Happy New Year!
Remus and Nymphadora for you guys!
Yeah! I know, most of you prefer wolfstar... but admit they're cute together
The old shy, sarcastic, grumpy man and the young full of life and endlessly clumsy girl.
Remus x Dora

āBecause thatās how relationships work. If itās a good one, you let loose. You show all sides of yourself.ā
Premise: Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. Itās such a clichĆ©, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brotherās best friend and the girl he never even knew existed.Ā But not everything is as it seemsāand clichĆ©s sometimes become plot twists. When Mayaās brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needsāeven if itās a problematic one.

Things About Remus Lupin That Fandom Keeps Forgetting
We talk a lot about Remus Lupinās kindness. And yes, heās kind. Devastatingly kind. Gentle. Wise. A quiet anchor in a chaotic world. But what we donāt talk about enough is how much pain he holds under that surface. How much control it takes to look kind, when so much has been taken from you.
Remus Lupin is not just kind. Heās flawed, heās hilarious, and heās deeply sad. And he wraps all that mess in a threadbare cardigan and a polite smile like a bomb disguised as a paperback novel.
Letās talk about the coldness.
That icy, polite coldness when heās suppressing something monstrous inside him, like when he wants to kill Peter ā or rather spare him the Dementor's Kiss ā but wonāt let himself feel it too loudly, so it comes out sharp, flat. Or when he leaves Tonks during her pregnancy, fully convinced that being noble means being cruel to himself. Thatās how he survives the unspeakable: by shutting the door between his heart and his face. You donāt make it to 38 as a werewolf in the wizarding world without mastering that mask.
And the dry humour. Merlin, itās lethal.
"No one is hiding Sirius Black under their cloaks. Move along."
"Mr MoonyĀ presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
"Wadiwasi!" ā casually shooting gum into Peevesā nose.
āI thought āThe Chosen Oneā would be enough for you.ā
āNot a very popular guest at dinner parties.ā
And when young Remus, talking about a question on a DADA test on how to identify a werewolf, quips:
āOne: heās sitting in my chair. Two: heās wearing my clothes. Three: his name is Remus Lupin.ā Thatās not just humour; thatās pain disguised as punchline. Thatās a kid surviving shame with wit.
And while weāre here... can we PLEASE talk about how absurdly powerful he is?
This man cast a Patronus and conjured flames with his bare hands at the same time without a wand or words. Two advanced spells. Simultaneously. Silently. In control. While barely awaken.
Letās be clear: the Patronus charm is hard. Itās fueled by happy memories. And Remus? Remus doesnāt have a bank of golden moments to draw from. His life is loss layered on loss. And yet he does it. Effortlessly. Thatās not just skill. Thatās willpower. Thatās raw, terrifying strength.
And letās talk about how Remus Lupin always knows what to say.
And no, not in the āmanipulative Slytherinā fanon kind of way. Iām talking about deep, strategic empathy, the kind you only learn when you've spent a lifetime navigating how people fear you, reject you, or pity you.
He doesn't just speak well ā he listens first. Then he shifts your perspective with a sentence.
Examples? Letās go:
To Snape in Prisoner of Azkaban: "You fool... is a schoolboy grudge worth putting an innocent man back in Azkaban?" ā Not āyouāre wrong.ā Not āstop.ā He reframes the stakes. Makes Snape look in a mirror. Thatās surgical.
To Harry when he catches him with the Marauderās Map:
āYour parents gave their lives to keep you alive, Harry. A poor way to repay them ā gambling their sacrifice for a bag of tricks.ā ā He doesnāt yell. He doesnāt shame. He brings Harryās own values into sharp focus and holds them up like a compass.
To Molly, when she breaks down over her Boggart: āWhat would we do to your kids if anything happened to you? Let them starve?ā - Itās funny. Itās tender. Itās so smart. He doesnāt dismiss her fear, he includes himself in the imaginary consequence, showing her that sheās not alone, and never has been.
Remus uses humour as a balm. He uses language as a bridge. He doesnāt control people; he guides them. Thatās leadership, not manipulation.
And the irony? Most of the time, he canāt offer himself the same grace.
He knows exactly how to make other people feel worthy, safe, seen. But when it comes to himself, that voice is silent. That wisdom doesnāt reach inward. Thatās what makes him so devastating.
