Remus: Yeah, I’ve Decided I’m Un-diagnosing Myself. I’m Fine Now.

“me time” and it’s just lay in bed reading fanfiction for hours

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.

sunday someday snippet 👀

bc i am super late to this and it is wednesday now oops. thanks @barkingatthemooninsteadofwriting and @madefortherain for the tag! loved your snippets <3

here is a third snippet from lotf ch 4 because yes, i am still working on that same chapter 😭 in my defense i’m working on another fic (with a deadline!) at the same time!!

Remus chooses to believe that he is simply growing as a person and learning to challenge his anxiety instead of letting it hold him back, rather than it having anything to do with how intense his feelings for Sirius are. Because they aren't. Intense. They're just...feelings. Regular feelings. The exact normal amount of feelings that should be expected on the way to a second date.

open tag bc i’ve tagged so many people in so many things recently. would love to see anyone’s snippets! <3

aroace sirius black is SO dear to me

look he knows he’s hot, but he doesn’t have to do anything about it? let everyone shamelessly throw themselves at his feet without him reciprocating!!

do you know of any wolfstarbucks fics that start out with moonchaser? 👀 I feel like they have a lot of potential

omg this is a GOOD QUESTION and i agree it would be interesting! unfortunately i can’t think of any? i feel like it’s always wolfstar or prongsfoot if there’s an established couple.

i do have a wip on my tbr, silly me (to fall in love with you) by jeonkaktus, which looks like remus and james get together first but i obviously can’t say for sure since i haven’t read it. it’s a soulmates au where remus and james are each other’s soulmates but they don’t know that they’re both sirius’s soulmates as well. the summary sounds like remus and james will get together first! maybe i’ll read it soon 👀

✨ this or that ✨
