why are people so scared of character being aromantic. like why does everyone have to end up with someone why can't someone literally just not feel romantically abt anybody bcuz they can't OR!!! don't want to??? and it's not about 'finding the right person' cuz it was cute or wtv the first five times but you're telling me that no matter what there is no way this character... doesnt end up 'alone'? why do you just consider people incomplete, a lone part??
its poetic or whatever but also just really.... excessive. like ur saying to me the only way this character who is commonly dumbed down to gay slut who falls in love easily n is a (h/b)imbo is if everyone dies... yeah okay. if you say so....
"Regulus has the more gorgeous curls ever!" AND YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
becsuse.
for the longest time he just left his hair slicked back or combed over. (yes im pushing my choir boy reg agenda WHAT ABT IT) like he didnt even know he had curls till he was too lazy to comb it over one lazy morning and all of a sudden his head was a frizzy curled mess. (picture a horrible perm) he didnt even know until a slytherin first year who was jumping through hoops for his favor offered to teach him a bird repelling spell. after asking why, he was horrified and the first year apologized.
He tried potions and spells and chants and stones yet nothing seemed to help calm his hair... and he couldn't very well ask Sirius for help since his hair was much less coiled than Regulus's. After about a month of tireless effect (anger filled quidditch practices when he cursed every great wizard for keeping the one muggle custom of hating anything that isn't straight) he finally caved and called in reinforcements.
You know where I'm going with this, right?
HE CALLED LILY, JAMES AND REMUS!
Listening carefully, while James nodded without actually listening (occasionally saying things like 'mhm mhm yes sir you make a fine point.' to impress or bother lily enough that she'll like him ...she'll never admit it but she giggled a little internally) operation make 'regulus handsome again!' was forced in motion.
James tried a natural salve that his dad made that 'enhanced your roots and made your strands shine!' It sort of worked, except they found out that Regulus is allergic to unicorn horn dust and sapflowers.
Lily tried massaging oils that she'd seen her mom use occasionally (and Mrs Evans had the prettiest curls ever!) but it weighed down the strands too much since she applied enough for three people so regulus kind of just looked like Snape. (After regulus saw his reflection, he looked like he'd braved a fight with a dementor)
Remus, who'd been the last one to try anything, and who did the least for his curls (yet they still looking impeccable! fking lupin genes 😒) decided to lend Regulus some of his self made soaps and conditioners that never really worked for him. Regulus did, reluctantly, and found that the frizz was almost gone, and that it smelled very reminiscent of citrus and eucalyptus. In fact, they looked so good that not only did lily ask for the recipe and James berated Remus for never hooking him up with his idiotic talent for accidentally making things that work wonderfully, he was able to convince his mother to left him open his own gringotts vault (of which he planned to use to finally rid his surroundings of those horrid walls of horrid memories.) the end!!!!!! Idk when I wanted this to go but it went somewhere I think
for Valentine's Day james surprised lily with a huuugggeee bouquet of lilies of the valley not knowing hes allergic to them (and that they're poisonous but he's not eating them). so now he's just all puffy and pouty and lily is insisting that she'd still like him even if he was a puffy swollen allergy-ridden blob for the rest of their lives.
remus thinks it's HILARIOUS and sincerely believes that he'd never be so drunk in love to do something like that. and then his bf walks in and remus accidentally spills ink all over his white dress shirt and is just holding back tears.
peter n benjy + third wheel Marlene r jus chilling on the side watching everything go wrong for all the happy couples. not even in a mean way Peter just likes seeing other people stumble around their partners as much as he does around benjy. And Marlene just likes watching people suffer light-heartedly.
Happy valentines! These r mediocre but I DONT CARE
open ended Remus bf bcuz I ship him w too many people and I've been talking abt moonwater too much ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
unpopular opinion below!!! U were warned! (talk of drugs!!! implied? rosekiller + moonwater + limes n platonic!moonflower {they so cute tho lowk my guilty pleasure ship})
I LOVE no voldy!Remus who's just a silly little guy
he doesn't think about what he's saying and he's kind of judgemental but his loyalty has no end, I guess without voldy the hardest test it faces is James and Sirius fighting about their favourite quidditch team.
