Remus and Sirius recognize a feeling of “I have something rotten in my core” in each other. That’s what rejection from a parent, coming from a line of cruel bloodpurists and being stigmatized as a werewolf does. That’s why Remus can forgive the prank, that’s why they are both instinctively ready to kill Peter together.
As Harry says James would not, that shared understanding is what sets their connection apart. However, it’s also their downfall because a feeling that wrapped up in internalized shame is easily manipulated by the war/Peter.
There is no universe in which Sirius chooses anyone over James. That’s not even up to consideration, James is his safe haven and soulmate. Let’s also not forget that it was James who risked his life for Remus during the prank, who financially supported him when he couldn’t find work, who did not distrust him as it would be the height of dishonour.
This doesn’t negate or diminish Sirius and Remus’ relationship but yes, they would both choose James first. They already have before. That’s not an idealization of James, it’s how pivotal he is to their characters. Sirius and Remus’ capacity to love and be loved by James is the light they see within and how they love each other.

Thoroughly Thursday
(From Chapter 6 of Both Alike in Dignity, coming soon:)
“How’s it going with Lily?” Sirius asked, mostly to change the subject.He was not sure James would even want to hear what was on his mind.
James grinned and his cheeks reddened a little. “Good, I think.”
Sirius’s eyes widened. “James Potter, are you blushing? Now I need to know everything.”
James fidgeted with the hem of his jacket a bit. “I’m not sure there’s much to tell? We got together to work on our scenes and that went good…she sat next to me at the movie theater last night…I don’t know.”
“Did you make a move?” Sirius asked curiously. He was wondering if his own lack of action was normal. 
“I…not really. I didn’t want to…I don’t know, spook her?” James said, earnestly. “Like…I’m not sure if she want to…you know…”
“Make out with you?” Sirius supplied, hating that that was where his mind was. 
James chuckled. “Yeah, I guess.”
“I mean…it seems like she wants to hang out and stuff,” Sirius ventured, not sure they were still talking about Lily.

I will always love you.
I have this headcanon that one time, McGonagall caught Sirius and James in a prank. She called Effie and Fleamont this time because she didn't know what to do. They agreed that no punishment was enough for them. So they came up with another one.
"So, your punishment is..." McGonagall spoke with the hands on her hips "One week without the other"
"WHAT?"
"NO NO NO NO!"
"Mum! Dad!"
"That's your punishment, son" Fleamont said.
"Don't argue against it, boys" Euphemia added.
And then Sirius and James made puppy eyes and made pouts looking at each other.
And then James started speaking.
"Oh Sirius..."
"No!" Sirius protested.
"I think it is time for us to take some time...." James said with his voice breaking.
"No!" Sirius shook his head, with tears in his eyes.
"I am sorry..."
"For how long?"
"For how long?" James asked the adults.
The adults looked between each other.
"A week?" McGonagall suggested and the Potters agreed.
Both boys whined.
"Oh Sirius..." James grabbed his hands "This hurts me more than anything I've ever done"
"Oh James!" Sirius whined "What am I gonna do without you?"
"We will see each other again, okay?" James continued as Sirius fakely sobbed "And if you meet someone else, another best friend in the meantime..." James nodded "I would understand"
"No!" Sirius protested "I am never going to forget you. No one will be able to replace you"
"Do you boys realize it is only for a week?" Fleamont asked.
But the boys ignored him.
"I am going to miss you, my sweet sweet Sirius" James touched his cheek.
"I am going to miss you too" Sirius kissed James' hand.
The adults just observed them. Mcgonagall rolled her eyes.
"Don't cry... come here" and he pulled him into a hug "You are going to be my first. Always. My first best friend"
Sirius sniffed, nodding.
"I will always love you"
"Please don't leave me, James! I love you so much!"
"Okay... starting from now" Fleamont said as he dragged James to his feet.
Then James began singing to the lyrics of I will always love you by Whitney Houston, while he was being "dragged" by Fleamont, extending his arm towards Sirius. Sirius joined him in the singing, trying to reach his arm.
"SIRIUS!" James cried from the entrance.
"JAMES!" Sirius cried as well.
"Don't you think that was a bit too harsh, Minerva?" Effie finally asked, watching how Sirius dramatically crumbled to the floor and pretended to sob.
But Minerva shrugged "They'll get over it"

