That new chapter was so effing good! I don't know why but that's exactly how I imagined how yeosang would fuck s/o. I feel so bad for wooyoung lmao but at the same time I want him to suffer more like I want him to see her fuck every single one of them until it drives him so crazy that he loses his shit and demands everyone the truth 😭

I'm so looking forward to her dynamics with hongjoong, seonghwa, jongho and especially San. You're a lil evil for teasing us with those subtle hinted smut scenes with san in chapter 3(San's sexy naked ass waiting in her bedroom)and 4. San is a mystery to me because I feel like he could be the kinkiest of them all or the most vanilla.

Mingi teasing wooyoung was so funny and hot at the same time. When he said "what if it's an invitation?" NOW WE GOTTA SEE THESE TWO HAVE A THREESOME WITH HER IN THAT DAMN SHOWER STALL. Imagine them having a competition on who can make her cum more. They gonna be doing IT for the entire night until the sun rises.

Amazing work!! Loved it loved it loved it 👏👏👏👏

The way I got so excited seeing your ask. ITS LONG AND UR TELLING ME SPECIFIC FAVE PARTS AHHHH. I love this so much. Reading this made smile 😭 that’s also my dilemma rn should I make woo get closer to hitting or…make him suffer more HAHDHDHAHAAG

All I’m gonna say is San and Y/N go way back…San is very sweet but don’t be fooled HEHE ILL STOP HERE I DONT WANT TO SPOIL

Mingi is hahaha tall scary silly cute sexy himbo. He’s going to make Wooyoung’s life hell at this point. He’s going to tease him just for fun 😭

Lily can’t defend what she doesn’t know is happening, but what she *did* witness in Snape’s Worst Memory should’ve put her off James completely. Not because she owes Severus anything, but because James was sadistically cruel in that scene, not just a bit full of himself. A year (it was only a year later going by the timing of Petunia’s wedding) and she’s in a serious relationship with a guy she witnessed humiliating, choking and exposing someone underprivileged? Speaks volumes. Lily’s not a moron, so the only way it can be rationalised is if she comes to believe that Severus deserved what he got by the lake that day.

You’re overlooking an important aspect of Lily’s character: her capacity for forgiveness and her tendency to give people a chance if she perceives change in them.

Lily did see James’s behavior in SWM and was definitely put off by it, but she also witnessed his "genuine" growth and change since that time. It wasn’t only about the potential for growth; James actively demonstrated that he had made progress. Whether he truly changed or was just putting on a front is a separate issue, but Lily’s decision to give him a chance was based on the growth he demonstrated and her belief in his potential. Dismissing her choice as a failure to acknowledge James’s past ignores the complexity of personal relationships and the possibility for people to evolve over time. Lily’s actions were driven by her belief in change, which is a fundamental part of who she is.

Ok guys, I'm officially CANCELLING the 'is lily a social climber' discourse. And I'm sorry but I don't think I'll reply to all the 'here's my opnion on why lily sucks' essays in my inbox haha, but I encourage you to write out your opinions on your blogs.

I think I've made my arguments on this topic pretty clear by now, a few times in fact. So I just don't want to have to repeat myself over and over. I don't think Lily is a social climber lol, and I think the 'evidence' for it in the text is flimsy at best and actively contradicted by a lot of the information we're given about Lily in canon. And (from what I've observed) a lot of this seems based on pretty silly and unfair assumptions about Lily. Like 'she was one of slughorn's favourites that means she's a social climber' is a huge reach imo, but anyway, pls continue to write 'Lily is a social climber' AUs if that's what you want.

My honest opinion is that none of this is based in canon though, unless you're jumping to the worst possible reading of everything Lily does. Which you can certainly do, I'm just not at all convinced.

I know I'm pretty open to discussion and disagreement on here. But I also do have my limits. Lily is a character I am very fond of, I think that's pretty obvious. For perspective, imagine your favourite character was Harry, and your inbox was just full of screeds about Harry being a homophobe because once he was rude to Dumbledore. Stupid example lol, but you get it. I don't think it's hate or maliciously done, but it is a little wearing. That's all.

