The Cadence of Part-Time Poets

The Cadence of Part-Time Poets by @motswolo

Have been working on this 10 volume set for the past few months now, and they are finally complete. My Magnum Opus. I have peaked and probably depleted all of my brain power.

Thank you to @motswolo for writing such a beautiful story. My brain chemistry has been favourably altered. Will forever flinch when I hear Queen, The Beatles or Bob Dylan. Love to you from western Canada (west coast best coast lets gooooo).

I also posted a TikTok of these since posts here are limited and I love the insides as much as the covers, so if you wanna see between the pages, here’s that.

Also thank you @avisbindery for letting me scream and cry in your DMs while I read the fic. May you get some uninterrupted sleep now LOLLL.

Going to write a whole essay below about the ideas and details because uhhh I wanna yap bit!

So for starters, I wanted to make these binds look like magazines because of the epilogue where (spoiler) Tonya sees Remus in a copy of New Musical Express. But of course this fic is long, so I was like, what if I do multiple volumes? This very quickly spiralled into me painstakingly (finding publication-accurate fonts almost sent me to an early grave) recreating 10 different music-focused magazines from the 70s and 80s from scratch (thank you to Photoshop, Affinity, Procreate and Canva). Each volume features a unique cover, along with stylized typesets to match that display the songs for each chapter but in different designs. And then I went a little crazy and made a 45 sleeve and a cassette too, to really set the scene when I took the photos lol

While the covers display the dates pertaining to the contents of that particular volume (Sept 1975 for volume one, for example) I was thinking about what the magazines would say if they were really published when Marauders are traipsing about being spectacular and famous in the future. I sprinkled in details from the fic itself and fanon-ed it a bit, but that was the general inspiration :-) Tried to keep the photos used either faceless/obscured, or to use the fancasts on Mots’ Cadence master post. I also tried to use period-accurate photos but didn’t always succeed, so settled for photos of 4 member bands where I had to :”) But the general intent with the facelessness was that they could be implied to be Marauders. If you squint? lol. Just pretend. Pls.

Volume One: Based upon The Record Song Book. This magazine went on to inspire the typesets, since it publishes lyrics and such. The cover images are of Spacey Jane and David Thewlis.

Volume Two: Based on ZigZag, specifically the issue from July 1978 featuring Siouxie and the Banshees just because I thought it looked sick as fuck. I re-drew the abstract shapes and such in procreate. The cover images are The Clash and a young Gary Oldman. Lord he was foiiine.

Volume Three: Based on Trouser Press, November 1980. The cover images are a young Metallica, and my personal fav fan cast for James, Reiky De Valk. The film negatives are from a Bruce Springsteen tour, 1976.

Volume Four: Based on Gay Times (November 1984), a queer magazine from the UK because this volume contains Wolfstars first kiss hehe. Also hence Somebody To Love plastered all over the covers. The Front cover is Inhaler. The “4A” on this one is of course the boys’ dorm number, but I made the A the lambda symbol as this was a pride symbol in the 70s after Stonewall.

Volume Five: Based on Melody Maker. Front image is Alex Turner. All of the text on this one is pulled directly from the fic. The scene where they all drop acid and James jumps off the roof Almost Famous style had me hootin’ and hollerin’… until Tomny showed up hahaha :”)

Volume Six: Based on IT (International Times, Aug 1971). Front image for this one is Joy Division, and the back features Jane Asher for Lily

Volume Seven: Based on Record Mirror, June 1976. Front image is John Taylor of Duran Duran. Yum.

Volume Eight: Based on Rolling Stone. More vibes than anything for this one, but the quote still makes me laugh.  Front image is of Matt Hitt. Can you tell I photoshopped a cell phone out of this one? IDK. This photo just screamed ‘Remus’ to me so I had to use it. The back image is an old cigarette ad, but the photo is taken in Shepherd’s Bush.

Volume Nine: Based on Fusion magazine. Front image for this one is once again Inhaler. Oops. Back cover is our gals. Images are Jodie Foster as Cherry, Brenda Sykes as Mary, and Goldie Hawn as Lottie.

