thank you to @rae-lune for the tag <33 so happy i have something to share this time! here’s some more platonic moonflower from lotf ch 4! they’ve honestly taken over the chapter a bit and i have no control over it 😌
“God, Lily, why do you let me do these things?!” Remus wails, flopping down on the bed so his face is squished into the pillow.
A giggle comes from his phone. “I don't have any control over you, Remus. You did this yourself,” Lily says.
“That's not true! You know you do!” he whines. “You encouraged me to flirt with him!”
Lily sighs. “Yes, well, I didn't think you were going to have a great big panic about it.”
“That's not true either,” Remus complains, exaggerating the pout already present on his face. Never mind that she can't see it through the phone; she'll know it's there. “If you don't know me better than that by now that's entirely your fault.” He finishes strong by sticking out his tongue.
She sighs again, and Remus begins to feel rather offended. What has he done that's worthy of two sighs?

it’s december first and the christmas vibes have stolen me already im obsessively writing a remus/sirius fic with trans remus
You all need to hear this:
1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and
2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft... who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.
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.
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).
Happy birthday, Remus :3
Fanfic is a free hobby.
It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.
Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.
You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.
You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.
Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?
Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?
I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.
Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.
Please don't ruin this for us.
Some of us need it.
sometimes nifty characters come from lousy media, but they still deserve a loving home! and that's where fanfic comes in
