“If you don’t support Snape and his problems, you hate the mentally ill.”

NEWS FUCKING FLASH

JUST BECAUSE HE HAD A SHITTY CHILDHOOD, JUST BECAUSE HE’S MENTALLY ILL DOES NOT FUCKING EXCUSE HIS ACTIONS.

I am mentally ill, and I ENCOURAGE people to call me out when I pull bullshit. I was bullied, I was abused as a child, and I have NEVER FUCKING called a friend a FUCKING SLUR.

I have never OBSESSED over a person when they didn’t want me around, and I would never TORTURE a child just because of my hurt fee-fees. Everyone wants to excuse him, and talk about how Snape just needed a little forgiveness.

No. What he did, despite mental illness, despite childhood trauma, was not okay. Stop fucking insisting that he is the beacon of mentally ill characters in that book.

You know who suffers from PTSD? You know who lived every day of his life, struggling because of his illness? 

Remus Lupin.

Lupin wasn’t a good person despite his illness. He was a good person WITH his illness. Maybe he made some bad decisions, but ultimately, he was a good person. A good person with PTSD, a good person with an illness. He never used it as an excuse, and he never expected anyone to just accept everything he did because of it.

What mental illness does Snape have?

I’ve seen a lot of his fans argue that he has depression and/or PTSD. Don’t think JKR’s said anything about it one way or the other, though.

Remus keeping his job

jilylamespotter:

• ugh like just imagine if Remus was able to keep his job as the Defense teacher
  
• him staying and teaching Harry old marauder tricks
• such as how to avoid patrols
• at first Remus is all “Harry, be a good student, you have a lot of potential, do your work”
• but with a little bit of coaxing from Harry he soon is teaching him how Filch can’t see as well with his right eye and what charms go undetected from him to slip past
• and how Mrs. Norris is a sucker for sugar quills
• and then Sirius visiting the pair, staying with Remus in his teacher dormitories so he can get to know his godson
• completely under the radar though, Dumbledore’s cool with it though 
• He’s introduced as Remus’s dogs, Snuffles of course and he gets plenty of attention from students in between classes, 
• “OH MERLIN AND AGRIPPA IF THAT ISN’T THE CUTEST DOG I’VE EVER SEEN” Lavender screamed as she runs to hug the dog and Parvati keeps scratching his ears, Remus just chuckles
  
• Remus always seems to chuckle when people are very friendly with his dog and the students aren’t quite sure why 
• Harry and Ron always make fun of him because of it
• Sirius being used in muggle studies during the typical pets and pet care chapter and showing off all his tricks
• Remus happy because this is James’ and merlin he had always wanted to watch him grow up
• They all walk down to Hagrid’s together for rock cakes and tea sometimes
• Remus being the best defense teacher anyone’s ever seen
• the class is interesting and interactive and it’s easily everyone’s favorite class, people who don’t even need the class take it always
• Dumbledore actually has to move some things around because every student signs up their 7th year even when they don’t have to
• but its okay because wow look at Remus’s smile
• he never used to smile this much 
• Sirius also has a chance to get out of the house, out of grimmauld place away from his screaming mother’s portrait
• everyone is happy

death: let’s see, who’s next–oh NOOO…. *groans but goes to mcgonagall*
Death: professor, I’m afraid……I’m here to tell you…..
Mcgonagall: *glares over spectacles at death*
Death: that–oh never mind! Happy 189th birthday Minerva. Goodbye

one of the most heartbreaking scenes in harry potter was when harry found lily’s letter in sirius’s room and he is almost in tears over the fact that they made their g’s the same way

Rough day at the office today, Satan?

Live your life so Professor McGonagall would be both proud and exasperated by you

One of my favorite scenes in all the books is the one where literally all the teachers ban together to just fucking slay Lockhart like “oh you were just telling me about the chamber of secrets” and “oh didn’t you say you wanted to take a crack at it”, it’s so great

No but you don’t understand the entire Hogwarts staff is either working together trying to reveal Lockhart as a fraud or freaking kill him and either way it’s great
