YOOJUNG behind the scenes of 1st look vol.246

[outromoony]

I don't think people who don't like Jily get Lily like I do because she was abandoned by two of the people she loved the most in the world: her big sister, Petunia, who gave up on her just because she was different and was most definitely envious of her, and her childhood best friend, Severus, who she had always found comfort in when things weren't right but ultimately chose his blood supremacy beliefs over their shared love and pain. And then there's James Potter, who despite everything (despite Lily purposely pushing him away for years) never gave up on her. Instead, he grew into the kind of person who could stand by her side. Even until the end, he gave up his last breath to defend her and their son because he loved her more than life itself. And that’s why Jily is so wonderful: because James was everything Lily needed but never thought she’d have.

Some pretty people

[itsriotmotherfuckers]

Padfoot curled around Remus while he reads, head in his lap, keeping him nice and toasty, and snarling at the kids who tried to call him “Loony Lupin” or anything else. Padfoot lying across James’ legs, on his back, while he does homework, barking to startle people for fun when they walk by. Padfoot sitting on Effie’s feet, warming them up while she knits, napping, listening to music on the record player. Padfoot balled up next to Monty on the couch, listening to him read the papers aloud and then work on his crosswords. Padfoot lying in bed next to Peter, demanding scratches while he works on homework, nuzzling him lightly whenever he seems stressed. Just… Padfoot being an overprotective, massive dog that likes to take care of his humans and be a cutie (he’s the size of a black bear, most people actually think he’s terrifying).

i find it strange that it’s a huge headcanon in the fandom that lily and james ‘rushed’ into marriage just because james got lily pregnant like.. c’mon.

they both knew they wanted to get married before they even had sex, maybe two or three dates into their relationship. and it’s absolutely terrifying when you realise that the person you’re holding hands with really is the person you’re meant to spend the rest of your life with even though you’re only seventeen and being married isn’t something that has ever crossed your mind because there’s a war going on and you don’t know if you’re gonna even make it to twenty.

but yeah. yeahhh. that’s exactly what happened to james and lily potter. they found a soulmate, a life partner in one another, and they couldn’t wait to get married and do it all together; to share a vow and a future and a home, to live under one roof and be there for each other through it all, to become one and to grow together.

and they weren’t held back by the same struggles that usually hold back other pairs of lovers; they were financially stable, and they’d both completed their education and were in the same stages of their lives. nothing stood in their way. they were ready to get married the moment they’d left hogwarts.

so no, they didn’t rush. it wasn’t because of an unexpected baby or a war haunting them; they didn’t get married because they thought they were running out of time. they got married because they couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their lifetimes together.

(they had no idea they were running out of time.)

Just a reminder that Lily and James are soulmates. <3

Destined to meet in every universe. <3

Born meant for a collision. <3

They’re a rare phenomenon. <3

There’s only a few other occurances of similar phenomena but they’re not soulmates - Tonks’ patronus changed to Remus, Snape’s patronus was Lily. That was closer to obsession than the pure cosmic twins that Lily Evans and James Potter are. It could not have been a shock to anyone to learn that a world-changing prophecy is made about their son.

They were always going to be someone important to each other, they weren’t chained to a pre-written romance. Their romance is entirely their own, and it’s unimaginable how much love they had because it’s something otherworldly.

If they were to be separated by death, neither Lily or James would ever fall in love again. They’re that cutesy.

lily who leans in closer to james while he does his homework (something he never does bc he doesn't need to) to whisper "good job" into his ear. and james who lights up like a christmas tree, who flushes so bad you can see it on the other side of the castle

[iheartmoons]

will never get over canon james potter drawing L. E. inside a snitch on his paper. he's the HP version of a girl drawing her initials w her crush's inside a heart. anyone who tells you that your sparkly glitter pen, romantic, sweetheart james potter isn't an accurate characterisation of him can go to hell.

jily is the type of couple whose friends would call them “mom and dad”

[mikalilys]

When I open the comment section on a jily post and all of it is hating on jegulus 😞

They’re the ones that complain about jegulus taking over and there not being enough jily content, but when there is all they comment is “finally not jegulus” “keep up the jegulus hate” like maybe you should sit down and think about the fact that, everyone commenting hate about jegulus on a post about jily, is one of the reasons there’s not that much content about them anymore.

Like why are you thinking about jegulus more then actual jegulus stans??? I like both and I was like awww cute jily!! because I don’t spend enough time thinking about what i don’t like to hate it.

So yk maybe you’re the problem

Lily realizing she’d rather argue with James than laugh with anyone else and having an existential crisis.

I've been obsessed with drawing lily lately, so enjoy!

What if trophy-husband, stay-at-home-dad, wife-guy James and famous-chemist, working-mom, breadwinner Lily?

[neyney2010]

How James first tried to tell Lily he was in love with her:

He wrote a note.

While it should have been simple, it rlly wasn’t. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, because he did, but it was outright and he was terrified of coming off odd.

Then Remus suggested that he simply write it as “ily” so that he did. It felt like a good compromise.

Until he passed the note too Lily and she replied with “you missed a pretty important letter in my name Potter. I underestimated your stupidity”

The note said “ ily Evans”
