[aidyaiden]

im currently rewatching the harry potter movies with my best friends, so far we've watched the first 4 movies and OHH MY GOD REMUS AND SIRIUS AND MOTHERFUCKING BARTY AND I MIGHT BE GOING CRAZY

[pandoraistheloml]

at this point I think I’m just a weird mixture of all the marauders. Like every part of me can somehow relate to one of these twinks.

[marsabillions]

evan rosier who struggles to feel like he has any exceptional talent or intellect and whose closest relationships are eccentric ravenclaws pandora and barty crouch jr

It will forever piss me off that people need to make one part of rosekiller some uwu feminine soft boy when they’re literally the most dudebro ship out there

[maladaptivewriting]

you know how when you read smut, you can instantly tell whether the author has had sex or not?

well the same thing is true for people who have or have not been a part of big friend groups, especially in their teen years

[viviandarkbloombartylusversion]

And what if I said that the slytherin skittles/pantheon were theater kids???

Evan is strictly working backstage and has never been in a production but he's a great rehearsing partner

Dorcas has only been in one or two productions, absolutely adoring working in costumes and props

Pandora has been in the most productions, auditioning for every play and musical and everyone she works with loves the vibe she brings to rehearsals

Barty has also been in a lot of productions, but his favorites are the ones where Regulus also has a part

Regulus has been in a decent number of productions, his favorites to be in are tragedy's and he loves being on stage the most when his friends are too, he's the most trusted when it comes to help casting and even though they don't really see the light of day, he writes his own plays that he lets the group act out just for fun

“how can you not like Snape but like Regulus, Barty, and Evan?”

Because, in my mind, Snape was a bitch (derogatory), and Regulus, Barty, and Evan were bitches (affectionately)

I hate fanon-ization of Lily, James, Regulus and Barty (Evan, Dorcas, Marlene etc. are literally only mentioned in the books, there is nothing to mis-characterize)

Lily is side-lined for a non-existent, non-sensical ship (yeah, I hate jegulus), her Muggle origin is overlooked even though it played a MAJOR role in her life (heck the entire Marauders era takes place during the war against a wizard-supremacist, Muggle-hater and his racist followers). Her relationship with Snape and how his words and newly found ideologies affected is completely overlooked when he was her only magical friend during her entire childhood. Her relationship to her son? (yk, that one thing that set the entire series in motion...) - pfft, don't be silly, she is just a surrogate to James and Regulus.

James is portrayed as a ray of sunshine, good boy whose biggest sin was being a bit sarcastic. No, he WAS an arrogant asshole who mercilessly bullied another student simply for his own enjoyment. Yet he was also incredibly loyal man who didn't hesitate to share his home with his friend after he ran away from home and who grew out of his arrogant phase and changed himself for better because of a woman he loved (loved so much he died protecting her and their son later).

Regulus is portrayed as an edgy yet kind-hearted little aristocrat boy whose parents forced him into being a Death Eater - no, he wasn't pressured into becoming anything, Regulus for the longest part of his life WAS a Voldemort supporter. He collected newspaper articles about Voldemort, he talked to Kreacher about how great Voldemort is and how great his ideas were - yes, he realized later he was wrong but it doesn't suddenly mean he was pressured into anything.

Barty is portrayed as a silly little babygirl who has an IQ of goldfish. No, he was one of the smartest characters with multiple talents but was also a mentaly-unstable young man (Azkaban/Dementors have horrific influence on everyone but while other Death Eaters managed to last 10+ years there he was already on his death-bed in a year and started to scream for him mother the same day he was brought in) who went completely insane and evil by the end and craved for father figure so deeply he was ready to become a murderer/torturer to get one. His manipulativeness and sadism? Non-existent in fanon...

In the end... I truly dislike the overall state of "Marauders era" fandom - like, they are a generation impacted by war and ever-changing politics who essentially needed to choose a side while they were still children, some betraying their families and loved ones - and then you try seeing stuff in Marauders fandom and they are turned into edgy teens who all wear crop-tops and black nail polish, listen to Taylor, go to Starbucks and talk in a Tik-Tok slang....

[serenisastar]

Marlene and Barty would match each others freak guys

[bloodbruise]

Evan fucking regulus on the bed and barty and James jerking each other off, watching entrances as their boyfriends fuck

every time i open my inbox its like that tiktok audio "what is it finna play.... WOAH"

[wolvesandshine]

Also just realised I should have probably mentioned this ages ago but feel free to give me any writing prompts to write (only for the marauders era as of now tho)

Once the war really started to bubble i think the slytherin skittles knew their friendship would crumble, but they stayed together until they couldn’t anymore because they were all each other knew.

[moonyswarmsweaters]

See I don’t think The Slytherin skittles would be friends with Snape. He is so fake and they would not respect that.

[starlittragedies]

i need a black brothers (probably modern) angst au wherein they had just reconnected and sirius wants to be selfish… like growing up he was regulus’ whole WORLD then he ran away and they never got to talk again up until now.

now where regulus had managed to find friends, friends who became his family, friends whom he treated as his siblings, friends who had seen different phases in life that sirius will only get to see in pictures.

and now that sirius is back in his brother’s life, he wants to be selfish. he wants to be the only one regulus seeks when he needs anything like a laugh, a shoulder to cry on, a person to tell his rants to, a person who would give him good but harsh advice… but the thing was he already had that in the form of barty, pandora, evan, and dorcas, and he could never can compete with them. never.

when his mind brings this up all he could say in response was that “maybe this is what regulus had felt before i left”

[multishipperofgaydeadwizards]

barty and evan have tea parties with luna a lot. regulus calls them childish and doesn't join in... one time he does, and both evan and barty correct him on how he drinks the tea and just his behavior in general

safe to say he never joins again

[andyxcds]

okay imagine this: Evan and Pandora started their loc journey as kids together, as cousins. and i think barty takes an off day to take care of his two best friends. Regulus tried but his fingers got wrinkly and he didn't like it at all. but Barty is devoted to learning about Evan's hair and he helps bleach it regularly.

now Barty can retwist evans locs and gives great tapers🥰
