Since I really respect your opinions and find them quite similar to mine I want to ask about your opinions on Regulus Black. His personality, how he sees Sirius, why he regretted being a Death Eater etc.

Hi anon!! So nice to hear you like my opinions :)

Regulus Black is a character we don't really see much, but I respect him like I respect Snape for realising how Voldy and the DEs can ruin the life of so many people. Both Snape and Regulus defected because they couldn't bear the idea of their loved ones being harmed and probably realised others had it just as bad as them with the DEs in charge.

I think he was a good person deep down, if not good then certainly very capable of love. He was probably what the fandom claims Draco is, just a child pressured into following in his parents' footsteps. He certainly gets influenced really easily and is selfish like the earlier Snape we see, but he was also very brave and could've had excellent development if he'd lived.

From what we do see of Reg in canon, though:

Regulus probably bought into that whole pure bloods are better crap and he certainly seemed to have believed in the cause of the DE, was a fan, which is pretty obvious from the collage of cuttings in his room. Maybe he thought Voldy just wanted to harm muggleborns, and didn't really have much against house-elfs, or other creatures. Maybe that was something he couldn't align himself to, and drew the line at. Personally, I headcanon Reg to be an animal lover.

His relationship with Sirius:

Definitely very complicated, you can see that Sirius is soft for his brother, but doesn't think he was sensible enough to see that Voldemort was crazy. As an older sibling, I sometimes feel the same. You feel responsible for your younger siblings and think they don't know better than to do the wrong thing unwittingly.

I'm sure Regulus would've been close to Sirius pre-hogwarts, which explains why Sirius cared about him. They probably drifted apart since associating with Sirius, the rebel, would only make it worse for Reg. I'm sure Regulus had a lot of moments where he thought "only if Sirius would come to his senses, everything would be perfect" and probably was under great pressure from his family to amount to something within the death eaters since the Blacks' firstborn was such a disgrace to the household.

It seems pretty stupid to die the way that Reg did, but he was really young; and that, combined with his fear and sudden change of heart could be a possible explanation.

I love the replies in this post!! Homosnapiens >> Also thought I'd show you guys this since the cowards in the notes have blocked me and/or deleted their replies

This was just too hilarious not to be on my blog

If you think Snape only switched to the light side because he was horny for Harry's dead mom; I'm so sorry you've never had a real friend

[bloatsome]

I don't usually reply to (tbh, stupid) comments like this but since you and your friends have not yet understood that you need to leave correctly tagged posts alone if you don't like them, I'll go ahead *sighs*

But the prophecy said...

Yes it said thrice defied him and Snape didn't know who it was about, he clearly wouldn't tell voldemort if he actually knew. What sense does it make for him to doom Lily and then beg Dumbledore to protect her family?? Do you... not understand this? He thought it was about random people and told his boss

What about the abuse Harry and Hermione suffered?

Yes well he was a jerk for the "I see no difference comment" and occasionally sassed Harry and took 2/5 points of Gryffindor. I don't see how that's abuse? And Snape is meant to be a jerk. He's NOT an abuser. Do not throw terms around that lightly.

What about Neville?

I'm so ashamed pro Snape people actually have to keep arguing about this. Has the HP fandom learnt nothing? The Boggart incident happened right after potions where Snape said he'd test Neville's potion on the toad. Neville literally smiled sheepishly when mentioning his greatest fear. Would you do that? And Bellatrix was not supposed to be introduced that early into the series. Plus aren't you supposed to visualise your Boggart? What would Neville see, since he'd never seen Bellatrix? The entire Boggart scene is literally written for laughs.

Btw Snape didn't hate Neville because he wasn't "the chosen one". If a kid melted six cauldrons in my class and couldn't follow simple instructions so as to not put himself and everyone around him in danger, I wouldn't exactly be fond of him either.

Snape was obsessed and called lily a slur

Snape called lily a slur in a moment of humiliation and after being SEXUALLY ASSAULTED and she, his best friend, had had the audacity to smile at it (still doesn't excuse it tho, it was a shitty thing to do) and he went to apologize after Lily told him to wash his underwear. She said nope friendship over and Snape leaves her alone. He literally just wanted to apologise I don't understand what's wrong with that?

Or maybe it's just me who thinks apologizing to a friend after hurting them is acceptable?

Don't you dare say him making sectumsempra is a bad thing. If a group of boys were stalking me day and night with a map of my location 24/7 and an invisibility cloak just to harass and bully me I'd slash them open anyday.

I'm not talking about movie Snape.

Also stop tagging reblogs as #miaandpotatoes or whatever, they're not your posts. Hope @hospitalparty gets it now

hey what do you think about stanning (idk if its the correct word) both marauders and snape together I want stuff like that its usually people who hate severus are marauder lovers and people who hate marauders and severus lovers?? I mean i like them both equally and i also like good romances in the marauders era like fralice and dorlene ?? I don't ship jily nor snily(Snily platonically) nor do i ship w*lfstar I hate those weird ships whats ur opinion? ps i love ur replies to snaters!!

Thanks anon <3, you used the right word btw!

I'm sure along with me, many, many members of the snapedom like both the Marauders and Snape, but 95% of marauders' stans basically spend half their time bashing Snape rather than concentrating on their faves. I only hate the Marauders because of their stans otherwise I find them to be interesting characters.

And I'm completely fine with all marauder era ships! (except jily) but istg w*lfstar fans are just....ugh.

