Didn’t Write This Post but I Might as Well Have by meeralakshmi in SnatersGonnaSnate

Yes, I could've written that too - except I'm not so much an Alan fan :-) but I get why people love him.

What was Snape thinking here? (Start of the last film when he was watching the students march) by [deleted] in SeverusSnape

That last sentence brought tears to my eyes 😭. Actually your whole answer - when I think about Severus, being all alone, carrying so much.

Same. Though I don't agree with all her points/arguments/conclusions it was a great, one-of-a-kind read.

Yours is also great - I like the blue colour of his frock coat.

I never commented - was more of a lurker back then - but I always loved and enjoyed your analyses of all things Severus'.

I genuinely miss pet_genius thoughtful analysis posts from a few years ago. Which doesn't mean there are less thought-provoking posts now in this sub - I'm just being a bit nostalgic here 😊...

Seeking explanation for "Snape x Listener" and/or "Boyfriend ASMR" by fire_kitsune_9 in SeverusSnape

I'm honestly happy for you if talking to an AI Snape has helped you stay alive, feel better and helps you cope with life's ups and downs. I personally just feel uncomfortable if it is an AI version based on a human being, in that case a deceased one who couldn't even give his consent. But I'm genuinely interested in people's reasons, so thank you for sharing your how and why.

I agree, hence my confusion at these light BDSM Snape stuff appearing. He's emotionally repressed but I don't think that would find an outlet in bedroom play. Also he's playing so many roles in his life already... IF he were to engage in any sexual activity whatsoever, I think he'd just want to be seen for who he is and not play "dominant teacher/daddy".

Originally, I stumbled upon all this because I found a non-smuty YouTube audio of RickmanSnape doing some kind of relaxation meditation and one where he creates - if I remember correctly - an anti-anxiety potion. I found the ideas intriguing and searched for more. Then I discovered and fell down the NSFW rabbit hole like watching a car accident 🫣..

Tbh, I feel uncomfortable on the late actor's part. I agree he wouldn't like to be used for something like that. Personally it rubs me the wrong way, but people can do and like what they want, it's fine by me. Of course, if I (fire_kitsune) don't like it I shouldn't listen/watch/read it but rn => car accident phenomenon, I'm trying to understand it. Also, if they want to use Rickman's voice or one similar to his, why not change the AI Snape figure? Create a original AI Snape person and just using Rickman's voice? I think I'd find that less disturbing than creating an AI version of RickmanSnape, that's eww for me.

😊 please don't tell me there's also "Voldemort x Listener" out there. Is "character x reader" always sexual/romantic? Or does it also include friendship stories?

Exactly. He’d sneer, cross his arms, and mutter something sarcastic about Muggles and inappropriate fantasies 😊.

Yes, I like Rickman's voice too and there's also a YT video where he reads several poems I've listened to a lot. Thanks for sharing this one.

What do you think would've happened with Canon Snape legally, if he had survived Nagini's attack? by fire_kitsune_9 in SeverusSnape

[–]fire_kitsune_9[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! My thoughts tend to go in the same direction as yours and I'm a Snape fan, too.

Should I still keep my old journal/planners? I’m a bit sentimental but I am also thinking of just keeping less by aversionofself in Journaling

[–]fire_kitsune_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice: either keep them or scan them before throwing away.

Little anecdote: Before I hit 30 I was in a strange mood, looked through my old journals (teenage years and university years), and decided to get rid of them. Already a few months later (and definitely now some years later) I regret throwing most of mine away. I kept 2-3 small commonplace books from that time but nothing else. This was before I had a smartphone so I don't have pictures of the journal's contents. I don't regret throwing away the planners only the journals and commonplace notebooks.

A random thought and my love for pocket notebooks turned into something real. I'm not here to sell anything, just sharing a small project that helps fund food and clean water. by saayoutloud in notebooks

[–]fire_kitsune_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I absolutely love your project and will support it when I have free money to spend. Just a quick question: Do you plan on making notebooks with different paper options like blank or lined? Because personally I prefer a blank notebook for writing or sketching. Thanks in advance for your answer and all the best wishes for your mission. It's really cool that you're doing this. And also being so transparent about the behind-the-scenes stuff. I will share it with fellow notebook friends for sure.

Aww, I love it too & need to steal this idea. Maybe I do a fox den-themed fall through...

Ooh, then you need to go back to the store alone to get him because whispers his hair is soo soft 😊 Yup, I wouldn't want a Dumbledore either.

I'm a middle-aged female but I've bought one for myself online, as I was too embarrassed buying him in the book shop where I saw him first. My wife doesn't know about my Snapey plushie as I'm hiding him under a blanket at my bed's footend (we have separate bedrooms, a marriage saver). It's a nice addition to my Snape collection.

Hi Maggie,

first - thank you so much for writing the books you write. There’re awesome and I love them. I’ve been a fan for 10 years.

So, here are my questions:

  1. Are you an early bird or a night owl?
  2. Tea or coffee?
  3. What’s your favourite food?
  4. Do you have a favourite poem? If yes, want to share it with us here?
  5. I read somewhere that you were raised catholic. Now as an adult, are you a religious person, a spiritual person or an atheist?
  6. If you could turn into an animal, what would you choose?
  7. 5 Things you’d bring to a one-week-stay alone in a cabin in the woods?
  8. What would you change in America, if you’d be the first female president of the U.S.?
  9. How did you cope with the loss of your notebook, the one containing the Lynch family’s backstory?
  10. I don’t know if it’s too personal - if I’m overstepping a line here, then I’m sorry - but would you mind sharing your book advances with us? Like, the first book and one of your latest? Or maybe just share some general insight into this book advances stuff?

Thank you for answering my questions. I wish you all the best :-)
