Lack of wolfstar is my middle name actually

Sirius and Severus should have been sexed up abusive lesbians

thank you thank you THANK YOU yes they should be crazy bitch fighting in a too small apartment with crippling addictions why is that so hard to understand !!!!

So I have a question for my followers: are there any conspiracy theories you’re 100% convinced are real

Remus was not tied or two points ahead or below students like Sirius, Lily, Snape, and James. Stop this. He was a little above average at best. Be so fr. He was not brilliant or talented. They were.

The Death Eaters were fascists

Please read the whole thing through. I am saying this specifically for audiences that forget what Death Eaters stood for.

Their ideology was centred on:

⁃ Pureblood supremacy

⁃ Genocide of non-wizards

⁃ Genocide of muggleborns

⁃ Torture and murder of “blood-traitors”

⁃ Government infiltration and dictatorship

I really don’t understand how fans (so many of whom hate JKR, are Palestine activists and are watching the USA fall under a fascist regime) aren’t connecting the dots.

People seem keen to forget that the Death Eaters and their supporters were canonically privileged aristocrats (the Malfoys, Regulus Black and his parents, Barty Crouch Jr, the Lestranges and likely many more but these are the only ones I could find EXPLICIT mentions of being from privileged backgrounds) who thought of themselves as superior for unproven reasons that were canonically false.

This is why so much of the fandom hates it when people create tragic backstories for blood supremacists, think up inclusive headcannons for them or ship them with resistance fighters.

People may as well be making headcannons about Hitler, Donald Trump or Elon Musk.

There are exactly two dark characters that we know the backstories of pre-dark alignment: Severus Snape and Tom Riddle.

(Not mentioning Regulus and Peter because there’s no in-depth information on them in cannon. Draco was aligned towards the dark since the beginning so I’m not mentioning him either.)

These two ACTUALLY have troubled pasts! Severus Snape comes from abject poverty and Tom Riddle was orphaned and grew up in an place where he was disliked as a young child.

This doesn’t excuse the stuff they did, but it seems strange the fandom (Marauders Era fandom especially) creates fannon backstories for fascists they like while ignoring the cannon ones for fascists they dislike.

It is a fact of history that any up-and-coming fascist movement starts from the top down. Only the elite can pass oppressive laws and hide their misdeeds behind money. Then they employ the people below them.

(To anyone about to argue that this contradicts what I said about Tom Riddle not being privileged; we have canon information that tells us that muggleborns and muggles were already viewed as “lesser” far before his time. Tom just used his charm and intelligence to organise the fascists into a group which made it easier to commit genocide.)

The fandom want to headcannon every character as lgbtqia+, autistic, poc, disabled and whatever else.

I really need you guys to have a reality check: there is no racist organisation that draws the line at racism. None. They will always find another target.

Now, does this mean your interpretation of the characters shouldn’t be diverse? FUCK NO!!! I am literally begging you all to continue making the characters POC and queer and whatever else you want! HOWEVER, Please think of what it means to be a Death Eater and consider what it may say about you to be fixated on a fascist’s race, romance and friendships when there are SO MANY other non-Death Eater characters who would be better suited for your headcannons.

Hermione Granger (muggleborn who fought for house-elf rights and in the war against the people trying to kill her kind) would absolutely have a dictionary on pronouns memorised, start eight different heritage clubs and hex any racist she came across.

Remus Lupin (werewolf who has lived a life of discrimination due to his condition) 100% could be a disability ally! He knows firsthand how unseen mental and physical disabilities weigh you down and impact how people view you.

Luna Lovegood (bullied for being strange) take one look at her character and you will understand that this girl would be using (and probably creating) neopronouns and being the one all of the bullied people flock to for comfort.

You could take anyone who fought in the rebellion or their allys (just skim the wiki, there are lots of interesting characters) or even create an original character if none of them suit your fancy.

I personally feel quite offended by the way much of the fandom treats Death Eaters.

I remember kids drawing swastikas on the school windowsill while having pride pins on their bags.

They thought it was funny.

I remember learning about the pink triangles. I remember being called a gypsy for having old ill-fitting clothes and tan skin. I remember reading Anne Frank. I remember not being able to dance with a girl at prom.

I remember reading Harry Potter: a story about how kids stood up against a fascist takeover.

