Have you ever gone to a rodeo?

It's been about 26 years since I first heard this song/watched its video, and it's still fucking tits.

I am so tired. Let me deal with tried, American bullshit by not dealing with it at all. Peace?

'Unbearable'. . . I didn't think it was that bad, lmaooooo.

It felt way more oppressive last night at 21:00 than it does right now, tbh.

Wish I could go to the beach on this, the hottest day Boston's possibly ever had, instead of being stuck inside work all day.

the whump fan’s dilemma

[casquecest]

Do you live in one of the top ten populated cities in the United States?

New York City, NY

Los Angeles, CA

Chicago, IL

Houston, TX

Phoenix, AZ

Philadelphia, PA

San Antonio, TX

San Diego, CA

Dallas, TX

Jacksonville, FL

I live elsewhere in the US

I do not live in the US

From the census numbers, about 7% of the US lives in these ten cities - I wanna see how the numbers line up for tumblr!

Remus Lupin is Canonically Straight!

(And aroace coded)

Many people ship canonically straight characters and that's fine. Everyone of us has our fantasies, fetiches and favourite tropes. But when it comes to Remus Lupin, some people — Marauders fans again 🙄— say he's implied to be gay or bi in canon.

Let me just correct you right there: No. he's not. He's actually heavily implied to be grey aroace. I'm sorry, ship what you want but this is not a matter of Interpretation. It is what it is. Full stop.

So, let’s sit down, pour some tea, and straighten out a few things (pun not intended, but I’ll take it):

Remus John Lupin is canonically straight.

• He had a mild crush on Lily Evans (stated by J.K. Rowling in an interview).

• He fell in love with and married Nymphadora Tonks. He had never fallen in love before! Never.

His romantic arc is exclusively with women.

His official biography states that he had never fallen in love before Tonks. If you’re still arguing, you’re not arguing with an interpretation. You’re arguing with a direct statement. That’s not canon-adjacent. That’s just canon.

David Thewlis is a brilliant actor — and a notorious joker.

He’s witty. He’s playful. He cracked a joke about Lupin being gay because Cuarón (the director) told him to play the character like a “gay junkie.”

Everyone on set laughed. Because it was a joke. It was behind-the-scenes direction and performance.

The metaphor of lycanthropy is about stigma.

Specifically, J.K. Rowling said it represents “the stigma surrounding blood-borne diseases such as AIDS.”

That’s about how society treats people, not a metaphor for queerness.

(Side note: Not all people with AIDS are gay, and not all gay people have AIDS — let’s not regress 40 years in our public understanding.)

Remus as queer representation

You know who else is emotionally repressed, guilt-ridden, touch-starved, and awkward around romance? Aroace people.

If anything, canon leans toward grey aroace, not toward any gay or bi reading.

He spent most of his life avoiding love, never fell in love until adulthood, and struggled with intimacy due to trauma and internalized stigma. That’s aroace spectrum, baby.

So... Just write your fanfics and be happy. But let people who apreciate canon and who seek true representation be happy too.
