here's some more unsolicited adult advice as someone in her 30s who knows there are a lot of twenty somethings and teens that follow her: if you're trying to build a new habit you really want, and are struggling, you have to break it down to the smallest building block possible. If you're failing, you haven't thought small enough. I know it's possible to hear stories of people who just snapped into new life mode one day by "just deciding", but truly what's happening there is a confluence of events and experiences that force the brain into some sort of epiphany. You cannot will an epiphany. It'll never work. For most times of your life, you will need to build habits intentionally, and that means not working against yourself and to set micro goals. like laughably tiny goals. because once that easy tiny goal is met, you can build off it, tiny goal after tiny goal until you reach your big goal.
so for example, if you want to be a morning person that gets up at ass crack dawn so that you can work out, eat brekkie, shower, and get to work at a leisurely pace, and you're not that person because you will hit your snooze button 800 times, you have to get the big picture goal out of your head. think smaller. "I want to get up 15 minutes earlier than I normally do." If you can't do that, make it 5 minutes. "I want to cook breakfast every day" hell no too big. "I want to eat something, anything, before I leave the house" hell yeah, fantastic. When you go to the grocery store to make sure there are things in the house for breakfast, if you keep buying bagels and microwave sandwiches that you ignore, you gotta think smaller. SMALLER. What's something so easy to eat that you'll never say no to. Is it a yogurt? Is it a handful of grapes? Is it a hostess ho ho? is it hot cheetos? FORGET the big picture of the fantasy put-together woman preparing a full nutritious meal that you'd be proud to admit to. Think only of the smallest goal you can achieve. If you know you can't say no to an ice cream sandwich, put a ton of ice cream sandwiches in your freezer and have one for breakfast every day until it's so instilled in you that you gotta get up to eat something you can start diversifying.
It sounds like, from the lack of habit place, that must take forever. But really it doesn't take too long to form the habit once the discipline kicks in. the trick is that you have to give your brain something easy to become disciplined to. If it's too hard, think easier and smaller. No one has to know. Literally no one in the gd world has to know that for 4 weeks when you were 22 you had an ice cream sandwich for breakfast every day. who cares. If it gets you eating oatmeal with fresh fruit in a few months who cares. you did it, yay. smaller, easier. if you can't do it, think smaller and easier. smaller!! EASIER!!! You are not thinking smaller and easier enough. break your brain thinking how small and easy you can go. SMALLER. EVEN SMALLER, SIS.
Barty is extremely loud in bed with Evan, he is definitely a screamer, and not even on purpose. He just feels so safe and comfortable with Evan that he can't stop himself from expressing how incredibly good he feels with Evan showing him so much attention.
I've been thinking about this for a while, mostly because I went from the House MD fandom back into the Harry Potter fandom.
So I have really been thinking about Wilson in the Harry Potter universe. Specifically him being apart of the Marauders.
He would be a Muggle born wizard who somehow knew more than the entire student body combined. Was sorted into Gryffindor.
He was that person that was incredibly kind and sweet to all, was on first names bases with everyone.
Was the type to get away with everything, like this dude received the most detention slips out of anyone for being out of bed past curfew, but didn't attend a single one and never got called out on it.
Made friends with the House elves and that's how he learned to become such a fantastic cook. His specialty was chocolate cake and them pancakes. (You all know the ones)
Was the first person to befriend Remus and figue out he was a werewolf. Gave him his love for chocolate.
(I don't know if animagi and patronus' can be different but for this they can be but are usually the same.) (Also, also I just have to make dead poets society references. And I love the stories where Neil and Wilson are the same person.)
His animagus form is a brown peregrine falcon, his nickname being Perry or Peregrine. His patronus is a brown bear. (Because generally, he's cute and sweet, but can hurt you if provoked.)
Isn't someone who got made at anyone, would get annoyed and irritated at times but never mad. (Was the middle ground for the fifth year incident that I personally refuse to acknowledge.)
The "James" for Harry's middle name was for both Wilson and Potter, though no one was told otherwise.
He was made Neville's godfather, but Neville's grandmother refused to acknowledge that Wilson was a part of the family.
Dislikes Dumbledore, blames him for all the too young lives lost in the first wizarding war.
Told Remus about the change in secret keeper, and that he should also probably go into hiding for the time being.
(Not even 2 days after the Potter incident, the entire suburb that Remus and Sirius had been living in was all burnt down by Death Eaters.)
Was there when Sirius tracked down Pettigrew. He arrived late and turned everyone around, away from the scene before he approached. So no one actually saw him, only Sirius. Something that Wilson deeply regrets.
Tried to fight for Harry and Sirius, with Remus, but no one was going to believe or trust a werewolf and a wizard who was planning on leaving the wizarding world after the war. Especially since there was no proof that Pettigrew was alive.
Moved to America shortly after the funeral. He swore he would never come back.
Remus and Sirius asked him to come back, and he does, because he'd just had his first proper fight with House and seeing old friends could do him good.
