I want to know if he likes Holi or Diwali more. i want to know if he was ever pissed at Effie and fleamont during navratris because he couldn’t eat non veg. I want to know if he called his friends bkl or bc whenever they were arguing playfully. I want to know if he made fun of the marauders for not handling spice. I want to know which god/goddess is his favourite one. I want to know which bollywood film is his favourite and which is the first one he introduced to the marauders+ girls. I want to know if he distributed prasad to all his friends and teachers whenever Effie sent him some. I want to know if he made a small mandir in his dorm jaha par saare marauders maatha tekte the. I want to know which god he prayed to before a quidditch match. I want to know if he drank his ru afza with milk or water. I want to know if he skips the “all Indians are my brothers and sisters” part of the pledge if he finds an Indian person attractive. I want to know how good or bad he is with matras (punctuation) while writing hindi. I want to know if he breaks down in Hindi love songs out of nowhere. I want to know if he wrote letters to regulus in hindi because he didn’t want him to understand what he was saying. I want to know if he feeds Sirius the first bite of his birthday cake and then remus and then peter whenever he’s celebrating it in Hogwarts because Indian ppl feed the first piece of cake to their most beloved family member or friend. I want to know if he wore kurtas or sherwanis at functions. does he prefer parle g or good day biscuits. I WANT TO KNOW OKAY.

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH JAMES POTTER BEING DESI.

randomly generated marauders headcanons that i agree with

[caspervi]

Nothing like drawing starchaser while hearing Phoebe Bridgers the entire time

[writtenicarus]

James waking up in the middle of the night hearing crying from downstairs so he rushes out of bed without even putting on his glasses only to find Regulus quietly sobbing making Harry's packed lunch for his first day of preschool tomorrow because James my baby is growing up (Remus is his teacher)

[grape-v1nes]

Regulus has like really horrible circulation which makes his hands constantly ice-cold and it startles James every time Regulus touches him

I love reading other people’s head canons. They may not initially make sense to me and how I see the character, but the person has thought so much about it that I automatically start trying to apply it and see what pieces I can fit into my version.

It’s just so beautiful how our collective imagination has taken the soggy story the jkr terf came up with and made it into something so much better than she ever could have. Like these characters who she just gave names and nothing else we’ve created into these fully fledged ideas that we would actually die for.

I just personally have a hc that Sirius and James laughed at the most inappropriate moments. Getting told off by a teacher? they'd share a look and start giggling. Getting themselves into dangerous situation? cackling as they escaped. Being told devastating news? started howling to lighten the moment. Close call during the full moon? chuckling when they talked about it the next day. Finding out that your best friends have been killed? Of course Sirius would start laughing, it was what they always did

Jegulus Headcanons

pairing: James Potter x Regulus Black

warnings: a mix of fluff and smut

notes:

I really hope you guys enjoy this short post, I am currently working on a shit ton of requests so keep a eye out for those 👀

James’ love language is words of affirmation and physical touch, while Regulus' love language is acts of service and quality time

The basic Regulus fell first. James fell HARDER, like the man was whipped

Regulus could say ANYTHING in French and James would get all smiley

If they’re studying together James will not be focused on that book, his eyes will be glued on Regulus

James loves kissing (ex; sloppy kissing, heated kissing, French kissing) Any kissing, James loves it all

Doesn’t matter which one, given the opportunity, they will tie the other to the bedpost with their ties

James loves his hair being played with and pulled, and Regulus loves to snake his hands in James' hair any chance he gets and of course loves to pull it.

The first time James heard Regulus giggle, it left him a little stunned and then pleaded for him to again

James will leave a trail of kisses all over Regulus' body if given the chance

It's very easy for Regulus to get James to beg for him, and he loves it; he loves hearing the desperation in James' voice

James loves to belt lyrics of his favorite songs. Mind you, his voice cracks with every verse, and he is very tone-deaf. Regulus hates himself for loving when James sings

It gets very heated in bed after quidditch games, and if their teams go against each it's just a little rougher (more than a little depending on who wins)

James loves praise like LOVES it (especially in bed)

Regulus loves to leave as many marks he can on James (ex; hickeys, bite marks, scratches)

James is very needy for physical touch

They both can be the biggest teases ever, but Regulus knows exactly what gets James going, like teasing touches in an area where James can't do anything about it