[messrsrarchives]

what's the argument against snape that you hate the most? Because it doesn't make sense, is a lie, isn't canon, ect

-a curious snape hater

snily, first of all. i did a rant here about them and a video yap here about them but the idea that snape was creepily obsessed with lily? i hate it. is he a good person? no, absolutely not. was he creepily obsessed??? no.

but i think the big thing that i've ALSO yapped about, is "he held her dead bo-" no he didn't nuh uhhhh and i've ranted about that here

i'm like in the ➡️ middle ⬅️ yk? where i can appreciate his character, delve into and prove stupid things like this wrong, BUT can also recognise that he is a shite person in canon and is inexcusable in a lot of areas. so not a snater at alllll but not a sneep either (they scare me actually)

OH YK WHAT ACTUALLY !!! the idea that he only wanted to save lily. which i've also yapped about on this page but can't find it but !!! i mean first of all,,, yeah. his bully and a kid he's never met might not rank as high on his personal priorities as lily but !?!

when he goes to dumbledore are we actually imagining that,,, dumbledore isn't going to get them all??? (and if we're taking films as canon like people do the body hugging scene, he does say "save them all") BUT LIKE !!! i don't think any part of snape is like "i'll ask him to save lily and he'll leave the others behind :D" like no !!! he knows they would all be saved??? his panicked mind is of courseeee going to think of his one and only connection in life but not,,, not at the detriment of her family??? idk that whole thing has just always confused and i think it says more about dumbledore that people assume snape wanted james and harry dead as if,,, dumbledore would knock on the door and go "hi, i am saving lily. no, no, nooo james :/ stay here with your child :D"

like yeah okay maybe he wants james dead 😭 but he didn't askkk for them to be killed or expect them to be killed so that argument makes no sense to me. i too would only ask for my friend if i was fighting the clock, was incredibly stressed, had been through a war, was turning my back on everything i have. i wouldn't list off every family member i'd just be like yeah okay save her (and by extent i expect the others too)

Hai. Will you write a love letter from Regulus to Sirius? Pretty pretty PRETTY please? (Bonus points if it includes other members of wolfstarbucks 👀)

