Hi yes can any hp fans who are trans friendly and anti jkr give me advice on how to deal with the insane hate us hp fans get on here for simply just being fans of hp..you know the posts and type of comments I mean. I have moral ocd and it makes me feel like the worst person ever 🙃
i don't really think i have a right answer for this, honestly. When you still like hp and interact with it you have to come to terms with the fact that you are adding to the general harm jkr is causing, because whenever you talk about it, even when it is in the context of fandom, you give her attention and might consequently make more people join the fandom who don't yet know about what a terrible person she is and therefore don't have the same understanding that you cannot profit her in any way whatsoever. No buying merch, no streaming the films, no going to the studios, no seeing cursed child, no watching the reboot. I used to think that we're at a point of saturation where everyone already knows about harry potter anyway so me talking about it won't give her more attention, but the fact alone that i've had a couple comments telling me that one of my fics was the introduction to the fandom for them tells me differently.
My general approach is that i make everything about my fandom interaction as easy to block out for other people as possible. On tumblr this means every time i mention any harry potter related things i tag it 'hp', if it mentions jkr i also tag her, so people can easily blacklist these tags if they want to avoid seeing the content at all. I've made new social media accounts to talk about hp because i didn't want to subject my friends, many of whom i know do not want to have anything to do with hp, to seeing anything about it. I don't talk about hp with non-fandom friends without heavily checking the vibe first and even then i attach a bunch of disclaimers to make absolutely certain they understand that i interact with this fandom as harm reducing as i can and very much do not support jkr, despite me myself being trans and that therefore probably being obvious.
You can be trans or be an ally and still like hp. Liking hp doesn't make you an inherently bad person. But you have to be aware that whenever someone looks at you and they see that you like hp, they don't have the knowledge that you are a safe person. Their first reaction will most likely be to assume that you support jkr and her views and are therefore not a safe person for queer people to be around. I myself have that same thought whenever I see people in public wearing harry potter merch. If you wear hp merch in public i will instantly mistrust you, despite very clearly also being in the fandom, because you're carrying hp outside of the confined space of a fandom in which people know not to support her.
You deal with the hate you get by acknowledging that these people have a reason for mistrusting and hating you, and by presenting yourself in a way that clarifies your stance regarding jkr while giving them the possibility to distance themselves from any mentions of her or harry potter. You deal with the hate by acknowledging that while initially it is not your guilt and not your harm, feeling some guilt over it is needed regardless, because you are, inadvertently, adding to the harm. You deal with the hate by supporting trans people, by informing yourself about what jkr is doing and what impact she has, by counteracting that impact as much as you can and by talking to people and raising awareness whenever you're able.
“Remus is done with Sirius’ antics.”
“Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius.”
Nooooo. No.
Remus loves Sirius’ antics. He loves it when Sirius is loud and when he demands the attention of everyone in the room. He loves when Sirius disrupts the class to annoy the teachers. Remus loves that Sirius is so obsessed with his hair, because honestly so is he. Remus loves listening to Sirius rant. He loves seeing Sirius run around the halls with James, causing trouble. Remus loves how Sirius’ eyes light up during a prank.
Remus loves how different the two of them are.
Remus doesn't love Sirius “despite his antics”. Remus loves Sirius period.
little spoon remus but he sort of just suffocates himself in sirius' chest while he strokes remus' hair

Just a quick sketch because I desperately needed this ❤️
One thing about Remus Lupin is that he will PINE.

@madefortherain thanks for the tag love!
here’s a bit of lotf ch 4! getting a bit more into remus’s disability this chapter (:
It’s a bit embarrassing how well she knows him and his flare-ups by now—the kind of knowledge that only comes from seeing him at his lowest time and time again, helping him through it time and time again. But stronger than the shame is the warm glow of being loved, the reminder of how many times he’s crashed serving equally as a reminder that she’s stayed every single time. That through the passing phases of boyfriends and girlfriends and platonic friends, Lily is the one person who has never left his side.

secret type 3: both types 1 and 2 at different points
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
sometimes i need to remind myself that i'm writing fanfiction for free and i'm allowed to have a shitty sentence or two
Me when my condition flares.
Sirius: I am PUNK, I am SCARY, I am INTIMIDATING, I am a LETHAL WEAPON, I BOW TO N-
Remus: Yes, darling, I'm sure *grabs them by the neck and kisses*
Sirius: *melting* I am also pathetically in love..-
(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.
omg what’s this? a new chapter of love on the fly???

this chapter fought me every single step of the way and i’m very proud/relieved it’s finished HAHA
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.
Remus: I feel like I can be myself around you.
Sirius: You’re usually weird and quiet around me.
Remus: Yes.
“sirius would be the talker and remus would be the listener”
in public yes
in private, when remus was comfortable, he would talk to sirius for hours. about his books, or something he saw in the halls, or just anything, and sirius would sit there, just staring at the way remus smiles and how he talks with his hands, absolutely smitten

I think a lot of what makes fanfiction so magical is writers taking the time to explore tiny elements that were imagined into existence in the source material and then abandoned. It's the deep dive into that t-shirt, the forgotten gift, the nickname, the spare key, the anger they swallowed down, the trauma they supressed, the love they denied, the story that wasn't mainstream enough to make it. It's the little things getting their moment to shine and I fucking love that and I will fight for it always.
"the over romanticization of death eaters has made the harry potter/marauders universe lose its charm," i say into the mic.
the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when multiple voices speak and command silence from the room.
"she's right," they say. i look for the owners of the voices. there in the 5th row stands: literally every character who is inherently good but overlooked by the fandom.
remus does not now how to exist in groups (before the marauders at least) and ends up following them across the whole school even though he was supposed to turn 10 minutes ago but he didn’t know how to interrupt them to say bye and he didn’t want to just disappear in fear of coming across as rude so he stayed silent and kept following
remus lupin is wild unkept curls, crooked diy hair cuts, chapped teeth, a big hooked nose, picked at finger nails, freckles and exzema, acne scars, deep cuts, big brown eyes with long lashes, an almost too big mouth, constant pout, furrowed bushy brows, pale on naturally tan skin, visible bones and too long limbs, stretched out and tall, bumping his head on door frames, ink spills on his lips from biting his pen, scoliosis, loose belts with diy holes, leather books bags that cut into his shoulders and make him walk askew, hoarse voice and a sputtering laugh, bad hearing because he puts his music on too high volume, picks at his scabs and scars, mismatched socks, falling apart trainers, wide shoulders but skinny arms and torso, hunched posture and walk, resting bitch/disinterested face, low appetite but extremely sweet tooth, manual labor skills, book worm and reading glasses, annotated books with broken spines, rjl written into the covers.
The boys! In like. 6th or 7th year, why not.
First time drawing peter too! sorry if its a little funky, this was really difficult lol.
