if snape only changed sides because of lily then:

dumbledore only changed sides because his sister died

narcissa only changed sides because draco was in danger

regulus only changed sides because his house elf was nearly killed

draco only changed sides because his parents were in danger

every single one of these people’s switch is seen as this astronomical good thing and treated with respect, while snape’s change is constantly CONSTANTLY dragged through the mud. but if you want to berate and belittle snape’s change for being selfish, you need to take off those hypocrisy glasses and do it for the MULTIPLE other characters who ALSO change sides for selfish reasons and not moral ones, thank u for coming to my ted talk

#severus snape #anyway one of hp's major themes is how people affect each other and y'all #really want to come to my door complaining that snape changed bc of lily??? #narcissa malfoy #regulus black #draco malfoy

doing things for yourself is not selfish, especially when you’ve spent more time putting others before you only to be drained and unfulfilled. giving is good, but some people are only out there to take and refuse to give back. don’t let them take everything from you, and if they never return your kindness, consider lessening it. their true colors might be revealed once you treat them the way they treat you.

Things that the Harry Potter films left out about Snape

Called Lily a mudblood, then tried to cover himself by saying that she alone was different from other muggleborns

Didn’t see a problem with his friends performing Dark Magic on Mary MacDonald, compared it to the Marauders pranks

Dropped a tree branch on Petunia

Attacked Remus in PoA whilst he was trying to explain things and literally said the words ‘I’ll drag the werewolf. Perhaps the Dementors will have a kiss for him too’

Continued to refuse to listen to Sirius’s explanation even though he was being compliant and had only once tried to fight back, without magic, after Snape attacked Remus

After he found out he wasn’t actually going to get an Order of Merlin, or have the satisfaction of seeing two innocent men in jail, he exposed Remus as a werewolf

Ripped a photo of James and Lily and Harry being happy and in love and a family in half and stole the half with Lily on it

Actively tried to get the Marauders expelled from Hogwarts

Dumbledore was ‘disgusted’ by his attitude towards James and Harry 

Harry distrusted Snape that much he literally thought he was trying to poison Remus

Abused his position as Head of House to unfairly reward points to Slytherin and take points from other houses, especially Gryffindor, far beyond the extent it was shown in the movies

Told Neville he would feed Trevor Neville’s failed potion so the possibly fatal results would teach him a lesson

Mocked Tonks when her Patronus changed, despite the fact his also changed to match Lily’s

Insulted Hermione’s appearance and told her he didn’t see any difference after Draco cursed her teeth to grow and then watched as she ran out crying

You do know Snape was indirectly responsible for Lily and James' deaths, right? He told Voldemort the prophecy and that's what made Voldemort target the Potters, it's canon. Keep stanning for his useless sack-of-shit ass, but people are never going to stop hating him for this truth and it says a lot about you when try to act as though this disgusting act of his was no big deal.

Oh my god…. they found me…. Ugh, ok. He didn’t even know if James and Lily were going to be chosen when the prophecy was given. Do Neville’s family ring a bell? Fuck, did we read the same book? Not to mention Snape asked Voldemort not to kill Lily when he found out and immediately changed sides- did you forget that tid bit? Personally he didn’t give a fuck about James because, well, would you give a fuck about your bully who publicly humiliated you and never apologized for it? Even if he was “indirectly responsible,” as you so claim - that doesn’t change the fact he himself was devastated by it and risked his neck just to make sure Voldemort was defeated - even getting himself killed in the process.I don’t know, personally I think it says that I’m an open minded person. I can see Snape made a horrible mistake and he tried to fix it by being a double agent.My problem with you Snape haters is that you take every single little mistake he has made and crucify him for it. Really, you only have one reason to hate him, which is because he abused the students. You have no other reason to hate him, ESPECIALLY not when he was a student himself. It’s like you guys are looking at him with a fucking magnifying glass, and when you see a small problem, you go: “SEE! THERE! HE’S A HORRIBLE PERSON!” You want to hate him? Fine, hate him for the abuse towards the students. But that’s it.

@snapedefender help me out here, don’t know if i said some wrong things considering I haven’t read the books in awhile - but you know more than I do.

