Worth ........

| For every universe I slap Loyboo into, his lore is different every single time. A self insert that I want to truly fit in

Loyboo is either a Direct Self insert..... Or.... I treat him like an OC that happens to inherite a bunch of my qualities directly bc no matter what at the end of the day. Character or Full on self insert

He's still me

Now saying that- sometimes Loyboo gets to go through my worst fears in the form of his lore for different universes and Today. I got a hard hittin one for ya

So brace your Tissues.... Bc this Loyboo Lore is specifically for 4thwallbreakerdraws2 RTV AU

Yup

Right before they are all going to purgatory, that's when i drop my lore. Teehee |

Oh and @rtv-puzzlevision-studios bc this will doubly work as my reaction to this mess

The day Puzzlevision took the world by an iron fist was a spectacle for all who witnessed it.... Be it they were lulled into a mindless trance of loving the celebrity television or they managed to pull away from his influence and hide away plotting to take him down... The world.... Was never going to be the same.....

Out in the wilderness far F A R away from civilization was a quiet little mansion filled with Boos who followed the lead of their King, and naturally one of these little creatures was none other than Loyboo.

Named for his undying loyalty.... King Boo and the family always supported each other no matter what they sought to chase, even if it meant leaving the house to follow someone else you were always a Boo and always welcomed back home.

Loyboo had gone out to hunt just like any other normal day, except today wasn't normal in the slightest and no other day would ever be from that day onward as his eyes locked on a Television.... And he was genuinely inspired while avoiding Hypnosis as he was resistant

See ..... The boo was an artist.... Loved to draw and did it in his pass time a whole lot- he wanted more than anything to sell his art to people and be noticed for it however.... No one seemed to want to..... It didn't matter how much attention he brought to himself, nobody would pay for his art work.... Was he just not popular enough to trust? Did someone want to buy his art but couldnt afford it right now? He was doing everything right ...

Reaching out on multiple sources to share his artwork, gaining a following, passing around his commission page and continuing to drop artwork

It didn't matter. He got praise and attention.... But nothing to push him towards a carrier he would love. Fighting tooth and nail to be noticed

But this universe ran off memes, and Loyboo didnt draw them often nor show off that work... So when he came across Puzzlevision....

It didn't matter that the population was brainwashed NOW, in order to get that type of power his works must have really pushed to gain the attention they deserved. Because the creature genuinely loved the shows aired, catching up on every single one that dropped while avoiding hypnosis. How did he do it.... Put so much love into his work yet grab the attention of the masses to support his shows in order to go global.....

Loyboo really felt like- he could learn something from this Mr.Puzzles. and followed him as an idol

Meanwhile back at home, the boo had no idea what was happening.... Boos are chaotic... Dangerous in numbers.... RTV has seen media of what King Boo is possible of doing, even in a meme universe where he likely wouldn't do that stuff it wasn't worth the risk.

Loyboo's entire family was put into containment and he had no clue- until he went home to show off some art work and catch up on everything... Everyone was gone.... The mansion was picked clean, no ghouls in sight and only cameras left behind to monitor the place.... While the Boo was devastated, he expected something like this- Mr.Puzzles was a villain. That was obvious and 1 of the many reasons the creature followed him.

Loyboo loved villainy

Now- ofc the little guy wanted to ask for his family to be set free.... But saw no reality where that would ever happen. He wasn't worth anything to dare ask such a popular figure to let people that he went out of his way to capture- Go. Just like that

Loyboo only had friends that continued to support his efforts, and in the end the creature thought maybe someday.... He could be working in Puzzlevision studio and then maybe.... Maybe ask Mr.Puzzles to give her family grace.... But honestly..... She still didnt see that happening

While she chased the dream of becoming an employee, chased the life she wanted to be in where she could sell her arts and thrive more off that.

It didn't look good. Deep down he felt like he was only worth the happiness that he brought to his friends, now that they were the only ones left.... Yet he selfishly left to go on this tour

Hoping.... Praying......

He did what he could, but it wasn't enough. He tried but didn't push in a way it mattered. Watching his idol throw things, and then turn to the crowd in order to let them all know what hell they were going to endure

" That's not fair.... I didn't do anything "

He wanted to flee but.... It wasn't going to work, he knew it wouldn't. He was a Boo, alone and amongst people who had power greater than his.

Looking around as the hypnotised people blindly followed orders, maybe some tried to flee... Loyboo stood there petrified....

Perhaps this is why they say , you never want to meet your idols.....

He knew Puzzles was a villain, but to take that out on his own fans? This was all so confusing and rather terrifying.... Watching the line of "zombies" go one by one as others got dragged in forcefully.

" What does it matter "

Loyboo approached his idol, tearing out a piece of paper out of his sketchbook and dropping it on the floor, the creature bowed at a perfect 90° angle

" I'm worth nothing "

Before straightening himself and following the crowd to join in on being whisked away to the television pocket dimension..... Upon being there in the crowd waiting for further instruction or what would happen.... The creatures arms wrapped around himself as tears began to creep down his cheek

Why wasn't anything good enough, why did pushing lead to nowhere.... Was he really going to vanish from this universe and...... Mean nothing?

...........................................

But he did

............................................

He did mean something

He was reminded that every day by his friends, found family.... So his pushing wasn't enough in one area that doesn't mean he should accept the end......

