all the building bricks for 002/ijin bitter exes are there. their dynamic should be strife with drama and UST: 002 was supposed to be the leader, yet then ijin comes along and steals that spot and 002. accepts it wordlessly and follows his orders to everyone's confusion. that's interesting!

the tropes, the backstory, this SHOULD be the easiest ship in the world and yet. zero chemistry

there should be insecurity, mind games and push and pull co-leader activities! but like, the only tension actually there in canon is of a "rookie coworker who got a promotion over you but you sucked it up and didn't let it affect the teamwork" and NOT "this other child soldier who came later is better than you, the prodigy, isn't this a mindfuck"

only thing 002 was hung up on is "did 001/ijin betray us" and when he finds out he didn't he chillaxes. "enjoy your life. the one you gained by betraying us that is" but he doesn't MEAN it he's just saying words recreationally. he doesn't actually resent 001/ijin at all, nor does he particularly like him. he's just NEUTRAL about him. somehow. baffling.

then when 003 comes along I thought "oooh we will finally get drama!! the tension of being The Top Trio, best of the best, but 002/003 are together and 001 has to watch as a sort of satellite to the couple" this also doesn't happen. Ijin watches wide eyed along with the rest of the kids when 002/003 met again. he acted like it was watching your parents kiss and not two people you might be attracted to in any capacity.

and I think this might be it. that couple of year age difference is not enough to make this a problematic age gap situation, yet as teens/preteens it's enough that it just doesn't occur to them to see each other any type of way. 002 seemingly only thinks of ijin as some kid, not worth it to hate. and ijin is fond of 002 the same way he's fond of all the numbers but not in a special way. the fact they're BOTH completely blank faced and repressed does not help, they're two stone walls talking to each other. dissapointing but the yaoi isn't yaoing despite my best efforts

I think maybe the most ironic part of the white supremacist “Muslims are taking over Europe, save European culture and its people!” rhetoric is that they’ve been saying it for the past 1,300 years. No exaggeration. This is something they’ve been fearmongering about since the 8th century.

i don't wanna be on my phone but i need my phone to figure out where i'm going on a walk and i need my phone to get to my audiobook and i need my phone to call my brother and i need my phone to get in touch with my friends which is fine but i don't want to be on my phone.

so i walk and that's fine and i'm using the phone in an okay-way in that moment. but sometimes i am using the phone like it is a weapon and that's stupid because no it's not. ive seen a weapon those are different this is a phone. but it's also in my hands until 2 AM and i haven't slept. at 4AM. i don't even mean to do it half the time i'm opening the phone to check the weather or to check my email which are things-that-are-okay but then i am in my phone for hours somehow, and i missed the dawn while i was on instagram. i don't even like instagram.

i don't want to be on my phone im not good at it so i try to put distance there but then i'm distancing myself from my friends. we meet up in person but my pictures are on my phone and the menu is on the phone (mon dieu) and so is venmo. so i need the phone to be with my friends and that's fine because it can record concerts and fun activities and i can take pictures of them smiling with pumpkins.

but i don't want to be on the phone because i go to look at the pictures of the pumpkins and i hate how i look in it but it's fine. and somewhere between the pumpkins and 3AM i have lost so much time. i don't even know what i'm doing on it only that i don't enjoy it any longer. it is this long blank void. forever and ever. restless like how mushrooms feel restless beside a dead body.

i don't want to be on my phone so i pick up the phone and i type into google things to do in my area and i save them to my phone and i'll need my phone to get to the tickets and i'll need my phone to book the appointment and i'll need it, i'll need it

we put so much importance on romantic love in queer spaces that i think we can forget about how important queer friendships are. having queer friends makes it so much easier to accept yourself and learn to accept others. queer friendships have so much love stored in them

having audio processing issues is so humiliating like yeah i heard you and yeah i was actively listening but the problem is i dont know what the fuck you sayed

Platonic bartylus has a chokehold on me but like... no one gets them like i do i fear.

Their level of friendship, of trust , is something else. If Sirius has James then Regulus has Barty, and I will die on that hill.

i love it when authors make sirius only a little bit ‘cool’, but almost in the lucius malfoy-kind of pretty way. he may be a rebel but he’s still posh and vaguely traditional. his pronunciation becomes unbearably ‘stiff upper lip’ when he’s emotional. he wears his hair long because his father and grandfather also kept it long, because it’s tradition for wizards who are of age. he wears jewellery because wizards wear jewellery, not just witches, and the look of it is great. his tattoos, if he even has them, are runes like the old magicals used to have. he only wears muggle clothes when he has to because the feeling of denim makes his entire body cringe. he smokes cigarettes but would rather smoke a pipe.