James loves to listen to Regulus read aloud and literally begs him anytime he sees him reading to read to him

Regulus is the biggest brat

[herbologyprofessor]

the black brothers are sooooo snobby about their wine. it’s like not even funny. they don’t gaf about other libations as they call them, but with wine? omg they make james and remus so mad sometimes.

first of all they care about the glass they drink it from. it can’t be a subpar wine glass and god forbid its the wrong type for the wrong wine.

secondly, they always smell it and then taste it before they ask for an entire glass. usually with the shit wine remus buys for them it’s a no from sirius and he just gives up trying and let’s sirius’ sommelier palate choose for them.

lastly, omg their delicate long fingers wrapped around the dainty stem of a glass, perfect hand posture and etiquette it’s so sexyyyy. james freaks out.

lol can u tell i’m wine drunk just a bit

[swag696942069]

Hear me out, ftm Regulus who was promised to Evan when they were kids, and so because of that, they became super close as kids, and like, bestie for life level. But then, Reggie realizes hes trans and comes out, so he and Evan are no longer allowed to get married and stuff. And they're both actually upset about it even though they were never even really romantically attracted to each other, they were just besties who thought it was the best option for them to get married, after seeing some of the other people their parents would've approved of. And then blah blah blah, jegulus, and blah blah blah, rosekiller and they stay besties for life, and live happily ever after with their respective partners but they always make jokes about each other being each other's husband and stuff like that ahahhahaha

Remus Lupin head canons i’ve been collecting for 10+ years

- this hoe loves books, i know that’s a common head canon but let me dive deeper;

- he definitely is checking out matilda level amounts of books from the library every week before going to hogwarts.

- homeschooled by his mother 100% and she would make him write book reports so he learned to love annotating books

- cut to lily seeing him writing in a book in 1st year and being absolutely disgusted but eager to make friends so she asks him his favorite books and authors.

- remus goes on like an hour long tangent about tolkien and c.s. lewis and how much he loves fantasy and how he’s so excited he gets to be at hogwarts because it’s so close to his escape from his lycanthropy as a child.

- lily tells him all about literature and they start a book club right then and there.

- remus also studied piano from his mom as well, and then eventually when she couldn’t teach him anymore his parents saved up to pay for a teacher.

- he loves his piano teacher and over summer breaks goes back and takes lessons

- bonds with sirius because of this as sirius had to learn violin to become a “well rounded heir”. they play duet covers as entertainment for gryffindor parties and everyone fucking loves it.

- eventually mary joins in and plays guitar and they have a cute little peter paul and mary vibe going on.

- remus is so outspoken, and truly always the first to be informed on politics or news

- was very forthcoming on his views about the war, along with james and sirius. i believe remus was the most “radical” of them though, and wanted freedom/ equality for all creatures not just wizards.

- he also felt unease at the ministry and wanted systematic changes as well as wanting to fight against voldemort.

- extremely distrustful of dumbledoor towards the end of the war, and it caused division between him and sirius until the second war when sirius realized remus had been right.

- remus had a magical proclivity for defense, and was a great dueler. the only person who he was evenly matched with in his class was sirius. they often fought to draws. they absolutely keep count of their wins.

- remus, lily, and mary all collectively give james and sirius their music tastes. they have new records every time they come home from break.

- remus is absolutely a stoner and loves smoking joints, reading, and listening to music during his free time.

- him and sirius smoke together sometimes but remus smokes a lot more than sirius because it really helps him with his chronic pain and depression.

- oh remus rolling a joint is like the most sexy thing anyone has ever seen. sirius frequently uses those memories for….personal time.

- remus uses an expansion charm under his bed and grows his own weed, eventually becomes hogwarts resident dealer and always puts freebies in his deliveries

- the freebies include:

- little drawings made by sirius

- chcocolates

- sometimes if he’s hanging out with marlene and has to deliver an order she’ll draw a tarot card for the person and write down a little reading for them!

- remus’ own handmade stickers!

- yeah he’s everyone’s favorite drug dealer seriously 10/10.

- he operates this all under minnie’s nose and is forever smug about getting away with it.

- i could probably think of a million more because i just love him so much but ive been hitting my pen while writing this so i’m gonna go make a snack!!!

Do you think Neville was planned?

Was Harry a surprise?

Yeah and yes!