for @wolfstarmicrofic nurture, based on a prompt from @impishtubist 🫶🏻
~
“Hey, Pads - isn’t that your ex?”
Sirius extricated himself from Remus’s neck where he was currently murmuring in his ear and snapped his head round to James, who was sporting a gleeful grin.
“What?”
“Ex?” Lily said in surprise. “Who in the world else have you dated?”
“That delightful young woman over there,” James said, thoroughly enjoying himself.
They all looked over in the direction of his gaze to see a pale, elegant woman with a sharp jawline and glossy dark hair pulled back in a tight bun standing by the bar, tapping her fingernails absentmindedly on the wood as she waited to be served.
“No, Potter, don’t try and pull one over,” Lily said, shaking her head. “I’m not buying it.”
“Evans I’m serious,” James told her earnestly. “Pads dated her back in fourth year.”
“Yeah, alright. Sirius dated a ridiculously attractive woman who looks like she’d step on you, and you’d be grateful.”
“Yup,” James said cheerily. “He was nurturing quite the crush on Moony at the time, of course. A little attempt at deflection if I recall, eh Pads?”
“Would you fuck off,” Sirius muttered, currently trying to disappear as far down in his seat as possible.
“Roslyn!” James called out.
“Prongs are you fucking kidding me!”
“Fancy seeing you here!” James beamed, waving across the pub.
Roslyn looked round in surprise and caught sight of James. Her eyes ran over the rest of the group and she seemed to freeze, desperately searching for a way to escape, before giving an awkward smile and conceding to her fate.
“Pads, it, er, looks like she’s coming over,” Remus told him, smirking into his drink.
“James, hi,” Roslyn said, clutching a glass of red wine. “Hi Remus. And I’m sorry, I don’t know your name?”
“It’s Lily.”
Roslyn shook the outstretched hand offered to her, and then her gaze fixed on the large mound of black fur nestled next to Remus.
“Oh, is that a dog?”
“It is indeed,” smiled Remus, his eyes twinkling. “He’s a little skittish today, I’m sorry. Just wants to hide away. He can be a bit of a coward sometimes.”
Padfoot growled.
“Oh!” Roslyn said in surprise. “Oh, okay. Well, I’ve got to head out to the garden - my girlfriend’s waiting for me.”
“Fantastic,” grinned James. “Lovely to see you Roslyn.”
“Yes, wonderful,” she said forcefully. “Have a good evening.”
Lily smiled from under her palm as she tried to hold back her laughter, and Remus gave an awkward half-wave. They managed to keep it together until Roslyn was safely outside, then the three burst into hysterics.
“You absolute fucking devil, Prongs,” Sirius said murderously.

