hey, has anybody written the fic yet where dean and sam are a ghost hunting team
BUT
dean is a skeptic and sam is a believer?
so they go investigate claims from people that write into their blog and each one tries to present their case to the families so they can decide what truth they want to believe. dean brings in a CO2 detector and mold test kits, checks for doors that aren't installed properly and swing open on their own, or faulty wiring under electronics that makes them turn on by themselves; sam tries some psychic mumbo jumbo and light witchcraft, occasionally praying, reaching out, and picking up "energy" in the home, he's a lot more touchy-feely with the people being haunted and wants to believe them.
dean is very long-suffering about all this and loves proving sam wrong. sam gets very smug when he stumps dean with some twist of new knowledge. sometimes the two have to come together and wonder if, in some cases, it's better to just let people believe in ghosts.
idk i just think the skeptic/believer dynamic would be SO fun for a case fic!!!

Yet another idiotic James Potter Stan on tik tok. This one has claimed that James and Sirius were much like the Weasley twins because they "bullied students" 🙄.
James and Sirius canonicaly hexed students on a whim. Not just Snape, he was their main target yes but he wasn't the only one. Lily herself claimed that James hexed people in the hallways.
"stfu Snape was not a good person, let's not forget he joined a cult because HE WANTED TO nobody forced him"
Snape was a good person, not a nice person, let me just say that. Yes Snape joined the death eaters because he wanted to. But what were the circumstances? Someone doesn't just be like "oh I'm going to join a murderous cult that thinks people of my blood status or similar are dirt at the bottom of their boots." Like girl, no one does that. Snape was a half-blood, he was technically a mudblood as well. Snape could have very well been brainwashed to some degree by his housemates, or having heard the same arguments over and over and over again he probably started to believe it. The same with hearing the word mudblood being used. Snape is a product of his environment.
"the marauders were fun"
Okay maybe they were, maybe they genuinely played actual pranks instead of just "pranking" one student and tormenting him so badly that people find it funny when he gets flipped upside down and has his underwear put on full display. They find that fun, so I wouldn't really describe them as fun. Their fun came at the expense of someone else.
"that's no excuse"
They tell me this after I said that Snape joined the death eaters after Hogwarts and on top of that Sirius himself didn't even know Snape was marked until Snape revealed his mark to Fudge after Voldemort's revival.
You can't use "oh but he was a blood supremacist death eater scum incel" like no. Even if he was that doesn't give you the right to constantly torment him so bad that he has to create spells to defend himself. Spells let me tell you that can kill.
"They were enemies"
Okay I'll give you that, to some degree. They did hate each other. Snape had a valid reason, James's reason was because Snape existed. That's not a real reason tbh.
"Pete (Peter) and Remus didn't even do anything. It was James and Sirius"
Remus was a prefect in his fifth year. A prefects job is to interfere when bullying happens, make sure the students are following rules etc. Remus stood by and watched James and Sirius torment Snape up to the point that whenever Snape sees them coming his way he's whipping his wand out in self defense. That's a trauma response, it's similar to how someone would lift their hands up to shield their face (awaiting a blow to the head or something similar). Peter also stood by and watched, we don't know much about how he was within the group but he enjoyed watching James and Sirius tormenting Snape he wouldn't have done anything to stop it either.
"it's not like Snape didn't hex back"
I would hex back to if someone was targetting me for no reason. Someone hits me I hit back. It's just how it goes. He's defending himself. Like defending one's self doesn't make them evil.
"Remus wasn't the only prefect"
No but his friends would listen to him. And it's not like the other prefects would have wanted to get involved. Remember you saying people thought it was fun? Yeah prefects involved.
"if Snape was simply nice"
I believe when Snape was younger he was nice. He was still young and innocent and Lily liked him enough then. (Tho Lily also ended up befriending the marauders and marrying his tormentor so maybe she doesn't have the best judgement.) But it's not like they even gave him the chance to be nice. Snape mentioned wanting to be in Slytheirn and right away James's bias came out, even when Sirius mentioned that his entire family has always been in Slytheirn. I wholeheartedly believe that if Sirius had been sorted into Slytherin that James would have targetted him as well. That is if he had targetted and tormented them. I mean maybe not if Sirius ended up still tormenting Snape.
Also why is it only upon Snape to have been nicer. Why not James and Sirius, and don't give me that bs claim that they were already nice. Sure they were nice to their friends but not the people they target.
----------
They went on to ask me not to call them a girl. I use "girl!!?!" As an emphasis in general just putting that out there. They then went on to call James & Sirius vs Snape a rivarly.
"rivalry"
I'm definitely not going into the whole "it was a rivalry" thing. Like google is free. Go learn the definition before you spew bullshit.. even more then you already have.
"We only saw things from Snape's pov"
And we also hear things from Sirius and Remus, who were two of James's closest friends. Changing POVs doesn't change what happened. It just changes the lense you see it through. Harry himself was a biased narrator so when Harry thinks Snape is evil and that Snape should die the readers (normally) think that as well. Like Harry, Sirius and Remus are biased towards James just like Snape is biased against Gryffindors and James/Harry.
Sirius claimed that SWM was fun, he showed no remorse for what had happened and both Remus and Sirius defended James's actions despite it being an unprovoked attack.
We also never saw the full memory.
"we never saw what happened before that"
I mean I'm guessing you're still talking about SWM, but we do, we do see the entire thing. From the ending of their OWL test to when they went outside. We saw it all. Sirius was bored and Snape was just sitting there. James went up completely unprovoked.
The fact that they believe SWM was a provoked attack says a lot. We also have no idea how it ended because Snape pulled Harry out of his pensive. James Potter could have well taken off Snapes underwear and NO ONE would have stopped him.
After that last comment they just responded with "whatever helps you sleep at night" which normally when they don't want to continue arguing means they've got nothing left to say. So, yeah, that just happens.
Also this post is much longer then I was expecting it to be
