I really liked your comments about the bridge scene in PoA.

What do you think the impact of that film was? Do think Wolfstar would have been as popular as it became without it?

Ooooh great question anon!

Much of the genesis of Wolfstar, from what I remember, did come about following the publication of Prisoner of Azkaban. It's probably difficult for new or younger fans, or for fans who have only ever really engaged with fanon, to appreciate the atmosphere in the fandom whilst the stories were still being told.

Prisoner of Azkaban changed the trajectory of the fandom in many ways. It was the first time a whole cast of adult characters was introduced that had rich stories outside of the Golden Trio. It was the first time we really learnt about the First Wizarding War in any detail. It really was the moment when the Marauders fandom was born.

In regards to Wolfstar it was something that developed out of the publication of the book alongside the interest in the Marauders. My own personal view is that, for many fans who became shippers, it simply was the best and most interesting explanation to the dynamic between Sirius and Remus in that book. They had a lot of chemistry and a lot of history off the page that was referenced. They had a tragic backstory. This is all fertile ground for shipping.

I have yet to be convinced that there is a better explanation for Remus actively concealing what he knows about Sirius in the story, and his knowledge of the castle, and his being an Animagus, even after he breaks in with a knife. Only love and regret make sense. It captured my imagination and hasn't let me go since.

I think the film really brought the story and the ship to a wider audience of fans who may not have read the books. The mood and atmosphere of the film is so tender, and moody, and full of regret. The scene on the bridge is just one of many moments of this, but David Thewlis' performance is full of sadness and the scene in the Shack has rightly become infamous to Wolfstar shippers for a reason.

In conclusion, I think the Wolfstar ship was already sailing before the film. But the film definitely helped it sail along 💜

(I'm posting this again, but this article really articulates the development of Wolfstar in the fandom whilst the stories were still being written).

DEAD POETS SOCIETY - MODERN AU HEAD CANONS

Charlie Dalton and Knox Overstreet - The Secret Swiftie - And the most obvious

He definitely listens to Taylor Swift on a daily basis - Prolly lives and breathes the 1989 era - Now as for the question of how he expresses that? He is either that really quiet one until Knox walks in on on him screaming But Daddy I love Him - He will not let him forget it

Knox is the MOST obvious TS fan amongst the poets - Loves Lover and has cried with Todd over The Manuscript and loml and YOYOK and Back to December and All too Well (10min) - Neil has not forgiven him for that one night when Todd came into their dorm, crying about how The Black Dog is Wolfstar coded (The Poets are so into ATYD and like the Marauders lore)

Knox Overstreet is drunk and cries over Chris while listening to Laufey

Being the hopeless romantic he grabs a bottle of something and puts Laufey on loop on Spotify and cries about Chris - Charlie and Cameron in the dorm have to either stuff their ears or actually go and manually shut of Spotify to stop him from crying. Knox proceeds to cry without Laufey and mumbles the lyrics to himself until he falls asleep

Todd Anderson lives for Hozier analysis - Loves The Oh Hellos and The Crane Wives

Todd Anderson is the biggest Hozier fan (DUH). He spent much of his free time sitting down and breaking apart Unreal/Unearth with his copy of the Inferno at his side. Neil and Todd go out to stargaze and they blast The Oh Hellos and The Crane Wives on shuffle and Sufjan Stevens

Meeks has destroyed everyone while playing Monopoly and Among Us

People underestimate him too much - well the joke it on them! He has made Cameron storm off and Todd huddle in a corner during Monopoly. Monopoly Monday is not exactly a thing - but when it is everyone rallies to pin him and Charlie together (who wins occasionally due to dumb luck)

He trolled everyone while playing Among Us and is the last to die.

Pitts collects vinyl records and/or CDs

He is definitely into The Smiths and The Beatles and Queen and he loves to collect records and CDs sometimes for aesthetics - But he is in charge of bringing the playlist to the party cause he is not going to overplay any artist (Knox overplayed love ballads and got together with Todd and cried over glasses of cheap wine). Has the most unpredictable music recommendations, but never disappoints.

