Someone should introduce yoga pants to the man 👀
Helene needs to go a size down with his pants, poor guy is always trying to pull them up.
A bit tighter on the bum never hurt anyone!
To be fair he used to pull up his painted on skinny jeans too. Small waist big butt problems.
He knows that jacket is doing EVERYTHING but keeping him warm 🤧
shivering his tiny tiny tits off 🫶🏽
All Louies have a biting kink
BADDIEEEE
Fem sirius!!
What the fuck 😭😭😭
Beautiful
HC: Remus liked muggle music - and his family had a deep love for Radio.
A drabble of General Wizarding Music; History; Lyall and Hope Lupin; Remus' childhood - and his particular friendship with Sirius Black.
(1700 words; in the form of a... idk, a short story I guess?)
Wizarding World Music
Music is a simple joy, one even magical folk partake in - but not in the same way muggles do. When Wizarding culture changes so slowly (high density of older population - and they live a looong time) - they don't exactly carry music about with them for casual consumption.
When there is so much magic to study, magical folk rarely have time to learn instruments or songwriting. Music is seen as a Muggle thing. A COOL muggle thing - even Purebloods concede that the mundane folk whittling their time away on the complexities of sound has artistic merit. Most people like classical music - even as modern as Strauss and Debussy!
But in terms of wizarding music... there isn't much that is 'unique'. There's lots of folk music, telling stories of the time (wandering wizard falls in love with muggle dame and thus gets burned by her family) Or are used to remember potion recipes etc. from when being able to read was a rare skill... But such songs are not unique to Wizards. There are often Muggle versions of the same songs (Innocent dame falls for an evil sorcerer and so he was rightfully burned; or a song about trees being about their uses for carpenters rather than wand makers) - it being unclear which came first. Even the most famous modern Wizarding artists are copying the genre and styles lead by Muggles, using muggle instruments - and even electrics and electronics. Music is what you enchant instruments to play for events, to show off your Charms prowess - not to callous your own fingertips on. The proudest wizards and witches are the ones whose hands remain soft their entire lives - who can use their magic for everything...
The Lupin Family
It wasn't until Lyall Lupin met Hope that he truly begun to understand the appeal of muggle music. The simple joy of putting a record on and taking his wife's hand to dance... (cont. below)
Hope's teenage years had been set to the smooth but energetic American voices of Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, Ray Charles - Frank Sinatra... Along with slightly older artists, as long as they could really jive: Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong etc. She was an avid dancer - attending dance clubs as a hobby. (She was an active, adventurous woman who enjoyed going out by herself.)
It had a sparked an interest in Lyall, who eagerly bought a high quality radio/record player - so his growing family could listen to the music and drama's of the Muggle world he had fallen in love with. He found late-night horror shows most engaging, staying up even as his wife (and soon young child) had gone to bed. He would occasionally wake them with his laughter at what Muggles considered 'frightening'... and found himself fully engaged with ongoing murder mysteries, pondering them even as he was at work. The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan - the house ALWAYS had music playing on that radio. His mother would dance to it while keeping the house and his father would sing along. Remus grew up not knowing true silence... and was happier for it. After the bite... music went from a presence in his life to a necessity. As he lay in bed recovering it was all his parents could do to stop him hearing them cry: drown their noise with the radio. As they moved house every few months, the one precious possession they never sold was the radio. It kept them in muggle towns far more often than not (even if it meant Lyall had to travel further to find work) - so they could plug the radio in. (and also because magical folk were sharper at spotting werewolf symptoms)
No matter how tight money got, they couldn't sell a member of the family. Especially not one that kept Remus company.
On Full Moons sometimes music would send Remus into a rage of over-stimulation - and sometimes it would calm him. He would stop banging his entire weight against the door and scratching the paint off the walls of their rental property basements/attics/sheds... and just listen. And howl loud enough that the neighbors complain. Whenever Lyall got just a little money to spare between moves, he would brighten his son's life by buying him records - so he could listen to his favourite songs whenever he liked. He wasn't allowed to have friends... but he could have this, at least.
