Thinking about og characterization is just like the rinse repeat soft boy x angst boy with no character depth. I absolutely love atyd for changing that.
I really enjoyed this deep dive as someone who started reading Wolfstar fics in 2003. :) There's so much more that has been lost to time/not recorded on the internet archive, sadly -- the original Shoebox Project archive was lost in the 2011 ddos attack on LiveJournal by the Russian Government, but I'm so glad to see it's still hanging around and being mentioned in fandom as an OG fan! Another lost archive that never made it fully onto AO3 was a collaborative project dedicated to imagining that after Sirius fell through the veil in OotP he didn't die but instead traveled to various universes. Different authors would write different parallel universes he visited, with every story ending with him finding the veil and going through it again in the hopes of making it home. The project was never finished and the website has been lost to time. Sorry for the rambling comment, I just really appreciate the older history of the ship making it into your video and being treated with such care -- I often feel that people discussing the state of the current Marauders fandom/characterization don't look back before around 2012 or so when AO3 became more widely used after the ddos attack on LiveJournal.
Oh, I did want to add that another influential fic I remember (pre-Casting Moonshadows) is Stealing Harry by copperbadge! It's not Marauders-era but it is a pretty major Wolfstar fic in the history of the fandom imo. Also Beyond the Veil by Atalan is a classic Bring Back Black fic that I was obsessed with in the 2000s to the point where I bought a book of translated Virgil. Additionally, this was before even my time but the SBRL Yahoo! Mailing List (and subsequent fan archive) was so crucial for building community for this ship in a time when so many major fan archives were banning all slash content.
LOVE THIS!!! Your Remus scars are so realistic and I love your attention to details (such as earrings). I’m in love with the fact that you specifically mentioned Sirius riding in the grocery cart. I also really really love your videos because unfortunately I don’t have access to any fanfiction so you’re my main source of information regarding the Marauders. Thanks for putting so much effort into making these videos so awesome!!!!!!
Video essays are my favorite thing on the internet. Wolfstar is my favorite ship on the internet. Perfect video for me! Also I have binged all of your videos and it has brought me so much joy.
WHEN YOU MENTIONED TEXT TALK I HONESTLY THOUGHT I HEARD IT WRONG. I recently finished reading it and I honestly think it’s a really good fanfic! I really recommend it! Congrats on 2k! ^^
thank you so much for making these videos! It’s thanks to you that I discovered ATYD Finished it yesterday and feel kind of dead inside lol but again, your video helped immensely to cheer up
i love your marauders videos i find them so entertaining even when i know all about the topic already i still smile when i see a new one has been posted, keep up the amazing work!
I enjoy your videos so much! You break everything down so clearly and make it so interesting to watch despite already knowing about the topic myself hahah and your different cosplays each video look amazing:) I’ve only recently discovered your channel but I already know I’m gonna be obsessing over your videos
Omg I love listening to people explaining their hyperfixations!!! Keep it up! I'm getting into the fandom rn! I remember shipping them as a kid when I was reading Harry for the first time so I went full circle (just the moon ahaha-) (....) I know it's going to break my heart but I read Mo Dao Zu Shi so I'm prepared for another 13 years of yearning......
I waited to watch this after I got off of work as a treat and was not disappointed Also I don't think we can talk abt the slowburn heart wrenching fic that is All the Young Dudes with out the words "you were beautiful" or "but you /are/ magic" coming up like that shit happened long before they got together and realized what was going on between them they're so gay I love them
I REALLY LOVE THISSS, THE BEST SHIP EVER AND THE WAY THAT YOU EXPLAIN ABOUT THEM IT'S LIKE SO THE WAY THAT I VIEW IT 😭😭💓 AND I ALSO PRACTICE MY ENGLISH WHIT YOUR VIDEOS, I LOVE TO HAVE A VIDEO WHIT A TOPIC THAT I LOVE, MAKES PRACTICE MY LISTENING MORE EASY 💗
Firstly, this video was spectacular. Secondly, your deep dives got me back into the world of harry potter, after being out of it for a while. Now im here binge watching all of the marauders deep dives I can find 😂 after everything with jk Rowling I didnt want to be associated with anything harry potter related for a while. Essentially, thanks for posting these videos. It got me back into a fandom I thought I would never get into again. I absolutely adore these videos. *also would you ever consider doing a remus lupin scar makeup tutorial ??? 😂
I haven't im sorry. I already read Crimson Rivers cause of this channel so idk if i can handle reading another nearly 1 million word fic so soon LMAOO.
ok but like this has been on my mind for a while so tell me if its stupid but like i lowkey think that conan gray would be a great sirius black if he were an actor (also ur videos are literally my favorite thing ever)
Hiiii i love your vids and i was wondering after doing deep dives on ships can you please do it on different marauders characters and their backstories. ❤
I learned about the Mischief Productions from your videos, and i wanted to ask-- what do you think of Ethan/P4perback as the new remus casting??! me personally i am so fucking stoked and am suddenly so much more excited about their work now that there is someone who im familiar with/love involved :)
A lot of people are leaving the Potterverse thanks to JKR's recent behaviour and I must admit I did leave the fandom for THREE bloody years but the lovely fanon Wolfstar ship more or less brought me back this month. What I realised is that just because JKR is a flawed person doesn't mean her books are crap. In fact, the Potterverse is popukar for a reason. Are they perfect books? No. Did JKR still manage to create some of the best characters ever? Absolutely, and the fandom made things better with their creativity. Now whenever I hear the song "Moonshadow" by Cat Stevens, I fondly think of Remus Lupin as portrayed in the fic "Casting Moonshadows".
i fucking hate jk rowling and everything she puts out into the world but i have so much respect for the marauders fandom. y'all took the trashpile that is harry potter and said no it's mine now and it's actually about these gays from the 70s :3
LMAO. Listen! I feel so embarrassed for constantly talking about them in every video I make lol there's a chance some of them do watch these videos and it makes me feel NERVOUS lol
Ok I know that this is known as a cursed ship but I don't have the brain power to do it soooooo,Can you please do a James x Peter deep dive...Please🥺🥺🥺
I discovered wolfstar in 2019 and I would never have imagined the boom that the fandom had, there was much less content than now and even less in spanish, but suddenly I was on tiktok and everyone was crazy about atyd and wolfstar, It was very crazy but fun. Thanks for making this video, congrats on the 2k and your makeup is amazing!! 💌
Smacks the roof of the Wolfstar fandom: this ship can fit so much trauma in it
the amount of joy i feel when i see one of your marauders deep dives in my notifications is UNPARALLELED
