Venting about the new casting decision for Snape

As some of y’all may know, I have several accounts dedicated entirely to Severus Snape. I’ve never connected so deeply with a fictional character before. There’s something about him that fascinates me endlessly—I love discovering new details about his personality, coming up with headcanons, drawing him, and just… living in his world. I relate to him on a really profound level. Honestly, I’m very much autistically obsessed with him.

But lately, I haven’t been able to find the same comfort in him as I used to. And it’s because of the new casting decision.

From the beginning, I hated the idea of this remake. I hate remakes in general, I hate J.K. Rowling, and I think this whole reboot is a massive waste of money and creativity. Still, the one thing that kept me mildly curious—maybe even a little excited—was the thought of seeing my favorite character brought to life in a fresh and possibly deeper way.

Then came the rumors. When I first heard people talking about a Black actor being cast as Severus, I scoffed. I told those around me it was probably just fake news meant to stir up engagement online. I even joked that if anything, he’d probably be Kingsley Shacklebolt, not Snape.

But then it was confirmed.

And I’m honestly embarrassed to admit how much it affected me. I haven’t been able to engage with anything Harry Potter-related since. I feel angry—not because of the actor’s race, but because of the blindness and laziness in these creative decisions. When are we going to understand that race is not just about skin color? It carries history, culture, trauma, and lived experience. As a brown woman, I know firsthand what racism feels like. I’ve been bullied—by friends and even family—for the color of my skin.

Changing Snape’s race changes his character entirely. The Harry Potter universe is already deeply flawed: it’s racist, misogynistic, and lacks meaningful representation. This isn’t new. But I truly thought we had moved forward.

I feel disturbed, and honestly kind of ashamed. I’ve had to remind myself over and over again that it’s just fiction.

Why Snape, though? His appearance is one of the most iconic in the whole series—his greasy black hair, his hooked nose, his pale skin. These aren’t just superficial traits; they symbolize who he is: a man shaped by poverty, trauma, neglect, and bullying at the hands of wealthy white purebloods.

Why not choose a character whose story wouldn’t be fundamentally altered by such a change? Why not build a new character, with new stories and experiences, instead of erasing the core of an existing one?

Fuck these series and fuck jk Rowling. What a fucking joke

Ups I went a bit off the rails here but hope you still like it☺️

Severus as a vampire hcs

Credit to @intotheswollenriver for inspiring me

I personally would feel like it would be a Dhampir situation for Severus. His mother is a vampire, and his father is obviously human

The Prince family would've been one of the few vampire families still existing, and they would've originated from Romania

Severus would not be as powerful as a normal full blooded vampire, but since he is also a wizard, he would still be considered powerful

Eileen fed him blood when he was younger, but Severus didn't know.

Severus wouldn't know he was a vampire until either before he got his Hogwarts letter or after

As he grew up, his normal human scent changed into a scent similar to death, and his fangs started coming in slowly

Lily would NOT know he was a vampire or, in this case, half vampire.

Severus (I feel) would've hated drinking blood from both animals and humans when he was younger (you can't tell me he wasn't sensitive about that) but he went for animal blood since it somewhat satisfied him

Severus would've had a suspicion about Remus much earlier due to his scent of wet dog, which separated him from every other witch and wizard around them

Similar to Wolfsbane, he would've made himself a potion of his own creation to become a blood substitute to satisfy his cravings. He makes enough to last him years (he's prepared)

His powers/abilities other than magic, potions, and alchemy would include enhanced strength, speed, heightened senses, and maybe even compulsion

Normally, Severus would have control, and he would be able to retract his fangs and hide any of his vampire features.

When his hunger gets too much, his eyes will turn dark blood red to light blood red, his fangs will show, he'll become fidgety, his senses will kick in overdrive, and he'll become overwhelmed. It will also become very difficult for him to stop from ripping everyone around him apart, but he manages to make it.

When he goes into a frenzy, it will take minutes up to a few hours to calm down and gather himself. He also makes sure to isolate himself very deep into the forbidden forest with lots of animal prey and no human scent in his sight or in his vicinity

He goes into the forbidden forest, not just for ingredients for his potions but to also hunt and to "set the beast free" along with train and control his vampire abilities

After the 'prank', Remus found out about Severus's vampire side, and Severus made sure that Lupin wouldn't breathe a word of his secret to anyone, especially his friends or else he will take Lupin down with him

I want to believe he can also turn into a bat (i will leave that to you all to decide)

He hates the sunlight or sunny days (no. It can't kill him. It just annoys him and gives him headaches)

Prefers cloudy days

Dumbledore obviously knows

Severus self-taught himself control from a very young age since there wasn't anyone to help teach him

Similar to Rosalie from Twilight, he won't drink the blood from bad people. He will probably see it as tainted or bad.