Heās not flawless. He screws up. He leaves. He represses. But when you zoom out, Remus Lupin is the person everyone turns to when they need to understand something painful. And he always delivers. Quietly. Calmly. Sharply.
Remus doesn't just fight darkness. He translates it. And then he hands you the map.
Remus Lupin is not soft. He is sharp. Controlled. Bitingly funny. Brutally intelligent. Crushingly lonely. And yes, kind. But in the way a steel blade is kind when it spares a life.
He's the kind of man who apologizes for existing and still manages to save everyone else.
He burns quietly. But make no mistake: he burns.
Remus John Lupin was never just a cardigan and a sad smile. He was a storm wrapped in gentleness.
Well said!
Tonks is Neurodivergent and I Will Die on This Hill
aka: Why the pink-haired Auror is ADHD-coded, chaotic, and criminally underrated.
So hereās the thing: when we talk about neurodivergent rep in the Harry Potter universe, everyoneās like:
āLuna is autistic!ā
āNewt Scamander is clearly ND!ā
āNeville = ADHD-coded cinnamon roll!ā
And theyāre right! Those characters are soft, introverted, and nonconforming in beautiful ways.
BUT WHERE. IS. TONKS. IN. THIS. CONVERSATION??
Seriously, how are we not talking about the fact that Nymphadora freaking Tonks is practically a walking, tripping, hair-dyeing ADHD poster child??
Letās take a quick tour of the neurodivergent chaos weāve been sleeping on:
1. Constantly changing her appearance = dopamine-chasing queen.
Sheās not just āquirky.ā Her brain craves novelty like a Niffler craves shiny stuff.
New hair? New look? New vibe every Tuesday? Thatās called self-stimulating with style, darling.
Metamorphmagus? More like Metamor-fidget.
2. Hyperfixation in romance? BABY. SHE INVENTED IT.
Tonks doesnāt just āloveā Remus. She hyperfixates. She spirals.
And when he rejects her? She doesnāt just get sad. She loses her magic (literally). Even her Patronus changed! Thatās not melodrama. Thatās Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and it hits like a ton of bricks made of feelings.
3. Clumsy?? Try executive dysfunction with a side of chaos.
She crashes into everything. Breaks things just by existing.
Thatās not āfunny girlā energy. Thatās poor spatial awareness + overexcitability + āwhy is there a chair there, I swear it wasnāt 3 seconds ago.ā
4. Emotionally intense? Stubborn? Loud? Relatable? Check.
ADHD isnāt just āsquirrel!ā ā itās also being passionately devoted to your cause (Order of the Phoenix, hello), getting loud when feeling people are being unfair (Remus, baby, Iām looking at you), and loving with your entire soul, loudly, unapologetically.
5. She loves kids. You know why? Because theyāre chaotic too.
Tonks fits in with teenagers and kids because she doesnāt have to mask around them. Theyāre weird. Sheās weird. The energy matches.
Sheās not trying to be a role model ā she is one, just by being real.
6. Sheās dismissed by fans the way ND women often are IRL.
Some people say Tonks is āimmature", ātoo much.ā
Sound familiar? Yeah ā because neurodivergent women often get those exact labels when theyāre not quiet, polite, or performing āacceptableā struggles.
So hereās my hot pink hill to die on: Tonks is deeply neurodivergent-coded. Sheās messy. Sheās emotional. Sheās clumsy. Sheās intense. Sheās loving. Sheās chaotic. She is not less than Luna, Newt, or Neville ā she is right there with them. And that's what makes them all so special.
And honestly? Sheās the only one who could trip over her own boots while chasing a Death Eater and still look cool doing it.
So if youāre loud, colorful, emotionally intense, messy, stubborn, impulsive, and feel too much all the time? You might just see yourself in Tonks ā like I do!
And you deserve to.
Love,
Your neighborhood fandom auntie,
Mrs. Lupin

40 Lines Isnāt Love: Why Remus Watching Sirius Wasnāt W*lfstar
Letās talk about Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and fandom rewriting canon beyond recognition.
Youāve probably heard the argument:
āRemus and Sirius were in love! In Order of the Phoenix, Remus spends 40 lines looking at Sirius!ā
Iām sorry, but are we really using āhe looked at himā as undeniable proof of a romantic relationship?
