i find it so funny that the fandom decided that padfoot was shortened to PADS. and everyone just accepted it
can you imagine james introducing sirius like
“hey this is my brother his name is sirius but we call him tampon😍”
or like snape being like “ this is my sworn enemy they call him diva cup 😡😡😡”

Do you guys remember the first time you read/watched Harry Potter and thought Snape was responsible for everything only to be hit in the stomach when you found out alongside the characters it was Quirrell all along?
Do you remember reading about Sirius Black escaping jail and wanting to murder Harry and do you remember being ready to throw hands at him? And then do you remember that sinking feeling when you realized he’d been wrongfully imprisoned for twelve years and was painted as the guilty one when it was Peter all along?
Do you remember hearing about the death eater Regulus Black, following in Voldemorts’ footsteps only to be hit with the crushing truth later, that he’d betrayed him and died doing so and no one knew about it and you had, yet again, judged him too harshly?
Do you remember hating Draco and progressively coming to understand the circumstances that led him to that?
Do you remember loving Dumbledore and realizing suddenly how badly he wronged Harry?
Do you ever think about those moments, and how we all judged those characters and fell into the easy trap? Time and time again? How easy it was to gulp down one version and not realize how biased it was?
I feel like if there’s one thing those books taught me it was to never get along with one version of a story. You can’t hear one side and admit it’s the final truth. You can’t judge someone through one lens and not admit it’s skewed. You can’t erase circumstances. You can’t shut out the other side of a story because one is sufficient for you.
If you want to crucify someone for something they did, remember all those times you were ready to crucify Snape, Sirius, Regulus, Draco and so on.
I’m not against holding people accountable for their actions, but I don’t want to get that sinking feeling of guilt that I had with characters on real human beings. And it is inhuman to hold one thing against someone’s head forever—especially when you don’t know the whole story.
We all make mistakes, we all fuck up, and we also, all have our own truth. And we’re also all capable of empathy towards others. 🖤
God knows I hate jkr with a passion but fuck if I love the message that was spread through those arcs.
#also yes I see the snape haters ready to come at me#im not saying he’s flawless but I AM saying we judge too harshly and hp def taught us that#and I’ve seen it sooo much irl#and I feel like cancel culture pushes us into that even more than before#nobody gives a shit abt the other side of the story they’re so quick to throw hands and point fingers#which#pls be careful#there are HUMANS behind your screen#you never know what someone else is dealing with#and you never know their side#please please remember that#anyway FUCK JKR#but those books do hit smh#anti cancel culture#fandom#harry potter#Sirius deserved better#I’ll never get over it#anyway love and peace as always <3#fandom is full of kind and respectful empathetic people and I love them#fandom police#fandom discourse#proship#stan culture#sirius black#regulus black#snape#draco malfoy

“Five hargreeves is the best regulus black variant” I say quietly into the microphone
the crowd boos at me
“Wait, she’s right” two voices in the crowd say in unison, they turn to look at each other, it’s Sirius black and klaus hargreeves.
(aaaa look at the tags)
#Okay but the parallels are unmatched#Like klaus and five seriously give reg and sirius if they didn’t have so much beef#Both pairs grew up in horrible households that expected them to be better than everyone else#Reg and five adapted and did become what was expected of them#Sirius and klaus didn’t and became the craziest versions of themselves that they know their parents would hate#And I know this might not make sense considering how underrated five and klaus’s relationship is but it makes sense to me#Don’t fight me on this#the umbrella academy#dead gay wizards#tua#regulus black#sirius black#sirius and regulus#klaus hargreeves#five hargreeves#five and klaus#the marauders#the black brothers#hargreeves

I need Regulus stans to NEVER speak on Sirius again
#they have the worst fucking takes on that man#and all to make mr. background character look better#if you can’t deal with who he was maybe find someone better to stan rather than ruining everything for everyone else#sirius black#anti regulus black

just realised horrid henry and perfect peter are literally sirius and regulus (+ james as ralph)
#like the way its mostly the fact the parents treat peter better than henry that makes them hate each other#and henry getting in trouble is just him being unable to sit still mostly and just being an undiagnosed neurodivergent kid#and peter does as much bad stuff as henry but he just sucks up to their parents and lies and does study a lot#they're so sirius and regulus fr#marauders era#marauders#sirius black#regulus black#the black brothers#the black family

the marauders fandom is the PERFECT exemple of performative activism.
yall make such a strong point about sexuality thinking it’s doing something while completely erasing the characters personality.
i don’t CARE that regulus black is gay in your eyes what matters is that HE WAS A PUREBLOOD SUPREMACIST. you use sexuality as a shield in a way that’s so counterproductive.
the point of all of this was to make barely existent characters deeper and more complex but it went off to make everyone dumbed down stereotypical version of barely themselves.
we all hate jkr right? but some of you go around erasing the only political aspect of the books for the sake of your little fetishized gay twink story.
you think you are so different from the rest of hp fans because you make characters gay but you ignore the racial and gender stereotypes aspects of everything. as a woman and a NON WHITE woman hearing people talking about their favourite ships and characters is WILD.
all of you put such an importance on being respectful to peoples opinions but only when it comes to sexuality. the moment someone criticizes your love for canonically racist little assholes that did so much damage instead of deepening characters that ARE CANONICALLY WHAT YOU MAKE FANON INTO you freak out and call them names.
the fight for the LGBTQ+ community is not singular. it goes hand in hand with many other fights like for racial equality and gender equality.
before you comment “ LeT pEOplE liVe” or “ In My HeadCaNonS theYre nOT liKE THAT” i don’t care about the me.me.me speech
i care about what you make popular. what had taken over the fandom and what is being seen by the younger audience that you make seem as normal

