As a descendant of sea sponges, whose ancestors were ruthlessly exploited by Roman patricians for their decadent baths, as someone whose great-great-great-sponge ancestors experienced the full weight of class oppression when rich Romans used them in their thermal baths, as someone with deep sponge trauma, I understand better than anyone the dynamics between different social classes.
And I declare — James Potter didn't “bully” Snape because he was poor
Something about the men who turned Harry's life upside down...
Snarry and Tomarrymort are the most mentally stimulating ships I know
men should start competing with each other in being good people. we get it, you run the fastest and punch the hardest and sex the brutalest. can you be good at the grownup stuff now? like impulse control and cooperation and self-awareness? can you find the big boy in you sometime soon? it’s fucking boring.
I like shipping people that almost nobody ever thought of shipping together and have the potential to be really interesting.
Like Molly x Voldemort, Molly x Sirius, Ron x Voldemort, Andromeda x Bellatrix, Lucius x Hermione, Blaise x Ron and so much more 😄
Severus Snape and Sirius Black are narrative mirrors, mainly for their shared grief for a lost loved one but also for how they both projected their relationship with James onto Harry.
Sirius saw James in Harry. He wished James was in Harry and the main reason he protected and loved Harry was because of his devotion and grief for James. He did love Harry regardless, but he still connected James to Harry significantly to a point he didn’t recognize Harry as his own person.
Severus saw James in Harry. He convinced himself James is in Harry, because he hated seeing Lily in Harry. He hated looking into those eyes, so he kept himself in denial, because that's how he coped.
Sirius isn't a manchild that only saw Harry as James. But there is a character in canon that is like that, and that character is Snape.
If you are a real-life pedophile, necrophile, or zoophile, you are not welcome in the proship community. Get out and create your own.
She was born between 1st September 1972 and 31st August 1973 (probably 1973), which means she had just ended her education when Harry became a 1st year. So he never saw her at all. They missed each other by a year.
Every time someone says that Tonks was at school with Harry in canon an angel loses their wings
fanfic authors b like ‘haha this chapter got a little out of hand it’s a little longer like 60k words’
