Fanfiction Is So Silly. I Am Playing With My Dolls And People Are Coming Over To Watch. Some Of Them

Chapter 2 of Becoming Remus this Christmas, my trans and disabled Remus-centric fic, is up now! And it’s almost twice as long as the previous one

why is half of fandom culture rn just hate. like everyone’s either talking shit about each other or posting content promoting hate for hc. i’m so sick of the only marauders content im seeing be “what ur least favorite ship” or “what a hc you really hate” or the worst one of all “what a popular fic you really hate”. i’m actually so lost on when we started to allow this to be acceptable fandom etiquette. you guys do realize fanfic is free right? meaning none of these authors owe you anything. the best way i’ve seen it put is “this is content that is shared with you not made for you” by messrsrobyn on tiktok. meaning take a step back remember that this is supposed to be for fun, and sharing opinions and promoting hate are 2 very different things.

Reblog if you are a fanfiction author and would like your readers to put one of your fic titles in your ask + questions about it

HIIIIIII I saw your nonsexual wolfstarbucks headcanons and i was wondering if you had anymore???? It's okay if not but if you do i would LOVE them.

The only ones I can find are extremlely like sexualised which is fine but sometimes I just need a little bit of fluff cos yeah.

Have the best day <33333

omg HELLO this is such an exciting ask, ty for sending it!! i alwaysss have more wolfstarbucks thoughts so here’s some more i can think of rn!

in a situation where prongsfoot are dating and both want remus i think it’s very much just flirting with him really unsubtly, getting increasingly obvious as he continues to be oblivious. and normally remus would be really uncomfortable with his best friend who is dating his other best friend flirting with him! i’ve seen fics where they jointly decide they want remus and start flirting with him separately and personally i can’t see it. rem would be sooo uncomfortable and feel so guilty. but in my mind S & J decide to do it together. like they’re not flirting with him if they’re not both there. they’re cuddled up on the sofa with a movie when remus gets home from a late shift (or prefect rounds), and they invite him to cuddle (they even put him in the middle). he gets a new really well-fitting shirt and james tells him how good he looks while sirius is leaning on J’s shoulder, smiling and nodding. sirius offers him a massage when his joints/muscles are aching and remus is a bit hesitant but james is right there and seems fine with it?? they end up both helping tbh. sirius’s hands get tired bc literally remus’s entire body hurts so he’s like “james? you mind?” and james finishes up. anyways yeah both of them just flirting and taking care of him and being really affectionate but clearly doing it together so rem isn’t uncomfortable so much as obliviously confused. (he decides they’re just worried about him being lonely bc he’s been single for a long time and now S & J are dating so they’re trying to make sure he feels loved)

in a situation where none of them are dating before though, i think it either starts out as remus and his two boyfriends who are not dating each other (and then fall for each other) OR all three of them deciding to date each other at once, getting together neatly as a throuple. and either way in these scenarios i think remus would have a hard time adjusting to having two boyfriends. im picturing like, him being super anxious about going on a date or being physically affectionate with one of them while the other isn’t there. he kisses S or J once and the other walks in and he’s like,,acting like he got caught cheating basically and they’re like “babe. remus. please, calm down. did you forget we all agreed to this????” (he didn’t forget, he’s just nervous. he wants everything to be equal and them to know he loves them both the same and all that. they’re like “please calm down baby we know that, we don’t have to count dates and kisses though.”)

remus has like 3 stuffed animals that live on his bed at all times and gives them each a goodnight kiss every night and the first night they all spend together he’s embarrassed so he’s not gonna do it but he does end up doing it just out of habit/reflex and then he turns bright red and is sooo embarrassed but his bfs obviously find it extremely cute (and they obviously also demand goodnight kisses every night they’re together but that’s irrelevant to the stuffies)

they honestly genuinely like really cliche romantic dates, like going out for a nice dinner and/or a movie, but they hate that they’re never perceived as being in a romantic relationship since there’s three of them. when people make assumptions remus gets kinda flustered and doesn’t rly say anything, just complete silence, james sort of awkwardly fumbles out some sort of polite agreement without really directly agreeing, and sirius corrects them loudly and proudly, which embarrasses remus but he also loves it

they’ve made a lot of clumsy attempts at slow dancing around the dorm/apartment/wherever we’re imagining they live LMAO usually with remus squished in the middle, one of the others in front and the other behind him, it’s kind of just like a double hug really—remus hugs whoever’s in front of him and the other person just plasters themself to his back too. anyways it looks a bit silly but they’ve actually gotten the hang of all the feet and limbs and can do it without falling over now!

i saw a post somewhere and i cannot remember who or what platform but it was R & J braiding Sirius’s hair together, one on each side, and silently competing to make them neater and y e s i concur

when remus is upset and retreats into himself sirius just wants to baby him and let him do it and just give him cuddles and chocolate like “it’s okay baby you don’t have to talk about it” so james has to be the sensible one and gently coax remus into opening up a bit.

when sirius is upset and starts lashing out james just wants to snap back at him, and remus has to shut up his desire to hide away and be the sensible one to show sirius a bit of love and be patient.

when james is upset and tries to make jokes out of it to cover it up remus wants to smack him a bit (even though he himself is even WORSE at talking about feelings) so sirius is the one who has to indulge his jokes for a bit before pressing him a little to be honest and sincere

if it’s rainy none of those babies are leaving their house absolutely not they will spend the entire day in a cuddle pile on the bed with blankets and pillows and hot chocolate and tv. any excuse to just stay in and cuddle their boyfriends

james leaves little encouraging notes everywhere for both of them—in remus’s notebooks, in sirius’s bike helmet, on their nightstands, etc. and so they start doing it back to him too. all three of them have sappy collections of notes from the others saved up

adding onto sirius always being the middle spoon, if R & J are sitting somewhere together and S walks in he is 100% shoving his ass right in between them. one time he came home and they were kissing on the couch and he ran right over and squished himself in between them and when they looked down at him like “wtf” he just looked up with a smile

they have matching necklaces. james has a moon and a star, sirius has a moon and a sun, remus has a star and a sun.

they all refuse to get married until they can legally have a three way marriage. they’re not going to leave one of them out like that wtf (even if remus insists he’d be okay if they got married. even if he wasn’t lying about it, which he is).

okay i think that’s all i have for now, i hope you enjoy :))

Me looking through AO3: ughhh I need to find a fic to read

My 62 open AO3 tabs: 👁️👄👁️

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.

peter betrayed lily, too!!! everyone talks about peter betraying the marauders and while, yes, they were friends for years and years, lily was their friend, too. she called him “wormy” and cared about him and trusted him enough to let him be responsible for her son’s life.

peter was lily’s second friend who joined the group that wanted her dead. and it’s so tragic because her death came because of these betrayals, too. snape was the one who told voldemort about the prophecy and then peter was the one who told him how to get to her.

Just some food for thought because I too have been seeing lots of posts about Remus being mean/not being mean, and my main thought is that there's a big difference between snapping at your friends when you're angry or tired or upset, and being degrading and verbally abusive!! I think 100% Remus could and probably would be snappy or sometimes a little unintentionally mean/maybe even intentionally mean when he's super tired or in pain or hurting. And yes, sometimes I think he could very well be capable of causing harm to his friends! But I do think he would feel really bad immediately, and would either apologize or avoid the person he was rude to for a bit out of guilt. I do not think remus is the type to be degrading and horrible to his friends—or to his partners—and then use his pain/exhaustion as an excuse. If anything, I think he would internally feel that the wolf makes him angry or mean, and that would outwardly cause him fight tooth and nail to be in control/not lash out at people