It's crazy that people still uphold show!Sansa as a well-written character and pretend that liking her is the pinnacle of feminism when it would be infinitely more impactful to acknowledge her terrible and misogynistic writing. This is the same character who, while written by two men, was thankful for the abuse she suffered because it allowed her to grow. The same character who we had to be told was smart because the writers were too lazy to develop or show her intelligence. The same character who had to rely heavily on the men surrounding her and ended up accomplishing nothing on her own merit ( and no, thinking that she deserved to be Queen doesn't mean that she earned it). She is not well-written, she is not complex, and she is not a feminist character. Which is fine! If you enjoy her then good on you, but please stop pretending that she's something she isn't just because you feel the need to justify liking her character
#anti got#anti d&d#anti show sansa#anti sansa stans#like literally one of the worst written characters on that show because they tried so hard to make her the most important#while being entirely incompetent and their only method of doing so was to steal from other characters which ruined the plot#the only arguable achievement was defeating LF but even then it's written in the script that she had to go to Bran to explain things#/she rallied the Vale army!/ no she didn't 😭 she wrote a letter to LF and he did everything. instead of showing her arc in the Vale and#her learning about politics to rally them herself they took the quickest route to give her a /badass/ savior scene#which only ended up making her look selfish + power-hungry for putting her brothers' lives at risk for not telling anybody about said lette#and idiotic in the aftermath after relying once again on LF even though he was very obviously manipulating her#/pawn to player/ sounds catchy on paper but without seeing that growth/development it doesn't work#Arya was terribly written but at least we /saw/ her training in a way we never did with Sansa#and people try to apply this same logic to the books and think she's gonna suddenly spring forth as a political mastermind#when that's not how George writes...we see characters develop and make mistakes on page and get actual earned growth#feminism isn't defending the writing of two men who gave her a rape plot not in the books because they thought it was /interesting/#when the only aspect of that plot they adapted was a woman suffering abuse :/#and as per usual with stansas their only /evidence/ of her being well-written is accusing you of being misogynistic if you don't like her

married firstprince au set 10ish years in the future where alex is a victim of an assassination attempt while him and henry are apart and the absolutely heartstopping, bone crushing fear when henry gets the call........ bonus points if they were in the middle of a fight at the time............. hold on. i'm throwing up on myself....
#GOD. Everyone shut up okay just shut up#Henry just doing his thing minding his business#fighting the everlooming stress of the fact that it's been six days since he's seen his husband#and the last time he saw him they were hurling biting words and insults at each other#(something they agreed to never do since they got married)#and he's already not sleeping because he can't sleep without Alex#so he's a bit miserable.#But then Shaan comes to him one morning and he KNOWS#The minute he looks at his face he feels his heart fucking drop down to his stomach#and he's just like 'tell me he's not dead. tell me'#and Shaan is like 'he's not but it's bad. We need to go'#So the whole flight Henry's just sat there torturing himself over every horrible word he's ever said to ALEX#of all people. It's stupid. The whole fight was stupid and none of it matters because the love of his life might be fucking#dead by the time he gets to the hospital. Anyways. Alex is in surgery again when he gets there#and he has to wait another EIGHT hours just for a doctor to come out and tell him Alex is fine it was touch and go for a minute there#but he really doesn't hear anything beyond 'Alex is fine.'#Anyways when Henry sees his husband he crawls into bed beside him (careful not to hurt him of course) and just holds him#(and cries softly because he's just had the worst twenty-four hours of his life)#and he's still holding him when Alex wakes up and the first words out of his mouth are 'hey baby' and that's when Henry really loses it#Alex drifts back off to sleep (not without mumbling a sleepy apology and an I love you)#but when he wakes up#they talk and Alex is just like 'I was so fucking scared I would hurt you the way your dad did' and Henry is like#'what do you mean sweetheart?' and Alex is like 'i don't want you to know the pain of losing me i don't want to do that to you'#which nearly sends them BOTH over the edge and it's all very tender and sweet.#Anyways then they make out and fall asleep together in the hospital bed#and it's the best sleep Henry has had in days.#the end#future wips#fandom: rwrb

do you ship prongsfoot
i’m devastated by the love between them but they could kiss with tongue for 5 hours and it still wouldn’t feel romantic to me
calling it platonic is also inadequate though, i genuinely do believe that they’re soulmates

