I'm always coming across people saying one of two things about wolfstar 1) It makes no sense and 2) it would be toxic as hell if it ever happened...

All of which makes me wonder what on earth set of books they were reading because from Remus's voice shaking with some suppressed emotion when he sees Sirius for the first time in twelve years, to his voice sounding like every word was causing him pain after Sirius's death we see them be nothing but gentle, respectful and affectionate with each other.

Anyway - I'm currently re-reading Bite and Prejudice which is my wolfstar Jane Austen AU and I just came across this paragraph which, although it is written in flouncy regency language (and was paraphrased from another which was originally about Lizzie and Darcy), sums up exactly why Remus and Sirius work so perfectly together in canon:

He thought too how their dispositions and tempers - though markedly different from the other - would suit each other perfectly and bring out only  the best. How Remus’s tendency to self deprecation, his dry wit and steady temper would deflate the worst of Black’s pride, stick a pin in his self importance and keep his readily admitted propensity to take offence and never give up a grudge in check. Likewise, Black’s ardent nature, his loyalty and tenderness, his capacity for love and his great passion for life would pull Remus out of his own melancholy, make a mockery of his self pity, and make him laugh when he was inclined to be maudlin. Together, Remus thought, they made one very good sort of man. Apart they must always be prey to their own weakness and follies. 

Which just goes to show, whatever universe you put them in, wolfstar will always make sense.

I'M SHY ON AO3 BUT I'M GONNA BE HONEST HERE I'M EATING THIS AMAZING SWEET OF A SHIT FUCKING UPPPPPP POST MORE SOON BUT TAKE YOUR TIME I MEAN HURRY UPPP LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

“Hello.” James distractedly squishes onto the bench with them, Remus pressing against his side as he tries to give him more room, James’ eyes locked onto the woman across from them. “Hi James, no, sorry, I’m James, it’s so nice to meet you.”

“Is it?” Lily asks, ignoring James outstretched hand as she quirks one eyebrow up, taking a sip of her beer. He can practically see the little cartoon hearts blooming in James’ eyes. 

“She’s going to eat him alive,” Remus leans in to whisper in his ear, and he can’t help but to nod in agreement, watching as James tries to speak and chokes on his own spit.

“And I’m Pete.” Pete slides onto the bench next to Lily, giving them all an agreeable grin. 

“Sirius, hi, it’s great to finally meet you.” He reaches across the table, shaking his hand. “We might have two more coming, they weren’t sure if they could make it. Some sort of lesbian cult crisis, Marlene wasn’t forthcoming with the details.”

“We can always pull up a chair if need be.” Remus snags the bag of crisps from his lap, popping a few in his mouth. “I thought you didn’t like cheese and onion.”

“Lily hit me in the face with them, I wasn’t really in a position to argue.”

“Lily,” Remus scolds, narrowing his eyes at her, but she just lifts one freckled shoulder in response. “Be nice to him. It wasn’t his fault that Caradoc was a massive piece of shit.”

“No, it’s fine. Honestly, her reaction is the kind of reaction you should have had, maybe you should take notes.”

“Fuck off, Padfoot.” Remus rolls his eyes, turning towards James. “Where’s your mini-me tonight?”

“I left him with mum,” James says, trying to drag his eyes away from Lily and failing. “She’s super excited for a sleepover, was joking about piercing his ears and taking him to an opium den.” James blinks, finally looks at Remus. “At least, I hope she was joking.”

chapter four of when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed (you put me on and said I was your favorite) is now available to read on ao3!

If your name is rachel and you own a playlist on spotify named "chaotic academia radio" with nearly a hundred folowers just know i fw u badly and want to be your wife.

I don’t remember seeing a character created for such a specific niche as Arcane Caitlyn, that girl was carved by Artemis herself to please lesbians around the world. Don’t get me wrong, Vi is my favorite character ever and everything about her being a butch lesbian screams PERFECTION and Vi is also beautiful, sassy, funny, caring, cute and everything that makes her acceptable for almost everyone.

But Cait? She’s socially awkward, beautiful beyond belief, strong, she doesn’t ask for permission, she doesn’t care what people think of her, except her girlfriend, unapologetically horny, autistic coded, terrible timing for jokes, doesn’t realize when she’s flirting, pure lesbian material, prince and princess vibes.

In a series of completely unrelated coincidences, the same family moves into a haunted house, attracts the attention of a local poltergeist, purchases an evil ventriloquist dummy, activates a witch’s curse, and adopts the newborn antichrist, all in the same week.

one of the best fics i've ever read, one that had me addicted to my phone and crying, wasn't even prose. it was a huge, casual, bullet-pointed outline with every detail of an au that the author never got around to writing in full. and it was amazing.

let this be a message to all you who want to write but can't do it "normally": write it! someone out there will eat it up. whether that be poetry, tiny drabbles, or bullet pointed list: your work is always worth it. your art (yes, art!) will alway deserve to have its moment in the spotlight. why? because you made it. even if it wasn't done in a traditional matter, it came from your brain and your creativity and that is amazing.

I just wanted you to know i'm using you in my bedtime fictional scenarios as my dead wife that i loved tenderly but which tragic death lead me to an spiraling psychologic degradation (eternaly in a mood) and social isolation until a very extroverted character that probably has ADHD persuades me to get in a dangerously atractive journey full of adventure and magic with them. Just so yk idk

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.
