“It’s true! Look, how they shine for you…”

“Look, how they shine for you, and all the things that you do…” (“Yellow” by Coldplay)

Today, I want to share a personal story with you…something, I’ve experienced about two weeks ago.

As some of you might know, I’m living in my very own Snape-museum-like chamber, which is dedicated to my beloved Severus and the Wizarding World in general. Since I’m suffering from this cruel disease ME/CFS, I’m not capable of leaving the darkness and solitude of my room anymore. So, surrounding myself with my already 21 years lasting passion for Severus in memorabilia and artworks, is my way of coping with my loneliness and my sadness. Every single piece of my collection is like a patch of consolation…sewed together into a huge comfort blanket, which embraces me to soothe my troubled heart.

For this reason, I get notifications, whenever someone offers another rare item of Severus Snape online. This time, I found an extremely interesting and beautiful sideboard, which was skilfully painted and decorated. Unfortunately, this object was 600 kilometres away from my home, so I couldn’t ask anyone, if they could pick it up for me. Despite the fact, that I wouldn’t be able to buy this cabinet, I contacted the owner of it with the only intention to congratulate her for her beautiful design of this unique piece of furniture….and suddenly, we found ourselves in a nice chat about Severus Snape and his meaning for us.

She showed me a delicate pencil drawing of Severus, which she had made and I was immediately in love with it. After presenting her my own art collection on my walls, she offered me her drawing as a present. And now, I’m allowed to share it with you all! Thank you, J. Holdman, for your act of pure kindness and compassion. You’re an incredibly empathetic and thoughtful person and I’m grateful for meeting you online.

Commissioning artworks has become my favourite coping mechanism, even though it’s currently more difficult for me, since my savings are shrinking and my regular income isn’t paid anymore, due to my disability. I feel bad, that I can’t add every single drawing to my walls, but my room isn’t very big (and some of them would also be inappropriate for my children’s eyes 😏). Sadly, I’m struggling a lot with the acceptance of daylight and illumination, lately. But once a day, I’m switching on a little lamplight to enjoy my art gallery for some minutes (by wearing sunglasses).

My beloved friend Miri helped me again to rearrange my whole gallery. You’re invited to grab a piece of my joy by having a glimpse at my collection. Please feel free to enjoy these masterpieces of art! Most of them are drawings of Severus and my, indeed, very self-inserted OC Jules! 🥹

Credits for these mesmerising pieces of art in my room go out to (there’s no order, I’m going through my gallery, whilst I’m writing this):

You all…and all the other artists of Snapedom, I’ve already commissioned, but also all those other persons, I’ve met here on tumblr, are my lights in this dark time…my stars…my yellow! There are no words to express my gratitude…so I just leave it like that. Thank you. ✨

HEAR YE HEAR YE

Hello all!

This is a new Snape-dedicated blog; I’ve been #prosnape for years, and have written about various Snape+ ships, but this is the first time I’ve made a dedicated blog for our favorite flouncing fellow. It was high time, in any case. Edit: My OTP is Snamione, but I also like the other Snape+ ships as well, I’m fairly open-minded with it. I am a fan of bad guys and villains and misunderstood characters across the board. I’m a multi-shipper.

All people are welcome here. Let it be said that I am not a supporter of JK Rowling’s views and statements and behavior which have come to light in recent years. I am far too aware of the antisemitic, transphobic and homophobic themes that were prevalent in the canon, which is why I much prefer supporting headcanons and fan-creations to the original content. While I respect the need to boycott the HP series and I do not purchase or follow any ongoing sequels to the series myself, I still enjoy reading and writing fanfiction derived from the series itself, as I believe fanfiction is original and creative work, and the writers and artists should have good readership/exposure, since they work hard at what they do.

I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and therefore cannot promote JK’s current, or future work. I did grow up with the books, however, and therefore it’s only expected that I did like and end up relating — in some way and at some point — to a few of the fictional characters in the books, Snape included. On that note I don’t think it’s bad to continue supporting fanfiction writers of the series, because their work is fantastic.

So I will be posting Snape related content, headcanons, and will promote the fanfiction and fanart that I love, as well as inspo posts. Occasionally I might share my own work, though that will be less frequent.

My DMs, Asks, Requests and Inbox are always open. Anon setting is activated for those of you who need it.

My blog is a safe zone for all ships.

Edit: I recently celebrated 300ish and 400ish and 500ish followers. Related posts are linked ^.

