Maybe if he was a little less fuckable we wouldn’t be in this mess

THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH

[aroaceslytherin]

You should have some standards about how you want to be treated, and you should always be treated with kindness and respect but don't expect other people to fulfill every single one of your needs as if they lived to please you. Your freedom and dignity matter as long as it doesn't inflict a loss to someone else's freedom and well-being. Other people don't have to cater to you all the time, just as you don't have to do so for them. Having such high standards and no tolerance for being displeased by others will only guarantee you disappointment. People are not perfect and they mess up even when they are trying to be nice and do their best. If you want something that fits all your needs, requirements and never fails, you are looking for an object and not an individual.

This is cinema!

me when my therapist tells me to stop seeking comfort in fictional characters:

Lyall Lupin is a pure blood and it's a pretty good chance his mother was a Black and some other pure blood...

So wouldn't he have access to a shit ton of money?

Even if he was half-blood; whether with a muggle parent and a pure blood parent or a half-blood with a half-blood or a muggle with a half-blood or pure blood; there's still some potential he has some inheritance.

I have this idea that he was either disowned or even ran away with Hope because he wanted to be with her. So his parents gave everything they had to his sister. When they died, though, maybe his sister added him in, but then he was so used to a minimalistic, middle class/poor life that he refused.

Or he just didn't like the money in general, ran away to be a Muggle, met Hope, moved to a cottage with her, and raised Remus his own way and not around all the pure blood rich mania he had grown up in.

He wanted Remus to think for himself, to be happy no matter what, and not be known everywhere. He wanted him to enjoy the world and be careful with his spendings rather than have everything handed to him. Or have him even potentially be influenced by his grandparents or hated by his grandparents since Lyall knew it was inevitable that the werewolf parasite would get them and change their son.

I have this headcanon that Lyall's parents were werewolf hunters, and that's part of where his mindset came from. That is also part of how Lyall became hunted and followed by wolves. He ran away in hopes to remove the curse, but he failed and it cost him his son... So he thought.

What if Lyall was just trying to protect his son all along but when he "failed" he blamed himself and stayed away as much as he could without leaving his wife and son? Because leaving them would put them both in even more immense danger. It could even potentially kill them.

Lyall loved Remus. So much to the point he stayed away and hated himself. He thought that was the best way. He learned once Hope died and Remus stayed over more often at the Potter's. As long as James' mother updated Lyall, he was okay.

Lyall was proud of his son for making friends and finding a partner, becoming happy and living a life he had taken.

Though the guilt never left. Lyall never stopped hating himself or blaming himself. His son had changed and was a werewolf but at least he was safe, loved, and had a mind of his own. That's all Lyall wanted.

James, year one: Haha trans people are so weird. Why are you using the wrong bathroom? Are you a spy? Is it an illness?

-----

James, year five, cringing: Permission to use a time turner to go back in time and throat punch younger, transphobic me?

Remus: Nah, he was just an eleven-year-old kid growing up in a world where this kind of thing is only talked about in certain circles in hushed whispers.

Remus: And look who he's grown into--a kinder, warmer soul who learned over time, with exposure and education. The world can learn a lot from you, James.

[aroaceslytherin]

Sirius: I'm not transphobic, I have trans friends-

Remus: *deep sigh* Here we go...

Sirius: -and so to avoid hurting them unintentionally, I make it my mission to correct any transphobic behaviour I might notice in myself so this world can be a better place for everyone

Remus: ...to the altar, because I'm gonna marry you

Can we talk about the whole Ink/Quill/Parchment thing in Harry Potter?

I watched a documentary about the printing press a while ago and it went into detail about the differences between the monks copying page after page in England and the printing press in Germany. Something that I wasn’t expecting it to do was to go into detail about how everything was made and how long it took to do these kinds of things. Apparently it’s a lot more complicated than you’d think, and it proves that JKR didn’t think this part of her world through either

Hello

I took a break... a little breather.

I have been working on a Marauders Hogwarts Era short series... very... very... VERY slowly. (Slower than a sloth)

Also, I injured my shoulder again and it has been acting up so I haven't been able to type for x amount of time like I used to.

[aroaceslytherin]

Harry: I don't have a type.

Ron: Yes you do. Blonde, rich, grey eyes, sarcastic, daddy issues, seeker-

Harry: -why are you describing Malfoy?

Ron: why am I- OH COME ON MATE

draco and narcissa’s relationship is so sweet :’)

[aroaceslytherin]

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain

Padfoot to everyone.

One of the first tries, I'm still in process of figuring out how I want to draw him.
