Listen, sometimes a ship is less about wanting them to kiss or have sex or whatever, and more about needing them to be so endlessly intertwined and connected to the point where they might as well be one creature.
orchid and sage pretty pls nini <3
hi rae!!
orchid: what’s a song you consider to be perfect?
ooh this is a good question. i’m 100% that person whose taste in music changes constantly so if you asked me this in a few months the answer would likely be different! and i also am sooo bad at picking favorites for literally anything and this feels adjacent to picking a favorite 😭 but im tentatively saying one of these two…
sage: what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is?
okay i think i have to say fiction/books for this one because it is one of the rare art forms that actually makes me feel things? i deeply enjoy many other forms of art but writing is one of the few that actually makes me feel the emotions the artist is trying to convey. i absorb the emotions so easily from writing, and i truly do not know why!
ask game here!
the eighth and final chapter of BRTC is up! a huge thank you to everyone who has been so enthusiastic and encouraging on tumblr and on ao3 :)
it’s so bittersweet to be saying goodbye to this version of Remus and this little universe but i’m really happy with where it ends and i’m very proud of it. and i have more fics in the works! i have several ideas planned out and have already begun drafting the next one
Me looking through AO3: ughhh I need to find a fic to read
My 62 open AO3 tabs: 👁️👄👁️
"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.
Whilst we're talking about the new HP show and the authors evident involvement, it's important to remember that the marketing team and likely others will know that Wolfstar and Drarry are the most popular aspects of this fandom.
They'll probably know about All the Young Dudes [David Thewlis and Andrew Garfield have been asked about it in random interviews, so any marketing team capable of basic research will know about it]. They will know that there is an entire community surrounding the Marauders (because there has been for like 20 years, it's not new)
And this information can be used in marketing. The focus has been so much on the author won't make them Canon (true), people are missing that that's not the only way to manipulate an audience into watching.
And it really wouldn't take much.
Just the idea of casting Andrew Garfield, or Ben Barnes posting a filter, or Aaron Taylor Johnson introducing the pet shop boys cover of All The Young Dudes has people who previously had "fuck jkr" in their bio foaming at the mouth for the show. It's already working without them having to do anything
They might queer bait, they might not. But the thing with queer baiting is
you can choose not to bite.
the tiktok marauders fandom is actual hell on earth bro. were you guys actually planning on watching it until snape was cast as a black man? were you all not pissed about this remake the second that it came out? sorry but this is clearly JKR’s last attempt to cling onto any bit of relevancy that she has and you all are just… buying into it! i literally do not care if you pirate this show, you should not be giving it any sort of attention whatsoever! if your final straw with this reboot is snape getting cast as a black man because it makes your fav fictional characters look racist, you really need a reality check. this reboot was full of problems from the beginning and everyone chose to ignore it because “yay new harry potter content!” genuinely so unbelievable
i feel like sirius and remus being physically affectionate with each other would be so awkward. like they both enjoy it because it’s from the love of their life but it’s just so funny. sirius never really learned how to be physically affectionate so he just doesn’t really know what he’s doing and remus is like afraid of hurting him and he’s just so tall and gangly and it’s just so adorable because they’re both lowkey touch starved.
Sirius, slamming a piece of parchment in front of Remus: That’s it! Sign here, and first thing Monday, I’ll see you in court!
James, Lily, and everyone else, frozen in horror: WHAT?!
Remus, calmly shaking his head: He means at the marriage registry. Babe, that’s the worst way to tell our friends we’re getting married.
Everyone: YOU’RE ENGAGED?!
Sirius, smirking: Not after Monday I’m not. I’ll be married.
Sometimes I want to send you asks on instagram but I get scared bc it's my irl account but the doodle you did the other day of Remus sticking his tongue out makes me unreasonably happy
hes balop
