It's honestly hilarious when people act like there's no information about the marauders and Lily in canon and therefore canon is irrelevant to the marauders fandom. As if Prisoner of Azkaban, Order of the Phoenix, Half Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows don't exist.

The source material provides LAYERS of relevant information about these characters to anyone who has basic reading comprehension skills. The fun thing about the fandom is all in how we get to take all the info we're given and more fully develop it. Not in blatantly rejecting it all and creating ships and characterizations that directly contradict everything that makes these characters who they are.

James Potter would never date a Death Eater. That's a fact. James and Lily dedicated their entire adult lives to fighting against the very evil that said Death Eaters represent. Also a fact. James and Lily were in love and would do anything for their child. Also a fact. Sirius and James were two tall, wildly intelligent and talented wizards who came from immense privilege but threw all comfort and safety to the wind in the name of fighting for justice. Also a fact. Regulus Black, Barty Crouch Jr, and Evan Rosier were all virulent genocidal maniacs who willingly joined a cult dedicated to slaughtering innocent people in the name of blood purity. Also a fact. Those three were not marauders and would never be friends or love interests for them. A fact. To deny any of these facts is just bad reading comprehension.

The point of fanfiction is not to make the characters completely unrecognizable from everything we know about them in the source material. To do that is just to write original fiction with unoriginal names. Which is fine...just call it what it is.

You know who else is absolutely gorgeous and talented. Halle Bailey. That right there is my girl. Literal perfection.

AHHHHH JUST LOOK AT HER! A beautiful queen. SHE’S SO ADORABLE 🩷🌸❤️😭🩷🌺💗🩷🌺✨✨✨✨

Rachel Zegler is not only talented [her voice is literally to die for] but also so very beautiful. Has me over here rewatching West Side Story, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and Shazam, just for her. Love her so much 🤭❤️✨

GAHHHHHH, SHE’S SO CUUUUTE!! 😭🩷🌸💗🌼🩷🌺❤️✨

Lily Potter [née Evans] is just that girl. Even if you don’t like her or think she’s boring, you can’t lie, she’s awesome. Her love was so strong it was out there not only saving her son but saving hundreds of lives. Her love for others, specifically Snape, played a big factor in what helped Harry get to where he needed to go and do what he needed to do. It even gave Voldemort the chance to be “saved” if he chose to be.

Lily is the reason that there even is a next generation. Without her the wizarding world [possibly the Muggle world as well] would be doomed and all would be lost.

Gosh, the woman that she is. Love her to infinity and beyond ❤️💫

Here are my personal opinions on some Golden Era Ships @goldenromione

The light purple are the ships i’ve just never heard/read about.

[hollyparker]

Here’s the template I used & the blank version [just incase you want to add your own words]:

I saw a couple of people on TikTok and twt (x) do this and wanted to try it out.

Here’s my personal “Marauders ship opinions.” No hate to those with different tastes, to each their own.

[hollyparker]

Yes! Thank you.

There’s so much I want to say about this, but I don’t know how to get it out. I agree with this 100%

Another thing I really hate and that irks me to my core is when they hit you with a “If you can’t remember it then it wasn’t important” because how do you know it wasn’t important?! It felt important to me. You can’t just completely dismiss me and label my thoughts as “unimportant” simply because my stupid brain can’t catch up. I’m trying my hardest to remember, I swear, but it’s all just blank.

It honestly makes me feel so ashamed and slow.

we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.

even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".

Wanted to share this Golden trio fluff:

Who was Harry Potter anyways? The Chosen One? The Boy-who-lived? The Saviour and Golden Boy of the Wizarding World?

Did the press actually got it right when they wrote pieces about him? Could they know what kind of person he was just by the major events of his life? Coul he?

Did Hermione and Ron knew who his best friend was? During those nights filled with dread when the dead became living and the living bled to death in the most excruciating ways. When they were there for him, did they know?

When they took his hand and slept right there besides him, whispering sweet nothings until he fell asleep again. Could they describe who he was with the same certainty one would talk about the lush and green hills in Scotland?

Mione watched him with that look of hers, one of unwavering faith. Her eyes softening as she lulled him to sleep.

The moonlight filtered through the tiny gap between the curtains back in his room in Grimmauld Place, illuminating the seven freckles scattered in her nose and cheeks. A hundred years could pass and he’d still be able to trace those freckles to memory, like one traces the starts and constellations in the nightsky. She’d stay there for hours, stroking his hair and drawing silly patterns in his skin. Like a mother would. Soft fingertips and soothing lullabies.

With the tenderness of a mother, the devotion of a lover and the undying loyalty of a friend.

In those moments he could be sure of one thing: Hermione Granger knew exactly who Harry Potter was: His best friend, the person looking back at her with grief and open adoration.