I do believe in stoner Remus!! But I don't like cigarette smoker Remus because I feel like he's too worried about the full moon to worry about feeling his lungs burning and having to take the time to shakily roll cigarettes... and he hates the smell.
stoner! Rem who's just really clingy when he's high. Is one of his friends sitting next to him? He's pulling them into his lap and burying his head into their neck just to feel their warmth.
he does it with Lily too even after she and James get together- James truly doesn't mind because he loves being cuddled by Remus too. It's not an excuse for Remus to be romantically close to any of them by any means- he doesn't discriminate from Peter to Evan (Barty doesn't like to be held or hold someone other than by the hand so he's cool with it... for the most part) and Marlene to Dorcas, all that matters is their friendship and warmth.
if he had to choose a favourite though, regulus or Lily easily. He loves how they always have a soft smell to them, lily of hibiscus and regulus of different types of weed. Least favourites? Probably Sirius and Evan because they usually reek of cigarettes and because Sirius always moves too frequently to truly be comfortable for Remus so he usually just shoves him off and searches for someone else with heavy-lidded eyes.
dude I have horrible moonwater brain rot right now like it's not even funny
imagine rem just singing 'and I love her' by the Beatles to reg one lazy morning while they made little toffees and cookies for Harry and Teddy's joint birthday party (they have separate ones just about them too of course, but lily wants them to be super close so they have another in the month between of both their birthdays) and he's smiling like an idiot while reg smacks him with the spatula
i feel like rem would be just an absolute dork and serenade his partner every time a Beatles, Frank Sinatra, or such song would come on if there wasn't the war n stuff. Is that controversial? Idk I don't like big tough bad boy rem I LOVE nerdy loser hopeless romantic mama's boy(lovingly) rem who plants flowers and has anger issues and wears his mom's peony apron and sleeps like a sick Victorian child or like he just went through a hurricane (no in between) and had a big fat crush on John (Meg's husband) when he read little women and hates coffee stain rings and for some reason is oddly good at pottery
IS THIS LAME? I feel like its lame but honestly I don't care bcuz he's my lame little princess and I love him
This is just me rambling tbh
moonwater is so fucking cute I hate them so glad they're dead
LIKE imagine these both very intimidating men, one who looks like he goes to duels for fun, the other who looks like he's plotting ur death every second hes looking at you, just sliding little love notes to eachother that they giggle and blush and kick their feet over.
Like no one would believe u if you said that they were doing this with no proof, but now it's a well known fact that the table next to the window with a perfect view of the forbidden forest IS the lovers table! They even carved their initials (r.j.l + r.a.b) Which starts a rumor that's passed down to the 1st years which leads to people starting their own relationships by carving their initials in, which has since then been secretly charmed to vanish the carvings of couples who've been separated for any reason.
{extra tidbit but when rem comes back to hogwarts, suddenly people are shocked when the initials r.a.b turn into r.a.l and think it's a sign that he's come back to punish them for ruining their table (he thinks it's so funny and really sweet and even takes a picture with Colin's camera to show regulus)}
this isn't very coherent but I DONT CARE I love my silly little book loving lovers
might add this to the fic but probably not
why do so many super-sub reader fics pop up on my dash please ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ the writing is always amazing but it's also so unimmersive with borderline (IF NOT ACTUAL) abuse and constant fetishisation on bb/lg like it's so gross why are you describing reader like a CHILD and why is she calling the guy you just described in a hyper masculine way 'DADDY' like
everyone's into something someone else may not be but when its actually disgusting the way some of them write shit that caters to borderline pedophiles jus sayin
super duper random but I think the reason I'm not really head over heels for Sirius or super big on wolfstar like everyone else is because I kinda see him as aromatic. I don't think he's aroace, just aro. Or maybe at least on the arospec. His family was the first thing he knew, the first thing he loved, and he's traumatised from the shit he saw, had done to him, and was forced to do. I feel like that just really messed up his perception of love.
ABSOLUTELY NO HATE ON WOLFSTAR. They still hold my heart in their silly little clawed hands. But like. Idk.
I think another thing that kinda peeves me is the way that Sirius is portrayed as kind of.. emotionally dull. Like he's either too sexualised, or just really emotionally hurtful (I feel like abusive is too strong of a word) towards Remus and the people around him. He's about the only character we have a set personality on. He's used to the floodgate of emotions he feels, he's probably more emotionally aware than Lily even. He's childish, and quick to anger in the books, but after years of having your worst and lowest moments replayed over and over again while your teeth ache and rot, I think he's got a right to be. In school, he was better. Though still bad from the ongoing abuse from his parents.
I don't think he was unfixable, I think he just took a lot of time to heal from everything. He's able to form platonic relationships, of course, but he doesn't really have any desire for anything romantic. He used to think something was wrong with him and tried to force himself to do what everyone else was doing, dating and stuff, but he just never clicked with it. He can love, he isn't like incapable of it, but it's just not romantic. I think he's his own person who doesn't need a relationship to make his world round once more, I think he'd much rather have plenty of people around with whom he's formed bonds with that'll last long past his death. That's because he doesn't like doing one thing for too long, and because he feels like the idea of having to love someone is too specific for it to be for him.
I think even after Azkaban he feels this way, maybe even more so, but he's more appreciative of the people around him. Just a little ramble