Volume Ten: Based on New Musical Express. You know why :”) These are all victims of fanon, but this one especially. I wanted it to be NME instead of the re-invented logos I’d been doing for all the rest, as I wanted it to look like the magazine the Sister gives to Tonya. I referred to an issue of NME from October 1979 for this and layered in fic references where it made sense to. The cover image for this one is (I think) Cigarettes After Sex. This issue also contains all of the B-Side chapters, and the Marauders song lyrics too just for fun :)

Slasher Chick: This is just my take on what Sybill’s zine could’ve looked like. Prob way off but I just wanted to have fun with this one since I had no cover to reference lol. The zine contains her little write-up and the interview, lifted straight from the fic :")

ok yap sesh over byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lmfaooooo

Tempo Rubato: robbed time

Christmas break 1976 at Tomny and Tonya's Flat

I love these three from @motswolo Cadence of Part-time Poets marauders fic. It’s Remus and two OCs Tonya and Tomny. Finished reading coptp months ago, loved it so much, and this scene had been a sketch for ages in my drafts. The appearance is loosely based off an old tumblr post mentioning headcanons by motswolo. The painting is inspired by a scene in chapter 45, one of my favourites, of the them getting haircuts in the bathroom.

The Cadence of Part-time Poets by @motswolo

Can I just say I don’t think I’ll ever read anything better and I might have to give up fanfiction as a whole; Harry Potter/Marauders fanfiction, anyway, because I dont think I’ve ever read anything so gorgeous— it might be better than The Perks of Being a Wallflower; my favorite book that I’ve only ever read once out of fear that reading it again will push me off a ledge I couldn’t ever come back from.

I will reread The Cadence of Part-time Poets, because I don’t really care about the ledge I’ll get pushed off of— that’s how fucking brilliant it is.

Glorious.

Dramatic review? Maybe. But I’ve found that several people online have stated they stalled on reading the last two chapters because they didn’t want to finish reading it. I’ve never been one to keep myself from reading the ending of any story, especially one I love so much.

That being said, I’m on the last chapter before the epilogue, and I can’t bring myself to start it yet. Not until I stop crying about Remus Lupin and I don’t have work the next day.

I’ll update with an in-depth review (spoilers included) once I finish it, if I can ever bring myself to try to put everything I feel about this work into words.

Before reading, let me give you some advice if you’re like me and (understandably) hesitate before reading a near million-word fanfiction

1. Don’t read it until you’re ready to

It’s a monster. I put off reading it for a year or two and the timing never felt right until now. I couldn’t be more happy that I waited until it was right (it also took me an entire week and a half, which is long for me.

2. Don’t stress over not liking the OCs, because you will— Jesus F. Chopin, I promise you will love the OCs in this fic like nothing else.

Every lovely thing everyone said about Tomny and Tonya? True and wonderful and GLORIOUS I love them so much.

3. It isn’t going to be exactly what you expect it to be—

It’s going to be so much more.

@motswolo , thank you for this. I’m sure you get this all the time, but The Cadence of Part-time Poets touched my soul like nothing else. It made me smile and cry and it made me angry and lovesick and heartbroken and it made me feel understood.

I deal with bi-polar depression, and the way your Remus Lupin thinks makes me feel like I’m reading my own internal monologue. It has me crying and laughing and loving with him.

It revived my love for rock and roll, and Mary Macdonald understood my love for ABBA; Sirius Black, “Bohemian Rhapsody”. You understand my love of music.

I will update this post once I finish these last couple of chapters. For now, I leave you with this screenshot of the comments section that made me laugh.

(disclaimer, neither of the replies are true, but some may still consider this a spoiler, so tread lightly)

motswolo, you charmer, I think I’m half in love with you.

The Evolution Of A Wolfstar Girlie

(with my fic recommendations)me aged 10-23: there will never be a book I like more than Harry Potter. I love books and read all the time but Harry Potter is above anything. Reread HP everytime I am feeling down.

me aged 24-30: I lost the ability to read for pleasure. Just read to my kids and A LOT for work.

me at 31: *after a random tiktok video* Sirius and Remus were TOGETHER together?! Never even crossed my mind!!!

But... I get it.

But like... JKR didn't write it. Fanfic is just amateurs writing, right? I have enough of reading as is, I have to read for my job (I'm a translator).

But... They promised it's a HP experience. And I do have an eReader... It costs nothing to try it.

But... What the hell is ao3? What is smut??? Fluff??? HEA? MCD??? Cannon?? AU? Excuse me, is this English?!

