My favorite genre of uncarley video is a 1-hour deep dive into a subject I already know thoroughly and carnally.

The canon and fanon is so blurred with Wolfstar, like no other fandom. Listening to the canon timeline, I spent half the time thinking 'wait, that's in the book?!'

I’m shocked, dumbfounded, incredulous, that the two characters Joann named Wolfy Wolf and Doggy Dog ended up being shipped together. Who ever could’ve seen this coming AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES???

How was Carley in the trenches of EVERY feral fandom in the 2010s… like this girl is braver than the troops she was there at ground zero

honestly, while it s small, the moment that cemented wolfstar as a fic for me was when they gave Harry joint presents. to my young mind, only married people did that, so it was as good as them having a wedding.

remus never even ate the fucking chocolate 😭😭😭

The idea that JKR said lycanthropy represents HIV and then made a character who deadass hunts children to infect them is genuinely psychotic

I have always kind of loved that Andrew Garfield and Ben Barnes who became the fancast for Wolf Star just like are fully aware of it and embrace it. They have said that they feel honoured to have been chosen by the fandom as like the physical manifestations of these characters.

now in my 30's, I find it so funny to hear that wolfstar popped off after 2020, lol. It was POPPING OFF strong in 2006 already

The biggest of JK Rowling’s notorious plot holes is her expecting us to believe Remus Lupin was straight

Remus: Harry, a large secret was revealed about me and now I must leave Hogwarts in a hurry.

Harry: Are you fucking serious?!

Remus: So you heard too?

As someone almost completely removed from Harry Potter shipping, this is a documentary for me

49:43 remus being obsessed with chocolate reads the same of how people used to write niall being obsessed with food (especially nandos) back in the wattpad 1d fanfic days

@kelly8361 1 year ago

can’t wait to outlive joanne and tell future generations wolfstar is canon 🧑‍❤️‍💋‍🧑

I've always wondered why Snape's worst memory isn't when Sirius almost killed him...seems more traumatic than getting pantsed idk

About Remus Lupin... He is my favourite character from Harry Potter and when I was 13 years old i did for school a character study for him and i remember during my research (mind you it was 20 YEARS AGO) that I read that Jk Rowling did NOT want Lupin to be gay because "it was too obvious" - and I was like WHAT - because hes smart and soft and MARGINALIZED?? She was so close to greatness... And yet
