Hello

I understand Severus to a nearly unreasonable degree.

"But he joined the death eaters!" Okay? And? His father was a muggle who was terrible to him and others, if there was a military hate club, I'd join too! I hate the military for no reason, purely because of my dad, so, given that he actually had a reason, it's understandable.

"But he's mean to students!" Bro, I would've been fired years ago for child mistreatment, I'd be throwing desks, shouting, etc— hell no.

"But he just walked over James' dead body!" Cool, and I would've taken a selfie, like?? Iconic king?

I NEED trans Severitus fics rn. Think about it.

The whole pantsing thing has a whole new meaning. Nicknames like Snivellous, which imply that Severus is less of a man, makes way more sense. It's the 60's, so bullying makes sense. Greasy hair? Yeah, he doesn't want to shower and look at himself.

Matter of fact, make Harry trans too. Severitus.

Harry gets found out to be Harriet, which leads to teasing. Maybe they all just kinda thought the boy who lived was just an androgenous baby? Doesn't matter. Someone cuts up all of Harry's 'boy' clothes. Bad hairstyles? Yup, that's just Harry. Ron asking if Harry is really the girl who lived, and Harry just lies and says that he's not the girl who lived, he's the boy who lived. Finding out his dad bullied Sev for being trans? GUESS WHAT!?

Anyways, let them bond over dysphoria and stuff, Severus gives him pointers, like, don't bind with bandages, bind with sports bras or stuff, hairstyle stuff, dysphoria stuff, etc.

I NEED IT, I'M GONNA EAT IT OM NOM NOM.

Severitus plot thingy (again)

Severitus where Severus recognizes abuse in pretty much anyone. He's constantly pulling Slytherins aside to talk about home life, Ravenclaws, even Hufflepuffs, but not him.

He's so desperate for anyone to notice, anyone to actually, truly care, to do something, but that never happens.

Severus assigns a detention and Harry just loses it the second he steps in. Severus makes a single comment, and Harry is completely breaking down. He's shouting, screaming, even better if he's breaking things. Like, absolutely crashing TF out, and then he storms out.

When he shows up to classes the next day, he expects to be practically murdered by Snape, but he's not.

1) An apology letter on his desk, explaining his behavior, demeanor, and offering to help.

2) He gets asked to step out, just like he does with the Slytherins.

3) Normal class period.

4) A hug/reassuring words/just a form of comfort, really.

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Jeverus prompt/trope/wtv the hell these are.

James is really late when coming home, and Severus being who he is, is immediately spiraling- angrily. He's cursing himself out, convinced he is doomed to be just like his mother and marry a complete jack off.

Meanwhile, James comes home with a stuffed bat he found, flowers, and chocolates because he felt like Severus wasn't feeling too great that morning.

yeah sex is cool I guess

but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting

Trans Peter Parker headcanons because I said so??

When they find out, everyone else is confused, Thor and Loki are completely normal. Thor simply asks if he called Peter something else today, but Peter says no, and he's just like 'alr, cool.' Loki is trying to give him tips on shape shifting, thinking that maybe he just ran into a hit of a mistake, and when he learns that it wasn't shape shifting, he gags and dramatically fawns over him 'Oh you poor thing!' And then does an illusion or something.

There's definitely a confused yet supportive Steve and Bucky, just shouting 'IT'S HE NOT SHE! HE'S TRANSLUCENT' To everyone who misgenders him.

When everyone finds out, Tony is laughing in the corner because he was the only one who knew, and now he gets to watch this drama unfold. Natasha is so dumbfounded as to how she didn't find out, and Clint gives him a dad speech.

Sam completely ignores it, but asks him casually if he's supposed to call him something else, and then also corrects everyone who gets his pronouns wrong.

Bruce to immediately starts working on a testosterone that wouldn't burn through his metabolism, since it's artificial.

The first time someone calls him a slur around the team, Peter is used to it, but the Avengers aren't, so Steve and Bucky are shouting, Sam having to hold them both back, while also correcting them. Natasha and Loki are in the corner planning murder, Tony is angrily shouting at him, already calling his lawyers and threatening to sue or something, Thor is spinning his Hammer, Bruce is turning green and doing yoga in the corner, Clint is pulling a dad and angrily shouting at him while tapping his foot disapprovingly while Peter is just like 'Wtf'

Controversial opinion, but

I hate it when people say "Ao3 doesn't need an algorithm, you're just lazy!" Because, like, yeah? I'm lazy because it's a HOBBY. And I'm not saying a built in algorithm, but an on and off option would be nice! Either way, if you're going to judge me for saying that, than for the love of all that is good, stop judging me for reading on different sites that have some sort of algorithm.

“A vegan vampire? How does THAT work?” “Simple; I drink coconut water.” “Come again?” “Coconut water is close enough to human blood plasma that vampires can survive on it.” “Huh…”

Snirius trope where after a 'prank', Snape kinda freaks out. For some reason, it hits a nerve, it hurts him. Cue Snape having a panic attack or on the verge of one, and Sirius stumbles across him. At first, he makes a joke or two, poking fun, but once he realizes how freaked out Snape is, he stops.

Snape tells him to go away, but he doesn't care. He sits next to him, walking him through breathing exercises, leaving after he calmed down.

Or

He doesn't leave after he calms down. He stays and realizes just how much damage he's doing, just how much this all affects him, and apologizes.

OR

James, Remus, Peter, wtv, someone discovers him helping Snape calm down, and continues to poke fun at Snape or something like that, and Sirius just tells them to fuck off, and then continuing to help him calm down.