He really felt like nothing.......

But

He still wanted to be something, he didn't want to lie down and vanish if that's what Puzzle decided to do... He will likely perish in the end

However ..... He tried ..... And that

That is worth something

[ambitions-of-an-eccedentesiast]

REMEMBER WHEN I MENTIONED DOODLES! yeah its time for those now

put bubble transcriptions in alt if its too blurry

some lore may have been changed and they do vary in quality due to a lot of the art being o l d

Authors note: the art is old and makes me wanna die but I wanna talk about lanyon and jekyll's relationship more considering I lover their arc and I never got to it. Lanyon and Jekyll were friends through college and this friendship eventually developed into something more. however when things got more sensual- lanyons internalized homophobia kicked in h a r d. so he told Jekyll that this cant continue anymore but they can still be friends...however the tension of that night layed heavy between the two and so they never really talked and quite frankly avoided each other. that is until grabriel. who befriended them both. was like "hey...these two have mutual interests. I'm sure they'd love to know each other" anddddddddddd hense the trio is born. Gabriel is the glue that holds it together we love him <3 to talk more on Hyde and lanyon: Hyde loves to tease and toy around with him leaving lanyon baffled at how he knows so much despite them being absolute strangers- and also confused because a lot of what Hyde says is told through metephors here and there because this bitch just lovesssss being all sneaky and mysterious and shit. eventually though he gets to the point where teasing isn't enough- he and Jekyll get into an argument about Jekyll and lanyons past relationship and so Hyde begins to be passive aggressive with lanyon until it breaks into a fight. Hyde taking lanyons blind eye why the blind eye when...not counting the hole- wouldn't really affect him too much? because Jekyll doesn't want to hurt him.and Hyde doesn't want to horribly scar him. they still love him it's just complicated. during the fight though is when Jekyll tries to take back control- leaving Hyde to begin to partially transform before he gets away lettinglanyon. accidently see bits and pieces of Jekyll in him. the eyes. a bit of hair color coming through- teehee. after that whole ordeal Hyde and lanyon talk it out. lanyon explains that he knows and Hyde explains what's going on.. and Hyde apologies for the outburst and lanyon promises to be better. and then the two while not perfect and certainly not off to a good start- begin to slowly get better together and it begins to reflect on lanyon and jekyll again as well..its sweet I love em guyssssssssssssssss if you have any questions about the lore or story feel free to drop them in the box considering its a wrap folks! but there's still a lore more I love and would love to yap about.

[hashtagloveloses]

is nobody else uncomfortable from the barbenheimer jokes? regardless of the actual content or quality of the oppenheimer movie itself, the constant jokes being like "teehee haha silly barbie movie vs explosions bomb movie" seem insane to me - at least jokes coming from americans. our country dropped NUKES on people TWICE, and we may not have been alive when it happened, but it's not funny to joke about.

1) this is not the first or last time a fun pop culture movie has come out the same weekend as a serious historical biopic, so the jokes aren’t even original. but on top of that, they were DEFINITELY either boosted or planted by mattel's INSANELY well managed and extensive marketing campaign. this happens all the time, i know, i work in the industry.

2) the jokes got old in the first 2 weeks and especially when they hit mainstream news headlines.

3) it feels insensitive and offensive reducing the subject of the literal a-bomb to "it’s the dark explosions movie" and “movie for men when barbie for girls” and “barbie with mushroom cloud fanart”, when it's about literal fucking war crimes that not only harmed those the US bombed, but US citizens whose families are still affected by the radiation TO THIS DAY.

i know im gonna be called some sort of wokescold or whatever posting this and you're not a bad person for making jokes but i've felt uncomfortable with it the ENTIRE time and i just needed to voice it.

it’s also made enjoying barbie far less comfortable for me in general. i’m just trying to have a normal fun time talking about the well made existential girlhood film for adult women and instead i’m witnessing Jefferson Miku Binder 2.0 on the DAILY. learn some tact, guys.

[6okuto-moved]

NIA OMFG SO ABT THE DATING APP POST U MADE (replies could not handle the novel I am about to impose on you)

the way I am so in love with iwa but he’s the epitome of not my irl type 😭 gym bros and their bland responses to hinge prompts scare me and I feel that he would have the exact profile you were talking abt. his redeeming quality would be like. a dog.

SAME WITH ATSUMU AND IT PAINS ME. PHYSICALLY PAINS ME BC THAT IS MY HUSBAND.

Bokuto would be the exception to the gym bro thing bc he is also a himbo and it shows (in the best way possible) and no one can resist that.

half of hq would not be my type irl and the other half that would be?? I’d be too scared to try to match cause they’re. gorgeous??????? Hello???

HOWEVER Akashi’s profile would totally be like cafe date vibes, libraries and very just. CALMING AND NICE AND I’D DO THE SAME AS YOU. The only thing is I think his prompt responses (I’m on hinge so this is the only dating app format ik) wouldn’t really give you tooooo much to work with but it’s ok no one can be perfect.

I think kuroo’s would be like super bf material tho. Like the kind of profile that you’re certain gets a lot of interaction and makes you wonder if he’s even active on the app anymore LOL. also gives good responses, he’s just slightly dorky but it’s so endearing and it adds to the appeal of his profile.

