Weekly Snape-ly Event #16

Okay, I realize I should've done this yesterday, as it's a picture, but it's a pretty big piece of Snape news too.

This happened a few days ago, but a Deathly Hallows Part 2 poster for Snape has been released. It was one of the last, followed only by Bellatrix, which I honestly think is pretty stupid. At the very least, he should've been the fourth- after the Trio. But that doesn't matter now, because it's out now.

This is just... SO. AMAZING. It is by far the best DH poster (and yes, I am just saying that because I love Snape). But even if you don't like Snape, you can't deny that this is intense. His expression is perfect, the lighting is perfect, his hair is perfect... And I love the sparks... It really intensifies it even more. I wonder how long Alan Rickman had to stay in the photoshoot to get this... probably not long at all. They just tell him, "Okay Alan, the point of this is to look as sexy as possible." Then he says, "No problem." And it's done in five minutes.

I have one more piece of news for today; the MiM Experience has recently announced an opportunity to become more active in the Prince's Tale when we get there. Everything was explained on their Facebook page, but I have it here:

With the Final Battle fast approaching, the Magic is Might staff is working tirelessly to send out this experience in style. Whether or not you like Snape, everyone can agree that the Prince’s Tale is one of the most pivotal and unexpected portions of the series. Thus, we have decided to do something a little bit different for this section. We’re not going to release all the details, but you’ll definitely see the end result the day of the Final Battle. However, we do have a request for you to help make this surprise possible. Here’s what we want:

We need hand-drawn pictures of “The Prince’s Tale,” whatever that means to you. Each picture should be a scene that you think would be appropriate for this topic. It does not need to come straight from that chapter, but should have some sort of canon basis (ie: no Snarry). We will choose what is and isn’t appropriate, and apologize in advance if your picture is not included. Here are some things you can do ahead of time to ensure that your picture will be included.

1) The picture should be 4 in wide and 5 inches long, or 288X360 pixels. It should also not be too detailed that if it’s shrunk down you can’t tell what it is.
2) The picture should either be hand-drawn or made on a computer, but cannot include pictures from the movie. They can be based off of scenes from the movie, but can’t be direct screenshots.
3) We have young viewers. Use your discretion, but if your material is inappropriate in any way, we will not include it. Use your judgment.
4) Be creative! We don’t just want all pictures of the same thing.
5) Have your picture turned in by June 27th. If it’s not in by then, we’re not using it.

Send your drawing to princestale@magicismight.co.uk . You may sign it in the corner, but you may not place a watermark or anything across it or we won’t use it. Within your email, include this statement:

I give permission for this image to be used or sold by the Magic is Might Experience (and then “sign” it by typing your name.

We promise we won’t abuse your image, but once you “sign” this disclaimer, there’s no turning back.

Thank you so much, and see you on July 5th-6th!
The Magic is Might Team

I'll be submitting a picture, and I hope some of you guys do, too!

Snape Picture of the Week #16

It's about time we had another sexy picture. And this would definitely fit the criteria... 

I doubt Snape would read naked, but I hope he does. And no, I didn't draw this. It was on http://www.whatwouldseverusdo.tumblr.com/. Although, I have drawn similar things...

Whoever drew this, I love you. But I love Snape more.

Snape Products You Should Totally Buy #2

Sorry's today's post is so late... I got--er, *distracted*. Well, I was finishing the latest chapter of my fanfic, which I always do on Saturdays, and then I was studying for exams. Yep, I definitely have my priorities in order.

Anyway, I made a hurried decision (It's not because I'm lazy or anything...) for today's Snape product, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad one. Now, many of you Snapers (Lol, get it?) may already own this, but I'm featuring Snape's Wand. And for those of you that have been living under a rock with only mundane ways of expressing your love for Snape-- yes, you can buy exact replicas of Snape's wand. You can order it directly from Orlando Studios like I did, Noble Collection, or Ebay. The cheapest you can get it is from Orlando Studios, so I would advise ordering it there.

What Snape fan would not want his wand? Wow, I didn't even realize how sexual that sounded until after I typed it. *sniggers* Well, let's just assume I mean it both ways. Unfortunately, though, his other *wand* is not available for purchase. At least, not yet.

And I thought I should I should you guys my Snape Wand:

It's the most precious thing I own.

Fanfiction Friday #16

I really had to go searching for this one. I tried to find one of a pairing that I haven't done before. It was hard and took a while, but I did it.