Cameron vibes with period dramas

Cameron loves the good period dramas, and has read Austen, Tolstoy and E.M.Forester. Wants to be loved but isn't Knoxious desperate. He loves Downton Abbey and relates too much to Thomas and Mary for obvious reasons. Had a crush on Mr. Darcy at some point but now will not shut up about Alec Scudder from Maurice. Charlie had the brilliant idea of scaring him with a massive paper cut out of Colin Firth's Darcy. What ensued was a two hour manhunt for Charlie Dalton. Cameron still has the paper cut out and the poets have grown to appreciate its presence.

Neil loves Hamilton and Les Mis

That's it - he just does - Loves Lafayette and screams the lyrics of Helpless at any given time - Tried to fancast the poets as the cast - And tries to get everyone to sing One Day More (Knox is almost always Marius and is hella dramatic - Todd and Neil make up the Enjoltaire dynamic - Cameron likes Javert)

The Poets Love the Marauders

Charlie flexes the Sirius James energy but he's such a Regulus to Knox's James, who sees Chris as the literal Lily Evans (they are the folklore love triangle change my mind) . Neil and Todd (Wolfstar in a different font). Pitts and Meeks stan GRANT CHAPMAN and Cameron lives for the Black family line drama. They've all written fanfics or literal poetry about them.

Keating refuses to own a kindle

He loves physical copies of books too much - Cannot fathom the idea of owning a kindle

Charlie loves 80s coming of age films

It's his whole jazz - LOVES FERRIS BUELLER and can and will quote The Monologues in The Breakfast Club. Cried over Stand By Me, and has not recovered.

Neil and Pitts and Meeks love Fullmetal Alchemist

It was Christmas when they read volume 4 and none of them have physically recovered from it - IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW - Todd and Charlie had to make hot chocolate and listen to their ramblings and deal with Knox at the same time (who was crying over Chris yet again)

Chris and Ginny and Todd and Pitts and Charlie are in a band together

Knox wants frontline tickets, and Charlie has the time of his life selling the those tickets to literally everyone else. Todd doesn't sing and refuses to and is the lead songwriter - Ginny is the lead drummer and Pitts plays the keys. Chris is the lead singer and Charlie plays the sax and some random instruments on the side. Neil is the supportive boyfriend and Meeks buys them drinks after, and Knox drinks and pours his heart out to Todd.

Their Hogwarts house results

The Gryffindors - Neil and Todd

The Borderline Slytherin + Gryffindor - Charlie

Nowhere man - Knox Overstreet

Ravenclaw - Meeks

The one true Hufflepuss - Pitts

The mish mash one - Richard Cameron

I had fun with this one

[webslingingslasher]

Am i-am I about to introduce you to the marauders???

Ok I know it might seem a lot of work at first but trust me when I say you will love the Harry Potter series (even though I hate jk Rowling and watch the movies illegally) . It's a perfect watch for autumn!!! Just do a marathon, you will love the vibe. So the marauders, don't appear in the films initially because it refers to these four group of loyal friends who'd give up their life for each other except a traitor friend whose name is Peter pettigrew (Peter Parker would hate him fr) . The marauder comprises of James, Harry Potter's dead (people usually fan cast him as young Aaron Taylor Johnson), Remus Lupin who appears in the third film onwards and trust me when I say trouble will have a crush on him bc he is this sexy vulnerable professor and is also a werewolf(he is usually fan casted as Andrew Garfield) and Sirius Black who was sent to Azkaban which is a jail in the wizarding world where these creatures called dementors feed on your soul until and unless they suck out all the happiness from you, for something he didn't do. It's like a girl on her periods!! (Sirius is fan casted as Ben Barnes!)

Ofcourse these characters have real actors in the series. And marauders are a tightly knit group of friends who wanted to defeat the dark lord. It has so much political implications too! Remus Lupin and Sirius Black appears in the third film (prisoner of azkaban) and it is regarded as the best film in the franchise. Fans also ship Remus and Sirius (their ship name is called wolfstar since Remus is a wolf and Sirius is the name of a star). Remus has a baby with a woman he loves called Nymphadora. But I love the marauders side of the fandom more than the Harry Potter fandom! James, I headcanon as pansexual while Remus and Sirius are bi! Once you get into their dynamic, it's hard to get over! But still, do watch the series!

so, when i say i've never seen or read it people always tell me i NEED to do it for XYZ reasons. the main reason i'm sus is cause the fandom around it is so crazy.

