#or when Dorcas is shipped with Peter

[yesiamprocrastinating]

nothing more horrifying than that one character you thought everyone agreed was a lesbian being shipped with a man.

[anunfortunatekinlist]

note to marauders fandom: just cause you add a bunch of queer characters and poc xcharacters to your fanfics, it doesn’t mean your inclusive and understanding

[corpsephrog]

is it controversial that i actually do care about canon as a marauders fan

[swag696942069]

Sometimes I'll read a fic for a fandom or ship I don't even like and just imagine it's the people in the fandoms I do like, and then when one of the people in the fic does something that doesn't match up with something the person I'm pretending they are would do, I go "Oh my god no! They would never!" And then pick someone else to pretend to be them

[bowiesversion]

How I think Marauders Era Couples got together

Dorlene: Slept together for a couple months, Dorcas refused to admit she had feelings but Marlene was head over heels. Eventually Marlene went to Dorcas' one summer and they worked it out (this is heavily inspired by casual and red wine supernova by chappell roan)

Wolfstar: very natural, they were roommates so it was lingering touches and staring just slightly too long. When Remus (bc siri is baby) confessed he liked Sirius (they were drunk) the only thing that changed was that they started sleeping in the same bed and kissing.

Marylily: Kinda the same as wolfstar, but they were more mature about it. Lily opened up to Mary as soon as she felt like she liked her more than just friends.

Jegulus: oh my babies. Pining, so much pining. They would glare at each other across the hall, and Regulus would be such a little punk on the quidditch field (James found this very hot, but he also got PISSED). They got detention together one night, and as they were cleaning the trophy's James asked Reg why he hated him sm. Reg was dumbfounded and it spiraled into them making out somehow.

Peter and Sybil (idk the ship name): they were friends for a while, and they got together after a game of spin the bottle (Peter didn't want to play but Sirius convinced him to) oh and Sybil knew it would happen for a while, she was just waiting.

Rosekiller: Definition of no homo. They would literally mess around and say no homo after. They would blow smoke into each others mouth while holding eye contact. Evan fell first, Barty fell harder. They ended up dating after Regulus got mad at Barty and started yelling about how they were so annoying and just needed to have sex.

Things I don’t get about the marauders fandom as someone who’s been obsessed with them for literal years

1. How we let so many characters be only children?? like I get that people don’t necessarily want to make OCs but HOW did it get to this? James, Marlene, Peter, Remus, Mary, Barty, Dorcas, Alice, Frank and so many others! Idk maybe it’s just where I’m from but look me in the eyes and tell me you know that many people who don’t have siblings ALSO the ratio is so off and barely any of them have only child energy. It’s just not right.

2. How sooo many of you aren’t multi shippers. Like what do you MEAN you can only see James with Regulus and Regulus with James?? What about bartylus? what about sunrose? what about draksun/sunkiller? what about moonwater? what about jily? what about prongstail? WHAT do you read?? Aren’t you bored??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN you only have ONE ship for each character???? As a multi shipper, I can be convinced of any ship with anything ranging from a real good fic or a pretty edit to an enthusiastic rant from a random person on TikTok and it just makes things interesting. Maybe my adhd brain just needs more ships to focus on or maybe some of you just lack flexibility ( or imagination), but we need to fix this cause there aren’t enough fics with the ships I like 😭😭

3. THE SHIP NAMES. I can’t be the only one who thinks some of these suck right? Like why are we saying jegulus when starchaser and sunseeker are RIGHT THERE?? Same with jily and flowerpot, and bartylus and starkiller. ALSO some names make me wonder if some of you just haven’t grasped the concept of ship names or if I just got it all wrong cause marylily and jegulily are just annoying, why are we keeping the L in Lily? The point is to merge the names together not stick them one beside the other, I just say marily and jeguily because it rolls off the tongue so much more easily

