You can’t tell me that Remus wouldn’t lowkey enter stalking mode when he finds out his brother and best friend are on a date. After all, you gotta do what you gotta do to make your OTP sail

…This may have just been an excuse to draw Remus in a trenchcoat

where are the notes on this masterpiece

Good day everyone.

I am on here today to simply share some information I have recently come across again.

All the pictures and link below include information about MAP/NOMAPs and their "pride" flags which you should look out for.

As we are coming into a new generation of younger LGBTQ+ children I would love to put this warning out there.

WE DO NOT SUPPORT MAPs.

MAP stands for Minor Attracted Person AKA Pediphiles.

They have tried to force their way into our community by creating flags and pretending that they are one of us, but they're not. They're sick people who prey on innocent children and I will not stand for it.

If you are a MAP or support these vile people please unfollow and block me.

Feel free to share the post if you agree with what I am saying.

It also goes into details of Pedophile symbols to look out for.

Flags from the link above.: Trans, Non Binary, Lesbian, Gay, Pan, Bi, Genderqueer & Asexual

the nazi kink pedo flag was unfortunately made – futurism for young ladies

Posts about the nazi kink pedo flag was unfortunately made written by futurismforyoungladies

Flags from this article: Child Lover, Girl Lover, Boy Lover, Child & Boy Lover & Child and Girl Lover

More Flags from this article: (last flag) Masochist Flag

Please share this information and do your reasearch!

Do not trust anyone advocating with these flags.

THEY ARE PEDOPHILES!

Hey here’s a thought...

Since Remus’s birthday spans two days due to time zones and the late-night episode drop, and since he was introduced and gave his name in the same episode…I hope you can see where I’m going with this.

[randomslasher]

Make one day his birthday and one his name day?

[fanderfiction]

Remus has two birthdays because one was the day he split with Roman and the other was the first day he spent by himself. So his first "birthday" is actually the king's death day?

"Who I Love Is Not Your Choice" by Crystal Vibe

🌈In celebration of pride month I thought I'd do a little design and put it up on my redbubble and possibly my deviantart.

You can get; Stickers, Pins and Notebooks with the design on them.

All items are flat rate priced. No mark up.🌈

🌿 Symbolism: Ivy represents eternity, fidelity, and strong affectionate attachment, such as wedded love and friendship.

💰 Any money I make will go back into helping my mum who has cancer so that's cool.

💌 Shares are appreciated.

On Fanfiction

I was cruising through the net, following the cold trail of one of the periodic “Is or is not Fanfic the Ultimate Literary Evil?” arguments that crop up regularly, and I’m now bursting to make a point that I never see made by fic defenders.

We’re all familiar with the normal defenses of fic: it’s done out of love, it’s training, it’s for fun. Those are all good and valid defenses!

But they miss something. They damn with faint praise. Because the thing is, when you commit this particular Ultimate Literary Evil you’ve now told a story. And stories are powerful. The fact that it wasn’t in an original world or with original characters doesn’t necessarily make it less powerful to any given reader.

I would never have made this argument a few years ago. A few years ago I hadn’t received messages from people who were deeply touched by something I wrote in fanfic. So what if it’s only two or three or four people, and I used someone else’s world and characters? For those two or three or four people, I wrote something fucking important. You cannot tell me that isn’t a valid use of my time and expect me to feel chastened. I don’t buy it. I won’t feel ashamed. I will laugh when you call something that touches other people ‘literary masturbation.’ Apparently you’re not too up on your sex terminology.

Someone could argue that if I’d managed the same thing with original characters in an original world, it could’ve touched more people. They might be right! On the other hand, it might never have been accepted for publication, or found a market if self published, and more importantly I would never have written it because I didn’t realize I could write. The story wouldn’t have happened. Instead, thanks to fanfic being a thing, it did. And for two or three or four people it mattered. When we talk about defending fanfic, can we occasionally talk about that?

[lsbaird]

I once had an active serviceman who told me that my FF7 and FF8 fic helped get him through the war. That’ll humble you. People have told me my fanfic helped get them through long nights, through grief, through hard times. It was a solace to people who needed solace. And because it was fanfic, it was easier to reach the people who needed it. They knew those people already. That world was dear to them already. They were being comforted by friends, not strangers.

