Arrogantly generous James Potter who would burn others and himself for the people he loved (difference between loved and friends).

Fiercely possessive Sirius Black who allows himself to destroy people because he is testing their loyalty for him, but would hurt anyone who tried to hurt anyone/thing that was his (like Regulus was with Kreacher).

I’m imagining Sirius feeling smug by James bullying other people (Slytherins) to entertain him (SWM), but also being the only one who could stop James from getting too drained by trying to keep all his loved ones warm.

Sirius talking to Lily in their 7th year when he sees that James was burning out because of Lily, and Lily was just too hesitant to make the first move. James being extra mean and prickly when Sirius gets mail from the Black family. Sirius putting himself second for once and prioritizing James after the prophecy. James ‘pranking’ the segment of the Order who suspected Sirius of being the spy and insulting him.

James and Sirius bringing out the worse (for James) and best (for Sirius) out of each other.

"Prongsfoot is canon," I say into the microphone. The crowd boos. I sigh and begin to walk off stage. "She's right," a voice says, I turn, and there he is. Sirius Black.

Guys you heard it here first:

Apple is actually a company set up by an alien species. They came to Earth and heard the saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ and thought that it meant The Doctor.

This is a Doctor Who post

I don’t understand why Wolfstar is the bigger ship than Prongsfoot.

There are three reasons I feel like Prongsfoot have a way stronger codependent relationship that could be romantic than Wolfstar.

‘Not a day goes by where I don’t miss your father’. Sirius after spending 12 years in Azkaban where dementors were feasting on happy memories still fondly and constantly remembers (pines for?) James. We see him as the parent figure for Harry but in almost every interaction he seeks James in Harry, and almost feel irritated when Harry doesn’t respond like James.

And it’s not just Sirius. In SWM the whole incidence starts because Sirius is bored. Yeah we can assume that James might still be a dick even if Sirius wasn’t bored but in this context Sirius says that he was bored, and James goes ‘oh I think I see something wrong hat can make you feel not bored’. James basically humiliated a guy for Sirius and this isn’t the first time because we see a tamer rendition of this in Snape’s memories when they meet each other in the train for first year.

Thirdly everything that we see and read about Sirius and Remus seems like they tolerated each other for James. Sirius does not take Remus lycanthropy (which is a very critical aspect of him) seriously. He is willing to use it as a form of entertainment or as a weapon. When they see each other in the shack Sirius is single-minded focused on avenging James.

Don’t get me wrong Wolfstar is cool (I’m not the biggest fan) but I’m just confused as to how they became the more popular ship and not prongsfoot. Was it because James and Sirius don’t have any alive interactions for us to see? Is it because their codependency would be kinda toxic if it was romantic but tragic is platonic?

But yeah like always pls leave your thought in a respectful manner :) always open to differing opinions.

A Doctor Who and Merlin crossover when a few years after Arthur dies, Merlin starts going mad losing his humanity. Simple things like not caring when Leon died in battle, or when Saxons attacked and Camelot fell not going out of hiding to help.

So he’s going like crazy and that’s when the Doctor shows up (I want it to be 9). Nine just got done with the Time War (pre Rose), so he is batshit as well. The only thing is that The Doctor has a real aversion for Merlin’s ambivalence so he scorns it, but then Merlin yells and shows everything that happened and the Doctor understands, because Merlin too witnesses his entire kind (Druids and magic) die.

So from then on the Doctor goes to Merlin every time something is wrong with him, and Merlin seeks out the Doctor when he starts losing it.

Merlin will never travel with the Doctor because he does not want to go too far from Lake Avalon and the Doctor never pushes it. The Doctor went to Merlin post losing Rose, and Merlin recognized the look of loss on the Doctor’s face.

However Merlin and 12 get along the best. 12 understands the responsibility of being different, he has played general and unknowingly so has Merlin. They can be goofy and dramatic, but also solemn and intimidating. The biggest argument the two ever had was about 12 and Clara because Merlin recognized that the Doctor was too dependent on Clara just like he was with Arthur.

But yeah these are drunk ramblings :)

The fact that when River Song was a child trapped in a spacesuit it was the Doctor who was sent to save her (The Impossible Astronaut).

When she regenerates into Mels, she meets Amy Pond who met the Doctor so she grows believing in the Doctor and imagining him with her mother/best friend.

When she regenerates into our River Song she immediately see this man and has a rapport with him, and he desperately tries to save her and through all of it he can only think of one woman- River Song- and then she finds out that that is her. The Doctor, the man she does not know (not really) is so irrevocably loyal and committed to her that she gives up her regenerations to save him.

Whenever she calls he comes. He catches her from spaceships, he takes her on adventures, he makes her feel special but oh so replaceable. She knows everything is temporary, but for how long, because nothing is in order.

She waits for his messages, he waits for hers. They both are time travelers who have no choice but to wait for the next encounter because there is no telling when the next one will come or when it will be the last.

(The Doctor also saw her after she dies in the Library, so I like to think that sometimes when he rants to himself or is talking to the air, he’s actually addressing River. After she disappears in Name of the Doctor he thinks of Derillium and in Tenzelor he thinks he rewrote that time by avoiding it so many times and angsts)

So we know that Snape won the Luck potion (don’t remember the spelling and don’t wanna get it wrong), what do we think he used it on? Or do we think he saved it?

(I’m just imagining him using it to try and get Lily to forgive him, and Felix just getting him to avoid her because the best he can do is leave her alone)

He grew up watching Miraculous Ladybug and since then the only bug he hates is Hawkmoth

One of my favourite Headcanons is,

Harry obsessed with bugs.

He loves them. Lily and James had to buy every book about bugs. They visit parks with him. All day he wanders around looking for bugs, and then in the afternoon James has to write them down in Harry’s bug journal.

