Yes, this is Snape dressed up as Ash Ketchum from Pokemon. XD
I drew it after having a thought about Snape being Ash for Halloween. And I spent several hours editing it. Although, I haven't decided which Pokemon he has in his hand...

Fake Snape #3
FormerMiM Snape
If you never participated in the original MiM roleplay on Facebook, then you will most likely not understand this (unless, of course, you've decided to participate because of some of my past posts.) But I consider this portrayal of Snape to be very important.
First off, here's the link to his page on Facebook, on which you can join the Roleplay: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Headmaster-Severus-Snape-Potions-Genius-Formerly-MiM/189196084466820
However, before you start interacting with him, there are several things you should know, which are the things I would generally talk about in a Fake Snape post.
This version of Snape is a post-war Snape that has died, but came back and returned to his normal life. The explanation for how this happened is in this fanfic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7158995/1/After_the_Battle
Therefore, this technically takes place in the Canon Universe, though Snape is slightly OOC. He's married to Aurora Sinistra (the Astronomy teacher), and has plenty of Fangirls that fawn over him and bring him food and glomp him, and he actually likes it. I like that this Snape is nice to those who are nice to him, because otherwise the RP would be pretty boring.
He also often interacts with Declan (Sinistra's vampire bodyguard--sort of), his mother, Ludo Bagman, Voldemort, Tonks, and Jareth the Goblin King (Yes, from the Labyrinth). He and Scabior are mortal enemies, but I honestly forget where the animosity came from in the first place.
I didn't post a picture this time, because the picture will be on the page once you click the link. The only other things you should know before you join the RP (if you were even planning to) is that it'll be extremely annoying to everyone if you type like you're texting and don't use punctuation. If you don't know proper grammar, please just don't participate.

Fanfiction Friday #38
Earlier today, I realized that I had never posted a Snape/Lupin fic before. I've also never read one before, but I have been meaning to... The thing is, it was difficult to find a good one. The first couple I tried that weren't WIPs had Snape and Lupin and other people way too out of character, and I just couldn't read them.
So then I tried finding a fic that wasn't on FF.net, and I found a really smuttily (if that's even a word) awesome one-shot called Dinner Entanglement. If you're not at least 13, or if you can't handle sex, you probably won't want to read it. You also wouldn't want to read it if you don't like bondage or S&M sex.
You hold the locket in your hand; the S gleams eerily in the dim light, and, while Ron takes his grip of the Sword of Gryffindor, you say in Parsletongue, "Open."
It opens, and this link comes out: http://noiresensus.com/bookshelf/harrypotter/dinnerentanglement.html

Snape Quote of the Week #37
Harry made up his mind in a split second. Before Snape could take even one step towards him, he had raised his wand.
"Expelliarmus!" he yelled--except that his wasn't the only voice that shouted. There was a blast that made the door rattle on its hinges; Snape was lifted off his feet and slammed into the wall, then slid down it to the floor, a trickle of blood oozing from under his hair. He had been knocked out.
~Prisoner of Azkaban, Ch. 19 "The Servant of Lord Voldemort"
You just have to feel really sorry for Snape here... I know he was being unreasonable, but he had just found the man that had supposedly been the reason for Lily's death. Anyone in his place would have gone just as mad.
I posted the part before this quote at least 21 weeks ago, so I guess this is a continuation. This deserves its own post, because this always makes me really mad at Harry and really sorry for Snape whenever I read it.

Snape Video of the Week #37
Severus Snape - Love and Loss
This is probably the saddest effing video I have ever seen. This was made for Halloween, as this was the day that Snape lost everything he loved. This song is perfect for him, and the timing of all the clips is perfect. I cried.