And Ron. Ron held him while Mione grounded him and brought him back to Earth with them. Soft breath tickling his neck. He was too tall for the bed, so his feet stayed dangling from the edge most of the times.

Ron was home, Ron was family.

Ron was the first person to ever say I love you, his chubby cheeks bouncing as he smiled, honest in his love like only kids are.

There wasn’t much of that Ron in the 6’2 ft tall man that layed besides him. Except maybe his eyes. They were blue, blueblueblue, round and big and completely sincere. Every emotion he felt reflecting back on them.

Violent but oh so soft. Harry had never seen the ocean, but he reckoned that’s how it looked like.

His presence was enough to make the world stop spinning, so he stayed with them: A hand in his arm or a leg tangled between Mione’s.

Always touching.

His silence saying more than a million words could.

I’m not going anywhere Harry. Not today, not tomorrow. Not ever again.

But so they knew? Did they even care?

You’re every Harry love, the ones you like and the ones you don’t

Harry Potter was the guy that passed the Auror official test in record time. The one that later on had a flashback in the middle of a raid and almost got everyone killed.

Harry Potter was the man who stayed alone in New Year’s Eve changing napies and falling asleep besides his godson as he burnt in fever.

It was the five year old boy that one day came home from school with a carefully written card he’d dedicated to his aunt on Mother’s Day.

It was the boy who loved to fly. That felt more free in the air than any place on Earth. That enjoyed the breeze against his hair and the feeling of wood under his fingers.

It was the man that spent half a year in muggle parties with his best friend’s sister fucking his way through London. High with the thrill of anonymity and pissed out of his mind.

The person that loved to control, to humiliate and to hurt: The man more scared of his own shadows than he was of any threat out there.

The one that stood in front of Voldemort when he was 17 and killed him like he was born to do so.

Harry Potter was the man scared of dark and cramped spaces. The man that fell apart in his best friends’ arms and sobbed for hours like he couldn’t do anywhere else.

It was the little boy who looked just like his father, that had his mother’s eyes.

It was the man who loved with every fiber of his being, that loved and loved like it was a race, that burned and consumed and desperately wanted to be loved back. It was the man that remembered Molly’s favorite way of taking tea, that visited Goerge on the weekends at the shop. The one that discussed muggle phones with Arthur. It was the man Andy could always remember his daughter with

Harry Potter was the boy that walked to his death on a cool May evening because he loved, and wanted his friends to live and to be happy more than he wanted it for himself.

And so Hermione stroked his hair, and Ron hid his face in the crook of his neck, and so they’d remind him.

I love all of them Harry, each and one of them

You’ve carried enough burdens mate, leave some of them to us alright? We’ll carry them too

Harry Potter was Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley’s best friend. And sometimes, that was enough.

Golden Trio

[hollyparker]

There is no duo in the Golden Trio, but there was a duo in the Marauders and that's why one group aged like fine wine and the other fell apart like a Crumbl cookie.

[hollyparker]

Every time I see a Marauders fan act like they’re superior to Harry Potter fans, I have to laugh. It is, quite honestly, the most hilarious and delusional thing ever. Especially when they say or think that it’s two different things.

Spoiler alert! It’s not.

Marauders = Harry Potter

There would literally be no Marauders without Harry Potter. Harry Potter is the foundation and the Marauders are a branch of it. So if you’re a Marauders fan, then you are a Harry Potter fan (no matter how much you change it to fit your headcanons and personal perspective on it). You just focus on and like a different era.

Like, if you told someone you like the Marauders, you would undoubtedly have to bring up the fact that it’s Harry Potter, that it’s part of the HP franchise. No matter how hard you try, you can’t separate them; they’re one and the same. It all leads right back to the source.

Marauders stans hating on Harry Potter fans:

[hollyparker]

Yes yes 100% YES! I’ve always thought this too and I love it so much. Their love language with each other is physical touch. No on can ever or will ever take this headcanon from me, to me it’s real.

Headcanon ❗ (but real to me)

The Golden Trio are very affectionate friends. Like annoyingly so.

Always reaching out for a high five or a pat on the back. Arms around shoulders. Greeting with a hug. Harry gives great neck massages. Ron likes to sit shoulder to shoulder. Hermione guides them around with a hand on their lower back (and so they don't wander off).

Ron taps Harry on the ass whenever he walks by. Hermione trims their hair during the school year because she insists it does a better job than magic. Harry could fall asleep anywhere and regularly dozes off in class with his head on one of their shoulders.

If they're sitting at a table together, chances are their legs are all tangled together underneath or stacked like pancakes. Hermione holds onto their arms when they walk through a crowd. Ron props his chin atop their heads when he stands behind them.
