Done for SCAD DSGN 101.

Experimenting with the Bezold effect. I've had significantly less opportunities to yap at my classmates about my Romans this quarter, and I'm hoping this makes up for lost time.

[lord-starman-wotton]

Oooo, fellow SCAD Marauders fan. Filling portfolios with Wolfstar is so fun... Best of luck to you 🫡

you get it 🙏🙏 i have gut feeling that scad is going to have a concerning number of marauders fans, anyways thank you!!!

when plato said “Acting out of love, she showed so much more affectionate concern than they did that she made them look like strangers to their son, and relatives only in name.” he was talking about euphemia and sirius

[lord-starman-wotton]

“Tragedy is not an imitation of persons, but of actions and of life.” regulus black. i’m crying don’t touch me

[lord-starman-wotton]

went on a good long walk so here’s some thoughts

james feels like he has to embody everything that’s good in humanity because his friends need someone to believe in. he feels like he’s failing at doing so whenever he blows up, whenever he gets tired of being the pillar of the group 

sirius feels like he has to find a way to embody everything that’s good in humanity because he fundamentally believes that he’s the opposite, because his family is the opposite. any signs of intrusive thoughts, of his rampant anger issues, and he thinks he’s failed, that he’s just as bad as the rest of the blacks

what they both fail to realize is that they represent what’s good in humanity not despite this, but because of this. they’re human, they make mistakes, and they fuck up every once and a while, but they still choose to be good. they choose to try. if that’s not the best that humanity has to offer, what is?

[lord-starman-wotton]

copying this dude

highly recommend this video. its genuinely inspiring

[winters-on-the-wing]

because the marauders fandom as a whole generally uses this phrase horrifically wrong, i’m going to explain what “morally grey” actually does and does not mean!

morally grey is NOT:

1. character who’s done a lengthy series of horrific things and then does one sort of good thing.

2. character who had a bad childhood and then as an adult, commits violent hate crimes.

3. character who is supports racism/bigotry/misogyny but it’s okay because they get bullied or they’re poor.

4. character who’s done a lengthy series of really good things and then does one sort of bad thing.

5. character who is a horrible person who’s done numerous horrific wrongs, but they’re a little white boy, or a tiny little twink man, or an emo dark haired baby boy, or a blond freckled cinnamon roll, so it’s magically fine.

morally grey IS:

1. character who fights for good/equality/a noble cause but goes about it in a violent or harmful fashion. yes, violence is necessary in times of war. but it is still morally grey to engage in it.

2. character who is forced into an oppressive role and is choosing the safety of themselves over the safety of an oppressed population.

3. character who had a bad childhood and struggles to break the cycle in which they were created, but makes an effort to do so anyway.

the bottom line is that moral greyness represents an actual struggle between good and evil influences that manifests into tangible action.

regulus black is NOT morally grey. the one good thing he ever did was not for a good reason. therefore he was not struggling between good and evil. his entire life was dedicated to himself, his power, which comes from blood supremacy.

barty crouch jr. is NOT morally grey. he had a bad childhood theoretically, but he never canonically fought against those influences, and it’s implied that his childhood was bad as a direct result of his sadistic tendencies. therefore, there’s no struggle between good and evil.

bellatrix lestrange is NOT morally grey. being a woman does not automatically counter or somehow excuse her dedication to blood supremacy, which never wavers or changes. no struggle between good and evil.

severus snape is NOT morally grey. his actions appear to be good, but the reasoning behind them are never that. he protects harry because he sees lily in him. he doesn’t express remorse for his blood supremacist views even when he becomes a double agent. he openly bullies and torments children for things they can’t control due to the bitterness in his heart. he was bullied in childhood but it was due to his blood supremacist beliefs. it all comes back to him clinging onto the slightest semblance of power he has as someone with wizard blood in him. though his actions suggest it, i personally see no true struggle between good and evil, as his objective is always the same.

ron weasley is NOT morally grey. his occasional moments of rudeness are never guided by evil intentions. he is simply human, and his bad actions do not remotely balance his good actions. his good actions are so significant and common that his bad actions are tiny blips of misjudgment that can be attributed to emotional outbursts. emotional outbursts do not imply moral greyness.

