#but anyways it is A COMMIE REMUS

[polaroidcats]

I am having further thoughts about german Remus!

Born and raised in Chemnitz (obviously, duh.) but moved to Berlin to go to Uni and get out of Saxony - though he did miss his home and parents a lot!

He got the communism from his grandmother who is also concerningly romanticising the DDR - something Remus starts heavily arguing with her about when he's a teen, but he can never quite shake the homey feeling he gets around old East Germany paraphernalia.

After moving to Berlin he can't quite find the place he'd hoped for and still feels like he's somewhat on the side lines. So after finishing his bachelor he decides to get his masters degree in Manchester. He isn't sure how well he will fare in the UK but he just wants a change - and a place where he can start fresh and more confidently (he doesn't 😅🫠)!

He has a very faint german accent in English that he is inappropriately self-conscious about, sleeps with his edition of Das Kapital tucked under his arm at night and shys away from all confrontation - UNLESS IT'S ABOUT KARL. Then he will argue you against the wall, calmly but determined (that's how Sirius really falls for him, he thinks that's so hot).

MORE BELOVED GERMAN REMUS THOUGHTS!!! <3

ofc he was born in chemnitz, he never stood a chance not to develop a deep obsession with karl, the poor boy!! and yesss to the complicated feelings about DDR paraphernalia, he definitely goes thru different phases there but he can never fully lose the nostalgia and homely feeling when he sees them even though he also sees things more critically as he grows up.

ahhhhh i love this silly boy and his karl marx obsession hehehehe <33

What’s up w german remus? lol

German Remus is everything to me. He is a vibe. He is a lifestyle. He's extremely left leaning and loves a political demonstration. He has complicated feelings about East Germany. He's cosy. He actually hates the cold, but still makes sure he he practices lüften in the winter because he's not about to let mold in his apartment. He seems serious, but actually has the most wicked sense of humour and his smile powers entire cities. He always slathers his fries in Pommes-Soße and can be found eating Döner Kebab and smoking a cigarette that he rolled himself behind a bin at 3am. He rides a vintage racing bike. He reads der Schimmelreiter by Theodor Storm once a year—not because it's good, but because it made him feel something. He loves small Cafés where he can sit outside and read with his Kaffee and Kuchen. When he spends time in Berlin, they actually let him in to Berghein—not because he's cool, but because he looks so pathetic and unbothered that he actually suits the vibe. His favourite musical artists are Trettmann, ENNIO and TYM, but catch him dancing and screaming the lyrics to 99 Luftballons at der Klub. He loves a wheat beer, but prefers Kölsch, and if you try to make him drink Astra, he will throw up. Update: I've been informed he's a Sterni guy, and honestly I see it.

@lilacella and @polaroidcats have been doing Gott's work, bringing beautiful collages to us. You should absolutely go and check them all out!!

If you need more evidence of German Remus being everything and then some, please read Berlin Angel by @de-sire-blog or Seventeen Hours by @eyra. Cat also told me to rec where are we now? by lady_grey. (there is also the German Remus Lupin tag on ao3)

Finally, if you haven't read Cat's antifa wolfstarbucks ft. commie Remus YOU MUST.

Anyways, as you can see I have no thoughts or feelings about this at all.

[neongreenllama]

You said Antifa Wolfstarbucks and who am I to disagre????? Here are some random unorganised thoughts, just pure word vomit straight from my brain into your inbox!! you're welcome/I'm sorry!!

So Sirius and James probably go to protests all the time, they're such a good team (thinking of that drabble you wrote for the trick or treat ask a while ago <3). But one time they get separated at a protest and Sirius randomly bumps into this guy who's just dancing to Bella Ciao, eyes closed, like the world around him doesn't exist. As established, Sirius is gone for him, listens to Cordula Grün on repeat, we know the drill. Sirius and James eventually find each other again and Sirius can't shut up about the guy he just saw, and how perfect and hot he is. I think Sirius and James are already in a relationship at that point, but they're open and love telling each other about their crushes and other partners/dates. Maybe they're even relationship anarchists? 🖤

So anyways a week or so later they're at a soli party and Sirius is busy playing table football against Peter and James is just out there being a social butterfly, socializing with everyone at the party becoming bffs with anyone who doesn't run away quickly enough, and then he sees Remus, sitting in a corner, reading Karl Marx because he's not like other commies, he actually reads Marx and he needs everyone to know it, you know? James casually walks over to Remus and starts a conversation about Marx, and at first Remus takes one look at James and sighs, thinking he's just another rich guy who doesn't get it but the longer they talk the more he realizes James is actually kind of smart and knows what he's talking about? AND he's cute?? But then James's boyfriend comes over and gives off the WEIRDEST vibes ever, poking James in the ribs, raising his eyebrows and telepathically communicating something to James that Remus doesn't understand at all. James's boyfriend may be the hottest person Remus has ever seen but he's definitely giving off super weird and awkward vibes when he pulls James to the side and says, a bit too loudly, "James, das ist Cordula Grün!!!!" whatever the fuck that means, anarchist weirdos, speaking in code.

