He/him. Levon, but Lee is okay. LGBTQIA+ 18+ I post mostly about Snape. Important: @Zephahhhh is my bro

Just the thought of enjoying his youth in school finding his people, a group of weridos – art freaks, music geeks, socially anxious reclusives who like reading. Their group has a few quidditch players and those who occasionally like to get high under the Hogwarts quidditch stands.  Death eater propaganda and the war are so far from him, because they are just here for good vibes.

A few that like shopping, fashion and reading magazines.

They like to style severus’ hair and they gave him his first proper hair cut. 

Can you imagine them just accepting him into the group? they like that he’s so funny and smart and though severus can’t understand where he would fit in there… he’s happy just the same.

he’s made the friends he’s always wanted – and if lily and his friendship ends up ending for whatever reason – he’s not alone and they support him during his grief.

They stand up for him, when James tried to bully him and he stands up for them when James tried to bother them. They just find so much peace at the bottom of the social ladder. 

A quick time out from commissions to make this quick chibi Sev.

I know the quote is up for interpretation, but it’s Pride! Let’s have fun!❤️❤️

#HappyPride, everyone! ❤️❤️😘😘

Can you imagine I genuinely forgot to post my latest Sev art on here? Inexcusable. I worked on this very hard, for a long time, so please give our favourite grumpy Potions Master some love! ♥️🧪⚗️

I like the scar! And very beautiful painting!

DO NOT SUPPORT AI

They will not stop unless we refuse to give them money. Do not support ai. Only human made art!

Ok, say you don't care about artists jobs. You suck, but I get some people truly don't care.

Here's why you should still boycott.

Game companies are spending less money and giving you an inferior product *and not charging less*

They are not paying aritsts anynore, but they are pocketing the saving and not reducing the cost to consumers.

So if you don't want to b boycott over artists being screwed, boycott over you being screwed.

I believe Snape is autistic

(FYI: I’m autistic myself and I have autistic children.)

