Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

[frodo-of-the-nine-fingers]

immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand

[ninewheels]

#at least once a month I think about that one post about laminating a paper towel#and how that makes it immortal but also forever prevents it from fulfilling its true purpose#yes you will live. but at the cost of everything that makes you You

​"I think Mary thinks we're sleeping together."

​"We are sleeping together," Sirius mumbled, his chin hooked lazily over Remus's shoulder. They were on the common room sofa, and despite the fact that they were the only ones sitting on it, Sirius was pressed practically into Remus's lap.

​"We share a dormitory," Remus corrected, trying to ignore the solid warmth of Sirius against his side. "That is not the same thing."

​"She asked me how long we've been in love."

​Remus stopped breathing. The crackle of the fireplace suddenly sounded very far away. "And what did you say?"

​Sirius shifted, finally dropping his feet from the coffee table to turn and face Remus completely. He didn't hesitate. "I told her since second year."

​Remus's heart slammed against his ribs. "You lied."

​"Did I?" Sirius asked softly. His hand moved up, his thumb brushing over a faint scar on Remus's cheek. "Tell me I lied, Moony, and I'll go tell Mary she was wrong."

Remus stared at him, the silence roaring in his ears. The weight of it was too much. Sirius was too close, too warm, and looking at him like that.

The fight completely drained out of him. With a shaky exhale, Remus just let his head drop forward, burying his face in the crook of Sirius's neck.

He felt Sirius’s breath catch before both arms wrapped around him, holding him tight against the cushions.

"Mary is entirely too nosy."

The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

The Mary Shelley Method: Remus Lupin and the Gothic Soul

If Mary Shelley took on the story of Remus Lupin, she would not be writing a generic werewolf adventure. She would be writing a Gothic masterpiece about the horror of being "other," the cruelty of a society that creates monsters out of frightened children, and the crushing isolation of the human heart.

Shelley was the master of the "monstrous creation." For her, Remus would not just be a man who transforms once a month; he would be a living, breathing testament to the pain of existing in a world that refuses to understand him.

The Shelley Blueprint for Your Fic

1. The Horror of the "Unnatural" Body

Shelley’s writing focuses on the visceral, physical reality of pain. She wouldn't gloss over the transformation. She would make it slow, deliberate, and deeply uncomfortable. The focus would be on the transition from "human" to "beast"—the tearing of skin, the loss of self, and the terrifying realization that his own body is a traitor.

Writer Tip: Describe the physical toll. Don't just say he was in pain. Describe the way his bones ache, the cold sweat on his brow, and the feeling of his own humanity slipping away as the moon rises.

2. The Isolation of the Outcast

In Frankenstein, the monster is essentially good but becomes "evil" because he is rejected by everyone he meets. Remus’s tragedy is that he is forced into a life of loneliness to protect others. Shelley would focus on the quiet, dusty silence of his life. The way he watches people through windows, the way he flinches when someone gets too close, and the constant, dull ache of wanting to be known but being too afraid to show his true self.

Writer Tip: Lean into the loneliness. Use sensory details to show how he separates himself from the rest of the world—the smell of old books in an empty room, the sound of his own breathing in the dark.

3. The Arrogance of the "Creator" (Dumbledore as Victor Frankenstein)

Shelley was always suspicious of those who play god—the men who think they can control nature or fix "monsters" without consequences. In a Shelley-style story, Albus Dumbledore wouldn't be a saintly mentor. He would be the "Victor Frankenstein" figure—the man who decides that Remus’s life is a social experiment or a tool to be used, regardless of the suffering it causes.

Writer Tip: Create a tension between Remus and his mentor. Is he being helped, or is he being managed? Explore the power imbalance between the boy who is "different" and the man who thinks he knows what is best for him.

4. The Melancholy of the Sublime

Shelley loved the "sublime"—those moments in nature that are both beautiful and terrifying. Remus would find peace in the dark, dangerous places of the world. The woods, the moonlight, the storms. These are the places where he doesn't have to be a "broken boy." He can just be a force of nature.

Writer Tip: Use the environment to reflect his internal state. When he is human, make the world feel cramped and judgmental. When he is "other," make the world feel vast, wild, and oddly free.

The TL;DR for Your Next Fic

Focus on the soul, not just the fur. His wolf side is just a metaphor for the parts of himself he is taught to hate.

Make the tragedy intellectual. Remus should be thinking about his condition, analyzing it, and grieving for his own life.

Use the Gothic atmosphere. Keep the shadows long, the houses creaky, and the emotions big, raw, and desperate.

Since Shelley’s work is all about the line between man and monster, do you prefer to write Remus as someone who is fighting his nature every step of the way, or as someone who is slowly accepting that the "monster" is a part of him that he can’t ever truly kill?
