Another Snape lover

But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting.  Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible.  Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible.  Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.

rosier: it’s good of you to open up, malfoy!

lucius: fuck off, i don’t mean me. i mean snape.

mulciber: shouldn’t he tell us himself? it’s pretty rude to expose his secrets.

lucius: these aren’t fucking secrets. they’re safety precautions.

avery: so manly that you’re concerned about him!

lucius: i’m not! this is a warning for *you*. if you don’t listen, it’s not my problem.

everyone:

malfoy: if you see him outside of his room at midnight, do 👏 not 👏 approach 👏 him and call me immediately. i don’t care if i’m sleeping, wake me up and tell me where he is, do not approach him.

avery: this is a little dramatic, malfoy.

rosier: i don’t get it, what’s the big deal?

lucius, grimacing: this little shit sleep-fights. it was bad enough when he didn’t use his quirks. i’m telling you for your own health. if you don’t want to spontaneously fucking die, do not interact.

———————one week later ———————

lucius: what did i tell you?

mulciber: don’t approach him after midnight.

lucius, turning to avery: and what did he do?

avery, sighing: approached him after midnight.

lucius, turning to rosier: and what did YOU do?

rosier, tearing up: snape smashed me through a wall and destroyed the ground floor of the dorms.

lucius: and where are you now, as a consequence of that?

Sidebar: actually I think that the fact that his immediate response to accidentally dropping a branch on Petunia is to deny it shows that he *is* an instinctive liar. He may not be a skilled one, but if we're taking the position that he knew he'd caused the branch to fall (and I think there can be an argument made that he didn't realize it, based on how little Harry realized his unintentional magic as a child, the only other examples we see of children using magic unintentionally), then the fact that Snape's first, knee-jerk response is to lie about it shows that his instinct is to do so. Which makes him an instinctive liar. Maybe not a convincing one, but an instinctive one nonetheless. And if that was his instinctive response and he wasn't very good at it, it's more likely that he worked on that skill and became a more convincing liar, rather than having lied less.

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"Christina has been sleeping head down in the middle of the vehicle, kind of like a bat"

"I've seen a lot of new perspectives, but my perspective has not changed because I launched with the perspective that there is enough for all." (After being asked if they had a new view on humankind.)

"On behalf of all Canadians, we wanted some reassurances of your preferences for maple syrup over Nutella on your pancakes."

What is mental health stigma? It’s when marauder fans ignore the fact that Snape was humiliated by their own idols and still had to work for years in the very environment where that trauma happened, enduring the constant mistakes of students, yet they still blame him and exaggerate things when he shows signs of being triggered.

What is a double standard? It’s whitewashing the marauders’ bad behavior and inventing positive qualities that don’t exist in the books, while at the same time smearing Snape’s good qualities and making up negative traits about him.
