i took a stab at drawing fanart for a Hazbin Hotel persona I made whilst playing in c.ai.

i’m uncreative when it comes to names so just used Grym for MC (middle) and the twin cubs are called Aspen (green, boy) and Lilac (purple, girl).

There is a storyline i’ve got for ‘em but I’m too tired to write it right now. Maybe later.

Thoughts on Severus’s first year as a Professor:

Severus taught 7th years who were 17/18 at 21 or 22. Pretty sure he was a child prodigy. Graduated only 4 years earlier. You know he had to grow a thick skin to gain respect. My high school classmates gave our student teachers in their twenties hell to the point of tears and rage. I try to imagine what it must have been like for Severus to teach students who would have been his peers in his last year, perhaps having witnessed or even joined in the bullying of him as a teen. It must have taken a tremendous amount of self control and dignity to deal with that level of pressure and potential ridicule (is this where the punishments for cheeky disrespect originated?).

At the time he started teaching (21 or 22 for a reminder) he had already rewritten the school textbook and was likely writing his own recipes instead of the books brewing instructions. He had invented spells himself on numerous occasions and yet he was in a position of teaching high school level. He must have felt highly unstimulated.

Severus was made Head of House when he was between the ages of 21 and 24, in charge of students only 4 years younger whom he had to gain the respect and confidence of. This is an enormous task to ask of someone so young but he pulled it off without a hitch.

Slytherin started its House Cup winning streak when Severus was only 24. That is an outstanding achievement for a man who only started teaching 3 years ago. Not only that but they won it for seven consecutive years, an even more amazing feat when you consider that he never awards points to his own house. Slytherin succeeds on their own merits despite 3/4 of the school hating them enough to cheer when they lose.

Might go unnoticed (I haven’t seen this mentioned before correct me if I’m wrong), but I’ve just realized in full force that Severus taught for the first time and took on all that responsibility on the same year of the worst day of his life. Lily died in October and he presumably started teaching that following September. That means he had less than a year to grieve if that before taking on responsibilities that would shudder most young adults without all that pressure of depression. Getting out of bed must have been a monumental struggle.

Students openly mock Severus for his appearance and clothing and personality on a regular basis. Since the Marauders bullied him till the end of his school years and students taunted him as a teacher you could almost argue that the torment over his appearance never really ended for him. Sad.

Severus carries himself with such dignity and poise that he did not possess as a teen. What brought about this change in him to command an entire class? Did McGonagall teach him? Did he practice it in himself? We’ll never know but it fascinates me.

Every single damn time.

and then. and THEN. I may consider:

something is actually wrong

As an autistic person, I don't much like tone indicators (e.g., /s, /j, /nm, etc) for a very simple reason. They just replicate my issue with tone in a new medium.

IRL, I have to memorize tones and what they mean, then when I hear words, I need to retroactively change what I think they mean based on the tone.

With these "tone indicators", I need to do the exact same thing. Memorize the little weird acronyms, then when I read words, retroactively change what I think they mean based on the acronym.

Instead, can we actually SAY the words we mean, in the sentence? So instead of:

"hey when will you do the dishes /nm"

write:

"hey, not mad just asking, when will you do the dishes?"

If we really *must* use some kind of indicator, can we change it to a word in parentheses, like that meme? I often do this with short phrases or jokes, such as, "lol I hate you (affectionate)".
