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).
why's it so hard to find polyamorous fluff but so easy to find monogamous fluff? what i'm saying is why does every poly ship fic have smut? you can probably tell what im implying
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.
this is also why yes, Remus Lupin is canonically disabled (i don’t give a fuck if he only uses a cane in the movies, someone not using a mobility aid doesn’t make them nondisabled?? that’s such a ridiculous argument, plus just because harry didn’t mention him using a cane in the small amount of time he saw remus doesn’t mean he literally never touched a mobility aid. not to mention the movies are part of canon) and yes, it is ableist and really shitty to erase that and write him as able bodied. and this is why he will always always always be queer AND disabled in anything i write or draw.
I think some of y’all missed several days in queer history class so I’m just gonna put this as simply as I can:
If we accept the fact that lycanthropy is an AIDS metaphor (JKR has said she intended it as such so idk what to tell you), then it’s actually NOT queerphobic to extrapolate from that that Remus should be read as queer. I would argue that it’s more of an issue to read him any other way.
I know some of y’all like to make a big fuss about how it’s problematic because AIDS isn’t a gay disease. Babes, idk how to tell you this, but in the historical context in which Harry Potter was written, in the real fucking world during the AIDS crisis, for all intents and purposes, yes it was.
The powers that be in the US and UK governments knowingly and intentionally let the AIDS crisis get as bad as it did because of their belief that it was a gay disease. Were they correct? Did it ONLY kill gay men? No. But did it disproportionately affect gay men? Yes. Did we lose MASSIVE numbers of gay men during the 80’s and 90’s because the government was letting them die on fucking purpose? Baby, yes we did.
And to erase that from a text which is ostensibly a metaphor for that disease is to erase the violence enacted upon that specific population. They died quietly, and without fanfare, and so you have been allowed to forget that their deaths were targeted. They were targeted with inaction on a deadly disease and they were targeted because they were gay. It doesn’t matter if you like it. In the 80’s and 90’s, when the lycanthropy metaphor was written, when the books take place, AIDS was a gay disease.
Further, in that context, it only makes sense to read Remus as queer. The “one good werewolf” in this lycanthropy=AIDS=queerness simply cannot be read as straight.
sirius saw remus was in his lighter coloured sweater today, and when he told him he liked it, remus smiled and said he wore it because the weather has been nice lately and the sun was so bright today he wanted to match it :) and sirius wanted to die because remus is so cute to him that he must collapse and die
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.
filthy rich wizard sirius asks uni student remus who part-times at his parents' cafe (he doesn't know he's a wizard too yet) out to dinner, suggesting michelin star restaurants but remus says no we're actually going to the family-owned chinese place down the street where water and utensils are self-service. best date of sirius' life.
(image description: a three panel drawing with very simple sketched lines and only a little quick coloration. it depicts a woman sitting at a desk, with a computer keyboard, musing aloud; "sometimes I wish my creative works would just make themselves...", after which she is startled by the arrival of a stick figure with a square head labeled "generative AI," which replies; "I can do that." the final panel is the only one with detailed color and lighting, showing the artist whipping out a pencil-shaped laser gun and exploding the AI entity. end description.)
had a conversation in a writing server, decided to make a meme about it.
Me when my condition flares.
I feel like after a 🌕, Remus would think one word only - 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳. But then, little by little he would wake to the sound of Sirius’ voice, and that word would change into 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘺, and he’d know he’s safe and there is someone who loves him, broken pieces and all.
In other words: Remus.