I think suna’s would be super chill with like humorous undertones and I’d probably end up trying to match with him bc of that. he gives gooddddd responses that are genuinely fun and non repetitive. he’s also not dry if you end up matching.

yk what no I’m giving atsumu a chance here. his prompt responses are. interesting to say the least. dry. he comes across a bit cocky. but his pictures don’t if that makes sense??? like he comes off as a genuinely sweet guy in his photos and videos. maybe I’m just too soft for him and I’m projecting, this is embarrassing.

I wanna add something abt oikawa but I genuinely cannot think of anything other than his photos would be insanely aesthetic and pretty. responses need a bit of work and his opening lines come off a bit strong but. it’s okay. he’s perfect and can do no wrong imo 🤷🏻‍♀️

ANYWAY SORRY I JUST GOT EXCITED AND WANTED TO SHARE. YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO THE SMAU, I WOULD EAT THAT UP!!!!!

HAIII REV!! EXACTLY. exactly. i'm sorry but not even a dog is enough for me i'm like Omg little dog and then don't match I'm sorry hajime.. Bokuto... my cutie pie naoooo 😭😭 i'd like to hope he'd answer the prompts cutely/in a funny way but i still wouldn't think we'd match well and skip him... BUT!!!! I think if they replied to one of my prompts i'd reply...?! < girl who Never Ever matches first Ever. like there's a photo where their smile looks very cutesie and i'm like Why not!

Akaashi. 🙂teehee. my favoritism i'm sorry everybody. he doesn't really have photos of himself so he has to ask friends for some and there's like one photo that's dimly lit where he's smiling with fluffy hair that would make my jaw drop and tears form in my eyes i'd want him so bad. one of his prompt answers would be like. a joke about how tired he is with all the work he has. something kind of basic But i love him so it's ok. for me specifically i mention my dislike for HTTYD 3 and i think he'd reply and be like wait you're so right can u explain more or something like that and I would Start Crying tears Of Joy PLEAASELEAASE PLEAPSAPPSLEPLEPA

omg kuroo. i understand. i actually first had the idea he looks kind of dorky (/affectionate) but he has a couple good photos and a meme and it's like Oh he's so real for that. also he's totaallyyy somebody who does an audio prompt 😭 it's something fawking stupid /Affectionate and i'd show my irls and we'd be like wait he's kinda cute while we laugh BJSHFBJSD there's also a group photo somewhere on there ! and maybe a video where you can hear him cackling! silly guy...

suna would have a stupid ass block text meme somewhere on his profile LOLLL there's a photo where he's in his room in the dark but i can also imagine he has one with good lighting outside that's one of the few he has... he Would be funny! he's all lowercase until u say something that gets him to laugh and he goes LMFAOOOOO WAIT and it's like Yes I got a good grade in Hinge. BFJSHBJSB

ATSUMU! totally has a pic where he's showing off his muscles or spiking But also wait he looks kind of cute and dorky in this other photo and also his prompt responses are funny this is crazy? I UNDERSTAND!!! maybe it could be like... he's not someone you'd swipe on initially but he sees Your profile and tries to switch it up to cater to you before replying to one of your prompts LOL. and maybe there's a pic of him helping samu make onigiri or just... something kind of domestic that makes u go oh alright he's nice?!

HMM OIKAWA.... also a volleyball pic somewhere. maybe with a medal or trophy of his LOL. but he can take good selfies Unfortunately smhhh /j so you're like aw fuck... i think i'd be like oh you're out of my league or Not my type but if that kind of guy replies to one of your prompts...Would you not be a little curious to see how that convo goes. he's good looking enough that he could just like people's first pic and move on but You're special and Funny and he's Curious okay!!!

THANK U!!! HTANKYEWWW I LOVE THINKING AND TALKING AND SHARING AND HEARING IDEAS IT'S SO FUNSIES NEVER APOLOGIZE 2 ME! i have So many smau series ideas bouncing around in my head i've never tried but if i ever do this one...U will b the first 2 know.

[black-salt-cage]

Hey all. While I will still be allowing fans of the mandela catalogue to follow, for the time being it's being moved to the graylist. I have yet to decide if it will be moved to the blacklist or not. Yes, we certainly do take requests from media with problematic creators, this is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. and to be quite honest, I dropped the series quite some time ago because the quality tanked. So I have no real reason to keep it up other than as another option.

as said, it's undecided. but for now please do not request from this media, or anything else to do with alex kister. thank you

oh yes, with that said though I encourage anyone who continues to side with alex kister to unfollow. this isn't some shady "teehee I'm better than you" thing, it's just a matter of I will very openly talk shit about the series since beforehand his followers would eat you alive if you criticized it, and that will now include my opinions about him

[crowtrobotx]

Today is Chrysalis's one year anniversary. It's also Lottie's canon birthday! (Yes, I did this on purpose - her birthday was chosen long before I got the balls to post the fic lol.) I am feeling some type of way about it. On the one hand I was hoping I'd be further along, and lately I've been honestly feeling a bit saddened watching commenters/readers drop off bit by bit. I am trying to remind myself it's more than likely just people losing interest in RE8 itself and not a reflection on me or my writing quality, but man it's weird sometimes. Especially given how popular Check Engine was, it's hard not to take it personally! I know it's got the double whammy of OC fic and child fic and for some people that's just intolerable but I don't think I'm wrong for feeling that way and I won't apologize for it! On the other, and more overwhelmingly, I am so proud of myself. I work full time. I volunteer. I am going to school. I have many non-fandom related hobbies I keep up with. Friends. Family. An insane dog. To have written as much as I have is really cool! And crazy! And something I was terrified to do for YEARS, well before the game gave me the inspiration to actually go through with it! I spent the first part of my life unapologetically being a weird little girl, and then when I grew up and went to college and got a big people job I tried to play a part, an acceptable "role" that I thought I had to fulfill in order to meet some nebulous definition of success. Slowly but surely over the last four years I've been reconnecting with the person I tried to smother, and it's been amazing, incredible and just.... I dunno. It's weird when things go so right for me.

