Snape Picture of the Week #14


This picture never fails to crack me up. AND this just goes to show that you can related Harry Potter to anything. Suck on that, Twitards.

The best part about it is imagining it in Snape's voice... sexy, and hilarious. And you know, I can actually imagine this happening. Lol.

On an unrelated note, I have completed Book 1 of my fanfiction. If you don't already read it, it's basically the canon timeline with Snape's point of view, plus an OC. I explained it all in an earlier post(my first, actually). The point being, I have successfully rewritten the Sorcerer's Stone in Snape's point of view. I think this calls for celebration... *sets off fireworks* I am so proud of myself, guys. Anyway, you should go read it if you haven't already!

Snape Site of the Week #7

To be honest, I couldn't find a decent Snape Site this week. There's a surprising lack of them, whe you take away all the Tumblrs. So I decided just a Harry Potter site would be fine.

I'm part of this site called Hex, which is basically a huge role-playing game for HP nerds. You take a test when you start out, so you can be Sorted into your House. It's not really a test, but you just describe yourself in as much detail as possible, sumbit it, and you're Sorted by moderator. Then, you can get your wand at Ollivanders, and your Blood Status is chosen at random.

You can buy things in Hogsmeade(but only on weekends), Diagon Alley, or Knockturn Alley. You can buy a cat, owl, or tarantula as a pet(I forgot to feed my tarantula and he died).

The other 'places' are just forums, but there's the Entrance Hall, the Great Hall, The Courtyard, your Dormitories, your Common Room, The Student Hangout, RP Central, and the Quidditch Feild. Then, there's forums for Magical Theories and DH Part 1 Discussions.

Also, you choose which Hogwarts subjects to take, and you have homework. You don't have to do it, but if you do, it earns you House Points.

It's a very fun website, and if you don't already, I suggest you make an account.

Fanfiction Friday #14

Okay, so in MiM world, there's a lot of conflict between Snape and Tonks. Or at least, a lot of heated arguments. Most of them are Tonks calling Snape a slimy git, and him throwing her an awesome comeback, and various people taking sides. (They usually take Snape's side.) It often comes down to the common people or Snape himself teasing Tonks that she has a massive crush on Snape and is just hiding it. That gave me the idea to look for Snape/Tonks fanfic, as I was sure I'd find a decent amount. I mean, people do often pair together characters that dislike each other...

So I found one called Behind Locked Doors, which is a lot like that one Snape/Hermione fic I did a post about a while ago, which involved Snape and Hermione being locked in a closet together. Well, this on is about Snape and Tonks being locked in a closet together. It's sort of strange, because this one also involves them being at Grimmauld Place, and it's not even written by the same Author.

It's one chapter, like the other, but it's a long chapter. Plus, it has much better grammar and spelling than the other one, which is always good. And the Author did a splendid job at keeping them in character... Did I really just say 'splendid'? Wow.

As always, there's some kissing involved(why else would I read it?), and it gets pretty sexy. But it's only rated T.

Drink the tea until only the dregs remain in the bottom of your cup... Oh, my dear... I fear you have-- not the Grim, but a link to this fanfiction! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5221285/1/Behind_Locked_Doors

Snape Quote of the Week #13

  "You might be laboring under the delusion that the entire wizarding world is impressed with you," Snape went on, so quietly that no one else could hear him (Harry continued to pound his scarab beetles, even though he had already reduced them to a very fine powder), "but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the papers. To me, Potter, you are nothing but a nasty little boy who considers rules to be beneath him."
  Harry tipped the powdered beetles into his cauldron and started cutting up his ginger roots. His hands were shaking slightly out of anger, but he kept his eyes down, as though he couldn't hear what Snape was saying to him.
  "So I give you a fair warning, Potter," Snape continued in a softer and more dangerous voice, "pint-sized celebrity or not -- if I catch you breaking into my office one more time --"
  "I haven't been anywhere near your office!" said Harry angrily, forgetting his feigned deafness.
  "Don't lie to me," Snape hissed, his fathomless black eyes boring into Harry's. "Boomslang skin. Gillyweed. Both come from my private stores, and I know who stole them."

This is from the Goblet of Fire during a potions class after the Second Task. I love this quote because Snape is at his worst -- I mean best.

He's so scary at this part... I mean, he's practically radiating hatred. And Snape is one of those people that makes menacing sexy. This is why I always imagine Alan Rickman as Snape when I'm reading. When you imagine it in his voice, everything is just so amazing.

I can just imagine Snape bending over my table in potions class to tell me something, and muttering it so quietly that he has to get an inch from my face so I can hear him... I wouldn't even care if he was punishing me. I would just lean forward a little... Or pretend I was knocked forward on accident, just so I could kiss him.

Aside from his sexiness in this scene, I can really tell how angry he is. I mean, Harry just reminds him so much of James, and he has to freaking protect him. That just sucks.

And the last part of it was in the film adaption... sort of. Snape was in his storeroom, and Harry walked by, and Snape was all, "Not something found in your everyday garden... Ah, what is this?" And then when he's accusing Harry of stealing, he says, "Boomslang skin... Lacewing flies." But that's wrong, because Lacewing Flies aren't even in his private stores- you can find it in the student cupboard.

But he still says "Don't lie to me." n the movie, which makes me shudder everytime I hear it.

Snape Insults YOU #13

Snape Insults Charlie Sheen

As I have told you many times before, Mister Sheen, cocaine is not a potions ingredient. Nor is it powdered horn of a 'Crumple-horned Snorcack', because those do not exist. Rather, it is a Class C Non-Tradeable substance... If I find you with this again, I will report you to the Ministry. In the meantime, fifty points will be taken from Gryffindor, and you will scrub the bedpans in the Hospital Wing. That should teach you that you are not, in fact, 'winning.'

Snape Video of the Week #13

Bravest Man I Ever Knew- Ministry of Magic

Another Ministry of Magic song about Snape! This is definitely my Number 1 favorite song of ALL TIME. If you haven't heard it, crawl out from the rock you've been hiding under.

I can't get enough of this song... It utilizes the best quotes ever in musical form. The first few times I listened to it, I cried. Hard. But even though it's super sad, I got used to it eventually. Although, at random times, I cry while listening to it. It's super up-beat, too, which makes it super awesome.

I respect that everyone has their own opinion and while I think it would be boring if everyone had the same favorite character, I don't understand how anyone can read the entire series and not love Snape. Those people need to listen to this song a shitload of times, and then they'll love him.

Weekly Snape-ly Event #13

If you follow MiM, which I'm pretty sure most of you do, then you'll already know this. But according to the MiM timeline, it was Severus Snape's birthday a couple days ago.

The Daily Prophet even dedicated an article to it, which you can read here.

More people wished Professor Snape than anyone other MiM person... that says something. And a lot of people gave him presents, too... I gave him a pewter mug engarved with the Slytherin Crest and a serpent handle. Although, he seemed to enjoy my condolensces that his birthday was another year closer to death more. He said the thought was comforting.

Of course, he got a lot of wine, which is always a favorite... and the Dark Lord gave him a vase of lilies. I don't know if that was tactless or sensitive of him... I mean, wouldn't Snape like some lilies to smell whenever he liked? Or would he be too sodden with grief to look at them without crying?

And as usual, Bellatrix and Tonks and pretty much all the rebellion members only insulted him about his birthday. >_<
