OK, fandom, here’s a thing about Remus Lupin we don’t hear nearly enough about: sometimes, being a werewolf wasn’t an unrelenting cycle of angst.  Sure there was a lot of suckage, but sometimes there was fun.

‘And they didn’t desert me at all.  Instead they did something for me that would make my transformations not only bearable, but the best times of my life.  They became Animagi.’

(Chapter 19, The Servant of Lord Voldemort, PoA.)

Where are you all hiding the fic and arts when teenage Remus gets to actually enjoy some full moon high-jinks?  There’s more misery and moping around the hospital wing than you can shake a stick at and, I get that, I really do, we all love a bit of h/c, we hurt the ones we love the most and all that malarkey.  But surely there’s room for more?  The roaming the school grounds, running about the Forest, wild animal adventures?  Most times there’s not much willingness to even admit that Remus ever had any fun, instead just a grudging acceptance that his Animagi friends made full moon a bit less bad, maybe even tolerable.  but Remus very clearly says otherwise.  To repeat:

‘The best times of my life.’

Look, it’s not like Remus didn’t have enough misery, can we not let the poor bastard enjoy the one bit of fun canon gives him?  Oh, and while we’re on the subject, he goes on:

‘And there were near misses, many of them.  We laughed about them afterwards.’

Think about that for a minute.  Remus came close to attacking people during the full moon on multiple occasions, but far from being consumed with self-loathing and regret, managed to laugh about it afterwards.  I mean, he had a bit of a conscience about it, but:

‘I always managed to forget my guilty feelings every time we sat down to plan our next month’s adventure.’

Sure, he knew what he was doing was dangerous, and sometimes he felt a bit bad about it.  But it didn’t stop him doing it, didn’t stop him laughing off the dangers, didn’t stop him regarding the full moon as an “adventure.” 

There will always be fans of long-suffering Remus and, hey, knock yourselves out if that’s fun for you.  But, oh, what I wouldn’t give for a little more of canon Remus who is no sort of soft doughy cinnamon roll but is a bit of a thrill-seeker, not entirely honest, and definitely capable of having fun.  

Don’t @ me unless you’ve got recs or are up for planning next month’s adventure.

i mean, i confess to being a huge angst addict, but damn let the boys have their fun. let remus be fucking done with the quiet and careful of his childhood and be reckless

also, i know this is super ironic, but this just inspired me to write some super angsty hc… i guess i’m just unredeemable, oops?

France is bringing back compulsory military service for all young people

anarcho-tolkienist:

“so you kids think the french government and military are corrupt? how about i MAKE you work for us instead. how do you like that? who is corrupt now??”

Friendly reminder that France is still in a state of emergency and hence in effect a really blatant police state.

-_- honestly fuck macron

he is working on many, many laws concerning the youth, especially the education system, all while not spending a dime on unis and schools and giving it all to the military

he is trying to make out generation more class divided, more obediant, more trusting of the govt.

a small “top of my head” list about his measures for young people :

  • make it easier for colleges/unis/… to discriminate against students from a poor background, both from checking the academic level of their high school and by asking questions like “do you volunteer or take extra classes in your free time ?” which of course poor students who have to work cant do
  • in france, we have the “baccalauréat”. it’s an exam everyone pass at the end of high school and the diploma gives you access to a higher education. it’s the same for everyone in france, but macron wants to make it different for every school BUT ALSO to give it a different value according to which school you go to – so a baccalauréat from a school in a rich white neighbouhood will be worth more than one from a poor brown/black part of the city.
  • in france, students are divided in groups who have all their classes together ( biology, art, english, you name it we’re together, we’re a team ) not only is that great bc you have people you can rely to if you have troubles at school, it also allows students to talk together to the teachers when they have an issue. macron wants to delete this system and instead use the american one
  • force students to determine what fields they want to specialise in at fourteen. FOURTEEN.
  • make it harder to obtain a spot in college. that one dont require much explaination
  • and this shit with the military

honestly, screw him. no wonder he complains about young people hating him. he wants a hyperliberal economy with an authoritarian politic ? all hes going to get is a new student riot ( search mai 68 if you want to know more about the time french students collectively said “fuck it” and went to throw stones at the conservative govt )

Wolfstar at the beach…..😉

sorry i didnt see this yesterday !

“Sirius, I’m not sure that’s a good idea…” Remus said, trailing behind his overexcited boyfriend. “I mean, you know I don’t like showing my body… And going swimming is one of those things that require a good amount of nakedness…”
“Nonsense !” Sirius replied. “You’ll love it. I brought a picnic, and a frisbe so I can play as Padfoot, and a shovel to make a sandcastle… This is going to be an amazing date !”
Remus was about to hesitantly protest when suddenly he saw the beach before him. “Sirius, that’s…”
“That’s a secret beach me and James found the other day !” He was smiling brightly, clearly proud of his discovery. “If you want to skinny dip, no one will see you. If I want to turn into a dog, no one will be surprised.”
Remus blushed. It did sound like a great date idea after all. “That’s incredible, Pads. I love it.”
Sirius’ grin widened even more. “I knew it ! Now come on, Padfoot want to run around with a brightly colored toy.”
