Can you do a period comfort with Patrick Bateman or Cobble? I didn't see in your rules if you do or not do that, but if it makes you uncomfortable then you don't have to! x

Hey! I don’t mind doing this at all. I did already post a Patrick Bateman X reader on her period a while back I believe. So just scroll down on my page and you should see it, if you can’t find it shoot me another request or dm and I’ll send you it! I’ll be happy to do Dale rn tho!

Dale Kobble X reader on her period

Warnings: kidnapped reader, naked reader (not sexual)

You’ve been “living” with Dale for about a month now. Living is putting it nicely. He had become infatuated with you and one thing led to another, he had kidnapped you. Things were rocky between the two of you but slowly you both were building trust with each other.

One this particular cold winter morning you woke up to the unfortunate realization you started your period. You quickly sit up panicked because you see blood on his sheets. Slowly you felt yourself starting to shake with slight fear of how he would react. “Doll?” You heard him say softly, looking down at you tilting his head to the side. At first you didn’t respond trying to hold back the tears. “Ooooh what’s wrong my little angel?” Dale crouched down putting a gentle hand on your shoulder. Looking up at him you felt your tears streaming down your cheeks, panicked breathing. His eyes filled with concern, whining in confusion. Your eyes traveled down to the bloody wet spot on your leggings. His eyes followed growing wide when he saw. “Ooh my angel. That’s why you’re crying? Does it…hurt?” His face flushed a light pink. You swallowed back tears. “No…it doesn’t. I just…I got blood on your sheets. I’m so sorry please I didn’t mean to!” You couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. To your surprise he just started to giggle. You looked at him through your watery eyes confused. “Oh doll you think a little bit of blood would bother me?” He says darkly sending chills down your spine. Giggling, he still manages to get a sentence out. “Stay here my little angel I’ll go get you something to clean up with and a- I’ll get you what you need.” Dale says as he pats your head and stands up. You waited patiently down in the basement for about 10 minutes before you heard the door open and his foot steps on the creaky stairs. He was humming a song to himself, one you couldn’t recognize. When he came into view he was holding a damp towel, new underwear, a nightgown and a very bulky pad. Dale sat down beside you on the mattress. “Mmmm here you go doll. You can clean yourself with this and then put these on.” He hummed in excitement. You don’t move for a moment. He tilts his head in confusion. “Aren’t you going to close your eyes or turn around?” You whisper avoiding his eyes. Dale laughs. “Why mmmm would I do that angel?” He giggles to himself. Not wanting to make him mad you slowly started to take your leggings and underwear off. His eyes burning into you, your face turning beet red. You could also hear his breathing speed up. Reaching for the damp towel, he pulls back making it out of your reach. You glance up at him with confusion. “Mmmm what about your shirt? Oooooh you can’t forget about that.” He breathes in deeply. You shudder at his words but quickly take off your shirt, having no bra underneath. Now you sat there completely naked in front of the scary man. Satisfied, he hands you the cold, damp towel. You shiver at the coldness as you wipe your most sensitive spots clean. The light colored towel now stained with your blood. His eyes never once left your hands wiping yourself clean, occasionally his eyes wondered up to your bare chest. Once you were done “cleaning yourself” you handed him back the towel. Which he gladly took, he’ll definitely be keeping this and never washing it. Dale handed you the bundled up underwear. You slowly straightened them out noticing they weren’t one of the ones he got for you. Not wanting to make him mad you awkwardly pulled them up your legs stopping and leaving room to put your pad on. “Mmmmmm” he hummed out loud handing you the bulky pad. Which you happily took. Once you had finished with that the last thing he needed to give you was your nightgown, he didn’t though. His eyes fixated on your bare chest. Feeling self conscious you go to cover them with one arm. He grabs it and you jump. Dale laughs darkly. “Oooooooooh I just mmmm I want to look at them!” He whimpers. You find courage and speak up. “Please Dale I’m very very cold.” You plead with him. His eyes slightly squint but he lets go giving you the nightgown. Thankful, you quickly put it on. For a moment you both sit in silence. Some sick part of you just wanted him to hold you, make you feel safe and warm. You knew how wrong that was, maybe it was just the loneliness breaking you down. Whatever it was before you could stop yourself you spoke.