In Come with Me, Sirius sees Regulus writing to Kingsley and asks for a love letter of his own. It's not a serious request. Regulus does it anyway. This is that letter.

~~~

À mon chien,

I want to scold you for demanding a love letter. It’s impolite, however I have come to accept that disregarding societal norms is part of your charm, and really I’m pleased that you’ll demand the things you want from me. I wish to grant you those things. I wish for you to be exquisitely happy, even in the smallest, most ridiculous things. 

And perhaps you deserve a love letter from me. I’ve been a fool these last weeks. I did not mean to cause you harm and I hate that I have. I hated seeing you like that. I’ve had enough of seeing pain in your eyes. From now on, I’d like you to only feel good. 

In order to support this, I’ve compiled a list of things I adore about you. If you ever use this against me, I will have Kingsley spank you until you can’t sit. To be honest, I may do that anyway, but regardless, do not use this against me or you will regret it. 

I should likely stop threatening you in this love letter. Old habits die hard. In any case. 

I adore the way you laugh. I want to swallow the sound. It would taste like cinnamon sugar, it would keep me full for days. I adore the way your eyes crinkle when you’re pleased. Happiness fits you like a well-tailored suit. 

I adore your hands. You’re so restless, fidgety, and sometimes when I am feeling restless I watch you move, and feel soothed by the constancy of you. 

I did not know this until two nights ago, but I adore the way you sleep, the way you rest your head on my chest, the tickle of your hair. I adore being close to you. I adore that I can finally touch you, and see how you respond. The way you push back into my knot. The way your hair feels between my fingers. The scent of you. There’s so much that I wish to know, and see, and taste. I want to know your every secret. 

And I—Sirius, I adore you, everything about you, and I have for as long as I can remember. At times I’ve felt I must push it away, hide it behind scoffing and mockery, because it is so strong, how much I love you. How much I want you near. Even now that I do not have to hide it, I’m alarmed at what I’ll find. 

However, I’m willing to find it, because you will be with me. 

I miss you already. I wish you were back here in my arms. Tell me you’ll be back soon. 

Tendrement,

RAB

how do you think the marauders acted like to other ppl at hogwarts? like we know they bullied snape but we also know that despite james' and sirius' arrogance and status, they were still kind to remus and peter. plus, there was some line that lily i think said about james hexing ppl left and right. i mean we all know what those popular kids were like in school... and the marauders were pretty popular. by 7th year, we know james had changed. but how mean were they really do you think?

honestly i think they were about a little meaner than the average teenager, because in hbp remus mentioned that levicorpus (snape’s spell) was quite used by everyone during their years in hogwarts, and that it wasn’t unusual to have it used on yourself unknowingly.

i think that the privilege sirius and james grew up with definitely affected their perception on the world and on the other students, possibly a bit resembling draco malfoy; he made some quite nasty remarks at times and while i can’t really see james doing them (the potters were fiercely anti-muggleborn discrimination), we have seen a little bit of the blacks’ opinions in regards to their superiority and the inferiority of everyone else, so the younger members of their family might have had those values ingrained into their heads.

however, like you said, with time and being exposed to multiple views and diversity, they learnt and developed both as people and as members of society.

as in for remus and peter, i think that both of them were quite good people in school:

remus was most likely kind to most people as we have seen that that is his general attitude towards quite about anyone most times. he’s also a fly-under-the-radar person in order not to have his secret easy to access and i think that when he was a prefect, he might have let people (such as his friends) do whatever they wanted. (for his friends, it’s because they knew his secret and he considered that, with the possibility of making them abide to the rules, they will spill out — with other people it might or might not have happened).

with the people he knew, i feel like peter was thoughtful towards. however, most people considered him to be a “tag-along” or a “side character” for the marauders (we see this in poa, when they only remember peter for always being attached to sirius and james and for being, in their opinion, quite stupid).

Okay, I had A Thought. Two thoughts, actually, because another one came to me as I was writing.

In SWM, Snape insults Lily in front of James. He's angry and humiliated, yeah, so? How's your friend coming to your defense a bad thing in that case?

I think the usual argument is that he wasn't thinking clearly and his real opinion about Muggleborns came out - ie. "he is just THAT bigoted" or "he is just THAT hurt", depending on how you want to look at it.

But consider one of the two other options:

His Slytherin friends don't approve of his friendship with Lily, so he actively makes a habit of calling her "a filthy little Mudblood" in front of them to fit in. And then it "slips out" in front of her too.

(the one that inspired this post) He does that exactly for James's benefit. He knows/suspects that James is interested in her, and he badmouths her in front of him, paints her in a negative light, so that James will think that she's nothing worth his time and get over her. Of course, it doesn't work, because this is James we're talking about, but it's a standard feature of abusive relationships - put the person of interest down in front of others, so as, firstly, to keep them in line, and secondly, prevent others from liking them enough to try and take them away from you.