The following then happend over 2 months time:

📖 Reading All the Young Dudes

OK, this is really very much like HP. I am getting hooked. This is ACTUALLY what happend, right? Like this is amazingly written. How is this not a real book? (What IS a real book and how do I not know this being a book translator?!) Are Sirius and Remus getting together in this one?

Oh my!

Actually, I've not been this obsessed with a book in like 10+ years.

Reading all through the night (with three kids, mind you, so a very stupid idea)

🎶Love this music!!! Have always loved rock, Queen, Beatles, Bowie, led Zeppelin… You name it. But this makes it better!!!

Finishing ATYD: OMG! OMG! I AM OBSESSED. They need to be together forever. I need to re-read it.

A SEX SCENE in Harry Potter?! EXCUSE YOU! Like… Didn't know I needed that. Thank you.

Of course they had teenage sex at that school. Yes to a giant snake killing people with its sight and no to some friendly petting? Yeah, sure, JKR! Be for real! Never thought about it like that before. And of course they had parties. And smoked (weed) and did drugs. Like… It's a boarding school for heaven's sake! this is much more realistic. Finally know what smut is and I am here for it.

I want a cigarette SO BAD right now (haven't smoked for YEARS)

googling specifics of gay sex because I never thought about it (and I live in a very conservative country) (and like I had QUESTIONS, excuse you, like can you just do butt stuff without prep?!)

finding 📖 explicit one-shots from ATYD

📖 Reading ATYD sirius's POV:

This is ALSO good. So... fanfics on the internet can just... be amazing, right? How has this existed for years and I did not know about it?? Sirius is obsessed LOL. He fell first and he fell harder, the poor boy.

My husband is SO MUCH like Remus. (personality-wise). Guess I know my type, lol.

These fanfics are written better than majority of books I've read. I'm utterly amazed.

📖 Reading Out of the Blue and Bootleg Tapes:

OK, I needed some healing. Happy for Grant and all. But I need wolfstar more.

📖 We could be heroes (finding out what a "fix-it fic" is)

Yes! Wolfstar endgame! A happy ending! Yes!!

Intrusive thoughts: Is ATYD wolfstar like… toxic?

Are they ever happy?

Don't go there, brain!!

Trying to heal with 📖Manacled, then DMATMOOBIL.

Like Dramione. But wolfstar is far superior.

Also have to note that Draco is amazing in bed.

Not a sentence I've ever thought I utter or think. Ever.

Finding 📖 Cadence Of Part-time Poets

sceptical.

How can muggle AU be good? Don't I like all this because of the magic?

Reading it, re-reading it.

Buying an e-cigarette (cause I have to DEAL ffuck's sake and they smoke in like every second scene and ecigarrete is the least of all evil)

Obsessing.

Cannot get enough.

Best. Thing. Ever. Written.

Somehow more magic than magic U.

DOES REGULUS LIKE JAMES?

Seeing the possibilities of Jegulus (is everyone gay in the end? Excuse me, Am I GAY at this point ?)

THE MUSIC OMG THE MUSIC IS MUSICING!!! I am in love with the music! How are Marauders not a band in cannon?! Like that's obviously what they were always supposed to be! Lottie, Simon, Tonya, Tomny… They ARE cannon for me lol. They were there and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Cannot read more, afraid I will lose this Cadence feeling. Just re-reading the best scenes over and over. Stalking motswolo's tumblr. Consuming all there is about Cadence out there. Trying to talk to people about it but noone reads fanfics here!

Can we like start a gofund me for them to get therapy??? I want to see them diagnosed, aware of their traumas and forever together.

Also, why is Remadora a thing? Thank god it wasn't in Cadence (yet) but sometimes i remember it exists and like… vomit internally. Gosh, I rly hate JKR. She just did it to discourage Wolfstar.

getting to read 📖 Black Mass Over Highway 90:

Very sceptical at first.

It's American… and Marauders are essentially English. Remus somewhere in Texas… of all places? Afraid this won't be my cup of tea... Cowboy Remus?! wtf

OMG.

OMG.

This scene basically porn… right? Why do I LOVE THIS?!

Remus is DADDY! Officer Moons!!! He can get it. Like omg. Cowboy Lupin FTW!!

THIS IS the SMUT, RIGHT?! Like do I even want to watch porn at this point? How am I - a cis female in a hetero relationship of 14 years with 3 kids - finding this SO HOT?!