He saw himself as a monster for a very long time, and he still does to this day

He ages more slowly than normal people due to his vampire blood

His appearance will be normal. Pale skin, skinny, black eyes, black hair, and roman nose. But his vampire blood will sharpen his features and some of his bone structure, build him a little muscle but nothing too noticeable, paler than usual, his hair will have something more to it than normal (idk what, tho), and his gaze and presence will also have an unspoken power to it

Voldemort, along with many of the death eaters, doesn't know about him being a Dhampir

The only people who truly know about his vampire side are Lucius, Narcissa, Regulus, Remus, and Dumbledore (Regulus figured it out by himself)

Lucius and Narcissa both have given Severus their permission to feed off them if needed

Remus is very frightened of Severus, but he feels some sense of common ground with Severus because he's not the only dark creature he knows of anymore.

Severus (much to his deep regret) granted Remus access to Severus's hunting grounds in the forbidden forest, so Lupin can "wolf out" every full moon without endangering lives.

Severus has cast many protection and glamor spells on the hunting grounds, so that way no one other than himself and Lupin had access to the hunting grounds and no one outside can enter the area

Vampire blood can heal wounds and is often used in healing potions

Severus is immune to garlic and crosses, but pure silver stings him a little bit but not fatally

He can eat normal food

Has tasted werewolf blood before, but it tasted unappealing and disgusting like acid

Has tasted human blood on more than one occasion, but it's like sugar to him. Very addicting and difficult to control, but he manages through it

[goodd4yss]

snippet from a snulciber fic where severus has just been turned into a vampire following the shrieking shack incident, and has to hide his new state whilst discovering himself and the person who turned him. i will probably never write so please let me know if you decide to.

CHAPTER ONE

Severus awoke to searing pain.

It felt as though his very skin was being torn apart from the inside out, an unbearable pressure building in his chest, constricting his lungs until they ached for air. His throat was raw, a tightness burning where it shouldn't. The hunger—an insatiable, feral hunger—clawed at him from deep inside, urging him to drink, to feed, but all he could do was writhe in the agonizing pain that ripped through his body. His hands reached for his throat instinctively, desperate to stop the fire from consuming him, but they were seized and pulled away with surprising strength.

"Severus, you must hold still!" Madam Pomfrey’s voice came to him, frantic, but a strange edge of fear tinged her usual calm. "Please, just... stay with me."

His vision blurred in and out of focus, the world around him spinning, the dim light of the room flickering and then fading. A murmur of voices surrounded him—distant, muffled. He barely registered them, too consumed by the terror and pain to comprehend the words.

"Albus... What do we do? I can't..." Madam Pomfrey’s voice faltered.

The world tilted once more, and then he felt the cold, merciless void take him.

---

The next time Severus came to, he didn’t know where he was.

He didn’t know if it was day or night. He didn’t know if his body was even his own anymore. The room was dark, but there was something... different about it. It was as though the darkness pressed against him, suffocating and omnipresent. His senses were sharper—he could smell the faintest trace of something metallic in the air, could feel the cool stone floor beneath him even without touching it.

His throat burned—no, itched—with a hunger that he couldn’t quite place, something deeper than any craving he'd ever known before. He tried to move but his limbs felt stiff, uncoordinated, as if they weren’t fully his own. The hunger gnawed at him again, and he realized, with growing horror, that it wasn’t just physical pain. It was a deep, gnawing emptiness inside of him—something vital missing, something essential.

He forced himself to sit up, his head swimming, everything feeling wrong in ways he couldn't describe. His eyes stung in the dark, but as he blinked, the room began to take shape around him.

A small sink in the corner, a wooden shelf stacked with unfamiliar objects. He turned, his gaze snapping to a bedside table—a simple, unadorned thing, with a single, limp lily flower resting in a vase that seemed so strangely mundane for the strangeness of this moment. His mind recoiled, his thoughts frantically spinning, trying to make sense of where he was, why he was here.

And then—it came.

The memory—the incident—flooded him. The Shrieking Shack. The werewolf. The horrible, unthinkable pain. Lupin. Lupin, and then—there was someone else. Someone who had been there.

Someone who had saved him.

But no—no. It couldn’t be. Not a werewolf—he had been saved by something else. Something... darker. He felt the strange, foreign awareness creeping under his skin, making him tremble. His body. His mind. All of it felt wrong now. He was no longer human, not truly. Something had changed him, and in this moment, he realized he might never be the same again.

The First Taste

vampire severus snape's first taste of blood

tw: mentions of vampirism & drinking blood

The room was small and dim, its only light a single lantern hung on a rusted hook. The flickering flame threw uneven shadows across the cracked stone walls, making the space feel smaller, like a cell. Severus Snape stood in the center, his shoulders hunched, his hands hidden in the folds of his robes. He was still wearing the mask of a man, but inside, he was something else entirely, something he loathed.