I seriously don’t understand why most people and even Harry believe that Snape was brave.Snape behaved awfully not just to Harry but to all of his students , and I would truly admire him if his “love” for Lily was really shown , like protecting Harry since he was abandoned by Dumbledore to the Dursleys, or really having him protected or informed even upon Voldemort so Harry didn’t feel so alone on this matter, facing the greatest evil alone! Seriously why does everyone forgive Snape for his disgusting character just because at his death moment shared his love for Lily to her son? Why does that make him brave? Did he do anything to honor Lily who he so “much loved” ?? No! He was a cocky bastard and for me nothing justifies Albus Severus Potter’s name , named after the “bravest” Slytherin headmaster he knew. Just no. I thought J.K.R. Wrote Harry’s character in a way he is shown to us as a smart and brave and lovable and charismatic person but honestly , naming his son after Dumbledore and Snape was the stupidest thing he ever did.

progress can come in so many forms.

forming a routine. getting more sleep. showering more often. eating more than one meal a day. finishing an assignment on time. allowing yourself to take breaks when you need them. drinking more water. going outside more. spending more time socializing. not going to events that are draining. cleaning the dishes before they pile up.

some things seem like little steps that we barely acknowledge, but every one of them is a part of progress.

it’s so weird to me how there’s cliques and hierarchies within fandom spaces these days like. we’re all just fucking nerds. how are you gonna try to be popular amongst the nerds. how are you going to feel superior over your fellow nerds. at the end of the day you’re still a fucking nerd bestie

Literally what did olivia laing say about loneliness leading to more loneliness. Loneliness being so repulsive that people sense it from you and stay away. Crazy crazy

Friendly reminder that Lily initially rejected both James and Severus. James responded by maturing and stopping the bullying that had made Lily hate him. Severus responded by joining the extremist group intent on slaughtering muggle borns.

sometimes it’s just you, the mental breakdown you’ve been avoiding, and the realization that there are no soft snape edits because he spent his whole life miserable against the rest of the world

#and then there’s my level of denial where him and Lily makeup #and she survives and they are both happy 😅 #severus snape #pro snape #when u and ur comfort character are equally miserable 🫰🏻 no one’s doing it like us

why taking commissions for fanfics can KILL Archive of Our Own and fanfic culture as a whole

okay, so thing is, fanfics are allowed — as in they’re not banned — because nobody is supposed to be profiting off of copyrighted characters.

this is why popular site like Archive of Our Own is allowed to be up and running, because no one is supposed to be making money from fanfics.

the fact AO3 is allowed to be up and running, unfortunately, can and will most likely change if people start normalizing commissioning fanfics and making profit off of them.

because the second those big companies learn people are profiting off of their copyrighted characters, the target they will attack after you (in terms of legal action) is a platform like Archive of Our Own, which will likely ruin it all for everybody and every fandom.

imagine Archive of Our Own getting shut down because fanfics were banned because people were profiting off of them. (I know AO3 isn’t only about fanfics, but since it’s mostly known for fanfics, it will most likely get targeted and that will most likely mean it’ll get shut down if worst comes to worst.)

honestly. most people write fanfics in their free time for free out of passion and love they have for their favorite characters.

people read fanfics for free because that’s their source of happiness.

I’m not saying there will be no fanfics left in this world if they really are banned, because people will always find a way. but it WILL be so much harder having to sneak around and find a way to post fanfics without them getting removed at best, the authors getting sued at worst. and it WILL be harder for readers to find your works if we have to censor key words and character names in order to avoid getting caught.

it’s so much easier like this, we can freely post fanfics without having to hide and censor key words or worrying about anything.

no, I’m not making this post for the sake of those big companies. this post isn’t about “hey, don’t profit off of their characters”. it’s about “hey, don’t risk ruining fanfics culture as a whole for everybody by profiting off of them and putting a platform like Archive of Our Own in jeopardy.”

if you don’t want to live in a fandom without AO3, keep fanfics free.

“My Eyes” from Dr. Horrible is honestly so Snily coded with Severus seeing all that’s bad in the world and society while Lily sees the good in eye one’s heart and has hope.
