#Snape supremacy

Why do so many people use James maturing to defend him?
Alright, I get that he matured. But just because a bully stops bullying others, does not mean they suddenly become a nice person. Maturing is the minimum a bully can do. It is enough to say they are self-aware, but not enough to call them nice.
Did James apologize to his victims? As a former Marauders stan, I actually used to think that James bullying Snape was justified, and the height of cool. I too became like him for one absolutely cringeworthy year. And like James, I matured. But the thing is, I actually made an effort to mend things with my victims. James never did that, not with Severus, not with Bertram Aubrey, not with ANY of the thousands of kids he hexed for fun. Hell, I know he could not have apologized to all the kids he bullied, but he could have made a speech in apology.
Another thing people use to defend James is that he joined the Order of the Phoenix. That is because he was raised in a cult that worshipped the Light, which also gave a damn about him. He is basically Draco Malfoy but raised in the Light, while Snape is a Harry Potter who was indoctrinated towards the Dark. Both ultimately did the right thing, but like Draco and Harry, Snape was braver than James.

Okay, I just wanna talk about the "Snape Slander" and Marauders Slander that's been going around for too long now.
First off, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't give a fuck about your opinion. If you think this is right and this is wrong. You do you babes.
I'm not going to go and be a toxic bitch and try to change your opinion on that matter.
I like James Potter and I like Severus Snape too.
I know the Marauders bullying Snape doesn't excuse any of his action when he grew up and became a professor. I'll admit I hate him for most of his doings but there's some things that I like about him too.
Yes, he is a blood supremacist and I fucking hate him for that and for calling Lily a slur he's also a fucking asshole for that and he's just an asshole for a lot of things but you cannot ignore how great he is at spying. wtf he did a great fucking job.
Also please don't forget that Reggie was also a blood supremacist and he also admired Voldemort before joining his inner circle. Yes, for the most part he didn't agree with Voldemort's ideals and he did such a selfless thing but you still cannot ignore the fact he killed muggles and is a blood supremacist.
James Potter also isn't all that superior. He bullied Snape just like Snape bullied him and his friends. Look, 4 vs. 1 wtf is that?
And please to all the people who says "James did what he needed to do." Okay, bully people? Wtf is that mindset.
I can have my own opinion and you can have yours. If you can respect mine, thank you. But if you don't it's also fine but don't try and change my mind and talk to me about shit. You can reblog this and share your opinion about it but please don't be an asshole.

"So tell me, Severus... when were you planning to tell me... that this boy here... IS A HORCRUX OF MINE?!", Voldemort asked calmly.
Welp... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows gone wrong, rip to Dumbledore's entire well-planned plan 😂

Just imagine -
Severus Snape giving one of his 7th years such a ticking off. In the middle of his tirade he stops, accios a chair, and climbs onto it so he can loom more effectively as all the 7th years are taller than he is.