Edit: My current cover art is “That’s Absurd Snape™️” by @dranna. The cover art which i will use on and off again comes from this post by @the-mudbloods-will-conquer xxx

Thank you kindly for reading.

Edit: My new platform for Snape fics is Severusish on fanfiction-dot-net. My new AO3 is Severusish.

Edit: sideblogs are @professorseverus and @rumpleschtiltskin

DNI: Anyone is welcome, provided people are nice. This is a no-hate, no-anything-rude-at-all, entirely safe space blog. Anyone who acts otherwise will be booted out, reported, etc., with flair, in true Severusish, Snapely style. I don’t tolerate meanies. Edit: I am generally anti-anti. If you see any posts of mine tagged with Anti-Snape, it’s just my sense of wry humor and it is not me being sincere/directing it at the Anti-Snapedom. If, as an Anti-Snaper, you see my post in your feed, please let me know if it bothers you and I’ll remove the tag. I’ve happily done it for Anti-Snapers before, I’m genuinely very laid back and I don’t mean anything seriously. If you have a request for me to add/change the tags in my posts, just let me know.

If you want to get my attention, use SPECIFIC tags and TAGS I CREATED (described below).

SPECIFIC TAGS: Asks or my original posts will be tagged under #severusish says, #severusish asks, #severusish draws, #severusish thoughts, #my fic, #original content, #my writing, #my work, and #original fic.

GENERAL TAGS: I tag my posts, generally, under: #prosnape, #snover, #snapedom, #snape community, #snape defender, #snape defence, #snape lover, #snape art, #snart, #snape fanart, #snape OTP, #snape shippers. Often you’ll find my stuff under the tag #snamione/snanger.

TAGS I CREATED: #severusish, #severusish thoughts, #severusish draws, #severusish says/asks, #snapers unite. #snoyalty, #sluterus/sluterus snape, #that’s absurd snape

A TAG I USE A LOT BUT CAN’T CLAIM CREDIT FOR BECAUSE IT WAS USED IN EXACTLY ONE POST BEFORE I STARTED USING IT: #snolidarity (not used in a snape context) #that’s absurd (used in a snape context)

I speak English and French fluently and I am learning Spanish. (I can understand it and speak it a bit, so if you’re Spanish feel free to swing by so I can practice my Spanish skills!)

Edit. I’m bored of making my age public in my bio. I’m old enough. Subject closed lmao

„In the dark of night, those faces, they haunt me…“

„I wish you were so close to me. Yes, I wish your were by my side…“ („By my side“ by INXS)

I’ve always had a special soft spot for Severus in his teenage years. This way too skinny, raven-haired boy with his adorably crooked nose and those beautiful - and yet so sad - obsidian eyes never failed to trigger some kind of an overprotective goddess of revenge in my heart.

There are nights, in which I‘m drowning in my thoughts about Sevy…writing my stories for him. My OC Jules (totally self-inserted…I admit it!) allows him to show his vulnerabilities in her presence. She’s protecting and defending him….in every aspect of his life.

This man deserves some love, respect and comfort…and that’s, what we all in our beloved Snapedom are granting him.

Some time ago, I’ve read a poem by Amanda Lovelace, which reminded me of the consolation and comfort, I’d wanted to give to Severus. I want to share it with you (please ignore my scribble…that’s exactly the reason, why I’m commissioning art from all the incredibly talented artists of Snapedom 😅):

The artwork on top of this post was a gift from my friend @exlibrisseverus and I love everything about it! The whole mood in your beautiful drawing makes my heart aching for Severus…makes me wanting to fix the whole goddamn world for him.

@exlibrisseverus, you’re a gem of a human soul and I’m beyond grateful that I was allowed to get to know you better. Your resilience and your strength are - just like Severus’s - extremely inspiring to me, my friend and I hope, that you will stay in touch with me! 🖤🥹 Thank you so much for each kind word, for each recommendation and of course for this stunning piece of art!

🖤Sevy & Jules🖤

“Oh, breathe, just breathe…”

“'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable. And life's like an hourglass glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands and breathe, just breathe…” (“Breathe (2AM)” by Anna Nalick)

Sometimes, you just have to accept, that there are things, that can’t be changed or fixed anymore…at least not right now. I guess, I’m more and more coming to terms with this insight, considering the fact, that it just doesn’t make sense to wrap my head around the reason for my disease ME/CFS.