sirius black, whose rebellion is purely political, utterly ideological, and not rooted into aesthetic like what this generation is so obsessed with. he appreciates modern and muggle things because they’re interesting and fun, not lesser, but he’ll always prefer dragonhide over cow leather. his favourite leather jacket is just a transfigured outer robe for the motorbike, for the off-chance that he rides it on the roads and needs to look the part.

he can be an activist and argue for muggle and muggleborn rights while dressed like a wizard. let him be as whimsical! let him be utterly out of his depth when he needs to blend in! he can be woke AND dressed all fancy please!! ideological rebellion is a mindset NOT the way you dress omfg

Every once in a while I am reminded that the title of one of the most heartwrenching shows out there, that had me in absolute tears at the end, can be abbreviated to Ass Class & I have yet to figure out how I feel about that fact

figuring out how to get rid of screen addiction is like trying to figure out how to stop a nicotine addiction while also having a job centered around smoking cigarettes and having half your social life be in smoke breaks

james x remus should be called eclipse btw

I am convinced that Peter Pettigrew had a strong bout of guilt mere days before he gave away the potters location.

Because he also didn’t give it away immediately, I believe which is so ?? He was more than likely in internal turmoil let’s be real.

I have this idea that Remus always lagged behind all of them in duels - he wasn’t weak: his spells were strong and precise but he was more a strategist, not the best at reacting by instinct without thinking things through that’s why Sirius usually had his back or even Peter sufficed really as long as he was given time to think.

On the other hand I think Peter was great at instinctual reactions if for nothing else than fear but he lacked the strength, the precision and the skill that the others had so he was often times the most ‘in danger.’

Now imagine them engaged in a duel against death eaters mere days before Peter makes his decisions - it’s a tight spot, James is with Lily in hiding and Peter was called out of his own on an emergency, it’s just him and Sirius and Remus, waiting desperately for back up or the hope of a retreat but the death eaters are snarling at Sirius, Remus is still exhausted from a full moon not long past and of course they aren’t going any easier on Peter - everyone knows of his double role they won’t give him favours and many don’t truly trust him, he’s panicking and a miscounted spell is about to hit him until-

Sirius jumps infront, shield charm at the ready, the spell rebounds and Peter rapidly watches Lupin duck behind a tree and stun the one who’d cast it,

Sirius is looking back at him, tall and grinning - the time of war has taken its toll even on him, he’s steady on his feet, a strong grounded presence but it’s clear it’s done with a lot of effort, concentration focused on a steady posture making his smile wobbly but he’s still grinning,

and protective and he asks

“You alright Pete ? That was a close one, good thing you stopped growing in fourth year, spell might have flown right over your head even if I didn’t show up !

He jests - like always but Peter can see it in the way he grips his wand that he’s terrified of death, of losing any of them right there.

Remus ducks behind the charm, somewhere from the left and Peter hears Sirius greet him, feels the charm be re-enforced.

And he stands there, the roar of the battle becoming indiscernible - he stands there as they’re both, so tired and worn - still giving it their absolute best and there is a sob in his throat, so vile and bitter and nauseating knowing what he’s about to do as soon as Voldemort next calls upon him.

There is no doubt now and it hits him like a crash,

“Oye wormy, I get it, I really do.”

Remus’s voice cuts through the fog in his brain and the wet streams of tears along his cheeks are now apparent, he feels pathetic.

And he thinks that no, Remus’s doesn’t know, he couldn’t he couldn’t possibly know, he would never think he was a betrayer.

“But I am about to pass out here, so-“

Remus turns to him too, smiling, smiling just like Sirius had,

God lord they’ve always cared for him.

He can see the tiredness in Lupin’s eyes, his body has held up the worst out of them all,

But he’s standing still, and he isn’t afraid.

He isn’t thinking of betraying his friends - even though Peter knows how he’s been accused.

The pit in his stomach is immense as he sees how both Sirius and Remus choose to fight even past how far they can.

“Please,”

Remus’s voice continues.

“Save your tears for once we made it out of here.”

There is a soft lower tone as he focuses back on the battlefield infront of them :

“I will give you chocolate.”

Peter feels his heart in his throat, he wipes his tears and shields their back, hand wavering.

He doesn’t know how his friends, for now, can stand so strong.

being queer is such a wonderful, wonderful way of life

[agentbaguette]

i don't care how uncomfortable you are around cis men, queer cis men still need places to go, and sometimes, those spaces will be shared with yours. disabled and neurodivergent queer men and queer men of color especially need a place to go. the queer community isn't the "fuck cis men" community. that is the rad fem community. if you think cis men and people who read as cis men are inherently "too scary" or shouldn't be allowed in queer spaces, you joined the wrong community.
