One of the things I always questioned about HP is how they are teens with no interest in any kind of art/hobbies, which is something I've never seen in real life. Music, fiction literature, etc is barely ever mentioned. ATYD gets teenagers SO WELL. Their interest, dynamics, romance, life goals, etc feel real. It's so superior to canon in that regard that it not being 100% accurate doesn't bother me at all. It's a 10/10 for me.
the epilogue fucked me up so bad because teddy (and likely the rest of the world) know absolutely nothing about remus and sirius' relationship. their love was ultimately forgotten by the world. It didnt save them, and perhaps even helped lead to their demise, but it still matters that it was there, their sad ending does not discredit the years (and hundreds of chapters) of joy they brought each other. I specify remus and sirius but i think this applies to all of their friends as well. There's a reason its named "All The Young Dudes" after all, and not any other song title. this is one of my favorite themes in tragedy and the fact that they went this route makes up for any grievances i may have with the fic (you cannot convince me remus would happily marry and have a kid a YEAR after his soulmate dying, especially when 12 years wasnt enough the first time they lost each other, not to mention one of grant's reasons for leaving is he wanted to foster kids and remus didnt) thank you for the video essay. loved listening to it while doodling in my sketchbook. perhaps i will read the sirius pov next
Thank you for all these videos! My girlfriend is a huge marauders fan. After years I’m finally trying to get an understanding of her love for it and these videos have been helping so much! Keep doing what you’re doing! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
ATYD is not for me but the people who complain about his character have clearly never met a teenage boy? everyone forgets that the best part of the marauders is that we can make them act however we want (for the most part) BECAUSE PEOPLE GROW UP :)
I devoured ATYD in like a week and did not sleep at all. I love it as a work of fiction, but I love it in a sense that I treat the characters as almost ocs who have the same names as the characters in the books, which I think is actually kind of the point why I do enjoy ATYD so much. As a long time fanfic writer of the Marauders era esp (although in another language on another website that's probably not really known in the west), I actually might be in the minority in actually having more qualms with Sirius' characterization than Remus in ATYD, because the canon diversion of Remus' backstory changed in ATYD, I actually really love the character arc Remus went on throughout this series to become the person that's in the HP books, the worldbuilding is a lot more fleshed out and I find the werewolves and the first wizarding war to be especially well-written. But I think that's just my own personal opinion.
One of my friends kept telling me that I am the embodiment of Sirius Black then proceeded to tell me that there was a fan fiction called All The Young Dudes that I should 100% read and I uh.. I love Atyd now :3 and Sirius :D Love your videossss
so on point that the cosplay of the video is remu lol, loving these deep dives even tho I'm not the biggest atyd fan, I respect it for what it has accomplished and for its genuinely good writing (I'm just not big on the characterization of specifically wolfstar but not in a "it's bad" way, I just don't prefer it) I still did enjoy the dyslexia rep, the toast, david bowie as gay awakening and the many pranks they put together edit: as I kept watching the video I realised that I liked it a bit more than I remembered lmaoo it really is iconic I can't deny that I guess
This video is perfect for me, lol. I haven't read atyd, because it's simply not the style of fanfiction I personally enjoy. But I have always wanted to know what it's all about. Thanks for making this!
I haven’t watched this video yet, as I haven’t read ATYD, but I had to leave a comment complimenting your cosplay, especially the scars! It’s so easy to over do or under do scars, but you captured Remus’ so perfectly.
really fun video! also here to mention that i do enjoy the werewolf stuff, i find it an interesting take on a disadvantaged community, and how remus is a "token" for the order, but when he advocates for systemic change people think he is dark and the spy. if there is only 1 fan of the werewolf stuff, its me.
I just finished ATYD 3 weeks ago and the Sirius Perspective last week. It's my very first fanfic and I'm still hung up on it 😅 You're right, it's the best and most well-written fic and listening to you retell the story makes me feel everything all over again 🥲 also love your Remus look!! So well-done! 🫶
