an essential part of writing marauders fics is the google search entitled "synonym for serious"
you know the marauders brainrot is bad whenever you see anything red and green together and immediately think of ahb instead of christmas..
shipping Barty with Evan is just right.
shipping Barty with Regulus feels so good.
shipping Barty with Sirius hits different.
shipping Barty with Lily scratch the right part of my brain.
shipping Barty with James wakes something new in me.
shipping Barty is the answer.
Barty is everything.

Wolfstar hits harder if Remus isn't conventionally attractive.
Because while Sirius is still deep in denial and internalized homophobia, he's convincing himself like "it's okay, i'm not gay, anyone would want to kiss Remus once in a while, he's just objectively hot"
Except Remus is ankward and quiet when not around friends, he's too tall like he grew up too fast and doesn't know what to do with this extra height, his scars scare people away, he wears grandpa sweaters, drinks tea in his free time and goes to sleep at 9 pm, he can't flirt for the life of him (even though he could bc he's witty and sarcastic) because he has no self-confidence and it shows.
He's basically a loser (affectionate) and Sirius is like "it's okay, no need to panic, he's the sexiest man on earth but that's just an astute observation, no gay thoughts here"
and i just think that's funny as hell
In every Wolfstar fic there's one trope that I really REALLY love: Sirius always being/becoming best friend with James.
It could be a muggle AU, they could be strangers, whatever, Sirius and James always find each other and become BBF.
(And when they don't, they do in my mind)
I love it sm 😭
Things About Marauders #2
Mary hated Lily at the start of Hogwarts because Lily was friends with Snape, and he was everything that her ancestors had fought against.
She did NOT leave her muggle life to come to the wizarding world to be discriminated against, for something that wasn't under her control, again.
It wasn't until 2nd year where Lily had slapped Severus for calling someone a mudblood that she deemed her okay to be friends with or in her words, "bless lily with her amazing presence"
MARAUDERS HEADCANON #2
Remus and Sirius were always very close, so when they started dating nobody suspected anything of the extra hugs and long "good nights".
Until one day, after a especially hard moon, Remus comes into the common room and just sits next to his boyfriend and kisses him full on the mouth.
Not many people were shocked, but James made a scandal, complaining about why they hadn't told HIM.
Peter and Lily were just whispering to each other "I knew it".

regulus black responding to the slightest inconvenience with “i’m gonna kms” is so essential to me
Sirius became Sirius Lupin, he wanted nothing to do with the Black family anymore
Regulus became Regulus Potter-Black, while he wanted nothing to do with his family, they were still a part of him, but he was more than them, and he was a Potter first
