I’ve considered, which artist would be the best to bring more than 20 years of my love to Severus Snape into one drawing for his birthday…and damn, Mani - @madfantasy - you did a wonderful job with this piece of art again! You really made the love between Severus and me palpable in your drawing…and I couldn’t be happier and more grateful for it! Thank you so much, my dear! I can’t wait to commission you again!
And I want to thank you, Severus, for being the inspiration for me to keep going, no matter how hard I’m struggling. Your strength and resilience will always be the light to my darkness! Your cynicism and sarcastic attitude will never fail to amaze me and trigger my sense of dark humour! Your imperfection is the purest perfection for me!
Happy 64th Birthday, my beloved dark and twisted dungeon bat!
I could talk about my comfort character for hours. Everything about him. His look, his personality, his life, his trauma, his feelings. I just can’t find anyone who would listen to me. So i’m talking to myself about him and after i listen my mom telling me that i’m crazy. This is how my life is.
“Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. Ghosts are transparent.”

“Would you like me to do it now?” asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. “Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?”

“I was just showing Harry my grindylow,” said Lupin pleasantly, pointing at the tank.
“Fascinating,” said Snape, without looking at it.
*****
As Harry raised himself into a sitting position, his head still swimming from its last contact with the ground, he saw Snape running as hard as he could, the enormous beast [Buckbeak] flapping behind him and screeching as Harry had never heard him screech —
. . . Snape had managed to Disapparate just beyond the school’s boundaries.

Snape gave her [Umbridge] an ironic bow and turned to leave.

“The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter — or at least, most minds are.” He smirked.

“Potter, when I want nonsense shouted at me I shall give you a Babbling Beverage. And Crabbe, loosen your hold a little, if Longbottom suffocates it will mean a lot of tedious paperwork, and I am afraid I shall have to mention it on your reference if ever you apply for a job.”
"the malfoys and snape only tolerated each other for political gain and he hated the family actually" : boring, no angst, cliche, makes snape's decision have no emotional stakes
"the malfoys and snape trusted each other despite everything largely bc they met very young, snape challenges their pre conceived notions on basically everything but they treat him like family regardless, meaning that snape betrayed the (bad) people who gave him a home for the ("good") people that mocked and abused him his whole life": insane, appealing, lucius being a reluctant big brother, snape being dracos godparent, emotional stakes through the roof, post war lucius grappling w the fact his bsf betrayed him, that he was the one to lead him to his death yet lucius still loves him bc he saw him as his little brother
i NEED the marauders girlies to look at Dominic Sessa bc that's Remus Lupin right there im sorry but Andrew Garfield will never come close he's lacking the tall weirdo gene
I’ve commissioned the wonderful and talented @sleepybradipo again for another drawing of young Severus and young Julia (oh, to be young again! 😅), celebrating Sevy‘s birthday with a shared piece of cake.
More than 20 years ago I read „Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone“ for the very first time…and I fell head over heels for the arrogant and bitter potions master!
Over the years, I’ve developed a soft spot for his younger self, which triggers my „overprotective-and-overdramatic-bitch-mode“ every time, which led me to write many stories of me defending, protecting, avenging and pampering him…just the way, he would deserve it!
So, thank you, @sleepybradipo for this beautiful piece of art! I love it as well as I’ve loved the former drawings, you’ve made for me! I’m looking forward for the next time, when I’ll be able to commission you again!
And Happy 64th Birthday, my beloved Severus Snape!
POV: You’re Albus Dumbledore, and you just told your resident Ex-Death Eater that Harry Potter will be returning to his abusive relatives for his “protection”.