As his mother's frail Muggle body grew weaker from stress, when she stopped being able to attend her dance clubs (both fatigue and fear she would see people she recognized, even in different towns, and have to try and explain why she kept disappearing) Remus could still listen to music with her. They had all her favorites on record, and even when she was near bedridden (and a young house-bound Remus had to do most of the chores) he would come to her bedside and sing along with her, let her stroke his hair. Sometimes she would get up and teach him how to dance... Starting Hogwarts was a lifesaver for his family. When Remus went away, they could actually stay in the one house. Lyall could work steadily and keep money not for their next move, but for their comfort. He could even take time off to spend with his wife. Hope was still weak but doing better, not having to be the primary person preparing to hold an adolescent werewolf every month.
Every month he got a little bigger, a little stronger... every month both his parents would stay up all night, barricading everything they could... and just waiting. Listening to his movements. Hoping he didn't manage to break the door down and rip them apart. Every Full Moon was a horror story worse than any radio drama. Remus had always been just s worried as they were. They did their best to not let him know how much they suffered, as it wasn't his fault... but he could see it. He learned very early on how to mask emotions and lie to keep others happy - learned from his parents soothing him, and from him soothing them right back.
He would start skipping meals a week before the Full Moon came - and it broke his parents hearts... but it was effective. A starved growing boy made a much weaker werewolf. Lyall and Hope would want to skip their meals with him sometimes, not wanting to make the house smell like potatoes and sausages when their little boy was refraining from eating... But, hardened and matured from his illness, he would remind them they had to have their full strength on the Full Moon. They had to hold him back... and they had to run if it went wrong. They would concede... and eat small meals, at least.
Remus and his Friends
At Hogwarts - Remus didn't have to worry about ANY of this. Locked far away from anyone, safe and contained... He arrived at school small and skinny for his age, but was barely recognizable his first summer: well fed and eager to tell his parents about his new FRIENDS.
He was awkward and meek, having never really spoken to anyone but his parents before... his first friends were purebloods, whom he had little in common with. But that's part of why they liked him! He was interesting and different - and he had a passion to share with them: Music. Sirius, disillusioned with pureblood life, fell in love with Muggle culture... and fell deeply in love with Music. Back Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, King Crimson - music so unlike anything he had heard before, experimental and electronic. Even if it wasn't so much Remus' thing, who preferred rock and pop of the 60s - they BOTH loved Queen and David Bowie. James was less enthusiastic, but just happy to share something with his friends - happy to fund their obsession: Portable radios they could tinker with and listen to in the Shack... they couldn't pick up every station out there, but on a clear day they got some - and it was familiar company on Full Moons. One summer James even paid for them all to go and see a concert. (Sirius and James had to be babied through it, dressed adequately and stopped from making fools of themselves.)
James might have been less enthusiastic about music - but his knowledge of it gave him something to talk to Lily about - so when she finally agreed to go out with him, he scrambled to his friends to ask if they had any of her favourite groups on record - because he told her he liked them too but he has no idea what they are HELP
One of the best presents Remus ever got was a Walkman, after they all graduated, when Lily was pregnant and they couldn't see each-other as often anymore due to the war. When he lost everyone, in 1981... Music, once again, became his only companion. Cassettes were handy: small enough to fit many inside of even a small, cheap enchanted bag. He rarely had spending money - but like his father had with records, he would dedicate money to batteries, to new headphones and to cassettes of his old favourites. No matter how tight money was - music was a necessity. No matter where he was sleeping - a hotel, an old cottage, under a bridge... he had music with him. He never listened to the radio. He didn't want to hear how things were changing. He wanted to stay in the past.
... When Sirius came back, when he got a friend back, he parted with that walkman. Giving it to him was one of the first things he did. It was his way of apologizing for spending the last 14 or so years thinking he was a traitor. Watching his skinny, shaking hands eagerly working the machine, crying as he heard happiness he was forced to forget for 12 years...