Fantastic breakdown! You might have just convinced me to read this when I have enough time... Also just curious if you/anyone else is familiar with the Marauders series on Wattpad (by Pengiwen), which is another mostly canon-compliant fic that follows the Marauders at Hogwarts and is Woflstar and Jilly focused? It was extremely popular during the pandemic to the point where a friend convinced me, who was/is not into the Marauders fandom at all to read it (I only got up to year 3 I think). I believe the author sold physical copies of the first fic at one point as well, which is probably not legal but a testament to the popularity it had. I don't think it ever breached containment due to the nature of wattpad, but watching this video definitely reminded me of it and I'm curious if anyone else knows what I'm talking about.
I have so much love for ATYD. It was the first HP-related thing I was able to enjoy post JK's transphobic spiral, and helped me recapture a bit of that childhood magic. So I'll forever be grateful for that! Side note: love the outfit!
Wow I loved this! Really fun hearing somebody else’s thoughts on this. I just recently got into this whole marauders stuff and All The Young Dudes has single handedly reignited my passion for reading. For a while I really was only listening to stuff, but it really is so special that it’s made me appreciate reading something yourself. I imagined so much because of how good the writing is, I can completely understand the amount of fan art about this.
discovered your lore vid from a few months ago and now im just binging them all 😭😭😭 i love the whole vibe and layout of your videos!!! its so funny hearing all the lore and stuff spoken out loud, our fandom really is bonkers 💀
I love all the young dudes so much, I have read it once a year, every year since I found out about it in 2020. It is my favourite fanfic and is basically cannon in my head, I have a tattoo that took 5 hours to get done dedicated to it. So I think it's fair to say this story means alot to m. Thank you for making this video
OMFG YESSSSSS i finished atyd a few weeks ago and dayum…I NEEDED THIS SO BAD in your opinion, do u like ATYD or Sirius’ perspective more? i haven’t read SP yet so idk if i should try. someone’s actually doing an audiobook version so i might read that
You mentioned that Teddy Lupin is in the epilogue. Does the author ever mention why Tonks and Lupin got married? It makes no sense in canon and it doesn’t sound like it makes sense in this fic either.
no it's never mentioned LMAO, i think it's just a thing cause ATYD it's canon compliant but considering the scene where Remus holds her as a baby... ima guess mskingbean isn't a big fan *LOL*
@@Coffeekoe I’m not either lol. They definitely should have both been queer and just friends. I think a friendship would have been nice. Idk the marriage was unnecessary. I don’t remember anyone ever liking it when the book came out.
atyd had me sobbing at 2 am and idk how I just move on from that lmao. Loved it but ouch. I'm not sure what fit I should read next though, any thoughts? I was also thinking of writing marauders fics but I am very American so...maybe we're getting americanized British boys from me lmao or at least not as British as atyd cause again, I am very painfully American lmao.
real, i was *unwell* when I finished it. I've been reading crimson rivers since I finished ATYD so that's what i'd recommend :) (though it's like completely different from ATYD so maybe my suggestion isn't helpful at all oops)
@@Coffeekoe crimson rivers is the hunger games au jegulus one right? If so I’ll definitely read that then because I love hunger games and just the idea of jegulus has sounded good in my head since I heard it when I discovered marauders through your deep dive lol (like I knew it existed but never actively learned about it till then)
I remember reading atyd for the first time it was the first fan fic i ever read and the the only book i had read in english was harry potter so like it was very confusing not knowing what words like "fags" "snogging" "shagging" and "queer" meant i reread it and it was much easier but this video still helps
@@Coffeekoe Looking for it I found two audiobooks of ATYD in Spotify, I didn't knew people could make audiobooks whit fanfics. This fandom is wild, I love it.
@@Coffeekoe Uhh, have fun ig! I am too scared to start reading crimson river so I read Only the Brave and PPP after ATYD (which was my first fanfic) and now I am reading You signed up for this by the same author who wrote Only the Brave :)

The cigarette earrings are top tier and I don't even like smoking :3 This was so well researched
i don't smoke trust me! they're fake haha. And thank you
“Remu” is so cute I’m still not over the fact that Remus hated it like it’s so adorable come on!!
Thank you for all these videos! My girlfriend is a huge marauders fan. After years I’m finally trying to get an understanding of her love for it and these videos have been helping so much! Keep doing what you’re doing! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
you, cosplaying remus, being unable of naming the spell that helped remus how to read... i choked from laughing.
LISTEN. I'm not used to reading things in fanfiction out loud okay LOLLL

Just wondering, what are your qualms with Sirius' characterization? For me it was one of the best I ever seen
It’s ironic how Snape Taunts Sirius about his bad family situation, like boo…don’t you also have a terrible family situation??? 😭

Frl, bro really needed to get a grip