Weekly Snape-ly Event #37
I couldn't find any real news about Snape or Alan Rickman, but that doesn't matter, because it's already set up for me--it's Halloween.
On this day, thirty years ago, Voldemort went to James and Lily Potter's house in Godric's Hollow with the intention to kill their son and thus eliminate the possibility of him being defeated. But, only a few weeks before, Severus Snape had begged Voldemort to spare Lily, and so the Dark Lord gave the woman a choice to step aside. She refused to, and willingly sacrificed herself for her son. The shield of love protected Harry and rebounded upon Lord Voldemort, rendering him almost nothing, less than the meanest ghost.
That night, Severus Snape lost the love of his life. He lost the will to live. But if it had not been for him, Lily would not have been given a second thought by Voldemort, and her sacrifice would not have been a willing one. And Harry would not have lived. There never would have been a Boy Who Lived, and Voldemort would have reigned forever.
The same night, ten years later, Severus did his best to find out what Quirrell was doing, and saw that he was trying to get the Sorcerer's Stone. He nearly had his leg ripped off in the process, and Harry was nearly killed by the troll that Quirrell had set lose.
The next year, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, thus beginning the series of stressful days of trying to protect the students of Hogwarts and yet, not being able to do a thing.
And the next year, the man that Snape loathed more than anything except James Potter--Sirius Black, broke into the castle and supposedly made an attempt on Potter's life, slashing up the Fat Lady's poster.
And the next, Harry's name came out of the Goblet of Fire. Severus knew at once that Potter's life was in danger, and that there was a traitor in their midst who had put the boy's name in. Once again, there was nothing he could do, though he knew that Voldemort must have something to do with it, for his Dark Mark had been twinging when it had not burned in years...
And all the rest were insignificant, but they were anniversaries of Lily's death all the same. If Severus were alive now, he'd be in an especially bitter and bad mood. He'd be mourning.

Snape Picture of the Week #37
I saw this on Tumblr and immediately started crying. This is just too damn sad, and I'm way too tired... Even though we can't see Snape's face in the last panel, his sadness is so beautifully conveyed by the rain, and his arm leaning on the window. It's so perfectly sad. If only he had told her...
Excuse me, I have to go bawl my eyes out again.
Fake Snape #2
Puppet Snape
I was going to use just a normal picture of Snape from Potter Puppet Pals, but I thought this one was better. Although, Ron should be saying "Right-o!"
Now, if you like Harry Potter, I can't even fathom how you could not have heard of Potter Puppet Pals, so I'm not going to explain it. Anyway, Puppet Snape is obviously much different than the real Snape, besides the fact that he's made of felt, and I will discuss this.
You know, the Snape puppet reminds me so much of Squidward. It's both because of the voice and the nose. And when you think about it, the 'bitterness' part of Snape is very much like Squidward, and it's also hilarious. The unibrow is more Squilliam, though. Lol.
Because of Puppet Snape, we now associate Snape with 'Bothering.' Personally, I'm torn between finding it hilarious and very sad. Although Ron and Harry bullying Snape is extremely off-canon, I know they'd love to do it in the books. I always get really sad when I think of Harry and Ron repeatedly pushing Snape into a wall until he loses consciousness, but I also like Bothering my friends. What can I say, it's fun.
Puppet Snape has also given us some of the best quotes ever:
"Do mine ears detect foul-mouthedness?"
"What is that mysterious ticking noise?"
"What is this RUMPUS?"
"Last night I fell asleep in the bathtub, and dreamt that I was riding a thestral through a storm, and each thunderclap resolved into their voices--'Bother, bother.' And then the scene changed, and I was at the Yule Ball with Lily Evans. I asked her to dance. She asked me to die."
----
And lastly, because of Puppet Snape, we have the song Like Snape, which is an AMAZING song.
Fanfiction Friday #37
Since I'm already nearly two days late with this, I admit I rushed in finding a fic, so it's not the best. And I'm tired, so I want to get this post finished quickly. So here's the facts, and not so much more:
It's a Snily one-shot, and is called I am Yours, Always. It's rated M for smut, and is a Romance/Angst. I usually don't like angst, but when paired with Romance, I actually think it's rather good.
Also, in my opinion, the plot doesn't entirely make sense, but it's a good fic if you're just looking for some smut in the shape of Snape/Lily.
I wish the Goblin King would bring me to the one-shot right now... Oh wait, wrong movie. Well, here's the link anyway: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7288048/1/I_am_Yours_Always

