have you always written for the marauders or did you stumble into it or got inspired or ??? i’m just so curious ☺️

story time with Lils.

I could give a simple answer to this, very short, and all, but I feel like telling the story of how I got into fanfiction so you’ll get a whole textbook instead.

It must have been like 2009 (catch me speaking like an old person), when I was laying in my grandma’s bed, fantasizing about a self insert into Harry Potter (actual Harry Potter mind you I didn’t know the Marauders, nor was my 9 year old self in love with a Sirius yet) and thinking “Gosh wish I could write that… but I can’t because copyright and it’s illegal.”

Fast forward do 2011-2012, THE FACEBOOK ERA, and your girl stumbles into a fanpage that *literally* was all about reader inserts with certain YouTubers I had an unhealthy obsession with at the time. It was then that Lilly discovered ✨the fantastic world of fanfiction✨. And it didn’t stop.

I love reading, but I had always been one to write stories, poems, songs, you name it, I probably wrote it. And so I started writing fanfics as well. First I think it must have been the YouTubers. I also remember reading a Percy Jackson fanfic once, and omg it’s been so long, I don’t even remember the webpage I read it at, but it was like it’s own little blog with its own little colors and stuff, cool shit tbh.

Must have been around 2012 that I started a fanfic of Jack Frost. Yes ladies and gentleman, Jack Frost, he was too cute for 12 y/o Lilly. That one, is absolute cringe if I go back and read it now, but also kinda funny? The reverse harem was so heavy in that one I swear I didn’t even know that was a thing but EVERYONE was inlove with the MC.

Either way, writing longer stories really wasn’t for me back then, so I started writing oneshots. And boy-oh-boy did I love them. I must say “Thank you Bucky Barnes for existing and having me obsess over you.” I must have over 30 one shots written for him. Or more, I have never counted. Some still sitting on my drafts lol.

Then I started writing for Loki and made a small follow along fic of the series, called Time Variant 30578, and I was so proud I finished it (-ish, season 2 just came up and I still have to write for that).

Not that it’s the only thing I’ve finished, I actually wrote a book, it’s a book about a serial-kiIIer, but even if we see his life, the actual unaliving parts are told from the perspective of the victims. Pretty gory, certainly something. But I liked it. That one’s done and sitting in my computer. I still want to find time to edit it and maybe publish it one day, but who knows? Off topic.

Anyway I rewatched SPN and wrote a few shots for one of the loves of my life Dean Winchester. And I have pondered on writing a series for a gender-bend spell type of thing. A short one (but actually short this time, not like GC).

And then, somewhere in between me starting a small business of HP stuff and watching Tick…Tick…Boom! (Which had me obsess over Andrew), and the already smoldering obsession with Ben, I started reading Marauders fics. Discovering the magical world of ✨Poly!Marauders✨

And then I wrote the first part of Gilded Constellations (march this year, probably) and then the second and then the first 12 parts and then I decided to post it and then people showed actual interest?!?! And I kept writing and writing and then I wanted GC to have smut. But I was shit at smut and wanted to practice so The Five Senses was born. After a LOT of research, I kid you not, so much reading fics and even YouTube tutorials lol (on writing guys, that kind of content is NOT allowed on YouTube!). Anyway, writing just solidified my obsession with my boys. And then there was Maraudween, more smut practice but also, I kind of like writing smut at this point? And scary action filled stories??? Right up my ally.

So yeah, in short; I’ve always been a writer, I have always liked Harry Potter and I have been writing fanfics for a while and just recently started writing for the Marauders, but you’re not gonna stop me any time soon.

I like living in my own head, and I love writing stories, and I adore our boys so, you’ll be seeing so much of me you’ll get sick of it lol

Did that answer your question? I feel like one of this teachers that students ask a question to and then tell the entire story of their life. But I feel like I did answer the question.

What if Variant Loki meets Variant Tony Stark after the timelines diverge, creating a new universe? And Tony is brought in to assist Loki with fixing the timelines?

More posts here <3

“Welcome, Man of Iron... I’ve heard so much about you from my other... self. Why don’t you come a little closer, and perhaps we can have a civil conversation?”

“Fat chance,” Tony spoke, and Loki’s took a few steps closer instead; slowly, as if he were biding his time.

