cant believe that this is how this scene actually went (x)
They didnt interact at all in that time and Stolas was too busy trying to raise his daughter, he wasn't drooling over blitz for two full decades like lets start to get serious please. wow, Stolas held on to the one positive interaction he had as a child with a boy he likes, guess that makes him some crazy obsessed fiend. like what? get real. yall love using the "obsession" argument for any ship you dont like. He acknowledged Blitz aint happy with their current arrangement, yall good now? damn.
👏REBLOG👏IF 👏YOU👏 AGREE👏
Im trying to smile.
Remember when Stolas used to look so bold and powerful in the pilot? yeah me too
Remember also when, before the pilot came out, we thought he was going to be the main villain? wild times
the funniest part of the snape antis on this hellsite is everyone hating him but simultaneously being obsessed enough to ascribe everything cool about him to other characters. like james potter as the half blood prince? LMAO. because his family created hair serum?! or regulus as a swashbuckling double agent? ma'am he fell at the first hurdle.
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.
I AM ROLLING
so we know lupin and sirius had both stated that snape knew way more about the dark arts than anyone else in his first year of hogwarts. we also know that sirius hated his family house for their awful pure blood supremacist views. but. BUT. i am CACKLING at the thought of snape being told the new headquarters for the order of the phoenix and entering sirius' house for the first time. remember harry's absolute horror and bafflement at grimmauld place the first time he went there? i know snape took one step inside, probably saw tonks trip over the troll foot, heard walburga black and said I KNOW YOU F*CKIN LYIN TO ME RIGHT NEOOWWWW?!??!!? BITCH ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?! (pun unitendes) COMING FOR ME ALL THESE YEARS WHOLE TIME THIS WAS YOUR YARD?!?!?!
do you remember that bit in twitches when cameron goes to alex's house for the first time and whole time she's just like "...this is your house...?" in this really "im trying my hardest not to be rude" way.
i know during one of the meetings sirius or molly was pouring everyone tea, and the teapot was probably this ornate serpent with all these evil symbols, and snape took one look at it just like:
i roll my eyes every time to. yall manifesting that mans death for some reason
i genuinely hope that everyone predicting stolas' dying or being left by his beloved ones are terribly wrong 😐 no offense i just don't want it to happen since so many fans repeat it like a mantra
The Helluva Boss Fandom pretending Stolas wasn't fully and obviously in love with Blitzo from episode 2 is honestly so weird to me.
Like yeah Blitz can't see it cuz he has truama and shit and doesn't see all the the audience sees but after episodes like loo loo land and the harvest festival y'all really going to say Stolas just wanted Blitz for sex??
More passionate than hope, far deeper than despair.Caribbean, 21.