📖 Reading Blends

Also very sceptical.

But... it's so sweet! Is this fluff? Am I discovering fluffy fics? Now, this is comfort reading! Coffe-shop AU? Like, this is where I want to die, my friends! This is so sweet, so incredibly sweet, and I DO NOT miss Voldy and his stupid war one bit, like to hell with him, he can order an Americano and Remus will decaf him at this point!

I am in LOVE!

📖 Reading Names (Blends sequel) because can you do anything else at this point?

Now this is... a whole other thing. It is fluffy, yes. But it goes deeper. And... wider somehow?

It's the first WIP I give a chance.

Cluster headaches are an AMAZING parallel to lycantrophy.

HOW exactly are people this talented just out there publishing fanfics?!

And this "slice of life" thing IS doing it for me. Like really.

📖 Reading Crimson Rivers

Is there anything else besides angst in this?

Wait, James likes... Regulus?!

discovering Jegulus -

wow. I am utterly amazed... cannot put this down at any point of the day. Reading while breastfeeding, reading all through the night. Reading all through the day. Learning how to read and braid my hair at the same time.

I keep thinking - why DO I love gay man/boys stories? How did it come to this? How is this FREE? How do I GIVE BACK to these AMAZING authors that are just doing incredible things for me? Like this is everything I've ever wanted from a book... and they're not even getting paid for this?!

📖 Reading a bunch of short fics inbetween (honorable mentions: Like Real People Do, That's the Art of Getting by, Led by Light of a Star Sweetly Gleaming, Pages of You - discovering Drarry, thinking Drarry is less angst because there's less homophobia in the 90s,

📖 Reading Only the Brave

OK, it's Jegulus, let's give it a chance...

OMG

OMG

OMG

I feel like ever since getting into this fandom, I'm just falling and falling and falling. Falling... In love.

This is so good, you guys. I love JEGULUS!

But as long as WOLFSTAR are together, I can deal (took them half a fic to get together, so please don't do anything stupid!)

I. CANNOT. STOP. READING. WOLFSTAR.

In every universe.

Wolfstar & fanfic taught me not to have any prejudice. And I also discovered that I was quite prejudiced without being aware of it!

I can read anything with those two... just don't break my heart and just let them be together.

Wolfstar made me read again and actually enjoy it. It's been several thousands of pages in a couple of months and I don't regret the lack of sleep…

They are soulmates. In every universe. I don't know what this fetish is called but I need them to be together, see them together, read them together. Love them both. Just need them to be happy.

I am completely amazed at the sheer power the internet has, that an online community has. This is my new obsession and I am utterly devoted to it. It taught me and gave me SO MUCH. I will forever be learning how to give anything back.

Thank you.

[messingwithmoony]

hey !! was wondering , what are your :

top ten fav marauders era characters , in order

:]

Number 1 being my fav —> 10 least fav

Had to do a lot of thinking on this

1 - Remus

He has to be my favourite because he was my original fav when I first entered the fandom

2 - Regulus

I think thats because I share his "abandoned younger sibling" vibe. I sought out solace when my sister left and discovered Regulus. I'm also a huge pessimist.

3 - Sirius

I love his vibe. His music taste influenced me to become who I am today. I love how headstrong he is too. Also he was my fav growing up, I thought that he and remus were fit 😭😭

4 - James Potter

Ball of sunshine, what can I say? I relate to his need to constantly be of help to others, neglecting my own feelings just so that they have less to deal with

5 - Marlene McKinnon

TCOPTP Marls you will be iconic to me forever. "Will you still call me cherry?" UHM YES? also when they use Cherry Bomb for the intro song. Also she's iconic in Art Heist, Baby! Hot pink guitar? Sign me THE FUCK UP. I was also really sad that her entire family died fr😖😖

6 - Lily Evans

This woman. She is the EMBODIMENT of magic. She is insanely smart, but knows she has to work for it, imo making her smarter than the rest. She is more than just "Harry's mum" and I HATE HATE HATE how most fics give my poor girl Lily such a shallow personality, making her focus solely on academics. Also this girl is so headstrong and I love her so much for rejecting James so much - she knew she didn't want it, so she didn't have it.

7 - Barty Crouch Jr

Im sorry but this man is so bloody cool. Polyjuiced himself to be his bf's killer for an entire year is mad work and I respect the dedication. What a guy fr. Also, the man is insanely smart. All O's in his OWLS? mad work.

