if I ever reblog something that’s AI please tell me so I can delete it because I don’t want that absolute slop on my flawless tumblr
You couldn’t even pry post-Azkaban Wolfstar from my cold, dead body. They’re SO important to me. So broken and alone for so damn long and they need each other but they hate each other and themselves but they never really stopped having love for each other even when it killed them because of all the betrayal and all of those years apart. When Sirius is at his lowest and Remus is there and they both can start to pick up all the little pieces but they’re also able to cherish all of the broken bits anyway.
( This post is starting to get some attention, so I'd appreciate it if you'd follow my art blog @katlyntheartist )
Wolfstar Uni AU but Remus had to extend a year in uni because he had a chronic illness and (despite what this capitalistic society wants us to believe) keeping up with uni + falling ill once a month wasn't bearable anymore so he had to do a big mental work and stop being a perfectionist. And by that time he met Sirius in Uni and began a cute friendship where the posh punk guy dropped him to all his doctors appointment so Remus could gain some free time to go on actual dates with him (a perfect plan in Sirius's mind).
In my humble opinion, a young rjl's favorite 3 flirtation tactics are as follows:
Wincing and stretching out his shoulders until Sirius offers to give him a shoulder massage
Writing silently about Sirius in his journal (it's a diary) alone in the corner of the common room, stealing looks at Sirius until he looks back, and then looking away so quickly he gets whiplash
And finally—his boldest, and most effective tactic—looking up at Sirius and batting his big brown eyes at him
Please share other Remus Lupin flirtation tactics in the tags !!
Just some food for thought because I too have been seeing lots of posts about Remus being mean/not being mean, and my main thought is that there's a big difference between snapping at your friends when you're angry or tired or upset, and being degrading and verbally abusive!! I think 100% Remus could and probably would be snappy or sometimes a little unintentionally mean/maybe even intentionally mean when he's super tired or in pain or hurting. And yes, sometimes I think he could very well be capable of causing harm to his friends! But I do think he would feel really bad immediately, and would either apologize or avoid the person he was rude to for a bit out of guilt. I do not think remus is the type to be degrading and horrible to his friends—or to his partners—and then use his pain/exhaustion as an excuse. If anything, I think he would internally feel that the wolf makes him angry or mean, and that would outwardly cause him fight tooth and nail to be in control/not lash out at people
If you want a new marauders movie/show/reboot then you are supporting jkr and also not appreciating the already beautiful fandom created by queer people for your entertainment for free. Pls leave.
What’s this? A new chapter of BRTC???
Remus finally gets his haircut!
Sirius, winking at Remus: Remus, dropping his books: Peter: "Moony, you good?" Remus: "no. i'm deceased. tell my story."
if you only want to write smutty drabbles, write smutty drabbles. if you don't want to write smut at all, don't write smut. if you want to write tropes that have been written 85838593929 times, write them. if you've already written a specific trope and want to write it again, do it. if you want to write for a character but feel like there's no demand for that character, do it anyway. don't feel pressured to reach a certain word count, don't feel pressured to stick to a posting schedule. you're literally doing this for FREE, in your free time. whatever YOU want your writing/fanfiction experience to be is valid - it doesn't have to be like everyone else's, and you don't have to cater to what you think people want 🫶🏻
bc i am super late to this and it is wednesday now oops. thanks @barkingatthemooninsteadofwriting and @madefortherain for the tag! loved your snippets <3
here is a third snippet from lotf ch 4 because yes, i am still working on that same chapter 😭 in my defense i’m working on another fic (with a deadline!) at the same time!!
Remus chooses to believe that he is simply growing as a person and learning to challenge his anxiety instead of letting it hold him back, rather than it having anything to do with how intense his feelings for Sirius are. Because they aren't. Intense. They're just...feelings. Regular feelings. The exact normal amount of feelings that should be expected on the way to a second date.
open tag bc i’ve tagged so many people in so many things recently. would love to see anyone’s snippets! <3
