Never ever do an egg hunt the marauders set up. Never. It's all traps and pranks

The marauders put up posters for their "fun school wide egg hunt" and too many people didn't pay attention to who set it up

The eggs exploded color onto people, grew legs and ran away, and all kinds of other bullshit

Those poor naive students

Marauders as shit my friends have said

James : it is near Paris, in France

Remus : and where exactly did you think Paris was?

James : *whisper* in France?

Remus : ofc we knew it, idiot. You didn't have to specify the country

Sirius : he was js trying to help!

Um so, I just saw a tiktok that said stags usually don’t live past the age of 20…

I might shrivel up and die now.

as desperately as sirius wanted to be the cool aunt figure to harry, he was 100 percent the coddling aunt who pinched cheeks and stuffed him full of food every time he came over. remus was the cool aunt who would take him to places he wasn't supposed to go and covered for him when he wanted to sneak out, and sirius was jealous

Part 2: Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Thanks to @livelaughlovetoread for ONCE AGAIN a wonderful banner! You're too good to me 🥰😍

So you guys, this is it! The first chapter of Part 2 of When We Were Up to No Good is out.

If you have not read Part 1 who are you and why haven't you fear not, all parts will be written so that they can be read standalone!

SUMMARY

December 1972 was the month Remus Lupin's friends had hoped that he could lower his shoulders. Even if it was just a little. After all, they knew. Instead, December 1972 would go down in the collective student memory as the month the First Wizarding War turned up at Hogwarts doorsteps. -- Follow Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew as they become animagi; Remus Lupin as he learns that friends don't give up easily; Lily Evans as she realises that sometimes you have to let go, and Severus Snape as he discovers that you can't always have both things your heart desires. And follow the world beyond the castle walls as the war takes centre stage. Alice and Fabian are pushed to their limits as Aurors-in-training. Gideon learns he can't outrun himself. And Frank is faced with choices that could turn the kind, beautiful, round-faced girl he’s beginning to fall for against him. After all, how could Alice possibly love someone who destroyed her best friend’s life?

I really hope you check it out and that you like it!! I am so excited for this part!!

Harry: The map is never wrong.

Love this! I've always had a headcanon that James was the only marauders who joined the Order because he truly believed it. Not that the others didn't believe in the mission, I just don't think it was their primary reasoning.

James joined because he believed that blood purity was dumb & wanted to help protect/save the Wizarding world.

Remus doesn't even believe that he'll ever actually find himself treated equally in a Wizarding society, but he genuinely believe that he owes everything to Dumbledore & immediately joins out of obligation.

Sirius joined because James and Remus did & because it put him in direct opposition to his parents & their beliefs. While he also wants a better world, again, it's not his primary motivator.

Peter joins solely because his friends did and he craves security. He wants to feel safe and there's a war and all of his friends join, so he does, too. Because his motivator was security, though, and not loyalty, or belief in justice, or desire to rebel, he was the easiest to sway. Once his security amongst his friends was threatened, he turned to the next person he could get it from - the people who were already leading the war.

Sorry, but Sirius Black was a privileged brat who supported causes superficially without understanding discrimination or making an effort to do so. Throughout his story, we repeatedly see behaviors that could easily belong to members of his own family, only instead of directing them at "Mudbloods," he targets other groups: poor half-bloods, werewolves, house-elves... Because Sirius Black never understood his own privilege, nor did he understand what privilege itself entails. He only hated his family, and therefore, anything his family thought was good, he thought was bad, but not from a studied, logical, or well-thought-out perspective. Not from a position where he wanted to give up everything that made his life easier, but purely out of hate, resentment, and family trauma.

And that makes him very interesting because he constantly defends certain moral issues and fights for them without truly understanding them. And not understanding them leads to him constantly displaying very questionable and hypocritical behaviors. He supposedly believes in equality, yet the first person he suspects of being a spy for Voldemort is his werewolf friend because he’s a werewolf. He supposedly defends the weak, yet he spent years enjoying himself while bullying a poor, resource-less kid who clearly couldn’t compete with the status or surname of the Blacks. He supposedly should treat those below him well, yet he treats his house-elf like garbage.

Sirius Black is contradictory and is a great example of the typical rich kid from radicalized, highly sectarian families who opposes those families, leaves them, but never abandons their privileged environments nor gives up their money or resources. As a result, his social awareness is very performative because he hasn’t engaged in self-criticism. And that’s what gives the character realism and interest. If you take that away from him, he becomes incredibly boring. So please stop saying he wasn’t a privileged elitist, because he was, and he also had violent and sadistic tendencies.

Marauders as shit my friends have said

James : what is the [a band name]

Sirius : what do you mean you don't know?

Sirius : BLASPHEMY. YOU'VE COMMITTED A TRULY SACRILEGIOUS ACT

James : it's just a band

Sirius : just a band. JUST?

Sirius *turns into miette* : jail for you, jail for you for one thousand years.

Remus : *questioning life choices*

Peter : *enjoying it*

[shadowjinx2906]

And if I said Peter Pettigrew?

[study-of-the-moon]

James and Sirius are the best friends who are so incredibly emotionally co-dependent on each other that you wonder how they function without each other, but then you see them together and realise that the only reason they're sane seperately is because its when they're TOGETHER that they go absolutely, undeniably feral :)
