the "I'm not a drinker myself" to gradually becoming an alcoholic to numb out the pain pipeline
the "I don't want them to change me. turn me into something I'm not" to being turned into a mutt version of himself pipeline
the "I do everything in my power to protect my sister" to losing her anyway pipeline
my remus is soooo mid that he would have invented the word mid if he wasnt so mid at being mid too
mid height
mid hair colour u cant decide is brown or blonde
no scars until the war—his face is plaaaain
hes quiet
and lowkey just happy to be here 24/7; my man wants to fit in sooo badly and is soooo surprised when he does
"like remus is a rugged, lean and tall guy [...] whilst he's all sharp lines, there's something scary about him that pulls people in." I... don't think we read the same books... or even watched the same fucking movies lol are we forgetting they called him looney loopy lupin?? that doesn't scream "scary that pulls people in" to me but rather school's weirdo. leave my poor lad alone.
I accept wolfstarbucks only in the form where prongsfoot are smitten with each other and they're official but Remus is just given scraps and is brought into the bedroom to spice it up for James and Sirius but they don't REALLY like him it's just fun and Remus knows and is completely okay with it because it's the only way he gets romantic attention from sirius
and if u do hurt someone—WHICH YOU EVENTUALLY WILL CUZ YOU ARE HUMAN—remember: a good person acknowledges they’ve done wrong and changes their behaviour. its ok to do wrong, we all do, inevitably.
do not be so afraid to do wrong that you keep yourself in denial about all the wrong that you are doing
that’s what a bad person does
You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong
prongsfoot with james as the cav and sirius as the necro
he pulls a harrowhark after james dies
saint of hubris or courage
no longer sorting my blorbos by hogwarts house or deity parent or whatever. instead taking every duo I’ve ever obsessed over and deciding who would be necromancer and who would be cav and most importantly what would their epithet be if they became lyctors
this is so rogue but does anyone have the poetry template that went semi-viral on twitter a while back? it was designed for kids but someone gave it to their mother who has dementia and she wrote a really moving poem about her experience.
I’ve been thinking about John’s choice of Barbie-form Alecto in the conext of ecofeminism.
The idea that environmentalism and feminism are intrinsically linked and we cannot save the Earth without first disbanding the patriarchy.
Man dominates the Earth and its resources, because they have dubbed it as female, and that’s what you do to women. It’s your God-given right.
Gaia, Mother Nature, Prithvi, Terra.
Notice how matriarchal societies, like North American First Nations (from the West Coast i am most familial with Musqueam), value and respect the Earth. Many of their creation stories centre nature and animals, featuring them as something humans can learn from and follow.
Patriarchal and colonial societies like England dominate both their women and the Earth. Their God puts man (male, white) above everything else; so is his right to own everything.
In a misogynistic society it is almost impossible to treat the Earth with respect, because how can you value Mother Nature when women are a resource to be used?
John is against trillionaires. He’s a scientist. He recognizes that the rich have abused and destroyed the planet, harming the poor. He cares about the Earth and wants to let it heal. He loves Alecto, in his own way.
But still, he uses her. He locks the Earth’s soul in a Barbie doll and uses her power to consume all the other planets in the solar system, murder every person in sight and make himself God.
He’s passionate about climate change because he recognizes the abuse the wealthy enact on the world for their own benefit as what they have been doing to him—the common people, the indigenous people. He’s mad (rightfully) at the injustice against him, but he’s not trying to save the Earth because he respects it, but because he wants to save the people he resonates with.
He doesn’t want to remove the boot, he wants to become it. He shows this by recreating catholicism in the Nine Houses. He’s Maori, that’s not his indigenous religion. It is the religion of God-given domination. That’s what he wants.
He was never going to save the Earth, he just wanted to be the one to imprison it. TM has shown us this through his objectification and feminization of Alecto.
