why is half of fandom culture rn just hate. like everyone’s either talking shit about each other or posting content promoting hate for hc. i’m so sick of the only marauders content im seeing be “what ur least favorite ship” or “what a hc you really hate” or the worst one of all “what a popular fic you really hate”. i’m actually so lost on when we started to allow this to be acceptable fandom etiquette. you guys do realize fanfic is free right? meaning none of these authors owe you anything. the best way i’ve seen it put is “this is content that is shared with you not made for you” by messrsrobyn on tiktok. meaning take a step back remember that this is supposed to be for fun, and sharing opinions and promoting hate are 2 very different things.
Will never not be upset when people hate on and are rude about the genderfluid/transfem/feminine Sirius headcanons.
I genuinely don't understand why people get so peeved off about it,"it's just to make Wolfstar straight", no it's not, it's for representation, it's because people see themselves in Sirius, it's because the person who created him is a raging terf, or maybe it's just because that's how some people imagine him in their heads, and there is nothing wrong with that. (The only situation i can accept this complaint in is when it's cis woman Sirius x cis man Remus, but otherwise who cares?? Making characters trans doesn't hurt anyone.) Making Sirius genderfluid/transfem/feminine also doesn't take away their queerness and the queerness of their relationship, Sirius is still queer, Remus is still queer, it's not a straight relationship. It's also not something worth sending people death threaths over, I too see headcanons that I don't like, but I just scroll, or I hit not interested and maybe block if it's something like that (that' literally their purpose, interacting with a post you don't like will just get more posts like that on your dash), it's literally not that hard to not be a fucking asshole, it's basic fandom etiquette.
Also this is just my opinion, but I think the gender non-conforming Sirius headcanon makes so much sense for who he is as a character.
(My Sirius has been genderfluid (he/she/they) for literal years, I'm not going to change my opinion just because someone sends a hateful comment. I also really love t4t Wolfstar, I love headcanoning Remus as genderqueer/transmasc, I kick my feet everytime i think about them.)
(Also this post's purpose isn't to send hate to people who headcanon Sirius as a cis man, if that's how you see him, that's completely valid.)
Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️⚧️🇬🇧
Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole snarky and sarcastic Remus lupin, but I feel like the marauders fandom has forgotten his most important trait: his kindness.
He was one of the kindest people harry had ever known, and he was probably the kindest teacher at Hogwarts.
I love sarcastic Remus, but he can be sarcastic and kind
I think people let JK Rowling's transphobia define her too much, we need to acknowledge her other aspects.
She's also a racist, antisemitic, and a Holocaust denier, we can't forget that!
orchid and sage pretty pls nini <3
hi rae!!
orchid: what’s a song you consider to be perfect?
ooh this is a good question. i’m 100% that person whose taste in music changes constantly so if you asked me this in a few months the answer would likely be different! and i also am sooo bad at picking favorites for literally anything and this feels adjacent to picking a favorite 😭 but im tentatively saying one of these two…
sage: what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is?
okay i think i have to say fiction/books for this one because it is one of the rare art forms that actually makes me feel things? i deeply enjoy many other forms of art but writing is one of the few that actually makes me feel the emotions the artist is trying to convey. i absorb the emotions so easily from writing, and i truly do not know why!
ask game here!
remus does not now how to exist in groups (before the marauders at least) and ends up following them across the whole school even though he was supposed to turn 10 minutes ago but he didn’t know how to interrupt them to say bye and he didn’t want to just disappear in fear of coming across as rude so he stayed silent and kept following
Hello everyone and welcome all to prompting for HP Ace Aro Fest, or HPAAF for short, for 2025!!
Prompting will be ongoing from now through Aromantic Visibility Day which is June 5th.
Chapter 7 of BRTC is up!
In which Remus removes chest tape and Sirius learns about it.
The next chapter of BRTC will be the final chapter, which is so surreal to say!