Anyway. This story represents a whole lot more to me than just "teehee put the blorbo in situations." I mean, it's partly that lbr, but it's also a gift to myself. It's a way to soothe a lot of agonies I've carried, a way to laugh. I'm going to keep gifting it to myself until it's done, whether I'm the only one around still reading it or not.

dilf!price who’s kid you babysit for. you can’t help but get jealous when he finally goes on a date!

this isn’t finished and if y’all want it i’ll finish it (with smut teehee)

cw: femreader!

price was a sad man with a sad life. he’d never admit it, but it was the truth. a 40-something retired military man fresh out of a nasty divorce. he’d gotten his son, jj (john junior), and the house she left him in, along with the bad memories of screaming fights in nearly every room in the house but he didn’t really have anything else.

sure every friday night his old army buddies that were still active would invite him out for drinks at a dingy pub, but that wasn’t really a social life was it? when they were deployed he was out of luck talking to anyone.

except for you. his young and bright babysitter who still had hope. you’re a cute little student who attends the local university that finds some extra money watching his little tot.

you were funny, sweet, kind; all the qualities anyone would admire in a girl. it seems like babysitting jj was more of a fun opportunity than a job for you, and price adored you for it.

you didn’t complain about payment, or cancelling last minute, you didn’t even mind staying the night for certain days. price thinks you’re more of a mother to his son than his ex-wife ever could be.

he couldn’t help but stare at your ass or look down your shirt at times, you were just so attractive! it’s just instinct to find his child’s mother-figure adorable when you play with him or cuddle him to sleep. price even gets jealous of his own kid sometimes.

it had been about a year, and his buddies were nagging him about not have a lass on his hip by now. eventually a certain scottish someone set him up with a lady about john’s age, with some boring full time job. she was remotely attractive and price didn’t want to turn down the offer, so they set up a date.

7:30 saturday night, he’d told you. of course you dropped everything to be at his doorstep like the wonderful babysitter you are. you sat on his leather couch with jj in your lap, playing some kind of game on your phone.

price comes in trying to tie a tie, obviously struggling. god he looked so attractive in dress clothes, didn’t he? you weren’t used to the burly man wearing such sophisticated clothes. embarrassingly, it sent butterflies to your core. after about 5 seconds of price fumbling over his own fingers, you offered help.

“need some assistance there?” you smiled while playing with jj. john didn’t notice how ridiculous he looked until you said something. he cleared his throat before speaking.

“yeah, hadn’t done this in awhile.” you placed jj off your lap and gave him your phone to play with. “let me help you” you stood in front of him, tying his tie with a focused look on your face. he always thought you looked cute while you were working on something.

john tried, he really tried to not look right down your cleavage but it was right there. how could he resist it? you finished up and went to the refrigerator to grab a drink.

“so hot date tonight, eh?” you chuckled while you cracked open a soda. price let out a laugh, you’re so funny to him.

“is that what it is?” he grabs his sports coat and his keys while he talks. “i don’t look ridiculous right? i haven’t been on a date in awhile.” you think his nervousness is cute despite how handsome he looks.

“i think you look quite handsome mr. price.” the way you always address him so formally makes his cock twitch in his dress pants.

“for the millionth time sweetheart, you can just call me john. but thank you, i gotta look nice re-entering the dating scene.” he checks his beard in a nearby mirror.

“they don’t know what they’ve been missing.” you smile at your cheesy comment while sipping on your drink.

“well i’ll be back eventually, it depends on how it goes. i promise not to bring some random lady in the house later tonight.” he makes sure he has everything, his keys, his wallet.

“well good luck, im rooting for you- kind of.” if you’re being honest, you don’t want any woman near this man. in your mind he belongs to you.

“kind of? what’s that mean?” he leans into the conversation- what could you possibly mean?

you move over to jj and pick him up “kind of as in, i don’t someone taking my job. i’m attached to the little guy what can i say?”

john chuckles and bends down to talk to his son. “daddy will be back soon bud- i promise. gimme some” price holds out his fist for a fistbump with jj. after he gets it, he ruffles his hair and gives him a kiss on the head. meanwhile, you can’t stop thinking about price calling himself ‘daddy’

“don’t set the house on fire okay?” he gives you that toothy grin you’re so used to.

“i promise, john.”

