#i mean wormtail

[maxdibert]

I find it curious that you say that about Snape when:

1. Barty Crouch, posing as Moody, physically and psychologically tortured his students.

2. He was the main culprit of Neville being traumatized for life, as he tortured his parents into insanity.

3. He’s a homicidal psychopath and Voldemort’s most loyal follower.

And if we talk about Pettigrew, don’t you think it’s a bit cynical to say we know almost nothing about him in canon? The guy betrayed his friends and sold them out to Voldemort. He got another friend imprisoned for 12 years and accused of mass murder. Later, he was a bootlicking sycophant to Voldemort. I think we know enough about both of them in canon to see they were pieces of trash.

It seems pretty simplistic to dislike Snape over trivial things like being an unpleasant teacher or insulting his friend during a moment of post-traumatic stress when the guy spent almost 20 years risking his life to take down Voldemort. Calling Lily a “mudblood” after James bullied Snape to the point of sexual assault is unforgivable, but selling your friends out to a genocidal maniac isn’t? Peter is a cute puppy, but Snape is unpleasant? How does that make sense?

And calling James and Severus rivals? Rivalry is when you and I compete to be the best in class, not when I, as a rich pure-blood kid, chase you down the hallways with my best friend and strip you in front of the school. It’s not rivalry when I and my friends hunt you down when you’re alone to torment you in a group. That’s not rivalry; that’s bullying.

Sorry, but it seems quite cynical to dislike Snape for things he did as an adult, especially when the adult Slytherins or Pettigrew you adore were a hundred times worse. Literally, without Snape, it would’ve been impossible for Harry to defeat Voldemort. The others were pure psychopaths. And if we’re talking about their teenage years? The guy was a bullying victim, mocked for being ugly and poor. Sorry, but looking favorably at his bullies, even at those who became homicidal maniacs and torturers, while condemning him has strong undertones of classism, victim-blaming, and body-shaming.

I couldn’t care less about fanon, especially the current Marauders fanon, which has turned them all into a bunch of clowns that seem ripped from a cheap Gen Z teen drama. Any resemblance to the real Marauders is purely coincidental because they have nothing to do with the canon characters. But don’t try to sell me the idea that Snape isn’t liked because of what he did as an adult to justify his ostracism in the fandom when you’re fans of characters who, as adults, were pure psychopaths. Snape might not have been the easiest or most likable person, but he was literally a key piece in saving the damn world. Without him, Harry would’ve died in his first year. In fact, he would’ve died before that because if Snape hadn’t asked Voldemort to spare Lily, she wouldn’t have had the chance to cast the ancient magic to protect Harry, which required Voldemort offering her a chance to live.

And honestly, if you don’t want to be called out, make sure those of us who are fans of Snape don’t see these kinds of posts because it’s a bit exhausting to constantly see him sidelined or banned from the fandom while pieces of trash like Wormtail are turned into adorable puppies.

"how can you like barty and evan but not snape?" "how can you like peter but not snape?" silly rosekiller and wormtail visions came to me in my sleep, and i simply didn't have such visions of snape. will update if i see him as a boykisser in my dreams and it alters the way i see him :)

I firmly believe that Harry first word was Padfoot. Sirius cried. James couldn't stop smiling.

[stonnedparrott]

Watching movies with popular marauders clips in them feels like watching a two hour long edit.

[losver07]

here's the marauders getting their newt results cause i am at a point where i do not want to receive my test markings lol

sirius: i don't want to open it. i will not open it. moons you do it, just don't tell me if it's bad

remus: but you'll know it's bad 'cause i won't say anything

sirius: oh so you assume it's going to be bad?

remus: um... no?

james: uuuugh guys come on it's just paper and ink. look, i'll go first okay?

james: *opens his envelope*

james: HEY THAT'S NOT FAIR

pete: oh god we're all going to die, we're all dead, what if i am dead and this is my punishment what did i do to deserve this it's because i didn't recycle that one time is it oh no oh no oh nononono

sirius: is it... is it that bad?

james: YES, it is. i got a B- charms, i think i'm going to cry

remus: B-! that's good! i was about to have a heart attack you dramatic prat

sirius: dramatic huh? go ahead moony, open yours

remus: oh you must be fucking dreaming honey, i will burn this paper down and throw myself into the fire with it before taking a look at it

sirius: want me to look for you?

remus: please

peter: look mine too sirius please i think i'm about to puke

[daddysclownboy]

Sirius *T posing on the escalator*

James *holding onto him and singing the music from titanic very badly and loudly*

Remus *dying of shame*

[the-sun-is-also-a-star]

yk considering the whole werewolf thing, there's very little traditional a/b/o in the marauders fandom

[ttroubledwaters]

no I wasn't that busy actually I left you on seen cause I was making hot apple cider when you sent that and I left our chat open and forgot to reply so I was reading fan fiction for the last few hours. wasn't even really thinking about you either, I just like forgot you existed until you spoke to me again sorry x (what is wrong with me)

[murdocksleftnipple]

Stop writing marauders fics and making peter this outcast that they ignore and didn't love. His betrayal hurt for a reason. Remus truly believed Sirius did it. And Sirius didn't want Pete dead because he let him go to Azkaban. No, he wanted him dead because he did what they promised they never do and that's hurt each and he did that. And I know for a fact James would resent him because he didn't just put James and Sirius in danger, he put lily and harry in danger. But secretly he'd forgive him. He'd pray it was a trick and peter was tortured. Or he was being a spy for Dumbledore and had to say something. James loved peter. Remus loved peter. Sirius loved peter. PETER IS A MARAUDER WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. That doesn't mean you have to hate him. But stop making him this terrible, evil, scheming, person.

[lupiinist]

as i'm working on my new fic, i just found out i actually love writing james and peter's shenanigans, they're literally pure caos together, like, james is normally a very affectionate person, and peter likes affection, so they're just hugging or cuddling sometimes, but they also bicker a lot so they fight while trapping each other into tight hugs

[here-for-a-good-time-hopefully]

Remus ‘but if you need to be mean’ Lupin and James ‘be mean to me’ Potter are my world

[wafflinglumos]

Thinking about Remus Lupin in 1996 listening to “Black Star” by Radiohead after Sirius died

[themaraudersconstellation]

remus would throw his shoe at james or peter when they'd annoy him (not sirius though because he knows sirius would change into padfoot and chew on it)

[flowersforfrancis]

I always forget Remus is the one who turns into a wolf, not Sirius.

[losver07]

the marauders doing a tarot reading

peter: *flips a card*

peter: okay, so this card represents your past self, and-

sirius: hey, that guy's dead

remus: that guy, padfoot, is death. like, death itself

james: wait but thats your past, so... you're dead?

peter: what? no *checks his notes*

remus: makes sense i guess

sirius: oh my god i'm in love with a ghost?

peter: no guys the death is symbolic

remus: well a ghost is better than a werewolf

james: hey, don't say that! you're our favourite werewolf

sirius: yeah, and i still love you even if you're dead. you're still my moony alright?

peter: guys it's a fucking metaphor remus is alive

(extra)

remus: okay, next card. my present self, right? who am i, pete?

peter: well... *flips another card*

sirius: MOONY YOURE A WOMAN?

[pademelonluck]

james: what music do you listen to?

remus: i like indi/rock.

sirius: metal, like iron maiden.

peter: beethoven.

james: oh. i like boygenius.

remus: they don't even exist yet!