“You do want your Variant back, yes?” Loki raised an eyebrow, and mischief gleamed within his gaze. Tony frowned, his fists closing tighter.

“Yeah...”

The Asgardian royal calling himself king inclined his head, and smiled, courteous as ever and it made Tony’s skin crawl, unused to seeing Loki, of all people, treat him this way.

“Then be my guest, and perhaps if you play nicely, I’ll give you back to him.”

HI! first off I love your Loki posts and I agree with all of them! But one thing that confused me somewhat was that you say the show frames the supposedly evil loki as the villain and while the tones in the first ep second that I keep thinking of 1984 and how Variant! loki will eventually team up with that 'Evil'Loki (that is if it even is loki which I also doubt).

It's just that I'm so convinced that in the future episodes They're going to shift the view being presented on the tva as we learn actually how bad they are and in the End, Variant! Loki will go from 'freedom from freedom' to Giving back free will to the universe and becoming the god of stories like in agent of asgard.

After reading your posts and all the inconsistencies (that I absolutely Agree with I'm not trying to say you're wrong) I just feel very hopeless y'know? I've loved this character since I first watched thor when I was 7 and they're just not taking care of him? Can't he be fine? Not a hero, but just not pillaged by guilt and grief and being emotionally manipulated for one?

But nonetheless I'll still hold out hope that the show will give a big plot twist that The TVA are bad people and Loki's glorious purpose is to destroy them and give free will back to the universe

Hi! Thanks so much for this ask! That's really lovely to hear that you enjoy reading what I write. I really do smile every time I get a message like this. (Also you are of course under no obligation to agree with everything I say.) Respectful dialogue and a diversity of opinion are great.

Here's my issue. Some aspects of the aesthetic definitely recall 1984. However, the TVA is kinda of presented as "cutesy authoritarians." It doesn't seem, at least so far, that we're meant to take them very seriously. What they are doing is objectively evil, but the show doesn't frame it that way. That's why pretty much every reviewer has summarized the show as loki being brought to justice by the TVA rather than Loki bravely fighting his sadistic authoritarian captors. If you scroll down to the bottom here you can also read quotes from the director and head writer that frame the TVA and Mobius positively, and even present the scene where Mobius berates Loki until he breaks down by telling him the same things that originally drove him to suicide, as a positive one of "mentorship."

The authoritarian vibe could've worked great if they were gonna have the TVA be twist villains. The problem is that there's no twist because we already know they are evil so how would a reveal even work? We already know that they commit acts of murder, torture, genocide, privacy violation, trial without due process, police brutality, forced labor, and enslavement in service of their goal of eliminating free will; nothing about their methods or end goal are noble in any way. Because of that, a "reveal" that they are evil would fall flat. We already know they're evil. If we didn't know those things then the authoritarian aesthetic could originally seem like a cute joke parodying office culture and then take on new significance when we learned that the TVA is actually genuinely evil and scary. That would've been great.

I think the reason a lot of people are waiting for a twist reveal is that the narrative hasn't acknowledged that the TVA and Mobius are evil even tho from the moment we meet them they do evil things. This creates a sense of dissonance so the audience keeps waiting for the narrative to acknowledge it. This would work if the TVA had evil vibes that were later confirmed. But they don't have bad "vibes." They're full on committing horrific acts in the service of a horrific goal and the narrative gives them a pass.

Even if Loki were the simplistic villain the story is trying to retcon him into, the TVA would still be infinitely worse. If Loki was wrong to try to violently impose his will on earth, then surely the TVA is more wrong to try to violently impose their will on all reality. If the TVA isn't wrong to do that, then Loki can't be bad either. The narrative hypocrisy and pro-abuse and pro authoritarian messaging of the narrative severely undermines the story. Even if they at a later state are like "Omg the TVA is evil actually" it will feel silly to me because yeah, we know.

I do think Loki will end up defying the space lizards and rewriting his fate somehow but I don't expect characters like Mobius to have to ever face any accountability in the narrative. And yeah it's really sad. I adore Loki's character (not a big fan of TV!Loki but I liked original Loki) and I truly think a show about him could've been a flagship show for Disney+. I mean look how much audiences loved Tyrion. And he and Loki have a lot of commonalities. What a waste.
