Okay I need you guys to watch the movie 'humane' (2024) and tell me that sebastian chacon in that movie does not FULLY EMBODY Remus Lupin.

Like, it's all there. The nose. The cane. The hair. THE SIDE PROFILE. Its him, guys. Specifically likeafunerall's art of him.

ALSO, why he is literally tcoptp James here. I think the man can shapeshift.

Being in the marauders fandom and also being a dumbledore fan is interesting sometimes

Like I UNDERSTAND why people hate him I really do but I just can't unsee him from being this eccentric grandpa who loves sherbert lemons and wooly socks, has twinkling eyes and a secret tragic gay past

While I do love the (main) characterisation of Barty Crouch Jr in this fandom (he livens things up for sure) I had a different way of thinking of him.

First of all, I always thought he'd be a ravenclaw (some fics do have ravenclaw Barty which I loveee) that boy got 12 owls, he was a proper nerd.

In most fics (that I have read at least) Barty is a bit of a 'crazy guy' who is doing everything he can to piss off his dad. While I think this is accurate, I think this happened a lot later - not during his Hogwarts years.

The way I picture Barty is a golden boy - perfect grades, prefect, never gets in trouble, friendly, his teachers like him. However, even though he does all of this, he's still not good enough for his father. I think Barty would spend most of his teenage years trying to live up to his dad's expectations - its only when he leaves school and goes into the world that he realises he doesn't need to do this.

I think that that is when Barty would of flipped out. I mean, at the trial, Crouch Senior is in shock - he never expected this of his own son. Sirius even says in gof "he might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time" - if Barty had been a rebellious nutcase at school, Sirius would probably not have had such doubts of Barty's guilt.

I like the storyline of Barty being a quiet, studious ravenclaw at school - following in his father's footsteps - and only when leaving school does he realise that his father doesn't see him, will never truly see him, so Barty falls in with the death eaters. To quietly, but surely, do the absolute worst betrayal he could think of - become the very thing Crouch Senior is fighting against.

Just. Thoughts?? I think this would make his character very interesting, but I've never really seen him portrayed that way. (Any fic recs??) I mean, even in atyd he's a total dick who's attacking muggleborns. I really think Barty would be a star student who turns sour when it's least expected.
