what kind of books/movies do you see everyone reading/watching???
I love yapping about books and films, anon, how did you know?
Okay AHHHHHHH so many thoughts. I'm going to include modern films though
Remus - I think he loves Lord of the Rings (both the films and the books) and some Greek Mythology classics like The Odyssey and The Iliad
Sirius - Boy doesn't read. What's a book? Films though, I think he likes a good action film. Maybe something like Bullet Train with some comedy in there, or like John Wicke and he spends who whole time like "Keanu looks so good in a suit, don't you think?" and stares until you agree.
James - James says that he likes films like Blade Runner, but when he's home alone he's watching Krrish. I could see him being into Star War too. In terms of books, I think he prefers non-fiction or maybe like a sci-fi book, idk too much about those.
Peter - As a kid, he was reading Goosebumps like there was no tomorrow and loved the Swiss Family Robinson. I think he'd also like Star Wars with James and maybe Indiana Jones. I could see him enjoying Stand By Me and The Goonies as well, he's be really into classic 80s movies.
Lily - Anne of Green Gables all the way. I think she got called Pippi Longstocking when she was younger and has refused to have anything to do with it since. Lily would love the tv show Anne with an E. I think she likes watching the LotR films with Remus because she loves the women but would complain that they don't have enough to do. She's also a lover of Wuthering Heights, I feel. And The Princess Bride.
Mary - OUR ROMCOM QUEEEENNN!!! Her favourites are Clueless, The Notebook, The Proposal and whenever she watches Love Actually she gets irrationally angry at Harry before he's even done anything to hurt Karen, it's just a vibe. She reads those smutty romance books with the cartoon covers, but also loves Janes Austen like Emma and Pride and Prejudice. She's also into Eve Babitz and Joan Didion I feel.
Marlene - She reads a lot of biographies and autobiographies. One time someone caught them reading Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter and they hated all men for two weeks, even James who she was normally friends with. I think films...I want to say Bend it Like Beckham but that feels so obvious. She can also recite a lot of The Devil Wears Prada but that's their girlfriend's fault. Marlene could probably be a horror film buff? That seems kinda fun.
Dorcas - Like I just mentioned, The Devil Wears Prada. I think she also likes period romances like the 2005 Pride and Prejudice and Atonement. She'll also watched Bend it Like Beckham...and there is absolutely no link between those three films that would explain why she likes them. In terms of books, I think she would enjoy some Stephen King, her and Marlene have a joint love for The Shining and Carrie.
Pandora - I've been thinking about this and I think Pandora would be a big fan of Guillermo Del Toro's film Pan's Labyrinth. Maybe also The Dark Crystal? In terms of books, I think she let Marlene borrow her copy The Bloody Chamber but she also likes Maya Angelou.
Regulus - Motherfucker is so pretentious. He is reading Russian novels and glares at anyone who calls him out for it. I think if Regulus watching films, he's watching very deep and thoughtful films, ones that either aren't particularly popular but are good for discussion. I couldn't name one though so π
Barty - No.
Evan - I think he could be into horror novels or like psychological thrillers. The first one that came to mind was I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid, but I think he could fuck with The Picture of Dorian Gray which doesn't fit the same vibe but it makes since to me I think. Also medical journals and books about the human body. I've said previously that I think Evan would really like films like Martyrs and The Idiots and I stand by that. Maybe also Un Chien Andalou.
Xenophilius - I mentioned earlier in this post that I think Xeno fucks with folk stories so that's what he'd be reading. Maybe like a classic dystopian such as 1984? I am struggling with films though, I genuinely have no idea.

As a sacrifice on the cross to deal with our sin
Jesus comes not merely to show us the enormous scale of our sin for which judgment could rightly befall us. He comes also to bear our punishment through the priestly act of atoning for us, offering his own body as a sacrifice on the cross to deal with our sin, once for all (Eph. 5:2). On the cross Jesus bears not merely the anger and malice of the Romans and his own people, who hammer nails through his hands and feet and mock him as he hung there; far more profoundly, he bears the fiery wrath of God against the sin of all his peopleβpast, present, and future. As a result, Jesusβ resurrection is the first-fruits of a new exodus in which he leads his people out from sin and death and hell and into the glorious heavenly inheritance he has prepared for them. ~ Iain M. Duguid

OC intro pt seven!
Feel free to send story asks or headcannon asks! Iβd love to write them!
James Fires
I have already written a βpageβ for him, I just thought I would be a good idea to put the link here since he will be mentioned.

Picrew
Benjamin Stolle
Ben is Jamesβs acquaintance, not friend, he used to work as a police officer and self defense trainer before being βrecruitedβ but him. He is about four years older than him but knows that he is no match for the other manβs mind, through he can overpower him in a physical fight. Ben is resigned to the fact that he will always be confused by what James does and says, and he basically just goes along with it. However, he does draw the line at murder and wonβt be anywhere near James when he hurts someone. He owns a cat with James named Bink. He wears cheaply made clothing, though, unlike James, he does try to put effort into his appearance. His eyes are a warm brown and his hair is a dirty blonde color.

Iain Atonal
Iain works as a english professor at a university. He is very enthusiastic and always makes his lessons interesting by cracking jokes, bouncing around the classroom, and using odd examples. Though some students find this very annoying and dislike his class, most love it. Iain also has a bad habit of getting himself into trouble. Oh, itβs dark outside and you may get mugged walking home? Okay, walk home with earbuds in not paying attention to anything. Leo always has to be the one to save him. He also tends to get very protective over things he deems as unfair or cruel. Which leads to Leo needing to bail him out of jail when he assaults a bully to save a kid. He has a pessimistic cat named Sage and a puppy named Coco. He loves the color (or lack of? Or perhaps all of?) white and wears mostly light or pastel color clothing. His eyes are a pale blue color and his hair is a dyed silver.
Leon Fires
Leo is a mathematics professor at a university and works alongside Iain. He is more laid back but good at explaining things and very helpful. Leo is very formal and gets to the point quickly without much joking or getting distracted, though once you get to know him he is much more open to joking around and wasting time, great for Iain. He is used to having to bail Iain out of jail and/or getting him out of other troublesome situations, that doesnβt mean he doesnβt get annoyed every time that happens though. Even if Iain always pays him back. Leo normally wears rather formal attire, he has warm brown eyes and dark brown hair.
Eric Crowther
Eric is a history professor at a university and works alongside Iain and Leo. He was one of the first friends the two were able to make when they took the job. Eric is kind and gentle and very highly regarded by his students and peers. He is patient, friendly and always ready to helpβ¦ so he makes us think. Eric Crowther is a collector who will do anything and everything to get what he wants. He is fascinated by every part of American history and determined to find and complete his collection of βancientβ artifacts. This includes a knife belonging to one James Fires. When he is looking for an item to add to his collection he is sadistic and ready to fight for what he βneedsβ. Eric normally wears a trench coat and wide brimmed hat, he has black hair and brown eyes with flecks of blue in them.
