THANK YOU!! this is exactly what i was looking for, they were just trying their best but they absolutely adored that little boy

i feel like at some point everyone just started making hope and lyall out to be bad parents and idk if i like or agree with that. how do you think they were as parents to remus??

OKAY SO I AM SO PASSIONATELY AGAINST THIS RHETORIC. it is me and holyall against the worls od fanfics that characterise them as bad parents.

they were the good parents. and sure they had their flaws, but all parents do.

i think remus grew up in north wales, probably somewhere near llandudno but not actually in the town. hope worked as a teacher part-time in one of the local secondary schools and if remus hadn’t been accepted into hogwarts, she would’ve probably ended up being his english teacher. every friday remus would come home from primary school to freshly baked challah that hope would bake for each shabbos and every sunday she’d make french toast with the left over challah for breakfast (challah french toast is superior). lyall did his best too, he would take remus to the park whenever remus asked, would let him stay up to watch tv or listen to music, and the two of them did their best to spoil him with the little money they did have, although they were quite tight most of the time.

they’d go on camping holidays where they’d hike and swim and have a camp fire. hope is the driver of the family and refuses to use magic to travel anywhere, and lyall agrees every time. they’re constantly listening to music in the car together, the three of them adore music, they’re always singing and messing around with goofy impressions of whoever the singer of the song they’re listening to is.

after full moons, hope would always make remus chicken broth and lyall would do his best to heal remus’ wounds with magic (although he was never the best with medical spells) and they’d do everything they could to make remus feel safe, loved, and secure although lyall’s guilt would be eating him alive every time the full moon happened.

as remus got older and wanted more independence, they started to clash a bit, they were always protective of him after greyback bit him, but they always eventually work through whatever shit they have going on this time. and when remus realises he’s gay, he’s still worried about them not supporting him but they only care for his happiness, not whether or not he’s with a girl or boy

Good dad lyall lupin is wonderful and lovely but consider: lyall has siblings, and parents, and there are cousins that are older than remus. So. Good family lupin. Remus goes to vacation with his magical family. His aunts and uncles help him with stupid government stuff. His cousins invite him to dinners when he's low on money. His grandparents collect furniture for his first own flat. His family comes over when he doesnt have the energy to do anything. Just. Remus with a small but strong security net. Which he doesnt always know to hold. Not all of them know what's going on with him, just that he's sick but that's enough.

rj lupin rings his ma during his first year like 'and i had to turn a rat into a goblet today' n hope's like 'what the everloving fuck for?' he rings her during exam prep like 'and i just know im gonna forget the difference between a thingamajjg n a whatsitcalled' n hope's like 'wow yes that does sound complicated.. ill light a candle.' n after career day rj lupin rings her up like 'maybe ill just find a nice boring muggle gig' n hopes like 'no you dont, ur gonna be brave n make all the work worth it.' and hope shares her village gossip ('but ofc that's none of my business') and they end the call every single time w 'righttt. well i'll let u get on ma.' and 'bye bye bye byebyebyebyebye..'

My personal opinion of Remus’ parents:

Lyall: a werewolf hating bigot that “left to buy milk and never came back” one day like a year after Remus was bitten.

Hope: loml, did her absolute best to help Remus and is The Best

2 in the morning…

Sirius (answering the phone): Hello?

Hope: Sirius?

Sirius: Hope? What are you doing up?

Hope: Today when I told you to stop licking the batter from the whisk you looked sort of like a kicked puppy.

Sirius: What

Hope: I don’t mean to pry but…

Sirius: Yeah?

Hope: Sirius, dear, did you get traumatized in some way as a child?

Sirius: WHAT

Hope: Was it your parents?

Sirius: …yes

Hope: Do you want to talk about it?

Sirius: …

Sirius (voice breaking): YeAh that’d be reALy nice aCTually-

Excerpt from my new upcoming fanfic so when i FINALLY post it people will read it hehe

" His mother was going to forget magic. And him being a werewolf. And everything that had shaped his relationship with her. Because that was what shaped their relationship wasn’t it? They had bonded about being different in both worlds ; muggle and magic. She’d helped him every month and comforted him and told him she'd promised him that she wouldn’t have him any other way. But she was now, wasn’t she? Because now she wouldn’t remember anything correctly. He was just going to be sick. She wouldn’t understand anything correctly. Because he was a monster, and she wouldn’t understand if he told her that. Because he just a perfectly normal muggle illness that didn’t affect people’s opinions of him in any way at all. "
