snape hate: he was already fucked up when he was 10. he fought back so it wasn’t bullying. he just decided to not seek help and rejected the only person who ever cared about him.
me:
seriously y’all reblogging and liking these tik toks was the biggest mistake you guys ever made because i’ll keep making more trashy memes
in my humble opinion, the fact that snape was a death eater should not even be such a frequent talking point in anti snape rhetoric, given that he spent the last part of his life trying to bring them down.
im not saying it cancels it out, but im saying that if you have beef with him for joining the DE, surely you’ll have to acknowledge and appreciate that he tried to make up for it by doing his best to destroy them altogether?
if a person made a mistake when they were young, but ultimately gave their life to make that mistake right, you can’t sit here and attack the person for making said mistake, while completely disregarding their very serious and equally important act of atonement that followed.
yes, joining the death eaters was perhaps the worst thing snape did, but giving his actual life to dismantle them is the best, and those two should always come hand in hand in a debate or argument, because mentioning only one is a distortion of his arc, even his essence if you will.
tldr; if you’re gonna mention snape’s past in the death eaters, you better also bring up the fact that he sacrificed his life to stop them.
i always joke with my friends that the malfoy family is matriarchal, partly because i, personally, would let narcissa boss me around in a heartbeat, but also because i actually think there’s a solid canon backing that she’s like. the Head Bitch of the family. especially later on in the series. (it’s also why i think reading lucius as abusive is a misreading of their relationship, but whatever.)
just in general, i will never understand the reading that she’s meek or timid. we see so little of her character but with what we do see, she defies voldemort twice (lying about harry and going to severus for help), doesn’t shy away from standing up for herself/her family, seemingly holds the family together when lucius has his fall from grace, is not the least bit scared of her sister, and is more than willing to throw hands with her son’s rivals in public. to me, she’s very much lucius’ equal, even if she isn’t a sadist like her husband or sister (and i suppose there’s not a whole lot of canon material on that either way, so you can’t say for sure what she is). her capacity for compassion does not automatically make her kind, nor weak, especially since her compassion does not seem to extend past her family.
personally, narcissa gives me a lot of lady macbeth vibes. particularly the whole ‘look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.’ (‘s also why i think she’s aptly named—daffodils are pretty and poisonous.) but back to my point:
the example of narcissa’s authority pre-everything going to shit is obviously this:
which is easily passable as an insignificant win in a family discussion, but then
you’ve got
stuff like
this
i haven’t read the books in a couple of years, so these examples are just the ones i can pluck from the top of my head, but i think it’s very interesting that narcissa is generally the one who defends the family, who lucius and draco turn to for guidance, and who is also just. the only malfoy the other death eaters seem to really respect (dh era).
there’s also the matter of movie canon, which i’m pretty eh with, but i do prefer the malfoy family ending in the films to the one in the books. and the fact that it’s narcissa who instigates it—who gets draco to come to them after he’s ignored lucius’ call, who walks away and calls for lucius to follow (and then he does)—is a nice representation of the authority she has in the books, i think. and then there’s also this:
which i could wax poetic on for hours, but it’d mostly just be shippy ramblings.
anyway. tl;dr: the timid, meek narcissa you sometimes see in fanon is ridiculous.
Awwww he’s so cute and fluffy
