic reasons for how and why he became a Nazi, he repeatedly targets, torments and tortures one of the major protagonists because he despises him for being Jewish, and in the final act of the story the vampires take over at least North America and put all the humans in camps to be farmed,

a film where the major antagonist is a cruel Colonel in the American army in the 1960s who tortures and plans to vivisect the imprisoned Amphibian Man, and is defied and thwarted by a mute woman, a Black woman, a gay man and a Russian spy,

and now a film where the characters suffer under the Italian Fascist regime, a little boy is forcibly recruited into the army alongside other children because he'll make 'the perfect soldier' and Mussolini is outright mocked to his face,

hates fascism???

Now where did that come from?????

“what will you give me in return?” is such an insane thing to say to someone who historically has Fuck All. even more insane to say when you are Aware that they have literally fucking nothing

I’ll forever be confused how we (the marauders fandom) looked at the whole cast of characters and concluded that the sarcastic ones were Remus and Regulus. I can’t recall Remus ever being sarcastic in canon, and the only words we get from Regulus are incredibly earnest and pompous and compared to Percy Weasley in tone.

While the characters who do engage in sarcasm—Sirius, Severus, and ‘cheeky’ Lily—are relegated to “too vapid to understand sarcasm", “pompous prat with no sense of humor” and “incredibly sweet until she’s not”.

I made this for another someone who needed a smidgen of kindness (they're a big Snape fan, hence our grumpy star center-stage, here). But tonight, I was feeling super frustrated with myself and quite exhausted after yet another night of not being as productive as I had set out to be. Did I work for another 3 hours after working a full day, including 1 hr of driving time, then errands, then cooking dinner? Yes. Is my wrist inflamed? Yes. So I realized I needed the Snape Drawing, too.

Maybe one of you needs the reminder as well. Take a breather ♡

Eve of fate

These are just my personal headcannons about Severus’s Clothing:

1. It is his armor against the rest of the world, a physical way to represent the shutting out of others, a kind of bodily Occlumency that makes him feel safe.

2. It is impossible as an adult to do to him what the Marauders did to him as a child, I.E strip off any part of his clothing. There are so many layers and buttons I image it makes him feel physically and sexually safe as well. No eyes where he doesn’t want them. No hands where he doesn’t want them. No Wands to remove what he doesn’t want removed. (Could he possibly enchant his clothing too; to make it impossible for someone besides himself to undress him?)

3. On a lighter note, it’s Victorian chic as hell. It’s Screaming Byronic Hero from a million miles away. Like something out of a Mary Shelly or Dracula novel, just so romantic and sweeping and refined looking. Goth King we stan.

Anti anxiety.

Acknowledging that women can be just as physically abusive and violent as men does NOT absolve male abusers of their crimes. Nor does it dismiss female victims claims of domestic violence towards them by said male abusers.

It just means that women are capable of doing bad things to people just like men.
