Girldad Rosekiller vs. Girldad Wolfstar: Selling Girl Scout Cookies

(Yes I'm aware the Girl Scouts are an American thing. Indulge me.)

Rosekiller:

They aren't so much "selling" the cookies, as they are threatening people to buy them in support of their daughter "Or else".

Some Dude: "Nah, sorry man, but I gotta sell my own kid's cookies." Barty, pulling a knife out of fucking nowhere: "You'll buy the damn cookies or the only thing you'll be selling is your own severed hands."

Short, Sweet, and highly effective.

Wolfstar:

They have a whole plan. They used to just go to James first because this man will just buy every single one of those fucking cookies with no buyer's remorse, but Regulus has a firm ban on allowing any more than 3 boxes in the house at any given moment because they just had palets of the damned things sitting in their cupboard and now he gets physically ill at the very thought of anything other than thin mints.

So instead, Remus has a sale plan that he and Sirius created. It lays out the best locations, and with their encouragement, their daughter is very easily one of the best salespeople in the business.

Sounds normal right?

Wrong.

Because even a well-thought-out plan can be somewhat derailed based on Sirius's influence alone.

Let me set the scene:

[[On a sale day, Sirius and their daughter are sitting at the breakfast table before Remus wakes up. Sirius drinks some bougie iced espresso drink he made, and she has a plate of smiley-face pancakes out in front of her.]] Sirius: "So what do you say when someone starts to walk close to the table?" Their daughter, smiling up at him: "Hello, would you like to buy some cookies?" Sirius, nodding: "Good. Now, what do you say when they say no?" Their daughter: "Please sir, my mum just died of cancer." Sirius, grinning proudly: "That's my girl." Remus, having just walked into the kitchen, his hair a mess, and his jumper hiked up due to the hand scratching an itch on his stomach: "Please tell me that you did not teach our daughter to use Cancer as a sales tactic..." Sirius: "Of course I did! It's brilliant!" *She raises her hand from her seat* Remus, with a soft sigh: "Yes, Angel?" Her: "But I have two dads. I never knew my mom." Sirius: "Ah, but that's the trick, Darling." *He pokes her nose.* "Sales is all about the blatant exploitation of other people's emotions in order to make a profit." *looking to Remus* "Tell me I'm wrong." *Remus breathes out a resigned laugh and shakes his head incredulously* Remus: "It's the fact that I genuinely can't that upsets me the most..."

Is Tara doing okay?

Tara is on an indefinite Tumblr break but I talk to her daily. She’s an amazing person, mom, and friend and deserves nothing but love and support.

Unfortunately a lot of content creators across the fandom are taking indefinite breaks because of how toxic parts of this fandom have become and it’s disturbing and so wrong. We used to be one of the safest corners of this fandom with nothing but love, encouragement, and support and last year the toxicity exploded and it sucks. It sucks it’s still happening and people are still supporting the toxic behavior and that it’s driven out some fantastic people who produce some amazing content.

I’m going to say this once and I’m not going to repeat it again or answer any of the asks that have come in my inbox about the negativity. I see them, but I won’t add to any of the drama or toxicity or become involved in any way other than what I’m about to say. I’m done with drama and want this to be a safe place again for all content creators, readers, and everyone who loves the Wolfstar fandom and ship.

Our ship is not canon as much as we wish it was. All head canons are valid whether you agree with them or not. Your personal head canons don’t have to mesh with anyone else’s for you to respect them and their right for everyone to have their own. Knocking or being rude or discrediting anyone else’s head canons is wrong and is gate-keeping. No one holds the ultimate head canon about fictional characters or gets to decide which versions of a character are right or wrong. It’s called fan fiction or fan art for a reason; it’s the fan’s version of these characters. I have said this same exact thing since I joined this fandom years ago and I have never once wavered from it. I have my own personal head canons about the characters, but I have never and will never disrespect someone for holding a different characterization than mine. The diversity is what makes our corner of the fandom so amazing.

Can we please just go back to loving these characters and sharing that love in our many varied creations and being kind to one another? It’s such a simple thing to do.

Far too young to die

Pairing: Wolfstar Rating: E Tags: Aaaaaaangst. Heavy aaaaaaangst, ambiguous ending, I’d even say mostly unhappy ending, because it follows cannon... Summary: The crown rests heavy on his head tonight *Special thanks to @letsdothepanic for the quick beta <3* Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21513067

Or read it below...

I've never so adored you I'm twisting allegories now I want to complicate you Don't let me do this to myself I'm chasing roller coasters I've got to have you closer now Endless romantic stories You never could control me

Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight When the crown hangs heavy on either side Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die.

Far too young to die Far too young to die

Sirius ground his cigarette into the ashtray sitting on the table. The war was chasing their heels in a way that made him feel seven shades of restless. Each day brought something else: a new task from Dumbledore, an order member in peril, a letter that needed to be written, a potion brewed.

