“murder” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 312 words

“I want a crow.” Regulus announces as he passes the last of a joint back to James.

Regulus and James were bored. It’s a Sunday night, they don’t have any classes tomorrow, all their friends are busy, and James had a joint left over from the party last weekend.

One thing led to another and now Regulus is lying on his back on the floor with his hands in the air. He interlocks his thumbs and is flapping his hands like a bird.

“You want a what?” James giggles from where he’s lying on the couch.

“A crow.” Regulus repeats. “You know… like the bird.” He flaps his hands in James’ direction for emphasis.

“Why do you want a crow?”

“Because they’re really smart and if you’re going to get a bird, you should definitely get a crow.” Regulus tells him.

“Who said I wanted to get a bird?” James asks.

“I did! Right now. Aren’t you listening?” Regulus drops his hands and rolls on his side to look at James.

“Sorry, love. I thought you wanted a crow.” James smiles at him.

“We should both get crows. We should get a whole murder of crows!” Regulus says excitedly as he crawls towards the couch.

“You want to murder the crows?” James asks with wide eyes.

“No, silly, that’s what a group of crows is called.” Regulus giggles and climbs up on the couch to snuggle in beside James. “We should get a whole group of crows, and we can feed them, and they’ll bring us little gifts.” Regulus yawns and cuddles even closer to James.

“Will they, now?” James says sweetly and wraps his arms around Regulus.

“Yup. That’s what they do.” Regulus says but his words are slurred with sleep and his breathing evens out almost immediately.

James squeezes Regulus one more time before he also falls asleep and has a very weird dream about crows.

Pansy: Draco, what’s this big rash all over your chest?

Draco: Yeah, I think it’s Harry’s new beard. I also got one on my calf, my knee, my thigh, and my—

Pansy: All right, all right, Draco. Don’t draw me a picture

Ok this is probably gonna be controversial

Even though I generally don't mind the fanon marauders (i couldn't hate them more but also idc, let ppl hv fun), i think it's a very interesting phenomenon. Don't get me wrong, i definitely don't conflate what ppl enjoy in fiction with real life, but imo it's rather interesting to see how our values and worldview influences the literature we produce and consume (otherwise it wouldn't be necessary to completely change the marauders' personalities in the first place)

Generally, i think it's just that ppl want to impose current day values and trends on the characters they grew up with and thus have a great degree of nostalgia for, seems lyk a perfect mix. And most ppl probably don't want deep, complex and heart breaking stuff in something they view as recreation. And that unconventional ships are fun in general. The entire thing is just silly fun

But also, i think the specific characterization of the marauders as one dimensional social justice warriors who are completely correct all the time(to the point where they're justified in every wrong thing they do in the name of defending rights or sm shit) comes from the fact that a lot of ppl like to think of themselves in this way as well. There's no place for growth, correction or nuance, there's just good vs evil and right vs wrong. In the sense that they're the knights in shining armour and the rest of the world is purely evil. And this is just my opinion, but i think being an sjw is more of a cool fad now than anything else (particularly in the West). The purpose of what ur fighting for comes second to feeling good about yourself and having a superiority complex that comes with believing that ur completely, totally right with everything u say and do. The truth is, despite the fact that it's good to feel this way, i think literally no one is lyk this, no matter how accepting and empathetic they believe themselves to be. A lot of it is constantly questioning if ur doing the right thing and constantly critically analysing ur views and positions by trying ur best to see things from every perspective (or at least thts the way I see it). Everyone always has something they need to change. My point is, i think ppl hv a hard time accepting that those fighting for noble causes can still be wrong about other things and can still believe in the backward thinking of their time without being revolutionaries(a simple glance at history would have made this obvious but nvm) It obvs doesn't make it acceptable to the slightest but it is what it is, the younger generation learns from their mistakes and so on. This, imo, is particularly common amongst the more chronically online folks, those who see themselves as the ultimate upholders of justice. U can have assholes who are trying their best to do what is right while still being shitty in their own ways. Snape can save the world and represent the power of redemption while still being a pathetic and miserable person. James and Sirius can be extremely cruel bullies while still being brave and noble by risking their lives and fighting for the cause when they were barely out of school (particularly Sirius, given what he was raised to believe in). Regulus can still be honourable and brave for ultimately sacrificing his life in hopes of bringing down voldemort while still retaining the fact tht he was obsessed with a cult leader calling for genocide (and incidentally, we hv no proof tht regulus stopped believing in all his other prejudices before his death).