I tried looking for some blogs who don't hate Snape or the Marauders but I couldn't find many, here are some quality blogs I did find, however:

@once-upon-an-imagine (they post imagines, as you can guess), @wingedcorgi (they illustrate both the marauders and snape) and some of my amazing mutuals @snapeingturtle @wh0reforthemarauders @billcwingcloaks who love both the Marauders and Snape!!

If anyone knows any more accounts like these please feel free to add!

Alright I know you like Snape but who do you like in the Golden Trio Era like Ron or Harry or Hermione Or Luna or Malferret or anyone llike that?? I hate Malferret!! Love Anon

Hi anon!

My two favorite characters are Luna and Snape (which is so strange when you think about it Luna's a complete angel and Snape is well, not)

Hermione is a very interesting character to me (I'd argue she's completely grey if you look at her objectively but since she's one of Harry's friends her moral ambiguity is often overlooked) she's so fierce and passionate but also horridly righteous and you do not wanna be around her when she's mad.

Harry is rather mean and stupid sometimes (he was going through a lot but that doesn't make it alright for him to treat others like shit) but he also has the ability to forgive and love, something most characters lack in HP. He's also really funny and that prevents the reader from being bored to death (imagine Hermione narrating, it would feel more like a lecture)

Ron was the most human to me, I prefer him most out of the three as a person, but the least as a character. Mostly because he's the typical teenage boy, who grows up and learns to look past his insecurities. Ron's growth >>>>>

I hate Draco too, Anon. Especially since the fandom woobified him into being this "misunderstood abused child" rather than acknowledging his nastiness. He does make for an interesting character, imo

tbh Snape would get much less hate if he was just... attractive. People really stuck at a 5 years old's level of 'good people are pretty' morality and dont know what to do when a complex character is ugly. Likewise you know if peter had been hot marauders fans would be all over him, but nope he's fat so they see him as unattractive. But stan tom riddle, and make out draco and regulas to be the multi dimensional, slytherin heroes that Snape actually was.

I wish media hadn't encouraged the "bullies are the kids who look and act different" stereotype because so often it is the victim, who gets targeted specifically because they're so "weird".

A character's horrible actions are often excused if they're male/ white/ charming/ rich/ conventionally attractive. And guess what, Snape is just one of those (and not even masculine). He's written as having Jewish features, he's a "filthy halfblood", absolutely poor, he's mean and withdrawn and no one seems to consider him attractive

James Potter on the other hand, is that trust fund jock who everyone would love to date and mostly, (even in marauder fans' hcs), he doesn't have much of a personality beyond it. And everyone still finds him compelling. Ma'am that's his bank account you're so interested in, not him.

Snape displays so many qualities of Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, along with Slytherin

Makes me wonder what happened there. Did Snape grow and change to value Slytherin qualities less (because his mission required it), or did he always posses all the qualities of the other three houses, however, dormant compared to Slytherin ones?

This sounds crazy, but I'm sure Snape would get less hate if he hadn't defected and continued to be a death eater his entire life.

If Snape had just asked Dumbledore to save Lily and then continued to be a death eater and not give a damn about other muggleborns, I'm sure people would make excuses for his behaviour saying "he was raised that way"

It makes them sooo uncomfortable that their fave didn't get a redemption arc (see: oh well he changed) but the poor, ugly, unpopular guy did

Apparently to the fandom torture and murder is excusable (see: Bellatrix and Tom Riddle) but a person who actively works to keep others alive and safe is the "real bad guy" because he's not nice to the protagonist???

Jily makes me uncomfortable for the same reasons, but also because the books don’t bother showing James apologize to Lily, as if apologizing is unimportant. Remus/Sirius still minimize James’s treatment of Lily in SWM to Harry years later. Having the characters admit those actions (threats/blackmail) were gross and reprehensible would go a long way to suggest “they changed.” That’s how we get a few jily stans arguing jAmeS cHaNgEd with zero evidence while the majority insist he didn’t need to

Yep. You know who apologized? Snape. Snape apologized to Lily and she didn't accept it. Which is completely fine, but it does send out the message that being sorry for doing something wrong is unimportant.

Remus and Sirius never apologized to Snape, despite them being alive long enough to do so. They brushed it under the carpet and expected Snape to deal with it.

I guess that's why Snape turned out so bitter.

Honestly I didn't even expect James to apologize considering the fact that he choked and sexually assualted Snape after he was almost killed by one of his friends. James is one of the most self entitled characters I have ever read.

Omg I’ve loved your blog for so long. Your responses to snaters are so excellent in their simplicity and savagery.

Thank you! <3

I try to keep it short because ik most snaters aren't really in it to actually understand our pov and they don't really care as long as they can say "I don't like Snape so I'm better than you"

I've found savagery works 24/7/365 and I'm glad you like my responses!!

I wondered if you'd sent this to the wrong blog for a while but then I told myself to shut up and take the praise

The thing that's always bothered me about jily, is it reminds me of so many girls I knew who went out with a guy in hs who would be awful to them (because that means he likes her!) got married cause thats what you do in small towns and unlike jily actually live, and spend their lives deeply miserable with a guy that openly despises them. It makes Hogwarts really feel like my rural town where every women disappears into a 'mother' role while the guys remain high school legends for generations.

Exactly!! the woman is just a depressed, forgotten trophy wife and it bothers me so much even when Jily Lames fans use Lily to justify that James was a "good guy"

every time I see someone say something like: "do you think lily would go out with James if he was an ass?" A part of my soul leaves my body

We do not use the girl as a "reward" here. Nope. Nor a moral compass. Lily choosing James does not make him any less of a jerk, it just makes Lily more of an idiot.

I'm not saying she should've dated/ married Snape either, just that she should have more sense than to pick james