He shows up in order of the phoenix as the new professor for defence against the dark arts. (Umbridge is just there, you know)
Umbridge is the first person that Wilson finds himself genuinely hating.
He gets sacked along with Trelawney, but Dumbledore does the whole they don't have to leave the grounds thing. Umbridge becomes the DADA professor from there.
When Bellatrix escapes Azkaban, Wilson builds up the courage to tell Neville about being his godfather, who promptly breaks down.
Wilson helps Harry teach Dumbledore's Army. And does cool, stylish escape by turning into his animagus form, just before Dumbledore does the thing with the phoenix.
In half blood prince, he returns as a guidance counsellor (lord knows Hogwarts needs one). He is genuinely happy for Snape for getting the position he always wanted.
After the battle of Hogwarts, Harry found Wilson standing in front of Remus' body, just staring with tears running down his face. Harry gave him a hug and all Wilson said was,
"I'm the only one left now."
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.
I am so sorry but Remus John Lupin was not a sex god. Bro had never even seen a dick until Sirius. He was genuinely a little bit afraid of it the first time (it’s okay, though, because Sirius was very sweet and patient, of course). He thought people kissing in books was wild and sexual. He turned into a tomato and hid his face whenever there was a kiss in movies. He took things so slowly with Sirius that Sirius had to ask if he ever wanted to have it or if he was asexual or something. Then, once he got a taste, he became the most insatiable thing ever, practically begging for it every night.
An actual need right here, guys
chat I've made a purchase-
OK, so I read this dead poets society fic a while ago. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, and it's a soulmate au where the longer you spend away from your soulmate once you find them the more irrational you feel (if u find it please leave a link for others to find, I don't remember how I found it the first time and I'd love to credit them.) In the fic Todd was getting extra anxious and Neil was getting angry?? Maybe frustrated something like that because Neil got himself locked up on the roof.
But can I possibly present it the other way round for you all...
Todd, who has finally found the first person to actually see him, to love him unconditionally, to actually want him for him and not some name he's supposed to live up to. So irrationally, he wants to desperately hold onto that love, letting himself be selfish for once in his life. He gets agitated beyond belief, wanting Neil back with him yesterday.
And Neil "I don't know how to process emotion, but at the same time, I feel everything way too deeply." Perry just shuts down, unsure of what to do with what he is currently feeling, so he shuts down and becomes dissociative and quiet. Neil is also used to not getting what he wants, with usually little protest from him, so he goes quiet.
Ok, my brain just went (aka like weeks ago) that Remus Lupin, while still being an incredible half blood, should be related to like every or some pureblood families.
Remus’ grandfather married a Prince
They had four kids
Lyall, Euphemia, Gomeisa and Augusta
Lyall marries a muggle woman
Euphemia marries a Potter
Gomeisa marries a Malfoy
Augusta marries a Longbottom
(Also, in this I picture, Remus is attending Hogwarts' younger like Barty may or may not have done, so instead, he's like a year or two younger.)
So, James, Lucius, Frank, Remus, and Severus are all related.
Before Lucius attends Hogwarts, Remus would spend all his time at Malfoy manor because Lyall wanted nothing to do with Remus after the bite, and Lucius forced his parents to take him in. So when Lucius started attending Hogwarts, Remus could only spend the holidays at the Malfoys. And because of how Lyall was treating Remus during the time between breaks, Dumbledore took pity on Remus and sent him to Hogwarts a couple years early.
James and Frank/ Euphemia and Augusta had no idea Remus existed since they had cut off contact with Lyall because of his world views. It wasn't until they heard his name being called that James and Frank looked at each other and went holy shit. (Because he spent the train ride with Lucius)
Remus, at first, really tried to have a good relationship with Snape, and so did James, but Severus wouldn't stop insulting Remus about his appearance and his subdued personality. James and Frank put their foot down because they couldn't bear to see Remus hurt.
When they found out about him being a werewolf and Lucius told them about how when he was with Lyall, Remus spent most of his time locked up in a silver cage. When it got back to Euphemia, she absolutely lost her shit at Lyall and took custody of Remus when they were in their 4th year.
That same year (4th year, Lucius' 7th year), Lucius had chosen to stick with his family for the war and told Remus over owl that he was no longer welcome at the Malfoys. Lucius hated having to do this because he genuinely loved Remus, and considered himself his big brother, but this disconnection from Remus soured Lucius' personality, and he was slowly turned into the person he is today.
Thinking about how Regulus would be obsessed with eating a trans remus out. If he was aloud too, he would spend hours between his thighs, and he's pretty sure he'd just have to ask, and Remus would let him spend hours down their.
I don't make the rules, but Barty gets spitroasted by Evan and Regulus in their dorm using their cock as a silencing charm.
And later in a Moonwater scenario, Evan gives them permission for Remus and Regulus to spitroast Barty while he watches.
And also Evan and Barty having sex in Evan’s bed with Regulus and Remus having sex in Regulus' bed, both of them leaving the curtains open for the other to watch.