Stories are like swords. Even if you’ve borrowed the sword, even if you didn’t forge it yourself from ore and fire, it’s still your body and your skill that makes use of it. It can still draw blood, it can strike down things that attack you, it can still defend something you hold dear. Don’t get me wrong, a sword you’ve made yourself is powerful. You know it down to its very molecules, are intimate with its heft and its reach. It is part of your own arm. But that can make you hesitate to use it sometimes, if you’re afraid that swinging it too recklessly will notch the blade. Is it strong enough, you think. Will it stand this? I worked so hard to make it. A blade you snatched up because you needed a weapon in your hand is not prey to such fears. You will use it to beat against your foes until it either saves you or it shatters.

But whether you made that sword yourself or picked it up from someone who fell on the field, the fight you fight with it is always yours.

[roachpatrol]

Literary critics who sneer at fanfic are so infuriatingly shortsighted, because they all totally ignore how their precious literature, as in individual stories that are created, disseminated, and protected as commercial products, are a totally modern industrial capitalist thing and honestly not how humans have ever done it before like a couple centuries ago. Plus like, who benefits most from literature? Same dudes who benefit most from capitalism: the people in power, the people with privilege. There’s a reason literary canon is composed of fucking white straight dudes who write about white straight dudes fucking. 

Fanfiction is a modern expression of the oral tradition—for the rest of us, by the rest of us, about the rest of us—and I think that’s fucking wonderful and speaks to a need that absolutely isn’t being met by the publishing industry. The need to come together as a close community, I think, and take the characters of our mythology and tell them getting drunk and married and tricked and left behind and sent to war and comforted and found again and learning the lessons that every generation learns over and over. It’s wonderful. I love it. I’m always going to love it. 

[kyraneko]

Stories are fractal by nature. Even when there’s just one version in print, you have it multiplied by every reader’s experience of it in light of who they are, what they like, what they want. And then many people will put themselves in the place of the protagonist, or another character, and spend a lot of time thinking about what they’d do in that character’s place. Or adjusting happenings so they like the results better.

That’s not fic yet, but it is a story.

But the best stories grow. This can happen in the language of capitalism—a remake of a classic movie, a series of books focusing on what happened afterwards or before—or it can happen in the language of humanity. Children playing with sticks as lightsabers, Jedi Princess Leia saving Alderaan by dueling Vader; a father reading his kids The Hobbit as a bedtime story as an interactive, “what would you like to happen next?” way so that the dwarves win the wargs over with doggie biscuits that they had in their pockets and ride to Erebor on giant wolves, people writing and sharing their ideas for deleted outtake scenes from Star Trek and slow-build fierce and tender romance with startling bursts of hot sex between Hawkeye and Agent Coulson.

A story at its most successful is a fully developed fractal, retold a million times and a million ways, with stories based on stories based on stories. Fanfic of fanfic of fanfic. Stories based on headcanons, stories based on prompts, stories that put the Guardians of the Galaxy in a coffee-shop AU and stories where the Transformers are planet-wandering nomads and stories where characters from one story are placed into a world from another. Stories that could be canon, stories that are the farthest thing from canon, stories that are plausible, stories that would never happen, stories that give depth to a character or explore the consequences of one different plot event or rewrite the whole thing from scratch.

This is what stories are supposed to be.

This is what stories are.

[wrangletangle]

Fandom and fan creations are a communal act. They do not disguise how they are influenced by each other. They revel in it.

Literature was once a communal act, too. Film as well. It’s only once we decided to extend and expand the idea of copyright and turn stories into primarily vehicles for profit that we rejected this communal structure. The literary canon shouldn’t be all dead white men. They didn’t build the novel. They didn’t build theater. They took what was already there and said “This is mine now,” and we believed them.

Creativity is communal. There is no such thing as the lone genius on a mountaintop. Ideas are passed around, handed back and forth, growing all the time. Fandom is what human creativity looks like in its normal form. Fandom is like this because humans are like this.

