Post reblogged from There Is No Average

whenever you start to think or say something negative about yourself just imagine one of your favorite characters busting into the room out of nowhere to grip your shoulders and look you directly in the eyes while saying “that’s not true” and whenever you try to argue they just list off something positive about you and kiss your forehead or cheek then in your momentary daze and confusion they literally pick you up and carry you off to get ice cream

Tumbling over the past year and a half has made me see the problems of gender roles that exist in media, but sometimes it gets to the point where I over analyze every single piece of television or film that I come across. (However this in no way means that I think feminist media criticism is wrong, or should be avoided!) Mostly I just over think everything.

This is awesome!

I taught a year five class yesterday and they had to do a speech on any topic they wanted - one of the boys chose Martin Freeman and one if the girls chose cheese and I just know they’ll be tumblr famous in like 3 years

Ugh. Yes.

I find the Snape/Lily narrative to be really horrific, honestly. The fact that we are asked to feel oh so bad for poor little Snape makes me a little bit queasy.

Because, yes, I do sympathize with Snape for having a rough childhood.

But he was a horrible friend to Lily. He ignored her feelings. He screamed racial slurs at her. He favored the idealized version of her he had built up in his mind over the REAL her (I think it is significant that James’ patronus is a STAG, showing compatibility with Lily; while Snape is a DOE, showing a mimicry of Lily). That idealization and inability to reconcile how his own actions contributed to the failure of their friendship literally KILLED Lily.

I understand that we can show some sympathy for him. Watching someone self destruct their own relationships because of abuse and peer pressure and the tribulations of childhood? That’s tragic.

But then he grows up to emotionally abuse Lily’s son for having a physical resemblance to her husband.

And we’re supposed to feel sorry for him? We’re supposed to think it’s lovely and sweet that Harry names his child after the teacher who emotionally abused him for years? Who emotionally abused OTHER children for years as well?

The fans who sit around and cry about how Lily SHOULD have picked Snape, how Snape DESERVED her? How James was a horrible douche and Lily was a bitch for choosing him? Ugh. No. nno no no no on oonononononononoooooo.

also snape actually ruined a mans career fully knowing he probably couldn’t get another one.

Oh the shit that went down with Remus makes me really want to break his teeth.

Remus had been HOMELESS. Remus had spent much of his adult life implied to be on the streets, unable to find work, and completely unable to make new friendships or relationships after Lily and James died, Peter vanished, and Sirius went to jail (ALL of which is DIRECTLY Snape’s god damn fault.)

And then just as Remus picks himself back up again? Becomes a positive force and father figure to Harry? Snape deliberately and purposely gets him FIRED so that he will be unemployed and potentially homeless AGAIN.

How the fuck am I supposed to show any sympathy for an adult who completely lacks the ability to show sympathy, or even human decency, to others?

This is how I feel about book!Snape. I liked his character for its dimension and background - he felt real and he felt interesting. But fuck if he wasn’t an asshole. Not evil. But, an asshole through and through.

Movie!Snape I can’t talk about because I never watched the movies after the third one where all the wizards are walking around in street clothes and Hermione has perfect hair and all of Ron’s lines. But Alan Rickman was already on course to make Snape much more sympathetic with his sheer acting skills, so I imagine it only got more and more as the movies went on. I feel like that’s where a lot of the woobifying of Snape came from.
