I took a which marauders am I quiz...why is it actually so accurate tho like I'm scared
(I FORGET WHO POSTED THE QUIZ AND I COULDN'T FIND THE POST NOR THE LINK FOR THE QUIZ😭)
ok, I might be the soft remus, but GOD I wanted to be the cool remus so bad
i have always been a Romulus Lupin truther!! I'm like you where I don't really like ocs if they impact the main plot but i make this once exception. Idk if it's my major bias towards Remus but he just doesn't seem like an only child to me and I think Hope and Lyall would've had more kids if Greyback never happened
I've seen a few hcs once that Romulus did exist but Remus killed him during a full moon before he joined Hogwarts so he never talks about him. Personally I go completely off of cannon in this instant and hc him to be six years older then Remus (im just a sucker for siblings) and he dies with Hope during the first war
I love your post on the possibilities of him sm, everything you said makes such perfect sense and it's just so heartbreaking to think of Remus having a twin brother who gets to be all the things he can't
You’re so real for the Romulus being older than Remus thing! Remus gives off such younger sibling vibes. On the topic of that, our Moony is definitely the younger twin. He’s definitely not older. They would definitely have had siblings if Greyback didn’t get involved, I think.
That headcanon that Remus killed him is wild. That would never happen. Hope and Lyall were so careful about it that’s it’s just kind of ludicrous. Him dying with Hope in the war definitely sounds much more plausible than a lot of the other Remus-has-a-brother things I’ve seen around.
I’m a sucker for angst, lol. I feel like they would both have a long few years of deep resentment, probably spurred on by going to Hogwarts and being treated the same by staff, then coming back home to the unbalanced treatment. They get along really well pre-Hogwarts, but things change and they grow more and more distant.
They end up working it out after Regulus dies, because it makes Remus realize that the possibility of losing a family member is very, very real, and he doesn’t want to end up like Sirius and his brother. Then they meet up, talk it through, and Romulus and Hope die like a year later. That got way darker than intended but y’know.
On more kids if Greyback didn’t happen, though: I think that Hope and Lyall were not only too busy with Remus, but also afraid of Greyback coming back for more. Although, Remus’ condition would take up a lot of time. I do think they’d have younger cousins, though (I have Remus’ whole family tree planned out in my head).
