I’m Sorry If It Came Across As Defensive, I Didn’t Mean It That Way. I Suppose I Misinterpreted Your

i have always been a Romulus Lupin truther!! I'm like you where I don't really like ocs if they impact the main plot but i make this once exception. Idk if it's my major bias towards Remus but he just doesn't seem like an only child to me and I think Hope and Lyall would've had more kids if Greyback never happened

I've seen a few hcs once that Romulus did exist but Remus killed him during a full moon before he joined Hogwarts so he never talks about him. Personally I go completely off of cannon in this instant and hc him to be six years older then Remus (im just a sucker for siblings) and he dies with Hope during the first war

I love your post on the possibilities of him sm, everything you said makes such perfect sense and it's just so heartbreaking to think of Remus having a twin brother who gets to be all the things he can't

You’re so real for the Romulus being older than Remus thing! Remus gives off such younger sibling vibes. On the topic of that, our Moony is definitely the younger twin. He’s definitely not older. They would definitely have had siblings if Greyback didn’t get involved, I think.

That headcanon that Remus killed him is wild. That would never happen. Hope and Lyall were so careful about it that’s it’s just kind of ludicrous. Him dying with Hope in the war definitely sounds much more plausible than a lot of the other Remus-has-a-brother things I’ve seen around.

I’m a sucker for angst, lol. I feel like they would both have a long few years of deep resentment, probably spurred on by going to Hogwarts and being treated the same by staff, then coming back home to the unbalanced treatment. They get along really well pre-Hogwarts, but things change and they grow more and more distant.

They end up working it out after Regulus dies, because it makes Remus realize that the possibility of losing a family member is very, very real, and he doesn’t want to end up like Sirius and his brother. Then they meet up, talk it through, and Romulus and Hope die like a year later. That got way darker than intended but y’know.

On more kids if Greyback didn’t happen, though: I think that Hope and Lyall were not only too busy with Remus, but also afraid of Greyback coming back for more. Although, Remus’ condition would take up a lot of time. I do think they’d have younger cousins, though (I have Remus’ whole family tree planned out in my head).

Lazy ahh art but the point still stands

Ugh here’s some art I posted on my deleted account I guess? I love these babs

Remus needs a cane to walk and Sirius carries him around when his legs/hips/back start hurting argue with the wall

Entirely correct, full marks!

more sirius black headcanons <3

hates being photographed but has a few old polaroids of him, mostly blurry shots of the marauders and one of himself laughing that he can’t bring himself to throw away

always smells like cigarette smoke, leather, and the faintest trace of something musky, like old cologne he barely remembers putting on

has a habit of flicking his lighter open and closed

picks at his nails constantly but keeps his hands clean, especially because of his tattoo work. his fingers are often stained with ink, though, and they always smell like nicotine

can fall asleep literally anywhere: on the floor, the couch. insomnia hits hard sometimes, so when he crashes, he crashes

reads poetry when he can’t sleep, the darker and messier the better—plath, bukowski, rimbaud. underlines lines that hit too close to home

collects random trinkets

hums under his breath without realizing—usually old rock songs or whatever tune is stuck in his head

terrified of hospitals. the sterile smell, the quiet—it all feels too close to the worst parts of his past

taps his rings against hard surfaces when he’s agitated, a rhythmic clink that drives people around him a little crazy

gets restless if he’s in one place too long—needs to be moving, even if it’s just pacing the room or fidgeting

rarely cries, but when he does, it’s silent and overwhelming, like he’s been holding it in for too long

knows the places he’s lived in better than most, could tell you where every hidden alley or late-night diner is, even the ones no one else seems to know exist

fiercely protective of his friends—would walk through fire for them without thinking twice

feels most alive when it’s late at night, the streets empty, cigarette in hand, music playing low in his ears

broke into his own flat more times than he can count because he loses his keys

keeps fostering pets

bites his lip when he’s trying not to cry so hard he’s drawn blood before

hates being told to calm down. it makes him immediately more defiant

always the one to suggest risky ideas—sneaking into closed places, midnight drives with no destination, climbing rooftops just for the view

his flat is a mess, but the chaos feels lived in, not dirty

fears being forgotten, like he never existed. he’s not scared of dying, though

has a scar on his knee from crashing his motorbike once

rolls his own cigarettes most of the time

awkward with affection, both giving and receiving

knows exactly how to break into places but rarely does—except when he gets really bad

can’t handle feeling trapped—needs windows open, needs space, hates locked doors

tall

Perfect! I suppose I’m in a sensitive mood today. And, for the record, I agree that Remus would never cry in public but I think he’d definitely cry on Sirius the second they get into private, lol.

Remus John Lupin is a dorky nerd in tweed and cardigans who is only strong enough to carry books around, and lets everyone walk all over him, and cries when people go on discriminatory tangents about werewolves/queer people, and makes Sirius help him study, and folds his underwear/socks, and drowns in jumpers that are too big because he’s so skinny that he has to choose between them being long enough or tight enough, and he’s always cold, and he has back joint/back pain, and has a snort-laugh, and a little overbite you can only see when he smiles, and his clothes have elbow/knee patches, and he never gets angry because he’s so scared of being a monster

How many words does a oneshot need to be before it stops being a oneshot bc we’re currently at 19k and I still have more to add :/

Dad bod James Potter in this or something adjacent please???

So real of you

Remus Lupin doesn’t manspread, he sits with his legs crossed like a good little gay boy. Sirius Black manspreads.
