James and Sirius are both kind, but in different ways.
James is sweet and kind. He’s loud and makes it known that he’s a nice person (not necessary on purpose, it’s just how he is). He’s all for grand gestures and big moments.
Sirius is stoic and kind. He does little things for people without even expecting them to know it was him. He fixes things and helps out without making a big deal about it, and people only really notice when their oven is actually getting to temperature or their bathroom door no longer squeaks.
May I suggest Peter Pettigrew x Charity Burbage? I think that would be fun. I headcannon Peter as being really insecure hit desperately wanting someone to love him, then Charity, an attractive, kind, confident girl just kind of. Shows up? She pinches his cheeks and kisses his nose a lot. He melts every time. His friends tease him about it, but they’re all way worse about their significant others.
I think that in a good AU, Peter would become a healer, probably one that specializes in treatment of kiddos (wizard family doctor/paediatrician). We know that Charity is a professor at Hogwarts. I think they didn’t really know each other when they were students. They knew of each other, I think, but only had a couple of conversations in shared classes. Peter always thought she was pretty, but never did anything about it.
Later in life, they met and got closer through Remus when he became a professor, too, at some point in their mid-early 20s. They took it very slowly, starting as acquaintances, then friends, then, after at least a few years, started dating. Now, despite getting together so slowly, I think that they were close enough by the time they finally made it official that they were a bit quicker than usual when it came to becoming serious. The second they got together, they were exclusive. Maybe eight months later they move in together. I’m imagining they’re nearing 30 at this point.
When they get engaged, it’s Charity who gets down on one knee. They get married, like, a year after moving in together. Not a lot of people are invited, but it’s a pretty big event. They both like big parties and events, but they also have a strong sense of family and would want to keep their close friends/family there without people they don’t know well.
Anyways that’s my rant for tonight thank you so much for reading. Please accept my contributions.
Sirius has never actually called Lily her name, btw. He calls her Lilian and Lilibet and Lilith and Lillete and Lilah and Lizabeth and Liliana and Lydia and Liana and Lilette. Never just Lily.
She tries to do it to him in return, but there’s not much that Sirius can be short for. She compensates by calling him names and teasing him constantly.
Regulus Black Headcanons?? Or Remus Lupin headcanons:)
First off, I’d love to thank you for taking the time to send me an ask! Now, how about both?
Let’s start with Regulus, because I have less to say about him.
He’s trans. I did a longer post related to this, but it just makes sense to me.
He’s aro/ace. No more comments on this. Maybe he’s not completely aro/ace but he’s on the spectrum.
Speaking of spectrums, he’s autistic.
He excels in potions and charms, but falls short in DADA (ironically) and transfiguration (double ironic, considering his brother).
Looked up to Sirius more than anyone else.
Hated James more than anything for “stealing” his brother.
Hated Remus for getting more attention from Sirius.
Believed his parents over everything once they started getting mean with Sirius.
Really small— like, 5’2 - 5’3 and all of 100 pounds.
Did genuinely support Voldemort until just before his death.
Died hoping that Sirius would find his note and realize that he ended up like him. He wanted to make his brother proud.
He was not a good or bad person. He was deeply flawed and could be awful, but he was also a victim of his parents manipulation.
Was not abused to the extent that Sirius was, but he was mistreated and neglected.
He didn’t have any real friends and didn’t like people much, if at all.
He would’ve been either a potion maker or a part of the wizegamot if he lived.
Alrighty, that was more than I expected. On to Remus!
He is also trans.
He is biromantic and homosexual (experiences romantic attraction to people of multiple genders, but only sexual attraction to men).
He and Lyall had a very strained relationship when we was young, because Lyall blamed himself for Remus being bitten.
Has PTSD, paranoia, and very bad anxiety.
A very heavy sleeper most of the time. He also requires a lot of sleep to function and loves sleeping.
Takes a lot of naps.
Has chronic back and leg pain that worsens around the moon and his period.
Has sharper canine teeth and pointy ears, like a wolf.
Very very very socially awkward and doesn’t understand people.
Also autistic.
Excels in care of magical creatures and charms. Struggles with arithmancy and transfiguration.
Always cold.
Steals Sirius’ (or whoever you headcannon him being with) jumpers, mostly so he can do sweaterpaws and because he loves drowning in him clothes.
He’s always scared of physical contact because he’s worried he’ll hurt people.
He’s a cuddler. He acts like he isn’t (see previous headcannon), but he loves being held and loved.
He prefers being the little spoon, but he’ll be the big spoon if his partner wants.
He’s pretty average height— about 5’10– but very skinny and light, about 115 pounds.
Surprisingly sensitive. He acts very aloof and calm, but he takes things very hard internally.
Not an angry person. Most of his “negative” emotions just translate to sadness and self blame.
Quite insecure, but not debilitatingly so. He just perpetually underestimates himself and doesn’t like himself all that much.
Was a virgin until Sirius (or whoever you headcannon him with).
Is pretty afraid of people. He worries that they’ll figure out his secrets.
Very kind and patient, but can be short-tempered around the full moon.
