WHAT IS THE SHAPE OF THIS PROBLEM? VIII of IX — LOUISE BOURGEOIS, 1999 [letterpress & lithograph | 12 × 17" (2)]

in berlin rn (when am i not)…….more berliner remus hcs? saw a variant of him on the u bahn the other day

ok good because ive been thinking about him 🫶 i have an ask somewhere in the drafts about modern au but

the things that our beautifully grumpy modern!remus would constantly bitch about (the general grime, the attitude, the like? random abandoned street furniture?) would be exactly the type of shit that little straßenratte remus would make a home out of in the 60/70s

his family is bavarian yes he was separated by the wall as a preteen etc etc but this matters bc i think he's like..... a massive poser?

you have to imagine this tiny farmboy drowning in a stolen men's xxl leather bomber very defensively trying to blend in at S036 and being so angry about it too

and he is hitting the schnauze EMBARRASSINGLY hard for the first year okay. he is producing the most aggressive "ICK" known to man

i get emotional thinking about the logistics of a little werewolf adopted by muggle teenage squatters & punks. they shove sozialistische deutsche studentenbund zines in his hands and spike his hair and he clomps around in hand-me-down boots three sizes too big

and yeah remus is a werewolf but i can't think of anyone more willing to deal with that than a codependent gaggle of self-proclaimed junkies who nurse friends through seizures and know all the abandoned factories to lock him up in?

and if he drags himself back to the squat needing stitches... he's not the only one? and maybe its unhealthy but they just ruffle his hair and laugh and call it lebenskunst and show him how to put cigarettes out on his own forearms without flinching and drag him to show after show after show after show after

and yes he still always feels like an Outsider

but maybe its only after a couple years of Hogwarts when he's 17 and less feral and his ribcage doesn't stick out anymore and he's taking sirius to the cheap schöneberg flat he's renting with galleons (that he earned!!) (!!!!!)

he looks around and sees it through somebody else's eyes for the first time and thinks that as shabby as it was he was never actually on the outskirts of his own life here? he was living it?

the dubious philosophy of salmon

It absolutely makes my blood boil when people associate gender with things THEY enjoy doing or a skill that THEY have. Like no, being emotional isn't a 'girl thing' just because you're a girl and emotional, it's a YOU thing. Stop creating dumb ass gender stereotypes that have no evidence other than experience. People need to know the difference between basic personality characteristics and gender.

Literally most of our problems in any type of inequality comes from stereotypes.

Also, since I'm on a feminist rant I'll just complain about some more stuff. Like for example, the whole 'pick me girl' thing. Those girls who use that term not only do they call girls who don't like to wear makeup 'pick me' but they also fully believe that makeup is an essential to being a woman. Like no, woman aren't born with the inner urge to wake up and cover their faces with chemicals, sorry to break it for you.

Also, can we all just admit that makeup is not 'art', it's a way to cover insecurities. Okay yeah i get it, makeup can be fun. But let's be real, girls who do a full face of makeup since they were young are not doing it because they see it as an art, they are insecure and dependent on it to make them feel better about their looks. I don't see what part of contouring your nose to look smaller and spending so much money on the same products rebranded screams 'art'.

I don't think that wearing makeup is necessarily something to get men's attention, but most of the time it's an unconscious desire. We live in a world where everything is about men. Growing up as a girl, you're sort of wired to always value your looks and men's opinions. It's simply the male gaze and ignoring it does no good.

I enjoy wearing makeup every now and then too, but my first instinct when i see a girl saying she doesn't like to wear any isn't to bash her for liking how her natural face looks like.

And if you really think makeup is a good thing for women, I'm afraid you are beyond help.

And don't even get me started on the whole 'girls have mother instinct' bullshit because it makes me want to bash my head against the wall. It's basically a nicer way to say that women are just baby machines. Just because you have the ability to get pregnant doesn't mean that's all you are. Like you are able to open a door but that doesn't mean your whole life purpose and role is to open the god damn doors. Girls don't have mother instincts just because you shove a baby doll into their hands at the age of five.

Have you seen last chapter?? I love their dynamic so I drew this. Hawks and Nagant are hanging out together a lot after Nagant feels like she is already spent enough amount of taxpayer money in jail and finally get out 🤣🤣🤣

They are watching disturbing movie together in Hawks home theater… (read from right to left)
