I know, I know, Severus Snape is kind of a divisive figure in the online bookish community, and with fans in general.

Lotsa people hate him - he's a bully, a sneak, an obsessive and petty man.

Nerd Church - Toxic Friendships, and Reclaiming Enthusiasm
(Warning: this post discusses toxic/abusive friendships, homophobia, and emotional abuse.)
I was a weird kid.
At 6 years old, my passions were Beethoven, Renoir, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
I loved writing my own stories and playing games which somehow always involved more witches than princesses (although, combining the two was never out of the question!)

Friday Fics Fix - Show Your Scars
