i seriously dislike marauders fans who hate peter because of canon AS IF WE DONT IGNORE CANON FOR EVERY. OTHER. CHARACTER.
if you can excuse barty, regulus, evan, bellatrix, and narcissa … why do you draw the line at peter??
idc if this take makes me a hater
i absolutely adore peter pettigrew, he is my favorite marauder, i think he’s absolutely brilliant, and NO ONE can ever take that away from me
nothing makes me dislike a marauders fan quicker than excluding AND/OR HATINF PWTER
i love prongstail so much. i think gilderat is a fun ship, its cute and funny, but i think SO SO SO many people are missing out on the heartbreaking angst that is prongstail.
james and peter being friends since they were kids and being absolutely inseparable. them knowing everything about one another. james always saving the marmalade pastries for peter when effie bakes. peter learning everything he can about quidditch so they can talk about it together. them basically living together in the summers. them sharing beds, and tents in the back garden, and clothes.
when the go to hogwarts and james meets sirius, peter starts feeling left out or like he doesnt matter as much. but james never even noticed how insignificant peter felt because he could never think of his best friend like that. them sneaking into each others bed at night to talk about their days. them always knowing when the other is upset. peter always feeling like theres something wrong with him and james assuring him that hes perfect. peter watching every single quidditch practice and game that james is in.
both of them loving the other so much but thinking it isnt reciprocated. peters jealously of james and lily driving a wedge between them. them not even getting a chance like remus and sirius, and instead channeling their love for one another into longing stares, and yearning, and imaginary confessions. neither of them even making a move. them never knowing that the other liked them back. them thinking that it was always unrequited.
james noticing peter drift away after hogwarts. peter slowly visting less, and writing less, and attending less meetings for the order. james always wishing he couldve done something to change how they ended up. them both missing each out so much it physically hurts. and the absolute heartbreak they BOTH feel after the betrayal.
peter hate is truly so forced 😒 i’m ALL FOR peter angst with the betrayal but peter hate js pmo
the same ppl hating peter are regulus fans, barty fans, evan fans, bellatrix fans etc.
if you can excuse or defend the actions of any of the Slytherins, why not peter?
(bc ppl have internalized fatphobia but i’m
not going to get into that one)
i unironically rlly like peter/dorcas as a ship
peter pettigrew is my tennis playing brat who wears jackets around his neck and started drinking coffee at seven years old and has absolutely NO filter it doesn’t matter who he’s speaking to
“I never meant to start a war.” (I like Peter Pettigrew)