We didn’t just borrow the sword. We remade it because we saw in it the potential for something better. And we did that together, all of us.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Language learner: I am struggling with this grammar thing because it’s not a concept that exists in my native language.

Native speaker: Lol it’s super easy you’re just a crybaby

[virtualbagel]

You can say english speakers it’s okay

[what-even-is-thiss]

No, actually this is directed at the entire human race and I genuinely mean that from the bottom of my soul.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Everybody saying that their native language is exempt: none of you are free of sin.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m a native English speaker and wrote this about people that make fun of me for using the wrong version of der/die/das in German or el/la/los/las in Spanish. Everybody just reblogging the English speaker version of this is totally missing the point.

[pennypandora]

Specifically in regards to the above, I think people who speak other languages forget or don’t realise that the English language evolved to use natural gender. Meaning, the English language doesn’t arbitrarily (and I speak other languages it is arbitrary) assign inanimate objects a gender.

The English language only genders living things, like people, animals, insects, some plants. Basically, if it has a sex English will gender it otherwise the noun has no gender.

Here’s a link on grammatical gender for y’all to read before those who’s native language is gendered can point the finger at English speakers. I learned a gendered language at a young age and am used to inanimate objects being gendered in languages like that. But when I started to learn it, as a native English speaker, it came as a huge shock.

You’d think a dress would be feminine because it’s worn by women? Wrong! Neuter then? Wrong! It’s masculine! That kind of shit makes no sense to an English speaker. We all just need to be fucking kinder to those learning another language. Because OP’s right, some rules just don’t exist in other languages and it can be difficult to wrap your head around.

[stop-it-anxiety-deactivated2022]

This is a piece directly inspired by art and the accompanying short fic synopsis by @strawberryjellystuff. Once again, thank you for letting me write it, Jelly!

Characters: Roman, Deceit (who is called Damien). Feat. a brief moment with Logan as Deceit’s father!

****

“Long ago, the moon was much larger. It covered the whole sky, and the nighttime was even brighter than the day.”

Damien stared up at his father wide eyed in amazement, and the king smiled.

“It’s true, little one.”

Logan brushed a stray curl back into place behind the little boy’s ear before continuing.

“The sun grew jealous of the moon, and struck out. The blow shattered the moon into pieces, and those pieces were scattered all over the sky, and we called them stars. The man in the moon was split into many pieces, and each star has a part of him in it.”

The two royals looked up at the night sky.

“When you wish on the brightest stars, the moon can hear you. And if your wish is of worthy intentions, he may even grant you your wish.”

The eight year old prince shot to his feet and ran to the railing. He raked his eyes over the countless stars, searching for the brightest of them all. One particular star, the Northern Star, caught his eye.

Logan joined his son at the railing, and whispered.

“It’s just a story, Damien. It’s not real.”

Damien closed his eyes and wished anyway.

Star light, star light, brightest star I see tonight, grant me a wish, by dawn’s first light.

I wish to not be alone.

I wish this wish with all my might.

That night, the moon seemed to shine a little brighter.

Damien dreamed of a boy made of light. While he slept, he played and laughed and danced with the Northern Star.

***

When the prince had woken up that first morning, he was disappointed to see his wish had not been answered. He longed for the companionship of another boy, like the one from his dreams.

So that night, he wished again.

Star light, star light, brightest star I see tonight, grant me a wish, by dawn’s first light.

I wish to not be alone.

I wish this wish with all my might.

Again he dreamt of those stars in the form of a boy. For twelve years, this cycle went on.

The boy grew alongside the prince, and they became best friends. It never once occurred to Damien to ask for the boy’s name.

He woke up every morning and was disappointed that the dream refused to join him in the waking world. He went to sleep hoping it would work this time.

It never did.

On the eve of his twenty-first birthday, Damien decided to try one last time. If this wish went unanswered, he would never wish on a star again.

“Star light, star light, brightest star I see tonight, grant me a wish, by dawn’s first light.

I wish.... I wish to dance with the boy made of stars, for real.”

Please.

“I wish this wish with all my might.”

Damien waited, his eyes still squeezed shut.

One minute passed.

Then two.