“Dale?” You say just above a whisper, part of you hoping he wouldn’t hear you. Of course he did though. “Yessss?” He said almost childishly. Immediately you regretted speaking up. Nonetheless you were so touch starved and lonely. “Well I was just…can we…well can we cuddle?” You let out a breath you didn’t realize you’d been holding. A wide, scary smirk formed on his face causing goosebumps to form all over your body. He whimpered and fidgeted with his rings. “Yes! Yes of course my dove. Mmmmm I’d love that so much.” He scoots up on the bed laying down holding his arms out for you. You hesitate but eventually lie down next to him, letting him hold you. His breathing was fast and loud. But almost comforting. You could feel Dale slowly starting to play with your hair. Making you relax and lean into his touch. Before you knew it you had fallen asleep, eventually Dale did too. Never letting you go.

I’m the passenger ending anon and I was more curious abt the last 3 minutes or so that’s all in a rosy “things are fine :)” kind of glow, it just seemed so disconnected from the rest of the movie. I LOVED bensons end scene I was eating it up Then hard cut to Things Are Ok :) Idk ! that’s why I asked bc ur no 1 passenger scholar on my dash

lol my bad, i probably should have realized that by "the ending" you meant the part that comes at the end 😅

i'll give a middling answer: it's alright. i mean, let's be honest, the passenger's strength isn't it's screenplay. there's a lot of good story in what mr. jack stanley wrote, but some of the pacing's a little bit awkward and a few things here and there don't make a ton of sense. that all kinda comes to a head in the last scene. but i don't want to throw too many stones, because i'm definitely no great writer, and i've alway found endings especially difficult. and ultimately, i do think the ending works.

even though it's a rough transition from the penultimate scene to the final scene, i appreciate that they took some time to show the positive aftereffects of randy's no good very bad day. there's a definitely a lot of information packed into that very short scene, and some of it feels cool, some of it feels weird. i'm glad that randy's standing up to his mom and going to hang out with friends. but who are these friends? did he have friends before that he just didn't mention? or did he make new ones between his kidnapping and now? his arm's still in a sling, so it feels like not that much time has passed . . . i like that he's kept in touch with ms. beard, but i hope he's doing a little more job-wise than just babysitting for her. his scene with hardy in the beginning showed us that he's in dire need of imagining a substantial future for himself. maybe he could teach! or become a librarian! i do like that they brought in ms. beard's daughter tessa, because for me the movie is all about children. it's about hurt children! and it's about how we need to do a better job of loving and helping and protecting our children! i know some people think it's pretty morbid and fucked up that randy teaches tessa the game that took her mom's eye out, but i actually think it's great that randy can accept that, yeah, it was just an accident, and he can trust himself to play this game for children without history repeating itself. and if it does, if tessa takes his eye out, then he can help her be strong and forgiving of herself like he's learned to be.

i'll admit that's it's all a little bit too tidy and saccharine. so i'm grateful that there are hints that randy's isn't totally fixed. if anything, he's got new, sexier, and possibly even worse problems. this is evidenced in three ways: he's got benson's jacket, someone was doodling a picture of two guys in a car (i've seen some people posit that randy drew the picture, but i hear that and think *jenna maroney voice* "did you draw that, randy? you might need help, because that is awful for an adult." i also think it's hilarious and sad and wonderful if randy found a way to tell tessa about him and benson and she illustrated it), and then finally we get the last shot as icing on the "oh boy this guy's gonna be fucked up forever" cake.

yes the ending is a bit clunky and perhaps even tonally out of step, but the last shot kinda made the whole movie for me. when i first saw the camera pan over to the stuffed animals and "supersoaker md50" kicked in, i SCREAMED! that was so killer! it was heart-wrenching! it was funny! and it was a good time! just like the whole movie! so yeah, the entire end scene maybe isn't all that great, but that last shot was. idk how i would have made the ending any better, so one great final shot is good enough for me.

Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.

Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!

It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!

I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha

I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then

I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...

The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.

It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.

Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.

I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.

I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.

Do you think yan neuvillette spanks us with his cane as a corporal punishment 😔😔

okay okay listen!! i have thought about this!! (absolutely i have did we expect anything else?) but the short answer is no.

HOWEVER!! listen as to why stay with me okay.

