#i presume this is what you meant? although the grumpy remus in lockdown fic is 100% based on my husband!!

oooh, please talk to us about who are the hardest/easiest character(s) to write for you?😍☺️

@comaraudery of course I will you absolutely fantastic gem! (I’m presuming you’re talking about we can be heroes??)

I find it easiest to write Sirius and James. They both have aspects of men in my life who I love (my best friends from college and my dad’s over-the-top generosity, lol!) not perfect, but extra-likeable because of the flaws. And in addition to that, writing Sirius is easy because I headcanon him as having some features of borderline personality disorder and disorganised attachment (when your parents are both the person you turn to for help and safety and the cause of your pain/terror? Not good for children at all, poor boy) which explains his stupid decisions such as the Prank and emotion regulation problems a lot?

Maybe I make James too nice at times but I fucking headcanon him as too nice, so tough! And he’s not afraid to express his emotions, which I like because I hate that ridiculous stereotype that’s still out there that somehow making male characters emotional is weird/unacceptable 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ (more in parts of the Wolfstar fandom than in Jily fandom it has to be said, but it’s beyond stupid, and unfortunately people don’t realise it’s an unconscious toxic masculinity thing).

I find it a bit harder to write Remus’ perspective even though his personality is definitely inspired by my husband’s (lol, Mr Blithering is not aware!) but that’s because he’s less predictable. And on the other hand I know if his voice sounds right?

The hardest is Lily because I kind of identify with Lily the most, so it’s harder to be objective, and I really want her to be likeable and also badass, brave and BAMF but also kind? And funny and cheeky as she’s described in canon, and brainy but not Hermione-esque? Which is hard to do, as well as having a bit of a temper at times, but somehow not being a bitch and a grumpy git (or frankly horrible towards James as she is sometimes in fics!!?) - no pressure there so! I do find that people tend to be harsher in their feedback on women in fics than on male characters 🙄🙄🙄🙄....

Is that what you expected?? I enjoy writing Mc Gonagall - of any of the characters I’d aspire to be her! and I feel I have Dumbledore pretty well covered, although sometimes he surprises me by his nastiness!!???! (It gets worse as the story moves on!)