BUT:::

this is the first time i've actually been motivated to watch them. it sounds lit. dementors and dark lords??? SIGN ME UP!!!!

[gluteus-canis-familiaris]

art post . 11

whoooooooo boy, here we goooooo! I never thought I'd scrounge up enough to make 10 arts posts and now I'm turning it up to 11 !!!

AND IT'S THE WOLFSTAR EDITION I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS POST HAHA

a healthy dose of gut wrenching withdrawal from ATYD helped me start this, but my headcanon for this is better attributed to Stealing Harryverse by copperbadge which I started soon after, where Remus and Sirius are living that perfect (?) domestic life dream and ADULTING AT THEIR FINEST <3 would recommend the series 11/10 !! It's only fully written up until Prisoner of Azkaban, but I know in my heart this scenario would have found its way into the 4th installment. And it would definitely have been called Harry Potter and the Godfathers on Fire. Sue me. Or start paying me idk.

worked on this on and off for several days before my last bout of exams and only got around to scanning it now cause I got so pooped from said exams :---( but long story short this has been in the back of my mind for weeks

the original scan is at the bottom left, and GUESS which bish got too lazy to color in the skin cause she left it for last, hence leaving them looking like they're fresh off a spin of the Resurrection Stone??? THIS BISH THAT WHO hence hence hence the lazy digital shading of skin and severe tweaking of saturation, etc. in the final one

pls forgive the blue bg in the bottom right, I wanted to see them against dark blue and nabbed that off the internet but I couldn't get it to come together as I pictured it hnnnngh

I d e s p e r a t e l y wanted to draw these two in fancy attire, so [insert whatever Ministry/Hogwarts/Order event you want here], and picture Sirius going bridezilla about the clothes shopping and Remus having none of it because his professor suits are still in grrrrreat shape, until Sirius tells him Remus would be doing him a favor by being the hottest date at the party, and when he sees the turtleneck + cane combo how can he refuse??????

WHOLLY INSPIRED BY THESE DAVID THEWLIS LOOKS: Gangster No. 1, 1993 Cannes Film Festival, and just his overall BEING in Seven Years in Tibet (I hate his fruitiness in that film and by hate I mean I would die and be reborn as a one legged dog tick for another serving of his fruitiness in that film) [x] [x] [x]

AND OFC WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT THE GARY OLDMAN LOOKS FROM THE PRADA MEN FALL 2012 COLLECTION: IT WAS SUBLIME, I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, GARY AND PRADA DID IT ALL [x] [x] [x]

I once had a friend who asked me what I thought about the casting of David Thewlis as Remus Lupin when we were in grade school. I said I thought it was fine. She said she thought he was too old. We're not friends anymore. AKSDJFHJAKSDHFJKASHDJKHASDJKHASFDF

That being said, I understand wanting to see the marauders closer to their canon ages and as young adults who had to grow up too fast, and I appreciate the fan casting of beanie barnes and andrew! Love them as actors, and thoroughly enjoy all the edits/art/etc. that go with it, but david and gary still have a firm grip on my soul huhuhu

ALSO HERE ARE CLOSE UPS OF THE MOON AND STAR DETAILS JUST BECAUSE I CAN AND ALSO BECAUSE I KEPT BREAKING MY PENCIL POINTS TO DRAW THEM HAHAHA

[mariekavanagh]

Re your post about the new Harry Potter series, considering you're such a Sirius Black fan would you not want a Marauders series?

lol nope.

You'd think I would want this, and I'm aware that there are many many people who do want a "Marauders" era prequel. But there are many reasons as to why it wouldn't work. Here are some.

This fandom is hella divisive and argumentative at the best of times. This can be a good thing, don't get me wrong. Different opinions are a good thing. But so often this fandom fails to discuss them respectfully, often resorting to just insulting the other side or shouting insults. The fandom surrounding MWPP has so many sides with people very devoted to their side - whichever side a potential TV show decides to portray, there will only be a small amount of the fandom satisfied by it.

Now lets get into the more detailed issues with a MWPP series.

1) James Potter vs Severus Snape.