"ur repressed" okay well have u even considered that emotions r purposeless and only serve to cause harm to those around u and I have achieved a unique transcendent state beyond them. have u considered that
#joking but like. am I wrong though#yeah no one is able to overcome the inherent human flaw of emotion and anyone who thinks they can is in fact mentally unwell#except for me I'm built different I have actually managed to transcend emotion. this is a good thing and not a problem#I saw my father's anger and my mother's discontent and my brother's self loathing and my friend's yearning.#and I saw how it only made everyone more unhappy. and I decided I would be above them all and never let my emotions rule me.#I was scared of the dark until I realized that fear wasn't useful to feel. so I stopped feeling it#this is a good thing and I am a paragon of mental health I think#mmm alternatively I was made to play mediator in a family of traumatized ppl and learned to repress my emotions to the point of dysfunction#but I prefer to think I'm enlightened and have no problems. this is fine and will not blow up in my face#anyways. just now realizing that this might stem from my childhood. oops#also realizing that I'm probably not aro and I just learned to turn off romantic attraction bc I saw how miserable it made my friend??#well. I still don't experience romantic attraction. but probably I should and I will if I ever sort out this repression thing. whoopsie#really she was ready to kill herself over some white guy and I looked at that and was like. nope. I'm never stooping to that level#mm might not help that my parents never loved each other and I never had a healthy romantic relationship modeled for me as a child#but still like really like what is the point. of having emotions. they're just not useful#oh hurr durr I'm angry at my friends for talking over a tv show. there is no way to act on this without damaging ppl and relationships#ohh I'm in love with this guy who will never love me back. THERE IS NO PRODUCTIVE WAY TO ACT ON THIS#literally emotions can only be destructive and I'm a better person for opting out of them#there are no downsides to being repressed! I can still feel positive emotions. I'm happy sometimes. sometimes I'm excited. it's fine#guy who is Unpacking Things live on ur dash. sorry#narcissus's echoes#vent

i keep thinking about how “is this what justice means to you, answer me neuvillette”, despite having been used in a case all those hundred of years ago, was probably a question that haunted - and still haunts - neuvilette during the entire time he has been chief of justice. i keep thinking about how they highlighted his struggles through time with both carole and wriothesley's trials. how guilty and powerless neuvillette must have felt for not being able to support and save those he recognised as vulnerable and victims before a system that corrupted their fates but that he wasn't able to change despite his position. the theme of being a casualty of a system no matter if you're the victim or the perpetrator in its eyes. the way neuvillette took, in both cases, things into his own hands. even if it was too late to fix the hurting carole and those who cared for her went through, even if it was too late to save her life; even if it was impossible to change wriothesley's past, his verdict and subsequent imprisonment; neuvillette went above and beyond, making use of his influence, to allow both melusines and wriothesley the opportunity of a better future - to melusines by making sure they weren't discriminated, to wriothesley by supporting his attempt at a second chance in life. i think part of the reason he's so intriguing is our awareness that this internal conflict he's bound to have is so complex. you have a chief of justice, or a judge, that is supposed to be imparcial and follow the law stictly confronted with situations of social injustice, unable to protect those who rely on him. you have someone who understands better than anyone what it means to be an outcast, being able to relate to those who are ostracised and have their pain weaponise against them. you have, in vautrin's case, a friend who cannot even showcase his own pain and is still expected to fullfil his juridical duties despite being personally related with those involved in the case. someone who people constantly turn to but whom he feels like he has no right to turn to himself. it's about the conflict between his feelings and his duty, between what's expected of him and what he can actually do. i think that's why the end of his story quest is so emotional and why it's so heartwarming to have him realise he isn't an outcast anymore, that he has a community there for him too. because a system is a system and he will probably never be able to save everyone, because yes he isn't human, but it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to belong or that an active demonstration of love towards individuals and people he can relate to rather than the theoretical concept of humanity isn't meaningful. in fact, i'd it's a lot about that, about finding ways to be kind and how community gives meaning to life; how personal relationships and targeted kindness can shape society, or at least i think so
#i don't know if this makes sense but i like how character's stories in fontaine are interconnected in the perfect way that they're used to#give depth to each other while also existing perfectly independently#i forgot to add navia's story to the post but that's also another scenario used to characterise neuvillette#the same way wriothesley's backstory exists independently but it's also used to give depth into neuvillette's character and his motivations#the same way navia and clorinde's probably will as well#i always headcanoned (is that a verb 😂) neuvillette and wrio's friendship stemming from neuvillette trying to atone to his silence during#wrio's trial. i think it makes sense. i think it probably meant a lot to wrio too to have someone be so trustworthy after everything he#went through the betrayal from his adoptive family and his only aid through his life being the melusines who aren't human#and neuvillette being that sort of comforting older figure especially probably feels familiar to wrio#i have no idea what i'm trying to say actually i have a big headache at the moment and i feel almost delirious but i just love the concept#of neuvillette as a character and i think a lot about his friendship with wriothesley how it began and the grief and guilt neuvillette#probably still carries#but also about how he also gets the chance to a brighter future and how he achieves it so naturally without even realising#how he never expected anything from his compassion even if he saw it as duty and didn't interpret his own kindness as anything other than#his own responsabilty towards others#like idk am i making sense???#he's just so cool 😂#like yeah there's a layer of there's no reason he would have any animotisity towards humans because they're not at fault for the primordial#one's actions but from that to actually actively being so empathetic and compassionate goes a bit of a long way?!#okay i'm over i'll shut up this is probably si confusing i apologise if anyone read this mess shsjhs#this is also influenced by my tbk brainrot because loving others actively is a big theme and i just think that's beautiful actually#genshin thoughts#genshin impact#my post

