Guess Who

Genuinely in tears at Torbek's poetry writing (ep8 of ouaw), i wanna give him a hug so bad 😭😭 little (massive) guy has so many issues 😭😭

Expanding on this because I have had Thoughts.

In his letter telling them to watch Torbek, Mr. Witch (or maybe Light, I don't remember) tells the Krew that Frost is fine, but will only stay fine if they watch Torbek. What if they called his bluff? What if Kremy thought he wouldn't possibly actually do something to Frost and the others agreed, and Gideon is all about freedom and Gricko, I think, out of all of them cares the most about Torbek, so they give Torbek the choice to go and explain the situation to him, probably at Gricko's insistence, just like he insists on it in Twig's Inn in the canon storyline. He decides to stay because Torbek wants to help Frost out.

So then they go back to Mr. Witch and Mr. Light and refuse to turn Torbek over, probably planning to threaten Mr. Witch and Mr. Light into giving Frost back, only they refuse to return him because they need someone to send to the Feywild and Frost was their backup all along because they saw how powerful he was in the Big Top Extravaganza and figure he could survive the torture. They do like him better than Torbek, who's been a pain in their asses for a weeks, but he did bring the happiness of the carnival down and bring up some painful memories for Mr. Light.

So Mr. Light has Burly or someone shackle Frost up (possibly with some kind of power suppressing shackles, similar to how the Krew had to distract Torbek for an hour so they could find strong enough shackles) and bring him to the mirror to Prismeer, where either one of the hag's minions or someone working for the doctor come and pick him up, and Burly uses the poem to open it, and the Krew sneaks after him and hear the password, so the Krew goes through the mirror. But because of the passing of time being all wonky, all signs of Frost are already gone.

All the regular stuff happens, but with Torbek instead of Frost. The Krew is at the Inn at the End of the Road trying to get some rest and find Frosty when they see a familiar figure out the window with a horrible magenta glow to his eyes they of course immediately recognize him, and let him in, only to realize that he's now a horrific mutated version of himself.

And then they have to fight Frosty, and I do think they would be a lot more hesitant to hurt Frost than Torbek. Gricko might just outright refuse to hurt Frosty, but Frost would still go after him and horribly injure him. And once Frost is no longer under the influence of the Witchlight he would feel horrible and try to separate himself from the others to protect them and probably refuse to see gricko because he hurt him (Grimmorning angst, romantic or no) and Kremy would feel bad because it was his idea to csl Mr. Witch and Mr. Light's bluff and look how that turned out, but of course my emotionally repressed lizard man wouldn't do anything about it. aakdmskkfjakfjfj I want this au so bad.

Spoilers for Once Upon a Witchlight Episode 8 and onward

Currently imagining an AU where instead of having them trade Torbek to get Frost back, Mr. Witch just sends Frost into the feywild to get experimented on. Frost becoming the one possessed by The Other. Frost, who so greatly values his mind and his control of it losing control. The other's reaction to learning Frost is GONE. The Krew going into the feywild to save their friend instead of Zabilna. The Krew having to fight Frosty because he lost control. Frost's guilt after attacking his family. Oh my god

I am SCRAMBLING to finish Icebound for the new session on Saturday but I'm on episode 23 and super busy so I probably won't make it. Hopefully I can finish before the vod is gone from twitch to see the Avantris and Chill and stuff but idk about this one

Remus opened his letter, surprised when it appeared to be a howler. The last time he’d heard one was the day before Sirius got disowned back in 5th year.

He was in the dining hall for breakfast, sitting at the staff table. He watched as Harry and Hermione plotted, looking anxious. He blew it off, as it seemed Harry was always weary.

“A howler,” Snape sneered from beside him.

“Astute observation, Severus.” Remus told him, nodding at him.

Remus disregarded Snape, and focused on the howler. There was no name on it, so it was possible it was from a student playing a prank. In good nature, for the prankingnostalgia, Remus opened it.

There was silence for a moment before a loud, booming voice started to yell. “DARLINGGGGG, GUESS WHOS BACK FROM JAIL” And it was his Sirius Black. And he knew they would find each other again.

My headcannon is that this is a reference to the prank when Sirius revealed that Remus is a werewolf to Snape. I think before Remus was able to forgive Sirius they were of course not talking, and while James and/or Peter definitely would have been angry with Sirius for what he did, it I don’t think he would have entirely shut him out either, which would make it hard for Remus to be around them. I like to think that he and Lily really go to know each other well during this time and Remus was even able to gain a little independence while he wasn’t constantly with the marauders. Again, just my headcannon, but I think it explains that line in the show well

When PoA film-Remus tells Harry his mother was there for him at a time no one else was, what do you think that was? (If it's in the books, I've forgotten. Currently on a re-read and will find out eventually)

Hello @loonyloopylupin96 💜

I don't think this is in the book but I have always loved that moment in the film. The beautiful, tender score and the performances are so moving, particularly David Thewlis' whose Remus is everything.

I have always interpreted that as Remus thinking about all the ways in which Lily was there for him during the course of their friendship. My headcanon is that Remus and Lily were always close and had a natural affinity for one another. In fact, my headcanon is that for a long time that Remus was the only Maurader that she liked. I also headcanon that she shares things with Remus that she wouldn't share with others, even James, particularly in regard to the complexity of her feelings about Snape.

I even go as far as to imagine that had many things been different, Lily could have easily have fallen for Remus in the right circumstances....and perhaps sometimes wondered what might have been...although she never says anything about this to anyone...but I'm getting side-tracked...

I headcanon that outside of the Marauders and certain teachers that Lily is the first person that learns about Remus' lycanthropy outside of this tight-knit group at Hogwarts. Remus carries so much shame and self-loathing about this, and Lily's reaction was thoughtful, considerate and compassionate. And he never forgets this.

As the First War progresses, and speculation and tension rise as to who the potential spy in the Order is, Lily vocally defends Remus against Sirius' accusations. James finds this time really difficult, and feels less able to intervene with his loyalty between his friends tested and a natural tendency to side with Sirius on things. This is something that Remus also never forgets.

Thank you for asking. It was lovely to re-visit that scene again 💜

planning mischievous activities

Regulus being so certain that he can't cast a patronus bc he's too bad a person

Sirius choosing to do his annual good brotherly deed and teach him how

Sirius being so certain it would be a lion or a cat and then having to try and keep a straight face and stop all his blood vessels from bursting when it's a stag

Because it could mean nothing...but he knows better than that. There is absolutely no way that's just what it always was.

And now I wanna write a oneshot about it 😭

Marylin Monroe was ACE? HOW HAVE I NOT LEARNED THIS UNTIL NOW ?

Someone with more writing skill than I NEEDS to write the evil au the guys planned out during the Icebound episode 33 stream. Skirmm the Soul Collector? Jornir from the North turning people? Barnabos the sea monster? TAISHEN THE WARLORD WHO HAS TO EXECUTE HIS NIECE? SOMEONE WRITE EVIL TAISEN I BEG