His cane is meant to symbolise this high standing and that justice will be carried out so he does use it to showcase the clear imbalance of power between his darling and him. Things like: using it to make you straighten your back while tapping you, making you remember the 'proper way to sit', hitting your knee so that you kneel down in front of him, and, of course, tilting your head up so you look at him. the classical 'sword tilt' but cane style if you will.

however, the biggest reason he doesn't use it for spanking is because he simply loves to use his own hands. the warmth that spreads, his hand print as proof over how much he 'owns' you !! think about it!! if his sword is the symbol, his hands are the proof of his power and punishments. he is a bit sick like that :// and i am into it : ))

Saw some people sending you songs and I had an idea based off Take Me Down by The Pretty Reckless

Au where Adam is a guy who wants to be a rock star and decides to do the most rock&roll thing ever by making a deal with the devil. Needless to say he is very loudly disappointed when, after standing at the crossroads all night, Luci shows up looking and acting the way he does but decides to make the deal anyway. Of course it fucking works and he becomes the hottest new shit in rock. The only problem is that every once in a while that dweeby devil shows up, seemingly just to bother him… oh yeah, and the whole signing away his soul/doomed to hell thing

YESSSS YESSSSSS DEAL WITH THE DEVIL AU HAHA

Those are always a treat! And this is a good song to pair it up with! God, the pure CHAOS and SHENANIGANS that this scenario would bring! Truly a romantic comedy lmao

[skyafied]

if you are still taking requests, could you draw heavy surrounded birds like a disney princes and medic looking lovingly from the distance

Hey anon how does it feel to have an absolutely massive brain, like just ginormous

[flugame-mp3]

what do you fucking mean that's how charlie dies. THAT'S HOW CHARLIE DIES??? i mean i know the show has a penchant for killing off every character who's not a winchester brother or an angel of thursday but good god. what the fuck. charlie was such a good and enjoyable recurring character, and she had such a fandom impact that i've seen, and she's only around for THREE SEASONS?? (sidebar: it's amazing she has the presence she does for only being around for a couple episodes in the long run!) but: was this necessary? and she just dies offscreen after her skills are utilized to progress the plot of decoding the book of the damned?? oh my god. what in the actual fuck. i'm finding myself getting genuinely very upset at her death. she did not fucking deserve that. and i can absolutely see why the fan response to her death is what it is now. completely fucking unjustified and throwaway and useless.

[macksartblock]

Can you tell us what an evil normal's family dynamic is like in this au :))))

Being super honest - haven’t thought about it before now LOL but now that you’ve got me started it will be long

That being said, I think his family dynamic would start off fairly similar to that in the podcast. Things would get slippery after the dance, with Sparrow’s “not proud of you” speech.

Normal wouldn’t be completely vulnerable to Willy’s manipulation at that point BUT it was stated Normal has sorta been set up to be vulnerable to cult-like manipulation - albeit accidentally - by Rebecca’s parenting.

Personally, I think Normal would have the strongest attachment to his mother, in this circumstance. She’s just as unaware of this vulnerability she instilled in him, as he is. Not to say their relationship would be entirely healthy, but it would be the least hostile.

However, Willy could definitely have a strong influence on him and seems the type who’d actively insert doubts in Norm’s mind, surrounding his family. Like given enough ammunition from the twins behaviour, it would not. be. hard.

Already within the Oak-Swallows-Garcia family, there seems to be some brick work laid out for Triangulation. Whether intentionally or not, the adults in the house have set Normal and Hero up against one another. This - from personal experience - is very impactful, especially on children. So, the way I see this progressing is Normal and Hero’s relationship would worsen HORRENDOUSLY.

Unlike the typical argumentative behaviour we’ve seen with them, it would develop to genuine disdain for one another. Normal siding with Willy would put Hero right back in the Chosen One slot. The weight of that burden not only from her parental figures, but unintentionally from her brother would be soul crushing. Normal would hate her for being on this pedestal, and Hero would hate him for putting her back up there.

The twins dynamic with him would be interesting. I see him and Sparrow having a dynamic similar to that of post-rogue card Lark and Henry. With Willy’s influence, Sparrow would have a very difficult time getting through to Normal - whether he says the wrong thing or Normal is too caught up in his own anger, it’s like chipping into rock with a fucking spoon.

In Lark’s case, it’s like staring into a mirror. The anger. The resentment. All it took was a push from the wrong person and that happy, carefree kid might as well be dead and buried. Now we’ve seen Lark step in to apologize on Sparrow’s behalf a few times. With this, I think Normal would harbour some trust in Lark.

Of course, their relationship would still be difficult at the height of this whole twisted lil game. But Normal craves validation from those around him. Most importantly, that of a father figure. If Lark - seeing his nephew going through something so terribly familiar and damaging - were to attempt bridging the gap, I think it would be such a big impact on Normal.

Long story short: the whole family would need counselling, they are in such a state of emotional ruin

I know you were taking song suggestions a couple of months ago but I only found this one now. Tell Me That You Love Me from Victorious fits Danny and Manny surprisingly well!

