Look, i love Remus Lupin, he’s my favourite marauder but if you think i’m going to be mad because Snape made him lose his job you are wrong. Remus insulted Snape on the marauder’s map, he humilitated him during the boggart’s lesson and never apologized for what he didn’t do when his shitty friends tormented him. Excuse me but snape had every reason to be petty or even cruel towards him. Remus was not a perfect depressed icon who eat chocolate and was nice to everyone. He was also flawed… there is no need to paint him as a cinnamonroll who never did anything wrong. It’s a disservice to his character.

As if Snape wasn’t a 31 year old man who bullied his crush’s spawn because he came out looking like his worst enemy. Acting like a few insults is worse than outing someone who didn’t have friends until he was 11 years old and lived in poverty his entire adult life knowing that outing him would make it impossible to find work. Being friends with a muggle born and then willingly joining the equivalent of a white supremacy group knowing full well they would kill his friend and calling her the equivalent of a racial slur? Acting as if this 33 year old man didn’t threaten to kill a 13 year old’s pet frog and the fact he was literally this boy’s worst fear fear knowing that the 13 year old had his parents tortured into insanity, was held by his ankles upside down out of a window and dropped because his family believed him to be a squib. Lupin matured Snape did not and the hate was mutual so no I don’t feel bad that Snape was insulted I don’t feel bad for adults who bully children and then get humiliated. He made fun of Hermione’s teeth when they were cursed by Malfoy to the point she permanently fixed them. So a couple jinxes and a few insults are minor in comparison to the things Snape did. I want to humiliate people like Snape!

Snape purposely outed him as a werewolf knowing he couldn’t find jobs to live above the poverty line. He was holding a school boy grudge.

Having a trauma because of bullying is not a "school boy grudge"... Snape was an asshole but it doesn't invalidate his suffering and the marauders' wrongdoings.

when you find an artist who draws your fave character exactly the way you like, but they only draw your NOTP 😭

You know how I know Snape is a good person? Cuz when Dumbledore gave him that "After all this time?" bullshit, he just said "Always" instead of "Well, you're still not over your toxic little fascist boyfriend after a whole century, but go off, I guess."

Snape literally went from "It would have served you right if Black had killed you" to "You've been raising him like a pig for slaughter" and I'm stunned because holy shit, that's an actual character arc.

Barbie movie defenders in my notes screaming "why do you expect so much out of a Barbie let people enjoy things it's not that deep" might be suffering from the ultimate case of wanting to have your cake and eat it too

Setting aside the fact that all art and media is political and subject to criticism, this is a movie that screams in basically every line of dialogue it wants to be considered a thesis statement on women, gender, and feminism. In a Barbie movie. That's the line it went with. Nobody held a gun to Greta Gerwig or Mattel's head and said this is what they needed to make but they did! And if you're going to attempt to make a two hour toy commercial into a feminist text people get to criticize your inherently limited and half-assed politics! Crazy!

I love a soft, deeply wounded but basically good Severus Snape. But I also like the idea of him just truly being awful. Down to his bones, angry and lashing out and taking his pain out on innocent people, and then, also, contributing to saving the world. The thing about ‘evil’ is…it’s complicated and human. It’s short sighted. It’s not one thing, it’s not a whole person. It’s choices, little ones that add up. Goodness isn’t a single thing, either. Cruel people can do a right thing, or fight on the right side, and still be awful. The world is crazy like that. People are complex.