If we end up with a show that outright depicts James + his friends bullying Snape (or other students), we'll have an argument about whether or not Snape deserved it, whether it's bias against Snape, MWPP fans complaining about showing their shady side, and arguments on posts that I can already see myself hastily scrolling past in which both sides are shouting at each other over who is right. It's exhausting enough already, without an official on-screen depiction to squabble over.

2) Wolfstar

Ships are great. Ships are fine. Ship who you want. You have that freedom. But there are people who like to declare their ship as canon simply because they like it so much or because there is a slither of canon "evidence". Wolfstar is one of those ships. If a prospective TV show decides to stick with canon and not confirm wolfstar, or worst still, give either character a potential love interest other than each other, there will be uproar from some areas of the wolfstar ship. Likewise, if they do push the boat out and decide to go for wolfstar, or perhaps just hint at it, there will be uproar from the anti-wolfstar community. Once again, it just comes down to the fact that this fandom so often fails to have a polite debate or conversation.

3) Casting

The lack of official on-screen material on the MWPP era means that there is a lot of fancasting for characters from that era. Which is a good thing! I do it myself, sometimes. It's a great feeling when you find an actor/person and think "Omg it's *insert name here*!" There are some very popular fancasts for the MWPP characters (Off the top of my head, Ben Barnes for Sirius, Andrew Garfield for Remus, Timothee Chalamet for Regulus and that other guy who is always shown as James in the same group whose name I cannot remember), but the reality is that these actors are extremely unlikely to be cast in these roles in any official movie/series. Aside from the people in charge perhaps just not seeing them as the right fit, the images and clips that people use for these actors as their characters are from films that are about a decade old. The actors are not young 20-somethings who can get away with playing teenagers anymore. This is perfectly logical, but I can already see it fuelling criticism about whoever is cast in the roles that fans are so loyal to seeing their fancasts playing. Endless "This actor isn't right, THIS actor should have been cast instead!" posts incoming.

4) Abusive Blacks

Oh boy. The cherry on the cake. You all know how much I dislike the headcanon that Sirius's parents were physically abusive towards him. That's just my persona preference. If a potential show or film decided to roll with this angle then I would not be the biggest fan for sure, but oh well. But this is just yet another example of an area of the MWPP fandom which is so divisive. If they show the Blacks as beating Sirius or cursing him til he's almost dead, then there will be people in favour and people against. Likewise if they don't show this, there will be people either saying this is a good thing or saying they're "going against canon" (abusive Blacks isn't canon, deal with it). Posts on the matter will quickly dissolve into name calling and shouts of "abuse apologist". Fun times.

5) Peter

I personally have a bit of a thing about people who deliberately erase Peter from works on MWPP. Yes he turned out to be a traitor and a bad guy, but you can't deny he was there all together. He was there, he was their friend, and he was very much a part of the story. But that's just me. Ultimately, Peter's divisiveness means that any characterisation in any prequel movie/series will surely be judged harshly depending on how people choose to view him, regardless of canon. The writers will have a nightmare of a time trying to satisfy an audience which all share very differing opinions as to how a younger Peter should be portrayed on screen. I would not envy their task of trying to get the balance right.

In summary, there are so many reasons as to why a MWPP would just be far too divisive to be successful, in my view. Too many topics that the fandom can never agree over, too much potential for outcries of "This angle/actor/storyline is wrong", "The writers are being disloyal to canon", "This is basically canon why are you refusing to acknowledge it?", the list goes on. I feel like any potential enjoyment to be gained from a show would ultimately be tainted by how much arguing every little aspect would trigger. And for that reason, I feel like we never will get any official on-screen prequel from this era. What production company/producer/writer/actor/literally anyone involved would want to take on such a project?

