Bad writing means you took the time to write something, you, a real human being. It means you created something! And you have the awareness to see that there's room for improvement, too!!!
Bad writing is wonderful!!! Bad writing is a platform from which you can build your masterpiece! Bad writing is the backbone of good writing!
Give yourself permission to write badly. No, actually- give yourself permission to write something TERRIBLE. Give yourself permission to write such drivel that you can barely read it.
Nothing comes out a masterpiece the first time!! You think Isaac Asimov never wrote a total stinker he had to rebuild from the ground up? You think Jules Verne never wrote utter slop for a first draft?
WRITE SOMETHING AWFUL!!! Write something so bad you cringe about it years later!!! And then when that's done, write some more!!!!!
Actually you SHOULD make problematic content. You SHOULD explore dark or taboo topics. You SHOULD have a space where you can cope with your traumas or explore sensitive topics in a way that doesn't hurt anyone.
Also you should make problematic content for funsies. You don't need to have had trauma or need to be coping in order to explore dark creativity. You can just be a human who wants to explore dark and taboo topics because you want to. That's completely normal, btw.
Every single person on this planet thinks about dark and taboo things. It's literally the most normal thing in the world.
considering the state of the world in general, the new hbo reboot, and the horrifying anti-trans bills being passed in my state - it feels more important than ever to support fics written by, for and about trans characters.
in no particular order, here is an updated list of my favorite trans sirius and trans remus fic recs! some of these were posted in the last few weeks, some are from over 10 years ago and this is not an exhaustive list! if i've added one from from any author, just assume that i recommend all of their works <3333

Whatever Words I Say by orphan_account
trans sirius. from ao3: "When Remus Lupin is hired to control the antics of famous lead singer of the Marauders, Sirius Black, he knows he has his work cut out for him. Sirius is contrary and has absolutely no chill, and loves pissing off the press. Remus feels up to the challenge, but he certainly does not expect to fall head over heels in love from the moment he meets the charismatic singer."

trans sirius. from ao3: "The upcoming marriage of his brother, the looming 14th birthday of his godson, and the blinding career successes of his friends are all leaving 33-year-old Sirius Black feeling old, unfulfilled, and listless. Maybe enrolling in college will help. OR - Sirius gets himself into a kinky relationship with Remus Lupin—his professor." perhaps the hottest fic i've ever read, maybe even the hottest fic to ever exist.

stoners verse by @moon-seas
trans sirius. basically sirius is obsessed with his dirtbag stoner boyfriend and i am obsessed with both of them <3
and a lil self-sec:
you wouldn't like me by @c0ffinrehearsal
trans sirius. It’s 2005 and Sirius Black is trying to figure out his gender, their brother, and his new crush. strangers to lovers, trans joy & y2k aesthetics.
Regulus and Sirius are very angelic but in very different ways.
Sirius is the type of angelic where everyone finds him beautiful in a way they can't look away because they need to soak him up. Regulus is beautiful in a way that no one can stare at him for too long because they get the creeps.
When regulus was little he could not pronounce his Rs and had a slight stutter. Walburga did not ever comment on it but Regulus felt she hated that he could not speak the same as his brother so he stayed quiet almost all of the time.
Of course, as he got older he worked on his pronunciation but he never grew out of being silent. But just as when he was little, he would talk Sirius' ears off.
(James and all of Regulus' friends think his stutter is adorable but they never mentions it because he knows Regulus hates it) (When he is talking and stutters or mispronounces anything he will just shut up until he feels like he can talk again)
hc that one time, sirius accidentally spills a love potion on himself and as he’s going to his dorm to change, james is on his way out. he casually says “oh, you’re wearing regulus’ perfume today!” and leaves. sirius stands in the doorway for the next forty five minutes trying to process that information.
Barty and Evan are very loud with their love for each other in their own privacy. They don't like to display their relationship too much in public because of the way they were raised and Evan is generally a more private person and Barty is very happy to go along with it, but their love for each other doesn't go unnoticed.
When they sit beside each other they sit close enough to touch arms. When they sit across from each other they always tangle their legs together under the tables. Anytime one of them hands something to the other they always let their fingers touch for a second too long. They have such soft looks in their eyes when they look at each other and small smiles grow onto their faces without them being aware it's happening. Barty always seems less tense and quiet with Evan near him and Evan becomes more willing to talk freely as he would inside of their dorm room as well as more hyper if Barty is around because they both just feel so much more safe to be themselves as long as they have each other.
When they're alone or with their closest friends, they're much more "annoying" about their love for each other. It's constantly touching whenever they get the chance. It's kisses every single second, even mindless ones like a kiss on the hand when they're sitting together with their finger intertwined. It's constantly calling each other pet names. Laying in each others laps instead of right beside each other like they do in public. Constantly talking sweet to each other and calling each other pet names that all their friends find obnoxious...
"Regulus Black but IF he had Sirius's music taste bla bla-" HE DOES. SIRIUS RAN AWAY AND LEFT ALL OF HIS VINYLS SO WHEN REGULUS MISSED HIM HE WOULD GO TO SIRIUS'S ROOM AND LISTEN TO ALL HIS MUSIC BECAUSE IT REMINDED HIM OF HIS BROTHER. but if you ask him, he will NEVER admit it out loud. thats the end if this ted talk, goodnight
