James dies fifth year. Oh no. Tell me everything 😈
hellooooo 💜💜
so. its an itty bitty oneshot with the potential to be more where im basically trying to explore an AU where snape’s sectumsempra (that he used on james in swm) does more than just create a gash. we know it’s a dangerous spell, what if it did to james what say, harry had done to draco? or snape to george’s ear?
what if it killed him?
now, snape is not that important here. he fucks up, kills a classmate yes. but what about sirius, the other half of james’ soul? how does he deal with the aftermath of something like this? especially considering this is 5th year when he’s already fucked up wrt his family and everything—probably the peak of his hormonal emotions and all as well. he already has a low opinion of snape and this incident would just tip it into blind rage, no?
idk. just. interested in a world without james for sirius and how that would affect him (after all my soapboxes on how i think james and his unconditional acceptance was extremely important to sirius’ growth arc, and making his rough edges smoother etc etc)
(a lil snippet here!)

Hotdamn, 200+ followers?! Hello everyone! Im glad you’re all enjoying my writing so far! Figured I’d be super self indulgent and make a proper introduction post.
I’m Nimaina, Nima or Nim is also fine. She/her pronouns, biromantic asexual, married to the most wonderful trans woman. I’ve been on the internet long enough to be considered OLD ™️. Like our kid is now explaining memes to me OLD™️. I hate long walks on the beach but I love books, making up stories, and playing around with fountain pens and their pretty inks. My current media obsessions are Ascendance of a Bookworm, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, and Cult of the Lamb. Currently I’m chomping at the bit waiting for Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update to be on console.
I’m working through my Stolitz fanfic right now, it’s turning into a long haul. My Alastor x reader fics are on the back burner mostly, though I may post some more slices of life bits. I may post some original content as well once I wrap up the Stolitz fic.
Thank you everyone who’s been enjoying the writing, I hope you’re having as much fun reading it as I am creating it. 🖤🩶🤍💜

(warning: this is very long and i didn't feel like putting a read more on so im so sorry to your dash)
okay so im writing a profile for my eng 131 class. im writing about this one classmate of mine who's had a lot of personal growth over the years.
i wrote about everything relevant to his growth, and came up with advice for other "bad kids" and their teachers. i focused on how anyone could improve like this classmate did.
this entire essay has felt very... uninspired. which is shocking to me. i mean, this kid's life story is incredibly inspiring and yet i felt really bored writing this thing?
something about my paper felt off. i was about ready to throw in the towel and call it good enough. it's due tomorrow anyway; might as well call it quits.
BUT THEN!
i read it over again and realized that OH MY FUCKING GODS THIS STORY IS BASICALLY JUST CARL ROGERS' HUMANISTIC APPROACH
carl rogers was a psychologist of the humanist variety (humanists focus on how people can improve and are the more optimistic side of psychology). he believed that all humans, if in ideal conditions, could grow to thrive.
what were these ideal conditions? rogers said that humans need unconditional positive regard, understanding from others, and genuineness (aka, being yourself)
(unconditional positive regard basically means "treat everyone with respect and kindness no matter who they are and what they've done". or, you know, basic human decency)
how does this connect to my essay? well, as a child, my classmate didn't really have any support. like, at all. you wanna know how he improved?
HE GOT TREATED WITH UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD!!!!! HE WAS GIVEN UNDERSTANDING AND WAS ALLOWED TO BE HIMSELF!!!
our school gave him a shot even after he fucking threw a chair at a teacher. he was offered a private tutor. he got a therapist!!! he got support!!!!!
and then he could improve!!! with that support he worked on himself, found ways to cope with his anger issues, and built up his self-esteem! he was so confident that he could easily just,,, absorb any insults thrown his way!! he could be himself without being negatively affected by criticism!
and THAT was a noticeable difference. now everybody's opinions on him started to shift so that he had even MORE SUPPORT!!!!!! and then he improved EVEN MORE!!!
BRO IS OUT HERE PROVING ROGERS RIGHT HOLY SHIT
my essay is due tomorrow but i NEED to rewrite it now i NEED TO COMPLETELY REWRITE A COLLEGE ESSAY BY TOMORROW holy shit why do i do this to myself
i am biting and kicking and screaming istg i am SO FUCKING INSPIRED RN QOHAUIWBSJHBGKYUGS
anyway tl:dr; my original profile sucked ass, i had a massive realization where i connect all the dots, and now i want to rewrite it entirely by tomorrow night :'))))

We canonically know that several Death Eaters knew the truth about the traitor (Sirius says he heard them talking about Peter in Azkaban and claims Peter was running from the Death Eaters that avoided prison), but it’s understandable why they didn’t say anything (Sirius is legit their enemy so why bother helping, who’s listening to imprisoned Death Eaters claiming that their Lord’s alleged second-in-command is actually innocent since that just looks like they’re trying to free him so he can take control in Voldemort’s stead and they can unleash destruction on the world again, and those that are free just narrowly escaped Azkaban and sure aren’t going to risk their freedom by being seen helping a “notorious” Death Eater). We’ve gotta wonder about literally everyone else though, because they’ve got no excuses for the lack of questions or an investigation (everyone seems to agree Peter was far less talented than Sirius and also was a coward, so they must have known Peter would never chase after Sirius. Did they somehow forget all prior knowledge? Had nobody ever been framed in the Wizarding World before or something? Why didn’t they check Sirius’s wand?)
ur asking all the questions i’ve been wondering for years lol like again, i get it needed to happen that way for ~plot but like !!! why are there so many holes !!!!
genuinely, the only way it makes sense is:
- someone was deliberately interfering w the case to keep him in prison (gg!dumbles)
- sirius has a bad luck curse cast on him where everything that can go wrong does.
me, personally? i think it was a mix of the first (dumbledore being his ten-steps-ahead chess player + active ignorance) and maybe,,,something something sirius’ case being hushed up and pushed thru in the postwar chaos? people didn’t get a chance to do anything bc it happened way too quick? also the government operates on a more,,,macro/meta level so maybe that? (it’s also possible we underestimate the size of the WW to assume they’d have such intimate access to/participation in the administration etc just bc of the lightning era we saw)