Snape Quote of the Week #36
"...cannot afford mistakes, Draco, because if you are expelled--"
"I didn't have anything to do with it, all right?"
I hope you are telling the truth, because it was both clumsy and foolish. Already you suspected of having a hand in it."
"Who suspects me?" said Malfoy angrily. "For the last time, I didn't do it, okay? That Bell girl must have an enemy that no one knows about--don't look at me like that! I know what you're doing, I'm not stupid, but it won't work--I can stop you!"
There was a pause and then Snape said quietly, "Ah... Aunt Bellatrix has been teaching you Occlumency, I see. What thoughts are you trying to conceal from your master, Draco?"
"I'm not trying to conceal anything form him, I just don't want you butting in!"
Harry pressed his ear still more closely against the keyhole.... What had happened to make Malfoy speak to Snape like this--Snape, toward whom he had always shown respect, even liking?
"So that is why you have been avoiding me this term? You have feared my interference? You realize that, had anybody else failed to come to my office when I had told them repeatedly to be there, Draco--"
"So put me in detention! Report me to Dumbledore!"
~Half-Blood Prince, Ch. 15 "The Unbreakable Vow"
That might not be the best place to stop, but I'm tired and don't feel like staying up much longer. Anyway, I think that, after the Spinner's End chapter, this is the hugest scene that really makes you decide your opinion on Snape's loyalty the first time reading the series. It either gave you even more of a concrete reason not to trust him, or made it even more obvious that he was loyal to Dumbledore.
And as for Draco: personally, I don't think Snape ever really liked him. I think Snape would have resented any contact with the Malfoys, since Lucius is the one that presumably suggested him to the Dark Lord, and was also still loyal to Voldemort even after his supposed death. Plus, Draco's a mini James Potter, minus the fact that Harry's the one who looks like James. So I think Snape merely acted as though he liked Draco, because otherwise, it would have been suspicious.

Snape Video of the Week #36
Potions Yesterday - Ministry of Magic
You know how, a while ago, I said that I had done all the Ministry of Magic songs? Well, I realized that I was wrong. Well, this song isn't technically about Snape, and it was actually originally by Draco and the Malfoys, but whatever.
In my opinion, MoM's version of the song is way better. Don't get me wrong, I love DatM and give them major props for writing the song, but their voices just don't work with it. MoM's screamo-ishness works really well, though. And I also love the heavy drum beats... I can't help but playing air-drums whenever I listen to this. It's just so badass.

Weekly Snape-ly Event #36
I suppose this isn't really news, but it is awesome, and it's the best I could do.
Anyway, the upcoming iPhone 4s has been advertising an app called Siri, which will be a voice assistant. Sort of like the voices on GPSes. IBT (International Business Times) released an article of the top 5 voices we'd like to have on Siri, and, you guessed it, Snape is on the list. Here's the link for the article: http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/236768/20111025/apple-siri-recognition-iphone-4s-darth-vader-gps-mary-poppins-severus-snape-jarvis.htm
Honestly, I'm surprised he's only number three. But the explanation made me laugh. Hard.

Fake Snape #1
As you may have noticed, I've gotten through another seven weeks, and that means that I start something new for Saturdays. Well, I decided that I'm going to do 'fake Snapes,' in which I talk about versions of Snape besides the book and movie Snape. These Snapes could be from parodies, cosplays, etc.
This week, I'm doing AVPM/S Snape.
It's sort of the obvious choice, but whatever. For those of you that have been living under a rock, I'm referring to A Very Potter Musical (and Sequel), and if you haven't seen it, then none of this will make sense to you. AVPM is probably one of the biggest parts of the HP fandom, so you MUST watch it. Here's Act 1, Part 1 in case you haven't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmwM_AKeMCk
Anyway, down to business.
In AVPM, Snape is portrayed by Joe Moses, who, in my opinion, is not very attractive without the Snape costume on. His voice is normally high-pitched, but he has an excellent (and hilarious) Snape impression. His accent when he's being Snape is also a bit exaggerated, but it's still awesome.
Joe Moses also has a thing called The Potion's Master's Corner, which he does on his Youtube channel. He's interviewed the other Starkids, and has done it all in his Snape costume, and hilariously.
This is the best picture I could find of him, and this all from episodes of TPMS:

The AVPM version of Snape is also ridiculously out of character sometimes, but it is a parody. Because of him, we now associate several quotes with Snape that we wouldn't otherwise:
"What the DEVIL is going on HERRRRRREEEEEEEE?"
"Sit down, you inarticulate bumble."
"I'll be in the drawing room... painting the stupid looks on your faces."
-----------
I could go on, but I don't feel like it. Anyway, even though it's a musical, Snape hardly gets any time to sing. It's disappointing, really. He obviously participates in the group songs like the end reprise of Going Back To Hogwarts and Days of Summer in AVPS, but the only song he really gets is Guys Like Potter. And it's a rather sad song, as funny as they try to make it.
What's also sad is that AVPS did the Snape's Worst Memory scene more accurately than the film adaptation of OotP did. -_-
Well, I have nothing else to say, except that I'm going to bed.

