#and remus doesn’t know this

[green-lights-33]

okay is Sirius saying “I hate you” in the beautiful gif you’ve made?? Cause not knowing is driving me crazy and at first I thought it was “I love you” but it’s giving more enemies to lovers vibes I think and once I saw the first option I can’t unsee it:((( your latest art is gorgeous as always, I hope you’re having a lovely day:)

hehe ‘i hate you’ works buuuut.

he is actually saying: ‘I do’.

it took quite a bit of time just cause i’m very new to animation (involving lots of me sitting at my desk repeatedly jerking my head back and forth to try and work out what way hair moves) so anyway i came up with a whole scene in my head haha and that is what sirius’ reply to remus is.

[lexithwrites]

Pls make Remus kinkier its always the quiet ones

[one-eternal-sigh]

lily absentmindedly plays with mary’s curls while she lies on her lap idly flipping through magazines in their dorm, always looking at her in a way that was so helplessly fond that mary didn’t dare look back, because she didn’t want to hope.

(she isn’t usually scared, but lily does this to her, scares her with the intensity of her own want and the terrifying possibility of it being mirrored in lily’s own)

[mwppp]

i love lie low at lupin’s because what! am i suppose to believe that remus had two bedrooms! no!! there was one bed! i know it! everyone knows it! and now there’s implications there’s scenarios! theres healing and there’s sharing the bed in the middle of summer! the middle of summer!

[mourningliliesmorningglories]

Remus: (panicking) No, Sirius - please don’t.

Sirius: It’s no use Remus; we’ve got to have it out.

Remus: No, no, we don’t...

Sirius: I’ve loved you ever since I’ve known you Remus – I couldn’t help it, and you’ve been so good to me – I’ve tried to show it but you wouldn’t let me; now I’m going to make you hear and give me an answer because I can’t go on like this any longer.

Remus: I wanted to save you from this, I thought you’d understand.

Sirius: (not listening to him) I’ve worked hard to please you, and I gave up pranks and smoking and everything you didn’t like, and waited and never complained for I hoped you’d love me, though I’m not half good enough –

Remus: Yes, you are, you’re a great deal too good for me, and I’m so grateful to you and so proud of you, I don’t see why I... I can’t love you as you want me to.

Sirius: You...can’t?

Remus: (helplessly) I can’t change the feeling and it would be a lie to say I do when I don’t. I’m so sorry, Sirius, so desperately sorry, but I can’t help it...

[Sirius backs away from him like Remus hit him.]

Sirius: I can’t love anyone else.

I NEED YOUR PETER CHARACTER ESSAY ANALYSIS ASAP.

my peter pettigrew exists mostly in terms of gender transgression 🐀. i feel that the specific kind of envy he holds for james — the mingled love & admiration, the longing, the wistful psychosexualism of it— it’s the kind of jealousy that young girls feel towards other girls.

peter is more complex in his longing than someone like severus! he’s more cynical about it! because peter doesn’t even necessarily want to BE james anymore, he’s known for a very long time that it’s impossible, all he wants is to subsume him. it’s like— 19th century sapphic vampire romance levels of psychosexual. Carmilla levels.

because the tragedy of it is that he loves james! not even romantically: peter KNOWS him, better and longer than anyone else. and the insane duality of that love is slowly driving him mad.

peter might be the most romantic character in canon to me. he’s the only marauder that knows they’re all doomed! he gave up the idea he could ever be normal about james a long time ago, but he also can’t not be around him, because he loves him. so he’s resigned to giving his entire life away - just wants to be near him, let it consume him, let it ruin them both! let them burn up with it!

it’s shakespearean in the scope of it. it’s the slow horror of this psychosexual envy overtaking him, extinguishing all that he cares about. not wanting to hurt someone and being unable to let them go.

and i think he’s pretty. these are thin actors and my peter is fat but i picture his facial structure all mousy & angelic like these two:

thinking about everyone finding out about jegulus because James’ boggart is Regulus dying

[itsriotmotherfuckers]

Trans!Regulus makes makes sense to me for a few reasons, honestly.

For one, it explains why it took so long for Sirius to be disowned. We know that the House of Black had very old values, so I can picture them not being accepting of trans people and not wanting a “woman” to be in charge. We know they disowned easily— think about Alphard— but they didn’t get rid of Sirius until he ran away. I could picture them keeping Sirius around to try and have a viable heir.

For two, it would give motivation for Regulus to rethink things. In the end, he did betray Voldemort, but, before that, he was wholly devoted to the cause. Maybe the reason he rethought things is because he realized he didn’t fit the mold, causing him to ask questions, before he figured it out and backtracked.

