people who think rjl would have really good grades have never been chronically ill and had to miss school consistently because of it. I'm sure he was smart! I'm sure he did really well on tests! but there has never been a character I'm more sure struggled to achieve the academic success that he was capable of.

Oooh. Pain au please 💙

ooh yes i was a bit nervous about this one.

this is very much still in the planning stages, i’ve written a little 150 word snippet but the rest is just brainstorming. basically the premise is remus has a fantasy version of fibromyalgia/tactile allodynia and anyone he touches experiences that pain too. i’ve done a lot of Thinking about this one—mapping my own pain onto remus, aligning his backstory in the fic with his canon backstory—and i am definitely going to write it. i’m not 100% sure if it will ever see the light of day though. it’s by far the most personal thing i’ve ever even considered writing, drawing really heavily from my own experience of those illnesses, so i’ll have to wait and see if i feel alright with sharing it publicly.

(and yes it will have wolfstar too haha it’s just a lot less fluffy than my others)

TransActual, a trans-led and trans-run organization in the UK, is looking for statements from UK residents on how the Supreme Court ruling has affected you and/or what you worry the implications will be. More information on their Instagram here, but they are accepting comments from not just trans people but also cis women who disagree with the ruling and/or cis women who do not meet white western beauty standards. This is a great thing to do that’ll take about five minutes—email them at policy@transactual.org.uk. They said they’ll be using statements “on our social media channels, in the press, with policy makers and in other parts of TransActual's work.”

I think a lot of what makes fanfiction so magical is writers taking the time to explore tiny elements that were imagined into existence in the source material and then abandoned. It's the deep dive into that t-shirt, the forgotten gift, the nickname, the spare key, the anger they swallowed down, the trauma they supressed, the love they denied, the story that wasn't mainstream enough to make it. It's the little things getting their moment to shine and I fucking love that and I will fight for it always.

No one owes artists anything.

But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.

hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

Sirius, slamming a piece of parchment in front of Remus: That’s it! Sign here, and first thing Monday, I’ll see you in court!

James, Lily, and everyone else, frozen in horror: WHAT?!

Remus, calmly shaking his head: He means at the marriage registry. Babe, that’s the worst way to tell our friends we’re getting married.

Everyone: YOU’RE ENGAGED?!

Sirius, smirking: Not after Monday I’m not. I’ll be married.
