Snape Picture of the Week #15

I just found this picture yesterday, and I honestly laughed my ass off. I can totally see Lily at the beginning of her marriage with James, and being all "Oh God, James is such a jerk..." and having an affair with Snape. You know, that should have been what actually happened.

There's a lot of fics about Harry being Snape's son, and they actually make sense. I mean, how the hell did Lily fall in love with James? I have a theory that he used Love potions or Confundus charm or something... but Lily definitely loved Harry whether he was James's or not. Mothers almost always love their children. Still, she probably kept an old picture of her and Sev under her pillow or something.

Snape Products You Should Totally Buy #1

I went through 7 weeks of Snape Sites, so now it's time for another thing to do on Saturdays. I chose to show you guys awesome Snape products. Keep in mind that I am not sponsored by these companies at all, so don't be all "You're selling out omg" because I'm not.

Now, this first one isn't really Snape, but it's Alan Rickman. I found a collection of Alan Rickman aprons, which you can buy here. Yeah, you heard me right. Aprons. They're all SO FREAKING AWESOME. I don't even cook, and I want one. My two favorites are definitely these:

If I had these aprons, I'd definitely cook more. You know, it would be awesome if Alan Rickman owned one of these.

If you have the money, I see no reason why you wouldn't buy these.

Fanfiction Friday #15

Before I get started here, I'd like to announce that this is my 100th post. *pulls cracker* Yay! I've literally been doing a post on this blog every single day for the past 100 days. That's an amazing feat, considering that I get virtually no feedback. Well, that just goes to show how dedicated I am. Or, it could just mean I'm overly obsessed with Snape... I'll go with both. Now, back to fanfiction.

One of my friends writes a Snape/OC story, and it's called In Fields of Purple Amaranth. It's also relatively famous, as it has over 600 reviews. The OC is a girl named Angela Zander, and it takes place one year before Harry comes to Hogwarts. (It's also assumably AU.) Even though there's really no inclination to Lily ever existing, I really like it. It's really well-written, with the style of an actual author (you know, for real books). And Angela is definitely NOT a Mary Sue. In fact, all of the scenes are very believable.

Although, this makes me really angry, because I literally rewrote the Sorcerer's Stone from Snape's point of view, and it only has 16 reviews. I'm sorry, but you'd think I'd get a little more recognition for doing something like that. Ugh... Whatever.

In (mostly) unrelated news, today, I finally won in Around the World. It was in my History class, and I actually made it all the way back to my desk for the first time in my life. I thought I'd share this because I totally shouted "50 points to Slytherin!" when I won.

Anyway, I should also tell you that the fic is rated M for sexual reasons. *giggles*

Wait- there's a fifth Triwizard Champion! *takes slip of paper* Oh, it's just a link to a fanfiction. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6242011/1/In_Fields_of_Purple_Amaranth

Snape Quote of the Week #14

 "Do you recognize our guest, Severus?" asked Voldemort.
 Snape raised his eyes to the upside-down face. All of the Death Eaters were looking up at the captive now, as though they had been given permission to show curiosity. As she revolved to face the firelight, the woman said in a cracked and terrified voice, "Severus! Help me!"
 "Ah, yes," said Snape as the prisoner turned slowly away again.
 And you, Draco?" asked Voldemort, stroking the snake's snout with his wand-free hand. Draco shook his head jerkily. Now that the woman had woken, he seemed unable to look at her anymore.
 "But you would not have taken her classes," said Voldemort. "For those of you who do not know, we are joined here tonight by Charity Burbage who, until recently, taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
 There were small noises of comprehension around the table. A broad, hunched woman with pointed teeth cackled.
 "Yes... Professor Burbage taught the children of witches and wizards all about Muggles... how they are not so different from us..."
 One of the Death Eater spat on the floor. Charity Burbage revolved to face Snape again.
 "Severus... please... please..."

This is from the first chapter ("The Dark Lord Ascending") of Deathly Hallows, when Snape is reporting information to Voldemort at a Death Eater meeting at the Malfoy Manor.

I felt really sorry for Snape during this chapter. He has to keep up the Death Eater facade and everything, and then he sees one of his old colleagues being tortured. I can't even imagine how much he must want to help her, but he can't. He just has to sit there, looking impassive, while an innocent person dies. And there Voldemort is, saying it's gross that some people think Muggles are like them, while Snape was (and still is) in love with a Muggle-born.

They did a really good job with this scene in DH Part 1, especially the look on Snape's face. I mean, it's totally impassive, like it's supposed to be, but you can see something stirring in Snape's eyes, and those of us who have read the books knows what that means. Alan Rickman was simply wonderful(and sexy) in that scene.

Snape Insults YOU #14

Snape Insults Bella Swan

Dear Merlin, even I am not as depressed as you are, Miss Swan. Oh, you think your life is just so horrible, do you? I see, you hate that your father is too protective. Yes, that is just terrible compared to having a father that hates everything you and your mother are. And you seem to have plenty of friends, Miss Swan. All of whom met you, and despite your pathetic demeanor, took a instant liking to you. Yes, I understand just how much it hurts to have a lot of friends that care about you. The person you love more than anything left you? Well, at least they didn't marry the person you hated more than anything, have a baby with them, then die at your partial fault. How long had you known this person? Ten years? Eight years? Oh- less than two years. And how did you fall in love with him? Were you his best friend? Oh, I get it. He was 'attractive.' And he liked you because he couldn't read your mind? Well, Miss Swan, I have attempted Legilimency on you, and found nothing in that hollow head of yours. So it's no wonder he couldn't hear anything.

Snape Video of the Week #14

A Penseive Full of Unrequited Love

This is about the saddest song you will ever hear. It's by the Mudbloods, and I haven't heard much of their music except for this song, but I already know they're awesome for writing this.

Like Bravest Man I Ever Knew, the first few times I listened to this song, I cried very hard. It took over a week of watching this at least once a day to get used to it enough that I wouldn't cry, but I still choke up a bit every time I hear it.

This pretty much sums up Snape's life, and in a very sad way, too. The title itself makes me really sad, because I refused to believe that his love for Lily was completely unrequited, as you know if you read my blog everyday.

You know, I think this song is in a close tie with Bravest Man I Ever Knew for my favorite now.

Weekly Snape-ly Event #14

Okay, so I wish I hadn't told you guys this yesterday, so it would be more of a surprise, but I'm going to use it anyway. Either way, I couldn't find anything better.

After months of writing 3-5 pages a night, I have finished Book 1 of my fanfiction. I have kept with the canon timeline, and added an Original Character. So, I basically rewrote the first Harry Potter book from Snape's point of view.

Now, let's take a second to say HOW FREAKING AWESOME that is. Everybody that I told (that I know in real life, not on the internets) didn't think it was cool, though. They just thought I was too obsessed with Snape. Filthy muggles.

Yes, I will rewrite the rest of the books. It's going to take a while, though. But I just thought I should mention this, because it's huge news. To me, at least.

In other news, there was a Harry Potter marathon this weekend. Needless to say, I watched it.