For three, I just like trans characters. Fuck JKR, she deserves to be pissed off by us making characters trans. I’d make Regulus trans if only to make her upset.

i love peter pettigrew no one can take him away from me

[lynsstrange]

I think one of my biggest unanswered questions about the Marauders/HP in general is how Peter even ended up in Gryffindor in the first place.

Obviously I’m gonna be talking about canon here, not headcanons that he was manipulated or tortured into joining the death eaters (which I also feel erases crucial thematic intention. But that’s a conversation for another day). I’m talking about the dead-set canonic facts that he spied on his best friends who trusted him, sold them out, and then hid as a rat for twelve years.

Peter is established, from start to finish throughout the entire series, as an opportunist with no moral backbone.

He’s friends with James, Sirius, and Remus at least in part because they are popular, and he wants to be protected and respected by proximity. During the war, the second their side isn’t doing too hot he takes the side that he feels is safer, with no regard for the people he called his friends for a decade. He sets up an entire ploy he knows will end with two of them dead and the other in prison for life. When he transforms back in POA, the first thing he does in desperation is prey on Sirius and Remus’ previous care for him and Harry’s good nature to try and manipulate his way to being shown mercy. The second he has a window of opportunity he flees again.

He’s killed by the magical hand Voldemort gave him because he hesitates to kill Harry. But even this was out of guilt, obligation and a presumable unawareness that the hand would turn on him for even pausing a moment. We don’t know if he would have still fought Harry after hesitating had it not killed him. So I wouldn’t call it bravery.

So, start to finish in the series, none of Peter’s on-screen actions even remotely point to somebody who embodies traits of selflessness and courage. So how does someone whose character can most simply be summarized into “cowardly” in one word end up in the house for the brave?

Does it all really boil down to his barely semi-heroic death? Probably not. Is it just an inconsistency in the story, because jkr needed Peter to be close enough to the rest of the Marauders to have James and Lily trust him with their lives? There are a few examples of plotholes where the marauders are concerned, so it’s not entirely unlikely. But I don’t think so, because as I’ll get into, there was clearly some thought put into how he was sorted by jkr.

My biggest theory is that Peter chose to be put in Gryffindor. Harry confirms that personal choice has sway in where the sorting hat places you at the end of the deathly hallows. And of course, based off everything we know about him, it makes sense that Peter would like to be placed in one of the more reviled houses, the one where the bravest heroes go. We know the sorting hat was in a hat stall between that and slytherin, and jkr purposefully wrote for such a rare occurrence to happen during his sorting. So maybe the ultimate decision came down to Peter’s desire to be placed in Gryffindor, rather than Slytherin and it’s somewhat negative reputation.

But even then, wouldn’t Peter have had to exemplify some brave qualities for it to even consider Gryffindor an option? And, frankly, we never see him make a decision that’s not self motivated in canon (if you have examples to prove otherwise lemme know). So did it all purely come down to his will to be placed in Gryffindor?

That’s my best guess, but it’s still very interesting to me how much of an oxymoron his character is: the cowardly gryffindor.

what wolfstar have is stronger and more special than what most canon Harry Potter couples have

[addsalwayssick]

listen; i am all for you not like a ship, or a character, or preferring a canon characterization. but i am not all for being hate into this word for someone who does like this ship or character. now, i’m not a fan of snape, but i don’t care if you are. i may ask why and give counterpoints, but if you don’t want that feel free to tell me. i. dont. care. people connect to different characters because we’re human. maybe you connect to snape because you said something you regretted to a friend and now you’ve lost them, i don’t know. but i will never dislike you or hate on you because you like him. i may not agree, but that’s not your problem. if you don’t like james, i expect you to hold the same regards for me. you don’t have to like james, but i do. i won’t judge you for disliking james. if you don’t like jegulus, that’s fine, you don’t need to. it’s not for everyone, but it is NOT okay to call it a stupid ship, or the people who ship it stupid. it is not okay to take something that people connect with and try to destroy it just because you don’t like it. i will not tolerate that near me, and you will be blocked. if you don’t like something, THAT IS OKAY!! you don’t have to like everything. maybe remadora felt weird to you! me too! but if people love remadora and feel like they connect with that ship, why on earth would i try and argue agaisnt it? or maybe you connect with sirius black, and i come over and be like ‘well in canon he’s actually very manly and tall and he didn’t really care about leaving his family and-‘ that’s not very kind, is it?