None of these characters need to be confined to the 'a part of the LGBT community- or homophobic' binary to categorise them into good and evil, in the sense that the uwu marauders and Slytherin skittles (who were literal DEs in canon) are always the good ones and Snape gets the rear end of the stick. Plus being a part of the LGBT community doesn't automatically make ur character interesting,complex, or better, neither does it need to be their entire personality..imo this idea isn't as progressive as it's made out to be and isn't the representation ppl think it is.

These are thoughts haphazardly floating around in my brain and I cannot write a satisfactory and conscise conclusion to save my life, so, uhh, feel free to fill in lmao

I was just reading GoF and one little thing caught my attention... In the second chapter of the book, when Harry writes a letter to Sirius talking about how his scar started hurting out nowhere, he mentions that Dudley throw his PlayStation out of the window.

I thought that the Playstation videogame was from the early 2000's since is when I got the chance to see one for the first time. I did a quick research and apparently it was realeased on December '94 in Japan, but only September '95 in Europe.

So, accordingly with the school calendar, it wouldn't be possible for Dudley to have one of those since Harry started Hogwarts in '91, so this would set Goblet of Fire in 1994, right? And Harry goes to school in September, and all of this happened probably on August or prior.

How Dudley had a brand new videogame that only came out on December that year?

Am I missing something??

I'm not familiar with the school calendar of European schools, on my country is very different, so if someone could enlighte me on this, I'll be very happy!

SO interesting that scabbers attacks crabbe when malfoy threatens to hurt harry (and ron) after telling him that he’d meet the same sticky end as his parents

[oulix]

My squib lore is that they have magic but it's limited to one specific type of magic... Filch's one type is having a familiar bond with Mrs Norris while the Weasleys' squib accountant has Arithmancy skills.

I realised that with Lockhart's skill in Obliviation but failures in all other sorts of magic, you could write a Lockhart-oriented story in which he's a clever squib who uses mental magic to work his way through school, Confounding and Obliviating his professors and peers into thinking he's passing his classes. Then, of course, he makes use of those same skills throughout his career, hunting down people who have managed amazing feats and Obliviating entire villages to get credit for them.

Perhaps the reason he wanted to get into the adventures and heroism thing in the first place was the attitudes against squibs in the wizarding world. Maybe he had a chip on his shoulder about not being able to do much magic, so he wanted everyone to think he was some hypercompetent paragon of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Could be fun to explore his character more, but I doubt I'll end up writing this, so if anyone wants to, feel free.

Stop it!!! HE'S SO CUTE! HE LOST TWO (2) POINTS and he's so worried about it!

Ron's cute too, they are at that point where they aren't exactly friends so he has to ask Harry if he can go too. A couple of months and he will be in his "if you try to hurt my Harry you'll have to hurt me first" era. An era that lasts a lifetime because this is a Ron Weasley Defense Squad account.

The Knight Bus meets the Catbus. Sometimes destiny looks a lot like driving in the same direction. I don't know. I can't explain this one.

Rec: A love story between the catbus and the knight bus told from the perspective of neurodivergent Stan Shunpike! this fic is absolutely the sweetest thing and your daily reminder that there’s no such thing as too weird — the weirder your story is, the greater the reason you should tell it 💜

I think the one thing everyone who likes and dislike James can agree on is we all laughed when Harry said "my dad didn’t strut and nor do I!"

Like sweet boy you don’t know shit sit down💀

Right 😭 like Harry I get that it’s your dad and all but you’re looking a little too confident here 💀