Romantic or not, I think the Lily/Snape relationship definitely has abusive vibes.

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

in some jurisdictions (including california in the usa and in the uk as well more recently) pantsing someone can result in sexual assault (or simple assault) charges, even if it's done between students. swm was def written to be standard issue bullying, but a decent amount of the modern western audience is gonna read it in a particular context that is familiar to them/filter it through anti-bullying lectures they've gotten in school/etc.

okok i def get this. i do have a few thoughts they probably arent very well explained but i will try to put them in words best i can.

tldr at the bottom. !!

i do wanna j put it out there, generally, that james & sirius were complete assholes for this and by extension, so were remus and peter. i dont like snape but this was shitty and inexcusable. if it sounds like i'm justifying them in this, i'm not (promise 💔)

i know today it's more often than not considered sexual assault/public indecency , which is totally justified ofc, but this scene didn't take place today - it took place around like . half a centaury ago. lots changed.

yes, ofc, it was wrong then too and even if it didn't mean j&s would go through legalities and stuff, they shouldn't've done it but back then it wasn't considered to be so bad and it was fairly normalized, they probably saw it and did it (albeit in a much crueler way).

hogwarts doesn't teach mannerisms , they never sat through anti-bullying segments or got taught the hard limits or how to fight back vs aggravate. it was written as bullying , because it was. it wasnt intended s/a but that doesn't mean it wasn't heinous .

s/a comes w intent, james and sirius had no intent further than to show their power over him + get rid of their boredom.

istg they were so horrible.

according to wikipedia, this is the definition of sexual assault

Sexual assault is an act in which one intentionally sexually touches another person without that person's consent, or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against their will.

according to this definition, it's not s/a. it's still blurry, if it happened today i would think it be, because james would choose a specifically sexually violent way of bullying snape, but at the time pantsing didn't have those connotations (esp between boys). obv you can still believe what you want , this is just my two cents.

(i'm also gonna reply to some comments from my original post here since it's easier than responding in the comment section).

@eddvirusz : there's nothing sexual about the scene, and i know s/a is a pretty umbrella term that more specific things fall into but i dont find this specific instance to fall under that. it probably was just a big bullying scene for him bc they didnt have the nuances we have today. ik jkr is sexist but also. 70s were sexist. male s/a wasnt considered shit . but that's not the point of it, because there was no sexual intent which, as i said needs to be present. pantsing itself is not considered s/a according to most sites.

@silentgirlspeaksout : okay i just read through the entirety of swm and this is the order of how they hurt each other physically/attempt to + talking abt what u adressed:

snape attempts to hurt james first. james calls out to him, and snape reaches for his wand. you could say that snape expected an attack and was prepping for self defense or something, but ehhh... i dont believe that. let snape be an imperfect victim, he tried to hurt first

james responded w expelliarmus

he then did impedimenta (slows down/stops target - can also blow them away (which it did) if used more strongly)

james and sirius just taunted him while he lay for a while, throwing insults etc etc . power play.

4. snape tries to throw hexes at them but he can't bc his wand is far away

5. james uses scourgify. i dont exactly know if this is like a bad hex, bc it just cleans, so it must just fill snape's mouth w soap ? ig it has chemicals and stuff, but i doubt pureblood james & sirius knew of that. it did make him gag & choke though, that's when lily enters

james saying 'he exists' seems like a joke ..... i 1000% believe j&s & snape were both horrible to each other and james wasnt gonna stop in the middle of his little show to explain that to lily in detail

this is also where he says 'go out w me and i'll leave him alone' - youre right ,,, this was gross. it was played as shits and giggles i think, 'oh haha he never does miss an opportunity to ask her out, does he!', but it's icky . same , it's no s/a but its harassment soo . big L james. this entire post is kind of a big L for james, and sirius too but he has a lot of Ls.

also, "choke him out with soap before he does anything," - he attempted to do shit

"so I don’t blame him for fighting back with a cutting hex after he’s been hit with several spells" - i get it, vaguely, but not in the same sense (?). if james only hit him with these three hexes and snape went to draw blood, i'd say snape was in the wrong (sorry?), but they had a history - snape drew blood because james and snape had done this before, they've gone violent

6. snape cuts james' face (deep enough that it instantly splatters to his robes)

7. hanging snape upside down the first time

lily tells them to back off,

8. james let him off (*threw him down)

9. sirius hits him with a body-bind spell that temporarily paralyzes him

lily tells them to stop,

10. james mutters counter curse

snape calls lily a mudblood + her exit,

11. snape is hung again and we're left unsure whether or not he was exposed or not

