I think the reason why people would be pro-draco but anti-snape is for a few reasons.
Raising your own kid to be hateful and bigoted can be considered it's own form of abuse(something similar happened to Dudley. The point where this stops being abuse is when they're old enough/have the opportunity to gain perspective. Draco, Dudley, and Severus all get that change in perspective)
Reader's/watcher's can more clearly tell the driving force behind Draco's words and actions because it gets brought up all the time(up until book 5, reader's don't get anything except hindsight for Severus' story)
While Severus did change sides and redeem himself, he was a dick to most of his students and made it very clear that fairness wasn't a high priority(I understand that this was to uphold his reputation so he could continue to be a spy, and to try and counteract the Slytherin bias, but 2 wrongs still don't make a right or brownie points
TL;DR: Raising a kid to be a bigot is abuse, let's not play into trauma olympics. Severus' abuse and trauma didn't get enough page time Severus continued to be a dick post-redemption. Draco had his redemption at the tail-end of the series and didn't get time to continue being an ass or not
Do the “Draco was just a boy, Snape was an adult!” crowd realize that Severus is significantly younger in the books? Severus was only 20-21 when he turncoaked The Deatheaters and become a spy, the brain doesn’t develop impulse control and non-b&w thinking until 25 at the absolute earliest and prolonged trauma (which Severus had and Draco didn’t) physically damages the brain, slowing that process down.
Severus was groomed as a teenager (about the same age as Draco was) into a rising cult by an, at the time, charismatic young Tom Riddle who was at his height of manipulation and power. And Severus was canonically abused by a muggle man and by Gryffindors mercilessly his whole developing years. That crowd incessantly fanons that Draco was “abused” by his parents when he wasn’t but hate Severus like make it make sense.
Holy shit transphobes are so stupid
A dragon who decides to hoard mint and various types of mint plants (and not knowing that mint has the mushroom’s blessing of inevitability were ever its planted) can go one of two ways.
1: The dragon is absolutely horrified as the mint engulfs and takes over its den. Its gold? Mint. Its gems and goblets? Mint. Its stores of wine? Mint. No matter what they do they can’t get rid of it.
2: The dragon is delightfully ecstatic as the mint engulfs and takes over its den. It’s a self growing hoard. No matter what any adventurers or knights do, they can’t get rid of it.
Does that make you a sadist then 😏🥵
@lizza-yarnscaping you've finally made it as my tumblr crush. So hot 🥵 I'm like, so obsessed with you.
It was never about the babies, but it doesn’t matter even if it was.
If you're in a pinch and thread and needles are unavailable, I'd recommend using superglue to hold yourself together
i love having a corporeal form. i love eating warm food on cold days. i love taking hot showers. i love sleeping on clean sheets. i delight in earthly decadence. i wake up and eat warm bread slathered in butter. i own multiple pairs of soft fuzzy socks. this body is so comfy and i'm not returning it any time soon
OH you know what? let's do controversial mental health/psychiatry opinions.
• forcibly institutionalizing psychotic people in times of crisis can not only worsen the situation but create lifelong trauma and further distrust in medical professionals and medication. it should not be a go-to option. believe it or not we still have human feelings despite a disconnect from reality.
• children should not be identified as 'sociopaths' both because antisocial behavior in childhood can be treated and because it's often a sign the child is being abused or neglected.
• people should be able to admit they're suicidal and/or self harming without fear of being institutionalized. with threat of institutionalization they won't get better, they'll just hide it more.
• not wanting to take certain medication does not make you hopeless and 'anti recovery', there are valid reasons why someone may be apprehensive towards medication as treatment and it doesn't make you delusional.
• everyone deserves autonomy in treatment, including psychotic people
• can you tell this post is partially personal rage
• oh well i'm still right about everything
