Deleted Scenes From The Cruel Prince

i honestly don’t think authors grasp the effect dark haired, morally grey characters have on their readers. like i mean they can literally kill a man and most of us will still be here like

Remus: *appears in the field of vision*

Sirius: (internally) My favourite human has arrived. They are cute and smart and my favorite. I must great them in a manner indicative of my appreciation of their existence.

Sirius: Hey nerd.

Remus: "Why are you naked and covered in oil?"

Sirius: "You know how you always say I never glisten?"

Remus: "Listen. You never listen."

Sirius: "Oh."

If you didn't want me to fall for the villain you shouldn't have made them sexy and sad

reasons why Snape's "redemption",

'your mum didn't let me fuck her bc im racist and called her a slur so now I'm a salty bitch',

doesn't mean shit:

a) he bullied lil children who were his students

b) he let the slytherins be assholes to any one who isn't pure-blood.

d) he caused more than one student to be insecure

e) a students boggart was snape even after the student's parents were crucio'd to insanity.

f) he caused a good hearted werewolf to loose his job bc one of his bullies didn't face the fate of getting his soul sucked out.

g) he made sure the said werewolf would remain unemployed from there on for the rest of his life.

h) he physically abused a fifteen year old, orphaned, abused, child by gripping his arm so tight that the child began to see stars and then threw him across the dungeon floor.

i) he made a hex that could literally KILL by the age of fifteen

j) he bullied the abused child feeling no sympathy towards him even tho the slimeball had been thru the same shit as a child

k) he invaded the said abused child's memory and CALLED IT GROSS EVEN THO IT WAS ONE OF THE ONLY MEMORIES THIS ABUSED CHILD HAD OF HIS PARENTS.

l) he made fun of tonks bc her patronus changed even tho the same shit happened to him.

m) he was racist in the wizarding way. he was racist to everyone except the woman he was, like I said before, he was unhealthily obsessed with.

n) he said that this woman was "different" while others, according to him, were worthy of hatred.

o) he joined the "Good" side bc the "bad" one targeted said woman.

p) he thought it was alright to have her family killed, to have everything she loved, ripped away from her.

q) he didn't care for lily's happiness, he just wanted to be a pathetic rebound.

r) he is the reason she died. voldemort found out about the prophesy bc of snape.

s) oh also, this one's for the people who say shit like "but he protected harry bc of his lOvE for lily". he "protected" Harry sometimes, like in mortal danger, bc he promised dumbledore.

t) he threatened to almost kill Trevor, Neville's toad. no wonder snape's his boggart

there's definitely a lot more and you know it.

Sirius: *gazing with adoration at Remus*

James: mate, you are SO in love with Moony

Sirius: wUT n0!!! hE’s LiKe a bRoTHeR tO mE

Regulus: friendly reminder that IM your brother and if you looked at ME like that…well let’s just say there’s already enough incest in this family

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.

Marlene: I hate men

Sirius: Good, more for me

Character Aesthetic: Jude x Cardan

Our eyes meet, and something dangerous sparks.

He hates you, I remind myself.

“Kiss me again,” he says, drunk and foolish. “Kiss me until I am sick of it.”

I feel those words, feel them like a kick to the stomach. He sees my expression and laughs, a sound full of mockery. I can’t tell which of us he’s laughing at.

He hates you. Even if he wants you, he hates you.

Maybe he hates you the more for it.

After a moment, his eyes flutter closed. His voice falls to a whisper, as though he’s talking to himself. “If you’re the sickness, I suppose you can’t also be the cure.”

He drifts off to sleep, but I am wide awake.
