Sirius: I am PUNK, I am SCARY, I am INTIMIDATING, I am a LETHAL WEAPON, I BOW TO N-
Remus: Yes, darling, I'm sure *grabs them by the neck and kisses*
Sirius: *melting* I am also pathetically in love..-
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.
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)
My followers know I hate talking about politics and current events, and generally refuse to do so, but this is important.
A bill has been introduced in the US that would make all pornography a federal crime. Owning it. Creating it. Distributing it.
Under this law, fanart of nude characters would be a federal crime.
Under this law, depictions of homosexuality or simply being transgender, would be considered pornography and a federal crime.
This bill is not going to pass.
However, the reason for this bill is to continue to push the "overton window". The reason for this bill is to make banning pornography seem more and more normal to everyone until they can actually do that.
And remember, they consider depictions of gay characters and transgenders characters "pornography" in any context, including platonic.
They have been working on this for a decade now and it has been working.
If you are one of the people in fandom who thinks that "nasty" porn on AO3 should be banned because it's "icky" or "immoral", then this mental scam is working on you.
Censorship is never about protecting people.
Censorship is always about control.
Do not let the rising moral panic affect your mind and make you weak to propaganda that lets others control you and control what you watch and read.
Do not fall for the scam.
When they say they are going to ban "pornography" it means they're going to ban anything they don't like by calling it "pornography" and they don't like you!!
Whilst we're talking about the new HP show and the authors evident involvement, it's important to remember that the marketing team and likely others will know that Wolfstar and Drarry are the most popular aspects of this fandom.
They'll probably know about All the Young Dudes [David Thewlis and Andrew Garfield have been asked about it in random interviews, so any marketing team capable of basic research will know about it]. They will know that there is an entire community surrounding the Marauders (because there has been for like 20 years, it's not new)
And this information can be used in marketing. The focus has been so much on the author won't make them Canon (true), people are missing that that's not the only way to manipulate an audience into watching.
And it really wouldn't take much.
Just the idea of casting Andrew Garfield, or Ben Barnes posting a filter, or Aaron Taylor Johnson introducing the pet shop boys cover of All The Young Dudes has people who previously had "fuck jkr" in their bio foaming at the mouth for the show. It's already working without them having to do anything
They might queer bait, they might not. But the thing with queer baiting is
you can choose not to bite.
what i love most about wolfstar is how absolutely gone they both are for each other—and neither of them realizes it. like, sirius looks at the world through a keyhole shaped like remus. he thinks remus is the most beautiful, the funniest, the smartest person on the planet, and he’s convinced that only he truly understands remus’ nature. to him, remus is distant, a little too reserved sometimes, and he has no idea that remus walks around every day with an arrow through his heart, staring at sirius and giggling into his pillow at night.
and remus? he looks at the world through a keyhole shaped like sirius. to him, sirius is this celestial being with an overwhelming, magnetic spirit that’s impossible to resist. he thinks sirius is too nonchalant, too effortlessly charming with everyone—not knowing that sirius, if you looked closely, literally has heart eyes and is trying every single day to impress remus and keep his attention
i mean. they’re both head over heels. they don’t care about anything else. and they’re both stupidly convinced it would take some kind of divine miracle for the other to notice them (all of their friends are banging their heads against the wall because these two idiots clearly only have eyes for each other but are also blind as bats).
I challenged myself to paint at least(!) one Sirius Black art a month this year, so here is the April painting! And as I haven’t had much time in April, I made a more detailed artwork :') Well, but it was a lot of fun! I also added a close up because I really like his face in this one :)
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.)
I hate having banger fanfic ideas. What do you expect me to do? Write them down????????????
Sirius, winking at Remus: Remus, dropping his books: Peter: "Moony, you good?" Remus: "no. i'm deceased. tell my story."
