platonic kisses between james and sirius are one of my favorite thing in this fandom
Étiquette : mwpp era
about the lupins
first of all : lyall and hope lupin are the most loving couple in the world. i think most of wizard/muggle couples are because they were trusting enough to tell them the truth, but hope and lyall are particularly close. they trust each other and forgive each other. they are just perfect for eachother and every one knows it as soon as they see them together. they share a sweet and soft love that nothing could ever bring down.
about remus : before he was bitten, he was closer from his father than his mother. he was very close of hope too, but his dad was his personnal hero, the man he would dream to become one day. they have many things in common and share a lot of stuffs, even though lyall is often at work.
but after the attack, things change. remus doesn’t know the circumstances of the bite yet, so he isn’t mad at lyall. but lyall is feeling terribly guilty, he thinks his son is better off without him. the only thing that stopped him from leaving the house was hope, who tried to make him feel like it wasn’t his fault and they still loved him. it still takes years for him to get close to remus again, but their relationship is changed forever. he loves his son with all his heart, but he hates himself.
so remus gets step by step closer to his mum. since she’s a muggle, she doesn’t have the same predjudices against werewolves than wizard. because she started to believe in magic so oh sure, she can believe that werewolves are nice most of the time. and since remus can’t do loud games outside with his friends anymore, he starts to appreciate his mother’s quiet presence. she’s the one that introduces him to books, and shows him all her favorite movies. she is the first to call him “professor lupin” because he always tries to teach her things he read ( most of the time she already knows them but she plays along and pretends ). the two of them are as close as a child and his parent can be.
remus cannot even understands the concept of parents not loving their child with all their hearts.
i’m bored, so send me your description and i’ll ship you with someone from the marauders era
( please include what genders you are attracted to )
i was admiring my marauder’s map poster when i realized something.
a lot of people mentionned that they have to had great charms skill to make the maps, and a few also pointed out that they were also great artist ( bc let’s face it the map is the most aesthetic thing in hp ).
but there is actually a great amount of text in latin at the bottom of the cover. the main sentence that is always repeated is “maraudere est audere”. audere means to dare. i haven’t translated the rest of the text bc i’m lazy but these nerds actually wrote a text in latin about themselves and then translated it in LATIN just to show up.
and now we have to ask which one of them took time to translate a text in latin and then write it aestetically ( is that even a word ) and they weren’t even sure someone will actually read it someday.
i’m probably not the first to think about it but i never saw any post about it ? and now i really wanna know what’s written ????
I have this headcanon that at some point in hogwarts ( year five or something ) remus and sirius just knew eachother’s feelings and had an unspoken arrangement not to do anything about it for all the usual reasons ( insecurities, fear for their friendship… ) but at some point during year 6 they couldn’t do it anymore and they finally got together. for the same reasons than above they didn’t tell the others about it and kept it a secret. and then the prank happened and as remus is being comforted by james and peter he tells them that they were in a relationship. suddently james and peter understand how much remus trusted padfoot and how much the prank hurted him.
when remus forgave sirius, he kissed him in the middle of the great hall.
just imagine
it’s year six for the marauders and moony and padfoot are FINALLY together and all hogwarts is glad that all this sexual tension is resolved.
so they are so lovey dovey that everyone in the castle know about their relationship.
including the slytherins.
including regulus black.
so one day remus is just walking to classes and then the next thing he knows he is being pushed against the wall and threatened with a wand by regulus black.
his first reaction is panic because he knows the black aren’t exactly lgbt+ friendly. but he manages to stay calm and think of a way to get out of this shit.
so he opens his mouth to try to buy time, but before he can regulus is talking.
“listen, i’m not here to hurt you. not unless i have to. but you have to listen to me right now bc i won’t say it twice.’
and then, with a completely straight face, he starts to give remus the "hurt my brother and i will kill you” speech.
just think about how it would be both easy and really tough to break sirius and remus’s couple.
they were both really insecure due to their pasts. i read fics where remus would think sirius was only with him as an act of rebellion toward his family, and fics where sirius thought remus was with him because no one else would fall in love with a werewolf.
and yet they knew they could trust the other one. and that’s beautiful. and now i’m crying bye.
here’s the thing kiddos.
sirius and remus almost never fight. most of the time it’s all fun and fluff ( and sex ) and everyone is really happy.
but when they DO fight. run. run for your life. there are insults that are meant to hurt, often related to lycanthropy/family, no physical harm but pretty damn close. it’s not talking to eachother for a week. it’s wanting revenge.
it’s the Prank on snape.
it’s thinking the other is a traitor during the war.
because remus and sirius put so much faith in the other one that when something goes wrong they just can’t stand it.
and their own insecurities stop them from apologizing and dealing with the matter like adults.
so here it is. wolfstar has the worst fights of all the ships bc they are both fucked up and sometimes they just can’t do it anymore.
i saw a post complaining that sirius black was always portrayed as an overexcited 12 years old girl when he was at hogwarts, but i feel like it makes perfect sense with his past.
he was never allowed to have fun and do what he wanted at his home. when he was sorted in gryffindor, he was more free that he ever been. i think he would want to enjoy this freedom and do whatever he wants, and that includes acting like a child sometimes since he never got the chance to be one before.
also this could be his way to hide the abusive behaviour of his parents to his friends. maybe he even tried to copy the behaviour of james, the “happy and normal kid” in the group. this attitude could be both his way to hide and to heal his problems.
and when he acted like his dark and depressed self, it was usually because he couldn’t pretend anymore. it was the moments he both needed and rejected his friends.
and that is what we clearly see in the ootp : he can act like a child or a teen, mistaking harry for james, insulting him “you’re not as much like your father than i thought” ( approximative quote ).
my point is that he wasn’t a child : he had a serious bipolar disorder and his childish behaviour occured during his manic phases, leading him to be careless and make impulsive decisions.
( please keep in mind that i am not a psychiatrist and do not experience bipolar disorder. if i said anything offensive, please message me and will immediatly correct it )
