Tamsyn Muir: “Here's a series about how a man's vindictiveness dooms the universe, all because his trauma left him incapable of believing in forgiveness over vengeance. As contrast, the protag in the first book reflects something closer to divinity by extending her abuser grace so that she can repent and change, and the protag of the third book begs her brother to not flatten a planet in revenge after having experienced forgiveness.”
too many TLT fans: “yass can't wait for my girlies to kill God!!!”
i dislike remadora because tonks was a young woman who got pregnant then almost abandoned by her much older loser husband (she deserves the world—charliextonks and fleurxtonks are cute give me more shipping ideas pls)
i like remadora becuase its gets in the way of wolfstar and i hate wolfstar
U hate remadora because tonks 'gets in the way' of your ship, i hate remadora because i think the author did a disservice to tonks's character and she deserves better. We are not the same
who said that 🫣
my friend wrote a paper on tlt concerning gender, queerness, and ecofeminism and it broke my brain
tldr he outlined how the present necro/cav dynamic (eg. how cav is subservient to their necro and romantic relationships between the two parties is taboo) is a result of johns implicit misogyny he projected onto earth/alecto; how in this sans-misogyny world queerness/homophobia still exists in necro/cav ships
so ive been reanalyzing all the tlt relationships from the lense of necroxnecro cavxcav = hetero and necroxcav = queer and OH MY GOD
griddlehark = queer
lobotomized harrow was replacing her queer relationship (cav!gideon) with a coworker hetero one (cav!ortus)
giddianthe = hetero
kirianthe = queer
tridentaricest = queer, but as corona was “necro-passing” it could be BUTCHFEMME REALNESS
idk how to classify paul…

This poll is being ran purely out of curiosity, and I ask that you please specify where exactly you hc James to be from in the comments or reblogs !!
Edit: I forgot to put both south asian or middle eastern bc I'm an idiot who's bad at geography. If you see him as either, please put other and explain which country(ies) you hc him to be from !! Both regions will be included in the next poll I do
one thing i love about tlt is that almost every character (save coronabeth) is described at some point in some way or another as ugly
theyre all just scraggly, wet rats. awkward, and sharp, and lanky and offputting
theyre human.
and it makes them all so beautiful

lily, responding:
And I’ll only have to do that for sixty more years, but you, you will have to miss me forever. My bones won’t even be left to dig up, broken down to minerals, and you’ll still be missing me.
toxic vampire marlene to human lily after a break up:
you'll think of me every month, you will remember me every time. love, you won't even be able to bleed without thinking of me
james is like: “my parents always gave me attention so im gonna start tweaking sooo bad and make it everyones problem if everybody doesnt start giving me all their attention” and lowkey is really hot and smart and athletic so he gets what he wants
sirius is like: “my parents raised me to believe that due to the family i was born into i deserve everybodys attention and am naturally better than them all, and lowkey its annoyed when people do give me attention cuz i dont gaf about them” but the non-chalance makes him more attractive, plus this world view never changes because he is actually hotter and smarter and more talented than everybody
remus is like: “the world taught me that i would never be loved becuase im a werewolf but then these two guys who are actually better than everybody adopted me and im just happy to be here” and lowkey just remains grappling onto the only people that befriend him (cough dumbledoor and tonks cough)
peter is like: “i dont have confidence in my own merits so ill stick onto the most powerful perosn in my vicinity and make myself so loyal and useful and entertaining to them” and in school thats the popular bullies J and S and their werewolf, but in the real world thats the bald racist guy with an army
james loooooves that remus and pete worship him and lowkey gets off on it cuz thats all he wants, and in turn he worships sirius cuz his non-chalant coolness is all he wants to be, but hes also super opionated and has a lot of pride which overshadows that
sirius thinks pete is smart and funny, thinks remus is smart and useful, and lowkey isnt a fan of them worshipping him, but puts up with it cuz he expects it. james has too much pride to show he worships sirius and on other merits sirius deems james an equal so hes lowkey in love with him and thats why theyre friends
remus likes that the three of them find his lyconthropy cool and useful for once; he feels special for it instead of rejected
pete likes that the three of them protect him and hype him up, cuz he lowkey needs that on all levels
