Bit random but that kind of stuff always occupies me: Do you want to assign the Marauder +(characters you find compelling) cows?

Hello! Thank you for this, I've been working on this ask throughout the week when stress levels were picking up, and it was a really nice thing for me to revisit yesterday when I was having a hard time—such a cute thing to do when things feel chaotic and stressful!!

Since I am not a cow expert, I'm going solely based off vibes and looks!! I know nothing about the different types of cows out there lol

Let's start with James:

A longhorn seemed fitting for James mostly due to the Prongs/Antler situation.

Sirius:

I had to do a black cow obviously, and this one is giving off the perfect "I'm cute but I'm also kind of scary" vibe that I think Sirius has.

Remus:

A very shaggy Highland cow for our Remus!! I think this specific cow has the perfect vibe 🩷

Peter:

I think this might be another Highland cow, but the vibes really stuck out as Peter to me!!

Lily:

Adorable, copper colored, big beautiful eyes 🩷 That's Lily all over!

Thank you so much for this cute ask ❤️❤️❤️ I was busy every single second of the day for the past 6 days so I'm glad I finally got around to finishing 🫶

I know little to nothing about this fandom (nor do I support jkr, I quite literally despise her), but Remus’ design is interesting and I wanted to practice more watercolor

Sirius isn’t really sure what he expected for their interview with a possibly murderous ex-cultist, but it definitely wasn’t an outdated Applebee’s in the flat, sprawling city of Greenville or the children’s birthday party happening on the other side of the restaurant.

The car ride here had been awkward and mostly silent, the sort of tentative camaraderie they’d found the last time they talked nowhere to be found, and he’d let Remus make uncomfortable small talk for a little while before he’d started heckling him about his “newer” car, the thing is so old that it doesn’t even have Bluetooth, before he’d amused himself by staring out the window at the passing scenery as twangy music played softly from the radio and occasionally making snippy commentary about it.

“You couldn’t shell out for somewhere a little nicer?” he hisses to Remus as they follow the dead-eyed hostess through the restaurant, dodging a few wayward children as they go. “Was the Waffle House fully booked today?”

“He picked the place, not me,” Remus hisses back, both of them drawing to a stop when the hostess throws the stack of laminated menus down on top of the table of a four person booth, sharing an uneasy look with each other before Sirius takes a quick glance around the restaurant, finding each and every one of the larger tables occupied. 

Of course they are.

chapter twelve of don't look much like a lover (doesn't mean that i won't try) is now available on ao3!

Office Romance

Prompt: A26 Rating: M Relationship: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin Word count: 6.3k

Lily works in publishing, which could be considered a boring office job if her favourite colleague and best friend Remus Lupin wasn't waging a one-man war against modern technology. A war he was losing.

Unfortunately for him, every time something went wrong he had to call the IT department. And the IT person that always got sent down just to happened to be Sirius Black.

Rude, arrogant, and clearly with a low tolerance for technologically challenged colleagues, Sirius loathed Remus's guts.

Which was truly unfortunate since Remus has had a crush on Black for quite a while now.

March 10, 2009. Remus Lupin turns 49 on the day of a full moon. 45 years of transformations are catching up with him.

The thing that annoys me most about wolfstar haters is their determination that it is a relatively new ship.

I read POA in 1999. I was talking about wolfstar (though I didn't call it that) in 1999. And I was far from the only one.

the movie didn't come out until 2004. I had been talking about wolfstar for five years at this point. And I didn't like the movies when they were coming out. I didn't watch POA until years after it had been released.

No, "wolfstar truthers" did not spring into existence with the line "look at you quarrelling like an old married couple"

The three year summer (2000-2003) was a massive time for wolfstar shippers because the end of GOF gave us a whole new genre to play with: "Lie Low at Lupin's". Three years worth of headcanon, fan art and fics all before the movie hit theatres. And that was on top of the intense scenes (and best chapters in all of HP) in the shrieking shack.

The Case For R/S by elwing_alcyone was written in 2003 following the publication of OOTP. It was first written before the POA movie came out and it goes through - in painstaking detail - all the parts of the books which support wolfstar.

Now, you don't have to agree with the interpretation, but you have to accept and respect the fact that back when the books were coming out there were people who did ship it and did so based on canon information. It is a ship based in canon even if it is not canon. And it stems from a time before we knew what would happen next and had to wait years for the next instalment.

Just because some wolfstar fics might now twist the characters beyond all recognition does not mean that Remus and Sirius have to be OOC for the ship to work.

I am only interested in canonically accurate versions of these characters. But I do ship them together, and have done for the past 26 years. Because of what I can see in the text.

Wolfstar shippers are as old as Remus and Sirius themselves (that is to say, they all date from 1999). You might not be able to find masses of early 2000s wolfstar fics on FFN, but that's because they were on live journal and private websites and sites dedicated to "puppy love"/ "the one true way". They were on sites that no longer exist and you have to commit to trawling the wayback machine in a fandom archaelogial dig just to find snippets. But they did exist - in great numbers. I remember them. I saw them. They were my first introduction to fanfic, and there was no shortage to choose from. And the ship was being spoken about IRL, and no there is no internet history for that but it doesn't stop it being real.

You may not have been in these spaces, but that doesn't mean that these spaces were not there. You might not have been a wolfstar shipper (a "puppy love/ one true way shipper") but that doesn't mean other people were not, and that they were relatively large in number - especially for a slash ship at that time.

Wolfstar does not come from the movie. And it certainly doesn't come from All The Young Dudes. And I don't care how much you hate the ship, how much you love Prongsfoot or Remadora (if that's your reason for hating), you have to accept that the wolfstar ship started sailing in 1999 with the publication of Prisoner of Azkaban.

Yes it has grown in popularity over the years and taken some wild turns, but it started with the introduction of the characters and it started in canon.

I get that people like to hate on what is popular, and wolfstar is super popular now and the popular fics bear little resemblance to the books, but hating on something doesn't have to include rewriting the facts - whether that is done in ignorance or maliciously.

Yeah, you have to be in your late 30s or early 40s (at least) to be an OG wolfstar shipper, because any younger than that and you wouldn't see it in the text when it first came out, but please stop writing these older fans out of history.

Especially if you're not old enough to remember or weren't in the fandom back when all this happened.

Wolfstar has been around since Remus and Sirius were introduced. in 1999. I have been shipping them since 1999. And I wasn't alone.

Deal with it.

reading fanfic in bed is one of the best things that could happen to a person