8 - Evan Rosier

Crimson Rivers Evan destroyed me. I related to him so much as he didn't have any friends, and neither did I at the time that I started reading Crimson Rivers ( I still havent finished it hahah) and it just broke me fr. Also he's lowk iconic (EYE-Conic? Get it?)

9 - Tonya

Ughh oh my god I love her. Tonya babe come back the kids miss you (me) she deserved so much better than Tomny, she had such a hard upbringing (if it can even be called that) and she was treated badly by Tomny imo.

10 - Grant Chapman

This man made me hurt SOOOO much. He was with Remus for so long, just for Remus to inevitably up and leave when Sirius escapes from Azkaban? I'm ALL FOR WOLFSTAR but this man was with Remus for like TWELVE YEARS whilst Sirius was (wrongfully) imprisoned. He was such a sweetie pie and I love him, he deserved so much better :((

Also when he meets Teddy and instantly knew, that HURT ME - it's been ages since I read it but I'm still bleeding fr

[padfootscoldleathers]

i'll leave (a light on) ch.6

ch.1, ch.2, ch.3, ch.4, ch.5, ch.6

Back at in the hotel Sirius and Mary choose a queen sized bed and pull back the covers.

Peter snuggles into the huge wide layered rocking chair.

"I've seen all the Barbie movies but I don't think any one of those could make me cry as much as Margot Robbie did." He gives a big yawn and smacks his lips together like a baby.

Marlene at the back mutters, "I thought Barbie was supposed to be fun and uplifting. That Zootropolis 'you can be anything' level delusional but still happy." She burrows herself under the covers but leaves her feet hanging out from under the blankets. Sirius drops himself onto the bed next to hers and Mary lowers herself next to Sirius on their bed with her back to the headboard and her long fingernails carding through his hair and scratching his scalp.

Like a notification pinged in his brain Peter crawled out from under his blanket fort and got up to peel her out her prosthesis. Then he massaged muscle relaxant into her stump. Some of which she didn't particularly have sensation in. Just an odd tingling under the numbness where he was prodding at.

"Thank you." He tucks her in like her Dad used to and plants a kiss on her forehead then her hair.

When Peter wakes maybe two hours later in a heat flash its 1 am. He scans the room and Mary's not there so he slips on his fuzzy slippers and wraps a blanket around his shoulders to go look for her. The rooms may be well insulated but the hallways are freezing.

He finds her at the hotel bar chatting with the bartender with an oddly shaped glass bowl of icecream. He plops down next to her looking like a polar bear and the bartender looks at him fondly. "If it ain't lovely seeing you again, Wormy."

The guy's voice is rough and raspy and the nickname is nostalgic which—wait how does some random bartender know me? So when he wills his eyes to fight the bright lights gleaming at him from under the shelves he sees the not stranger with a crooked grin carved into his face. Then he's suddenly hopping off the barstool, his blanket is falling to the sticky floor but Mary catches it. Peter's moving behind the bar where he plants a big fat, though brief, kiss right on the guy's mouth, which is returned.

"What are you doing here? I feel like we haven't seen you in forever!" Peter holds Tomny at the back of his neck and around his waist in a hug, hooking his chin over Tomny's shoulder. Tomny wraps his arms around Peter and rocks him side to side.

"I could ask the same and I did see you last Christmas so it hasn't been that long." Tomny kisses the top of Pete's head twice and lets go to get him a cup of pistachio icecream because maturing and growing up is realising pistachio icecream is superior and Peter's favourite. Something Tomny apparently remembered with how little they see each other but when you know someone as long as they've known each other does it ever really go away? For Tomny remembering the little things about people was as easy as remembering the spelling of his name.

He slides the glass next to Mary's and Peter makes his way back to the barstool again. Tomny plops a tiny spoon like a flag on top the icecream mountain and smiles, eyes twinkling all because of the way Peter's lips drop open in a small smile and he whispers, "I love tiny things."

"Mary was just finishing up telling me about how she can't sleep because she's having nightmares about her ex who doesn't know she's an ex yet. Who, in her nightmares, starts to up-end Mary's entire life right after she plays The Song at the concert tomorrow. I am trying to convince her that she is one, not a bad person for ending it."

