#maybe jegulus maybe jily

MARAUDERS FIC IDEA: would anyone be interested in reading a (super long) fic where the marauders are at a boarding school but there’s no magic, just your generic this-boarding-school-is-super-old-and-has-many-dark-and-dangerous-secrets-that-will-be-discovered-by-the-main-characters AU? i want to write it but i’m not sure if everyone will think that’s super boring (and yes i know, you should write fanfiction for yourself - but i need motivation). anyway, lmk if that’s something you’d read! <3

Sometimes reading fanfiction is the only reason I wake up in the morning

being on marauders tumblr has made me realize that a lot of people would actually share anne rice's (terrible) opinion about fanfiction if they didn't write fanfic themselves.

Me seeing fanart or content on Jily: We’ve all seen the pictures, she looks absolutely beautiful

Sees Regulus (for whatever reason): um- and he’s there…

ngl jily gang- why am I seeing little to no fics on archive that’s actually about them? and why am i seeing so much snape sympathy shit in the archive tag? snape has a heart? lily forgives snape au? snape cares about harry? lily and james bashing in JILY fics for bitchass snape of all people? don’t get me started of all this newfound jegulus- do not piss me off gang like what the fuck are we doing-

i don't condone toxic relationships, i do, however condone fwb wolfstar who like each other but won't do anything about it other than making one another jealous

[binvibin]

its very rare that i read a mischaracterization of the marauders. like whether a characters style is different, i can still see the character in your writing

“All I wanted was you,”

But its Pandora to Lily

Lily to James

James to Regulus

Regulus to Barty

Barty to Peter

Peter to Evan

Evan to Barty

Peter to James

Dorcas to Marlene

Marlene to Mary

Mary to Lily

Lily to Pandora (but she’s burying her feelings) 😀

guys if i started a series of fics that are my interpretation of the marauders universe with all of my headcanons and such but pretty canon compliant would we be interested

[sachsoup]

though i like to indulge myself reading the anti jegulus tag (and agree with some sentiments) I don't have grrrrrrrrrrrrr hatred for it. i personally think it wouldn't just exist in my idealised fanon. maybe it could but personally, I think regulus having a puppy crush on james would be more silly and it causes him to doubt everything but regardless, it's one-sided for me...

[rewritingcanon]

no girl tell us what you think about jegulily!! im so here for it (tone is weird but I mean that genuinely, I don't ship them so I'm not here to be weird)

dw bae ur tone is fine ! (i’ve been waiting for an ask like this 💀) i think jegulily is... yeah its…. like usually as long as its legal idgaf as long as shippers portray their characters right but regulus fans are literally incapable 😭🙏 WHY WOULD U PAIR A MUGGLEBORN AND A BLOOD SUPREMACIST IM SO DONE WITH DIS FANDOMMMM!! that actually goes for a lot of lily ships like bartylily as well (no clue where that came from either but it’s equally as stupid lmfao).

and jegulily just feels like shoving in lily because people feel bad for ditching her, or shoving in regulus because some people like jily and jegulus and want them (for some reason) to coincide even though it makes zeroooo sense for it to. like, idk if i said this with jegulus before (i yap sm on this account i forget what i say), but like it, jegulily can be done well if a realistic dynamic is taken into account, but the marauders fandom is allergic to nuance and so just chalks up everything regulus does and believes to his neglectful homelife. hes not all-bad, sure, i do feel bad for him, but im nowhere close to shipping him with a woman whos part of the people hes trying to eradicate, or with her man who purposefully went against all pureblood tradition (which is such a large part of james’ character— he is a pureblood that chooses to be seperate from that culture hellooooo plz wake uppppp).

marauders fandom has a chronic “i can fix him” mentality when it comes to wizard neo nazis, i have never understood it. but thats a topic for another day.

jegulily should be filled with envy, toxicity and prejudice stop nerfing it to be some fluffy feel-good polyamorous stable marriage where they raise harry together. yall are looking over the potential. this ship has blood and guts in it plz act like it or else idk what to say 😭 if it doesnt end with at least one of them getting murdered i dont want it.

[chaoticfandomgirly]

I haven't been back in the Marauders fandom in so long and I miss it but also I don't find myself motivated enough to become obsessed again. My obsession had lasted in high intensity for a year and a half with me devouring 500k+ word fics every other day. But I miss that time. So I will probably go back. And this time I will either read rosekiller centred or Pandalily centered fics. Maybe Dorlene or any other lesbian ship. I need to read more wlw (it's a shame I am not able to but I have been imagining some of these ships in my head and I hope that I can get started with a good story).

[accio-sriracha]

Do I have too many unfinished drafts?

Maybe.

Is that going to stop me from asking you guys to send in as many fic requests as you can think of?

Absolutely not.

ok but a muggle college au, could be any endgame except prongsfoot or wolfstarbucks really, where remus and james have been dating since they were like 16 (so before they get to school)

james realizes a few months into the school year that remus and sirius are completely infatuated with each other — like he sort of knew before but it gets to the point where he feels bad for dating remus bc he’s keeping wolfstar apart, so he and remus break up.

whoever james ends up with (in my mind rn it’s lily, but it could also be barty, evan, or even regulus, tho i feel like it’s better if it’s someone more removed from the situation) finds him crying and comforts him (poorly) and they get closer and then they date and then everybody’s happy :)

yeah idk it just popped into my head
