Friendly reminder that AO3 is fighting AI data scrapers on behalf of all fanfic writers!
According to the post below, AO3 issued a DMCA takedown after finding out that all works before March 2025 were scraped and uploaded as a dataset to potentially train AI. The ability to take legal action against scum like this is the direct result of people donating to AO3 so they can keep functioning and they don't pocket any of it because they are a non-profit organization.
So when you see the AO3 donation drives, please remember that this is what the money is going toward and support it when you can!
hey so those of y’all in the marauders fandom who are saying you’ll watch if ben barnes plays sirius and andrew garfield plays remus… better take those anti-JKR disclaimers out of your bios!
Sleepy Sundays
Wolfstar Uni AU but Remus had to extend a year in uni because he had a chronic illness and (despite what this capitalistic society wants us to believe) keeping up with uni + falling ill once a month wasn't bearable anymore so he had to do a big mental work and stop being a perfectionist. And by that time he met Sirius in Uni and began a cute friendship where the posh punk guy dropped him to all his doctors appointment so Remus could gain some free time to go on actual dates with him (a perfect plan in Sirius's mind).
Sirius: Moony, if you had to describe me in one word, what would it be?
Remus: Annoying.
Sirius: Okay, rude. Try again.
Remus: Infuriating. Ridiculous
Sirius, pouting: Moony—
Remus, kissing the tip of his nose: Fine. Mine.
Sirius, immediately flustered: Oh.
so hopefully what we all learn from JK Rowling starting to go after asexual people is that when we bully or exclude queer people in our own communities we make this discourse popular enough for it to eventually spread to homophobes, right?
This is not the first time I've heard people outside the community parroting Ace Discourse talking points either. One of my sister's friend's parents believed that it was a form of social contagion when her son came out as asexual. She said very similar things to people online that I've seen. My mom had to talk her down and discuss it with her, but yeah.
Ace Discourse breached containment a few years ago. They have some of these talking points because of acephobes on this website starting discourse and invalidating peoples' asexuality. When a transphobe as notorious as her starts parroting these points, please know that you fucked up.
When you make fun of poly people or people with neopronouns you're making it more likely for homophobes and transphobes outside our community to spread hate and violence against small, vulnerable communities. I don't care if you think it's cringe or a phase or whatever, don't give homophobes ammo and stand with other queer people, even ones you don't understand/don't like/don't agree with.
why would you stop when he’s so cute!!! look at him!! 💞💓💓💘💞💕💞💝
I need to stop drawing him. He’s most of my page. I just can’t stop the demons and the demons want Remus Lupin. All. The. Time.
Sirius: Hey, moons, I’m sorry, I won’t make it to our date tomorrow. Remus, sighing: Detention? Sirius: Detention… Remus: Gotcha, I’ll be right back. *a few moments later* *loud crashing sounds* Sirius, to Peter: what the fuck was that? Peter: I dunno, man. Remus, arriving: Well, it looks like I also got detention tomorrow. Date still on? Sirius: *heart eyes*
the intimacy of sleeping together, but not in a sexual way. the intimacy of feeling the warmth of their body in a cool room. their hands hugging you tightly. the intimacy of synchronized breathing. sleepy half-kisses. feeling safe. feeling warm. waking up and realizing how much you love them. how precious this is. finding the happiness on the tip of your fingers, brushing their hair. closing your eyes again. pulling closer. falling asleep.
never really talked about it here but i took a sort of long break from writing lotf recently, but i’m finally back to writing it! been working on it on and off over the last week or two, and chapter four’s slowly coming along. it’s about halfway written i’d say? and i broke 20k total a few days ago
ALSO TODAYS MY LAST DAY OF FINALS!!! i have one exam and then i am FREEEEE!!!!!!
anyways all this to say that another update will be coming soon-ish, hopefully?! i always hesitate to give dates in case something changes but i’d like to say within the next two weeks. by the end of may at the very latest. (but this is not a guarantee)