Lily Evans tries. She’s always tried. Since the moment she knew what it was to not be enough, she’s tried. Because she hasn’t been enough. Not for her sister, Petunia, who’s dismissed her and pushed her away as an annoying little sister since birth, who pushed her away as an anomaly, a witch, since the moment that letter came on her eleventh birthday. Not for her best friend, Severus, who dismisses her time and time again, always superior, always confident in the fact that he’s a wizard. A real one. Not enough for the entirety of the magical community, who treat her as inferior simply because she is muggleborn, not one of their perfect, ‘valid’ magicians.
And so she tries. Tries to be perfect, because she knows that if she’s not perfect, she won’t be enough.
So Lily Evans is perfect. The beautiful, straight-A student with all the answers and all of the confidence that surely comes along with it. Except it’s not real, none of it is. Sure, maybe she is beautiful. But what is beauty without something behind it? She’s learned the hard way that people like to look at pretty things, sometimes even like to be close to them, but it’s not enough at face value. So she has another layer, of course, because it’s not enough. She’s smart, she gets all of the best grades, and every teacher likes her. But it’s not enough, because people will still come to her with questions that she doesn’t know the answer to and she’ll be left with the overwhelming, rotting taste of disappointment weighing heavily upon her tongue. So she tries to make up for it by being likable. She’s as kind as she can be, she can make others laugh, even, but she still has lapses where she’ll fail. There’s never really a balance, she finds, between being too much and not enough for others. She’s too much when passionate, fiery with a heat that pushes others away. Not enough, never enough, when she’s not actively trying to get them to like her. It’s just—not enough.
At the heart of it, she really does know the issue. It took her awhile to figure this out, but it was undoubtedly Severus who helped her, even if it was most definitely not his intention. Severus is the only one she ever does try to be herself with, because surely he of all people can’t afford to leave her if she does something wrong. And she does do a lot of wrong things, especially around him, it would seem. He’s always laughing at her, pointing out how foolish or undereducated she is. And despite the fact that it makes her feel horrible, makes her want to curl up into herself, she likes it. It’s predictable; Severus is predictable, and it gives her some semblance of control.
“‘I think I wait for people to hurt me,’ she said quietly, ‘and when they do I feel a certain smugness at being right. And, after that, I just feel pain.’ - Sue Zhao
And the pain is what makes her realize the issue: that she’s the issue. That’s what’s at the basis of everything, really, and it explains why she never expects so much out of anyone else without questioning why she expects so much out of herself. From there on, it’s a new way of trying. It’s an attempt to discover who she is. But nothing’s different. It still doesn’t work.
“Nothing had changed. I was the stupid one again. I was the girl who never understood who she was to people.” -Carol Rifka Brunt
And it matters, what other people think, Lily decides. Because she can’t tell herself who she is, no. She knows that, at least.
"We are reduced to asking others what we are. We never dare to ask ourselves." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau
She’s biased towards herself, of course, and she sees the ways everyone else’s biases affect the way they see themselves. She refuses to be like that, no, she needs to be better, always better. She can’t afford to think of herself as anything other than what’s actually there, because she needs to prune what is there in order to present it as a finished product that others will accept. So she can’t find out who she is in confidence, she decides, because if she’s confident in her conclusions, she won’t undergo further analysis and will inevitably end up forming the wrong conclusions like everyone else does.
"My deplorable mania for analysis exhausts me. I doubt everything, even my doubt." -Gustave Flaubert
The doubt creeps in slowly, at first. But eventually it expands and quickens, consumes everything in its path. Only, she’s the one in its path. And she can’t let it go, she just can’t. She willingly let it in, after all, so she keeps it. Tucks it close to her chest and keeps it day in and day out, once again sure that a destructive force is the only thing that she can rely on to always be there. She’s not wrong, too, the doubt is always there, and eventually it drives a wedge in between herself and her soul. A great, gaping chasm that pushes her farther and farther away from herself, to the point where she feels like she’s separate from herself and simply watching her actions from a distance.
"My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?" -Fernando Pessoa
Something changes, though, in fifth year. Lily is forced to be a prefect alongside Remus Lupin. Remus Lupin, who she’s originally convinced she doesn’t like because he’s willingly friends with James Potter. She doesn’t like Remus, so she doesn’t try to get him to like her. And it is so very freeing. Gradually, she begins to look forward to her rounds with him. Gradually, she begins to look forward to seeing him. Gradually, she begins to spend extra time with him, studying together in the library. Gradually, she becomes friends with him. And Remus is the best friend she’s ever had. He’s kind and funny and welcoming, he never makes fun of her in a demeaning way, as Severus would, but rather teases her in a way that genuinely makes her laugh. And because she never originally tried, she never really starts. The only effort she makes is to just be friends with him, which really doesn’t take any effort at all. Remus just—understands her.
"There's nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood." -Brad Meltzer
And so Remus and Lily are friends—best friends. Lily is actually comfortable around him, actually trusts him. She doesn’t know who starts it, even, but soon they start sharing things, important things. They both have a lot of important things to share, it turns out. Remus is a gay werewolf that’s hopelessly in love with one of his best friends, and Lily is a muggleborn witch that’s desperately trying to be enough. So they support each other and Lily gets to see for the first time what it means to be a good friend. And she realizes that Severus? Well, Severus simply isn’t a good friend. He hurts her time and time again, and she’s always let him in the name of “friendship”. But she learns that that’s not how it should be.
"Giving somone a second chance is like giving them an extra bullet for their gun because they missed you the first time" -James Hilton
So she stops giving Severus a reloaded gun every time he hurts her, and eventually it stops altogether. She moves on. Moves on and makes new friends. She makes the effort to try to be real friends with Mary and Marlene, who she had always been cordial with but too scared to ever really try to form a real relationship with them. Also, being friends with Severus maybe did have a discouraging effect on anyone who did want to be friends with her, but he’s gone now. So she becomes incredibly close with them incredibly quickly, and starts interacting more with the other Gryffindors. Remus even introduces (really introduces) her to the rest of the Marauders, and despite everything between all of them, she becomes friends with them too. By the end of sixth year, she has such a tight circle of close friends that she’s finally realized the truth of the matter when it came to her desperate desire to be accepted.
“It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I'd been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on this earth as though I had a right to be here.” -James Baldwin
Lily Evans has a right be here, just as she is. She faces her seventh and final year at Hogwarts, with friends, and maybe even a growing attraction fondness for James Potter. (She would never admit that under any circumstances, though). But still, it’s a wonder how much she’s changed. She still deals with insecurity, of course, but she knows the truth now. She finally feels like she has a right to be here, and she likes herself as she is. And that in and of itself? Well. It’s enough.