4. The Peter erasure. I just don’t get it, it’s so easy to include him in things, you don’t have to make him a main character, but just mention him every once in awhile. Sometimes I’m reading an important scene in a fic and everyone is mentioned EXCEPT for Peter! It’s so easy, just make him roll his eyes at his friends being idiots or something. And it’s not like you’ll get his personality wrong, ALL THESE CHARACTERS PERSONALITIES WERE MADE UP BY FANS but I understand that some people lack imagination so here’s some things about Peter I like to imagine: he’s a HUGE gossip, like my man sees and hears everything and he takes notes!! He likes to randomly turn into a rat and take a nap in one of the other marauders’ pocket, he does it so much that they had to tell the girls that they had a pet rat cause they were asking too many questions. He’s really perceptive and his friends are all oblivious so it leads to funny scenarios like:

Remus & Sirius after YEARS of pining: we’re dating

Peter: I thought you guys had been together since third year?

Sirius: I’ve literally introduced you to people I was dating?!

Peter, shrugging: look mate I don’t question you lot anymore, you do whatever you want, I don’t care what you’re into, I just don’t wanna know about it

He also pulls people, like he’s really nice and will gossip to anyone who’s in his vicinity so he’s friends with basically everyone and he’s funny and pretty and he’s got charisma so he just charms everyone and when I say everyone, I mean everyone, even the slytherins have a soft spot for him (that’s how he gets accepted among the death eaters during the war actually). In pranks he’s the lookout so he often has to distract the teachers so he asks them random things and spits out half-made up facts about anything so he’s besties with most of the teachers which means he doesn’t get many detentions.

5. The Black brothers, more specifically the way the speak to each other in most fics, like they call each other “brother” so often and as someone who has a brother I’ve never called him that. Is it an anglophone thing? Like do people who speak English at home all do that or are fic writers only children?? (That would explain my first point actually) Or is it more a rich people thin?? Cause I know it’s not a francophone thing that’s for sure (also special mention to people who don’t know anything about French writing Sirius and Regulus as French speakers, I can tell you don’t know what you’re writing about but I eat it up everytime anyway)

6. This is actually just about ao3 but I WANNA BE ABLE TO LEAVE MORE KUDOS!!! I just loooooove fics but I can’t leave kudos at every single chapter and I’m bad at writing comments so I can’t show the author how much I love their work, I hate itttt 😭

7. Why there aren’t more fics about the Black family, and not just Sirius and Regulus, but Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa as well like that would be so interesting and maybe like a deep dive into the Black family ideals and all that (if you have fic recs I’m all ears!!)

8. How jegulily is a pretty popular ship (which I LOVE) yet SO FEW people ship Regulus and Lily outside of it! They are a power couple and I love them and they don’t need James to work!!!

9. Why there isn’t more background Minnie x Poppy cause they are my mothers and I wanna see them moooooreeee

If you read all of this I love you 🥰 have an amazing day/night

[crescenthistory]

hello miss Carina! I'm not very well versed in the marauders fandom (but I love your works) and was wondering what are the valkeryies?

hello my lovely!! i am SO HAPPY you asked

crescenthistory's introduction to the valkyries

since you said you're not well-versed in the fandom at all, i'm over-explaining to be on the safe side, sorry if you already knew all of this 🙏

"the valkyries" is a group name in the same way as the marauders (james, sirius, remus, peter) and the slytherin skittles (barty, evan, regulus, dorcas, pandora) are

unlike the marauders (who are named explicitly in the hp books through the marauders map), the skittles and the valkyries are fandom names for the different friendgroups at hogwarts

(nb, the skittles are sometimes called the emeralds by people who think that name is too silly lmao, and pandora is traditionally thought of as ravenclaw, despite the name being slytherin-centred)

these friendgroups, of course, often over-lap in fan interpretations as we love to have them all as one vast giant family

in OG fanon lore, the valkyries consist of the three gryffindor girls: lily evans, marlene mckinnon and mary macdonald

lily we know a "lot" about from the books; she is studious, fiery, kind/nurturing, stands up for what is right and loves her friends fiercly

mary is only named as a member of the order who did not die and is mentioned by lily in a flashback where she says mary was a victim of a muggleborn hatecrime

thus we as a fandom have concluded that she is muggleborn and kind. from there, interpretations of her vary, but i characterise her as sassy, down to earth, a bit flirtatious yet shy, kind of cottagecore-y

