Should I Do More Of These? - Blog Posts

Ao3 being down on the FIRST DAY I have an account has to be some sort of fucked-up pipe dream. Please tell me I’m fucking joking. Complaints aside, proud of the Ao3 volunteers for not giving up on the site yet. I, along with an ass ton of other people, are rooting for you to kick whatever the fuck that is interrupting my abusive style/comfort k2 fic in its flat, tiny, puny little ass!

JAY’S MARAUDERS ERA HEADCANONS PT 1:

James Potter & Remus Lupin

James and Remus = Pan/Bi solidarity

James definitely learned everything he knows about muggles from Remus. (Remus definitely told him some made-up shit to like: “muggles will always tip their hats, even if they aren’t wearing any, but only if they like you” and James gets sad the first few times he meets muggles because they never tip their hats at him.)

While James and Sirius are like brothers, James and Remus aren’t— they’re those type of best friends that flirt with each other constantly and they’re like: “By the time we’re thirty, if we haven’t gotten with Lily/Sirius, let’s get married.”

They make the dirtiest jokes.

Remus says he doesn’t like quidditch, but he just says it because then James gets really excited for the next game so he can prove to Remus that quidditch is an amazing sport.

They never fight. Like ever. Like they argue about stuff— “Trolls are cooler!” “No, Goblins are way cooler!”— but they never have real fights in which they’re both upset.

When Jily and Wolfstar both start dating James and Remus still flirt and hold hands and stuff and Lily and Sirius are like: “Our boyfriend are boyfriends.”

The only real fight they ever had was Remus calling himself a monster and other bad things after ‘The Prank’ and James was pissed at him for thinking of himself in that way.

James and Remus were each other’s first kiss.

When ever James practices asking Lily out, it’s always on Remus and he’ll grab something red, like a sweater or a pillowcase and put it on his hair to look like Lily. It’s a whole show with voices and everything.

Gramática 

Porque el cielo ha conspirado en mi favor - Because the heavens have conspired in my favor: 

ha conspirado = present perfect tense (haber + participio pasada)

Me haces bien - You make me better (literally: you make me well)

me (pronombre) + haces (hacer en el presente 2a persona) + bien (adjetivo)

Creo en ti - I believe in you

Creo (creer en el presente 1a persona) 

Creer means to believe. When pared with “en” + “persona/pronombre” it means “to believe in...”

Me ha vuelto indestructible - I have become indestructible

volverse (con pronombre) = to become

“vuelto” is the past participle of volver(se), it’s irregular

me vuelvo (presente) = I become

me ha vuelto (pres. perfect) = I have become

Mi dolor se quedo kilómetros atrás = my pain stayed kilometers away

se quedo = quedarse en el pasado 3a persona

this verb always needs a reflexive pronoun

Past tenses

te encontré   = I found you

crucé = I crossed

esperé = I hoped/waited (what a fun wordplay)

This was super fun to work on! I didn’t include everything because that would take forever! I love this song so much, it’s so cute and sweet. 

If you have any questions, reply to this post and hopefully I can help you out. This is my first time making one of these!
