Hey So Those Of Y’all In The Marauders Fandom Who Are Saying You’ll Watch If Ben Barnes Plays Sirius

I think Remus has perfected the art of doing everything one handed, when he remembers. But he has a habit of forgetting there's anything in his other hand and just dropping his crutch/cane on the ground.

He's also perfected the little kick to retrieve it off the ground without bending over.

You will never catch him using both of his crutches because he panics and doesn't know what to do when he needs to hold something.

(For Christmas one year Sirius got him a set of crutches that go all around the forearm (among other things) and Remus who's had to buy his own medical equipment and knows how expensive it is demanded the receipt for a WEEK so he could return them. He didn't use them for two because everytime he looked at them he'd feel overwhelmed with love and cry)

hi nini! jasmine & aloe vera for the asks pls? <3

hiii! <3

jasmine: do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

aside from the obvious i’m gonna go with any of the heartstopper books for this, and i could not for the life of me tell you why. i just. don’t feel like i need to reread them? they’re cute and sweet and i love them but i feel very finish it and i’m done.

aloe vera: what’s something (mundane) you really want to experience in life?

this was so hard to think of for some reason…i think a bonfire (suddenly second guessing if this counts as mundane???? 😭) it’s possible i may have done one as a kid that im forgetting but i don’t THINK so? and it sounds so nice…cozy, warm, surrounded by friends…….yes.

ask game here!

I swear the received wisdom we're developing about how to clock AI authorship is going to end up doing more harm than good. "Generative language models don't remember what they've written before, so plot holes in fanfic are a red flag that the author is using AI" yeah, and you know who else doesn't remember what they wrote last chapter?

Bring back unattractive Remus Lupin I scream. Stop making every marauders character conventionally attractive I beg them. But the crowd does not hear me

(image description: a three panel drawing with very simple sketched lines and only a little quick coloration. it depicts a woman sitting at a desk, with a computer keyboard, musing aloud; "sometimes I wish my creative works would just make themselves...", after which she is startled by the arrival of a stick figure with a square head labeled "generative AI," which replies; "I can do that." the final panel is the only one with detailed color and lighting, showing the artist whipping out a pencil-shaped laser gun and exploding the AI entity. end description.)

had a conversation in a writing server, decided to make a meme about it.

sirius: how is it that you can say the same thing fifty different ways?

remus: i don’t know. i normally can’t. i’m not usually the best with words, but around you, it’s different. i guess you’re just inspiring. a muse often is.

periodical reminder that if you are in the marauders fandom, and you consider yourself anti-jkr + anti-transphobia, you cannot ethically engage with any form of official content, merch or ‘experiences’ (i.e studio tours etc).

any money that you spend on jkr’s IP could legitimately be used to fund transphobia through her donations to anti-trans charities.

you may consider yourself anti-transphobia, but by voting with the money in your pocket, you show where your true affiliations lie. you show whether or not you value your entertainment over trans lives.

supporting jkr in a ‘marauders way’ or an ‘atyd way’ means nothing when that money all just ends up in her pocket.

so please. you don’t need a reboot. you don’t need a marauders series. you don’t need that official hp merch.

there’s a whole world of free fan created content out there to explore. enough for a lifetime.

perhaps start there.

James who ran like his life depended on it when Sirius told him what he had done.

James whose only thought was Remus, and the fact that he had to save him from his own self because he knew that Remus would never forgive himself if he hurt Snape.

James who was ready to throw himself to death without another thought to push Severus away from the shack before just as moony is ready to pounce at him.

James who stays by the door the whole night to make sure moony was okay, and then by his side in the hospital wing when he wakes up.

James who holds Remus as he cries his heart out when he hears about what Sirius has done, who nurses him back to health as he becomes a shell of his own self.

James who comes learns how to take the muggle train to go to Whales every day during that summer because he can't apparate yet, even though Remus told him not to come. But he still goes and sits with hope in the living room or helps her around the farm when Remus doesn't come out of his room.

James who keeps bringing him books from Effie's library everyday since Hope told him Remus had been rereading his old books because he didn't want to go out to the library, and so he sets them by his door and sits there with his back against the wood, babbling about nothing and everything through it till the time for the last train back rolls around.

That is, untill Remus opens the door and James falls down on the ground, his eyes wide and his glasses askew as he watched the upside down face of the best friend he hadn't seen in a month.

Remus has a fond exasperated look on his face at the sight of the sweet boy who kept coming back no matter how much he tried to push him away.

They spend that summer running around in fields or sprawled under the shade of the trees as Remus read one of Effie's books and James rested his head in his lap, something that after days evolves into Remus carding his fingers through his wild messy hair, delicately removing his gold rimmed glasses as he dozed off under the shade of the trees while Hope watches them with a small smile on her face from the kitchen window, taking out her camera to capture the sweet moment because she knew that one day the oblivious pair would want it.