Mary rolls her eyes at him. "I didn't say I feel like a bad person for ending it. It's the right thing to do. I know that. I just don't want her to find out from a video on someone's instagram of the show tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay. I stand what I said but it is a fucked up and very public way to find out. But she can't blame the wind for the mess it makes when you open the window. The same way you blame people for hurting you when you gave them enough room to do so. I'm not saying lock yourself away in a vault or be a rock and a river at the same time. I'm definitely not excusing what she did or what you did. For whatever reason you kept giving her knives to throw at you. I know you're trying to prove a point I just can't figure out what."

Tomny pauses to close out a couple's tab before getting nack to them.

"Something I have yet to teach you is that what comes out is what's inside. Sometimes whats inside people is hard to distinguish. So you get hurt, mistreated, abused and other times you get helped, cared for, kindness. It is a consequence of what it is to have people in your life. You're going to get the good with the bad and it takes a level of courage and peace to be as forgiving as you are. But if all you get from her is a pile of bullshit its because that's what's inside. And if you're drained after interacting with her then it's because it was already there."

It's something you can change for yourself but it's not something you can change for others. You tried to tell her but again it's not like she's answered any of your calls since Sirius asked you to perform. Its also a small thing in the face of the emotional trauma she gave you."

"Wait what? You were just waxing words of peace and wisdom and suddenly its 'she deserves it'? Aren't you supposed to be telling me to be patient and considering? That everybody makes mistakes?" Mary slips a spoonful of icecream into her mouth and slams his fist exasperated on the bar.

Tomny lifts an eyebrow at her completely unimpressed and she pouts and shrinks back.

"You are kind, not a saint. You give people second chances yes but there is a difference between patience and wasting your time. I'm supposed to tell you 'when someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them.' You just want me to tell you to forgive her. Where I am now of the opinion that she can eat dirt for however long she ends up living without water."

"Whatever, and I don't have emotional trauma." She mutters mockingly.

"Yes, and I have the brain of a jellyfish."

"When did you become so self-aware?"

"It must be the dilf in me," He mutters under his breath that she barely catches. Peter catches Mary as she almost falls on him and drops her icecream glass. Mary breaks out crying and hauls herself onto counter.

"Uh, uh. None of that, no crying and be careful."

She slides down from the counter top in her pjs even though the 3 of them were starting to draw eyes.

Tomny, the little boy she walked hand in hand with as they took their first steps at daycare. The brother she's had since they were next to each other in the NICU, her bestfriend.

He grunts at the force of her knocking into him. She practically wraps him in her arms and starts whispering so no one hears. "Not a dream anymore, is it?"

Mary can feel Tomny's chest shuddering like he's scared or relieved, probably both. "You are the bravest, most caring and patient person I know and you're going to be an amazing dad." She holds him more gently and sways with him, "I know you already are. You've been mine my whole life."

Peter's still on the bar stool hugging his blanket and watching them confused. "Why're you two crying? I've been here the whole time, what'd I miss?"

Mary swipes tears from under his eyes and Tomny smiles, "I'll tell you tomorrow when Remus is here." Mary and Tomny switch to Dutch.

"Tante Ri klinkt best goed."

"You haven't even met them. One of them can't even say that."

Mary gasps and coos at him. "One of? How old? How many?"

"Eleven and two. Sweet, protective, funny girl and her adorable little brother. I'll ask if they want to go to dinner to meet you guys."

"I can't believe you didn't call me." She slaps him back handed in the stomach and he winces. "Ik kan je helemaal niet tegen."

"Je mag van mij wel zitten, niemand stopt je.

I absolutely can't stand you.

You have my permission to sit down, nobody's stopping you.

Mary half asses a glare at him but he's just grinning back at her. Meanwhile, Peter's still on the bar stool staring deadpan past them trying to break the fourth wall for a confirmation from the audience that this is just disrespectful.

"I know I do it but it's just a different level of disrespect when you guys do it. Like we haven't been family since kindergarten and our families don't get together every holiday and webdidn't grow up together in my house."

"I'm going to leave to pick up Remus in," She checks the pocket watch hanging on her neck. "How's it almost 2:30 already?"

The three of them look around the hotel bar and it's empty apart from the cleaner wiping down tables and last bartender cleaning up behind the bar.

