persuade me into liking moonwater go

BET

so i feel like the biggest barrier people have to shipping moonwater is the fact that they don't see the chemistry. we're very used to the opposites attract dynamic in marauders, like jegulus & wolfstar. which i love. i love opposites attract, but moonwater offers something different (not lesser or greater!!) for us to enjoy.

i bring you... the catharsis of someone who deeply sees & understands all the messiest parts of you, & is okay with them. remus & regulus don't fight to fix each other, or to change circumstances that can't possibly be changed -- they embrace the misery & find love anyway. bad things are there to stay, but love can exist alongside that. THAT is why i love moonwater.

i've posted a little manifesto before on why i like moonwater as much as i do, as well as my thoughts on the ship name. you can read that here!

elaborating on the earlier part of them just really getting each other, i'm thinking of this post i've read like a thousand times. i really just love the idea of them reading each other's minds, knowing things instinctively just because... "duh." they have so much in common, even though you wouldn't think so at first glance -- a marauder & sirius black's little brother. but the way they respond to the world around them is so similar, & given how the two of them are both so prone to isolation & loneliness, that's such a crucial thing.

literally, the two of them is like "how'd you know i needed that?" "??? well duh, who wouldn't need that?" & i think there's something so beautiful about that intrinsic sort of understanding... ahhhhHHH <3

i love their pessimism. like c'mon look at this & tell me these two aren't SOULMATES

i think they'd both have a fucking blast together, being the snarky & judgemental pricks they are. i saw a screenshot on tumblr of a tweet someone made about their opposite (& kinda complementary) styles of humor:

one criticism i've seen a lot is like, "why can't they just be friends?" which is super understandable. platonic moonwater is great! but like, that's the fun thing about multishipping to me... why do they have to just be friends? it's fandom; we can have it all!

leaving you with a couple other moonwater posts for your perusal:

this one

(i think about them all daily)

...and i do have a moonwater tag on my blog xx

“Your brother,” Remus winced at the pure bluntness of his tone.

“I- ” Regulus paused; he tried to remain emotionless, he really did, but the overwhelming pain just took a hold of him.

“Regulus,” the Gryffindor’s voice cracked a little.

“I- thought we- had- something…”

“We do! Honest!” Remus tried to put a hand over Regulus’ face, wiping a stray tear on his cheek.

The other boy shoved it away sharpish, “No,” he sneered, “You have it, with Sirius.”

“Reg- ”

“Don’t bother apologising,” Regulus choked out.

“I,” Remus stopped, “I’m not.”

Well that was a surprise.

“Why not!?”

“I’m not sorry that I love Sirius.”

“Love? Really?” Regulus’ mouth conformed into a smirk, “He’s betrayed you once, who’s to say he’s not going to again?”

Remus faltered; that caught him off-guard,

“He’s not going to,” he mumbled.

Regulus stared at him for a moment, then placed a hand on either side of his cheeks.

“Re- ”

“Reg…”

The Slytherin took the opportunity and placed his lips onto the other’s.

And then they parted.

The taller boy had an expression of pure horror on his face and was stumbling away.

Regulus closed his eyes but couldn’t stop the tears falling out of them.

When he opened them again, Remus was gone.

Summary of The Cat of The Year poll atrocities of 2023/2024

I'm sure that most people on this side of tumblr have seen the Jellie vs. Nefarious Anglerfish poll going around with like 60k votes at this point, and I'd really like clear up some of what happened since I was around for the whole thing.

Url blocked out for op's privacy. They have already left but don't look for it if you haven't seen it/don't harrass them if you already have.

1. The previous round (preparation)

I discovered the poll in its previous round, needless to say she beat Jort's ass severely. This was around the 3rd of january, meaning that this round finished before jellie's passing with only about 7k votes. Op did add their own piece of propaganda from their main:

...which was FINE. (except for stuff we'll see later) Of course running a poll while biased isn't ideal but I for one didn't even know they were the op until much later. I also added my own piece in a separate thread, and they didn't interact with it at all. There was no drama.

2. The Finale

Jellie unfortunately passed away right before the starting of this poll, which was the catalyst for what happened next. Op did exactly as last time and added a slightly more mean spirited encouragement to vote for the other contestant. This is the point where I believe that i fucked up personally.

I added this thinkpiece accusing op of associating all mcyters with Dream (who we all hate for the record) despite them not alluding to him at all. This is because tumblr has a history of disimissing all mcyters as... everything that dream was been accused of. Op did allude to not caring for mcyt. but they didn't say what i accused them of. This is important to point out because this reblog of mine is still being spread. Jellie was in the lead at the time, but not by the time i woke up next morning.

I won't be including anyone else's additions because I don't want to put blame on any specific person. Just felt like clearing up mine.

3. The Fuckening

Some time later op made this post to their personal blog:

which is insanely shitty because, as other people have pointed out, the "lame ass youtube cat" didn't die to inconvinience op or ruin their fun, and people would have probably voted for her anyway because jelly is universally beloved in the mcyt community. This isn't anti democratic. This post was added to the poll with a caption saying op should not be running this poll, and it took off. Op later went on to say that this was a joke:

This apology was not taken well by people, (including me) because "you were not meant to see it" isn't an apology and they still very much made fun of someone's pet dying. Safe to say this did not make the drama stop and only added fuel to the flame. I believe this was the point where the conversation of mcyt fans being unjustly sent hate to was reignited.

We should discuss that! it's a real thing that happens often and is equal to childish bullying. However, in this case, OP was the only one getting sent hate to my knowledge. The notes were mostly saturated by mcyt fans, and even now i can only find one or two hateful stance towards us under the whole 20k notes post.

4. Conclusions

Op posted a second apology to the catoftheyear blog to try and calm people down (i believe this is comprehensive and a lot better than the previous one) The blog was deactivated shortly after, so i only have my phone screenshots of it that i also added to the poll itself at some point:

(Edit) Here's proof that op did not write the justification they got criticised for, from the notes of the original poll:

This apology didn't get seen, or get accepted by enough people, so op made this statement on their personal:

Needless to say I am deeply dissapointed (and guilty) that it's come to this. Yes, op said tasteless things that made us all angry, but telling a human being to commit suicide is worse than being insensitive about a stranger's pet dying. Even after I posted about the blog being decatived i had someone come into my notes to wish that "they never find happiness" i mean wtf. This isn't like shipping where we can do whatever without the content creator's input. this is fucking harrowing and i can't imagine how i'd feel if this was done in my/my pet's name especially after losing them as recently as a week ago.

I hope no one from hermitcraft who is on here (let alone scar holy shit) learns about this like they did with previous lighthearted tournaments. If you truly respect the creators you claim to be a fan of as people, you do not tell people to kill themselves over them. And finally, let Jellie fucking rest, guys. she had a long, good life. I hope op can come back and also avoids behaving like this if they ever wish to do so. I'm angrier at mcytblr, though.

Redid a doodle after i watched season 6

I think everyone would have some words with Soren if they found out the stunt he pulled

If we’re talking about underrated Sorvus moments I gotta nominate the time Soren dragged Corvus down with him in his lie to the Crowned Prince
