#James ‘good old-fashioned lover boy’ potter deserved better

[messervixen]

Lily should have survived.

“Harry was saved by his mother’s love-“ Let me stop you right there.

I present to you: James Fleamont Potter.

You’re telling me that James didn’t love Lily and Harry enough to evoke the ancient love magic that Lily saved Harry with?

Mr. “Had an ego the size of a lake but a heart to match it?”

He loved both of them so much that he literally died trying to give them a chance to escape and that wasn’t enough?

I don’t buy it.

The only semi-logical explanation I can come up with is that he didn’t have his wand and maybe you can’t do something like that wand-less but did Lily have her wand?

Even then we’re talking about a guy who literally became an illegal animagus at the ripe age of 15.

He also loves and cares for people so deeply and it was LOVE MAGIC.

Look me in the eyes and tell me James Potter couldn’t have just saved BOTH of them without his wand.

Exactly, you can’t.

Honestly I could go on about all of the reasons James and Lily dying didn’t even make sense.

This is just another thing that makes me question why they died the way they did.

Them dying on an order mission would’ve been more realistic. There were just too many plot holes in them dying in Godric’s Hollow.

In conclusion, the ending of the first war didn’t make sense. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Edit:

Guys this post is not that serious I just mean that everything about what happened that night and the explanation for all of it felt like a stretch and kinda vague to me 😭

Even with the stuff about James not having a choice. Like yeah Voldemort didn’t verbally give him the option to back off but James still made the choice to try and hold him off.

Also James was a Pureblood and Voldemort made it known that he would spare them if they didn’t fight him because his whole thing was blood purity.

So like the “Lily was given a choice” still feels so vague to me.

Also Voldemort making the promise to Snape feels weird. Snape asked him not to kill Lily but Voldemort said that he wouldn’t as long as she didn’t get in his way. And Lily did get in his way of killing Harry so he didn’t break that promise by killing her.

Yeah he probably could’ve just knocked her out or something but he still didn’t break any promises.

And the whole reason Snape joined Dumbledore before the end of the first war is because he didn’t think Lily would just let Voldemort kill her son. He didn’t make an unbreakable vow or anything so Snape knew that Voldemort would probably kill Lily.

marauders but queen songs

OK I HAVE BEEN BRAINING THIS FOR AWHILE BUT PLEASE DEBATE IF YOU DISAGREE

james potter- good old fashioned lover boy

the title itself matches

the lyrics work SO well

james loves so much and he's there to woo and to be wooed and i love it.

sirius black- fat bottomed girls

ok so i heavily debated don't stop me now for pads, but the vibes of fat bottomed girls just worked well

its just hard to explain ok.

remus lupin- bohemian rhapsody

obvi his favourite would be something different but bohemian rhapsody works perfectly

the constant fear of hurting people

the poor boy imagery and his belief that he doesn't deserve love

THE FACT THAT FREDDIE MERCURY WROTE THIS SONG AS AN UNOFFICIAL COMING OUT SONG- the man he kills is the 'straight' him

the somewhat mad lyrics and the 'nothing really matters to me' especially hits with ATYD remus, the drugs business and then the later lack of care

peter pettigrew- we are the champions

originally thinking i'm in love w/ my car or bicycle race but i felt this worked better

the irony of canon peter being a champion with friends, and fighting to the end

fanon peter actually caring for people and fighting despite often being ignored. this song is considered really popular but when you think of popular queen songs, this doesn't always come to mind.

OK SO THATS MARAUDERS BUT I'LL ALSO DO THE SKITTLES + VALKYRIES