Oh my god you're right, I locked this into my tigerghost playlist within like the first three lines.

*Screams in doomed greyghost and amethystocean at this section specifically cus ya'll know I believe that the second Manny spent more than three seconds around Danny his thoughts were "How the fuck is this downright handsome and amazing person single?"*

Honestly all I can imagine while listening to this song is the two of them slow dancing and just gazing lovingly at one another the entire time.

do you have any advice or tutorials on how to draw (specifically color) like you do? i admire your artstyle a lot and I want to learn how you do things ( ˶ •́ ω •̀ ˶ )

got this question a few other times so ill attempt to explain how I personally color (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

whipped up a small guide (?) but ill explain in more detail some stuff here

• when picking shadow colors i specifically aim for cooler colors (i use very cool ones for the darkest shadows)

• i dont use pure black or white since it can make the drawing look more flat for an artstyle like mine!

• tip for backgrounds, try making the colors blend together more (with blending modes if u want!) so that the characters stand out more. i also make the character + anything i want to stand out more bright and saturated

• adding onto the last point, i reccomend using complementary (aka opposite colors) for contrast

• i dont really do this myself cuz i forget but make sure u dont get caught up in details! a good tip is to color your sketch so you can play around with the colors more easily and to make sure your drawing has good contrast from a distance

• little bonus lineart tip.. line weight! i reccomend finding more in depth videos about this but a simple explination is: thicken your lineart in places where parts are heavier (ex. bottom of a lock of hair or thick shirt) and for anything you want to stand out especially w backgrounds, then the lines thinner for small details

• also just a personal touch of mine, little doodles like stars n hearts really help everything come together and fill in empty space!

these r just some things that have helped me with my art, remember these arent rules! experiment with ur art till u find something you like, study others artwork, take tips from others and adapt them to your own work!!

im not good at explaining but i love rambling about art and i hope u can find a few things in here useful (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)🫶

Have you ever heard of a British puppet series called Strange Hill High? From it's artstyle alone, I think it'd be something you'd enjoy.

Oh man! I haven't before, but I looked it up and its awesome! I love the mixed style of the puppets/cg!! I watched a few episodes and I dig it, the humors great too xDD Totally up my alley!

[pigeon-butch]

i know we haven't spoken before but i felt you should know you've been one of my favorite pigeon bloggers for the entire time i've been following you. im the kind of lesbian who thinks other lesbians with my same interests are the coolest people ever, so posting about pigeons is already cool but a butch posting about pigeons is WOAW. and quinn's coloration is my favorite pigeon color, i don't have strong attachments toward specific breeds but i fell in love with pigeons from seeing images of brown and white pigeons. so in my head you are Cool Butch From Tumblr Who Has God's Perfect Bird

HI THIS IS SO SWEEEET AHHHH

[cxpperhead]

"You'll be surprised how bad I can hurt you if you try anything stupid."

He's not kidding. There's a dull crack as Copperhead realigns his lower jaw, snapping it back into place after a punch or three had dislocated it. A quick yawn ensures nothing had been permanently damaged but he does not attempt to bite the man again. Had Copperhead been born an ordinary human, he had no trouble believing he'd be nursing a broken jaw right about now, and understood this was no ordinary foe he was dealing with. "So I can imagine. You must be the one they call the Punisher." He responds calmly, eyeing the iconic skull emblazoned across the other man's chest. Copperhead supposes he should be grateful all he's gotten so far is a punch to the face - the things he'd heard about this man and what he did to his enemies could turn anybody's blood cold. Still, that didn't mean he'd simply give in. Copperhead had a job to do and couldn't afford to waste precious time and energy playing cat and mouse with the vigilante when a contract was still alive. The end of his tail gropes around blindly, slitted eyes fixated on that of his foe's while the end of his tail slowly wraps around the leg of a nearby wooden chair.

"But you must understand I've got no quarrel with you. You've got bigger fish to catch in this city." Copperhead remarks before the chair goes flying, in an attempt at forcing an opening between himself, Frank Castle and the closest exit.

What kind of abilities do you think the jashlings would have as DST characters?

 I HAVE THOUGHT SO MUCH ABOUT THIS THANK YOU SO  SO MUCH FOR ASKING THIS

 So about individual abilities:

Heart would have a big advantage at night, because he’s already mostly blind and wears the blindfold most of the time he’s already used to the dark, so he would lose sanity a bit slower than others and also would have no problem picking up things in the dark. He would have higher health than most characters but it’s compensated by lower sanity. 