there can be arguments made that, like you said, this is only unconfirmed bc it wouldnt be allowed to be in a children's book otherwise (but the book deals w nazis n like a hundred other things so idk it may be left on purpose)

you say jkr is weird about s/a esp w men and while obv #fuckjkr men and s/a discussions generally were pretty weird in the 70s which is why james mightve never considered that a possibility as to what he did + snape never considered it as s/a. fuck jkr tho

for the mary and mulciber thing , i was just yapping tbh but tysm ! fuck mulciber hail mary

ok i think ive yapped enough gn

tldr : s/a requires there to be something sexual taking place. you can argue assault, you can't argue sexual given time frame and context and just .... anything. but that doesn't mean it wasn't terrible and disgusting. j&s sucked ass for this, i may not like him but ill go pro snape where he's a victim.

not s/a, still unforgivable. snape is an imperfect victim because he's violent too. james and sirius are sadists and they should talk that out with someone that isnt each other.

Hi Bitandbobsandstuff

Just finished reading your epic story “Safe with Me”. I found it last night and I have binge read the whole thing. Absolutely and with no shame neglected my family and ran my phone down twice as I wanted to know what happens.

Your writing is amazing!! I love the relationship between the reader and Bucky (the sass and the snark is on point!). Love hoe you have fleshed out the relationship between Bucky and Steve so much more than any of the films have.

I actually laughed out loud when Bucky tells Steve to “stop being a little bitch and suit your self-righteous spangly ass up”. Thought that’s was so Bucky and such a good line.

The whole twist with Bucky’s trigger words and Jack - I would happily unload a clip into that arsehole!!

Just wanted to say brilliant brilliant writing and it’s definitely a favourite.

Thank you for sharing.

I’ve taken absolutely forever to respond, but thank you so much for this lovely message!!

I had a lot of fun writing this relationship with Bucky and Steve…making them as sassy and snarky as humanly possibly toward each other brings me joy. 😉

I appreciate you stopping by, hope you have a wonderful day!

[padfootastic]

I think that Lupin's birthday, March 10, should be Prongsfoot/Bambibelle day. What do you think??

sooooooo, about this--

i know im the biggest remus & r/s hater around these parts (for good reason too imo) but i dont actually agree with this, anon. dani had a good answer for this about how we shouldnt build our community on dislike of another character/ship but to add to that--why make j/s about remus at all? like, i get it can be a bit of a 'gotcha' moment and i appreciate pettiness but at the same time, i dont want to be reminded of remus every time im posting about my boys ykno?

[luvt0kki]

THE WAY IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR WRITINGSSSSSS. The interlude was so GOOD ! it only makes me more excited and curious about YN’s past!😫 Now i need to know how San and YN separate and reunite. Not me being selfish in wanting a full chapter on the back story of how YN was sent on a mission to execute Caption Hongjoong 🫣 only to be REUNITED WITH HER CLEAR SOULMATE SANNIEEEE. ALSO this interlude only makes me question more on how YN falls in love with MINGI even after reuniting with her first love. UGH i love it so much. Hands down the best series i’ve read so far and i’m looking forward to so much more😫. THANK THANK THANKKKKK YOUUU for your hard AMAZING work 🥹🫶🏻

AHHHHHH THANK U FOR LEAVING THIS MESSAGE IM😭😭😭 man I feel like that’s why this series is becoming bigger than I expected. Like i want to add all those details! Before we come to the finale which is woo so OT8. But I’m just scared yall might get impatient .

I definitely plan to write San and Y/N’s reunion because the Hongjoong assassination mission is something that I think it is very important to the plot and Y/N’s character and Hongjoong.

THANK U SO MUCH ILYSM FOR THIS 😭

Hello! I just read your spin the bottle shadowidomauk fic, and I was wondering if there was going to be a second chapter? I loved it!! You wrote it very well and I love the concept. :] have a great day!

Ahhh hi! I'm so glad to hear that everyone's been enjoying this fic!! Yes, there WILL be a second chapter—I've been slowly plucking away at it since I posted chapter one, but life has been... unfortunately cruel and hectic since then, so I haven't had the time or the spoons to really throw a good effort into finishing it up. But rest assured, anon, there will be a second chapter SOON!

[seriousbrat]

isn’t it funny how everyone says james hated the dark arts while the only time we saw him was when he used a dark spell🤔

did he? unless I'm missing something lol, he used a jinx. Invented by Snape, not that James knew that. Not exactly the dark arts even though it was offensive magic and he used it in a particularly nasty way. There's a difference in canon between hexes, jinxes, and curses, like dark magic is a pretty specific thing in canon. Hexes and jinxes can definitely be used cruelly or nefariously, but I think on the whole they're kind of meant to be whimsical, less harmful and not permanent in damage. There's a significant breach between that and something that has the sole purpose of maiming, torturing, controlling, or killing.

He did hate the dark arts, that doesn't mean he wasn't a dick. I don't think levicorpus is a dark spell even if Snape invented it, there's quite a difference between hoisting someone up by the ankle and causing gashes to keep opening up all over someone's body. Levicorpus is used on Ron by Harry and they both find it funny, whereas there's no situation where Sectumsempra would ever be anything other than utterly fucked up to cast on someone.
