Why Is Everyone So Against Remus Or Sirius Being Shipped With Other People And Why When Remus Tops Is

FUCK RICK RIORDIAN, FUCK NEIL GAIMEN, FUCK ALL THE SELLOUTS WHO'D TURNS A BLIND EYE TO GENOCIDE FOR ANOTHER BILL IN THEIR WALLET.

the amount of infantilisation of bb/lg in new-gen jjk smut fics is disgusting because why is every other toji slash gojo/reader fic have an innocence kink and why is reader always the virgin and why is there almost always a daddy kink like there's no way your minds are so deeply rooted in p3do and incestuous misogyny based kinks that those r the only three plot points you have, please. like I used to love Toji, except now every time I scroll through his tags looking for sweet fics about taking care of Megumi I see fics of him basically sa-ing the reader and coercing them into 'giving their innocence' up to him while basically imaging reader is his daughter.

i know it's a coping mechanism for some people given trauma they've experienced, but there gets to be a point where it's just pushing the dehumanisation of women and the purity culture. This is so controversial and probably ill-informed but it's 1am as I'm writing this and I can't give two shits.

lovesick lily who's just as mad for James and practices steamy pick-up lines on all of her friends to try and be more... sexy?

(Warnings!! Suggestive but not descriptive, nothing but bad pickup lines)

To peter: 'are you the sun? cause you're making me red and wet all over,' which was an immediate no and an insanely loud cackle from Benjy who tried his best to be a good friend and remain serious.

To remus: 'are you a broom? cause I wanna ride you till my legs are shaking,' a maybe, since remus started to blush but that was mostly cause lily said it while helping him apply oil to his scars while in his lap and remus always got nervous in close proximity.

To marlene: 'are you treacle tart? cause... stop laughing!' a no since she couldn't actually finish it because marlene was picturing james 'dick drawing' potter having sex and couldnt stop laughing since she imagined him making the same grandpa noises as he did during practice.

And last, but not least; from sirius, since he didn't want to picture his everything-but-blood brother shagging his everything-but-the-ring sister-in-law because 'do you really think james cares if you're sexy or not? You could show up dressed as a crazy cat lady with the hair-curlers and nightgown and ugly slippers and he'd still think you're the hottest and prettiest thing- ow! woman! he's ever seen. Stop worrying!'

which made lily realise she was being silly, and that if james really broke up with her cause she wasn't sexy enough, he wasn't worth it any way. (She still used the pickup lines on him just to see his reactions and wasn't disappointed when his jaw literally dropped and his pupils dilated)

my favorite Remus by far is Remus who is always just a little bit off; never fitting or slotting perfectly in anywhere with anyone. He insists to himself that he doesn't mind, that to fit into conformity would be killing off every part of him that makes him interesting, and maybe eventually he starts to actually believe it.

it all begins to seep out of his many cracks as his mind moves too quickly, and he can't stop the outpour of tears that doesn't even phase James anymore, as he wordlessly tucks Remus against his chest with a purposefully nailed hands raking gentle strokes along his back. Remus begs for an answer, asking if he truly means it when the boys say they love him, and that it isn't just some cruel prank or plan to be spared from werewolf attacks, and James wishes he could feed the love into his brain because words don't always seem to reach him. He doesn't mean to be the insecure friend who needs purpose, honest. These breakdowns occur about every other month, when the bottle gets too full and bubbles over.

this isn't necessarily meant to be moonchaser/rem+jam, but you could read it as such. Honestly I didn't even think of that as a ship but i think after i post this imma look for fics cuz that sounds so cute. I see James as the warm bodied friend, who doesn't hesitate to comfort and wrap himself around his friends when they're struggling, but he's not the best with loving words so it's soft scratches. I think Sirius is too straightforward to be able to deal with the melts, and peter freezes anytime he sees tears.

One of the things that pisses me off most about this genocide and overall occupation is how many people say it's so complicated and there's so much nuance and there isn't one easy solution. This is one of the simplest things I have ever seen. Zionists invaded palestine in 1947-48. They have occupied it for 76 years while taking more and more land. They kidnap and torture and massacre Palestinians day in day out for those 76 years. They control every aspect of Palestinian life, including their water and medical care. And now they are committing another genocide against them. Where is the complication? What is hard to understand? "Well, Jewish people need a place where they won't be discriminated against" I absolutely agree. So make every country in the world safe for Jewish people. Fight against anti Semitism across the world. Don't commit a genocide and set up an ethnostate.

dude I'm drawing my fic's lily and her eyes r giving me sm trouble like I don't want gf to have big baby eyes but that's looking like all I can draw 😭😭😭

I think I'm gnna give her curly-ish wavey hair (but more curly than wavey) cuz I don't see her having hair like Remus but I still think she isn't flatish haired like regulus

But I still don't know bcuz regulus DOES have curls, he jus hasn't taken care of them in so long that they'll need a lot of TLC to pop back up so rn hes jus kinda. Shaggy dark brown hair. ALSO I REFUSE TO GIVE HIM BLACK HAIR!!! BROWN HAIR SO DARK THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK ITS BLACK BUT ITS NOT FOR THE WIN!

