#same with marlene

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

Peter realised that everyone was doing couple costumes for Halloween 1981 but he didn't have anyone to do an outfit with so he made that EVERYONES problem

Famous last words

[barlowstreet]

I just thought of something kind of awful.

Ellie is kidnapped by a group of people, locked up, and isolated while scared out of her mind. Then the leader of that group comes in and talks to her like she's an adult. They tell her they're the reason she wasn't killed by their group and she should be grateful for that. They bring up someone she cares about and make her feel guilty about them getting hurt. They tell her that she's special and that other people aren't like her, and they ask her to do something for them they think only she can do. They don't give her a choice in the matter, really.

Who am I talking about?

Marlene or David?

okay but sarah celebrating tommy every year for mother’s day

[pandorasstars]

lily mary and marlene have all kissed at least once you can’t convince me otherwise

[odillisea]

I love being a multishipper in the marauders fandom. Two characters exist? Yeah, sure they can kiss why not. I can see it. And we can literally just change bits and pieces of the characters to make them fit better if we really want to because we made them up in the first place.

It’s like a small child smashing two barbies together to make them kiss. If we say they can work together as a ship, then it will happen. Literally nothing can stop us.

there is a big discussion to be had about why butch/femme dynamics are the norm and completely okay but a more feminine man existing in an mlm couple is disgusting and vile and homophobic and evil and horrible and-

not by me tho. y'all fill in the blanks on this one. the answer is misogyny.

[enbysiriusblack]

lily and marlene are one of the boys and all four marauders are one of the girls.

Can we talk about the Time Travel Memories box?

I had generally knew it existed before today but only discovered this aspect just now and holy shit I need to talk about it.

I went to a pop-up store today that was selling BTTF merch and saw a display case full of the materials from the Time Travel Memories box. At first I thought, ‘oh cool! There’s all kinds of replica props and interesting maps and photos!’

But then I noticed this:

I couldn’t read all of the letter, so I hunted down an unboxing video on YouTube to read the rest. And you know what it is? It’s an in-character letter from Marty to Dave and Linda.

And oh boy, does it have some interesting implications.

The full letter explains that Marty is lost somewhere in the past with Doc (what a surprise), and that Marty hasn’t seen his siblings in a while because of it. Apparently Marty has already revealed to Dave and Linda that he’s a time traveler, but they didn’t believe him, so he’s left them a box of evidence to prove it.

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

When did he decide to tell them this? And why? How long has this been an open secret? He mentions Junior and Marlene in the letter, so it’s got to be at least a decade or more after the trilogy ended (probably close to 15+ years later if his kids were still born around the same time as they were born in the crushed hand timeline). Have they known the entire time? How has this affected their relationship? Marty carried a photo of the three of them in his wallet, so he must care at least somewhat for them, right? How much distance has him coming clean to them caused? Are Dave and Linda the only ones he’s told? What about George and Lorraine? Did they also get a version of this letter? Had they already been told about the time travel or have they figured it out on their own?

AND YOU KNOW HOW HE SIGNS THE LETTER?

Your brother in time, Marty

Dorlene <33 i love them so much

[shrewfern]

ok. um. maruders wicked au

so. sirius is elphaba, regulus is nessarose, remus is glinda, james is fiyero, lily is sarima, walburga is melena, orion is frex, peter is boq(?), snape is maddame morrible, marlene and marry are shenshen and pfanee (idk who else to put in their place), maybe voldemort as the wizard? andddd uhh yeah.

i was thinking it'd be based more around the book than the film (don't get me wrong the film and broadway adaptations are great, but i just greatly prefer the book): regulus has no arms and is a religious tyrant; james can either be the outgoing movie fiyero or the more reserved book fiyero, either works imo. all i care about is that the last thing he does before he dies is shit in a bucket and eat some saltines.

ok bye.

i’m very much enjoying your blog, i’m glad that more people like you active in this fandom space despite the stupidity around it. Thank you for your service for clocking tea(s)!

Hahaha, well, it helps me vent too because honestly, I read some incredibly stupid arguments. The worst part is that, for example, in Snape's case, it's quite curious how fans of the Golden Trio—who he always treated like crap despite everything—tend to be much more lenient and understanding towards him, and maybe they don't like him, but the general opinion is more sympathetic. The problem lies with the Marauder fans who have taken those four characters and a bunch of random names throughout the saga that have literally zero relevance to the plot, turning them into OCs with canon surnames as a sort of sublimation of their fantasies of building a group of teenagers like Elite or Riverdale in a magical fanfic version. And to make everything fit, they have to use Severus as a punching bag because if they don’t, they have to admit that their beloved characters were a gang of abusers, bullies, and rich kids who took advantage of their status, which doesn't fit their narrative.

But anyway, as always, I’m advocating for the most bashed characters in fandoms—making hot takes about Severus reminds me of when I used to defend Sansa Stark, lol.

congrats to Laura Bailey for being the only voice actor from the games to survive their role in the show

[serenisastar]

I just know that Effie Potter is the milf to end all milfs there is no higher level she is the endgame

And you best believe that every one of James’ friends (and indeed more) are falling over themselves and forgetting their names when she speaks, especially the girls
