#i really really appreciate u being here regardless of me disliking remus tho lol

hi so im being very masochistic here but i would really love to know more about your thoughts on remus 👀. is your dislike of him directed more towards canon or fanon or both?

i tried looking through your blog but i only saw posts where you like... slightly approached the topic before backing away completely, and now i'm curious 😅

cause from what i have seen so far, i totally get where you're coming from, especially within what seems to be the popular fanon wolfstar dynamic lately. but you're one of the first people i've seen actually say anything about it and i've enjoyed reading all of your other takes in the short amount of time since i followed you.

so if you were looking for an excuse to rant about this then please, this is me giving you one :)

(remus is my favorite character and i feel like i need to say that in case you take one look at my blog and figure it out yourself cause then this ask is going to seem really weird lmao but i promise i can handle criticism of him)

oooh hello there and welcome to my rant zone blog 💀

i’m gonna be honest, you’re so much braver than i am because i could not even deal with tangential criticism of james or sirius, let alone willingly engage with someone else about it 😭 how do you do it? teach me ur ways, mighty soldier 🙏

as for remus,,,,i have talked about him a couple times but way back so it’s no wonder u haven’t found it. it’s here- 1 // 2 // 3 // 4

warning: it’s not remus friendly, at all. i’ve tried not to like, outright bash but i’d say i ended up doing it in some places anyway.

tl;dr—i used to really like remus and wolfstar a while ago, and even now i grudgingly read it because you cant really avoid it, but the more i’ve thought about it, the more i realised i really dislike him. it started off w fanon remus (because he’s,,,some other creature only) but now i can’t stand canon either.

#i really really appreciate u being here regardless of me disliking remus tho lol #i hope this doesn’t make u turn away (bc i have…not minced my words lol) #it’s weird bc i go through these phases where i’m usually neutral about him #but then i see a hc/fic that riled me up so much #i think i just ended up reacting to his continuous deification/OC-ness with the other extreme #i’m not saying he should be perfect or anything. i like plenty of fucked up characters #but remus unluckily ends up way below sirius and harry (and james) on the totem pole for me #so i tend to view his actions from their pov more often than not #hence all this…uncharitable-ness ykno? #i certainly don’t think everyone should feel this way #s’just me #definitely open for a dialogue re this even if we might have to agree to disagree heh #pen’s asks
