Okay nobody send me death threats. It's not that serious! Here are my Marauders Hot Takes:
• Jily and WolfStar are the best ships
• I love Jegulus but it doesn't make sense in canon, but almost nothing else does anyway so who cares
• The marauders would've bullied people in real life because they bullied people in canon- I do think they also would've grown up and apologized for it (except maybe Sirius)
• Snape is a flawed complex character but he bullied children and that will never be okay. He's also literally racist and misogynistic so..
• Harry is a better person than James. He wasn't perfect, but he didn't bully anyone (only had petty rivalries) and was angry when he found out how James treated Snape and that Sirius still thought it was funny. Harry also literally payed for Fred and George to start their business. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL HARRY IS JUST BETTER
• I will never read All The Young Dudes. I'm sorry. I just don't want to read it
• Rosekiller is a fun ship but you cannot make them good people. Barty literally killed his father in cold blood. Headcanons are fine, but it's just better and more likely that they chose their side of the war knowingly and willingly.
• Sirius is an asshole. He has so many good qualities, but he's an asshole. When he's watered down to just sad, or just fun it's never as good. He needs flaws. That goes for all the marauder
All this being said, write what you want. Read what you want. Enjoy what you like. It's just fiction and fandom and I really don't take it as seriously as this sounds
To everyone who loves Rosekiller, please watch Hannibal. Or read Hannibal fanfiction. I swear you will not be disappointed
oh we cheered
@yelishere asked for more Rosekiller fanart and I delivered 🫡
Don’t mind Barty, he’s in paradise
Hope you like it 💕
Halloween party 1975, fourth year:
Barty: *dressed as a dementor for Halloween*
Evan: *spills a drink*
Barty: for your crime of spilling that drink it sentence you with the dementors kiss *tries to kiss Evan*
Evan: *leans out of the way* why it wasn’t even your drink
Barty: doesn’t make it not illegal
Evan: spilling a drink isn’t illegal Barty
Barty then proceeds to spend the rest of the night trying to kiss Even and at the end of the night when it was just them Evan jumped of a hiding place and surprise attacked Barty with a kiss
Then Barty has a crisis because he was joking about kissing Evan all night but he really enjoyed that and wants to do it again
And Evan has a crisis because he thought Barty wanted to kiss him because he kept trying all night but when he did it Barty looked really confused and slightly weird out and he’s scared he ruined there friendship
barty would wear a “fuck your gender roles” crop top
i need someone to write rosekiller babysitting asap
I wanna see what would happen if a child was left with barty and evan
except i think it’s the other way around lowkey
I imagine they’re like morticia and Gomez from the Addams family.
I dont think rosekiller is toxic
I acc think their relationship would be quite stable they're just mentally fucking insane
I’d also like to mentions the Pinterest pins I keep seeing that say “Marauders fan when you express your opinions” or “The Marauder fandom when you have a hc that doesn’t match theirs”
And then their headcanons are all the same: everyone is straight. Their OTP is Jily, and I’m NOT dogging on Jily, it’s an adorable ship, but they make it like every other straight ship in existence. Simultaneously, these are the same ppl replying to comments on their pins that say “why? /gen” and the reply is always a variation of “honestly I hate wolfstar like it’s such a dumb ship”
Isn’t that… hypocritical?? Are you not hating on opinions and headcanons yourself? Obviously, this is a generalization, and there are some ppl that have respectful opinions that are overshadowed by the ppl like this who have either non-sensical reason or none at all.
This will probably be controversial, but I feel like it needs to be talked about. (Marauders fandom edition part 1?)
Before I say anything else, I want to preface this by saying that everyone can have their ideas and headcanons about characters, you do you. So what I think we need to talk about is things like this:
“Omg no, the Marauders are definetly all straight, wydm??” “In canon they’re all cishet, can we keep that?” “Why is every single character some form of gay?”
In canon, little is known about them, but that’s not my point. This fandom is made up by 90% queer people that are making representation for themselves in media, because in said media, most of the “representation” is just one stereotypical queer person so the production team can claim they’re not homophobic. So when you take representation made by queer people for queer people and start packing it back into the same cishet boxes in was in before, you’re taking something that wasn’t made for you, and altering it to fit in a way you like. This sub-fandom wasn’t made by queer people so that straight people could take it and rewire it to fit them. Some *specific* instances of this are asexual Evan Rosier, trans Regulus Black, pansexual James Potter, and aroace Peter Pettigrew. While I’m not sure if this was representation some in this fandom made for themselves or others, it’s still important. What I’m really trying to say (it’s 12:36 at night, please) is that this fandom wasn’t made for straight people.