Fanfiction Friday #36
So... who here likes Snarry? :D Well, if you don't, then you might not want to read this fic, because it's Snarry.
It's called At the End of All Things, and I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard of it. I started reading it because I follow FYeahSnarry on Tumblr (the link to which is here), and they posted an excerpt from it. Normally, I only read Snarry for the smut, which this fic does have, but it's the first one I've read with actual romance, and I like it.
It's also rather sad. In it, Harry had cancer, and... well, I'm not going to give much away, but you can guess the rest. It's AU, Snape's slightly OOC, and there's some grammar mistakes, but it's an overall wonderful fic. Even if you don't like Snarry, you might want to read it so you get into it.
Beware, it's rated M, so there is sexual explicit content in it. But that shouldn't be a problem with anyone. ;D And it's also completed, so you won't have to wait for updates.
Fawkes swoops in and drops the Sorting Hat... And out of it, you pull out this link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2013350/1/At_the_end_of_all_things

Snape Quote of the Week #35
"Perhaps you already know it? You are a clever man, after all, Severus. You have been a good and faithful servant, and I regret what must happen."
"My Lord--"
"The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly, Severus, because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. While you live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot be truly mine."
"My Lord!" Snape protested, raising his wand.
"It cannot be any other way," said Voldemort. "I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last."
And Voldemort swiped the air with the Elder Wand. It did nothing to Snape, who for a spit second seemed to think he had been reprieved: But then Voldemort's intention became clear. The snake's cage was rolling through the air, and before Snape could do anything more than yell, it had encased him, head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue.
"Kill."
~Deathly Hallows, Ch. 32 "The Elder Wand"
The beginning of this quote is always where I start crying whenever I read DH. It sets up so much suspense and just gives me a horrible, heavy feeling... And I can't possibly imagine how Snape's feeling at the moment. He knows he's about to be killed without having been able to tell Potter everything, and he realizes that he's failed Lily. At that moment, he must have thought that his whole life had been a waste...
Okay, I can't bring myself to say anything else about it. It's just too effing sad.

I can't believe I JUST found out about this yesterday. This is just effing awesome. Especially because the footage fits together so damn perfectly.
Weekly Snape-ly Event #35
I actually have Snape news this week! Purely Snape. Well, and Harry Potter in general, but...whatever.
Anyway, I very recently participated in a contest held by the person that runs the page of Snape in FormerMiM (an RPG on Facebook, in case you didn't know). We had to create something, which could have been through any art medium, that represented what Harry Potter means to us. It was a pretty general topic.
All the submissions can be seen on this blog: http://www.fancifulmight.blogspot.com/ And I suggest you check them out. I won't tell you which one's mine, but I didn't win.
The winner was supposed to get a plushie/doll of the HP character of their choice. Obviously I would have chosen Snape, but I didn't win. ...I already have plenty of Snape things, though.

Snape Picture of the Week #35
I just love this picture so much... In case you don't know what it's supposed to be, it's all the Slytherins being really impressed with Snape when he's a first year and cursed the Marauder's very badly. Well, it seems like he only cursed Peter, but whatever. Though this event was never confirmed to have happened (as far as I know), it's pretty much assumed. And this was probably the first time that Snape ever felt like he belonged, like he fitted in. And as horribly as that turned out for him in the long run, I can't help but be glad that he didn't feel so alone (besides Lily) anymore.
Snape Poem #7
HOLY CRAP, IT'S THE LAST SNAPE POEM. Well... Good. Finding poems that relate to Snape was hard. I guess that's why I'm not a Hufflepuff. Anyway...
The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke
I think this fits the Death Eater side of Snape very well--partly because it's called 'The Panther,' and I like to think of him as a panther. But otherwise, it's almost exactly like his inner state, especially after a Death Eater meeting. He's still officially a Death Eater, and he reports to Dumbledore, but he's tired of all the secrecy and harm.
The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke
His gaze, going past those bars, has got so misted
with tiredness, it can take in nothing more.
He feels as though a thousand bars existed,
and no more world beyond them than before.
Those supply powerful paddings, turning there
in tiniest of circles, well might be
the dance of forces round a centre where
some mighty will stands paralyticly.
Just now and then the pupils' noiseless shutter
is lifted. - Then an image will indart,
down through the limbs' intensive stillness flutter,
and end its being in the heart.
