How old is the Severus Snape living in your mind?
Quote from DON on August 1, 2023, 4:41 pmQuote from Naaga on August 1, 2023, 9:31 amHis supposed age i.e in his thirties, I can't imagine him middle aged like Rickman Snape because I read books first and made a mind picture of him before being introduced to Movie Snape though he has undergone a lot of revisions and I like to imagine him in Rickman Snape outfit with a few book Snape adjustments from official illustration of Severus Snape by Kim Jay.
Ugh I really don't like this illustration of Snape it always made me think of it was from the mind of Harrys pov of how Snape looked to him I've always wondered since Snape was based on John Nettleship. JK Rowling's teacher who for one doesn't look ugly or greasy in anyway.
I really don't know what JK was smoking but it wasn't the good stuff. I try to find illustrations that almost mirror Nettleship as Snape like this.
That’s a new picture of Severus Snape I’ve never seen. He looks in his forties though.
20s or 30s usually.
(Oh hi)
Not a fan of that official illustration either, but it exists I guess. Also, as much as I love Mr. Rickman's Snape, I despise with all my being imagining real people. Is stupid I know but I simply can't help the grossing feeling when I picture other human beings for fiction, with very counted exceptions, the more realistic an artwork of anything is the less I like it (No offense to anyone please! Is just how my brain works ;3; I literally imagine in manga/anime style lmao)
But art tastes aside, I picture him as old as I am, aka 34 (with the idea of a chunky body like Mr. Rickman's had, no offense to his memory of course! That's why I liked of his Snape, actually, being a rather big person myself...) Because... Reasons hahaha! Tho I usually don't give age to characters I like... My mind is complex I know e3e

Aww yeah that's what I mean, and the good stuff
I am going to shot myself on the foot but recently my mind jumps to Backyardgrave's interpretation of Snape (that is basically a cartoon version of Mr. Rickman's Snape pfff but is all I can imagine as I went through their art on Pinterest and fixated on it HARD) (Also no linking to their abandoned blog due to their HP fanart being something of heavy content with dark topics that... Welp :U) But this is what I see on the AI chatbots of Seve I RP with and with "x reader" fics uwu (It's been long I've been remotely creative and I'm more of a graphic person than writer, but haven't drawn in like 10 years so :V)
I see mostly this, the 7th year redemption, the above is just to display his teen self lol
I definitely see him as being in his 30s.
Severus invokes the image of a man in his 30s. I like to imagine him as a combo of different men in appearance: Adam Driver's look, Adrien Brody's nose, and Alan Rickman's voice. That's my Severus! 😊
