Thinking about wolfstarbucks roommates where James and Sirius build Remus a canopy bed, so he has a cozy little cave to hide in when he's having a bad day.
Sometimes he's alone in there when he really needs some space from it all but more than often he actually would like some company and then he will leave a trail of his socks leading to the bed so James and Sirius know they can come cuddle.
Nothing will turn me away faster from a fic/video/art than the mention that they used fucking chat gpt.
I don't fucking care if you "just" used it for ideas or to "polish" your writing because english is not your first language - I literally don't care. If you lack ideas then maybe rn is not the time to create but to experience to gain access to the creativity you obviously lack. If you can't write English well? Then learn it. Do it badly. Honestly, I'd rather read terrible grammar and spelling than ai crap.
Get a fucking grip, people.
just a very gentle reminder that there is no being "late" to fanfic! whether it's a work that's 1 week old, 1 month old, 1 year old, or even older, i can promise you that the writer is still just as happy to see you reading their work today as they would've been to see you 1 year ago or 5 years ago or whatever the timeline might be.
remus lupin with social anxiety who everytime his friends talk to someone else he just stands there like 🧍♂️
thank you to @moonysentropia for the tag!
this got long so answers below the cut if you want my rambles and oversharing lol
3 ships i like: Wolfstar obviously, Wolfstarbucks, and ummmmmm. hmm…tbh i’m not sure there is another? i really don’t ship characters that often 😭 (editing this to add prongsfoot! prongsfoot is cute on occasion! yes i clearly have very specific tastes)
first ship ever: the very earliest was probably percabeth? or hinny? idk. but i didn’t care super strongly about either (also i do Not ship hinny anymore HAHA at that age i very much just happily went along with any canon ships presented). the first ship i actually like read fics about and stuff was destiel i think. or drarry, not sure which was first. really exposing myself here 😭😭😭
favorite childhood book: suppose it depends how early we’re talking but other than HP i loved the Magic Treehouse series a lot! oh and Rainbow Magic omg
currently reading: fanfic wise, aka the more interesting part, I Didn’t Come Here to Party, I Only Came for the Cake by attheendoftheday. It’s a gbbo au with messy flawed sirius and mysterious remus (who’s also chronically ill!), very cute, sweet, lighthearted (so far, there’s some mental health stuff in the last few chapters). book wise, just a few books for classes - Gaming Sexism by Amanda Cote, Medieval Tastes by Massimo Montanari, and bits and pieces of others.
currently watching: nothing actually! just finished the babysitter’s club a few days ago so i am tv show-less now.
currently consuming: i just ate a bowl of granola bc cereal for lunch is superior
currently craving: sleeeeeep always 😭 or friendly company tbh.
pets: none!
np tagging @brandileigh2003 @madefortherain @outromoony (i think you all have not joined but i can’t recall so i’m sorry if you have already!)
double text me, annoy me, give me your attention. i love that shit.
“I either do one shots or 800k fics no in between” “700k is the average for me” “60k is a short fic for me lol” what if I kill you and then myself
if you haven’t read ddtk you are missing out
hi :3 may i…. may i offer you… new wolfstar fic?? *hides*
Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole snarky and sarcastic Remus lupin, but I feel like the marauders fandom has forgotten his most important trait: his kindness.
He was one of the kindest people harry had ever known, and he was probably the kindest teacher at Hogwarts.
I love sarcastic Remus, but he can be sarcastic and kind
periodical reminder that if you are in the marauders fandom, and you consider yourself anti-jkr + anti-transphobia, you cannot ethically engage with any form of official content, merch or ‘experiences’ (i.e studio tours etc).
any money that you spend on jkr’s IP could legitimately be used to fund transphobia through her donations to anti-trans charities.
you may consider yourself anti-transphobia, but by voting with the money in your pocket, you show where your true affiliations lie. you show whether or not you value your entertainment over trans lives.
supporting jkr in a ‘marauders way’ or an ‘atyd way’ means nothing when that money all just ends up in her pocket.
so please. you don’t need a reboot. you don’t need a marauders series. you don’t need that official hp merch.
there’s a whole world of free fan created content out there to explore. enough for a lifetime.
perhaps start there.
