hi! i've no idea how i came to your page but i realised i'd read two of your one-shots in ao3 before and had adored them (you'll probably get comments from me in future, btw) and i just wanted to say thank you for your writing and thank you for your prongsfoot<3

i've been very critical of this sort of new, cool and aloof and martyred version of remus lupin for quite a while now (honestly, where did all those traits come from?!) and gosh, you're so eloquent when talking about him!!!

i was wondering what your thoughts were on regulus black? because i think he's getting the same sort of royalty treatment as remus does by making him sort of-- er, perfect? i mean. i've seen so much recently of him basically saving the world single-handedly and i-- ugh. and james is always just there, like a useless idiot? it makes me irrationally angry, and this is coming from someone who enjoys jegulus quite a bit. my problem is that i don't know if this rejection i feel against those two comes from a place of genuine dislike of them or from a place of wishing sirius and james were not done so dirty.

anyway, again, thank you for your writing. it's truly beautiful. hope you have a great day!

omg hello 🥺 i’ve periodically opened tumblr, giggling like a loon, and logging off multiple times just to see this ask,,,,thank u sm , ur way too kind <3 and ur comment on ao3!!! i was just,,,,yeah,,,no words. thank u.

ooooooh i remember being asked something similar a while ago and i took the safe route and basically went ‘remus lupin-ification of regulus’ iirc. that still stands. but but. i’ve also got another answer here! all hail tumblr’s search system today!

i still basically stand by all of it, but adding onto the jegulus + sirius bits of it:

annoys tf outta me when regulus is turned into a victim and like sirius damned him to hell when he left . i have thoughts about the way both of them were treated (which,,,another time,,,this post is already getting too long lol) but i imagine the day sirius left to be a Good One for reg bc he thinks he’ll have his parents undivided attention now. i also think regulus is severely defanged in a lot of characterisations, as if he wasn’t a baby DE, as if he wasn’t a slytherin from the house of black, as if he wasn’t walmart sirius black. like man i’m almost offended on his behalf. i’m sure his shaking his lil fist up at us from wherever he is.

with jegulus…okay, i’ve only read a couple oneshots but that doesn’t mean i haven’t tried. i genuinely went thru so many fics trying to get something, anything to stick and i think the problem is me. fully. completely. without doubt. i just can’t deal with a situation where j&s aren’t each others no.1, or at the very least, equivalent to that. that’s where my issues w wolfstar started, same w this. jegulus also has the added horror of ‘james and reg sneaking behind sirius’ back’ which is just,,,,gosh,,,,i have So Many Thoughts ab that. all personal opinions, but still. they’re strong. it fucks me up just thinking about it. i also think the ship tries wayyyy too hard to fit the ‘best friend’s brother’ trope and ends up sacrificing characterisation for it. which,,,again,,,that’s fine but it’s all the ‘oh this is how it was!’ that gets to me. and then james :/// he gives off such weird energy lol. jegulus gives me drarry vibes, and james is treated almost exactly as harry is in a lot of those. reg also gets the saviour treatment, like draco, and both of their fuckery is toned down until they’re almost normal, like they never did any reprehensible shit. j&r, and d&h are placed on the same moral equivalence and it’s just a bit. hmm. okay. (my issue with this is how it leaks into the writing and suddenly i’m made to sympathise with draco bc harry slashed him w sectumsempra, but we conveniently forget he was gonna use an unforgivable, ykno?) so overall it just feels…pushing reg up and pulling james down to get them on equal footing. very similar to wolfstar lbr.

anyway. that’s a ramble and a half lmao.

also!! ‘a place of genuine dislike of them or from a place of wishing sirius and james were not done so dirty’ in my mind, both of these occupy a similar plane of existence. so very valid. for me, personally, hating remrem started as the latter and i eventually realised it’s also the former lol i was just mad a how sirius is bastardised to justify his ~deification and it eventually moved on to ‘wow i just. do not like him’. damn.

🌺Azalea🌺: send a headcanon about them and the character you associate them with

Headcanon for Anika:

(Will you be surprised if I ship you with Steve?)

Learned a bit of everything from your team with SHIELD. The leadership and bonding from Coulson, the flexibility of Daisy (but the name of Skye is cooler, you think, more hacker vibe), the kicks and punches from May, the brainiac vibe from Fitz-Simmons, and a shotgun-axe from Mac (Well, you had it custommade for your size and grasp). Hell, even a few words of Spanish from Yo-yo.

Also you promised yourself, never fall into an office romance like Hunter and Barbara.

And that's until, whoops, the Avengers Initiative.

You can't help but bursting out a damn fit of giggles after his not-so-funny jokes. Your heart beat quickens everytime he mentions your name. And you DO NOT have a poster of him bought from the Smithsonian, that is, may or may not stashed in the back of your wardrobe.

Basically, your crush is painfully obvious to a couple of close friends.

But you hold it together during missions. You try your best to outgun and outwit the arms dealers and universe-annihilating psycopaths. The giggles and grins only appear behind close doors and, mostly, on your own.

Natasha calls you adorable when she approaches you about your crush, reminding you that in your line of work, any day could well be your last day.

You simply tell her that it's a harmless crush, and you wouldn't want office romance either way when you can still ogle a bunch of hot agents instead of only one. It's a lie, she could tell, so could you.

Yet this one time a few months later when you forgot your files in the briefing room and went back to get it. Before stepping into the room, you accidentally overheard two men talking.

"So you're saying you have absolutely no thoughts over her?" Sergeant Barnes quipped up, adding your name at the end of the question just to be certain.

"No." Replied Captain Rogers calmly, adding, "She is charming, witty, funny, laughs at every poor attempt of my jokes. The best right-punch I've seen from an agent and sure, that is the least attractive thing in my mind - what the hell do you think, jerk? Of course I am into her!"

I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I-- *resumes giggling and kicking feet*

You're giving me tooooo much credit of what I could learn and how badass I could be 😭 but a girl's gotta try if she wants to be an Avenger.

Also I would so totally tell myself an office romance was a terrible idea and forbid myself from even looking too much - HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?? Am I that obvious good girl goody two shoes and sticker for rules?

But Then. Of course. Then this wild MF walks in and-

...yeah.

I will most definitely giggle at even lame jokes, because his eyes light up so much, be it laughter or mischef when he makes them and he. is. just. so. pretty. And kind. And strong. And smart.

I'd probably squeal but managed to muffle the sound upon hearing that, but would stand frozen when they walk out and it might be hard to tell who is more O_O - me or Steve 😂 But I totally see Bucky patting his shoulder wth a smirk, because he had noticed I forgot my files and heard me coming back.

"You're welcome, punk."

And then, because I couldn't have helped listening and noticing everything, both Steve and I echo at the same time: "Jerk."

Nxkwejbewkjbckewbcjew I'm giggling so much! Thank you for this 😭💕 So precious and you're the sweetest 🥺

P.S. - yeah, it's absolutely shocking you ship me with the one dude I write about the most, like, over and over 🤭😭
