#god i laughed so hard writing this that i went down to the cornershop still laughing

I'd say Jamespiracy and Snrojection (dying at these names btw lol) most definitely go perfectly hand in hand, because after all Snape was the founding father and the creator of Jamespiracy movement and belief system with how he refused to believe that James wasn't involved in the prank and simply wouldn't want him killed despite hating him, with how he believed only the worst of him. Similarly now his fans and followers and Snrojectioners are following his footsteps and would rather believe the absolute worst of him, even when it goes against author's intent or doesn't make sense and even they have a hard time making it make sense lol, but they'd still rather do that than give him an ounce of the benefit of the doubt and accurate source text reading.

lmao!! okay this did make me laugh- I am also a fan and a follower of snape though so I really don't want to generalise, much less hurt anyone's feelings. everyone is free to project/snroject and develop their own interpretations on their own blogs. I follow many snape fans who seem like lovely thoughtful intelligent people and I'm sure that is the majority. I also want to state that from what I've seen snape fans put up with a lot of bullshit and so to me it's understandable that many would be defensive of their favourite character. like lbr marauders fans can be just as guilty of any of this (see below) and we should all be friends about it imo

so in the interest of that I'm going to 1) steer this into entirely nonserious territory 2) generally talk more about the characters than the fans

first, to be absolutely fair I would say there is such a thing as snapespiracy and..... prongjection. Although in the case of prongjection in fandom it's probably more about prongjecting (god) sexual/romantic fantasies onto him because james stans tend to treat him more like the ideal boyfriend from what I've seen rather than actually relating to him but idk. snapespiracy is much as it sounds, basically the belief that snape is the root of all evil and that he was corrupting all the innocent skittles to the dark side/deserved to be bullied because of his evil homophobic ways. ANYWAY:

snape is absolutely the no1 jamespiracy theorist. he is the tinfoil wearing jamespiracy theorist of all time, long after james is dead and you'd think there'd be no spiracy left. can we blame him? not really. but it's true.

conversely, the marauders are all snapespiracy theorists but particularly, in my mind, sirius. but obv also james. they created a failsafe in their map on the off-chance that snape would get it and that's pretty snapespiracy brained if you ask me.

curiously, harry is a diehard prongjector and a snapespiracy theorist who stops prongjecting and becomes a soft snrojector during SWM. He is then an unwitting snrojector throughout HBP because he snrojects hard onto the figure of the half-blood prince, unaware that it's snape. he's also a snapespiracy theorist at the same time though (disproving your theory that it goes hand in hand lol)

other notable snapespiracy theorists: ron, bellatrix other notable prongjectors: sirius but all the marauders. hagrid.
