Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

(Excuse the reupload, his arm was bothering me so I had to fix it 🧍🏻)

Anywhoo here’s a doodle of sweet lil Remus in year 6ish at hogwarts. Been reading atyd finally so it’s based on that :p

I love him your honor

[keepgoingmimosa]

Year 4 Remus on the train in his “thug” attire (atyd) !! Tried to make his buzz cut look at least semi-ok 😩

[keepgoingmimosa]

Chapter 1: Summer, 1971: St Edmund’s

He woke up in the dark. It was too hot in the little room they’d put him in, being early August.… The door opened. Light poured in like water and he blinked wildly.

(Part 1 of me trying to squeeze out the images that play in my little brain while reading ATYD)

[keepgoingmimosa]

I still remember the first fall of snow…

[keepgoingmimosa]

Past and present 💔

[keepgoingmimosa]

Turns out spending 12 years in Azkaban and sleeping in a cave does not do wonders for your hair...

(based off of that one scene in Chapter 185 of ATYD)

[keepgoingmimosa]

Chapter 2: First Year: The Hogwarts Express

“None of you are related to me, are you?” He drawled. He had the same high, upper class accent that Peter and James had. Remus disliked them all at once, knowing that they’d think he was common – and a half blood, whatever that was.

“Don’t think so.” James replied, grinning, “James Potter.” He held out a hand again. The other boy shook it, easily,

“Oh good, a Potter. Dad told me not to talk to you.”

[keepgoingmimosa]

Chapter 95: Summer 1976 (part three: Peace Talks)

“I’m sorry.”

“I know. You’ve said.”

The fact that I needed to buy the script, just to rewrite the scenes and decorate it shows in which level of insanity I am

Anyways here’s the palace of harmony scene cuz sharing is caring 🤗
