Helloo! It's Nushie (short for Anusha but lol you can call me whatever), your fellow Snape hater! In my sixteen years of existence, never have I ever despised a fictional character with so much passion.
(Seriously, I have a literal playlist about how much I hate Snape. Hating a Snape is a 2019 mood, get with the times, people)
Welcome to the destructured mess that is this introduction.
Here are some things I love:
• Ravenclaw. Because I am a Ravenclaw.
• The Ravenclaw Common Room sounds like an absolute dream. LIKE THE FUCKING DOMED CEILING WITH STARS? BLUE? A DOORKNOB THAT SPITS RIDDLES? A COOL STATUE? BOOKS? MOUNTAIN VIEWS?
• Lists that list things in no specific order
• Brooklyn Nine Nine and The Good Place are the definition of happiness but in TV-show-form (Do yourself a favor and watch them, if you haven't already)
• Harry Potter
• The Marauders
• Janelle Monáe
• Cigarettes After Sex (band)
• Hating Snape
• Proving how much of a shitty sicko Snape is (I was going with abusive asshole but an alliteration sounds cooler)
After reading the series for the first time, I was initially a Snape apologist. Yes, I was one of those people who used "AlWayS" in their social media bio. Yes, I thought Snape was only a sad boi and a "hero" in the end.
Seriously, calling him a hero doesn't make sense at all. He's an anti-hero at best. He's more of an oreo than a hero if we're being real (Sorry, oreos).
But it all changed after I read a series of eye-opening Snape-hate posts, presumably ghost-written by James Potter.
I think it's great that people are realizing how much of an abusive little bitch Snape was. Because, I think, how you see fictional characters reflects how you see people in real life to an extent. Romanticizing abuse, excusing abusive behavior with someone's past or who they are "deep down" is something people do in real life too. I've definitely done it during my Snape apologist and bad boy stories phase.
So in conclusion: Always? More like never, bitch.

My main account's nushiewrites btw, couldn't figure out a way to naturally plug it into the intro
