My Beige Flag Is As Long As A Ship Isnt Illegal Or Heavily Immoral I Can Get Behind It

I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys

I don't take credit

New Year, New Prompt List!

well, sort of. last year, I started writing down the weird or funny shit people said around me and that I occasionally contributed to and turned it into a prompt list, and since it's a new year, I figured what better way to celebrate? you know the drill, send in a number and a ship/dynamic/character, or reblog this and have fun!

(btw this is college prompts pt. 3, second year fall semester edition. the first two lists from this series are here and here)

Remus and James Brotp?

omg-

i-

i’ve waited for this for so long

hyping each other up all the time

although remus is not a quiddich freak (take example james!) he goes to the pitch and cheers on him all the time

james sometimes does remus’ essays if he doesn’t feel good (mentally or because of the moon). he gets caught almost every time but it’s worth it

do their homework together

weirdos 💖

hold hands sometimes

when james is too caught in stuff (cough cough quiddich cough) he forgets to study and exams come and “oh shit i forgot to study”. remus takes advantage in this and that means? study dates!

since james is one of the kindest persons towards him he has the feeling he has to protect him

and blamed himself for james’ death because he couldn’t protect him

so talk shit about james and say good bye to your life

vice versa too

james does everything with so much enthusiasm and it always brings poor re a smile to his face

you know for sure remus has that type of period in which he still wonders why sirius is with him and “look at him james, and then look at me”

james is not taking this crap

“moony you bastard, you are amazing, smart and even despite everything you went through you’re so kind and that means a hell of a lot“

both are huge simps

remus wanted to get a tattoo for sirius and james came up with the idea (don’t ask me what is it because i didn’t settle on anything)

despite not being a romantic in his own relationship, like sirius, remus gives james advice for his own relationship

and so does james, because sirius is james’ brother and shipping prongsfoot is basically incest but let’s not get into depth and he knows what sirius likes

both are clothes thieves and steal from each other because their clothes pretty much suit each other mostly remus’ suit james

james was so excited to become an animagus

they made the research of the spells for the marauders’ map (sirius did the graphic and peter brought snacks, which is very important mind you)

sometimes they just leave for like,,, two hours,,, and don’t let anyone come with them and no one knows where they’re going (p.s- you’re not gonna know either 👀)

james brings tiny bits of confidence from remus and remus brings back james down on heart when he soars too high

Mistigris by Calypte on Ao3 acc has some sort of hold on me. This fic is amazing. Regulus? Amazing. Evan? Amazing. Barty? Amazing. James? Amazing. EVERYONE acc has like traits and a personality its amazing.

Tumblr wouldn’t let me add to the last one, so here we are

Ima firm believer that Peter, James and Marlene grew up together and act like siblings. Marlene is obviously the oldest, James is the middle child and Peter the youngest. And that Peter and Marlene team up to bully James on things like crushes. Or the Marlene is protective over Peter and James. And Peter and James gave Dorcas the shovel talk but Dorcas just nodded along amused cause she's heard all the embarrassing stories about these two from Marlene.

NASA released the clearest pictures yet of our neighbours in the solar system

Oh and of course us

Honourable mention

Remus doesn’t thinks he’s hot as fuck because he isn’t his own type. His type is pretty boys with light eyes and devilish grins. He is a giant with no coordination and a pension for grandpa sweaters. This is why he’s immediately attracted to Sirius. Even Regulus and Barty trip him up once in awhile. Remus Lupin has a fucking type, okay.

James, on the other hand, is attracted to personality and vibes. His type is mean, a nice smile, and long fingers. This is why he knows he’s fucking hot, because his vibes are immaculate. This is also why he’s had a crush on Sirius, Remus, Lily, Regulus, Dorcas, Frank, and Marlene.

They’re both messes.

A post for men about creepy men

I wrote a post a while back about how some people are very good at getting away with doing intentionally creepy things by passing themselves off as just ~awkward~.

Recently, I noticed a particular pattern that plays out. While creeps can be any gender, there’s a gendered pattern by which creepy men get other men to help them be creepy:

A guy runs over the boundaries of women constantly

He makes them very uncomfortable and creeped out

But he doesn’t do that to guys, and

He doesn’t talk to guys about it in an unambiguous way, and

When he does it in front of guys, he finds a way to make it look deniable

And then some women complain to a man, maybe even a man in charge who is supposed to be responsible for preventing abuse in a space

and he has no idea what they are talking about, since he’s never the target or witness

And he’s had a lot of pleasant interactions with that guy

So he sympathizes with him, and thinks he must mean well but be have trouble with social skills

And then takes no action to get him to stop or to protect women

And so the group stays a place that is safe for predatory men, but not for the women they target

For example:

Mary, Jill, and Susan: Bill, Bob’s been making all of us really uncomfortable. He’s been sitting way too close, making innuendo after everything we say, and making excuses to touch us.

Bill: Wow, I’m surprised to hear that. Bob’s a nice guy, but he’s a little awkward. I’m sure he doesn’t mean anything by it. I’m not comfortable accusing him of something so serious from my position of authority.

What went wrong here?

Bill assumed that, if Bob was actually doing something wrong, he would have noticed.

Bill didn’t think he needed to listen to the women who were telling him about Bob’s creepy actions. He didn’t take seriously the possibility that they were right. 

Bill assumed that women who were uncomfortable with Bob must be at fault; that they must be judging him too harshly or not understanding his awkwardness

Bill told women that he didn’t think that several women complaining about a guy was sufficient reason to think something was wrong

Bill assumed that innocently awkward men should not be confronted about inadvertantly creepy things they do, but rather women should shut up and let them be creepy

A rule of thumb for men:

If several women come to you saying that a man is being creepy towards them, assume that they are seeing something you aren’t

Listen to them about what they tell you

If you like the guy and have no idea what they’re talking about, that means that what he is doing is *not* innocent awkwardness.

If it was innocent awkwardness, he wouldn’t know how to hide it from other men

Men who are actually just awkward and bad at understanding boundaries also make *other men* uncomfortable

If a man is only making women uncomfortable but not men, that probably means he’s doing it on purpose

Take that possibility seriously, and listen to what women tell you about men

tl;dr If you are a man, other men in your circle who are nice to you are creepy towards women. Don’t assume that if something was wrong that you would have noticed; creepy men are good at finding the lines of what other men will tolerate. Listen to women. They know better than you do whether a man is being creepy and threatening towards women; if they think something is wrong, listen and find out why. Don’t tolerate give predatory dudes who are nice to you cover to keep hurting women.

Ive seen a lot of people say Steve Harrington is a James Potter Varient but no i think its more like

James = Robin

Nancy = Remus

Steve = Peter

Eddie = Sirius