  • He’s lonely. He doesn’t really have friends. We know of Lily, we also hear about Lucius Malfoy, but we don’t really see their friendship which in my opinion is much less close than fans believe. As a student he’s so alone that no one but Lily tries to stop the bullying.
  • He doesn’t participate in any social meetings. He’s quite miserable during the Christmas in Harry’s third year. He patrols the corridors and the grounds instead of attending the Yule Ball. He doesn’t stay for dinner after the Order meetings. He only attends the DE meetings because he has to.
  • His peers at school think he’s weird. Lily’s friends from Gryffindor don’t understand why she’s friends with him. When Harry asks why the Marauders bullied him, Sirius says he was different, weird, he was an "oddball". Autistic children and teenagers are often bullied because they are perceived as not normal, awkward, weird.
  • He doesn’t make a normal eye contact, he stares a bit too much. It can be partly explained by Legillimency, but he stared too much even as a teenager.
  • There’s a difference between how he speaks as a teenager and as an adult. It doesn’t sound entirely natural, he definitely had to put effort into that. It’s partly because he doesn’t want to sound like a poor man with a northern (?) accent, but autistic struggle with fluent communication may also be a reason.
  • He insists on precise definitions: Legilimency is not mind-reading, ghosts are not transparent but they are imprints of departed souls. He’s irritated that Harry has "no subtlety" and he doesn’t "understand fine distinctions".
  • He’s quite rude. He might be just *evil*, but he may just not fully understand how cruel he actually sounds. From his point of view he’s just honest and doesn’t beat around the bush. OK, maybe he’s a little mean, but not cruel… right?
  • He uses sarcasm (a lot of autistics actually do), but he doesn’t really appreciate Harry’s and other people’s sass, he treats their words too seriously.
  • He usually speaks coldly / calmly / without much emotion.
  • He’s usually dispassionate, he has limited facial expressions. Many autistic people also have a "resting b!tch face" unless they try to look more "normal". Perhaps he isn’t always as hateful as Harry thinks, perhaps it’s just his face.
  • He seems a little oblivious to other people’s emotional state and seems to analyse their behavior more intellectually.
  • He has special interests: Dark Arts / DADA and Potions.
  • He has his own collection of Potions ingredients, including rare ones, collection of weird jars (I guess they may contain some Potions ingredients, but also he may like them because of visual stimming aspect) and vast collection of books at home.
  • His Potions ingredients must be very orderly, he knows immediately that something is missing and what it is.
  • He "loves" rules. Students are breaking the rules? He takes points or gives detention. The Marauders are bullying him? He wants them expelled. (While Harry deals with the bullies on his own.) He’s caught Sirius whom he believes to be responsible for Lily’s death? He’s going to hand him over to the Ministry and the Dementors. (While Sirius and Remus want to murder Peter themselves.)
  • Since Snape likes rules and order, Harry who is a bit wild and unpredictable annoys him.
  • He doesn’t wash his hair as often as he should. It could be partly because of his poor background (he was neglected, he wasn’t taught to take a proper care of his hair, he didn’t even have a real bathroom as a child), partly because he has no one to look nice for, partly because of the Potions fumes. Autism might make him care less about his appearance. (He does care about hygiene though. Apparently he shaves regularly and Harry would certainly notice if Snape was dirty or smelly. His sallow skin and teeth have nothing to do with hygiene, it’s a result of his poverty and malnutrition.)
  • He stimms: He’s shredding leaves as a child. He’s flexing his fingers after the Shrieking Shack incident. During the Occlumency lessons he’s touching his lips with his finger while he’s thinking.
  • He has some sensory issues. He wears the same, a little baggy robes (they flutter as he walks). He’s sensitive to light: his Potions classroom is dim (it’s in the dungeons, but he could brighten it up with magic); he makes his DADA classroom dim, even though it’s no longer in the dungeons; when Harry comes to his first Occlumency lesson, Snape waits for him in a dark room. (You know, people don’t do things like that because they’re evil, it doesn’t make sense).
  • As a teenager he walks "like a spider" and generally he isn’t good at sports (we see him on a broom three times: in a memory of his unsuccessful flying lesson at school, being very pale and probably frightened after refereeing the Quidditch match in PS and trying to curse a DE and missing during the Battle of Seven Harrys).
  • John Nettleship whom Snape was partly based on was probably autistic.

Severus started life with nothing, so he thinks that everything needs to be earned.

He earned Lily's friendship by telling her about magic.

He tried to earn his place in the wizarding world by studying hard, inventing new spells, etc.

He earned his place within Hogwarts, and Slytherin doing whatever he needed to do - befriending people like Mulciber - keeping Lupin's secret for Dumbledore.

He earned his place among the Death Eaters by spying, then earned his way back to Dumbledore's trust by defecting.

He earned his forgiveness, and his redemption by doing "anything" Albus asked.

Who are you?

I started to write a little, tiny fic. My first short story and… well, guess what. Yeah. I ended drawing a scene from it, lol. Feeling helpless now. I still want to finish it. Hopefully tomorrow?

Can you guess, though, who or what this Severus is?

Made for @houseofsnarry discord game, one more time! Team Mushroom ɷ◡ɷ

guys i've been wondering since i know almost nothing about the snape fandom (i'm not in it, and have no interest in being in it) but do his fans acknowledge the whole 'greasy hair', 'ugly', 'big nose' thing?? i know that snape fans find him hot and stuff, but do you leave those features out of his fanon character? because i think it's common knowledge that those things are massive jewish stereotypes and pretty antisemitic on jkr's part, however then would it also be offensive to ignore those features because they're inherently unconventionally attractive, and by trying to make him more attractive, you're saying that a character has to be pretty to be liked??

we find him attractive explicitly for those traits.

@/all my mutuals, let's show them how much we love his big nose and greasy hair and ugly complexion.
