Reasons I love and hate Severus Snape, a rant
Let’s start with why I love/relate to my dear snappy, ya? Okay. So this badass, brave motherfucker is my soulmate. I absolutely adore him, and this is why:
I, too was abused by my father (mostly emotional, sometimes physically) and I overcame that shit like the badass bitch I am (still terrified of loud sounds like shattering glass and raised voices)
I, too was brutally bullied at school to the point of assault (a girl once dumped an entire chocolate cake all over me and slammed chunks into my face/body and everyone was yelling at me to eat it bc I’m fat, and another time I was told to kill myself and my angsty, depressed ass said that I would - weekend passes and I take the Monday off bc cramps - and I arrive at school on the Tuesday to my entire year group cheering and a girl coming up to me saying “they’re cheering bc they think you killed yourself” I was in 7th grade, 12 years old)
My best friend (who I was hella in love with) dated a guy who bullied me (and later her while they were still together) and my little confused heart was crushed. (I didnt call her names or lash out at her because I was very confused as to why i was SO JEALOUS of my bully and why I was so hurt she was with someone else) but still, I get you Snappy, my love.
I was diagnosed at 12 with depression and anxiety and for seven years (12-18 years old) I self harmed and HATED MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE AND SAW NO POINT IN CONTINUING then I plucked up the harry potter series for the first time since reading it as a wee little tot and low and behold, I instantly see Severus Snape’s character and BITCH you bet your ass that I fell in love with his problematic ass because holly shit balls, he and I have SO MUCH in common and I saw how STRONG and BRAVE he was and thought “if severus can do it I can do it” and u bet ur ass I soldiered on because severus snape soldiered on with his life, too.
But despite all of this, I know Severus Snape isnt a 100% good person. He’s a bully and cold and cruel and human trash, but that doesn’t mean I cant love my little butthead wholeheartedly!!! And when I saw people saying shit online like “snape deserves to die he’s a terrible human being and anyone who likes him is also a horrible person,” I was absolutely crushed. My entire being went cold and I’m like ????? Wot m8??? I’m a horrible person for relating to a fictional character??? Who had a similar childhood/high school experience like me??? K???
In conclusion: Severus Snape is human trash, but I love him wholeheartedly and i, too am human trash but i love me too so i hope u snaters accidentally eat the brown part of a banana. Thanx.