Letās be real for a second. Remus spends a lot of time watching Sirius in OotP, not because heās in love, but because he knows exactly what Sirius is like when heās unstable. Sirius was isolated, bitter, reckless, and emotionally stuck in his teenage mindset. Remus wasnāt looking at him with longing, he was monitoring him!!
He was watching for signs of escalation. And when Sirius does snapā at Molly, at Snape āRemus steps in. He de-escalates. Thatās not romantic tension, for Merlin's sake! Thatās damage control from someone whoās seen this behavior before.
And letās not forget: Sirius already had a deep, emotional attachment with someone: James. They were inseparable. Teachers, classmates, and even Madam Rosmerta commented on it. Sirius and James were so close they invented two-way mirrors just to talk when they were in detention. Remus was never part of that picture. Not in that inner circle, not in that mirror.
But somehow, fandom decided Remus was Sirius's great love?š¤Æš¤š³
Letās also address how the fandom rewrites Sirius into a character thatās... just not who he is in the books.
Canon Sirius was:
⢠A rebellious pureblood who rejected his familyās values.
⢠A bad boy with long hair and a motorcycle.
⢠Someone who decorated his room with bikini posters.
⢠The kind of popular, impulsive, āalphaā type who ignored the girl swooning over him.
⢠The living stereotype of the '70s rock-and-roll rebel.
But in many fanfics, heās rewritten as a soft, flamboyant, eyeliner-wearing, queer-coded prince. Which is fine as an AU, but itās not canon Sirius. And when people push this as fact and then bully anyone who disagrees? Thatās where it becomes a problem.
Letās be honest:
You can love your ships. But donāt gaslight people about canon.
Not everything has to be romance. Concern, grief, and friendship exist too.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this has full Remadora's first kiss potential! š¬š¬š¬ I totally see it happening the first time they meet after that Pottermore scene in which Tonks makes her feelings clear when Remus supposes she had fallen for Sirius.
In Defense of Remus Lupin: Misunderstood, Not a Coward
Thereās a recurring pattern in fandom that deeply saddens me: the tendency to vilify Remus Lupin for the lowest moment of his life ā leaving Tonks during her pregnancy ā while ignoring the lifetime of pain, sacrifice, and silent heroism that led him there.
Letās be clear: Remus Lupin is not a coward. He is a man shaped by a society that taught him to hate himself.
A Life of Stigma and Loss
Remus was bitten as a child and spent his life being treated like a dangerous outcast. Even when he did everything right ā got an education, made friends, joined the Order ā he lived in fear of being discovered and rejected. His trauma wasnāt just physical; it was systemic, emotional, and constant.
His self-control wasnāt just about keeping others safe ā it was about trying to hold on to his humanity. When he calls himself a ācreature,ā itās not metaphor. Itās how he sees himself. And thatās tragic.
The War, Grief, and a Crumbling Mind
By the time Deathly Hallows opens, Remus has:
⢠Lost his only connection to his teenage years, Sirius;
⢠Lost his mentor and father figure (Dumbledore);
⢠Been shamed into a relationship he didnāt think he deserved;
⢠Been shamed publicly and privately for not accepting that relationship sooner;
⢠Been forced to live under constant threat, while society still devalues his existence.
When he tries to leave Tonks, it isnāt out of neglect. Itās because he believes he is hurting her by being near (and, let's face it, he was right!). He thinks that loving him will destroy her (and it did!) That Teddy will grow up ashamed. That the best gift he can give them is his absence.
Itās heartbreaking, but itās not cowardice. Itās despair.
The Scene We Should All Re-Read
āLupin actually seized handfuls of his own hair; he looked quite deranged.ā
ā Deathly Hallows, Chapter 11
In this scene, Lupin doesnāt speak like a man who made a rational choice. He speaks like someone in the midst of a mental breakdown. Everything he says is steeped in self-loathing:
āI made a grave mistake in marrying Tonksā¦ā
āEven her own family is disgusted by our marriageā¦ā
āIt will be better off⦠without a father of whom it must always be ashamed.ā
This is not someone running from responsibility. This is someone convinced that his very presence is the danger.
Everyone Else Broke, Too
The wizarding world was collapsing. People we admire made horrific choices under stress: Harry used Unforgivable Curses. Dumbledore lied for years. Ron abandoned his friends. Even Hermione nearly erased herself from existence.
Remus had one breakdown (after a long period of pressure) and for that, fandom calls him a coward?
