"Not every ship has to be gay!"

Girl you're using TUMBLR. THE gayland. What did you expect?

[pleadingmantis]

my ships may not be real but the joy I get from them is

[artachokie]

remus lupin is the type of teacher to say "i'll wait." and then just stare at the class till everyone shuts up.

[logolepsy-babble]

Lily: I want to confess something.

James: Go ahead!

Lily: I fancy girls.

Peter: Me too!

Lily: And… I fancy Mary…

Remus: I’m happy for you. I want you to know you are accepted. I like men.

Sirius: Wait what?

James: Are we all coming out? I’m bi, I fancy Regulus.

Sirius: Ex-fucking-scuse me?

[beli-eve-ing]

sirius 🤝 mary (using each other to try and convince themselves they’re straight)

[whydousernamesevenexist]

Lily: Mary, what happened, why are your fingers covered in bandages?

Mary: you know those chefs that can chop things super fast?

Lily: …yes?

Mary: well, turns out I can't do that.

I don't think we have enough Mary & Remus tbh

Like particularly after Lily and James die, and Sirius goes to Azkaban, and Peter is pronounced dead. Marlene and Dorcas dead in the same year as James & Lily

Like I've seen "Mary and Remus end up kidnapping Harry from the Dursleys" once

But like. Just think of a couple months previous Mary obliviating herself where it's just them getting drunk on Remus' flat. They're sad, they're alone, they're together. They lost the people they love, they lost their friends (you can even add Complicated Feelings™ with wolfstar and marylily)

Think of it being depressed together. Rotting in bed together for days at a time without doing anything but getting black-out drunk. Think of them sharing a mattress on the floor without either of them having showered in days. They both smell like alcohol and like fucking moss because Remus' flat sucks and they haven't gotten up to even open the windows.

I honestly think of it pretty platonically but like. They also kinda have sex sometimes, maybe. When one of them finally decides to get up, they may shower together. Mary doesn't have the energy to do her hair, so Remus does. Sirius or James aren't here, so Mary applies ointment on Remus' pained back.

They're just depressed together & taking care of each other as much as they can. But also dragging each other down. ("Are you getting up?" "I don't think I can" "Ok we can stay in bed" and end up staying in bed for three days straight)

Then Remus goes on a mission on the full moon and Mary obliviates herself. Remus can't.

& then he's alone

im literally so scared for ao3 shutting down tomorrow this must be how addicts feel before rehab

[rudamaruda520]

cause it's a neeeeeed

It gets really hard to be in this fandom sometimes. a lot of y'all are misogynistic, and I understand that's often not a conscious decision, but rather a result of social conditioning, and I understand that you can have your "preferences" or would rather seek out fics that you can relate to more, but god, it's so draining to be in such a male-focused fandom.

I do try my best to bring more attention to the girls, I reblog a lot of sapphic content, I read almost exclusively about wlw pairings, I kudos and comment, the fics I recommend to people are all focused on women. Basically, I show my support to creators of women-focused content, because it encourages them to continue creating such content.

I myself am a queer Indigenous girl, and, to put it bluntly, I'm sick of the lack of representation in a space that is supposed to be inclusive. Of course queer men should be represented, but when you prioritise representing them over queer women (especially including queer women of colour), you really should take a step back and look at what kind of message that sends.

Now, I would like to make it clear that I am not forcing anyone to write about content purely for the sake of representation. Fanfic writers write for free, and I am grateful for all the work they contribute to this fandom. If you do not think you can put in the enthusiasm needed to write a fanfiction about a certain pairing, then don't write one. A fic written not for your own joy will inevitably just read as forced representation.

That being said, however, I do think people should look deeper into why they don't want to read/write content about women. Unpacking internalised misogyny can be difficult, I get it. It's hard to admit you might have biases against a minority, especially when you think of yourself as a progressive person. I've been there, I had a bunch of ideas about how I should look, dress, act, etc. that were all really just ideas that were socially conditioned into me by a patriarchal society.

I doubt the people who this is targeted to will ever actually read this, let alone take what I've said to heart. Most people who will read this are probably the ones who do value the girls in the fandom (and not just say they do). But, regardless, I needed to get it off my chest.

I'm just gonna log off anywhere where I see fandom content for the next week, so if you want to talk to me I won't see your messages till then. I try to keep my surroundings positive, and when I feel such negativity I know it's time to take a break and focus on things that are good for my mental health.

[star-and-moon-shipper]

silver lining by laufey but it’s remus to sirius, james to regulus, mary to lily, marlene to dorcas, peter to xeno, and evan to barty

[your-neighbourhood-antisocial]

Being a multishipper is crazyy.

Like people out there be fighting over ships and I'm here sipping hot chocolate with wolfstar, prongsfoot, bitchkiller and everyone else.