Well, it's a Snape/Voldemort, and it's called Bodies are For Taking. I know very few Snapedemort fans, and am not really one myself, but I have to admit, this is pretty good. It's only one chapter(but an immensely long one), and somewhat AU. Actually, the only part that's AU is that Dumbledore is alive during the Battle of Hogwarts, and that Snape is screwing Voldemort. Then again, the way it's written, there's almost no way to prove it didn't happen.

And yes, it's rated M. So expect explicit sex scenes(and Voldemort is totally into S&M). But as for everything, I really like the creative spin the author took on it. It's well written, but I couldn't blame you if you outright refuse to even click on the link, since it's *Snapedemort*. You know, I'm not even sure if that's the term for the pairing. It sounds like it would be, though...

Warning: There is character death. Just thought I should say that.

*Drinks a dose of Felix Felicis* Oh, a link to a fanfiction, how lucky! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6832336/1/Bodies_Are_For_Taking

Snape Quote of the Week #15

  "Draco, do it or stand aside so one of us--" screeched the woman, but at that precise moment, the door to the ramparts bust open once more and there stood Snape, his wand clutched in his hand as the black eyes swept the scene, from Dumbledore slumped against the wall, to the four Death Eaters, including the enraged werewolf, and Malfoy.
  "We've got a problem, Snape," said the lumpy Amycus, whose eyes and wand were fixed alike upon Dumbledore, "the boy doesn't seem able--"
  But somebody else had spoken Snape's name, quite softly.
  "Severus..."
  The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experience all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading.
  Snape said nothing, but walked forward and pushed Malfoy out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.
  Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
  "Severus... please..."
  Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
  "Avada Kedavra!"

You all knew I was going to have to do this one eventually. And I really shouldn't have to explain when or where this happened, because this has become an iconic scene. I mean, there's a meme based off of it.

I just finished reading Half-Blood Prince today (for the millionth time), and I nearly cried while reading the last few chapters. It was partly because I was imagining how everything's going to play out with Snape and my OC in my fanfiction(in which I will rewrite all the books in their POV), and it partly because I was feeling horribly sorry sorry for Snape.

I told some people this, and they all looked at me like I was crazy. Turns out they've all read up to Half-Blood Prince, but haven't read Deathly Hallows yet. Siriusly?! I don't get this. It seems like everyone I meet that claims that they love Harry Potter hasn't read all of the books. They've either read up to Goblet of Fire and stopped because "the books were getting too long," or they've read all but Deathly Hallows.

Okay, they can't say that it's too long, because Order of the Phoenix is much longer, and they've read that. They can't say they can't find it, because it's been out since 2007. I should get back to discussing the quote, but if anyone can give me a good answer to this question, please tell me.

Even the people that have read all the books thought I was crazy, though. But why? Why don't they love Snape? Ughhh... it frustrates me so much that people can know exactly why Snape's so great, and not love him and feel sorry for him. He had to kill Dumbledore, which we all know that he really didn't want to do. Can you even imagine how much grief he was feeling? Or how angry he was when Harry called him a coward?

Snape Insults YOU #15

Snape Insults Jacob Black

Mister Black, if you unceremoniously remove your shirt during class one more time, I will be forced to expel you. For the time being, fifty points from Gryffindor, and a week's detention, I think. I'd expect that you and Rebecca will be spending the rest of the Saturdays of the year harvesting flobberworms. A shame you had to turn out so much like your delinquent cousin, Sirius. And just as I discovered about him, Mister Black, it has come to my attention that you are, in fact, an unregistered Animagus. How original, too, the animal you transform into. I suppose it is also a coincidence that you have a certain fondness for the Muggle contraption known as motorcycles? Hardly. Twenty more points, simply because I don't like you.

Snape Video of the Week #15

Potter Puppet Pals- Mustache Buddies

I have to say, this is one of my favorite PPP episodes. Voldemort's effing hilarious, and so is Snape even though he's completely in character.

Can you even imagine Snape with a mustache? Actually, I can, and he looks pretty damn sexy. Well, Alan Rickman has had a mustache in Truly Madly Deeply, The January Man, Robin Hood, Quigley Down Under, Die Hard, Rasputin, and Bottle Shock. And it's most often acompanied with a beard, but still, it's sexy.

I wonder if Snape shaves, or if he uses a charm to make sure hair doesn't grow on his face... These are the essential questions, people.
