This is the reason that I will never finish reading atyd, I blame it for how Remus is now portrayed. Though I'm not putting hate on it, people are aloud to like what they like, just sometimes it feels like I'm reading an entirely different character.
it pisses me tf off when people who've never read the series, or watched any of the movies for that matter, try and treat canon with the same attitude they treat fanon. like a post will be talking about remus' actual personality and how his fanon characterisation destroys everything about him, goes against all he tried to be all his life, made it so that half-baked aids metaphor fans cling onto for dear life has turned super fucking problematic instead of just half-baked and careless after-thought esque rep like all of jkrs other rep...valid points. and a 12 yo who read only atyd and views remus as a greyback clone will say "he can be both 🤗"
yeah sure!! but he isn't tho. because his entire character is him being NOT that. so he CAN'T. in an au, it's interesting to explore, sure.
but rn?? factually? canonically? he isn't and there's no changing that but they'll never get that, because in fanon he's no one way, and they don't understand the difference.
u get me? he can't be because he's NOT. it's that simple.
"umm actually he's both a sweet book worm and an angry dominant beastly 6 foot thirty jock he's so cute and multifaceted"- ARE U HEARING YOURSELF???
not my remus. canon remus you will always be famous and i love your cowardly, anxious, self-loathing, average height, KIND, pushover self keep it up sis 🤎
tbh ive never heard of this discourse at all but i do think he's nerdy and not a weird alpha male so yeah !
name/tag top three people you know!!
I don't know that many people on this app, but I have my own little world with my favs, @indigostation , @read-reblog-repeat , and @mexicanpadfoot with a few others and I think that's all I need.
Ok, I can't currently, at 20 past 11 at night, stop thinking about Neil Perry with a wonky walk. Like he has a left lean walk or something like that where he is always slowly walking off to the left. Charlie definitely, at first, thought Neil was coming onto him with how much he was getting into his personal space, but then he saw Neil walk out of the dining hall, from his place at the table, and saw how he slowly veered to the left.
Charlie, thinking Neil knows about the way he walks, just subtly helps him stay in the right direction even if it sometimes drives him up the wall. The thing is though, Neil doesn't know this fact about himself and is always confused when he smacks into things because he could have sworn he wasn't that close to it before.
Neil is most definitely banned from going into the woods on his own because the one time he did go into the woods by himself, he got so lost that it was the next day before anyone found him. He insists that he doesn't know how he got lost, and annoyed he walks away from them, and all the poets can do is sigh as they watch Neil slowly walk off to the left and of course Neil is looking up at the birds in a near by tree and not where he is going. And he wonders why he got lost in the first place.
Guys, get ready to drag me kicking and screaming back into the Marauders fandom because Captain America Brave New World comes out on the 13th, and I'm like the biggest marvel buff that I know but I really need to write the 10 Bllu children like it's a nessacity.
I always picture you like a bunch of women (73) in a trench coat
Damn I wish
Sadly, I am one, very single, woman with no trech coat, though I would love a trench coat at some point. 😥 😔 😟 🙁 😞
Thinking of making Sirius 2.0's birthday the 31st of October just to fuck with everyone's mental state because I don't think I'm going to do the whole voldemort saga because that feels like a low blow even for me. But I could kill Lily and James off, send Sirius off to azkaban if we'd like, though I probably won't. Everybody like nobody dies, the real cannon.
omg idk if uve posted an explanation for transmasc chase but if u havent id LOVE to hear?!?!?! im trans and i love house so :3:3
I've never made an explanation, but here's my list of headcanons:
as for my explanation, I believe he struggles with his masculinity in a uniquely transmasc way. People that headcanon him as transfemme will notably say that he's "performing gender", overcompensating to portray a sense of masculinity that he doesn't feel internally. But I disagree (for one, he's not hypermasculine in any sense that could be construed as a performance). This is because he has to actively work to be perceived in a masculine manner, and be treated as a man within the structure of the society he lives in, which would almost always come automatically if he were cis (again, he's white, "straight", well off in the beginning of the series, and able bodied. these aspects should put him at an advantage he clearly doesn't have). While there aren't any particular examples, you can clearly tell that characters like House, Wilson, and Foreman really aren't being perceived in whatever way Chase is. He's almost treated like a woman in the context of the series, particularly by House. He's always being described as "pretty" (by everyone) and a lot of House's jabs come from this perception. And this is clearly something he's uncomfortable with. I believe if he were to be a closeted transfemme this would either ease into comfort or become more uncomfortable around season 6 when he does become much more visually masculine (buzz cut, stubble, etc). While he was in no means comfortable at this point (Cause, you know), it clearly isn't discomfort in his identity, it's the natural discomfort of being freshly divorced from a whirlwind marriage. His relationship with Cameron also highlights his transmasculinity. Obviously, Cameron has her dead ex husband. Chase struggles with the fact that Cameron will never view him in the same way as she did her ex husband, like he'll never be the same to her or even enough to her. Especially enough as a man. I think the choice to show Cameron's attachment to her ex through his sperm specifically is a very interesting choice. There's the easy route of going "haha get it he doesn't have his own sperm", which is valid, but sperm and using it to produce children was something that at the time was largely unique to men and traditional masculine gender roles. Showing Cameron keeping her ex's sperm not only conveys that she wouldn't view him as a good and adequate husband, but more specifically as a good and adequate man, which puts a serious strain on their relationship. The show could have just as easily used something else, like a ring, and would be just as cinematic. The choice of sperm specifcally is interesting to me. And killing Dibala, which leads Cameron to end their relationship, was another example of Chase's relationship with masculinity. Dibala tells Chase, who is clearly uncomfortable around him, that "real men stand up for their values", which leads to Chase killing him. And this still isn't enough for Cameron. His relationship with his father is another signifier of his gender. Clearly, his father doesn't view him as a son, going so far as to cut him out of the will. And his religious trauma again gives him a uniquely transmasc vibe, but I can't out my finger on it.
And I hate to bring this into it because I believe you don't need to look a certain way to be a gender, but yeah, he does have some pretty feminine traits physically (soft hair, baby face). But these traits do slowly disappear throughout the show, signifying him going further into his transition (although in reality Jesse Spencer is a cis man and this is just the natural aging process, however Chase is meant to be a few years older than Spencer). Also, Jesse Spencer is transphobic and headcanoning him as transmasc is, to me at least, a great way to reclaim the character, and I view it as fitting much better into the storyline and his character than him being transfemme (I do believe that only a small portion of the fandom actually does view him as a cis man). So yeah. I didn't mean to go on a total yapathon, nor did I mean to invalidate or be malicious to anyone with a different opinion. These are just my thoughts on the subject.
You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right
You can't give people these ideas like omg this actually killed me
big brown eyes, big brown eyes asking for permission near his crotch
Regulus Black you're so strong I would've made the Weasleys jealous of the amount of times Remus Lupin got BRED
Shout out to @read-reblog-repeat and @indigostation for collectively putting me onto the moonwater brain rot. I'm loving it here, and I can't stop thinking about the huge ass family of 10 look alikes that's been created.
i think one of the things i love about the marauders fandom is how important music is
whether it be david bowie, or queen, or t. rex, or whatever other bands/artists, they're all worth so much to us
i know a lot of people get into older music from the marauders and its so amazing to me (especially as someone who loves music with my entire heart and soul) that part of our community is entirely centered around that
