if you try to insult james or sirius, remus is the first to defend them, even if they deserve it
lily: james and sirius can be so rude
remus: they've never been rude once in their life
sirius: she's litr right
remus: no
“We need more fucked up women characters” “we need more evil gay characters” oh but Ianthe Tridentarius is too much for you? A woman eats her cousin, puppets his corpse around like a meat bag, and sides with an all powerful god-emperor and suddenly she’s “wrong” and what she’s doing is “unforgivable”? God forbid women have hobbies.
I'm a Marauders era fan. MY take on what it should be
Sirius Black- is the tallest (Well over 6 foot), maybe one or two tattoos, black hair above his shoulders, doesn't simp over Remus and can easily do anything without him, one of the smartest in the school, hell of a dark humor, dark looks, VERY popular, has many flaws, but is still the best, prefers James over anyone, one of the hottest in the school, reckless
James Potter- not as tall as over 6 foot, like 5,10 or 5,11 (Like Harry), one of the smartest in the school, popular, not constantly asking Lily out or assaulting her
Remus Lupin- quiet, coward, tries to keep to himself, good at quidditch, but doesn't play, isn't the school's Casanova, not the hottest guy, a bit below average or such, not over 6 foot, not the smartest in the school (Like average or just above), doesn't swear like a sailor, doesn't have anger issues, isn't an asshole, not a tattoo type of guy
Peter Pettigrew- most likely more popular than Remus, is included, not hated by his friends, not a bitch to his friends, doesn't act like his adult self
Lily Evans- isn't Hermione 2.0, she does swear occasionally, is able to beat someone's ass, rightfully hates Snape and the other Slytherins or blood supremacists, strong, smart (Not as much as James and Sirius though
Regulus Black- not a twink, isn't a crybaby who constantly cries about Sirius (They probably threaten each other and use death threats until Pandora and James are like 'Oi, wtf'), tall, not as much as Sirius, but probably James' height and maybe taller
Walburga Black- doesn't use unforgivable curses on her kids, doesn't physically abuse them. I hope you guys know that emotion abuse exists. DOES spoil her kids, puts expectations on them, but does praise them about being the Black heir, she's the reason they're so bloody hot
The others aren't so bad (But they still have bad characterization)
The Slytherins are not softies. It was the 70's, LGBT wasn't s respected, though there could be a few gay kisses and other stuff. They don't have so many tattoos that it covers their whole body, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that there's pure bloods and they're still in Hogwarts. Sirius is TALL. He has dark humor, is capable of doing stuff himself, did NOT regret the prank.
The Prank- Sirius openly said (And to Remus) that Snape got what was coming to him for the prank, I bet there wasn't a whole angst thing where they ignored Sirius. James would NEVER do that. Remus was a coward; he probably forgave Sirius very easily (Though he couldn't trust him), they probably laughed about it in the dorms.
Wolfstar- It's one of the biggest ships. I don't ship it or see the appeal. Though I'm not going to hate or tell anyone to stop, but there's so much evidence that Remus and Sirius were toxic to each other (I'm going to say it all in a different post). Sirius and Remus can live without each other perfectly fine. It was James that Sirius couldn't live without. Though you guys can ship whatever you want (But please no pro-ships), but also. ATYD is NOT canon. The writing is brilliant, it must've taken a god long time, it's great. BUT. The characterization is completely off, the girls are barely there, even Snape is wrong (Still hate his guts though).
Also, I know SOME fans are going to come to my house with pitch forks. THOSE FANS, you can come and suck my nonexistent DIC- (I'm a woman). ALSO, I'm not homophobic for saying stuff about gay not being as active in the marauder's era, there were probably SOME, but I'm lesbian, so I can't be homophobic. And to THOSE fans, I know it's not real, but I don't have a life, and I like being a part of the marauder's era, but it's the characterization
Also, everyone says "Canon? What's canon", but the only reason the marauders era exists is because of canon. It's like me making Sirius a blonde, and I go "Canon? Never heard of her"

people who don’t have kids get dogs, and people who don’t have dogs get 25 plants which they name and talk to
listen, the “lottie isn’t callie/wilderness baby’s stepdad, shes the dad who stepped up” jokes are funny, but she’s really shown zero parental behaviour towards either of them. all she’s done is cross boundaries and enforce an uncomfortable amount of ownership over shauna’s kids. it’s creepy, and i’m afraid for callie.
shauna’s kids seem like her pet project, her sacrifice to the wilderness.
we see lottie constantly looking for a connection to the wilderness. first she was the yellowjacket’s guru, but once she lost that she looked to travis to reconvene with ‘It’. she tells him verbatim that she lost her ability to speak to It, and soon after forces him to take more psilocybin.
she was attached to wilderness baby because she deemed it important to the wilderness and needed to insert herself in that importance. when she ‘mourns’ the wilderness baby during the summer solstice celebration she makes it about herself and the wilderness religion. she’s thanking the baby for sacrificing itself for the girls, instead of having some sensitivity for shauna for losing her child.
callie, she’s decided, has ‘power’, and is “the most connected to the wilderness out of anyone who wasn’t actually a yellowjacket”. she’s using callie to get that connection back for herself.
james: does incest make people abnormally hot?
remus: i don't think so
regulus walking past:
james: yeah, you're right. sirius is an anomaly
lesbian dating pool be like “shes best friends with a girl you dated (who you’re also still friends with, because of course) but shes also not over her long-distance ex-situationship” and were just supposed to live in these conditions????
that quote honestly helped me immensely when my dog died a month ago
you can’t take loved away
the universe can take away someone, but it can’t can’t erase their existence. whats done is done.
I know I just made a post about it, but "You can't take loved away," fucks me up SO bad. Nona, who's known that she's dying for ages, facing the fact that regaining her memories is a form of dying that she hasn't prepared for. Nona, who isn't afraid of dying but is so, so scared of becoming someone who doesn't love Camilla, Palamedes, and Pyrrha. Nona, who is love - deep, vibrant, endless love, for the whole world but especially for her family. "I won't love anything... I won't know how."
And Paul. Paul, who's already done the thing Nona is afraid, or at least a version of it. Two people who Nona loved more than anything in the world died and became Paul, and Paul both is and isn't Camilla and Palamedes. Paul, who regardless of whether they are or aren't the people Nona loved, loves Nona. Paul tells her, "Camilla and Palamedes were loved by Nona. Pyrrha was loved by Nona. It's finished, it's done. You can't take loved away. We loved you too. Palamades and Camilla loved you."
And I'm just supposed to be okay after that.
