fanart for marauders secret santa!! happy holidays @lesbian-disaster-tm πβ€οΈ thank you so much for hosting @arcturism π€ΈββοΈ
gonna be honest, dorlily is such a new concept to me bc i've always been a dorlene shipper. that said, i loveddd exploring their dynamic and the sunshine x sunshine protector vibes they give off. i apparently spent 33+ hours on this piece (the angle was hell to work with after not drawing anything for months) but i couldn't let go of the concept β it was too full of desire and softness MY LOVERGIRL ASS HAD TO DELIVER!!! i really hope you like it @lesbian-disaster-tm β€οΈ
hohoho,
your marauders secret santa
helaena and alys talking throught their spiritual connection, helaena telling alys all about her favorite insects, alys telling her the haunting stories of harrenhal, and then they kiss in the astral plane and live happily ever after
i love snily as a ship but nothing can beat the power and tragedy of their friendship. come on, the angst of childhood best friends that were the comfort of each other slowly taking different sides, slowly losing the skill to understand one another ??
lily was the only witch in her family, she had no idea what was going on, she realized her parents didnβt have all the answers in the world, her sister was starting to hate her for something she had no control over it. but then she met severus, someone like her, someone that told her about a whole world that she belongs to, a friend with whom she could be herself.
severus came from a abusive home, his own father hated what he was, his mother didnt didnt knew how to properly raise him, he had no friends and no one of his age he could relate to. but then he met lily, a girl the same age as him, a witch like him, someone that was kind and extroverted, someone that brought light to his life.
they loved each other so badly, and yet it wasnt enough to keep them together. they ended up hurting one another (one more than the other), they were in different sides of war, and severus has to live forever with guilty and regret about what happened, his worst memory being the day he really lost her.
yes i think severus had a crush on her when they were kids (and in my hcs, lily had a crush on him at some point too), but a crush fades over time. their tragedy is not about romance, its about losing your best friend, the most important person in your world, the first person you felt comfortable with and could be yourself.
i need to improve my view of her but here are some headcanons of my girl
went to hogwarts in 1972 (one year younger than the marauders)
hufflepuff with second house in gryffindor
social butterfly who can make everyone like her, has at least two friends in every house. the ultimate golden retriever energy
extremely persistent, once she sets her mind to something nothing can stop her
hates starting something and not finishing it, for amelia, all work has to be well done and complete
one day she chose red and pink as her favorite colors and decided to make her personality. as a teenager she used to dye her hair with several pink streaks and it became her personal brand
her love language is a mix of affection and bullying, she loves to piss off the people she cares about but she also makes sure to always show her real feelings
she collects everything that has a heart shape
plays the drums
learned a little about muggle culture because she loves their music
loves planning trips with friends and gets sad when they forget in the next day because she was the only one being serious about the idea
loves to spoil susan and take her on trips since the girl really takes her ideas seriously
somebody yap to me about amelia bones !!
dawn and yuri avoiding mr martin for years but still keeping a nice relationship with janet oh my babies
i absolutely love the idea of walburga and druella being best friends that went to hogwarts in the same year
druella is the popular and beautiful girl that everyone loves, shes charismatic, fun and extremely sociable
walburga is conventionally pretty but people are so intimidated by her that they forget that, shes serious, never seems to smile and doesn't have the patience to (and doesn't even know how) make friends
and yet they work so well
they are super protective of each other, walburga always keeps an eye on anyone who might hurt druella while druella doesn't allow anyone to say bad things about walburga.
druella has thousands of people wanting her attention and yet walburga is always her priority
walburga always says that she hates jokes and "superficial" things but she could spend hours listening to druella talk about the most diverse and meaningless subjects. and druella is the only one that is able to make walburga laugh (which is still a hard task)
theyre also kinda sapphic but they will never realized that
they have to stay apart when the rosiers make druella marry a man from the nott family, far from each other after years of being stuck together at hogwarts. but then this random man dies, and the next husband that druella's family finds is walburgas younger brother that has only 18, while walburga just got married to her own counsin. and theyre glued together again, living in the same mansion, being in the same family and its kinda weird but theyre happy to be close
i am SO desperate for evans sisters angst. give me lily never understanding why she felt different from her sister until she got her letter. give me petunia and all of her jealousy manifesting into hatred and contempt. give me lily trying so hard to reach out to petunia but she has no idea how to fix it, because she can't change who she is. give me petunia wracked with grief because she never got to fix things with her sister. give me lily laying in bed at night begging to understand why she got to be a witch and her sister didn't. give me petunia looking into harry's eyes and seeing her dead sister look back. GIVE ME EVANS SISTERS ANGST
Lily & Petunia Evans π
