BRO LET THE MARAUDERS CHARACTERS BE UGLY
I'm so serious about this plsss they cannot all possibly be conventionally attractive
Genuinely though most fanart of the marauders characters is like INSANELY different from what they look like in canon,, which in a lot of cases is fine like I think making the marauders cast more diverse is a lot more fun and less boring and uh yes I'm a fan but this means more than making them different races/ethnicities this means making them different body types and different facial features
Because even though we pride ourselves on making the fandom super diverse and shit we still make all the characters adhere to like eurocentric beauty standards, and the only characters that don't look like fucking super models are characters the fandom generally dislikes.
a lot of times fanart is the same exact button nose, more like white facial features and the only difference is that some characters are darker than others and MAYBE they'll have different hair textures.
Just because a character isn't attractive to you doesn't mean they're suddenly a bad character or objectively unattractive.
plssss can we start diversifying the marauders cast (also I'm not gonna like beat people up if they keep drawing all the characters the same like you choose how you engage in fandom I'm just personally tired of this)
no one asked me to explain this but i want to
plato has a quote “opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance”
in the pilot episode, misty receives a prank call from some girls accusing her of doing anal, to which she responds quoting plato. or rather, misquoting plato
she says “opinion is the WILDERNESS between knowledge and ignorance”
i see this as intentional on the writers part since the word “wilderness” holds a lot of weight in the yellowjackets universe. the girls use “wilderness” to refer to the force/deity they encounter in the wild and blame for all the sinister things that take place/that they do
many people theorize whether or not the “wilderness” is supernatural or if it is a figment of the girls imagination that they use to cope with what happened in the canadian rockies
i argue that the show will never reveal the answer. the question itself is the main theme of the show, and the writers toy with us using plausible deniability with any supernatural event (lottie’s schizophrenia, tai’s genetic mental health issue (??), etc.)
i believe this because of the aforementioned misty line; the writers told us plainly that this “wilderness” the girls believe in is a result of the blind spot between ignorance and knowledge about what is really going on
we will never know if the “wilderness” is real or not, because the only thing that is real is that the yellowjackets did what they had to do to survive and now they have to live with it
i want to give the Yellowjackets writers kudos for dropping the line “opinion is the wilderness between knowledge and ignorance” in the pilot episode
and i want to send my condolences that it has gone so far unnoticed
phenomenal theme foreshadowing
jilypad but james is an attention whore and starts pouting and throwing a fit if they both arent touching him 100% of the time during sex
sirius and lily give any amount of affection to each other and hes like “what about. me. :(“
can i propose no-bow-nery
The masculine connotation of a bow tie and the feminine connotation of a bow on the top of the head implies a nonbinary bow style placed directly over the nose
the fact that lily and james BOTH chose sirius to be the godfather to their only son, knowing that they were in a war, hunted by voldemort, and would likely die.
like the bond is already there between all three of them. prongsfoot is basically half canon, jily is canon, and lilypad exchange letters + have a deep amount of trust for the other
jily and prongsfoot are the only agreed upon soulmates in the marauders canon (whether ypu believe it romantic or platonic)
it would be such a natural, believable evolutiom for jilypad to exist
but no, we ship jily with their best man/best friend/godfathers blood supremacist brother whom they never canonically interacted with
we ship the muggle born and blood traitor with the death eater
over the blood traitor black who they both loved
why ship jegulily when jilypad is right there
happy birthday remus lupin! heres one of my fav pics of you to celebrate. you look great here
chussy (plural)
I beg you I was alone in the darkness with the wolves (I thought no one shipped prongsfoot) I have been suffering in my quest of finding my light (searching the internet all night for prongsfoot content) and I have finally found peace (downloaded tumblr) because there is always light at the end of the tunnel (there ARE prongsfoot shippers and I need all of you to be my moots)
This poll is being ran purely out of curiosity, and I ask that you please specify where exactly you hc James to be from in the comments or reblogs !!
Edit: I forgot to put both south asian or middle eastern bc I'm an idiot who's bad at geography. If you see him as either, please put other and explain which country(ies) you hc him to be from !! Both regions will be included in the next poll I do
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
this is so rogue but does anyone have the poetry template that went semi-viral on twitter a while back? it was designed for kids but someone gave it to their mother who has dementia and she wrote a really moving poem about her experience.
