#(on that note why are all anti remus people snape fans??? i’m afraid of even tagging this anti remus

[padfootastic]

every time i read a fic where sirius (or james) feels like shit for suspecting remus to be a traitor but not remus feeling the same kind of guilt & shame for thinking the same of sirius (and letting him rot in azkaban for 12 years), my dislike for him rises a notch.

this is kind of what i mean by fanon perception because i run into so many fics with this with zero warning. nothing to indicate this is where it’d be going. and it isn’t even in like a—narrative sense? like, sirius being guilty is in character (and one could argue remus being a psychopathic little shit is as well) but it feels more like the author just fully believes that sirius was wrong for his opinions but not remus? that it was fine for him to think sirius was a traitor?

ugh.

#remus lupin critical #i hate how remus & sirius have different standards ascribed to them #like it’s fine for remus to have done everything he did and he gets off scot free with no judgement or consequences #but sirius suspecting him—in a time when he was probably being shady as fuck—is suddenly the worst thing ever? #and don’t even get me started on the wolfstar fics oh my god #the ones that just happily pick up post-poa as if nothing happened??. #maybe it’s just my personal opinion but i could never trust someone like remus ever again #both for the way he treated sirius and the way he just fkn fell off the face of the earth when it came to harry #like idek how sirius was able to look @ him without disgust #ugh i’m clearly in a rant-y mood today because i got ambushed by a fic like this #where sirius was oh so tortured that he thought remus was the traitor upon his death #‘oh i left him behind how could i’ #and it just reminded me all over again of how remus fkn lupin became the untouchable angel of the fandom somehow #this just makes me want to write out those absolute remus bash fest prompts i have in my notes lmao #for cathartic release purposes. and also because no one else is writing it so if i wanna read it i gotta do it myself #(on that note why are all anti remus people snape fans??? i’m afraid of even tagging this anti remus #because the entire tag is filled w those people and i don’t want to associate even tangentially w them) #pen’s whining