Introducing: Jupiter

(Archived from @sol-nebula. Also I think some of the quality bit the dust on this reupload. RIP)

hey guys how is your night going mine is going okay- OH NO *drops fanbot art*

Meet Jupiter :) Look under the cut for more info and art I’ve been working on (hopefully I do this cut thing right lol)

Beholdeth. My fanbot. Jupiter. :) Jupiter uses they/them pronouns, and their instrument of choice is the theremin! It adds a nice ambient sound to songs. Jupiter was created a few months before the weekend war, they were one of the bots made in preparation for the war. However, Peter Walter I always did hope that after the war his bots could live a peaceful life pursing music… and after all the other wars SPG canonically served in, Jupiter was finally able to pick up the theremin. They had played around with it before, but their time with it was cut short due to the need to go to war. (this picture was drawn using a reference that was a real person so it looks a little funky)

These are Peter Walter I’s first sketches of Jupiter teehee (this is actually the first digital drawings of Jupiter I did. I took my sketches I made in class and brought them to digital. I thought it would be cool to make them look like they’re on some old paper PW1 drew on) You can see they have multicolored eyes & some neat goggles. They also wear gloves because their hands got a little messed up in the weekend war. Peter repaired them to the best of his ability. Their wig of choice is long blue with a ponytail. That red shirt they’re wearing is actually a vest, they wear a white button up undershirt that you can’t see due to their long coat.

Here is Jupiter doing one of their favorite things - reading while a thunderstorm goes on outside in Library 22 of the Walter manor. (I totally didn’t make it library 22 to commemorate that I made Jupiter in the year 2022 hahaha)

Bonus - a drawing I did in one of my classes while we were talking about Pokémon of Jupiter feeding a Piplub. Because Piplub is my favorite starter 💙

Feel free to ask me questions about Jupiter or what not. To be quite honest, I feel like as if I’m still forming some aspects of Jupiter’s personality and backstory myself, so maybe some questions can help me figure out what I want to do lol

[wiltking]

O TEEHEE.. U SAW MY FANART.. I wanted to send u an ask tomorrow since I thought I'd be asleep by now but I'm still awake crying about the books (3am) ssdfg I read it by your recommendation and it's one of the first books I've picked up since trying to get into reading again and several times it made me so scared for it to end bc what if no other series will come close to how it makes me feel sddfgh anyway thank u for recommending it im insane now 🙏

i saw it right before i went to bed and when i tell you my jaw dropped..... my heart stopped my tears popped!! i already love your work so much and seeing you draw the guys!!!! 😭 made my year :')

understandable fear to have btw. even if we set the quality aside what it actually does with its story is so unique theres really no other books i can compare it to. like yeah theres plenty of queer books that i love that are complex in their own ways but rodrigo is wholly in a category of its own u feel me. anyway youre welcome for inflicting this insanity upon ye, it never ends and the pain is eternal :) thank you for giving it a try!!!!

[slytherinsnekxvii]

let's talk about lily evans and the marauders, aka moony, wormtail, padfoot and prongs. given that i didn't use their actual names, i think you can figure out where this is going. it's also long as hell, so. canon vs fanon, marauder edition, except snek is sleep deprived.

now, before we begin, i don't dislike the marauders. or lily, tbh. if I'm being perfectly, genuinely honest, i still go back and forth sometimes but they've been growing on me for a while now. the canon versions, at least. fanon does them real dirty, and that's part of why i'm writing this, because i'm genuinely tired of it. it's an injustice.

you can at least make excuses for james and lily, who were so undeveloped that jkr practically dropped a fill-in-the-blank sheet of character information in our laps, but sirius, remus and peter were around long enough for y'all to get real acquainted with them.

in canon, sirius black is an unhinged mf. genuinely. this isn't to say he's a bad guy, in fact, we see that he's still capable of doing good things, still capable of love, still capable of all the things that prove he's actually not bad at heart, just,,, severely traumatised and very steeped in negativity from his time with the dementors. what i'm saying is that this man is absolutely, no questions asked, no holds barred demented, and how could he not be? the guy sat wrongfully imprisoned in azkaban for twelve years, a good portion of which he spent as a dog in order to protect himself from the dementors. he certainly wasn't completely insane, but you cannot tell me that he was all there. he got out of azkaban fuelled almost solely by the intent to get revenge on pettigrew, tried to commit murder in front of three witnesses who were also children—one of whom was his godson—ate rats and was also malnourished, which i'm certain did not help the situation any. this man is off his goddamn rocker, and you know what? you love to see it. good for him.

oh, but, snek, that's what he's like as an adult. what about when they were at school? before azkaban? my guy, the reaction he has to grimmauld place is not the reaction of someone without trauma. i don't believe that walburga and orion were the type to physically abuse their children, but whatever happened in that house helped to fuck him up enough that he skipped the joke of part of practical joke, and pranked snape by telling him how to meet a werewolf that he knew would be fully transformed and dangerous to humans. more than that, the werewolf was remus, whom he's friends with, and who—best case scenario—would be facing a trial if james hadn't stepped in. you can say that maybe he didn't think about or understand the gravitas of his actions, but at the end of it, that's not how properly sane people react to people they dislike, and that's not how they treat their friends. if anything, it reads like he was in the middle of a breakdown and absolutely losing his shit and he wasn't thinking at all.

my guy went through some serious shit, and was in no way completely mentally stable. we can see pretty clearly that he's got a serious dark side to him that probably would have gone unbridled had he not disagreed with his family, and yet, fanon took one look at him and went, "teehee, uwu bad boi go vroom."

fanon said padfoot is a pretty boy with nice hair who is tastefully traumatised from his horribly abusive household. sirius rides his motorcycle and plays jokes and flirts with anything that moves, but he can do no real wrong and always comes back to his soft, bookish, chocolate-loving boyfriend remus, who will laugh about his lycanthropy and quietly disapprove but secretly laugh at his friends' antics while hiding his smile in his cardigan.

respectfully, what in the absolute fuck.

i'd put that meme in here if i could, the one that's like, "well done, you've broken _______ down to its bare essentials," but no. i can't bc it doesn't even apply. this isn't a meme, it's theseus' fucking ship.

fanon broke it down, and replaced the pieces one by one until we got to this point, where we need to sit down and ask ourselves, "is this even the same character?"

the answer is no, by the way. it isn't. when people talk about woobifying characters—you know, taking away every flaw they have, romanticising everything they do and making them only capable of doing good, wonderful, lovely things?—this is what we mean.

and it'd be one thing if it was just the one character, but, no. fanon went all in and made them all squeaky clean and boring, especially peter, who draws the shortest of the straws.

remus got fucked, too. not just because fanon insists on sticking him into a relationship with sirius. which, we'll tackle wolfstar in a bit, but that's not even the worst of it. here, we have yet another example of blatant, rampant woobifying. again, is he a bad person? no. we know he's a good guy, we know he's generally kind and well-mannered, we know that he wants to fo the right thing but hey, fun fact. did you know that you can be nice and a coward? did you know that you can be benevolent and good and kindly and have the greatest of intentions and still be shady as fuck? no? ask dumbledore. the man played people like chess pieces when he needed to, and he was a twinkly grandpa. these are things that can coexist.

teenage remus is a coward who, understandably, does not stand up to his friends, likely for fear of being ostracised, and doesn't uphold his prefect duties as he should and takes part in their bullying of snape as a result. he lets them romp with him in werewolf form while they are in their animagus forms and then, he lets them continue to do so even after they have multiple close calls, which, again, had anything happened, would have resulted in a trial in the best case scenario.

grownup remus is still a coward, he tells no one that sirius can move about the school in his animagus form despite wholeheartedly believing that he's a mass murderer, he tries to run out on his wife and unborn kid. he isn't deliberately making attempts to harm anyone, but he's content to sit back and let things happen to him and around him so he doesn't rock the boat, although he is capable of action, which we see when he is more than willing to help sirius merk pettigrew in the shack. he can be careless, he runs out to the shack knowing he hasn't taken his wolfsbane and ends up transforming in front of the students he, as a teacher, is meant to be protecting. of course, this doesn't negate his good qualities, it just bears repeating that his flaws do exist, and they're pretty serious.

fanon moony is always pleasant and kind and soft-spoken and bookish, and he always has to have his chocolate. he knows when to tell off his friends, and he'll do it, even if he's secretly amused by everything they do and laughs about it with his best friend, lily evans, who coincidentally spends all her time with them so he and sirius can go on double dates with james and lily and no one has to remember peter exists.

why. theseus' ship 2.0. does the actual character still exist or is this something entirely different thing bearing the same name?

as for peter, who needs peter pettigrew, the actual, legitimate, fourth marauder when you have lily evans? canon pettigrew is opportunistic as fuck. he's latching himself to the biggest bad on the block and he's going all in. for teenage peter, that was james and sirius, and for adult peter, that's voldemort. canon peter is good enough at transfiguration to master the animagus transformation, just like his friends, and he's good enough at potions to brew the potion that gives voldemort a body. and honestly, you can't say he wasn't brave. he could've run off somewhere and died, or changed his identity or something after he faked his death and framed sirius, but, no. he goes and resurrects voldemort. that's fucked up, yeah, but it happened and honestly, i respect that it. he stuck to his guns.

fanon wormtail is lucky if he exists beyond being a spineless sycophant for james and sirius, or an evil conniving little rat who's looking to toss his entire friend group to the wolves at eleven.

of course, this isn't meant to negate his bad qualities, he still murdered people and framed sirius and sold out the potters to die, but his good characteristics do exist, and james, sirius and remus genuinely were his friends.

and now, we get to lily and james.

we have hardly any information on either of them. they're a pair of cardboard cutouts that we can paint and stick flyers to and colour outside the lines however we want. we can do whatever the fuck, as long lily is brave and smart and somewhat kind and james is brave and willing to die for his family. we were essentially handed a pair of ocs.

and yet.

what little bits of canon we have are thrown out of the window regardless.

james is privileged and rich, and he throws hexes for fun. he's willing to hex lily when she disagrees with him, and then, he goes behind her back to continue hexing snape after she believes that he's stopped doing so. and that's all we know about him until he dies for his family at twenty-one years old. once again, say it with me: this does not negate his good qualities. he definitely had them, he took sirius in when sirius ran away from home, he became an animagus to keep remus company as a wolf, and he saved snape in the shack, thereby saving remus and sirius by extension. him having flaws does not make him a bad person.

fanon prongs is a feminist. he fights for equal rights for women everywhere, and he constantly treats his girlfriend, lily, like an absolute queen. he's the hottest boy in school and everyone claps when he walks through the halls. mcgonagall and dumbledore are always patting him on the back and making jokes with him. he has a built-in dark detector that helps him sense when someone is a evil and needs to he punished.

give me a break. the dude's cool and all, but was the gary stu treatment necessary?

