Just to be met with the fact that hes not. Its not gone away, and its not going to go away unless he throws himself back into the battle it feels like hes been facing his entire life. The reality that the freedom he thinks hes feeling is just an illusion. And his inability to accept it, wanting to hold onto the illusion that he can have dun and be free from all this for a little longer. He made it out in one piece and its over now.

But as things get worse and worse around him hes forced to come to terms with the fact this is bigger than him and his independent feelings, bigger than his comfort. That by running away and choosing not to face it, hes turning a blind eye and letting evil fester and grow. That its not fair. None of it is. But that fair doesnt matter, and that he needs to sacrifice his insecurities, fears, and desires for the bigger picture. That despite how awful everything he went through was, he still has a mindset that was forged from privilege and that growing past that will be difficult, and ugly, and unfair.

But if he doesn't he's no better than the rest his family.

I so badly want to capture the awkward, messy, non linear acceptance of this. To capture the flaws in his mindset and his actions, and to not let him just be some hero who knew that it was his duty to put himself on the line for the greater good straight away. To show that he wasnt always as heroic as he'd eventually become, and that knowing whats wrong with the world doesnt instantly teach you how to mobilise against it, and that he has to take the responsibility to unlearn his privileges and learn to channel his anger towards something greater than himself.

But i struggled like hell to just try and put the idea into words here, I have no clue how I'm gonna capture that in a story lol

And it follows Remus as he battles with trying to decide what he wants to do with the rest of his life, not having a particular role hes passionate for in the world of magic, but feeling like its the only place that will come close to accepting him as a wizard. Being told by everyone around him how much potential he shows, but not feeling like he has any direction for it. Spending his gap year with an over enthusiastic Sirius.

And Sirius whos recently become obsessed with a new underground band he's discovered, and being entranced by the feeling of freedom from his family and having something he thinks he can truly call his *own* in the shape of this new band. Romanticizing the idea of a quiet muggle life throughout, openly rejecting everyones preconceived notions of what he *should* do with himself in order to finally be able to carve a destiny of his own. Trying to share his passion with Remus in hopes that they can share in together because he has been YEARNING for Remus for years and sees nothing more intimate than opening his interest that he holds so close to his heart to him so they can share in the experience together.

I’m so sick of slutshaming being repackaged as feminism. Ive seen so many people hate on Pop girls like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappel Roan for “over sexualising themselves” when in reality its just discomfort at women having and using their sexual autonomy.

There are genuine discussions to be had about situations like Sydney Sweeney who is doing a right wing grift and portraying herself as a sexual object for the appeal of conservative men. But that is an entirely different situation to….let me check….Sabrina Carpenter making tongue in cheek jokes and….her and Chappel wearing revealing clothing….?

And it annoys me that genuine feminist language and talking points are being coopted to spread the complete opposite message, to push conservative values and harmful values about women. To act as though a woman Making (honestly lightly) sexual jokes “degrades” her as a woman IS SLUTSHAMING, To call a woman disgusting for showing her boobs IS SLUTSHAMING!! Just because you pathologise it behind feminist buzzwords and talking points doesnt change that fact.

And I’m so tired of this trend, actually effective talking points and terminologies are coopted and used to push the opposite harmful narrative. It happens so often and the words and tools are defanged and recontextualised, pushing down the voices of the people who use them correctly to re-establish the status quo that these words and terminologies were created to deconstruct and take apart.

……butttt I do feel a little cheated that they promised proper development and exploration of his bisexuality and so far (episode two) theyre yet to even have him DISCUSS it. Theyve put him with two men in very very brief scenes between seasons, and set up that there would be some turmoil for it….has that happened?? Nope!

I am only two episodes into season four though so it could very well happen a bit later, but this had me wondering for an au…

Genderbent Sophie Au… now hear me out. A male sophie who CROSS DRESSED to get into the ball which makes Benedicts hunt for her all the more difficult, and faces both of them with the turmoil pf having fallen in love with someone outside of their class bracket, with Sophie being illegitimate AND also the second born Bridgerton being a rake AND a homosexual. And them ot would also tie into the feelings that Francesca is having and we could see more of the depths of her and Benedicts relationships and differing perspectives on the queer experience in history.