His favourite toy is his stuffed ladybug plushie.

Harry just has an obsession with bugs. He just loves them.

River is actually such an amazing character. Like she is as kidnapped as a newborn and brainwashed to kill the Doctor, she regenerated for the first time when she was probably around 7, she became her parent’s best friend and was actually responsible for them ending up together, she finally meets the Doctor, gets shot by a Nazi/Tessalecta, still manages to kill the Doctor despite the fact that she regenerated only a few minutes ago, only to finally break through her brainwashing and realize that killing him was probably a bad thing. So what does she do? She uses all her regenerations to save a man who, until a few minutes ago, she was convinced she had to kill. She goes on to become an archeologist and fall in love with the Doctor, but on the day she graduates the people who stole her as a newborn come back an force her to kill the man she loves. She’s trapped in a suit and forced to watch as she is made to kill him, but she says fuck you to the laws of time and fucking breaks it because she will not kill the man she’s in love with. He then finds her and insists that she kill him and when she refuses and tells him that she loves him, he responds by fucking marrying her, telling her his name, and then showing her that’s he’s actually just a robot with a miniaturization ray so actually she can kill him and he’ll be ok. So she kills him and everything goes back to normal and everything should be fine right? Wrong! Her father ends up trapped in 1960’s New York and when her mother wants to join him she tell her to do it, even though she knows she’ll never see either of them again. Her life has been so much harder than anyone gives her credit for, and yet she never turns bitter. She somehow manages to stay happy and optimistic and be a total badass. Also she had a psychedelic lipstick which I think is amazing.

SCREAMING CRYING AND THROWING UP WHY DID SOMEONE JUST SAY THAT SIRIUS IS A VILLAIN FOR LEAVING GRIMMAULD PLACE AND LEAVING ‘REGGIE’ THERE.

HE. WANTED. TO. STAY. THERE.

If he had wanted out he could’ve been out, and even if not, Sirius is a dog (loyal?!?!!!) if Reg had deserved his loyalty he would’ve dragged him out and made his sleep in Gryffindor for his protection.

If you’re changing a character, change the surrounding characters to reflect that!!!

Hermione would canonically spend summer breaks with the Weasley’s and bunk with Ginny. Like they were close enough that Hermione gave Ginny boy advice, she told her about Krum, and she knew about Ginny/ Dean issues. I feel like both these characters weren’t explored so here are some of my Ginny-Hermione relationship centric headcanons:

- Ginny heard about Hermione from Ron and called his crush on her from first year.

- Hermione was incredibly awkward the first time she met Ginny cause she didn’t know how to make friends without life threatening situations.

- After Hermione was unpetrified Ginny snuck into her dorms to apologize. Hermione just stood there like 🧍‍♀️, and was like ‘that’s fine don’t get possessed again?’

- Third year when everyone was ignoring Hermione for the broom Ginny stuck by her because she knows how dangerous unassuming objects could be.

(She also talks to Fred and George about it so they are also friendly with her for my Fremione brain)

- Ginny is amazing at DADA and was stealing some of Hermione’s third year notes (she also really wanted to impress Remus)

- Ginny was the only one to know about Krum, (she would glare at him daring him to hurt Hermione).

- They would fight and be passive aggressive, but even in those moments they would have each other’s backs (no one else is allowed to be bitchy)

I definitely see what you mean with this restricting fandom behavior, and that was absolutely not my intention.

I guess, in two parts, I was just a little peeved by people genuinely forgetting actual canon and then letting that paint their picture of surrounding characters. I actually saw someone arguing that Barty was an innocent character who was forced into DE and I felt like it was a discredit to him, so my little researcher brain wanted to get to the ‘why’ of this phenomenon.

And on the second part I feel like fandom is such an open and non-judgmental place (for the most part) where character analysis and seeing what makes general human psyche tick, and by reducing characters to a binary of good or evil limits people in fandoms too.

(Also the only reason I brought up that point is because so many times i’ve got flack for liking a ‘grey’ Regulus instead of just good or bad).

Lol and an asshole can 100% be in love with an evil pretty boy, Jegulus is just a wider audience who actively participate in the character changing that I was talking about so I wanted to get their opinion, but also allow anyone who has filtered out anti Jegulus to be able to avoid it! Tumblr is for everyone just wanted to make sure I could help people avoid sm they might not want to see.

Since I got back into the Marauders recently, I noticed a huge shift from what the fandom used to be.

(Yeah I am one of those ‘back in the old days’ people.)

Well essentially I noticed a huge shift into focusing on Slytherin canon Death Eater characters and erasing their backgrounds and characters and just making them one dimensional dolls and then making them kiss each other. Essentially there is not character development just new romantic relationships.

I think it is a disservice to ourselves and to writing and fanon for characters to be limited by sexuality and romantic relationships.

Taking Regulus for example (one of the most, imo, fleshed out least fleshed out character). He is a year younger than Sirius (canonically), so where does the difference in ideology between them come from (Sirius was against his family from the train ride). If we are switching canon to make it so that Regulus was only pretending to agree with his family, then what do we reason for him to become a DE (Walburga and Orion weren’t and not all DE’s were marked). If we are taking that away then is that even Regulus anymore or an OC.

What I am trying to say is that Regulus exists as a character, and by changing critical aspects of him (naive, obsessive, possessive and malleable) just to make him fit a ship we effectively change Regulus to Reggie and at that point it would be better to just create an OC so that actual Regulus is there for canon compliant (even tertiary) exploration.

(Before someone says ‘why don’t you just make your own headcanons and let people do what they want’ I want to remind that we work in a community and the popular hcs are what I personally have to interact with even if I don’t want to)

If you disagree please feel free to interact in a calm and civil manner :)