when we talk about the marauders era in a canon compliant way, most people believe that mary survived the first wizarding war and obliviated herself of any knowledge of magic afterwards because she couldn't live with the trauma. she went on to live the rest as a "muggle"

marlene is mentioned only once in the books and is said to have been a member of the order who was killed alongside her entire family

she is generally characterised by the fandom as being incredibly loyal and family-centric (blood and found family), outspoken/brazen, confident, passionate and kind

most people hc her as an avid quidditch fanatic (wants to be a professional player when she grows up, becomes either that or a healer)

these three shared a dorm at hogwarts and made up the foundation of the friendship between the marauders era girls

(either peter or remus is often hc-ed as being brought in as an "honourary girlie" in some of their hangouts because of their quietness and respect)

they are called the valkyries specifically because valkyries in norse mythology are beautiful female warriors who bring fallen soldiers to valhalla ("heaven") -> a poetic take on who they are

they are close friends with the marauders, depending on your hcs

i for one believe that marlene and james are childhood besties (because wizard families and quidditch) and lily and remus instantly connect (because of similar personalities and views), so the friendgroups are kind of merged immediatley

it also makes sense that the two gryffindor groups are connected to some degree -- i don't like the idea of them splitting up into "genders" so divisively, i view the different friendgroups as originating from their dorms and then mixing from there

where and how the slytherin skittles come in, usually depends on your hcs or the fic (as in, you go with what suits your story)

the obvious connection is regulus and sirius as brothers, so in fics where they are close, it makes sense that the friendgroups merge

other than that, the friendgroups usually merge through different ships: james/regulus, marlene/dorcas, lily/james, lily/pandora, remus/regulus, etc.

most people nowadays (ESPECIALLY ME) consider dorcas and (sometimes) pandora as either parts of the valkyries or at least good enough friends with them that they are together a lot

while i see dorcas and pandora as slytherin skittles/emeralds first and foremost, i will usually also include them in chats about the valkyries and will list poly!dorlene and poly!pandalily under the valkyries tag in my masterlist

they become integrated with the three valkyries at some point during their time at hogwarts; the original trio expands

i usually consider the shift to have happened around fifth year, but it's flexible

(if you want to know more about dorcas and pandora, i have a lot of headcanons about them under the slytherin skittles part of my masterlist)

i personally am an avid dorlene (dorcas/marlene) shipper and don't really entertain other pairings for either party, though i know some people are fond of marlene/mary

marylily is a huge other ship within the valkyries and is often considered "complementary" to dorlene

pandalily (pandora/lily) is also growing in popularity from what i've seen

if you want any headcanons for any of these ships (either on their own or poly x reader), i am more than willing 🥸

there are also wider friendgroups and other characters around at hogwarts that are sometimes mentioned or integrated into fics, either to serve a purpose or just for the vibes

some of these that i occasionally use are: the black sisters (reg&sirius' cousins andormeda, bellatrix and narcissa), amelia bones (hufflepuff), emmeline vance (ravenclaw), alice fortescue & frank longbottom, rita skeeter, ted tonks, the Bad Guys in slytherin lol (severus snape, rabastan lestrange, lucius malfoy, mulciber, avery, etc.)

i hope this gave you a better idea of who they are bubs! let me know if you want any more details or to chat about them<33

since any lore is essentially entirely based in fanon, it is very much up to everyone's personal preference and is even subject to change from fic to fic, but all in all the valkyries are lily, marlene and mary + other potential girlies(gn) they drag with them along the way 🤍

[rotting-clowns]

Battle of the bands au:

The Death Eaters (main characters of the fics, povs will probably switch between them, but mostly Barty and Reg): Regulus (guitar), Barty (vocal), Evan (bass) and Dorcas (drums). Pandora is the manager, she does not want to be on stage when her brother is wilding with his bf. Primarily emo but with some influences from scene era genres. Very angsty and angry, also very sexual and violent, we dissect bodies and eat them for the metaphor also here’s a song about giving head to jesus

The marauders: Sirius (vocal and guitar), Remus (drums), James (bass), Peter (keyboard). Classic rock (though it veers into punk real quick) and a little bit of glam elements. Anarchism, we are better than you, we fuck and smoke and party, fuck the police

The valkyries: Lily (vocal), Marlene (drums), Mary (guitar), Alice (keyboard). Glam with heavy influences from other genres like folk and metal. Their songs keep you on your toes. Very experimental but also have their own identity? Chicks who rock, the system stinks, let the world burn, save the bees

Planned ships: rosekiller (established), sunseeker, wolfstar (established), dorlene, marilily (established)

[anunfortunatekinlist]

the marauders fandom have taken these really dynamic and interesting characters with different canon arcs, and they have singled they into ONE SINGLE TROPE/TRAIT

[th3-ann0unc3r]

i’m back for more marauders x taylor swift songs and im listening to my anthology record so here’s the songs i think each marauders ship/character is! (some of them are about characters from other perspectives) (thank you for reading this i know it’s a lot!)

————————————————————————

Fortnite: jegulus (if james dated regulus for a bit and then went to lily and regulus went to barty)

ttpd: Wolfstar or hear me out rosekiller

my boy only breaks his favorite toys: remus about sirius (could be post prank or if he was in denial about his sexuality)

down bad: jegulus (NOW IM DOWN HAD CRYING AT THE GYM EVERYTHINK COMES OIT TEENAGE PETULANCE IS SO JAMES CORE)

so long london: i’m so sorry but this is so remus and grant

but daddy i love him: regulus to sirius when he finds out about jegulus

fresh out the slammer: there an obvious answer so i’m gonna go with the unobvious one ROSEKILLER

florida!!!!: this is just a gryffindor party (give me partyvan as well)

guilty as sin: sirius about his crush on remus

who’s afraid of little old me? lily evans (no i will never shut up about this now that ive figured this out)

i can fix him (no really i can): post prank remus

LOML: if james had been in love with sirius before he started dating remus…. (yes i love prongsfoot)

i can do it with a broke heart: give me remus after he finds out mary obliviated herself

the smallest man who ever lived: LILY TO PETER (also lily to snape) (walberga to orion) (i could go on for days)

the alchemy: jily (may i also throw in quidditch player lily with pandalily) (DORLEEN)

clara bow: the 3 generations of black family men (you look like orion black in this light remarkable) (you look like sirius black in ‘75 the hair the lips) (you look like regulus black in this light we’re loving it you’ve got edge he never did)

the black dog: OH COME ON GUYS THIS ONE IS OBVIOUS TOO (i’ll just say it wolfstar during the prank)

imgonnagetyouback: if rosekiller broke up this would be the exact song that would play

the albatross: how people see pandora

chloe or same or sophia or marcus: this somg is about being on drugs and some begging you to stop (rosekiller) (who said that? ) (it was the wind) (also could be sirius who keeps sleeping with girls instead of being with remus) (who said that) (damn wind is so loud)

How did it end? remus when he realized all of his friends are dead and he’s completely alone

so high school: DORLEEN GUYS

i hate it here: pandora rosier

thanK you aIMee: barty about his dad (sirius and regulus about their mother)

i look in peoples windows: tcoptp remus searching for tonya in every person he meets because she was his mother no matter what (if remus was dating tonks because of him seeing sirius in her) (i love tonks and remus im not trying to pull a i hate the girls thing) (i just genuinely understand that if you find someone you love that much you will search for them in EVRRY SINGLE PERSON YOY CAN FIND) (tonks apologist household) (if you don’t like tonks you can go away)

the prophecy: lily begging for harry not to be the boy who lived (i would also like to say pandora who sees regulus drown and begs the universe to not do this to her)

casandra: dorcas (MS. VOLDY HAD TO KILL ME HIMSELF BECAUSE I WAS TO BIG OF A THREAT) (i would also like to say lily evan’s)

peter: james to peter (i would also like to throw in jegulus) (we said it was just good bye for now. you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me is so james begging regulus not to take the mark after they broke up) (also we did the best we could under the same moon is so james talking about moony and how much he tried to help keep the group together) (i might have to make a whole post about this song)

