Harry: I'm so hungry, I could eat Charity Burbage.
Snape: *visibly distressed* You could eat what?
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?
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.
Everyone always talks about imagining scenes and not being able to write them, but have you ever had the opposite happen? Cause it's literally me 24/7.
I'll be in the mood to write, having a general idea of what I want, and I can't stop writing, but I also can't keep thinking of things. The last time this happened, I didn't stop for 2 whole days, didn't sleep. Wrote while writing, wrote while crying, literally all day, but I just kept rewriting cause I physically couldn't think of other scenes.
Hello. How are you ? I'm marriane what's your name and where are you from ?
Hi, I'm alright, I'm from America, and my name's Luke. 👍
Tw brief mentions of sexual assault.
It makes me mad that Skip Westcott isn't in the movies. Male victims have almost no representation, and the ones we do have are just jokes or not even recognized as assault. He doesn't infantalize victims, he shows it can happen to you and still be normal, which would have been amazing. It's definitely something a lot of kids out there need, especially young boys who are completely left out of the conversation.
Harry: do you have a toe fast?
Harry: row fat
Harry: row cat
Harry: town cast? Town. Tow?
Harry: Toe
Severus, deeply concerned and exhasperated: Do I need to call an ambulance? Did you hit your head today?
If I make a joke about my home life, your reaction should not be "Oh my gosh, so sorry! Reach out, get better!" Your reaction should be "Oh my gosh, could never be me. Lol, skill issue, tbh."
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.
Snape: You're an insufferable child.
Harry: but you love me!
Snape: You're still insufferable.
Severitus where Harry is deeply hurt/affected by Severus' strict/old-fashioned/etc parenting styles.
Severus is always portrayed as strict, sometimes bordering on straight up abusive, but then because he's better than the Dursleys, readers and authors alike tend to agree that it's okay. (IF THAT'S WHAT YOU LIKE, THAT'S FINE SO LONG AS THERE'S A DISCLAIMER.)
But arguably, most often, his tactics are rather harsh. Maybe he's firm on the whole open door policies, or washing mouths out with soap, I've seen a lot with spanking as well, but there's never any after effect, so make there be one.
Oh, he washed his mouth out with soap? Now he's scared to talk.
Spanked? He doesn't see the difference, frankly I don't either, though, so I don't have much to offer here.
No door policy? He feels watched.
Whatever you decide, there should be a point of realization that this is harmful. However that decided though differs.
Make Harry write an essay about Scary Things, and instead of writing about something normal, he writes about how he's terrified of messing up.
Maybe Severus discovers a diary.
Or, and something that I find worked with their personalities, is a massive fight. Harry messed up, and now Severus is threatening whatever, and Harry loses it. "I want to go back to the Dursleys, because at least I know they're cruel, with you it's a mix up."
It's so angsty, om nom nom nom.
Idk what I'm doing. MCU, Harry Potter, wtv else I want? 1# most basic man to have ever existed.