...oh, he needed to match fanon lily? right, right.

canon lily is a contradiction unto herself. she's supposedly a great friend, but since we see her at a point where they were already drifting apart, we see her putting little effort into keeping their friendship afloat. she victim blames based on rumours, she doesn't seem to care over much about what snape has to say about the people who have been tormenting him since day one. and she's justified, of course, she doesn't have to stick around. canon lily is a bit of hypocrite, she says that snape calls everyone of her birth mudblood, but then that begs the question why she still hangs around with him if that's the case. he calls her mudblood, she retaliates by calling him snivellus, and finishes up with a dig about his underwear, which, sure, it's kicking a man with a rusty spoon and pouring salt in the wound, but she's, again, justified. i get where she was coming from. and then, of course, she dies for her kid after marrying the guy who relentlessly bullied her quote-unquote best friend for their entire school careers. but, like i said, canon lily is, in many ways, a contradiction.

lily is basically a plot device. she pushes everyone's narrative but her own, and does little else.

of course, this trend would continue in fanon. fanon lily exists to be the perfect girl who gets really angry over the slightest injustice, and of course, she gets to be one half of one of the oldest enemies-to-lovers "it was just sexual tension" cliche pairings in the book. she's just,,, a mary sue. in so many fics, so many headcanons, she's just pettigrew's stand-in, a girl to form a gang with marlene, mary and dorcas—who happen to be more undeveloped ocs who also get the woobify mary sue treatment—to parallel the marauders. there is nothing compelling about her character when she's presented as a saint, and even less when she's supposedly the other moral compass for the marauders that doesn't actually work because she thinks that james is cute.

and this brings me to the next topic. jily. what, why, how. this was supposed to be a healthy, happy relationship that would have lasted in the long run? absolutely not. even for its time, i can't say that i see it lasting.

first of all, jkr presents james' crush on lily as just that: a crush. a mildly obsessive one, but a crush nonetheless, which she tries to liken to the pulling of pigtails. and then, we see that james' way of getting her to go out with him consists of blackmail, and when that doesn't work, he resorts to threatening her. this could have been set aside if he had actually, genuinely changed when they started spending more time together, but as we're told by sirius and remus, he didn't. he just got better at hiding what he was up to. and it has to be that he hid it, because if she knew, this further damages the character that she's set up to have and paints her out to be either unable to stand up to him or an enabler.

regardless, they get married. and while i have trouble believing that it was out of genuine love, there are scenarios that could make some semblance of sense. it's wartime, after all, and maybe lily is worried about her stability in the wizarding world, so why not marry into an established family whose son is already showing interest? or perhaps, she falls into the trap of every bad boy cliche ever, and she thinks to herself, well, i got him to be better then, maybe i can get him to do even better in the future. or maybe, she doesn't get into a relationship with him immediately and sees him on and off, until eventually, she accidentally gets pregnant and they scramble to have a shotgun wedding so as not to leave lily alone at nineteen with a baby. or maybe they marry each other because they're there and sure, neither of then is ready and they don't know what love even is but what else is there to do when there's a dark lord about? anyways, the point is, they get married.

and then what? if we count pottermore into canon, he goes on to further damage her relationship with petunia and vernon, to the point where she ends up crying. if we don't, she fades into the background enough that nobody has anything to say about her. she's harry's mum, she's james' wife, lily potter, she was kind and smart and brave and that's it. her agency is gone, anything else we have of her personality is gone.

jily just,,, wasn't built to last. and, yeah, this,,, this is a hill i'll die on.

same with wolfstar, honestly. there are so many reasons why it wouldn't work, but fanon has made it so fucking prevalent that it's literally everywhere no matter where you look.

first of all, i've said it before and i'll say it again. sirius is more likely to get with james that he is to ever end up in a relationship with remus. their chemistry is just,,, underdeveloped. net zero for a relationship.

secondly, sirius instigated the werewolf prank, and lupin would have paid the price for it. this could have been overlooked, but he doesn't seem the slightest bit guilty about any of it when it's brought up in poa. he could have been responsible for lupin losing the security of his place at hogwarts in the best case scenario, and in the worst case, his life. and he seems to look forward to full moons, even though they clearly aren't pleasant for remus, which,,, yeah, you're going to have fun, but like, maybe be concerned about the fact that your friend undergoes excruciating pain and it isn't a pleasant time for him? read the room, my g.

thirdly, they don't trust each other as much as fanon seems to think they do. they were both willing to believe each other the traitor before ever suspecting pettigrew. sirius thought remus gave away the potters, hell, he thought remus was a spy for voldemort, and remus was convinced that sirius was a mass murderer. neither of them needed to be convinced.

fourthly, maybe i'm reading too much into it, but like. sirius had money. remus had no money, since, yk, he was a werewolf and struggling for cash and still, sirius,,, did not leave him any money. i feel like if you had money to spare, you would give to your friend who is literally poor. but, again, maybe i'm reading too much into it and this isn't as valid a point as i think it is.

and ehh, the fifth reason is that it's,,, actually very much not the representation for the ltgbt community that fanon says it is but y'all aren't ready for that conversation.

