The marauders stans in your comments are really something, huh?
["I personally care about Dorcas and Pandora. They interest me... I want to know what lead to Dorcas snapping and almost tearing apart everything Voldemort had built."]
Sorry, when did Dorcas did that?
"That's Dorcas Meadowes, Voldemort killed her personally..." - only thing said about her in the books, from the wiki.
They are inventing sh*t and pretending it is canon all the time. Voldypants personally killing this random woman doesn’t mean she was almost destroying what he build - we are talking about a madman here, he made a show of killing Charity, doesn’t mean that Charity was "tearing apart" what he build.
Exactly—that’s what happens when you shit all over canon: eventually people can’t even tell fiction from reality anymore. They blur everything together until nothing makes sense. Then you get someone trying to come for you, asking if you’ve even read the books or if you just watched the movies—and it’s like, mate, what are you even talking about? You clearly don’t know the characters you’re talking about, because half of them don’t even show up in the films!
It’s always the same story: people who don’t actually know the lore, the context, or the characters, they just hop on the latest trend and run with it.

Romoine nation how we feelinnn! This is my entry for the lovely @toorumlk ‘s dtiys! Thought I’d post it here too hehe
Maybe I'm in my own echo chamber but I'm so glad more people are starting to realise how annoying and absolutely hateful the marauders fandom is and how much damage ATYD did for it AND the Harry Potter fandom in general. When did this fandom turn into a Wolfstar and Jegulus digital shrine? So many interesting characters and stories and opportunities to explore and you choose to regurgitate what a random fic incorrectly tagged as canon complaint says?
I'm not even joking, it has gotten to the point where literal adults with fully functioning brains lack the comprehension abilities to form their own opinions about characters.
I'm not saying that people arent allowed to enjoy non canon compliant work because they absolutely are and I encourage it because that's the whole point of a fandom and fanfics in general but it also goes the other way around when fans start raging at you because you tell them to engage with something outside of ATYD for once and to explore characters beyond somebody else's scope.
It's annoying when you arent allowed to have fun or post a character without somebody bashing you for liking them and redirecting their hatred for a character AT YOU.
For example, ATYD paints Snape as a rich, stuck-up pureblooded fascist creep who deserved to get bullied when its actually the exact opposite and everybody goes along with it.
ITS BORING AND REPETITIVE. It takes away so much fun from a fandom.
Pls ppl. I am begging you to open your minds up a bit and think for yourself instead of regurgitating some rando's opinion in order to fit in.
Also, what's up with critiquing everybody and their mother for not agreeing with your boring ass ship??
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.
everyone can argue & defend snape all they want but tbh deep down irdgaf!! like at allll!!
his complexity & controversial actions is what makes him a great character .. in fact, I wish he was MORE of an asshole to everybody in that story actually!
Honestly, my main problem with people trying to paint Severus as the reincarnation of the devil is that he really wasn’t that bad of a person. I mean, within the world of Harry Potter, where the moral and emotional depth of the characters is flatter than an ironing board, sure, we can place him somewhere on the spectrum of morally gray characters. But in literally any other universe with an adult perspective and moral framework, he’d be nothing more than a mischievous puppy that trashed the house once, got punished for it, and never peed inside again.
He’s not even a bad guy—he’s just an insufferable bastard with psychological issues who made bad choices as a kid and then regretted them, all while keeping his bad temper. Honestly, I wish he had been more of a bastard. I would’ve thoroughly enjoyed it if he had let the dementors kill Sirius or poisoned one of Remus’ wolfsbane potions. And even if he had done that, I wouldn’t have thought it was that bad because, frankly, if you take revenge on your bullies, well… there’s a certain— I don’t know— a level of understanding to that.
But anyway, what exactly did he do that was so terrible? Objectively, what did he do that was so bad? We spend our lives fangirling over and worshipping characters who have committed mass genocides, killed children, left kids quadriplegic, burned down entire cities, and are complete psychopaths—yet suddenly, we get all moralistic over a character who followed a shitty cult when he was 17 or 18 and was later just a rude bastard to a handful of annoying kids? Seriously? What world do these people live in? Your upstairs neighbor is probably a worse person than he ever was.