Marlene McKinnon isn’t headcanoned to be a lesbian so a weird uncle named Fred could fetishize her, she’s headcanoned to be a lesbian so that a 14 year old girl could see a character like her and feel seen. Sirius Black is not headcanoned to be gay/bi so a lonely wine mom could sexualize him. He’s headcanoned to be gay/bi so that a teenaged boy doesn’t feel so weird anymore.
Again, it’s okay to headcanon whoever to want to be this that or the other, that’s not what I’m addressing. It’s making everyone the same carbon copies of straight, white, and cis.
I’m done yapping now, go drink some water.

I need someone to draw Barty and Evan as Joker and Harley Quinn. Please tell me you see the vision.
My favourite fanfic trope is when the MC is inexplicably overpowered. Especially when they are super nonchalant about it.
Now that I think about it, thats probably why I love Whatever happened to the young, young lovers? by georgia_sk so much.
And Saiki K and One Punch Man. Those aren't fanfics but my point still stands.
I’ve always been a regulus kinnie, but recently I’ve felt like Evan and Barty’s weird kid if that kid had reg and James as uncles…
Barty Crouch Jr. has a grown out buzz cut, eyeliner, and a rose tattoo on his neck.
I don’t make the rules.
My favourite part of being in the Marauders fandoms is how not chill all of us are. Like I have never meet a ‘casual’ Marauders fan, it’s always some crazy mental shit. I need that kind of dedication in every fandom I’m in
no bc this diva would resort himself
ravenclaw barty who gave up on trying to please his father and slowly started surrounding himself with slytherins. he was just so bored with his fellow ravenclaws and felt like he belonged elsewhere.
it got to the point where the slytherins all made the joint decision of giving him their spare uniforms so he could be apart of the silver and green house instead. he even has a bed in the slytherin boys dorm shared with evan and regulus. by the end of 5th year, nobody could even fathom the idea that barty crouch junior could ever belong to a hogwarts house that wasnt slytherin.
Tonight i had a dream that some bitch burned my boyfriend with a cigarette but i couldnt beat her ass because she was way to strong and her whole family wanted to beat MY ass, so i went to BARTY and JAMES for help, the very first thing Barty asked me when i said i needed help was "who are we killing?" and honestly it was the best dream ive ever had
Okay but can ppl agree with me that this mf from descendants is a Barty variant?
I love the Lucy one but with the add on the Pandora is the only one aloud to call him that.
I also love Jamie for James and Bee for barty
What are some of your nicknames for the marauders era?? I know the obvious ones like Reggie or Moony or any of the marauders specific little names. What’s a unique one that you really like though?
Mine is Regulus being called Lucy because his name ends in lus, so Lucy makes just as much sense as Reggie does
I think Rosier not fitting Barty is just that much better because you know he is still so very proud of having the name
okay Barty and Evan don’t seem like the type of couple to get married they just seem more like the date forever type
but if they did get married or even if they didn’t i can totally see Barty taking Evans last name both because he hates his dad and wants nothing to do with him and also to spite him
however Barty Rosier sounds strange and so does Bartemius Rosier and now im sad-
Regulus wears dock's, Evan wears vans and Barty wears converse. Dorcas told me herself
Mistigris by Calypte on Ao3 acc has some sort of hold on me. This fic is amazing. Regulus? Amazing. Evan? Amazing. Barty? Amazing. James? Amazing. EVERYONE acc has like traits and a personality its amazing.
AND BLACK BROTHER BONDING. Omg i could go on for YEARS why i love them in this fic, the dynamic they have. Its not emotionless but its not all cutsy either. It's AMAZING. I love this fic and everyone should read it :)
Link:
Evan, Barty and Reg gaslighting Slughorn into believing that there isn't a snake in their dorm is honestly just 🤌
barty and evan both agreed that if they have the oppurtunity to have a threesome with regulus they absolutely will
evan: i'm cold
barty: here babe, take my jacket
vs
barty: i'm cold
evan: well damn crouch i can't control the weather
the 'all in all you're just another brick in the wall' marauders
