The fact that they never look at each other but convey their feelings for each other is why Percy Jackson’s casting is god tier (pun intended)
I think one of the reasons Snape fans get so aggressively defensive about him is bc a lot of us relate to him hard. we see a lot of our own trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms in him and obviously our need to comfort our traumatised selves comes out as a desire to comfort Snape
so when people come out with (often factually wrong) hatred towards him, we take it personally bc to a lot of us, he is us
and I may just be speaking for myself here but. as an autistic woman I am often misunderstood in the way Snape is often misunderstood. so when I see people misread him, I see the same people who misread me and try to tell me I’m something I’m not. often in those situations I don’t get to defend myself, so when it happens to Snape I want to defend him. and yeah I get aggressive about it bc like I said, to me it’s personal
anyway TLDR we don’t just like Snape “because of Alan Rickman” (Alan is just a very sexy bonus)
Chapter 1 for Danica is up! Very excited because I think this may be my darkest story yet. Set pre-Incredibles.

how to be a true YEARNER (jk yearn how u want)
⇴ person a watching person b trail further and further off, and person a is frozen in place. person b—though walking away—seems closer than ever through person a's gaze
⇴ being completely hyper-focused on a book, yet every page, every beautiful metaphor reminds person a of person b
⇴ you two are both lying next to each other and you feel asleep. the person next to you has to try their hardest to resist the urge to reach out and touch you. just one stroke of the cheek is all the desire—the chance to have their hands brush across your soft skin.
⇴ "i just can't do it man" "do what?" "i can't just sit in front of them and act like everything's normal. i want more, but i know that it would be wrong to have it. but i need them. i feel crazy—am i crazy?"
⇴ person a keeps thinking about person b, even though they've only met once. once their eyes meet person b's, everything slows. nothing else matters except for the smile on their face. something clicked.
⇴ "have i ever told you that you were the one thing that just made sense?" "no, but go on." and the other person malfunctions because... well where do they start. how do they go about this w/o rambling, or letting their true feelings out?
⇴ the constant need to reach out. the constant need to grab their hand, rub their arm, and put your head on their shoulder.
⇴ wanting to know everything about them—little or big: their daily schedule, what shampoo they use, whether they are feeling the same as you. any crumb of information would be satisfactory
⇴ anxiously bouncing your knee in hopes that you can see them and have a conversation. finding any excuse to come up and talk. you just want to see them and have your eyes fall on their silhouette.
⇴ they laugh at something you said, and the melodious sound of their chuckle carries around the room, gracing your ears. now, you start planning another joke, hoping to hear that warm sound again.
⇴ "i don't think i can hide it anymore. how it's like my heart is on the verge of a heart attack when you text me. how i've delved into all your favorite movies, books, and tv shows ever since you've told me about them. how i wanted to be close to you—not just physically."
⇴ "i kept doing all these things just to see if you would do them with me. i really wanted you to be there with me."
⇴ the way that everything is fine and under control until they take one look at your lips.
⇴ "you're doing that thing by the way. when you lie to make someone feel better? you bite the inside of your bottom lip and nod, then you make this really pitying look with your eyes. like a squinty thing." "...wow"
One of my favorite quotes and I think Celeste will embody it a lot moving forward.

Been a while but I managed to actually write today.
I thank Harry Potter to making my daddy issues worse by having characters such as Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, and Lucius Malfoy. 🤧
Hello, I am an aspiring writer with two current projects. In order to keep the creativity flowing, I do dabble in fanfiction. I hope to get some inspiration on here and display some of my art. *AO3- https://archiveofourown.org/users/SkyHenson/
