Lyall Lupin - Tumblr Posts
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
So, Harry Potter universe eras:
4. (Most recent) next gen era w/albus potter, scorpius malfoy, etc
3. Golden trio era, the one the main franchise is set in
2. Marauders era, best era, 10/10
1. What are we calling this era that is suddenly coming to light? Riddle’s era doesn’t really sound right to me, but that’s the only answer I’ve gotten on this

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.
sick and tired and sick and tired and sick and tired and sick and tired of lyall being a bad bad
Playing with world politics on werewolfs.
Vampires are a little bit more favored than werewolves in Europe, they have rights and candies just made for them. And people don't generally go on hunting them.
In Central Asia it's reverse. Werewolves are more protected there are programmes for full moons etc etc because Wolwes are sacred there. But they HATE vampires.
The reason why Remus couldn't go to their school, 1-) Shamans do exclusively dark/old magic and Lyall didn't want to send him there 2-) They don't accept outsiders, people who are not from their community. Their community contains muggles too because them marrying muggles are more accepted than marrying a wizard who aren't from their community and they don't throw out their squibs so there are no "muggle-borns".
Fenrir Greyback when he discovered Lyall’s kid was named Remus Lupin:
