#also if it is the marauders fandom that started this

[jupitereater]

what the fuck is up with all the jegulus hate. you want jily? you want your canon-complaint jkr-written heterosexual ships? then write about them!! but ranting in another ship’s tags? accusing people of “forcing female characters to be wlw”? some of these people saying this shit are queer too, maybe you should do some self-reflection on why you feel like the only reason why people would enjoy sapphic ships is to “justify” an mlm ship. that’s so beyond fucked up jfc.

it’s a cute ship. people like it. “it’s not realistic”, “james would hate a death eater” have you heard of this little thing called drarry. it’s done some numbers i’m told. like i’m convinced that all the people who act like the death eater/hero trope is new started reading harry potter (or engaging in fandom) 2 months ago. welcome ig?? stick to your own lane, learn some fandom etiquette.

[uhhlifeig]

real tbh like... these are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS and they ARE NOT REAL

and dont even get me started on the people who hate on ships bc "iT woULDn't HaPpeN in CaNon" like bro these are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS in SITUATIONS that ARE NOT canon!! go play with your own fictional characters and leave other people's versions alone!!!

some of you cannot be the age you say you are because the way you react to fictional characters with such anger is jarring

i just saw a mainstream tiktok about the hunger games resurgence going on there at the minute and they didn’t know where it had come from

several comments were about crimson rivers and it shook me to see people who have NO IDEA about the marauders try to understand what it is

[lilithofpenandbook]

Seriously how can M*r*uders stans like random Slytherins (who tf are Evan Rosier, Pandora (is that Luna's mum and why tf is she Evan Rosier's twin in half of these), and I don't even want to discuss Regulus) and make them Actually Misunderstood Good People Who Were Forced Down That Path when at least one of them *coughreguluscough* was obsessed with Voldemort

And then turn around and make Snape an awful person?

drarry this, jegulus that

Understanding Snape and his character

I've been knee-deep in the Snape debate lately, and I’ve got some thoughts I need to lay out. Snape undeniably did some awful things as an adult, and he’s aware of that—he holds himself accountable and we should too. But his story isn’t just a straightforward tale of good versus evil.

Thinking about Snape, especially after diving into his memories in Deathly Hallows, it’s evident he was trying to make up for his past. When Snape begged Dumbledore to protect Lily and the Potters, it wasn't just a plea for safety—it was a glimpse into his desire for redemption and his need to atone because he knew he fucked up by relaying the prophecy. Dumbledore saw potential in him, not just as a spy, but as someone capable of change and redemption. Lily, the person he loves, being in danger and later dying, saved Snape and forced him to change. She was the catalyst for Snape's redemption arc and that's literally the whole point.

Then there’s Snape’s upbringing���a life marred by abuse at home and relentless bullying at school. That kind of trauma leaves deep scars; it molded Snape into a bitter and vindictive person. I can’t help but sympathize with him. He wasn’t born an asshole; circumstances shaped him that way. His journey from an abused home life to a bullied youth, to a Death Eater, and eventually to an antihero is a stark reminder of the complexities of human nature. It frustrates me to no end that people shower sympathy on abused characters like Harry, who turned out kind, yet refuse to extend the same empathy to Snape, who emerged bitter and vindictive—something so painfully realistic. Their situations were fundamentally different; Harry had a whole support system and was rich as fuck, but Snape had none and was living in poverty. Comparing them is unfair and misses the point entirely.

So when I see debates reducing Snape to a mere villain or hero, good or evil, I can’t help but feel we’re oversimplifying a deeply layered character. You can dislike Snape all you want, but painting him out to be something he's not, simplifying his character, and completely shitting on him is such an insult and a wrong interpretation of who he truly is. Snape’s morally grey journey through darkness and redemption is a testament to human struggle and growth. To truly understand Snape is to grasp his tumultuous path and his relentless quest to reconcile his actions with his conscience—a journey that resonates with the complexities of real life.

Okay guys I asked my twin sister if she had any thoughts on Rosekiller and she was thinking about it and said that I should look up the “If I were a kind of _______, then I’d be a _________” questions. And she was giving me examples of those type of questions and the SECOND THING SHE SAID was “Oh, you know, like if they were in the Hunger Games what district would they be from and stuff like that.”

When I tell you that I had flashbacks—

[floralembarrassment]

hello I love your writing, could you write wolfstar where Remus walked in on sirius changing and sees all the scars Walburga left

it's okay if not 🤗

hi you! i actually really like this request so I hope this does justice to your heart's desire. with love

Who? How? (1/1) (wolfstar)

Remus wasn't really sure what anyone was playing at making him a prefect. He thought it might have been an attempt to reign in the marauders, but Remus was just as mischievous as the rest of them. And having had a proper gay crisis over the summer, he really had to put on a hardened act to make it through. Coming back to school and now having to police the others wasn't really how he thought he'd spend his 5th year.

He did, however, enjoy the perks. He liked being able to wander the castle just after hours, letting the silence and majesty of the old castle settle in his bones as his steps echoed off the stone walls. He liked the little bit of power it gave him, even though he knew shouldn't; but he had had little control in his life so being able to exert some now was an adventure in itself.

He also, shamelessly, like the prefect bathroom. The glorious soaps and endless hot water that was always the perfect temperature, and the fluffiest towels in the building made for an excellent cure for his sore bones.

But maybe he liked it most because Sirius once followed him in there after a party and then may have drunkenly laughed for hours at the bubbles, and it may be the place that Sirius first told Remus he was beautiful, and it may be the place that Remus and Sirius first kissed.