Anyways James is very excited by this revelation and goes to buy them all some more beers and maybe a round of Pfeffi, and then another and then another, and James and his boyfriend are now sitting next to Remus on the couch, his little communist manifesto book long forgotten, now being used as a coaster for the Sterni bottle. Anyways, the party eventually dies down but they're not done with their political discussions, reform vs revolution isn't something that can be settled over just 3 drinks, so James casually mentions that his and Sirius's flat is near by, they could stop by a Späti for some more drinks and maybe some snacks or other stuff and continue this at home?

And Remus is so oblivious, of course he goes with them to talk some more about politics, nothing else, what else would these two extremely hot guys who have been casually touching him all evening (in a purely platonic, very friendly way!!!) want from him? Sure, they were all joking about having a threesome and Sirius actually picked up condoms on their way home but they were only joking, they would never actually be into Remus? Sirius and James probably just needed condoms anyways so it just made sense that Sirius bought them when they were in the store. And if Sirius looked at Remus and asked him which brand he preferred that was purely so he didn't feel excluded when third wheeling a couple, which was so nice of him, looking out for his very platonic new friend. Remus is a bit sad they were only joking about the threesome because he really thinks Sirius and James are both extremely hot, AND they actually get Marx? They're basically his dream guys, but *sigh* they would never actually go for someone like Remus, who is he kidding?

So they get to their apartment, and Remus immediately goes to sit at the kitchen table, they're here to settle the age old reform vs revolution debate after all, but James and Sirius just give him a weird look, and James casually suggests the couch in the living room might be a bit more comfy? And Sirius puts out some candles, which he probably only does because his eyes are tired, so he needs soft lighting, that must be why. It's so funny, because he actually says "let me put on some candles for mood lighting, to make it a bit more romantic for us", and Remus just laughs, he loves Sirius's sense of humor, that guy is so funny!! He even kissed him on the mouth when he said it, just a quick little peck and then he got all flustered and red in the face, probably because James was watching them with a grin. They're such good new friends, Remus really likes them and hopes he will get over his crushes quickly so he can actually become friends with them!

Remus is so happy when he sees they have all the books of Das Kapital in their flat, and he stands in front of the bookshelves, looking fondly at his hero, Karl Marx, when James comes up behind him and gives him a back massage, which is so nice of him, Remus did mention he carried a lot of tension in his back, and James is such a nice guy and already a good friend for taking care of him like that.

Sirius puts on music [sidenote: wolfstarbucks playlist? there are SO MANY songs called Liebe zu Dritt, it took me a while to find the one I was thinking of LOL!] and Remus can't NOT dance, it's just such a deep instinct, he hears good music - he has to dance! The lyrics are really funny to him, again another classic example of Sirius's sense of humor!! And the lyrics even mention communism, so he feels very seen. James has gone from massaging his back to just holding his hips and swaying to the music with him and when remus looks back because he wants to compliment Sirius's music choices he sees them making out?? And at first he's a bit taken aback, because that's kind of rude to make him feel like such a third wheel but then Sirius grabs him and they all dance together and he honestly also thinks it's kind of hot that James and Sirius are so open with their love, and he loves watching them, so really, he doesn't mind if they occasionally kiss while they all dance. They keep giving him these looks though, and if he didn't know that they're way out of his league he would almost think they're prompting him to flirt back and kiss one of them? But surely he's mistaken, they couldn't possibly be into him, they're way too hot!!

NOT YOU SENDING ME AN ENTIRE FIC IN MY ASK BOX

Never apologize for your word vomit! (You call it unorganized thoughts but it's an entire fic) And it's Wolfstarbucks!!! WOLFSTARBUCKS EVERYONE STOP SCROLLING!!!! You have no idea how much I love this!!! I don't even know what to say this is perfect begnning to end

I love the Prongsfoot and their amazing communication and being completely open with each other and trusting and 🥺

Ad Remus "I'm not like the other girls" Lupin! And being completely oblivious the whole time!!?? Honeyyyyy, they're so obvious 😭😭😭 The candles and the dancing and the COndOmS bdjsksksjlsjdjd I can't

