honestly love being in the marauders fandom, there are so many talented creators, especially fic writers. like i read popular fics from another fandom, and it just does not hit as hard as the masterpieces yall create over here. other ppl are getting emotional over stuff, and i don’t even bat an eye bc of the absolute tragedies the marauders have put me thru.

MY FIRST BIND ❤️

Something a little different...

I dived into bookbinding recently, and I love it!!

This is my first proper bind, and I'm so proud and happy with the outcome.

It's Crimson Rivers by Zeppazariel on Ao3 ❤️

I needed to get creative with the cover design because I have no cricut machine or this fancy foil to make a real cover and back design....

Well, things got messy, and my room looked like 'the arena' for some days, but it was worth it!!

Let me know what you think 💌

Follow me on Insta (if you want to): @p4perhug ❤️

Made a post about this before but this time they’re in actual dust jacket format. I’m just having trouble setting up the second one bc of the way those Canva elements work when you resize them 🫠

i just saw a post analyzing why 2023 has been the most profitable year for the hunger games franchise since 2015. and they didn’t once mention that crimson rivers ended last year. i say give credit where credit is due.

I predict that taylor swift's new album, 'The Tourtured Poets Department', is going to be so regulus black coded. his entire thing is being trapped and destroyed and hopelessly in love. he is our poet and, boy, was he tourtured.

I FOUND THE CRIMSON RIVERS PARAGRAPH WHERE JAMES TALKS ABT LOVE TO REG!!!!!

ITS A FEW PAGES IN TO THE CHAPTER CONVICTION.

' James frowns. "Regulus, love isn't... When I talk about love, I don't mean romantic love exclusively, you know that, don't you? Love is—it's not just romance. It's in... everything. Life. The breeze. Sunshine and snow. It's everywhere, in us and around us, even just...blood. Love can be blood, too. Blood spilt. Blood in our veins. Blood flowing in the people around us."

Regulus stares at him, his eyes a little wide, lips parted a bit. Honestly, it makes James feel ridiculously flustered. Regulus looks—well, there he is, a star, and he's starstruck.

James feels his stomach go all topsy-turvy from a sudden migration of butterflies, and he has to violently clear his throat before continuing. "What I mean to say is, no matter what the Hallows think, romantic love isn't some goal everyone should feel the need to meet. Some people don't feel that way, and that doesn't mean there's no love in their life. No one needs romantic love to be fulfilled as a person. Not everyone wants it, and then there are those who aren't ready, and all of it is okay. That doesn't mean there's an absence of love or that you're getting it wrong. You're not, Regulus, I promise."

"I know some people don't want it—romantic love, that is—and you're right to say that's okay, and that it's not required, but I—I do want—I—" Regulus halts, swallowing harshly, and James feels like his heart splinters a little bit. Regulus shakes his head abruptly, coughing. "Anyway, that's not—I'm not even getting the whole...love thing right from any angle, James. I'm—I'm genuinely shit at it."

"Regulus," James says softly.

"I don't know how to make people love me," Regulus croaks, "and I don't know how to love properly in return."

"I think you're being too hard on yourself," James tells him honestly. "Love isn't just something you say; more than anything, it's something you feel. If you feel it, then you're already doing it. And you feel it, Reg, I know you do. If for no one else, then for Sirius." '

I FINALLY FOUND IT 🙌

So happy rn. I js did the thing where you search on a computer for words with ctrl + f and then searched for love isn't lols

So proud of myself mwahahahahahaaaa

[keepmyh3art]

im still stuck here (chapter “brother” in crimson rivers)

[verastraea]

i think we, as a society, need more fanarts of crimson rivers sirius black and regulus black TOGETHER in the quarter quell. i BADLY need it. those two are badasses in the second arena and artists need to utilize it more!!