Now more than ever we need to be remembering these things.

i think we need more mean guy friend sirius. he is a bitch to all his female friends and they hit him (yes he knows we should stop no he won't go a day wo telling them they've gained weight)

i think we make non-death eater pure bloods too “nice”

andromeda can love ted and not be prejudiced against him for being muggleborn, but still have some anti-muggle/squib biases. i firmly believe shes still a black through and through. she can be progressive and still carry the pride she was raised with. personally, my adromeda thinks she better than everybody, and sees a “proper” way to life. eg wanting tonks to keep her hair natural colours and her face human and use the right fork for salad godammit! she can accept her werewolf son in law but also be a difficult mother!

same goes for sirius. its canon he thinks hes better than everybody and can get away with anything. he bullied/pranked kids at hogwarts not because he was blood purist, but because he was the popular guy.

even the blood purist blacks. i think they refused to join volemort because he was some low-born wannabe sacred 28 (half blood secretly). theyre old money. theyre not on the streets killing muggleborn wizards, theyre removing squibs from the family tree and moving laws so pure bloods have more sway. they dont rally against muggles because they see them as ants.

even james’ parents. they werent blood purists, but that doesnt mean they were perfect parents. james in hogwarts was very mich the product of two eldery parents who treat their little miracle like he owns the world. i know theyd get brought into the principal’s office in kindergarten because james threw sand at a bunch of girls and pulled their hair (cuz they didnt pay attention to him) and they were like “ummm no that doesnt sound like james, our baby wouldnt do that” and then theyd get hik ice cream after

do you think obi wan and cody would always tell each other that "duty comes first" and they both know it should but also they are both kinda lying to themselves cause they both see each other as more important than their duty, they just can't act on it. and then order 66 happens. and obi wan finds out that it was an order from palpatine. and he thinks that after everything, duty did come first for cody.

i got nona <3 sweet baby girl

Love my disgusted wife

By request, i present you best quiz ever

the inglorious mask

I don't usually make an au but OHHH MY GOD marauders-star wars au i will CRY

republic of hallowed is like the empire

wizangemot, the previous senate

YKNOW YKNOW YKNOW

James, from a previously noble house of the wizangemot then turned smuggler before it fell to the republic of hallowed

Sirius, force sensitive, from a renowned family known by the colour of their robes (Black) and their lightsabers (red). Defected and on the run

Remus, smuggler even before the fall of the senate and definitely has ties with the Order (rebels), but more pressingly is trying to get out of an old deal he had made with Greyback.

Peter, (SECRETLY) force sensitive, joined their crew as a mechanic but surprisingly pretty handy with a gun !!! He is a part of the rebels before any of the others, an established secrets dealer (and we all know how that can go downhill)

Lily, one of the last remaining jedi (she's really still a padawan) and a part of the resistance, mourning her best friend who was killed following order 66, and still confused about how she could have been spared by the sith.

Severus. I mean. He turned. He was a padawan with Lily before the call from the dark side became too strong, took part in the slaughter of many of the remaining jedi, could not bring himself to kill Lily, so he lied to his master after he spared her. He still got that light side in him tho

SOO many thoughts on the house of black I could SCREAM, and just generally feeling the rush

nvm so I did finish the second half lmao

they pining 🙄🤢

btw can James wear lipstick more pls.. he's so...

if I get a content label for this completely non explicit art, I'm suing Tumblr

Mmmmm fleurdora raising Teddy

I have a love/hate relationship with the Marauders because. James Potter? People like you are the reason I used to hate going to school and I need you to know you are NOT funny. Sirius Black? You're with James Potter. Remus Lupin? You're like the spineless husband in AI-generated Reddit stories where everyone in the comments is telling OP to leave you. Peter Pettigrew? I've read the Harry Potter books.

But also ha ha I'm going to make some wizards KISS

While making dinner tonight, I very very fleetingly, but very seriously and legitimately thought “I should watch Goncharov tonight”

And then I Remembered.

Sirius and James have the most insane pretty privilege (especially when they’re together)

I accept wolfstarbucks only in the form where prongsfoot are smitten with each other and they're official but Remus is just given scraps and is brought into the bedroom to spice it up for James and Sirius but they don't REALLY like him it's just fun and Remus knows and is completely okay with it because it's the only way he gets romantic attention from sirius

"Wolfstar would never happen during Hogwarts." I say. People are boo-ing. They want me off stage. "Wolfstar would only happen in adulthood if James died. As the last two survivors trope. In no universe that James is alive would Sirius end up with Remus." I continue. The crowd gets worse. "She's right!" I hear. I turn my head before leaving and see Remus fucking Lupin, who in fact is aware that he can't have Sirius in any universe where James breathes.

toxic prongsfoot (not an anti post just a thought)