Mind,since she has mechanical hands, wouldn't take damage if she picks up a burning/smoldering object. She would have higher sanity than most characters but it’s compensated by lower health.

Soul  has average stats (loser), he's a bit faster than others but only at dusk, there’s also their trident (I’ll get to that in a bit).

I also thought about each of them having their own individual items they can craft 

So Mind’s would be her crown, which would be crafted with rocks, boulders and gold (I was thinking marble too but it’s a bit harder to obtain that the other minerals I mentioned so idk.) It would essentially have as much durability (8 days) and sanity boost as a top hat (so +3.33/min), it would also give her a speed boost during the day but would make her attacks weaker, at dusk and night she would just walk normally. The crown only gives said benefits to Mind, if any other character wears it their sanity would decrease.

Heart would have his blindfold which would be crafted with silk, petals and grass (or reeds) and like Mind’s crown it will increase his sanity (about +2/min)  and have as much durability as the garland (6 days), the difference is he will lose sanity if it’s not being worn during the day, he’s fine without it at night and dusk, he would only lose a bit less sanity than other characters like I mentioned,regardless if he’s wearing the blindfold or not. His blindfold would also make his attacks stronger at night. It only works on Heart too, if any other character wore it they would decrease their sanity.

Soul would have his trident which would be the hardest item to craft out of the 3 since they would need boulders, marble and gold (not super hard to find materials but would probably take a while to obtain enough of all of them), it would be used as a weapon and it would would deal about as much damage as a tentacle spike (so 51 damage per hit.) The advantage of it is that at dusk whatever he attacks with their trident will get Soul’s sanity to increase, if they attack anything with it at night or during the day it will decrease  their sanity. If he manages to get a red gem he can put it in the trident and the attacks would be even stronger, but so would be the sanity aura of it. And like the other two only they (Soul) can use the trident, if any other character tries to pick up the trident it would decrease their sanity significantly (even more than the blindfold or crown). In addition Heart's and Mind’s sanity will decrease if they’re near Soul while he's using the trident.

I also think it would be cool if each of their items could only be crafted at specific times, Heart’s blindfold at night, Mind’s crown during the day and Soul’s trident at dusk.

☕️ wolfstar vs prongsfoot!! thoughts 🎤

omg thank you so much :D what a tasty topic to talk about!

(it got so long im putting it under the cut 😅)

[important note: this is how i feel about those ships, not a meta which ship is better/more canon]

i need to preface with saying that im a wolfstar shipper, first and foremost. I wasnt shipping prongsfoot from the beginning (I wasnt shipping any non-canonical couples while reading / right after finishing the books tbh. shortly after entering the fandom I encountered wolfstar and that might be a major reason why I still ship them). but I do see the appeal of prongsfoot, and I am a proud wolfstarbucks enjoyer. (also note that I imagine them by default in their 20s, so before Azkaban, but after Sirius runs away, but i will talk about book canon too). But enough personal lore. 

prongsfoot is an amazing ship and in a different universe it would be The Ship of The Marauders / MWPP fandom - have some things happened differently (if we got more actual James content earlier than the 5th book). They are joined at the hip, they invented the two-way mirrors to talk during detentions, Sirius runs away and the Potters take him in, Sirius is bored and James tries to lighten him up by bullying Snape, James trusts Sirius with his literal life. They are each other's favorite person, they would fight for each other, stand up for each other, give their life for the other. They are soulmates, two sides of the same coin, and they do love each other, there is no denying that. Also they are both attractive, capable and competent, so I 100% get the appeal of this ship. However most of the time (not always, just, usually) i see their love as unrequired, romantically speaking. (they love each other and sirius is in love with james - that is true, for me, in every universe - i.e. in canon and in wolfstar concepts/scenarios. however james being in love with sirius romantically is true in prongsfoot-aligned universes) 

Narratively (canonically) speaking, both ships are extremely tragic (and thats what makes both of them interesting*). James dies at 21 and Sirius blames himself for it for the rest of his life, gets locked up in torture prison, and cannot even make up for it by fulfilling his role as a godfather. // Sirius and Remus lose trust in each other during the war, believe the other is the traitor, and even after they miraculously reunite their time together is cut short with Sirius being on a run and then dying. 

But there's one thing that makes wolfstar so compelling to me - they get each other, on some level that nobody else gets access to. 