can i ask why you don't like xingyun? /gen not a shipper myself but i'm just curious since a lot of chongyun lovers love that ship, i've never seen anyone NOT like it
rant warning by the way, I accidentally got more and more annoyed writing this 😬
im gonna be honest the number one reason is because i see it everywhere
the first effect of this is that content depicting xingqiu and chongyun in a nonromantic manner get tagged as xing/yun, which is annoying to me. you can draw 2 characters together in a nonromantic manner and you don't have to tag the ship guys. it's real it's called being friends. the second effect is that there's never any content with chongyun and Other Characters. people are so hung up on him and xingqiu that chongyun almost never exists without xingqiu. like you might notice i have a tag for chongyun and hu tao (mostly platonic) stuff except that there are only 7-8 posts tagged with that, because although the "exorcist and girl who can see ghosts" dynamic would be so cool, nobody seems to think abt that bc almost everything with chongyun includes xingqiu. this also goes for chongyun and xiangling (who canonically makes him his cooling popsicles) and like random other characters whom he Could interact with and be friends with (ayaka and him is a crack friendship i talked about once, and ofc chongyun and xiao). i hate it. xingqiu got his mr worldwide arc with venti and albedo please depict chongyun alone with other friends (it literally doesn't even have to be romantic). of course, this might just be a separate problem that I'm conflating with the ship, but it annoys me. i'm not focusing on xingqiu's side because although fan content for like idk him and yun jin? him and hu tao? albedo? is also super rare, at least that stuff exists in canon.
the second reason is because xingqiu's prankster attitude towards chongyun annoys me
yeah i love my little shit son but idk, it's just annoying when people make him feed chongyun spicy food, play pranks on him that cost chongyun Something (losing face, wasted time, frustration) idk. i guess i don't like that his condition isn't taken seriously. i don't think it's bad to have friends who pull your leg but at least not in a malicious way? like iirc he's implied to have triggered chongyun's yang energy overflows at least a couple times, and it's like . why. why is it played for jokes the kid literally passes out. "(He) needs more practice. Especially… with eating spicy food, haha." bro please do not !! don't trigger his condition just for kicks! xingqiu's other pranks also annoy me, given that i hate being tricked, so some of this might be projection or smth idk, but like idk you can give him good suggestions for where to demon hunt instead of making up shit and then going after him to make up for any costs. it's just annoying i think chongyun gets annoyed but then later forgives him, as friends are, but i cannot imagine them getting together like this. unless it's toxic idk . if they're friends i can give a pass to the pranks and stuff but in a romantic relationship i don't think i could see this kind of dynamic being a good one
