It Doesnt Matter If The Marauders Matured.

It doesn’t matter if the Marauders Matured.

It doesn’t matter. Sure, they could’ve matured and grown up- which they didn’t and go about their lives as if everything was fine. Because they’re the perpetrators; they’re the bullies/abusers. They weren’t affected by the trauma they inflicted on Snape.

Snape can’t just “get over it”. It’s TRAUMATIC. TRAUMA. You don’t just get over trauma. You can’t. There isn’t “getting over it” there’s “getting help to manage the symptoms of what the trauma inflicted upon you and making it a bit easier to live your life like normal” trauma has a lasting effect on people. It takes years to recover and heal. To come to terms with what happened. This is also not done on one’s own. It’s done with support from loved ones, trusted friends and medical/mental professionals like therapists, etc. Which Snape was never able to get because he didn’t have that kind of support system.

So no. It doesn’t matter if the Marauders matured (even though they never did) their actions still had a deep impact on Snape’s life that effect it even years after it happened. It is ingrained in his mind and no matter how hard he tries to hide his emotions and pain it’s still there and it will always still be there. With help it can be easier to manage- but he never is able to get that.

he's so exhausted and miserable (i love him)

POV: all members of the Lost Trio are queer and also idiots <3

Leo: I don’t pay attention to what other guys look like. That’s probably because I hang out with Jason! [cue description of Jason.] How will I ever get a girlfriend if he’s constantly hanging around me being all handsome and heroic?

Piper: I haven’t stopped thinking about Reyna since I met her in New Rome. Sure, Jason has repeatedly stated that he’s not romantically interested in her, but like. Reyna is literally perfect? She’s so beautiful and powerful? How would she not be on his mind all the time??

Jason: I met Cupid and one of the first things he asked me was if I was still doubting myself. My friend was outed and I’ve had an unshakable urge to tell him that I get how he’s feeling since. Also yes I still remember the outfit Leo was wearing when we met several months ago vividly. For no reason.

I have the book scenes for all of these btw. Just posting this version for now because the other post would be very long

been thinking about jetko lately…. the atla renaissance failed them. they should have been the MOMENT, not fucking zukka. the mutual trauma over the FN left unhealed, the mutual anger and frustration at injustice (albeit the execution tends to be different), jet seeing an outcast within zuko and wanting him to join his group, the budding friendship, the misplaced betrayal after jet found out zuko was a firebender, the direct link fire has to both of their traumas, the homoerotic sword fight, the parallels they share when it comes to their relationship with katara (the trust she places in both of them, their betrayal, the forgiveness, yet one is saved and another is doomed to be forgotten). oh my DAYS, y’all spat in they FACES !!!

Jason: feral boy in his element, tearing through the battlefield, ripping monsters apart with his bare hands.

Percy: I could take him.

Annabeth: Yeah in a fight.

Percy: Oh, yeah.. Yeah...watches Jason rip a monsters neck with his teeth That's what I meant...

Annabeth:...your drooling.

*Mumbling*

Jason in a wolf onesie...

I got so many asks for this one 😭 sorry for the long wait!!! Behold the boy!!!!✨

Boy was raised by wolves, of course his canines gonna grow sharper.

Nothing behind those eyes
