Snape Spent His Teenage Years Writing Angsty Poetry.

Snape spent his teenage years writing angsty poetry.

You cannot convince me otherwise.

You know, Dumbledore's kind of a jerk.

He's all shocked when Snape's patronus is a doe.

And Snape's like "always".

Because when someone important to you dies you don't just forget them. Like what did Dumbledore expect?

I ship Snily platonically. If you have someone that close to you, you miss them forever. Everything that reminds you of them is bittersweet and you just want to curl up and die some days.

Sorry for the rant. Going through grief stuff and I'm projecting on Snape.

Reblog this is you’re still in the snapedom

My dash is utterly devoid of snep 💔

Yep, agree with all of this.

It's nice to think that maybe Snape had some friends so our sad boi isn't quite so sad but the truth is that he was somewhat friendly with maybe 3 people but was otherwise left to deal with all his hurt, stress and pain alone. He really didn't have anyone to support him.

Snater: Snape was Obsessed with Lily!

Canon: Snape Loved Lily! Harry himself says it so! Dumbledore says it so! A Patronus is a positive emotion and it only changes because of Love or Grief, Not Obsession. You're basically agreeing with Voldemort when you put it like that because that's how he understood Snape's feelings. And Voldemort can't even feel Love!

Snater: Snape bullied kids because he was rejected by Lily!

Canon: Snape bullied kids because he was mentally ill. He never had a support system to cope up from all those years of trauma and bullying. Even though this doesn't excuse his behaviour it atleast explains that he didn't bully kids just because he was "rejected" by Lily!

Snater: Snape was Rejected by Lily!

Canon: Snape never made his feelings known to Lily. Only Dumbledore and Harry knew about them later on. Lily only broke their friendship!

Snater: Snape only defected because of Lily!

Canon: Yes, Snape's initial motivation was Lily. But later on he completely reformed from his Deatheater ways and started saving people just because he could. He could've ditched the mission when he learnt the truth about Harry but he carried on thereby showing that he cares about the greater good.

Snater: Snape didn't redeem himself! He bullied kids!

Canon: In the grand scheme of things, Despite how rude his behaviour was, Snape's role in the war redeemed him. His bravery ultimately lead to Voldemort's defeat. Therefore, Niceness≠Redemption.

Snater: Sirius and Harry had Terrible childhoods! But they turned out alright!

Fact: It's irrelevant to compare victims of abuse because everybody is different. No man is the same despite how similar they are. Furthermore, Harry and Sirius had loving friends who suported them and got their backs whereas Snape fell into the wrong crowd.

Snater: Snape was a racist!

Canon: Whether Snape was a racist prior to his initial defection is up for debate but Snape certainly dropped his supposed(IF any) Racist beliefs over the course of a decade.

Snater: yoU're a nAzi sYmpAtHizeR WhO sUpPoRts ChIlD aBuSE!

Isn't that how the conversation goes with most of the Snaters?

HE STEALED A TOAD!

NOW IT'S HIS TOAD

People wonder why most of the adults in the wizarding world are super irresponsible and emotionally unstable.

I'm thinking it's likely because the 3 generations before Harry Potter are pretty much war veterans and hella traumatized.

The wizarding world isn't known for being very modern and this was before therapy was really a thing in the muggle world.

With both Grindelwald and Voldemort having happened in one century, I think you would struggle to find a mentally healthy wizard or witch.