albus dumbledore IS morally grey. his intentions are good, but the way he goes about doing what he does is horrific. he is willing to murder children in order for more children numerically to stay alive. debating which lives are more precious through simple logic is moral greyness because it is a struggle between the good of saving lives and the bad of sacrificing other lives. all for a good cause, but is it really so good if it causes death?

i’m too tired to think of other characters but moral greyness is present in harry potter/marauders. just not in the characters that the fandom is implying. morally grey is not an excuse for one’s actions or a way to criminalize one’s actions. it’s simply a way to describe somebody. akin to a personality trait.

and this is my take on it! i know i’m gonna get death threats but i don’t really care! i know i’m right!

[lord-starman-wotton]

i really like this! i do want to say (not saying that you’re wrong/im right) that in the first three cases, we don’t actually know that there was no struggle between good and evil. we can make a judgement on snape because we have a lot of canon info on him. he’s absolutely not morally grey, he did good things for bad reasons as you said. but with regulus/bellatrix/barty, we don’t actually know that they aren’t struggling with good vs evil, since we have no canon info on their lives outside of small snippets. a lot of people like to characterize them as having major struggles with good vs evil, and you can do that for all of those characters without destroying canon. just because we only have one good thing that reg did in canon doesn’t mean that he never did anything good outside of that. with barty you can say that he’s not morally grey because in canon he never fought his evil influences, and you’d be valid to say that. but it’s *also* valid to characterize him as morally grey. we know so little about him; we can give him a more nuanced backstory if we choose to and that’s the beautiful thing about this fandom :)

wolfstar lovechild oc rant

her name is livia (it means blue/envious, and i feel like this fits her character even though she’ll never admit it) basically her au is vaguely BOTW inspired, she has amnesia and wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world, she runs around trying to find her parents and finds all of these memories that help decipher their story, only to find out at the end that wolfstar died protecting her. she lived with them until she was 16 before she lost her memories. before they died, she had basically nothing in common with the two of them (though she still loved them very very much, they all got along great, very gilmore girls energy with the three of them), but after she forgot who she was, she’s become more and more like them

i love the idea of a female character who isn’t like, going out of her way to be buff, she just has average ish strength, but she’s feisty enough to fight a bitch anyway? like i love the remus trope of “looks like a twig but could beat the shit out of you” but give me a character who IS a twig and can only beat you out of pure spite. i also love characters who are explosive 24/7 UNTIL they’re in a real argument and then they’re just a sarcastic wall. so basically she’s just the combination of all of these traits

barty wanted to be a dad so badly like he wanted a little girl so much but when evan died he couldn’t see that future for him anymore so instead he went crazy

Reblog if you think a woman can be complete without children

[cj-can-art]

Y’ALL HAVE TIME TO REBLOG THIS. IT TAKES LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS.

[lord-starman-wotton]

there is nothing that peeves me more than the idea that having a child is the most important thing a woman can do with her life and that if she doesn’t have children she’s wasting her potential

black brothers microfic: a phone call in the middle of the night || @black-brothers-microfic || wc: 220

"Hey, Reggie! Can your favorite brother ask you a favor?"

"If Remus needs my help, I believe he can ask me directly."

"...I'm too stunned by this statement to even think of a joke. Last time I checked, I was your only brother?"

"Last time I checked, you were married, which makes Remus my brother in law. And that brings us to your request, because there are only two possibilities here: you're asking me for help with the divorce, and that doesn't make sense, because I'm going to side with Remus under any circumstances..."

"HUH?"

"...Or it's something you're afraid to ask him for help with. And I believe the latter. What is it?"

"Oh well, thanks for having some faith in the strength of my marriage, brother."

"Sirius. You wake me up in the middle of the night. You tell me what's going on in the next five seconds or I'll hang up."

"I need some money..."

"How much?"

"Well... Fifteen thousand?"

"Excuse me? Why do you need that kind of money right now?"

"Well... I have to pay at the escape room."

"For fuck's sake... What kind of escape room needs that kind of money? Did you blow up a whole building?"

"Oh, that's..."

"Sirius."

"Prison."

"...Should I wait for a call from Barty with the same request?"

"...Maybe?"
