Announcing The First Ever Draw Prongsfoot Badly Challenge!

the fact that lily and james BOTH chose sirius to be the godfather to their only son, knowing that they were in a war, hunted by voldemort, and would likely die.

like the bond is already there between all three of them. prongsfoot is basically half canon, jily is canon, and lilypad exchange letters + have a deep amount of trust for the other

jily and prongsfoot are the only agreed upon soulmates in the marauders canon (whether ypu believe it romantic or platonic)

it would be such a natural, believable evolutiom for jilypad to exist

but no, we ship jily with their best man/best friend/godfathers blood supremacist brother whom they never canonically interacted with

we ship the muggle born and blood traitor with the death eater

over the blood traitor black who they both loved

why ship jegulily when jilypad is right there

they make me sick (i love them)

my friend wrote a paper on tlt concerning gender, queerness, and ecofeminism and it broke my brain

tldr he outlined how the present necro/cav dynamic (eg. how cav is subservient to their necro and romantic relationships between the two parties is taboo) is a result of johns implicit misogyny he projected onto earth/alecto; how in this sans-misogyny world queerness/homophobia still exists in necro/cav ships

so ive been reanalyzing all the tlt relationships from the lense of necroxnecro cavxcav = hetero and necroxcav = queer and OH MY GOD

griddlehark = queer

lobotomized harrow was replacing her queer relationship (cav!gideon) with a coworker hetero one (cav!ortus)

giddianthe = hetero

kirianthe = queer

tridentaricest = queer, but as corona was “necro-passing” it could be BUTCHFEMME REALNESS

idk how to classify paul…

Canon sirius wins the idgf game every time omg. Bro does not care. His best friend is in love with someone? "U re not getting the girl with ur personality, James." Peter admiring James. "Peter, u will wet yourself." His other best friend is a werewolf who suffers every full moon. "Damn, I wish it was a full moon." A student starts to ask questions about their secret. "I'm just killing him, whatever."

I just know he made everyone he knows at least cry once, and it wasn’t even on purpose. He's just made like that, and he doesn't even care if u don't tolerate him.

The denial is so true! Jily were indeed the biggest influencers. They absolutely haunt the story! Had they not defied voldemort, harry wouldn't even be the prophecy child. Jily's love was the biggest, and I mean the absolutely biggest reason for harry being alive and protected. Many twists and turns in the story had been because of them.

The blood protection, Harry's patronus, the invisibility cloak, their appearances throughout the series, active influence by being order of the phoenix members, appearing as ghosts during the graveyard fight and through the resurrection stone. There's so much more!

This is not meant to say that harry thought about his parents before deciding each and every action because harry is his own person. He's an orphan and he came to terms with that right from the beginning but Jily haunt the story in a broader frame.

It's undeniable that jily are a huge driving force of the entire series.

Sirius would be one of those evil men who end arguments by saying "let's agree to disagree" or "it is what it is" when he's objectively wrong

the "I'm not a drinker myself" to gradually becoming an alcoholic to numb out the pain pipeline

the "I don't want them to change me. turn me into something I'm not" to being turned into a mutt version of himself pipeline

the "I do everything in my power to protect my sister" to losing her anyway pipeline

this cannibal who wishes she was was gods daughter is desperately trying to sleep with you

god wishes you were his daughter. but you’re in a toxic yuri situationship with god’s actual daughter. and you have the hots for this bitch he considers his ex who never truly reciprocated his feelings. and that bitch was secretly in love with your great great great (x100) grandma. who was besties with god.

polyamory would not always fix the love triangle. sometimes it would make it much, much worse. but they should do it anyway

plus sized lily, HUGE nosed James, and butt ugly wet rat remus plssss

BRO LET THE MARAUDERS CHARACTERS BE UGLY

I'm so serious about this plsss they cannot all possibly be conventionally attractive

Genuinely though most fanart of the marauders characters is like INSANELY different from what they look like in canon,, which in a lot of cases is fine like I think making the marauders cast more diverse is a lot more fun and less boring and uh yes I'm a fan but this means more than making them different races/ethnicities this means making them different body types and different facial features

Because even though we pride ourselves on making the fandom super diverse and shit we still make all the characters adhere to like eurocentric beauty standards, and the only characters that don't look like fucking super models are characters the fandom generally dislikes.

a lot of times fanart is the same exact button nose, more like white facial features and the only difference is that some characters are darker than others and MAYBE they'll have different hair textures.

Just because a character isn't attractive to you doesn't mean they're suddenly a bad character or objectively unattractive.

plssss can we start diversifying the marauders cast (also I'm not gonna like beat people up if they keep drawing all the characters the same like you choose how you engage in fandom I'm just personally tired of this)