Anyways pls give drawing ideas for lils

why do ppl get so mad when anyone ships anything that isnt jegulus or wolfstar pls get a grip

PSA time because this pisses me off

ahem

tumblr lately has been dry as fuck with fics, so ive been reading back at some favourites, and of course there are some i find that I don’t like

the concept will be interesting, I’ll press ‘Read More’ to read the whole thing, but what throws me off is that when writers use a person name instead of ‘reader’ or ‘(Y/N)’

if you use a name in a fic, it is NOT AN X READER. it defeats the purpose!

it’s technically an oc x reader, which i, personally, can’t stand

because an it’s an x reader, it should mean that the main character, aka the reader, should NOT have a set name

nor set race, hair colour, gender, eye colour, height, age (depends on said fic).

if you don’t abide by the rules, do not call it an x reader because it doesn’t portray anything about the person who’s reading it.

the person reading could be in their early 20s, for example, dark-ish skin and the opposite of straight hair

while the fic says it’s the exact opposite with the most basic white girl name known to man

Tl;dr: reader has a name? it isn’t an x reader! reader has set features? it. isn’t. an. x. reader!

GET IT RIGHT PLEASE. IM FED UP‼️

"Don't get me started on jegulus" actually please get started I'd like to hear your thoughts on it because your take on wolfstar and the oc-ification of some characters is so refreshing to see (tbh my first reaction to jegulus was just confusion on how it started and how quickly it got popular lmao)

ahh this makes so happy to hear that my post resonated with some people!! Was worried i was in the minority lol.

Anyways, abt jegulus -- i acc had a reaaally long post about how much i hated the dynamic (in canon compliant ish works -- Jegulus in aus is fine ig) but i deleted it lol.

I think the core reason why i dislike the pairing so much is that I feel like it the ship goes against everything James stands for. We don't know a lot about James' character in canon, but what we do know is that he had a strong sense of justice, and fierce loyalty to his friends and his cause, which ultimately led to his doom. I just can't imagine that James would associate with someone even a little bit bigoted. This is not to say i think James is a saint, i think he could be an ass sometimes (snapes worst memory lol) but i think he's draw the line at someone who was associated with 'evil'. James had a very black and white view of good and bad and i just don't think it would make sense for James to date reg, esp as he is becoming a death eater. James may be a dick but he is the biggest ally to ever ally !!

The only jegulus fics I have read are 'Just Lovers' and 'Choices'. Just lovers is a non-voldy au so i don't really have a problem with their dynamic there but choices on the other hand,, oh boy.

Spoilers for 'Choices' by MesserMoon btw (TW for talk of SA):

Regulus' friends rape Mary. And instead of feeling disgusted on the victim’s behalf, (who has been his friend for 5 years) James instead feels upset because it tarnishes the ‘good’ image he has of reg in his head. Thing is when a similar situation happened (The Prank ™), James was upset that Sirius would do such a thing but he also felt disgusted on behalf of Remus. Where was that energy here, huh?? I’ve even seen comments villianising Mary (the rape victim).

The thing I also hate about their dynamic is that it is basically an ally of the oppressor and ally of the oppressed. The problem with that is that when you are allied with the oppressor, you become an oppressor yourself (and reg does; he does terrible things) and that subsequently makes the so-called ally of the oppressed in cahoots with the oppressor as well. This brings so many parallels to real life where people say that they are an “ally” but become friends with/date a racist/rapist. “Oh but they’re nice to me”. James is supposed to be my comfort character; not an accidental allegory for those horrible, hypocritical, self-proclaimed ‘liberals’.

And in other jegulus canon-compliant-ish fics, sometimes instead of James' character being watered down its Regulus' character. Like, he's not as morally grey, not as complex etc so it makes sense that James would agree to date him. I feel like jegulus as a ship ruins the core of what made their characters so interesting in the first place.

That being said,,, i do love me some canon-compliant unrequited jegulus. Regulus goes to hogwarts, gets so mad at Sirius for ditching him or whatever, but falls in love with the very guy that stole sirius away. He also has internalised homophobia because he's a Black brother so imagine the angst. James potter goes against everything he stands for,, sirius betrayed him,, but perhaps they're right abt smth?? Perhaps he needs to do smth. But alone. Because in my head Regulus is always tragic and alone.

Anyways sorry for rambling but these are my thoughts on jegulus !! To sum up i think it ruins core of these characters, i prefer jily and i love me some unrequited gay pining for the boy who you're brother replaced u with