I can’t alter my previous decisions. For the past two years, I’ve blamed myself for catching Covid on an Open Air concert of my German favourite punk rock band “Die Ärzte”…especially viewed in the context that I avoided social gatherings since late 2019 because of my medicinal immune suppression. But when I got these tickets as a gift in 2022, my brain must have shut down and I started to belittle the potential risks of catching the virus by telling myself, that I would stand in the back of the crowd, beneath the open sky. This was also the first occasion, when I didn’t wear my mask…after enduring being bullied and mocked for wearing masks everywhere and rejecting every single invitation to parties and simple get-togethers.

Well…only one week later, my life- as I knew it before - came to an abrupt halt. I don’t want to go into detail about my current situation in this post. Whoever knows me and also my prior posts, is probably already fed up with my complaints about ME/CFS and its results for my life.

So, all I can do now, is to breathe. Deliberately slowly…breathing in…and breathing out. Calming my nerves…soothing my troubled mind with my fantasies of Severus and my absolutely self-inserted OC Jules…

I’ve commissioned someone new for this project. Someone different from all those lovely artists of Snapedom, who I regularly contacted for my usual coping mechanism of commissioning artworks of Sevy and Jules.

This time, I reached out to @pinklovecharm, an incredibly kind and understanding artist, who made me speechless with this drawing. I asked her to help my imagination of Severus and Jules, being on a walk in the forest, come to life.

I can’t tell you, how much I’m missing this simple activity of enjoying the autumn sunshine and some fresh air on a walk in the woods. In my fantasy, Severus would apparate us to a secluded path in the middle of the forest, wrapping his arm around my waist to support my steps. We wouldn’t talk much…but Severus would remind me of the importance of breathing…and he would exercise it with me…patiently waiting for me to eventually calm down. He’s my safe haven…my home.

My dear Sadie, you can’t imagine, how much you soothed my soul with your mesmerising art and your kind-heartedness. You really achieved to put me into my OC Jules…with all her emotions and physical attributes….and you even integrated my cane into your drawing! Normally, I don’t show my reference pictures publicly, but I’m too impressed by your dedication to the details of my appearance, that I can’t stop myself from presenting them here. Thank you for everything, you wonderful person! I hope, we’ll stay in touch and that I may commission you again.

“And after all this time I’m still into you…”

“Some things just make sense, and one of those is you and I…” (“Still into you” by Paramore)

After all my devastating last posts, which were full of pathetic self-pity (gosh, I’m apologising for my whiny complaints about my so-called life circumstances), I’ve decided to focus my mind on some more pleasant things.

Since I can’t leave my dark room anymore, due to this fucking bitch of a disease ME/CFS, I will try to do the same thing, that I’ve done when I couldn’t leave my bed for months in my pregnancies many years ago. I’m clinging on Severus for 21 years, so I’ll take it a step further by imagining all the things, I can’t do anymore (and damn, that’s a lot!) …but in my vivid fantasy I’m doing them with him!

So, for this beautiful artwork of Severus and his wife Julia, I’ve commissioned the lovely @opalchalice again. I asked her, if she could draw them on a night out, leaving the “Three Broomsticks” after a wild night of drinking and dancing (well…Julia danced on the table. Severus watched the weird behaviour of his wife with a half annoyed and half amused smirk on his lips 😅). And yes, we already know, that Severus will give her a potion against her headache later…probably mixed with a small amount of the Wit-Sharpening-Potion to make her come to her senses again. 😂

Thank you, Lia for this beautiful piece of art! I’m really happy with the outcome of my cheerful imagination and you really helped to let me see some light in my darkness. Thank you for everything, my friend!

And for now, I’ll keep fantasising that Severus would brew a Fever Reducing Potion for me to help me through my current crash of my disease. He’ll be there for me…just like he has been there for the past 21 years…

My light of the day…

I’m going through hell right now, especially since I’ve accidentally poisoned myself with a bunch of different medications. This current phase of PEM (post-exertional malaise) is my personal limbo. It’s also the reason, why I’m so silent here currently. My brain refuses to form coherent sentences.

But yesterday, my children brought me a light to my dark room. A light, written down in kind words on a greeting card…spiced up with these beautiful stickers! Thank you so much, @snapecentric!! Since I’m having some trouble with finding the perfect words to express my gratitude, I’ll use this quote by Albert Schweitzer, instead:

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” (Albert Schweitzer)

Feel hugged, my dear! 🫂🖤🥹 I’m sending you a light back.
