Jules | late stage multishipper & obsessive tagger

Formerly a Marauders fandom blog. Now I just reblog more broadly fandom related things and occasionally ramble into the void. I like to pretend that I’m fluent in English. I’m really not.

Used to post headcanons and fandom thoughts (tagged #my posts) and personal stuff (tagged #jules talks). DMs are still open, just not really for Marauders stuff anymore.

i love fics that feel so... grown. fics about adults that were written by adults who have years of life experience under their belts who pour that into their writing. fics where you can tell this is a person who has lived through a marriage or a divorce or a child or children or parent death or any number of Huge Life Events because the way they write with an emphasis on the highs and lows of the human experience rather than an emphasis on tropes (not throwing shade) is just so. oh man, it's just so fucking good. if my blorbos are grown men, grown women, grown people, i love it when they feel like grown people, not just extensions of the (young) author's imagination. (still not throwing shade). you know?

Nothing forges stronger bonds than hating the same bullshit fanon thing

[graveyurt]

writing a fic set in the modern day and tagging it with period typical misogyny

[thedeepthought]

Authors who post like this are so deliciously unhinged. At this point it’s not even a fic- it’s a literary hostage situation, and i am ✨sat✨ ☕️

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

[lyricwritesprose]

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

fujoing out and enjoying yaoi is all fun and games until you remember the state of lesbian representation in media

wowwwwwwww this male character I'm a fan of is so weak and incompetent, he's a woman to me. not actually a woman though. that’s icky. let men be feminine. I'm just saying he's like one because he's weak and incompetent and and submissive incredibly pathetic compared to everyone around him. like women are.

i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.

you've heard of death of the author, now get ready for death of the audience: where instead of basing your reaction on a thousand uninformed opinions online, you actually read the text and engage with it

[deadsprout]

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

Dialectics is when you agree with both of your mutuals who disagree with each other

being a queer person who really likes a m/f ship blows because the minute you step outside your painstakingly curated circle of t4t bisexuals you find out all the straight people are out here drawing your faves like this

[clementine-kesh]

the “fuck canon everything is made up do whatever you want forever” approach to fandom can be fun in small doses but i find that subscribing a little too hard to that attitude can lead to this belief that serious engagement with and analysis of a text is an act of no fun self-flagellation when that couldn’t be further from the truth. analysis is literally fun