it's been a while since i interacted with the marauders fandom, (like a month or two) but one recurring theme that i saw was the drastic recon of a lot of the slytherins in that era.
i remember when your main cast in your average marauders fic was mostly gryffindors, and then a lot of the antagonists were slytherins. barty and evan were almost always villains (bullies, toxic exes, etc) and regulus was an angst device for sirius. nowadays, the main cast is split into two main friend groups, gryffindors and slytherins. most gryffindors have a slytherin they're paired with (lily and dorcas [which btw i remember when dorcas was a gryffindor], james and regulus, etc etc). the slytherins all have family issues where their parents are blood purists and they don't agree with them and it's a whole thing blah blah blah
i like that there is more diversity in where the characters come from, but there is so much nuance that is stripped of these characters to make them all get along. regulus is the number one victim of this.
i've noticed there is a desire to make the characters people like morally good. they preach about grey characters, but when it comes down to it there is always a justification for the "bad" things they do. sometimes people do bad things because they believe bad things. regulus is a bad guy. he is a death eater, he gets the dark mark and everything. a lot of people write that regulus secretly agreed with sirius the whole time, but it makes it so much more interesting if sirius and regulus's morals actually clash instead of regulus just agreeing with his parents. i personally love when sirius and regulus are close in their childhood and then it changes as they both mature and find themselves.
i think if we look at the characters realistically, regulus barty and evan would never truly get along with people like james and sirius. they're both righteous people (ESPECIALLY james) who would not tolerate blood purism. and that's interesting to explore and to write! sirius watching his brother become a complete stranger who resents him because their morals conflict is so interesting!! you don't have to take away murky morals from a character so they can make out with your fav... which leads me to my next thing.
the jegulus boom. i remember when jegulus was a crack ship and now i think it's literally up there in popularity with wolfstar. i used to ship it as a joke, and in the beginning it was cute but honestly i don't see this ever being an actually healthy relationship. again, james has very strong morals and he would not tolerate regulus being a death eater. he would also ALWAYS choose sirius and he wouldn't stay in a relationship with someone who would cause sirius so much pain. there are a select few circumstances where i see them in a select few dynamics??? but i just don't see it happening.
it's sad because i feel like lily has been tossed aside for fandom's new bl ship. like i love wlw ships with all my heart but sometimes it seems like they come out of people wanting to do something with the canon female love interest. jily is such a beautiful and adorable ship, and the chemistry is honestly so much better than jegulus if i'm being honest. lily is also such an interesting character and you can still get your enemies to lovers fix out of jily. you don't need to compromise the morals of both james and regulus for your yaoi.
it always struck me as weird that these canon death eaters are suddenly heroes now, as in they never believed this shit at all and they're actually victims of their families and society and stuff. don't get me wrong, they definitely are, but it would be better if it wasn't just "i always thought this is wrong and i'm the rebel in my family!" people in these systems actually do get brainwashed and manipulated, and they do believe these things wholeheartedly.
i understand the whole thing with marauders is that there is no canon and you can do whatever you want, but sometimes the characters are just so flat. regulus is interesting to me because he was a bad person but he ultimately chose to sacrifice himself for something good. there's also the issue with changing the characters to the point where they're completely unrecognizable from canon. jkr is a shit writer, but that doesn't change the fact that james has been repeatedly described in canon as a righteous man with incredibly strong beliefs. he may have been a little shit, but never to the point where he would date a death eater. he literally pantsed one upside down and washed their mouth out with soap.
i'm also not saying the old fics were better. there used to be a LOTTT of inconsistency with the characterization of a lot of side characters like dorcas and mary and marlene. i love that the new fandom has given these characters a chance to shine. (well, the male ones at least...) i'm also also not saying that the slytherins should be just bad guys again. i feel like we've flopped from making them total assholes to angels that rebel a little bit.
i could honestly talk about the issues within the marauders fandom for literal hours, but the slytherins are something that has bothered me for a while now. don't be scared to make your skrunklies evil, they don't even have to be evil the whole time you can give them a killer redemption arc 👍
#this is messy i wrote it at midnight and i'm sick#we need to talk more about how everyone has done lily so dirty#ship who you want but objectively jily is better than jegulus idc#lily and james have more chemistry in their pinky toes than james and regulus do#harry potter#marauders#james potter#sirius black#lily evans#regulus black#anti jegulus

Screw Sirius being cool about jegulus/Starchaser, because when is he ever cool about anything?
Honestly he'd give BOTH of them the shovel talk.
Sirius: James, my brother has had a hard life and he's fragile and if you hurt him, so help me I'll shatter you into a million pieces to see how you like it.
Also Sirius: Regulus, my platonic soulmate has the sweetest, most kind and trusting heart and if you break his trust or his heart, I will not hesitate to bury you alive.
#Sirius Black#is loyal to a fault#James potter#regulus black#jegulus#marauders#starchaser#sunseeker#brotherhood works multiple ways for him#the black brothers have shared trauma and Sirius understands regulus struggles better than anything#but James was Sirius' rock and salvation when Sirius felt alone in the world#he would have unending loyalty to both of them#and he wants more than anything for them to be happy#so i don't think he'd be fighting their relationship#but i think the threats would come first

imagine lily 'took him faster than you can say sabotage' evans stealing james 'he was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches' potter from regulus 'there is nothing i do better than revenge' black.
the drama, the prank wars, sirius' choice.
(for the record i adore lily and never think she would do such a thing, nor james seem so 2d, but nevertheless the idea and breakdown of consequent relationships never fails to interest me)