And Hereās Whatās Strange
Fandom often bends over backward to redeem characters like Sirius Black ā who was reckless, emotionally manipulative, and treated both Remus and Harry poorly ā and Severus Snape, who bullied children, held lifelong grudges, and only switched sides out of unrequited love.
But Remus? The man who spent his life protecting others, who carried his burdens in silence, who came back to face the consequences of his worst moment ā he is the one people wonāt forgive?
It says something sad about how fandom defines strength and worth.
But He Came Back
Thatās the part people forget: Remus came back.
He returned to Tonks. He held his baby in his arms. He fought and died for a better world ā not for glory, but so that Teddy could live in a better world, and free from the shame Remus carried all his life.
And that⦠is not cowardice. That is strength.
YEEEEEES!!! SO MUCH YEEEEEES!!!
I can't stop thinking about how protective Dora is of Remus. In Half-Blood Prince, she runs herself ragged from worry, desperately trying to get news of his well-being. In Deathly Hallows, she runs into battle soon after having her baby just to look for Remus and make sure he's ok. The last time we see her alive, we see her throwing herself into the fray to get to him. She's so single-minded about it too, even putting Teddy aside:
Harry looked at Tonks. āI thought you were supposed to be with Teddy at your motherās?ā āI couldnāt stand not knowingā ā Tonks looked anguished. āSheāll look after himāhave you seen Remus?ā āHe was planning to lead a group of fighters into the groundsā ā Without another word, Tonks sped off.
āHave you seen Remus?ā Tonks called after him. āHe was dueling Dolohov,ā shouted Aberforth, āhavenāt seen him since!ā āTonks,ā said Ginny, āTonks, Iām sure heās okayā ā But Tonks had run off into the dust after Aberforth.
(Isn't it a bit heartbreaking that Remus was probably already dead when that last conversation happened?).
Dora's love is admirable, intimidating and scary. It's strong, it's stubborn, it's a force of nature. I can't imagine what it must have been like for Remus, who's so self-deprecating and who believes (sometimes with good reason) that he's a threat to his loved ones, to be on the other side of it. No wonder Dora was Moody's protƩgƩ if this is what she was capable of.
I donāt know why but I have this Headcanon that Sirius was Remadoraās (Remus and Tonks) number one shipper. He was definitely Jilyās (James and Lilyās) number one shipper for sure so I donāt know why he couldnāt have been Remadoraās number one shipper as well. It just seems on character for him if you know what I mean. I just know Remus talked a lot about Tonks to Sirius and he totally got Remus to realize how much he truly loved Tonks. Plus I think Tonks talked to him about Remus too.
Point is Sirius for sure played matchmaker for them and supported them one hundred percent no questions asked. And would have been so thrilled to see them together at last. Probably would have been Best Man at their wedding. But sadly he died before he could. Yeah so that is why I have this headcanon. And now I canāt get over it.
A Court Of Thorns and Roses- Velaris, City of Starlight I am literally sobbing at this- I am so proud of it. I needed to make sure I did this place justice because it was written so beautifully.
Beautiful!!!
THE BALLAD OF NEVER AFTER
a comic adaptation of āthe endā
I have a new obsession.
Attention! Spoiler alert!
Why Remus and Tonks Make a Better Pair than Remus and Sirius. I donāt hate Wolfstar but I just donāt see it š¤·āāļø I am an avid shipper of Remus and Tonks so hereās why:
Remus and Tonks make a great couple because their relationship is built on mutual respect, growth, and healing, in contrast to Remus and Siriusās more complicated dynamic.
Remus and Tonks balance each other outāTonksās bright, bubbly personality complements Remusās more reserved and often self-deprecating nature. She helps him come to terms with his insecurities about being a werewolf, and he, in turn, gives her a grounding presence. Their love is one of acceptance, showing how they both evolve together.
On the other hand, Remus and Siriusās relationship, while deeply affectionate and filled with history, is also clouded by unspoken emotions and past trauma. While they clearly care about each other, their bond is often overshadowed by a lack of communication and the unresolved tension surrounding their pasts.
Remus and Tonksās relationship feels like a true partnership, with both individuals growing into better versions of themselves because of their love for each other, whereas Remus and Siriusās bond, while intense, is more marked by unfulfilled potential and missed opportunities.