The bolter: sirius when he keeps sleeping around (no more girls? no more girls)

Robin: if remus got to raise harry…. (the secret we all vowed to keep from you in sweetness) (it’s so remus trying to protect harry from finding out he’s the boy who lived )

The manuscript: remus finding out harry has the map…. (now and then i reread the manuscript but the story isn’t mine anymore OUCHY OUCHY OUCHY OUCH)

[padfootscoldleathers]

ladies, gents, bents, non-conformants!

welcome welcome one and all to me posting about my fic and welcome to my mailbox if you want to send me stuff you'd like to see in the fic (i will consider them even if they dont make it to the fic)

this is a band au for the marauders era BUT the original marauders are not the band. let me explain.

Band: Sirius, Peter, Marlene, Dorcas (no band name yet so shoot your shot if you want to)

the marauders era characters have a LOT of different roles here. Regulus and Pandora are dancers, Mary and Peter grew up together & met Remus in highschool in America and did music but now Mary and Remus are somewhat duo singers. (i made Remus southern you'll get why in the fic) Alice is kind of an enigma but we'll get to know her. I'll show you all her colours i promise. Evan manages Mary and Remus and has such a goofy big brother personality. MINERVA the queen that she is, is basically the band's mother/manager. fluffy black brothers!! oh, and andromeda is dead.

i know what you're thinking "where the fuck is james?? lily?? barty??" hehe WELL you're not gonna like this. lily is the villain here and not in a good way. it was a VERY toxic marylily and lily is the Casual girl (chappell roan) ANYWAAAY you're gonna see a LOT of that BUT she does have her redemption arc. i think. maybe.

barty broke up with sirius 2 months before the beginning of the fic (which starts on their american tour at the last couple concerts) they grew up together, its very bittersweet, might give you heartburn. AGAIN redemption arc, they do have a heart-to-heart.

and uhh james is a very happy very sudden very scandalous surprise

ch. 1

this fic in short is the band through their last leg of the american tour when mary flies out early and sirius asks her to join them for the rest of the tour and the european tour in a couple months. mary and sirius hold each other up through harsh breakups and slowly find new love. the marauders era do a lot of dumb shit make a lot of memories. exes come back and get dragged out, maybe-soulmates enter their lives and life happens all at once. but theyre still just kids and they have a lot of laughs

don't worry guys, every couple shall get their minute of fame

basically the journey (and reflective of a couple of characters) of their life together. they find love, they find FRIENDSHIP, they find beauty in the little things, they find laughter and peace and passion. this entire fic for me was to discover all the little things, the day to day things that makes life what it is: beautiful. it's filled with jokes and family and bittersweet memories. its those moments you want to remember when you're old in your rocking chair or young on a porch swing. its all the little bright places.

I saw you asking for hc's so here I am hehe

Sirius would befriend all of Hogwarts lesbians, which is why people thought he was straight for so long, and they (mainly Sirius and Marlene) would occasionally act out over the top dramatic breakups that had a really dumb reason behind it (like Sirius stole Marlene's cookie, or that Marlene became friends on Sirius a painting and Sirius had crowned his enemy) and all of their friends would just be so done with them.

James was absolutely oblivious to Remus and Sirius's relationship. Lily and Regulus would get the signs almost immediately (Like they would know that they were going to end up together in 2nd year or something), and then Peter, Dorcas, Marlene, and Mary a bit later (like 4th year or something), but James didn't know for the longest time. Remus would be telling everyone by saying "Me and Sirius are together" and James would think he met in a platonic way. They would kiss, and James would think it was some sort of joke that they kissed (because even though I do NOT ship prongsfoot, they have at least kissed once) and It would get so extreme they would be making their vows at their wedding (That James thought they were doing for financial reasons) and James would stand up and say "Wait, you two like each other? Romantically?" and Lily would just put her head in her hands and Mary would be grumpily sliding galleons to Regulus.

