Definetlyaddicted - Woman Of Sorrows

cant believe that this is how this scene actually went (x)

Would you leave something that is your only reason for happiness but at the same time it’s why you’re miserable?

That’s maladaptive daydreaming

even tho it probably is

Confession : I hope that the human in the ep 2 sneak peek is NOT Stolas. Sorry, I dont want to see him be forced to interact with Blitz just yet. Like let him be my guy.

'Mudblood'

This post is going to reiterate two things: 1) 'Mudblood' is NOT a racist term, contrary to popular Snater fanon belief, and 2) Why Severus wasn't actually wholeheartedly devoted to the pureblood ideology.

'Mudblood' is a classist term, even a bloodist one, not a racist one. A racist term would indicate prejudice between magical and non-magical folk, or creature such as Goblins and House Elves. Mudblood ('dirty blood') is more akin to a class status based on your percentage of magical blood, which also includes Half-Bloods. It is a prejudice term, yes, but not a racist one. Mudblood is no where near the equivalent of the N-word, which has more horrific historical implications than it does of the equivalent in the magical world, which should not even be comparable. Anyone who compares Mudblood to the N-word is well off the mark, and in fact vile to those still suffering the actual implications of racism in the real world. Please never compare real world issues to magical, fictional ones.

2. Severus Snape was never wholeheartedly devoted to the cause. "As he moved up the school, he gathered about him a group of dedicated friends; I call them that, for want of a better term, although as I have already indicated, Riddle undoubtedly felt no affection for any of them. This group had a kind of dark glamour within the castle. They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty. In other words, they were the forerunners of the Death Eaters, and indeed some of them became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts." - HBP

The Death Eaters were not just about blood purity, but about power and domination. There was more than one reason why vulnerable people would join such a cause, and it wasn't always because they actually believed in pureblood supremacy. Which, given the ratio of actual remaining pureblood families, doesn't leave much to be desired. Hell, even Voldemort himself posed a pureblood, when he wasn't.

Reasons Severus wasn’t as magically prejudiced and not wholeheartedly in the belief of the pureblood ideology, as many detractors claim:

He willfully befriended and remained friends with a Muggleborn for about six-seven years of his life, during which that time was overlapped those years rooming with the likes of Avery and Mulciber.

He gives himself the name of Half-Blood Prince. No one immersed within the pureblood ideology would acknowledge he was half-anything, thus implying he was comfortable with the idea of being a half blood and his Muggle blood to an extent. If he truly loathed the Muggle side of him, he would never have named himself as such.

We have been told Severus was calling 'everyone of Lily's birth a Mudblood', but how much of this was actually true/exaggerated, and how ingrained in the ideology was Severus at this point? No one that prejudiced against Muggleborns (supposedly) would still remain friends with one, especially at the same time he was rooming with pureblood Slytherins, including Lucius (during the time he was still in Hogwarts). Severus has a knack for blending in where he needs to, so rooming with such Slytherins would invoke more of the typical cunning for self-preservation. Since we have no other evidence he was deeply rooted in the ideology, I believe he did so to ensure he wasn't bullied and attacked by his own for going against those beliefs, so he hurled Mudblood around as protection whilst he was with them.

We’ve only seen Severus interact with two Muggles – Petunia, who showed disdain for him from the get-go and mocked his appearance, and his father Tobias, who abused his mother, and most likely him.

He was friends with Charity Burbage – Although we don’t know what her blood status was, she taught Muggle Studies. By Voldemort’s standards, she was a blood traitor.

Severus is one of the rare magical folk we see in this series who is never fully integrated into the magical world. He still lived in his house in a Muggle suburb, once inherited by his Muggle father. His neighbors were likely Muggles.

He berates a portrait for referring to Hermione Granger as a Mudblood, when no one else was around to witness it.

He was willing to immediately defect from the Death Eaters, to approach his enemy, to plea for the life of Lily, a Muggleborn he has known since childhood, after spending the previous two years a Death Eater.

Severus may have a difficult past with certain Muggles he has had the misfortune of interacting with, but given what we know of him and what I've outlined above, he was never truly dedicated to the ideology.

He sought security, dominance, knowledge and power, not the purification of a world with anyone not pure of blood.

Because after all - Voldemort was recruiting werewolves and giants to his cause, along with Half-Bloods, and yes, even Muggleborns. Because we know he even asked Lily to join them.

Voldemort recruited those who were useful to him, regardless of race and blood.

You either join, or risk losing your life.

yes i am making this my hill to die on

no im not being petty

your honor, them.

just look at them.

some more cookies, professor?..

Sigh... Helluva Boss episode 4

Okay Vivzie, I'll give you some props... This recent ep was miles better than episodes 2 and 3. Not too good, but it was okay. I appreciated the ending, gave me the vibe that Stolas really will move on this season (thank god for that)

However, they almost lost Strikers personality completely, the dick statue was once again, corny and unnecessary.

Also, they lost me by trying to make Stella dumb. She's meant to be an asshole/ a scorned woman, not a bimbo.

Ill make my critique on the Stolitz texts in another post though.

Come here.

in love in love in love in love