"Okay." She hugs Tomny tight and walks back over to a yawning Peter who finished both his and her iceream while watching them leave him out in their rapid, confusing Dutch. She looks at the bowl then him at several times. He slowly starts to grin and slides off his chair and quickly walks past her to the elevator while she stares after him with her jaw hanging open.

"It's on." she mutters to herself under her breath. Tomny walks up next to her with a new bowl of a half tiramisu, half pistachio and several maraschino cherries on top.

"Spa?"

"It's still open?"

"It's my hotel."

"Okay. Say, do your kids have arts & crafts stuff in the hotel?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I need to make an embarassing airport sign for Remus."

again do tell me if you want me to stop bothering you or if youre new and crazy and do want me to bother you with this fic thats gonna take forever because i am against my will a lover of dialogue oh also sorry i didnt update for three weeks i know no semblance of the passing of time also i was having an impending breakdown for two of those weeks that was sitting at the back of my mind waiting for it to be over WHICH IT IS but also isnt i get my grades back this wednesday pray for me oh and i hope you enjoy 500 words of me giving you advice i will ALSO be taking suggestions for uhh the sign mary's taking to the airport when she picks up remus AND reg because moonwater are besties

hiya

The Cadence Of Part Time Poets podfic is back :)

i’m so excited, i missed it so much.

i’m also sorry about how much you’ll hear me grinning and giggling, but what can i say, i love tonya and tomny so much in this chapter 😭

anyway, here’s the link:

currently listening to the podfic of tcoptp (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2SnPT7OGWopLSnXFBO1X9N), and holy shit i’m obsessed with this fic.

like i want to dissect it and find the meaning of every single part,i want to consume it, and i want to look for all the symbolism and highlight every step towards the slow burn

and the OCs i mean i love them so much, I mean Tomny and Tonya have my heart and like i’m genuinely obsessed with her, but also Simeon, just aaaaaaaaa

i want to print it out and mark every time one of them is mentioned, and also put every scene where you can see Remus and Sirius's feelings for each other and put them in a doc together and write an essay on it

it’s late, and i want to write a more coherent love letter to this fic one day, but this is what you get rn

(ps i need someone to draw the scene of remus sitting between Tonya and Tomny getting his hair cut and getting shaved chapter 45)

Hi! So I’ve been really wanting to read the cadence of part time poets because I’m not Patrick star and I don’t live under a rock SO IVE HEARD THINGS. Anyways i just need reassurance because I know there’s like an OC that Remus may or may not have a thing with, but I don’t like reading fics where wolfstar isn’t like “you’re my number one” if that makes sense? It just makes me sad, especially if one of them just clearly cares more than the other? So if you’ve read tcoptp can somebody please just warn me if they aren’t soulmates or whatever? Like if remus will never love sirius as much as this Tomny person I need that as a trigger warning. Ok this is fucking up the aesthetic of my dash so I’ll delete soon. Side note I Really really mean ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE, and when I say this is something I don’t like to read in fics it’s because of my personal lived experience and inferiority complex please don’t take this as hate on the fic because I’m certain it is beautifully written and would change my life etc but mentally I’m just too fragile.

I finished atyd a while ago and I am very slowly making my way through tcoptp and god I’m on chapter 28 and I already miss atyd’s Remus. He had dyslexia like me and I love the way they handled that and also the magic, I miss magic so much while reading tcoptp. I understand that I’m hardly anywhere in the story right now and that I just need to keep reading but like I miss dyslexic wizard Remus all the time.

Also I miss Grant. I love Grant so much more than Tomny I’m sorry 😔

noo i just finished cadence of part time poets and like i am not ready to let go of those characters, each person has a different interpretation of the canon characters and i love the way mot wrote them but also the oc’s!!! i’m gonna miss lottie, tomny, and tonya so much ☹️☹️

[most-tragic-character-tournament]

Ok cTubbo's still losing it's time for me to whip out the propaganda

I've been mentally ill over this cube man for a year I'm not letting him lose without a fight

So in this I'm going to list all the tragic events in his life in order (although DISCLAIMER I might forget some stuff or get stuff wrong fellow dsmp fans please don't @ me)

He was a child soldier. Canon ages of basically all the characters are dubious at best, but if we go by cc!Tubbo's age he was only 16 at the time of the L'manburg Revolution. That's only one of the THREE wars he fought in but we're going in order and more shit happened in between the L'manburg revolution and the next war he fought in (Manberg v Pogtopia) so PUT A PIN IN THIS

He DIED in the aforementioned L'manburg Revolution. For the unacquainted, characters in the DSMP get 3 "canon" deaths, so you get to die canonically 3 times before dying For Real, so he came back after, but he still DIED, which hurts!

