my favorite thing about remus lupin is how unreliable of a narrator he is in almost every single long fic he has ever narrated

Quick note on Charles's speech for fic writers or anyone interested, really.

Charles uses tag questions, where he ends a sentence with a question, doesn't he? I see a lot of "innit" thrown at the end of sentences, which is right, sometimes.

There is unfortunately grammar. First off, if the main verb is negative, the tag will be positive, and vice versa.

When the main verbs in the sentence is a form of "be" or a modal verb (must, could, would, have, will, can, do etc), he's going to repeat that same form at the end of the sentence. An exception to this is a positive main verb of "I am" in which case the tag will be "aren't I?"

"[You're] Not going back to hell, are you?"

"I wouldn't wanna be dead with anyone else, would I?"

"No, we're not going anywhere, are we?"

"Well, I can't see where you're pointing to, can I?"

"We don't want a repeat of the infamous puppy debacle of '94, do we?"

He uses "innit" a lot less than people think, I think. It took me a while to find examples of him saying this, I ended up having to search a transcript. It follows the same rules as above, except the subject is always a thing, or the pronoun "it," and the main sentence is positive, so that the tag can be the negative "innit" (isn't it). *Edit* "innit" is not used as a question! It's mainly used to reinforce a talking point! (Thank you @elizabear). While the other tags are like rhetorical questions, this one is flat tonally and can end with a period, too.

"Boxing's a gentleman's sport, innit?"

"Magical void, innit?"

"That's the injustice we fight, innit?"

When the verb is not one of those above" he uses a form of "do."

"Well, that sounds a lot like you, doesn't it?"

"Wanna keep things professional, don't I?"

Charles also ends a lot of sentences with just the word "yeah."

"Psychic thing makes case work go a lot faster, yeah?"

I am usamerican, but I have a masters in Linguistics. People who actually use tag questions, though, please add on or correct me!

The "Sansa reminds Sandor of his sister" motive that some people try to hitch to his character really just flies in the face of his actual attachments to her, doesn't it? Sansa reminds Sandor of himself. He sees the little boy who used to love knights in this girl who's been swept up by the same romanticism. He sees his abuser in her abusers, the much larger knight(s) beating on the helpless child. He sees how she is betrayed by every level of authority that should have saved her and remembers his father's neglect and Tywin and Robert's apathy for Gregor's crimes. He's protective of Sansa because he was Sansa.

And GRRM's design, that one of the strongest warriors in the series, a fearsome and cynical 6'8" guy who's "muscled like a bull" and has the face of death itself, sees himself in this soft and effeminate teen girl, and empathizes with her because he was an abuse victim too, is INFINITELY more compelling than "Oh yeah I bet she just reminds him of his sister," who he's never mentioned and who we know literally nothing about. Way to unnecessarily water down a character, you couldn't have ignored the black and white text more efficiently if you tried.

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

Seeing them in RS reminded me how good their dynamic is. I will not stand for Zofia erasure. Zofia is the one who has mentored and supported Maria all this time. Zofia openly shows her care and concern and was willing to die with Maria just so she wouldn't be alone.

Billy Batson is SO aroace coded for me and it's fun how I missed it for so long

Billy's stories is always about his family and his powers, in differents universes and everything. That's sweet and really cool, probably one of the reasons I like him so much, but I realised that my real thing with Billy is the fact he don't have romantic partners.

I mean yeah, you can mention Courtney or Cissie if you want, but I can't see Billy really in love with them ir dating anyone. It's not a ship war thing, it's a aro thing who actually fits with him so much. I can't see him dating, in any age, and that's make me so comfortable

And it's fun If you imagine someone in the league wanting a romantic advice from Capitan, since he's a "adult man" who lived so much, and Billy is just in panic bc he don't understand nothing about it and run away. I really like to see him as a Damian's friend, so imagine him seeing all of his friends having dates and be like "that's gross" but happy for them all the same time, and never thinking about himself having it bc it's so weird

people asking him about any girlfriend and Billy say "and why would I want that?" like at 17 years old

I love you aroace Billy im sorry I lost you for so long

This is a massive rare pair to the point I named it but could I please request the cesium ship? (ms pauling/pyro :)) I personally think they both have massive amounts of nb lesbian swag but if you dont want to dw :) it's a little rare pair I'm way to obsessed with dhbdbssbdnsjs

this request put me through the quickest pipeline of “I’m neutral about this ship” to “oh my god. They’re in love” possible. I think it gave me whiplash. Get you a strange offputting butch who will hack up corpses and get matching hatchets with you.