Not a natural straight-O student. He studies very hard to get good grades. He needs to make sure he uses the opportunity for schooling he was given!
Is very evasive and self-blaming whenever he gets angry, mostly out of guilt.
Crooked teeth.
Super close with Hope. She was his only friend until Hogwarts.
If he wasn’t an only child, he’d be the youngest sibling, just on account of vibes.
He really likes being independent and truly hates having to fully depend on anyone, especially when he has to.
Has freckles on his face and shoulders and knees (which are very knobbly btw).
I hope that these live up to your expectations and that you enjoyed them! I’m not a very big Regulus fan if that wasn’t obvious, but I do find him very very very fascinating. Thanks again for the ask!
Jokes on you, he crochets as well
Sirius: “No I’m normal everyone thinks Remus is the hottest person alive”
Remus: excuses himself from a party after 10 minutes bc he wants to go knit. Wearing the most heinous jumper even your grandfather would shy away from. Blacks out after one (1) beer. Dies if someone makes eye contact with him. Sits awkwardly in the corner trying not to cry when he has to stay in a party for too long (fails every time). Bones pop 87 times every time he stands up. Cannot sit on the floor or he will need to be picked up bc his back is so bad. Asks Sirius + James + Peter to kiss his booboos bc his mummy used to do it and it made it feel better. Always has at least 3 books on him but needs Sirius to carry them bc he’s too weak. Hates smoking bc he’s worried about cancer. Very awkward. Loser.
Me when I love somebody so much I write them porn for their birthday (targeted)
That is when I propose
but what if i read one of your fanfics and then went to your ao3 account and read all of your fanfics and left a comment on every single chapter of every single one and you got spam emails from all of my kudos and comments and it made you smile, what then? what if i brighten your day with my words like you did mine, what then???
No way in hell I just saw someone say Jily doesn’t make sense??? HELLO??? ITS THE BACKBONE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES?????
Sirius is the opposite of touchy, bro will punt you if you get too close (he’s traumatized annoyed by touch). James, Peter, and Remus are all pretty touchy people (Remus acts like he’s not bc he’s scared to hurt people, but he is). The first time Sirius gives them hugs (which are really just him awkwardly putting an arm around their shoulders and squeezing a bit, maybe with a back pat or something) they are bouncing off the fucking walls with excitement
YESYESYESYESYES YOU’RE SO RIGHT!!!
I love Remus being tall but so lanky and skinny with literally no muscle on his body because he’s literally a nerd and hates exercising he will literally die if he has to do a push-up. Sirius is big and buff and tall (almost as tall as Remus is, fight me) and he has stubble and tattoos and HE IS THE ONE THAT GETS ANGRY and he plays quidditch and he fight and hates authority.
I saw a post with sapphic WolfStar (which is great, don’t get me wrong!) where *Remus* is the big buff butch and *Sirius* is the tiny little femme?? Like no Remus’ fragile little bones (thank you full moon and bad genes— I am a firm believer that he needed a cane by the time he graduated because of all that) would shatter if he tried to lift anything other than a stack of books and his chocolate because he’s so soft.
Sirius is canonically so smart too, but that’s always butchered, as well?? Like he was described as brilliant by literally everyone????? Bro was a straight O student and no one can convince me otherwise. Remus is always made to be the one helping Sirius so he doesn’t fail but, in cannon, it was *Sirius* that helped teach *Remus*, who is a halfblood and therefore didn’t know as much about magic, how to do things. Honestly I hate what everyone is doing to them.
Jegulus also makes no sense and, while it’s not a dealbreaker if it shows up (mostly because if it was I would have to drop a billion fics), I don’t like it and it’s WAY too prevalent.
i think maybe the reason the portrayal of remus in the marauders fandom in the last few years is so upsetting to me is that the reason i got into this fan base was because of how much i related to him. i started getting into the fandom when remus was still a skinny gay book nerd who was shy but funny and sweet and endlessly loyal. wolfstar was soft love and more about fluffy-teeth-rotting moments between remus and sirius.
now we have buff alpha bad boy remus who can’t read and tiny twink sirius with a full face (including lashes) and a mini skirt.
genuinely what happened to classic wolfstar? what happened to rowdy punk rock sirius with his band t shirts and leather jacket and stubble? where’s soft, lanky remus?
in attempting to wrestle wolfstar away from jkr you’ve stripped remus and sirius of all of their defining characteristics that made them so interesting in the first place. they’ve lost all characterization and relatability in exchange for this horny,booktok, smut-obsessed bullshit i can’t escape from.
so yeah, i’m not a fan of modern wolfstar.
(this isn’t even touching on all of the jegulus stuff)
Remus is a big hoodie and no trousers kind of guy, Sirius is a big trousers and no shirt kind of guy. I’m imagining Remus walking around in nothing but Sirius’ jumpers (which absolutely drown him, by the way) while Sirius watches him, blushing with a grin on his face he can’t quite wipe, because there’s marks on his thighs and neck from last night.
They/ItI leave a lot of extra content in tags lolWolfstar + JilyAo3: SaltedPapercutsFuck JKR!