Voldemort controls the basilisk with parseltongue. Harry apparently controls Voldemort with parseltongue... 😂

Here’s some chaos: Contrary to what seemingly 95% of the fandom believes, I’m pretty sure that there’s no canon evidence that Sirius and James specifically targeted Slytherins nor that they hated them. The only real comment we get about this was the train scene, where they’re insulting Snape specifically (and Sirius implies Snape isn’t good enough for Slytherin or Gryffindor during this scene). Sirius tells Harry and his friends about Snape’s friend group, but makes it clear that this is specifically related to them joining the Death Eaters rather than Sirius going “Snape hung out with Slytherins and that’s why I hate him and thinks he sucks;” it’s very much related to Voldemort and informing Harry that yes, his teacher did in fact hang out with kids who went on to join the man who murdered his parents which is rather relevant knowledge (and the House affiliation explains how Snape knew them in the first place, they’re in the same House at school) (and Sirius even says that he’s not sure if Snape joined Voldemort rather than outright condemning him). But, unless my memory has completely failed me and so has the search function, Sirius didn’t go around blindly hating or insulting Slytherins
You know what? Yeah, I'll go ahead and publish this chaos, because you're RIGHT.

Something I'm really mad about the Harry Potter books is that people seem to think that Snape's love for Lily was something beautiful when it was something based on excluding everything he didn't want to see about her
Case in point, the fact that she was a muggleborn: Snape loved Lily despite her being a muggleborn and did it whilst trying to hurt people like her, people Lily could see herself in (btw how come this isn't considered creepy af?), bc to him "she was different", she was an exception.
Yeah, but to Lily (and everyone else really) she wasn't. She was a muggleborn just as the other muggleborns in the wizarding world and Severus was advocating to people like her to be persecuted, tortured and killed (again, how come isn't that creepy????). And let's not forget bigotry like that (fascist-like) is always accompanied by a huge amount of misogyny, just saying.
While James loved Lily not BECAUSE she was a muggleborn as much as because she was LILY, but he still saw her birth as something relevant (bc it was at the time) in the sense that he'd fight for her and every other person like her for the sole reason that that was the right thing to do.
I stan the right character and nothing you say can convince me otherwise.
