#just lovers

[outromoony]

I just finished reading Just lovers (like we were supposed to be) for the first time, and this scene of Remus comforting Sirius was just my favorite. Sirius, who always felt too scared of being just like his family, of not being purehearted, which was always way more important to him than being pureblooded. Remus is so good with words. This is exactly what he needed to hear, because it's true.

"Sirius," Remus says gently, "we've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on; that's who we really are. I've never known someone who tries as hard to act on the light as you. That's who you are."

Regulus: You...love the moon?

Sirius: Yes.

Regulus: And you associate Remus with the moon?

Sirius: Yes.

Regulus: Hm. Wanna think about that any further...?

Sirius: I'm good thanks.

James: i love Lily, she is gonna be my future wife!

A tiny angry lil version of his best-friend: fuck off, Potter.

James: nvm, i am gay…

Jegulus fanart ?? In front of my salad ?? Yes. It’s called a hyperfixation and we can all blame @industrations 🫶💖

Lily: it's not like you can publicly be a queer couple at Hogwarts right?

Regulus Black: I'm about to ruin this woman's entire career

james admires regulus and calls it stargazing.

[none-of-it-was-accidental]

"regulus is essentially walking on the fucking sun at this point, burning himself up in the name of feeling warm." -just lovers, bizarrestars

"i'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror" -anti-hero, taylor swift

i have some thoughts on zar’s exit from the fandom & their decision to delete their fics and how the fandom is reacting to that. and the fandom is reacting horribly.

and the irony of it all! because, arguably, crimson rivers is what zar is most known for. crimson rivers, set in the hunger games universe, created by suzanne collins to criticize capitalism, the entertainment industry, and consumerism patterns of offered media and how it varies based on a social class. and zar’s work added so much nuance to what suzanne collins had written. zar had done an excellent job writing james, sirius, and regulus as victors and exploring their respective traumas when it comes to being in the public eye.

regulus (and james, too) constantly felt like he had no autonomy and no choice because he was thrust into the public light and pressured into doing exactly what was expected of him. and sirius? oh, sirius. sirius won his games and was made into this galaxy-sized celebrity by the hallows, expected to conform to every assumption made about him, to follow all the rules his new role as a mentor & a victor burdened him with. but most importantly—the hallows viewed sirius as nothing more than what he could offer to them. they looked at him and did not see the person.

zar wrote that, and tens-hundreds of thousands people read it and completely misunderstood. because zar wrote 865k words exploring how traumatizing it is to be made into an Image, to be stripped away of your autonomy for the sake of entertaining others. zar wrote that, only for the marauders fandom to do the exact same thing to them that the hallows did to sirius, to regulus, to james; to victors.

and that. that is fucking infuriating.

because, yes, zar is a brilliant writer, but first and foremost, zar is a person. and the way a large part of the fandom has been treating them is completely dehumanizing.

STOP saying “i respect/support zar’s decision but [insert a paragraph about how devastated you are and how you cannot stop crying]”.

STOP sharing the pdfs/epubs of his fics on literally all social media platforms when it’s the one thing zar explicitly asked people to not do.

STOP feeling entitled to the creative work that does not the fuck belong to you. STOP thinking that you have any right to demand anything from zar. STOP hiding emotional manipulation in-between words of illusory support and respect.

and to quote zar: for fuck’s sake, STOP calling them zeppazariel.

zeppazariel is a brilliant writer who was elevated within the fandom to a height so big that it hurts when you fall and crash, and the fandom pushed zar down. the marauders fandom made zar into a full-blown celebrity, but

zar is a person.

REMEMBER THAT.

Unpopular opinion

But the best representation ever of young peter is the one from the fic just lovers(like we were supposed to be) by bizarrestars

I go feral every time someone mentions him

‘’have you seen James’ birthmark’’ changed lives, including mine

“You haven’t lived until you’ve seen James potter naked’’

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwhhhhhhh🦅

I love him, (young)Peter Pettigrew’s fans rise up

Sirius: So it turns out I am gay.

Remus: Oh, congrats.

Sirius: Now I just need to find a bloke to shag.

Remus: I'm a bloke who shags.

[violentdelightsthings]

James Potter. Thats it, thats the post.

[justanothermarauderr]

regulus not at all concerned that remus was sitting in his apartment with a rat on his head, a mutt by his feet and a dirty woodlen creature next to him and choosing to rant about old witches trying to set him up with their granddaughter and not question it that much is so funny and the reason why i love this version of him