Even though Sirius doesn't ever bring it up, the kiss at least, Remus was hard pressed to not give Sirius the password after he begged him for it.

And today, the prefect bathroom may be the place that Remus sees Sirius nearly bare for the first time. And it is absolutely the place where Remus' heartbreaks and his gut is wrenched when he sees the jagged lines, some white and faded, some red and a bit raw, that covered his back and legs.

Remus knew Sirius had scars, he couldn't hide the ones on his arms, but they were not nearly as bad as these. When Remus gasped, Sirius jumped. He didn't realize anyone was there and certainly didn't mean for anyone to see his wounds.

Sirius quickly grabbed his jumper covering himself, and trying to hide the fear in his eyes as Remus observed his body. He didn't know why he was afraid but he knew it would be bad for someone to find out where the marks came from. In his panic he stuttered, "oh Remus uh I'm didn't hear you come in..."

Remus just kept looking at him. Heat rose inside him, and anger filling every inch of his body, as he realized that he was looking at scars that looked just like his own, except those were not claw marks on Sirius' body. They were slashes. Whips. Cuts so deep they probably needed stitching and clearly had been stitched poorly.

"Sirius, who did this to you?" Remus said finally.

Sirius was glad he broke the silence, but hated the question used to break it.

"Don't ask me that," Sirius replied hoarsely.

Remus said taking a few steps forward. He reached out his hand and moved the jumper down. Sirius surprisingly let him.

"Pads, how did you get those?" Remus said, as he reached his hand. He wasn't touching but his fingers hovered over a large scar that tore diagonally across his stomach.

Sirius's heart was beating out of his chest and he was breathing hard. But despite the urges to fight or run or yell or accuse, Sirius had never felt so safe laid bare.

"Remus..." Sirius whispered.

Their eyes had remained locked until that point when Remus looked down at his fingers and Sirius' gaze followed. They watched the breath fill and deflate from Sirius' chest and after a shared breath, Remus ran his fingers over the pale white skin.

Remus didn't know what he was doing but he knew he felt destroyed inside. Someone had hurt Sirius, his Sirius, and there had been no one to protect him.

Sirius just breathed and let Remus caress him. He had never known such tenderness. Remus' fingers traced up and stilled over Sirius' heart, pressing his palm firmly on his chest to feel his raving heart slow under his gentle touch.

"I won't ever let anything like this happen to you again," Remus said.

And even though they were just boys, even though there was not any way that Remus could protect him from his mother's wrath and his father's fist, even though he knew he was a monster himself who could've been the one to cause those scars, both of them believed that promise.

And even though it couldn't be kept, it didn't stop Remus from trying and it didn't stop Sirius from falling in love with boy who saw him, recognized that he was precious, swore to protect him, and chose to love him back.

It's always wild to see people being like "you kids nowadays!" in fandom spaces and then you check their profile and they're like 25......girl shut up.

[astral-scout]

reading the iliad got me thinking that the marauders are like the greek/roman gods in this fandom. hear me out theyre like collective ocs that each have a set of traits that *most* people agree on, but otherwise you can do whatever you want with them . right?!!?

[roadkill111]

i gasped so loudly when receiving this text

[ghostbusterscantcatchme]

Hey!!! I wanted to ask what fandoms you're in? I think I know of a few, but I would love to see how many we have in common! I hope you're having a great day/night wherever you are <3

EVA!!!!!!!! HI !

I have so so many fandoms so here's a list of the ones I can think of right now. Not super active in all of them but, I do think about them a lot.

- Star Wars (currently rewatching all of the films and the clones wars in chronological order, Rogue One and Andor are my favourites though)

- DC (Batgirls, Teen Titans 2003, and Young Justice 1998 are my top comics but i’m slowly working my way through most of pre-crisis, also have watched Titans (netflix) and loved it (Brenton Thwaites did an amazing job of Dick Grayson))

- The Maze Runner (i could talk about the books and films for literal hours and never don’t think about them. my roman empire)

- Marvel (mainly mcu but also the ms marvel comics (Kamala is everything to me), also i watched the Hawkeye finale on xmas eve because its THE Christmas show to me)

- both Percy Jackson and Hero’s of Olympus of course (also Magnus Chase)

- Grishaverse (leigh bardugo is life)

- The Raven Cycle (everything about them i'm in love with and the writing is such an inspiration for me)

- Half Bad: the Bastard Son and the Devil Himself (all time favourite tv show, so mad it was cancelled)

- The Manifold Worlds by Foz Meadows (pretty sure the fandom consists of me and the author of the single fic on ao3)

- Outer Banks (it’s summer here so i’m thinking about them a lot, and also you were literally my motivation for finishing s3)

- the Hunger Games (ballad of songbirds and snakes is such a masterpiece and has transported me back to my hunger games self)

- the magnus archives (was really active last year but not so much anymore)

- a good girls guide to murder (I'm so excited for the show)

I NEED TO GIVE MORE KUDOS BECAUSE THEIR FIC IS IMPRINTED ON MY SOUL, IT TAKES UP SPACE IN MY MIND AND WITH EVERY BREATH I PRAY AND HOPE THAT I CAN READ SOMETHING EVEN CLOSE TO THE POETRY I CONSUMED

ONLY GOD ILL PRAY TO IS WHATEVER POSSESSED YOUR BODY AND WROTE THIS FIC.

[moltensmusings]

I haven't engaged in Ha/rry P/otter content in years. But for some reason, my fyp has decided I'm apparently a fan of the Marauders. Which is even more hilarious when you remember that even when I was a fan, I had 0 interest in them. Because boy groups are boring to me.