From the timeline/what we are told about these characters parents, James and Lily were incredibly young, while Alice and Frank were older and at least established in the Aurors.

James and Lily died at 21 with a 15/16 month old baby. They basically got married right out of Hogwarts at 18/19 and then bam! Lily is pregnant with Harry??? That is not on purpose, no way is that not an accident. The films did us so dirty by aging up all of the Marauders just to have Alan Rickman (RIP) be Snape🤮 It would’ve been so much more impactful to have James and Lily be fresh faced 20yo children, like they are barely older than Harry when he walks into the forest in DH and it would’ve been so shocking. The biggest tragedy about James and Lily is not their death, it’s their youth in death. 21 is so young, and no 21yo fighting in a war is thinking about having children, even if they are married. Having Harry was such a choice for James and Lily, and it was because they had hope that the war would end soon and they could have more than what the last few years their lives ended up being. They died in hiding, trusting a friend they shouldn’t have, and getting news through coded letters. James and Lily did not plan Harry, he was their best mistake.

Alice and Frank planned Neville! This is something I’ve always stood by because we know they were older. It takes 3 years of training to become an Auror, and when we hear about the Longbottoms they are known and established in the community, that means they either made some big arrests when they first came into the department OR they had been there for a while. The idea that the Order was literally the Marauders and some of their friends is fucking stupid. The Order was made up of many different people of VARIOUS AGES (I’m so sick and tired of this idea that everyone was close in age in the Order). Just because we know a little more about the younger members of both Orders doesn’t mean all of the Orders were young. That being said, Frank and Alice, at their youngest would’ve been 27/28 when they got pregnant with Neville. They were established and in a loving relationship, they were older and married, and while it may have seemed stupid to try and have a baby, they were friends with people who were actively having children. They would’ve know Arthur, they knew Edgar Bones and his young family, they would see James and Lily struggle to decide to have Harry. Neville was planned, or at least a more happy accident than Harry ever was.

But both of these boys, no matter how you want to argue it, were so loved and welcomed by their parents. Accident or not, planned or not, Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom were born a day apart and grew up to be friends despite the consequences of putting them together, McGonagall couldn’t have been more proud of them.

[neverenoughmarauders]

Sometimes (read: almost always) I question my head... I have this hc that it's Sirius who convinces James not to add Remus to his will, thinking Remus is the spy and not being able to stand the idea that Remus will have a financial incentive for James' death on top of everything else.

Like I KNOW this is BS. Canonically it makes perfect sense for James not to think about what would happen if he died - despite the fact that he's got Voldemort after his family. Yes, he knows he is financing Remus, but he will always be alive to do that. It's James and Sirius' arrogance and complete faith in their abilities/intelligence to trick Voldemort that makes them to the foolish thing of using Peter as Secret Keeper. When Voldemort shows up at the door, James is completely unprepared.

But no, my brain went: what can we do to make the fate of two of the most tragic (in my view) characters in the HP series, even more tragic. They are already going to have to work through a huge amount of guilt after POA: let's just add a bit more for good measure...

[writtenicarus]

I hope that somewhere in the world, maybe in an apartment in London or a nice cottage by the coast, James has just tucked Regulus up in bed and kissed him on the forehead and now they're cuddled up and ready for bed.

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

Gimme ur artist james potter hcs NOW

OKAY SO.

he spent a lot of his childhood with doing art (bc old parents who got tired easily)

draws everywhere

people are his favourite actually

out of which, naturally, sirius is his favourite (pale + smooth skin + pretty + very good at staying still)

stenciled sirius' antler tattoo on his v-line and the entire thing was Very Safe For Work

but like whatever,

draws on remus' hands

and peter's clothes

peter is very irritated. all his white shirts have black ink spots

he does, however, appreciate that all his birthday cards include three to seven sketches

james loves sketching !! he barely ever completes anything (unless it's for sirius)

has numerous sketchbooks of just sirius alone

its Very Safe For Work

gay art cousin

ummm

idk

superiority complex goes hard bc everyone compliments his art

first jily kiss was when james offered to draw lily

this was also when lily decided that james would be her husband,

idk !!!!

[all-too-unwell-13]

okay so ik everyone kinda takes it to heart that peter betrayed everyone in canon (for good reason ofc)

but it hurts some part of my soul when i see young marauders fanart and they just don't draw peter
