I Actually Have A Backlog Of Ben 10 Content I Haven’t Posted Here Cause I Don’t Think Any Of Its

laughing through the pain

I’m ovulating so damn bad !!! I’m horny as fuck for Viktor rn. I need him to put me through the mattress or a black hole in space to reach The Final Glorious Orgasm / Ovulation or whatever he said.

I know it’s cannon that Snape has/had an accent when he was younger because of where he grew up but I don’t see enough people talking about it and I like to headcannon that it’s a bit stronger/more obscure than it actually is.

Snape didn’t go to a private school when he was younger like Lily did, so he never knew how to speak “proper English”, therefore Lily has to translate him to others.

It’s the first indicator that he’s not a pureblood to the other slytherins, they make it their life goals to repeat words he “mispronounces”

Lupin can understand him clearly because he traveled so much he knows a bit of everything. He even says a few things the same as him.

Potter tried to make fun of his accent exactly once and was very quickly put in his place by Lily who reminded him she talks the same when she’s comfortable around people which he reply’s “that’s not true you don’t talk like that around me” which just just says exactly and moves on.

Snape is forced to learn “proper English” by Malfoy/Regulus/Mulciber. He hates it and purposefully disobeys them during “class” but out in public he does try to talk like them.

When he’s older he perfectly trained himself to speak proper, however anytime he’s even slightly upset it comes out full force.

Nearly every every order meeting has him slipping back to his accent. Lupin likes to pretend it’s because he’s finally learning to trust people.

currently thinking about mary 'female casanova of gryffindor tower' macdonald & sirius 'casanova of hogwarts' black and their LOSER partners. marlene is scared of dragonflies and gets attached to worms and remus is a complete pushover who's so scared of hurting people he stays alone and quiet. UGH. im SICK.

I’m so hyperfixated on Snape it’s not even funny anymore. I see him everywhere I go, I’m eating take out- I imagine him just sitting next to me complaining about how awful my taste is. I’m doing something productive? I imagine him doing it with me. God I hate hyper fixation 😔/hj

bertram!

ONE DAY

I know that we often criticize JK Rowling's writing (and with good reason), but there's one thing I believe she got right: how she portrays Harry finding out about his father's bullying.

Since the beginning of the books, we see Harry's parents as these perfect heroes, who gave their lives to save their son. So, obviously, this orphan child idolizes his parents - and so do we, as readers.

The only person who goes against that idea is Snape, who only ever says bad things about James Potter. However, Harry doesn't believe him, and neither do the readers.

And then, we see Snape's memories and find out that he was right all along. That James wasn't a perfect hero, but used to be a violent bully who tormented people for fun. Just like Harry, we get disenchanted, like we have been deceived this entire time.

Harry idolizes his father, but he's still capable of recognizing that his actions were cruel and inexcusable. Harry hates Snape, but still acknowledges that he didn't deserve that kind of treatment. It's a good message to show that people aren't just "good" or "bad".

And because of that, it's even more frustrating when fans try to defend James' actions, by saying: "Actually, no, Snape was a bad person, so he deserved to be bullied".

Even Harry HATES Snape and is able to see that what his father did is horrible. Harry adores Sirius and adores Remus, and yet he tells them to piss off when they try to justify the bullying. The purpose of that scene is for Harry to demystify his father, to learn that he wasn’t perfect, and to start doubting the adult figures of his childhood. It’s a way to break away from childish innocence and to make the protagonist understand that not everything is black or white, and that even good people can do horrible things, and it’s not right to idealize anyone.

The scene is designed to seem horrible. Harry finds it horrible. Harry. James’s son. Sirius’s godson. Harry finds what they did disgusting, and they’re doing it to someone Harry hates. This isn’t accidental; narrative and storytelling aren’t accidental things. The scene is set up this way, and the protagonist’s reaction is what it is because Rowling is telling the reader that it was horrible, that James and Sirius were bullies, and that Snape was their victim. Denying this goes against the narrative. But justifying it with absurdities like saying it was Snape’s fault for not wearing pants?? I get that they are kids saying these things, but one day they’ll wake up at 25 and realize the nonsense they said online, and they’re really going to feel terrible shame.

The worst part is that they’re not interested in understanding other points of view. Like, you share links or articles with different perspectives, and they don’t care. They don’t give a damn about the canon; they literally deny it. The mental gymnastics they do to justify the abuse? But then they say the scenes are open to interpretation, like, hello? They’re not? The scenes are designed to convey a message, and the message is clear. That they need to deny it over and over again to avoid admitting they’re whitewashing and justifying wealthy abusers is their cognitive dissonance running wild. Honestly, what a damn shame these people are; I don’t care if they’re kids, I had more than two neurons at 15.

It’s wild how some people attack nine-year-old Snape for a burst of accidental magic.

Imagine someone like Petunia poking at every raw nerve: mocking your looks, poverty, and family—relentlessly pressing your deepest insecurities. Be honest how many of you would actually keep your cool?? Yeah, thought so. But sure, let’s hold nine-year-old Snape to standards most adults struggle to meet.

Sorry—not sorry—that Severus Snape was nine. Sorry that he was neglected and surrounded by violence. Sorry he felt so insecure after being humiliated for wearing his mother’s clothes, passed down out of poverty, in front of his peers. Sorry he didn’t have years of therapy to regulate his emotions and meet your impossibly high standards for 'acceptable reactions.'

But sure, keep judging a child just trying to survive in a world that offered him nothing but pain. If labeling a traumatized kid a 'Nazi' or 'terrorist' makes you feel superior, go ahead.

(How easy it is to condemn a child for being human.)
