Let Them Be Silly - Tumblr Posts
They are the best of friends.
I think we need to stop making our favorite characters so cool- I love Sirius in tats and leather jackets and cool, sarcastic Remus- but one of them spent 12 years in a prison that eats your soul/happiness and more than that in a really abusive home and the other turns into a literal creature every month!!
Maybe I’ve spent too long on foursaints’ blog (I have) but, in my head, there’s no way they come out of that without being a little twitchy. Where are the fics where Sirius talks to himself out of habit from all the time he spent locked up alone (both in his childhood and Azkaban) and Remus randomly goes off into space in the middle of conversations.
Hell, have some fun with it: maybe Sirius talks shit about people to himself whenever he’s annoyed and they’re too freaked out by it to call him on it and sort of just sit there let it happen (eventually Sirius catches on to this and starts doing it on purpose). Let Remus zoom back into a conversation and go “Sorry, was just thinking about whether snakes can get arthritis”
Let them freak people out!!!
And why stop there? For how dreamy we say Pandora is, why isn’t she a maladaptive daydreamer? She would love living in a world of her creation where literally anything is possible. Give me Peter who makes weird jokes that people don’t get because the only friend he had growing up was James who already knew all his inside jokes and thought process, give me James who cries all the time and tells people EXACTLY what he thinks (not just the nice version) because he was always raised to be honest and no one ever made him feel bad for being himself
Let them be weird- sure the marauders were popular at some point but it’s definitely not like the whole school would’ve revered a bunch of 11 year-olds, maybe they were weird at first and then they grew up as they got used to other people. Maybe they were popular because they were a little weird, I mean, no one got famous being exactly like everyone else. They were pranksters? Well, madness and genius go hand-in-hand
More on this later because I won’t stop until everyone is as awkward as I am
Seeing so many people get so much shit just for being embarrassing- the way people will COME DOWN on everything somebody does just because whatever they do or say or make isn’t the hottest thing since Sabrina Carpenter.
If you don’t like something just ignore it!! Let people be cringe, because someone else will probably like it and having a go at someone for being different is as bad as all the bullying these same people got at school! It’s just stupid.
Jojo Siwa was mocked for months because she made a song people didn’t like??? She wanted try something different to the bow and rainbow brand that has been following her since she adopted it as a child and now she gets only hate in the comments of every post she makes.
Dylan Mulvaney was always considered so cool and iconic until she made Days of Girlhood and literally everyone hated her for it.
You don’t have to like everyone’s stuff but the queer community is meant to make everyone feel included and supported, not mock and exclude anyone who doesn’t fit the brand