Every moment was a moment lived right on the edge, constantly in fear of falling into a dark abyss. They said that, in those darkest moments of complete uncertainty, many people decided to fight that fear with love.

Most couplings Sirius couldn’t care less about, though he was especially supportive of James and Lily when they wanted to get married. They were a true beacon of light in such a hard time, proving to almost anyone who looked their way that anything could be overcome.

Barely a couple months later they’d announced her pregnancy. Lily had been thrilled, as had most of their friends and family. James had been thrilled when in the spotlight, but Sirius would never forget the night he’d shown up at Sirius’ loft in London - hands shaking and looking as if he’d been pulling his hair out in all directions.

“Calm down mate. Just tell me what’s wrong?” Sirius had poured them both two fingers of the strongest thing he could find in his cabinets, then he’d offered the second low-ball glass to James.

“It’s the baby. I mean, how is this not the worst thing to happen, Padfoot? How are we supposed to deal with raising a baby in the middle of this war?!” James’ voice had taken on an edge of hysteria, so Sirius had nudged the hand holding the glass - in an attempt to encourage James to take a sip.

“Easy there Prongs. You’re thinking way too far into the future.”

“How can I not? It’s a baby! I’m going to be a dad!” James had groaned, taking a sip then bringing his head down between his knees.

“Exactly. And Lily is going to be a mum.” Sirius had crossed his legs before taking another sip.

James had paused and lifted his head, as if he’d only just remembered that little fact.

“She’s going to be a mum…” He’d murmured into the glass filled with amber liquid.

“Yeah, that’s right Prongs.” Sirius’d spoken a little condescendingly, as if he’d been speaking to a child rather than a grown man. “And have you wondered how she might be feeling? She’s going to have loads new hormones to contend with. And that’s not even talking about the new physical changes she’s going to have to deal with, that you don’t.”

James had narrowed his eyes and downed the rest of his drink - handing it back to a bemused Sirius - before stepping back through the floo, looking more determined than when he’d first arrived.

Sirius had rolled his eyes with an amused chuckle, knowing that although all their problems hadn’t been solved - at least James would sleep a little more easily tonight.

Fixation or psychosis? Devoted to neurosis now Endless romantic stories You never could control me

Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight When the crown hangs heavy on either side Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die.

Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight When the crown hangs heavy on either side Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die

Far too young to die Far too young to die

A scrap bit of parchment Sirius kept close by started to glow. Remus was trying to get in touch.

[12:29 P.M.] Moony I know it’s late

[12:29 P.M.] Moony Can I come over?

[12:31 P.M.] Padfoot Are you sure that’s a good idea?

[12:31 P.M.] Moony Probably not.

[12:32 P.M.] Moony But I’d rather take the chance and deal with the repercussions in the morning over missing my chance all together.

[12:35 P.M.] Padfoot I’m not going to say no. You know I couldn’t if I tried.

[12:37 P.M.] Moony I’m at the door.

Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight When the crown hangs heavy on either side Give me one last kiss while we're far too young to die.

They kissed as if the world was ending. And, for all they knew, tomorrow it could. They smashed their bodies into walls and counters, over tables and chairs, never quite making it to the bed, but not caring so long as there remained no space between them. Until the very air was thick with desperate panting, hearty grunts, and sweat.

Given the way people huddled in their homes, fear and panic as much an installation in every home as any appliance or furnishing, it was clear that they were in the very thick of war. And just like any war, there were people joining together as physically as could be, just to have a taste of something bigger than themselves—lest they never made it another day.

Tasting Remus was very much a thing out of Heaven itself. He was every ounce as breathtaking and enthusiastic as Sirius had imagined. If he was meant to have only one night, Sirius planned on making it the most memorable night they’d ever had. Even more so than James’ bachelor party.

And by the time the sun started to rise, nothing more than a shimmering hint of light trying to sneak between the open crevice of the curtains, Sirius felt like a new man. A man who could conquer mountains and beasts, maybe even the Dark Lord himself. With Remus at his side and in his bed, what couldn’t he do?

But when he opened his eyes, the bed was empty.

Remus had left in the night; Sirius wasn’t sure when, though there was a slip of paper on the pillow where his head had been.

Sirius,

I know I said I’d deal with the repercussions in the morning. As it turns out, I’m not as much of a brave Gryffindor as I’d thought.

You deserve the best of everything, Siri. I hope you understand that. But I can’t stay with you the way you want me to. We aren’t destined for a happily ever after, as much as I wish I could have been your Prince Charming.

There are things moving in the dark; Dumbledore keeps giving new orders and changing things up. I don’t know when the next time I’ll see you again will be… But I’m so glad that at least I have that one night to carry with me for the rest of my life, however long or short that may be. But you? You have way too much ahead of you. So many things you can do with your life, so much change you can affect.

I believe in you, Padfoot.

