"who Fell First Who Fell Harder" I Actually Need Them Both To Be Down Horrendously Bad For Each Other.

helloooooo :)

🐌, ✨ & 🥳 for the ask game pls <3

hello!! thanks for the asks!

🐌 What is one of your smallest writing goals? To be honest I’m not sure that any of my goals count as small? I guess small is a bit subjective haha but probably my smallest is to finish writing + posting BRTC! It’s smallest in terms of difficulty/anxiety inducement at least lol but also not a huge amount of writing I think! Probably three more chapters max? This could change though.

✨What's one area of your writing that you think needs the least amount of improvement? This one’s a struggle honestly, not because I’m being mean to myself but because I just don’t…think about it? I don’t analyze the specific flaws and strengths of my own writing I don’t know. My go-to answer is usually grammar but that feels like cheating so, hmm…looking back at my doc I think I quite like how I put concepts like certain trans feelings and disability feelings into words. I always thought it would be hard to explain these things, and it is a bit, but I’m usually pretty happy with how I end up doing it :)

🥳 How are you going to celebrate when you achieve one of your writing goals? This is…another hard one LMAO because truthfully I don’t usually do any sort of major celebrations. So my answer for this is a bit unexciting but probably some combination of screaming in your DMs, eating chocolate/cookies, and/or buying something inexpensive but still ill-advised

hiii ✈️ & 🎧 pls!

hello! :)

✈️ favorite place you’ve traveled

i honestly haven’t travelled to a ton of places i don’t think? idk not that many compared to some people at least. but i really really enjoyed Hawaii! i feel sort of guilty about having gone there now that i know about the huge issues tourism is causing for native residents but i didn’t know at the time, and i wouldn’t have been able to stop my family anyways. ok im rambling a bit now lmao but i can’t think of another place i loved even close to that much, even with the weird guilt mixed in

🎧 last song you listened to

this oneee

"Free Lily." "Lily would never marry a man." Damn, sorry to break it to you, but she already did. Willingly. Because she loved him. And had a child with him. And died protecting the product of their love. But sure, go off.

i have chosen violence on reddit tonight & i feel great about it bc y’all are insane.

morning after the full moon ⏾

Remus’s body aches; Sirius takes care of him.

Happy birthday Moony! 🌙 (Sorry I’m a bit late)

OK, fandom, here’s a thing about Remus Lupin we don’t hear nearly enough about: sometimes, being a werewolf wasn’t an unrelenting cycle of angst.  Sure there was a lot of suckage, but sometimes there was fun.

‘And they didn’t desert me at all.  Instead they did something for me that would make my transformations not only bearable, but the best times of my life.  They became Animagi.’

(Chapter 19, The Servant of Lord Voldemort, PoA.)

Where are you all hiding the fic and arts when teenage Remus gets to actually enjoy some full moon high-jinks?  There’s more misery and moping around the hospital wing than you can shake a stick at and, I get that, I really do, we all love a bit of h/c, we hurt the ones we love the most and all that malarkey.  But surely there’s room for more?  The roaming the school grounds, running about the Forest, wild animal adventures?  Most times there’s not much willingness to even admit that Remus ever had any fun, instead just a grudging acceptance that his Animagi friends made full moon a bit less bad, maybe even tolerable.  but Remus very clearly says otherwise.  To repeat:

‘The best times of my life.’

Look, it’s not like Remus didn’t have enough misery, can we not let the poor bastard enjoy the one bit of fun canon gives him?  Oh, and while we’re on the subject, he goes on:

‘And there were near misses, many of them.  We laughed about them afterwards.’

Think about that for a minute.  Remus came close to attacking people during the full moon on multiple occasions, but far from being consumed with self-loathing and regret, managed to laugh about it afterwards.  I mean, he had a bit of a conscience about it, but:

‘I always managed to forget my guilty feelings every time we sat down to plan our next month’s adventure.’

Sure, he knew what he was doing was dangerous, and sometimes he felt a bit bad about it.  But it didn’t stop him doing it, didn’t stop him laughing off the dangers, didn’t stop him regarding the full moon as an “adventure.” 

There will always be fans of long-suffering Remus and, hey, knock yourselves out if that’s fun for you.  But, oh, what I wouldn’t give for a little more of canon Remus who is no sort of soft doughy cinnamon roll but is a bit of a thrill-seeker, not entirely honest, and definitely capable of having fun.  

Don’t @ me unless you’ve got recs or are up for planning next month’s adventure.