*drops mic* *sips tea* *stands up* *leaves room* *closes door*

[z3phyrcvpidl0ver]

🌙/// DEMANDE DE RP WOLFSTAR [bxb;harrypotter] [1] Bonjour ! Je viens ici pour faire une demande rp/p à deux. Je ne sais pas si elle sera convenable. Venez en pv ou commentez ce post si vous êtes intéressé. Sur ceux je vous laisse lire le post ! ————————————🐺————————————— THÈME Alors ça sera un rp/p sur le thème de Harry Potter inventé par JK Rowling. Avec du Boy x Boy donc rp gay. Ça se passe à Poudlard bien avant la naissance de Harry, à l'époque ou son père était encore à l'école. L'année sera à discuter en pv mais plutôt entre 6iem et 7iem année. C'est un rp/p romance. PERSONNAGES Les personnages principaux utilisés pour le rp/p seront Sirius Black un animagus qui se transforme en grand chien noir, élève de la maison Gryffondor malgré sa famille Serpentard et servante du Seigneur des Ténèbres, lui est courageux, désinvolte, fort, rebelle, énergique et tout ce qui va avec, il adore énerver sa famille et faire tout ce qui lui plaît mais il est doux et amical avec sa petite bande, il fait du Quidditch dans l'équipe rouge et or. L'autre personnage est Remus Lupin (celui que je préfère jouer) un loup garou qui a été mordu par Fenrir Greyback étant enfant, il est plutôt distant quand il est proche de la pleine lune et sa plus grande peur est la lune, il se rabaisse en permanence disant qu'il ne mérite pas de vivre par ce qu'il est un loup garou mais à besoin de ces amis avec lui, il peut subir parfois des crises d'angoisse passagère et préfère les gérer seul même si en vérité il préférerait les passer avec ses amis. D'autres personnages peuvent être rajouté au rp (par exemple Lily, James, Peter, Severus etc...) et joué par moi ou vous. CONTEXTE Les rps que j'ai déjà écrit se passent pour le 1 : de nuit vers 23 heure dans la Forêt Interdite aux abords du Parc juste après une crise en avance de Remus. L'autre c'est Remus et Sirius qui ont décidé de réviser ensemble mais Sirius à pose un lapin à Remus pour dormir au bords du lac. Les deux ou je joue Remus. Je peux vous montrer le rp et si ça ne vous conviens pas on en discutera pour trouver autre chose. En gros au début ils sont de simples meilleurs amis qui font des bêtises et toutes ce genres de choses ensemble avec leur petite bande de quatre. Mais bien vite les deux jeunes hommes se rendent compte qu'ils éprouvent plus que de l'amitié l'un envers l'autre, ils essaient de le cacher et de l'enfouir au plus profond d'eux. Mais cette chose prends de plus en plus de place dans leurs vies et ils l'éprouvent a chaque fois qu'un voit l'autre. Un des deux se fait plus distant que d'habitude, essayant de comprendre ce qui lui arrive. Qui ferra le premier pas ? Qui dévoilera sa flamme en premier ? Le feront ils en même temps ? Apres avoir dévoilé leurs sentiments, seront ils plus distants ou au contraire plus proche qu'avant ? Le partageront ils avec leurs deux amis ou le garderont ils secrets pour eux ? A voir au fil du rp ! CONDITIONS Je n'ai pas beaucoup de conditions à pars qu'il faut que ca soit écrit en littéraire donc minimum 10 lignes après ça varie en fonction de l'inspiration si je ne fournis pas 10 lignes vous pouvez en faire autant. Pour le rp/p il serai préférable d'avoir lue les livres de Harry Potter mais les films peuvent aussi marcher même si il y a moins d'informations. Pour l'apparence des personnages on peut utiliser le fan cast ou bien les fanart de Upthehillart. Il y aura du possible rpp mais on peut s'en passer si vous n'êtes pas a l'aise avec ça. ————————————🐺————————————— Bon je crois avoir toit dit. Venez pv pour plus d'informations ^^ et sur ce Bonne continuation !

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

Harry Potter

my favorite male character- Harry, Ron or Remus you cannot expect me to just Decide lol

my favorite book/season/etc- Prisoner of Azkaban

my favorite episode (if its a tv show)- Prisoner of Azkaban is the best in terms of a well-made movie, but I’m also really partial to the Halfblood Prince film

my favorite cast member- In spite of my over-the-top embarrassing crush on Rupert Grint in middle school, I gotta go with Daniel lol

my favorite ship- Ron/Hermione always but honestly like…over the years I’ve found myself growing really really fond of Harry/Hermione?? It’s stressful 

a character I’d die defending- H a r r y 

a character I just can’t sympathize with- Like. Voldemort or any of his followers 

a character I grew to love- Malfoy I guess??? Now that I’m Not A Kid and reached the stage where I’m constantly stressed because of book character ages like…he didn’t really Deserve That. There was kinda a half-assed redemption but it could’ve been a lot better. Plus a few comments JKR made about his fans pissed me off so I lowkey decided I had to like him out of spite lmao