Yours always and forever,

Remus

Femslashing It Up 2k17

To start off 2017, let’s take a look at where femslash is at right now. Here’s the current number of fics for the top ten pairings on AO3:

Drarry: 20,358

Wolfstar: 9,183

Snarry: 7,914

Ronmione: 5,543

Hinny: 4,356

Jily: 4,065

Dramione: 3,953

Snape/Hermione: 2,280

Snape/Lupin: 2,111

Scorbus: 614

Note the complete lack of f/f pairings in the top ten. After clicking the f/f box, here are the stats:

Drarry: 512

Linny: 443

Ronmione: 353

Ginmione: 292

Hinny: 275

Wolfstar: 256

Pansmione: 238

Hermione/Luna: 167

Jily: 162

Fleur/Hermione: 97

So, um, yeah. The top “f/f” ship is Drarry, and only half the ships in the top ten are actually femslash pairings. Of all the fics in the HP fandom, only about 1/10 are femslash. So then we arrive at the question: why?

Common excuses reasons I hear for having so little femslash:

The protagonist is a guy, so it only makes sense that the top pairings include him. Yeah, true, but...they don’t. Seven pairings in the top ten don’t.

The fandom is full of straight girls fetishizing gay men. Fetishization is definitely a problem--in every fandom, not just HP. But it also isn’t a good reason for so little femslash. To start, generalizations like this are negative and damage fandom unity, pinning people against each other. Second, if the entire m/m category was fetishized smut for people to masturbate to, this might be the case. But...it’s not. There are thousands of meaningful, in-character m/m fics that people of every sexuality can enjoy, because fanfic isn’t just about sex (though that can be a major factor, and that’s okay, too!). It’s about reimagining canon and seeing your favorite characters face new situations and go on new adventures and fall in love and more. So if we can have non-fetishizing m/m fics, then we should be able to have f/f fics that meet the same criteria.

That stupid nonsense where people hate female characters that get in the way of m/m ships. Like??? Femslash solves this??? But so often it’s part of the reason there isn’t any. Think about it. Ginny doesn’t have to be the raging, jealous ex in the Harry/Draco equation. She can date Luna. Simple as that.

Femslash is never as well developed because the female characters are two-dimensional. Sure, female characters don’t interact with each other very often in Harry Potter, but in no way are they two-dimensional. Part of the magic of Harry Potter is that JKR develops even her side characters extraordinarily well. If that’s not being conveyed in f/f fanfic, then that’s our challenge--to bring JKR’s beautiful, dynamic characters to life.

Straight up sexism. There seems to be this idea that sex and relationships aren’t as meaningful or important if there isn’t a man involved. I don’t think this really needs an explanation--can we all agree that’s just...wrong? Cool? Cool.

Now that we’ve established the issue and rebutted the inhibitors of f/f pairings, let’s look at the reasons we should all contribute to the femslash revolution:

To get rid of the stereotype of objectification. Lots of the f/f out there is fetishized rubbish, and it gives sapphic women a bad name (remember when commotion with the lesbian tag? yeah me, too). By creating more realistic, meaningful femslash content, we can start changing those stereotypes and normalizing sapphic relationships. Yay!

vAriEty... Let’s make this simple. More pairings, more diversity, more fics, more content, more.

Equality, anyone? There’s so much sexism in the world without us contributing to it. Hermione wouldn’t stand for it. Ginny wouldn’t take this sitting down. (funny how those two expressions mean the same thing) Neither should the rest of us.

It’s awesome. Like seriously. Writing femslash. Reading femslash. Creating femslash art, aesthetics, headcanons. Viewing femslash art, aesthetics, headcanons. Amazing. 10/10. Would recommend.

Reminder: You don’t have to feel guilty for m/m pairings. My blog title is “Riddikulusly Drarry”--not going to judge. The purpose of this isn’t to keep you from shipping your otp. It’s to bring awareness to the lack of femslash and encourage the creation of more. We’re trying to lift f/f pairings up, not bring m/m down.

So...what now? We make it happen. Here are a few ways you can contribute:

Like and reblog this post to spread the word

Follow blogs supportive of or devoted to femslash (ie. @hpfemslashweek @femslasharmy @harrypotterfemslash @nymphadoravtonks and @ginnys to name a few) and reply with your personal favorites if ya like!

Read some femslash. Either you’ll be lucky and find some of the beautiful gems out there, or you’ll see why we need a revolution. Win-win.

Support creators of original femslash content by liking, reblogging, and following

Create your own femslash content! Write a fic. Draw some fanart. Make an aesthetic or a photo manip. Create headcanons or write a chat between characters. Write and record a song. Note: I track the tag #owlswithfins and I’d be happy to reblog any original content you create. Submissions are also open if your blog isn’t HP oriented.

It’s a new year, and we have the opportunity to make a difference. Like, reblog, and start femslashing it up!