People love to portray prongsfoot as the most healthy and wholesome relationship ever but have y'all seen how codependent those two were? Writing them as toxic would be interesting i think. They definitely do not get as much time apart as they should. And combined with the fact that they were both annoying fuckers, they def got fed up of each other once in a while. Imagine Sirius getting overstimulated by James's attentipn seeking antics and seeking refuge by spending alone time with Remus and venting. James getting pissed off by Sirius's whining and giving Peter a sideways look that means "he's doing it again". And they never ever say it to each other's faces bc thats just the way they are, but Peter and Remus hear all about it (and for that matter, Effie & Monty do too) and it confuses the hell out of them. Once in a while James will do something that makes Sirius want to scratch his own skin off and he'll try to be distant for a few days but it's no good at all because they're so tangled up with each other. He immediately sees something he wants to tell James or they've already begun a prank together that James needs him for so its forgotten and they're back to being joint at the hip. It makes Sirius feel really guilty because there are moments where he's just barely tolerating James and suddenly he says something and they both laugh and the illusion just shatters. Sirius is just overwhelmingly reminded of how much he loves James and how much better his life is because of him. Sirius is well and truly obsessed with him like 90% of the time, and finds comfort in the co-dependence and being needed. But there are still days where he wants to just hide away with Moony and try to get the bad taste out of his mouth because the love of his life is not a perfect person by any means and it gets under his nerves.

IDK just my thoughts and probably me projecting about my own prongsfoot coded friendship but yeah

During the 4th book:

Ron: Sirius-

Sirius, indignant: James used to call me that

Harry: That's because it's your bloody name

Hermione:

for the fandom that loves drarry and jegulus, and complains that the female characters (and sapphic ships)—specifically lily evans—dont get enough love, theres barely any noise for narcissa x lily

the slytherinxgryffindoor, black family drama, foils whos love for their sons saved the wizarding world

black cat, rich girl and academic weapon muggleborn bond over their estranged sibling dynamics and want for a family to protect and love

the tension between present narcissa and snape (especially when she has him form an unbreakable vow to protect her son) when they both wanted lily but fumbled it to protect themselves

the angst when draco comes home complaining about the potter boy—who, just like in narcissa’s life, lily is hidden within, not in surname but in the eyes and the heart.

the extra weight it puts on the scene where narcissa defies Voldemort in telling him that harry is dead. my son is safe so i will give you the same favour, lily.

both lily and narcissa marrying into families notoriously loud and opposing on the wizengamot—marrying young to the pretty and popular, but also asshole boys from school

narcissa watching draco complain about how harry is dating the cool jock, and then much later watching her son mourn his dead lover

lily inciting the plot of HP by killing Voldemort with the power of love and narcissa ending it because of her love (I mean I headcanon it as accompanied by an ideological conversion but that is not the intended takeaway) make narlily an incredibly compelling ship

narcissa black malfoy and lily evans potter.

so similar.

both sisters. both wives. both mothers.

yet different.

narcissa who grew up knowing the importance of family. blood is thicker than water and words are shaper than knives. narcissa who never cared much for being a daughter but wore her role as sister proudly. she looked up to them. she learned from them—what to do and what not to do.

lily who was a sister only in name. who hated spending time at home when her real family had never lived there or even stepped foot in her neighborhood. lily who found solace in school and magic, far away from anyone related to her.

self perseverance is in narcissa’s nature. she never acts until necessary. never stands out or speaks up. and she survives because of it.

lily had never liked being quiet and refused to do so when her friends’ lives are at stake. lily who refused the most powerful dark wizard in britain thrice and lost her life for it.

two women who would do it all over again if it meant saving their sons.

Gideon raised by Wake Au!

quick prongsfoot hockey au.

i like jegulus only in the context of: prongsfoot is well established and reg, whos been pining after james, is bitter that he yet again fell short to his perfect older brother

narlily should've been the main ship of the marauders era now that I think about it. but people hate women I guess. they are literally the two most important women of their generation and most talked about in canon. everyone eats it up with jegulus but NARLILY! you have all the dynamics there: gryffindor/slytherin, muggle family/pureblood family, poor/rich, fire/ice, day/night, idk readhaired/black hair. they have both the biggest hearts. their sacrifices for love. the determination. AND THEY ARE HOT AF

If you're a marauders fan and you bash James or Lily, you're not a true marauders fan. They are the reason for the marauders, they are it, they are everything. Remus, who? Regulus, who? Sirius, who? Mary, who? JAMES AND LILY