[note: we are entering headcanon and projection territory, from the pov of a r/s shipper]

I'm not saying James doesn't understand or support Sirius - of course he does. James would be on Sirius’s side no matter what - even if everyone else thinks Sirius is wrong, even if he knows he is wrong. They are ride or die. They also understand each other on a, lets say, intellectual level - they are both exceptionally intelligent, they always agree with each other and they do everything together (bullied Snape, made the map (yeah, remus and peter helped), became animagi (peter was there too i guess), joined the order at the same time etc). 

But there is some part of Sirius that I think James never truly grasps and Sirius never feels truly understood even though he knows james loves and supports him. And thats what makes wolfstar so special to me, bc I think that Remus does get Sirius. 

Wolfstar get each other in a way that they recognize some part - ugly, twisted, buried deeply and hidden from everyone - in the other. They are both deeply misunderstood, traumatized by their childhoods and oppressed by society - just in different ways - and there is no one else who truly gets them on this level. 

While Remus had a relatively happy childhood and caring parents, he was turned when he was five and then later learned it was partially his father’s fault, and was virtually isolated from his peers until he went to Hogwarts; he has a much lower social status than J & S, he is poor and can't find a job (especially after POA) and is generally having a bad time because of his lycanthropy. 

Sirius was emotionally and psychologically abused by his parents that expected him to be the perfect pureblood heir and then, after making his life so miserable he run away, cut him off; also if I remember correctly artemisia-black wrote a meta about Sirius being a victim of the society he was born to “rule”. At the same time, while he is a pureblood, when he runs away he loses the heir status and for a bit (a year? i think?) he has no money to his name. And obviously he is tortured during Azkaban, and then later he is an ex-con on a run with a bounty on his head. 

I also think they both carry some self-loathing in their hearts (just, again, different kinds). Sirius hates himself in a “I was born wrong and deep down I’m evil (and I have to work my whole life to make up for this” way (partially bc he was born in a bigoted abusive family. partially bc he is a scorpio i guess). Remus hates himself in a “I am unworthy of love and I don't deserve nice things” way. 

They are so different - probably couldn't be more different - their personalities and worldviews and even values don't match - and yet there is no one else now who understands the other better.

And then, after POA, turns out they are the only ones left – moreover, they did not only go through the same war, they went through the exact same loss. 

And I do think its evident in canon, to some extent. They reunite after Azkaban and immediately forgive each other – to me it speaks volumes about their relationship pre-Azkaban. How they almost seem like they are reading each others minds in the shack scene, the way they are so ready to murder Peter, and to do it together, how they fall back into a familiar rhythm. They forgive each other 12 years of heartbreak and loneliness and in Sirius’s case torture and knowing the other thought they were a traitor in one short conversation. Would Sirius ask for forgiveness for believing Remus was the traitor if he didnt care about him? Would he accept Remus’s own apology? 

Anyways. 

It turned into a meta about wolfstar. Im. so sorry. 

I'm not saying wolfstar is more “canon” - bc it isn't, especially from the doylist perspective (jkr didnt intend for them to be read as a couple). But I did read the metas proving that wolfstar is canon written while the books where coming out and my heart breaks for those people who still had hope back then. It also doesnt really matter which is more canon (its prongsfoot) (but again, not from the doylist perspective). 

In conclusion, I like prongsfoot and I do think its a very good ship I ship them in a more passive way - i reblog metas and fanarts, I have one fic idea that technically starts with prongsfoot and sometimes I read fics, but i dont think about them enough to call myself a prongsfoot shipper per se. But I do think Sirius is in love with James, even while shipping him with Remus. I know I sound like a broken record, but Im once again bringing up wolfstarbucks - I do ship prongsfoot in the wolfstarbucks context, but not so much on their own, if that makes sense - and not bc I dont get the appeal, bc I do. But Im also delusional and Ive been shipping wolfstar for way too long to abandon this ship now, even if shipping them is very impractical (for various reasons). 

*also i think it interesting that i mostly engage with domestic fluff, hurt/Comfort, angst-with-a-happy-ending, fix-it type of fics. its not bc i wish things happened differently in canon (maybe besides sirius dying but thats a separate, not shipping, issue). wolfstar is tragic, in a way, but i very rarely engage in canon-compliant type of content. however I wouldnt be interested in wolfstar if it wasnt tragic. i know many people have different approaches to shipping, and it might be weird to see someone talk about how tragic wolfstar is and the turn around and talk about how happy they are in a seaside cottage or whatever. tragedy of wolfstar makes it interesting for me and a seaside cottage makes me happy bc i get sad when i think about canon. also did i mention im a delusional person.