But there are people who like to declare their ship as canon simply because they like it so much or because there is a slither of canon "evidence". Wolfstar is one of those ships. If a prospective TV show decides to stick with canon and not confirm wolfstar, or worst still, give either character a potential love interest other than each other, there will be uproar from some areas of the wolfstar ship. Likewise, if they do push the boat out and decide to go for wolfstar, or perhaps just hint at it, there will be uproar from the anti-wolfstar community. Once again, it just comes down to the fact that this fandom so often fails to have a polite debate or conversation.

3) Casting

The lack of official on-screen material on the MWPP era means that there is a lot of fancasting for characters from that era. Which is a good thing! I do it myself, sometimes. It's a great feeling when you find an actor/person and think "Omg it's *insert name here*!" There are some very popular fancasts for the MWPP characters (Off the top of my head, Ben Barnes for Sirius, Andrew Garfield for Remus, Timothee Chalamet for Regulus and that other guy who is always shown as James in the same group whose name I cannot remember), but the reality is that these actors are extremely unlikely to be cast in these roles in any official movie/series. Aside from the people in charge perhaps just not seeing them as the right fit, the images and clips that people use for these actors as their characters are from films that are about a decade old. The actors are not young 20-somethings who can get away with playing teenagers anymore. This is perfectly logical, but I can already see it fuelling criticism about whoever is cast in the roles that fans are so loyal to seeing their fancasts playing. Endless "This actor isn't right, THIS actor should have been cast instead!" posts incoming.

4) Abusive Blacks

Oh boy. The cherry on the cake. You all know how much I dislike the headcanon that Sirius's parents were physically abusive towards him. That's just my persona preference. If a potential show or film decided to roll with this angle then I would not be the biggest fan for sure, but oh well. But this is just yet another example of an area of the MWPP fandom which is so divisive. If they show the Blacks as beating Sirius or cursing him til he's almost dead, then there will be people in favour and people against. Likewise if they don't show this, there will be people either saying this is a good thing or saying they're "going against canon" (abusive Blacks isn't canon, deal with it). Posts on the matter will quickly dissolve into name calling and shouts of "abuse apologist". Fun times.

5) Peter

I personally have a bit of a thing about people who deliberately erase Peter from works on MWPP. Yes he turned out to be a traitor and a bad guy, but you can't deny he was there all together. He was there, he was their friend, and he was very much a part of the story. But that's just me. Ultimately, Peter's divisiveness means that any characterisation in any prequel movie/series will surely be judged harshly depending on how people choose to view him, regardless of canon. The writers will have a nightmare of a time trying to satisfy an audience which all share very differing opinions as to how a younger Peter should be portrayed on screen. I would not envy their task of trying to get the balance right.

In summary, there are so many reasons as to why a MWPP would just be far too divisive to be successful, in my view. Too many topics that the fandom can never agree over, too much potential for outcries of "This angle/actor/storyline is wrong", "The writers are being disloyal to canon", "This is basically canon why are you refusing to acknowledge it?", the list goes on. I feel like any potential enjoyment to be gained from a show would ultimately be tainted by how much arguing every little aspect would trigger. And for that reason, I feel like we never will get any official on-screen prequel from this era. What production company/producer/writer/actor/literally anyone involved would want to take on such a project?

Sirius: "Wormtail will have told Voldemort about my being an Animagus by now"

Me: "Somewhere beneath Malfoy Manor is a room full of black dogs that hapless Death Eaters have proudly presented to Voldemort with a declaration that they have 'definitely caught Sirius Black this time, honest' but cannot get him to change back"

Veterinary staff are a beautiful mixture of factual-thinking and intense superstition. 

Don’t ever remark on how smoothly the anaesthetic’s going, don’t ever assume the “just a booster” appointment will take 10 minutes, and for the love of God don’t even think about saying the Q-word.