anyways, just,,, even when you set the couple shit aside, the power dynamics between everyone here is fucked. like, james and sirius are clearly at the top of food chain calling the shots and egging each other on. then there's lily, who isn't even a marauder, but is always ever-so-slightly above remus but still not on their level, because, well. neither of them actually listen to her. remus is the novelty friend, the friend who's,,, alright, i guess, but you keep them around specifically because they're funny or they can dance or they have something that you can either show off to other people or keep as your little inside joke, your little secret, yk? and peter is just sort of there. like, yeah, he can do what we can but does that make him as good as we are? no. does he have a funny little something about him that we can exploit? nah. therefore he sits at the bottom. and like, yeah, james and sirius are on the same level, but james is yanking sirius' chain, not the other way around. anyways, like i said. power dynamic's fucked and it bothers me that we were given all of this, and fanon decided to take it all and throw it away so they could give us flamboyant!badboi!sirius black x softboi!motherhen!remus lupin going on double dates with feminist!trustfundbaby!james potter and saint!lily evans while ignoring peter pettiwho?

theseus' fucking ship, indeed.

anyways, this needed to be said. it might not make as much sense as i want it to, considering it's 4:12 in the morning as i'm posting this, after taking a break from writing to do some research and coming across way too much content about fanon marauders, but it's here and it still makes enough sense that you can read it and understand what i mean. and like, at the end of the day, you can go ahead and headcanon whatever you please, you can write fic and make art and do whatever you like, just,,, remember that they're exactly that. headcanons. stop presenting fanon as canon. please. i'm literally begging. we actually have evidence against it. just,,, acknowledge that they're headcanons and stop putting them forward as though they're able to fit into canon. please.

🌹 🔥 📀 💚 💧 🍆 Made a whole rainbow of asks for Kass

Oh this is going to get so long, thank you so much (kissing you so so much right on the mouth)

🌹 How easy is it for them to connect with others and make friends? On the flip side how easy is it for them to make an enemy of someone? Are they the kind of person who hangs around the food table at a party and never talks to anyone or are they the type who can talk to anyone?

He’s not outright a peoples person and if he could choose he’d probably be solitary for most of the time - but he also doesn’t not like people? At heart he’s a scholar and a writer, a keen observer who is a good conversationalist but rarely lets people get close enough to study him back

Out of him and Vermont, though, he’s definitely in charge of making most of their friends. But then again, most of it is hardly more than acquaintances - most of the friends he makes don’t get to miss him at the end of a cycle through no intent of his own

🔥 Give us a list of general likes and dislikes, such as colours, textures, music, weather and other stuff!

Color: blues and turquoise, specifically dark warm purple and orange as well (this is also the colors he wears most of the time). Never really made his peace with most pastels

Textures: a bit of a texture nerd in that he has dropped good amount of money on quality blankets and shawls, sure loves him his cashmere. Also kind of related, but he fiddles with Vermont’s hair whenever he can get to do it as a tactile thing

Music: not hugely into music, more of a ‘soft jazz 10 hour Sunday relaxation’ YouTube video kind of lad. He also really likes soundscapes and he has a couple movie soundtracks he listens to a lot

Weather: unsurprisingly, really into rain and will get pissy if it’s cloudy with no rain for too long

Other stuff: generally not fond of overly floral or sweet smells, bad with but very fond of children and a reader of a lot of different things with a huge soft spot for magical realism and soft sci-fi

📀 How easy is it to shock your OC? To confuse them? To lie to them, to manipulate them? How are they with feelings of trust? Can your OC be trusted?

Teehee very topical for him. The idea of trust is inherently a tad weird for this particular character. He is trusting but he’s never naïve, he goes along with the resets not out of misplaced trust but rather something like faith? A twisted sort of reverence?? He knows that something is going on; he’s baseline very hard to lie to, but Vermont in particular just like … can’t. They see through each other.

The times Vermont resets them without Kass’ knowledge or explicit consent are undeniable fucked up but Kass is not without agency and I never want to imply that he’s just meekly dragged along. They’re wrapped up in each other beyond repair - he knows or chooses not to know. He trusts because what else is there to do?

💚 Talk about some of the traumatic events in your OC’s life. These events can be ones that have happened to them or a loved one. These events can be minor or major.

ooh boy. I like the idea that the violence that seeps through his life is very quiet and downplayed. Where Vermont is grandiose in his angsting, the most traumatic part for Kass is the quiet and ongoing loss inherent to both immortality and memory decay

💧 What is the earliest memory your OC can recall? Do they know what their first words were or remember where they took their first steps? Do they have any mementos of their childhood they’ve kept such as a stuffed toy or tiny baby clothes?

Time is very loose for him, a lot of it muddled together without the grounding of his physical body changing much there to place things on a timeline. His whole storyteller/author thing comes out of a want to archive and remember. He doesn’t carry many or meaningful trinkets between resets but he does scratch at the itch by writing; grasping at what can’t be recalled

The only exception is probably the jewelry? It’s not from his “childhood”- he didn’t have one - but it is from very early in his existence. An amber earring in his left ear and two pendants he sometimes wears as necklaces, sometimes as bracelets

🍆 Tea or Coffee or Hot Chocolate? Sweet or Spicy? Fruits or Vegetables?

A predominant tea person who occasionally has coffee periods. Definitely spicy. A fruity guy all around