By the tenth minute, his shoulders sagged in defeat. He turned to go inside, and froze. There, in his room, was a man.

Could it be? Was his wish finally answered?

“Your Highness? I have your tea.”

The prince’s heart dropped. He turned back to the railing and fought back his tears.

“Just... just leave it on the nightstand, please.”

“As you wish, my Lord. Do you desire anything more?”

Damien shook his head and the servant’s footsteps retreated, followed by the thud of his door.

As soon as the door shut behind the servant, the prince took a shaky breath in. Then, the tears began to fall, unbidden and unwanted. He fell to his knees and cried his heart out.

How foolish of him to believe in wishing stars.

He did not dream of the star boy that night.

But in the early hours of the morning, just before dawn, Damien was roused from his slumber by a blinding light.

“Good morning, Prince Damien.”

Hovering just outside his bedroom window was a man dressed in royal clothes. A prince’s uniform, with a sash of pure gold and a crown of lively stars. In his eyes were the cosmos, and Damien felt his heart ache.

“Am I dreaming? Please tell me I am not dreaming.”

The man offered a lopsided smile, as well as his hand.

“Come and find out, my love.”

So Damien rose from his bed and made his way over, his pulse racing with anticipation. He took the offered hand.

“Do you trust me, my Prince?”

“I don’t even know your name.”

“Forgive me. It’s been eons since I have needed a name. I am the angel of the Northern Star, but for you, I will be Roman. It is much simpler, no?”

Roman bowed deeply, and kissed the knuckles of the prince before him. Damien could feel his face burning but could not tear his eyes away.

“Y-yes, that’s... I like it.”

Roman chuckled softly and drew the blushing prince into an all too familiar position— it seemed they were about to waltz. The angel’s wings stretched to their full potential, and the two of them rose into the sky.

The castle was so far beneath them, and if he had looked down, the prince would have been terrified. It was only the angel’s breathtaking eyes that kept him looking up.

Roman began to sing. His voice filled the night with beautiful melodies, and Damien could feel his soul singing with the angel in his arms.

I'm trying to hold my breath

Let it stay this way

Can't let this moment end

You set off a dream in me

Getting louder now

Can you hear it echoing?

Take my hand

Will you share this with me?

As sunrise reached out over the horizon, Roman slowly lowered their dance back down to the prince’s balcony. Leaning in close, the angel pressed a soft kiss to Damien’s forehead.

“You have waited so long for me, my love. I promise you I will return to you tonight.”

The prince blinked, and Roman was gone.

In his hand was a moonflower.

***

Roman was true to his word. Each morning, before the sun made its appearance, he would fly down to Damien’s balcony and offer his hand. They would dance until the sun rose, and the angel would leave a moonflower behind as proof that it was real.

For two weeks and five days, Roman and Damien shared the night sky. The prince had obtained twenty flowers.

“My love, I have a gift for you.”

“A gift?”

“Yes.”

The moonflowers flew into the angel’s palm, swirling and spinning and glowing until Roman smiled. And there, floating over his hand, was a crown of stars, almost identical to his own. He placed it gingerly on Damien’s head.

“I promise you we will see each other again.”

“You’re leaving?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Roman wrapped an arm around the prince, pressing him up and in so they were as close as possible. Damien gasped softly at the movement, his fingers instinctively tightening their grip on the angel’s jacket.

“Will you allow me this honor, my love?”

“What do you m— oh. Oh!”

The prince blushed fiercely, and Roman smiled. The star’s wings cocooned themselves around the two.

“May I?”

“Yes.”

Roman tasted of starshine and moonbeams. A feeling of serenity and joy flooded every inch of Damien’s body. The world seemed to spin and he couldn’t help but laugh into the kiss.

The angel pulled back just enough to whisper, his lips brushing Damien’s as he spoke.

“I will wait for you, my prince. I will wait for you for as long as I must,” Roman backed away. Rising into the air, he hovered over the railing, wings beating to keep him airborne.

“When it comes time for you to join me in the stars, all of the cosmos will rejoice with me.”

And the Northern Star disappeared into the night, leaving a prince and his crown of stars behind.