He had to watch his best friend (cTommy) and basically big brother figure (cWilbur) get exiled from the nation THEY HELPED BUILD.

He was forced to be a spy

The aforementioned being a spy...ness lead to him getting EXECUTED. Mind you going by cc!Tubbo's age he STILL was only 16 or 17!

Did I mention the fireworks and the box?!? Ohhh boy. The fireworks and the box. This was his canon event. You know when people say "x never truly left y"? CTubbo never truly left The Box. This is the ROOT of soooo much trauma. He was trapped in a tkiny box and shot to death. First off, he was SHOT TO DEATH WITH FIREWORKS. That is one of the most painful ways to go. You're getting shot to death AND burned to death at the same time. This left him with permanent scarring. Second, he was killed at a festival that HE DECORATED HIMSELF. I could go on and on about why the red festival and Tubbo's execution are tragic as hell but I'll stop here cus I have more shit to cover.

*takes pin out of thd first point* He fought in a war AGAIN

He was appointed president of a country at 17 (again, going by cc!Tubbo's age, also don't quote me on that number he might've still been 16, I don't remember. The point is he was YOUNG. Like, that's a high schooler!(in the US anyway))

His basically older brother figure killed himself immediately after he got appointed president

He was manipulated into exiling his best friend not long after becoming president

He was led to believe said best friend committed SUICIDE while he was in exile (cTommy was alive, but cTubbo thought he was dead for a pretty long while)

Doomsday. Just. All of Doomsday. Finally giving up on L'manburg, the country he'd loved and fought tooth and nail for, and still they lost. He lost. Reconciling with Tomny, his best friend, only not really, because their friendship has been so damaged. Just- EVERYTHING.

Also Doomsday was technically a war so that's the 3rd war he fought in

He tried to sacrifice himself for his best friend.

He INVENTED NUKES. He's literally DSMP Oppenheimer to an extent. He invented nukes because he's had to fight so hard to keep the people and things he loves safe that he went all the way to the extreme of INVENTING NUKES to keep his family safe.

SAID NUKES ENDED UP KILLING HIM

He lost his husband! C!Ranboo fucking died!

He lost his son! Michael was kidnapped MULTIPLE TIMES (at least TWICE) And then thanks to the shitty ass finale making him LOSE HIS FUCKING MEMORY, HE DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER!!!

He lost his best friend MULTIPLE TIMES (he lost metaphorically Tommy because of exile and how their relationship was damaged, then he thought he'd lost Tommy LITERALLY because he thought Tommy committed suicide in Exile, AND THEN, not long after Tommy got out of Exile, before they could repair their relationship, Tommy DIED. FOR REAL THIS TIME.)

And finally, his story ended not with him getting a chance to heal, but with him dying to his own nuke and then getting memory loss. And him getting memory loss is ALSO tragic in its own way but I won't go into that cus this is getting long.

So yeah here's my propaganda. /rp for all of this. I know I already put c__ in front of most of the names but just in case. I don't want anyone to get confused and think I'm talking about Actual Real Life 19-year-old YouTuber Tubbo.

I'm gonna end this out with this:

I don't know SHIT about Madoka Magica. I've not seen it yet. But I bet Sayaka Miki didn't die THREE times.

Welp sorry i was basically dead these past few days, had my bio exam today i was a little stressed (i probably sent the pepe sticking a fork in an electric outlet sticker to my friends like 50 times)

How was your chem test?

I'm about 600 pages into tcoptp now its consuming me but i quite like it so far, i love tomny and tonya.

Pretty much same for me with the presents thing. I'm not very creative, and for recieving it just depends on what i guess.

How was your day?

Good luck on latin tmrw too!!

-Luan

It's okayyy, I'm pretty dead too xd, I really hope your exam went well!

My chem exam went well actually, I got a 1, it really surprised me lol

Tomny and Tonya 🔛🔝 !!!

My day was fine, but pretty hectic if I'm being honest, I had therapy today, so that was fine

Thank you!

What about you, anything interesting going on except for exams?