...and they danced. Remus was never much of a dancer, though his mother tried to teach him... and Sirius only grew up with formal dancing, as a Pureblood heir expected to attend functions on behalf of the Black family.
Neither of them were graceful. It was terrible, really - a couple of men in their mid 30s moving their bodies in ways they hadn't since they were teenagers... But that memory is one of Remus' happiest. Because, once again, he had a family to share music with.

There are two ways to listen to Louis Tomlinson: Live Album
FUCKING BOP LIKE WHAT THE FUCK I DONT FEEL LIKE GOING HOME WHO MEGAMIX SURROUNDED BY LIGHTS HEY BABE DO YOU STILL REMEMBER FEELING YOUNG CHICAGO WHO?
and
Bawl over how far he made it, and analyse the lyrics again there no in between, enjoy 🥰
Never liked We Made It until it was the perfect opener for LTWT. Never loved Bigger than Me until it was on a scratchy livestream and thought, “oh, that’s good live.” Saturdays is beautiful with its whirling guitars and the Paris, “fuckin amazing” light show captured for all time, a fitting tribute to fan actions. Written all over your face is a sassy minx with those lyrics - I guess in Budapest he made it all the way through his run, how many lives did they record in hope?! It brings a smile at the memory of his chest clutching dramatics. Common people is a chorus, Louis sounding awesome backed with Louie voices, the plaintively beautiful tones of Holding onto Heartache, only Louis could make it sound this gorgeously battered with that great, stirring resolution of a bridge. The Greatest is just awesome, a thrill ride call to action. Face the Music is a bop. Walls, who doesn’t love Walls? Louis statement of fight or no, he’s not going down and our chance to reciprocate some Louis love in the because of it all. All this Time is a sexy, slinky build of a twirling tease melding into the transcendence of She is Beauty, surrounded not just by light but by the perfect chanting accompaniment of the Louie chorus, the bittersweet nostalgic vibe of Chicago with the sweetness we wish all exes had, the simmering justification of Fearless ratcheting up and yes! Give it up for the fuckin band! That guitar solo backed by the heavy thrust of percussion. Then the drums - the drums! - and guitar intro on Out of My System, the energy and pace of that ride, the recording turning it almost into a wild, cooperative call and answer, until the ultimate expression of Louis Live, “ I don’t feel like going home”, you so right, Silver Tongues, now we can have it all on repeat. Louis and his brilliant fuckin band coming at you live from venues across the world, with crystalline sound, melded seamlessly into one glorious recreation of that experience complete with fan voices, actions, giggles, asides, you sings and fank you, fank yous. Only the light show (and the smell of weed drifting across a stadium) could have made it more authentic.
Thank you so much for this. Yes, I am prejudiced in the extreme but it has to be one of the best live albums I’ve heard.
ps how gorgeous is it that he is the first to release a live album? qed that one, baby
thinking about: louis' waist x-ray version

Ahh, the first music video that got me into 1D (and eventually Louis himself)

Q: Louis, many fans believe in the theory of you dating Harry Styles, even though you describe this story as ridiculous. So why is this conspiracy so famous?
Louis Tomlinson: I think like any of those things, you know… what’s tough is I’ve realized some years ago: there’s nothing I can say, there’s nothing I can do to dispel the believers of that conspiracy. They are so intertwined with what they believe to be the truth that they won’t actually see the truth for what it is.
I’d be lying if I— it does irritate me a little bit, you know? It is just the nature of the job, I suppose. There’s times when it gets a little bit… at times it gets far too personal within that whole space. I’ve got my son Freddie, who is the most important person in my life. Occasionally it broaches the stuff that is really unfair.
It kind of is just this thing that exists now. There’s nothing I can do about it. There’s nothing I can say about it to stop people making up what they want to make up. So, so be it.

showing off those legs like my thoughts aren't unholy enough already?
EDIT: I'm telling this to Louis! Not the other way around!