AND WHAT THEN??? CAT WHAT HAPPENS THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOPPING RIGHT THERE?!! 😭

Will Remus get it eventually? Or will he be say "well it was nice" and go home and everyone ends up totally disappointed? Will they see each other again? Or will they fuck and Remus remains oblivious the whole time? "Just friends doing each other a favor"? "They didn't want me to feel left out"??? Will they start dating and Remus will never know? What happens when he does figure it out? How happy will he be that those two hot amazing guys want him? How will they go to protests in the future? I NEED ANSWERS! If you ever decide to write a second part to this I will love you forever

i got an ask or two abt what i think abt ww so ok i guess here it goes.. im gonna skip a buncha spaces because there will be SPOILERS below the cut and i dont want mobile to get fucked

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

beep boop spoilers below

overall thought it was very average.. beginning was phenomenal up until right after the steve + lasso scene.. then after that it was pretty cringey up until they leave for the front (though the ice cream bit was cute and made me smile).. front scene & the village scene were both god-tier quality.. gala scene was just completely unnecessary and didn’t really serve any purpose other than to show gal looking stunning af.. rest of movie after that was pretty corny and uninteresting for me tbh

things i liked:

gal is flawless and i love her & all of the amazons

the fight choreography was pretty fucking good, especially in the village

i liked the scottish guy from their little group but i feel like the rest of the characters didn’t get that much development

music was really good

color grading was super nice

themyscira was incredible

things i didn’t like so much

honestly... the steve and diana romance seemed very rushed and unbelievable.. especially the first moments when he’s straight up naked it was so rom-commy i visibly cringed.. i would have preferred to see more friendship between steve’s secretary and diana rather than more steve scenes zz.. or just make gal only interested in havin sex with a dude for the novelty of the situation rather than trying to build an actual romance in like 30 min.. they either needed another hour on the movie or go in a different direction imo, their relationship was very weak 2 me.... maybe i just don’t like steve bc he’s a boring char lmfao

the whole ares plot was very weak tbh.. i thought it had a really good setup and thought they would do some cool ares-manipulating-people thing where he inhabits different people’s bodies to get them to continue the war or w/e but after the initial guy (who was obviously not ares) was killed, instead of there being any consequences of that ares just fuckin.. appears.. sup diana it was me the whole time.. idk it really took out a lot of the shock factor and kinda ruined the whole twist for me.. made me wonder what the point of the twist was when they weren’t gonna go anywhere with it anyways

however much i love the guy who played remus i don’t think he should have been ares.. like i felt like it would have been a way better Look if ares was just an entity that possessed random people, like instead of the battle being in that dude’s body he would abandon poor remus and become the manifestation of the god of war or w/e.. idk his face just did not look menacing behind that helmet lmfao

the whole end battle was super overdone but later i realised it was exactly like a comic book so maybe that was what they were going for.. one-liners and laser blasts.. i can definitely see geoff’s hand in that final battle scene lol that’s exactly how he wrote end of spectrum & darkseid wars

my only criticism of gal was that i don’t think she appeared distraught enough during the gassed village scene.. and also just didn’t display enough emotion in general (for me).. i get why they didn’t have her display that many emotions, because they had something to prove with the first female-led superhero movie and they would probably face a lot of criticism if gal appeared too emotional (bc female stereotypes) or w/e.. or maybe its just an issue with gal idk.. but i dunno by making her an actual god it kinda killed her relatability for me. i never identified that much with wonder woman but i wanted to at least empathize with her in some of the more emotional moments but i just found either the direction or her acting kind of lacking in those moments that were supposed to be super emotional. not my biggest concern with the movie, but it did make me less able to sympathize with her which is kinda what i look for in a solo char movie

they also never said how steve & the rest of the germans were able to get into themyscira.. i was thinking during the movie that it was ares letting them in to like, lure out diana or something, but nah.. they just never explained it

OH YEAH another thing that always pisses me off in movies in general........ everyone was speaking english. the germans. the amazons. ok fam!!!! i have the ability to read just do subtitles it really breaks my fuckin immersion

overall i guess i went in with too high expectations and came out disappointed (as I usually do).. movie was just incredibly average when i expected it to be exceptional. shrug!! im not really that big of a ww fan so i guess i dont really care abt it that much but i was hoping the movie made me become more of a ww fan and it just kinda reaffirmed that she isn’t really the char 4 me.. a god tier (literally) beautiful warrior who kicks ass.. nah.... can’t relate.... hal who slips on bath soap and knocks himself out in the morning.. that’s me fam that’s me.. overall this movie was a good thing for the industry & for women as a whole and i hope it makes tons and tons of money so that they will keep making women-led superhero movies but yeah.. just not the right char for me!