The man sitting before him was thin, his skin pale and greasy, as though he had been leeched of vitality long before this night. He reeked of desperation. A wizard who had once known better days, but now lived in the gutters of Knockturn Alley, offering his blood to monsters for coin. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, his words trembling as he tried to sound brave.

“Just… just make it quick, yeah?” He laughed, a brittle, humorless sound. “I don’t need to know what it’s like.”

Snape didn’t answer. His throat was tight, and his stomach churned. He had tried to resist this moment, clinging to the tattered remnants of his humanity, but resistance had become impossible. The hunger was a living thing inside him, writhing and clawing at the edges of his mind, whispering that he could delay no longer.

He stepped forward, his boots scraping against the stone. The man flinched, shrinking back, but didn’t move to leave. There was nowhere to go. The deal had been struck, the galleons exchanged.

Snape’s hand trembled as he reached out, the pale skin of his fingers brushing against the man’s neck. The pulse beneath was weak, uneven, but it was there. It thrummed against his fingertips, a rhythm that made his teeth ache. His mouth felt dry and wet at the same time, his tongue heavy, his jaw tight.

“Do it,” the man said, his voice breaking. “Just get it over with.”

Snape’s lips curled back in a grimace, exposing teeth that no longer felt like his own. His fangs scraped against his lower lip, sharp enough to draw blood. The smell hit him first: a metallic tang that filled his nostrils, sharp and intoxicating. His body reacted before his mind could stop it, a low growl rumbling in his throat as he bent down.

The first bite was agony. For both of them.

The man gasped, his body jerking, but Snape held him firm, his hands gripping his shoulders with a strength that felt monstrous. The skin gave way too easily beneath his teeth, the flesh parting with a sickening wetness. And then the blood came.

It flooded his mouth in a hot, coppery rush, coating his tongue, his throat, his teeth. The taste was overwhelming, rich and complex, a thousand sensations at once. Sweet and bitter. Thick and hot. Alive. He swallowed reflexively, and the hunger surged forward, obliterating everything else.

For a moment, there was no room for thought, no room for shame. Only the blood, pouring into him, filling the void that had been gnawing at him for days. It was ecstasy and revulsion intertwined, a pleasure so sharp it felt like pain. His hands tightened on the man’s shoulders, claws digging into flesh as he drank deeper, his body trembling with the force of it.

The man whimpered, his strength fading, his head lolling to the side. Snape could hear his heartbeat slowing, each beat weaker than the last. And then the shame came crashing down, drowning him in its cold, suffocating weight. He wrenched himself away, blood dripping from his mouth, his chest heaving.

The man slumped forward, his breaths shallow, his skin ashen. Snape stared at him, horrified by what he had done, by what he had become. His hands were slick with blood, his mouth stained red. He wanted to scream, to claw at his own flesh, to rip the monster out of himself. But it was too late. The monster was him.

“Take your gold,” Snape said, his voice hollow, barely above a whisper. He tossed the pouch onto the floor, the coins spilling out, clinking against the stone. The man didn’t move, his eyes glassy, his body trembling.

Snape turned away, his robes swirling around him as he fled into the shadows, the taste of blood still thick in his mouth. He didn’t bother to wipe it away. It would stay with him, no matter how much he tried to forget.

It was his first taste, and it would not be his last.

Vampire severus snape

[astronova-00]

vampire severus needs to exist more. like it’s fucking perfect. imagine this…

“Threaten me all you want Lupin…you can’t turn a dark creature again.” Severus smugly smirked as he let his fangs come into light. Leaving Remus with a shocked look in his eyes, and his jaw slacked on the floor.

Apparently I didn’t realise just how many vampire snape WIPs I have. 🫡

@hprecfest Day 27: A Smokin' Hot Fic

Immortal Claim by ladyofsilverdawn [Harry/Severus, E, 16k]

Harry needs Snape's cooperation to solve a case, but navigating vampiric culture and Snape's powerful allure proves more challenging than he anticipates.

This is, I think, the first rated E fic that I ever read for Snarry and, uh, yeah. I love creature fics a lot, and this one with Vampire Severus is no exception. This fic has got desire paired with fate and those are two of my favorite things in a ship dynamic—when characters really wants to get it on and the universe really wants them to. Definitely not the most risqué fic I've ever read, but it is one of my most re-visited smut fics and for good reason.

[maya-morphosis]

Prompt: SIGH

How he loved the way she would surrender to him. 

The heavy sigh that escaped her perfect lips as her head lolled back, exposing the sweet, tender skin of her neck to him. Knowing she would clench to him tighter at the sharp bite of his teeth sinking into her flesh. The taste of her blood, her life, coating his tongue.

It made him crave her all the more. This delicious witch of his. 

Severus rained soft, hot kisses down the column of her throat, smiling against her skin as he heard his favorite sigh of surrender. Mine. All mine.

[cassandrrian]

Oof, I forgot about this account.