These are kind of long but I hope you liked them <3

WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe that james would either know from the moment their eyes met or hed find out the night of theur wedding when they want to get away to have sex and james is like why would you guys do that🤨 arent you guys just friends🤨 and then hed be like 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 when he finds out.

and in the background is peter getting rich from all the bets which were placed. like EVERYONE would be betting on it and NOBODY would just out right tell him that theyre both dating.

like when jegulus started dating, i can imagine james being incredibly confused like wait so we do all this, we're dating, but pads and moony are just mates. regulus would be rethinking his entire life choices as james would get to the confusion that they're just doing it cz theyre bored.

and he would talk to sirius like pads maybe you shouldnt kiss moony so much because otherwise youll never be able to properly date someoen, i understand you both like jokes but maybe you should steady on so you can find an actual partner. and whej they would try to explain themselves, peter would start gassing james up. like dont you guys understand how you're taling away from each other's potential partner possiblities? how you're sending the wring message across? and james is like, yes, thankyou peter, you get it, with an eye roll.

also peter would 100% gaslight him the moment james got close enough to find out and finally at the end he would be the won whod have won.

i imagine the day after the part regulus woukd organise a party and it would be "the opening of James Potter's eyes"

Peter Pettigrew 

Token straight friend LOL

I'm not sure he was like rlly all that much of an ally like sure all of his friends were gay asf, but it's not like he had any other friends??

He was such a cutie patootie 😭🙏

You can't convince me he wasn't such a sweetheart before he betrayed them. Like oh Peter WHY 😭

Top ships: I don't rlly ship him with anyone, but I think he had a few casual gfs throughout his years (CUS HES A CUTIEEE)

Pandora Rosier

Lesbian

Looks SO sweet, acts SO sweet, but at the same time is a such a badass <3

She swear alot, cant convince me otherwise <3 (gets it from her (HEADCANON) brother, Evan)

Luna is practically a clone of Pandora's (physically and partly personality wise) like xeno’s genes did NOT put up a fight???

I Also hc that xenophilius is gay or aromantic and so they married eachother bcs they were rlly in love but platonically. Plus they always wanted children and couldn’t imagine it with anyone else<3.

Top ships: Pandora/Mary/lily (one of the only polys I ship), Pandora X rodolphus (crimson rivers)

Top platonic relationships: Pandora and xenophillius (expalined above),Pandora and regulus (AHHHAVHSD MY LOVEE <333), Pandora and Dorcas (Dorcas would be so overprotective of her🙏), Pandora and Barty, Pandora and James (James would be another brother figure for her <3).

In short everyone one is super overprotective of Pandora even though she is a GIRLBOSS

IDGAF energy and #BADASSMF, like Voldemort, HIMSELF, killed dorcas and she put up A FIGHT you can't tell me otherwise ✨

Top ships: Marlene/Dorcas (<<3333 ESP IN CRIMSON RIVERS)

Top platonic relationships: Dorcas and Evan (explained before), Dorcas and Regulus (The reliable older sister), Dorcas and James (Them in Crimson rivers>>>>>)

Dorac and james:  She at first hated James because, for one, he was a jerk in the earlier years,two, he had a prejudice against Slytherin, and three, because Regulus had a huge crush on him and she was overprotective of regulus. But then she discovered how loving and caring James is, and she decided he was perfect for Reggie. She became the one James went on a drink with when he just wanted to relax and not talk.

I didnt write siblings in teh platonic relationships things, cus it just like more than that yk?

Sirius and regulus - So, SO complicated, so much unrseloved problems 😭

They still love eachother DEARLY <3

Srius kept on trying to get regulus to hang with hima nd teh marauders, he tried to stay as close with regulus as he once was. But sirius just coudln’t look at regulus once he got the dark mark 😭. ("What happened to my innocent baby brother who wouldn’t hurt a fly?" )

Evan and Pandora

Evan is so overprotective of her <333

She’s like the only one evan deosnt constantly pick at and be rude with (even with regulus and barty he’s cynical and blunt)

Pandora loves him SO SO much, but wouldn’t talk to him once he got the dark mark. 😭

Siblings are so complicated 😭esp when one of them is on the good side and one is on the dark 😭

Attached are Picrew depictions of what Iheadcanon them to look like <3
