Severus Snape: I scare people a lot because I walk very softly and they don't hear me enter rooms. So when they turn around, I'm just kind of there and their fear fuels me.
being obsessed with a character is so fucking embarrassing like I'll be getting dressed in the morning like "I bet the 12th doctor would wear these socks" bitch shut the fuck up
Snape being too poor to buy an owl so he just had a pigeon instead.
It’s the only one he had so it bonded with him and follows him around sometimes, since it’s small and quiet he just keeps it in the hood of his cloak.
It takes any stems from herbs Snape doesn’t need and ripped parchment to build nests in.
Purebloods confused as all hell how a muggle animal can be iridescent. They just can’t wrap their head around this small creature while half and muggle borns are like “that’s gross.”
All his friends and professors are shocked to see Severus write to them a response so quickly, it just turns out his pigeon is faster than any owl. Most of his letters are singular words too. Mainly “No.”
Now after being retired the pigeon is just a pet he has well into his later years as the life span can go over 30 years.
Seeing other writers on tumblr talk about writing is so validating because all of them are basically:
“I hate writing but I love it more than anything but it’s agony but I have a million stories to put to paper but I barely ever write a word”
And like I’ve always felt this way and I worried it meant I wasn’t supposed to be a writer, which tore me to shreds. But no. That’s just the curse of being one, I guess.
How it works: Writers, artists and video editors of the Marauders fandom will create non-profit drabbles, sketches and edits in return for donations to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Once proof of donation is sent, your prompt will then be assigned to a writer/artist/editor to fulfill at random. The fics will be posted to the Ao3 collection Marauders With Palestine Project, while the sketches and edits will be posted to the creator’s own accounts.
Schedule:
Writer/artist volunteer sign up: March 11th - March 31st
Donation proof and prompt submissions: April 1st - April 22nd
Prompt assignment: April 23rd - April 31st
Writing and drawing: May 1st - May 31st
Answered prompts and posting will happen starting June 1st

General Rules:
Each contributor can donate more than once, but they’ll only be allowed to submit a maximum of three prompts, no matter their donation size.
Proof of donation is required for the prompts to be accepted and added to the list. 5 USD is the required minimum for SFW prompts, and 8 USD for NSFW prompts.
NSFW prompts can only be submitted by 18+ contributors and will be assigned to 18+ volunteers only.
Prompts need to be worded clearly to avoid confusion, and they can’t include more than four Marauders era characters. Contributors can specify if they prefer a fic or a drawing, but the final product will depend on availability and may change. Prompts will be assigned randomly.
The prompts may not contain: religious material, gore, explicit violence, incest, or non-con. Dead dove prompts are not allowed and hateful or politically inclined prompts will be automatically deleted.
*This project is entirely non-profit and all money contributed by those who submit prompts is sent directly to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
For volunteers: Everyone is welcome!
For writers: fics must be a minimum of 3k words and you must have an Ao3 account to post them to the Marauders For Palestine Project collection. The works must be completely independent from any other works, and while they can be multichapter fics, they have to be published all in one go.
For artists; your contribution may be a drawing or doodle. Sketches are welcome, but there’s no need for background.
For video editors: your video may be longer than 15 seconds.
