Lily Evans is..

strawberry themed picnics under the sun, a light breeze brushing through auburn curls.

autumn walks in the park, swaddled in scarves, hats and gloves. Picking conkers up from the grass and shoving them into already bulging pockets.

reading under dim lights, manicured fingers tracing the pages of books and knitted blankets piled over shoulders.

cuddles with cats, soft fur tickling the palms of your hands.

I love unperfect Lily Evans. I love selfish Lily Evans. I love Lily Evans who holds grudges for the longest time for the smallest things. I love Lily Evans who judges people's outfits silently. I love "bitchy" Lily Evans. I love jealous Lily Evans. I love Lily Evans with a dry and sarcastic humour. I love socially awkward Lily Evans. I love Lily Evans who's childish sometimes. I love Lily Evans who only cared about her reputation as a teen. I love judgemental and snarky Lily Evans. I love Lily Evans who had an eating disorder. I love Lily Evans who has grown up homophobic and would be very openly homophobic in her teen years to hide the fact she liked girls. I love Lily Evans that is not the "perfect woman" created from a misogynistic point of view. She has flaws too, canon is misogynistic, don't swear by it.

James is the sunshine Gryffindor who won’t cry in front of people.

Sirius is the rebel Gryffindor with a back story.

Peter is the messy Gryffindor who sees everything because he’s forgotten.

Remus is the smart Gryffindor who is always in pain.

Lily is the bad bitch Gryffindor on earth whose sister hates her.

Mary is the lovable sarcastic Gryffindor who is isn’t comfortable in her skin or feelings.

Marlene is the Gryffindor flirt who isn’t comfortable in her body.

Gryffindor is courage, bravery and determination

Gryffindor is not immune, invincible, or perfect

you should totally talk about ur lily more😔 (pleasepleaplepleasepleaspeleaapleaase)

Sigh, I have a very love-hate relationship with Lily with how some of her fans can get. Unfortunately, I did post about her at some point but took it down. Truthfully, I do love her in my own personal way.

Anyways, here's some headcanons:

-She's from Spain and was raised Catholic. Her family moved to the UK and unlike Petunia, Lily settled kinda well while Petunia wasn't used to the sudden change in environment. They moved when Lily was 10 and Petunia was 12.

-I feel like people will hate me for this, but I think her friendship with Severus was one of the most important ones. First friend-first love kinda of thing. They were each other's first person and even when they part ways, Lily will still feel fond of him even when they both wronged each other (because there is no way in hell two lonely teens weren't gonna hurt each other one way or another). Modern AU version of them is just two teenage girls who don't know where the boundaries of romantic-platonic end and begin which causes a lot of weird feelings and toxicity (don't ask how I know that)

-She's like one of those people who are like "Stop doing that, you're making me stressed", and the other person just placed a book in a different place. There is always a certain way she likes things done because she feels like works better, so if another way is introduced, she will be skeptical about its efficiency

-I don't see her reading fiction books all that much. She would much prefer biographies to draw her life inspirations from, literature essays to validate her internal points, and poems for small readings to just relax with. I think if she would read nonfiction, they would definitely have an overall message that she obsesses over. However, I think she would LOVE magazines.

-Not all that into movies, I don't think she would have the patience to watch them.

-We as a fandom must never forget her skill for potions. I think in the muggle world, she was very into chemistry (I've always found this funny stereotype about religious people not liking stuff like chemistry)

-Much more easily agitated during the war. Her head was constantly filling with regrets and a back-and-forth desire to run back to Petunia or stay with the Order. Once Harry was born, she kinda had this melancholy look about her, she won't be able to return or try to make amends with her sister for a long long time, or if she's even able to. At every meeting, she had a frustrated look in her eye but when she was pregnant/after Harry's birth, she just looked like she was reluctantly accepting a terrible fate. She's happy with the family she's crafted for herself but also misses when she didn't have to go through the loneliness of making one for herself because she had Petunia and that was more than enough for Lily.

-I don't think she regrets helping muggles at all. That's not what I'm saying. I'm more in the thinking that she wanted to the comfort of her own family in a such difficult time. Jealously when Regulus dies, Sirius can finally mourn and put his family to rest while Lily fears for her family's life every day as they live, living in regret and feeling like an outcast. James and his parents and her desire for her mother when she's pregnant, yes Effie is kind, but she isn't Lily's mom. Remus has the comfort of knowing his family is safe because Lyall is a wizard, and the same can go for Peter. Lily's family probably doesn't even know what was happening.

-All that anger and frustration kinda boils over and I WISH that JK Rowling made her more angry before her death. Lily's life was unfair! She deserved to yell and scream, plea for her son's life but also cuss out Voldemort. Screaming and crying (literally), shaking with fear but also anger, and I know, female characters can be soft/sensitive/emotional, it's not a bad thing. It's just I wish she was more angry/a mess because she was seen as a witty, sharp-tongued girl! This stereotypical fierce redhead! I would've been fine with her simply pleading for her son's life even in the most pathetic way (no shame) but her personality was established as being very fierce by JK Rowling!! But this could honestly be just me and yes, I know, situations change people sometimes. I just wished there was more anger, or maybe I'm angry on her behalf lol

-Teenage Lily is the helpless romantic, the girl who reads real-life love stories to prove love is real, the girl who cheers her boyfriend on the field, and the girl with gum and finished homework notes that could be given to anyone who needed them. But 20-21 year old Lily the tired woman who cried for her mother when she had her first child, the tired woman who wanted her sister's hugs again, the tired woman with sickly green eyes and moved too slowly for a woman in her early 20s, and the tired woman who watched everyone like a hawk at Order meetings that talked of more death. She sits in the corner, the chair seemingly too big for her, or anyone for that matter, and watches with frustrations simmering under her eyes. Sometimes give a cutting remark that Sirius laughs to.

She’s in James’ Jersey because why not

BONUS: Pandora and Mary’s comment

[myfavcharacterdidntdrown]

Sirius, James, Peter & Remus: *screaming*

Lily: *runs into the room* What’s wrong, Remus?!

Sirius: Wait, why are you asking Remus, when James, Peter and I are also here?

Lily: Because Remus wouldn’t scream unless it’s an emergency. You three scream whenever you have the chance.

[jameskinniesrise]

Lily: I'm glad Pandora enjoys me keeping you company while she's away.

Regulus: She likes you because you keep Barty out of Azkaban.

Barty: Not for long.

When I say I’m a Lily Evans kin…

I mean the fact that I am sobbing over this test tomorrow in the middle of the night and trying so hard to study and be a good student but all I can think about is this stupid himbo I’m in a situationship with

I mean that I am debating between a glass of wine or a cup of coffee for this all-nighter

I mean that it would be so so much easier if I didn’t feel a constant need to prove to everyone around me that I am smart

I mean that I am a chronic over-sharer who is convinced everyone around me is constantly slightly annoyed by me and so I try to correct by being overly nice

I mean I am more scared of what my peers think of me than of what authority figures think

I mean that I have a sibling who will bully me relentlessly for posting this cause I am being cringe on main

[hyperfocuscentre]

you say ‘the prophecy is remus coded’ but what if i said that it’s lily coded? it’s about lily losing faith in dumbledore, lily trying to find a way to keep harry safe from the prophecy, lily BEGGING for her sons life.

[de4thbycre4tion]

Marylily but it's 2 goddesses who worship each other and forget all about the world they're supposed to rule so the whole world burns and they're kissing in a corner completely unaware of what's happening
