I'm Going To Reblog This Again Because No Matter How Much I Shit Talk About The Marauders Fandom I Will

Jegulus is literally what would've happened if they genderbent Lily. It's literally walmart jily with a dash of rascism. Go argue with the wall.

There is something that makes me feel nauseous about the new marauders era fans (but this is just generally a Harry Potter fan problem) is like, fascist apologia.

Because like, fiction is fiction. I'm not going to pretend it is real. I love evil characters. Characters don't have to be morally pure, or even morally good, to be compelling and interesting and worth writing about. Concurrently, the broad trend of babygirlifying men, fascist men in particular, concerns me.

Regulus is not baby girl. Barty Crouch Jr. is ABSOLUTELY not baby girl. You can write interesting and compelling stories about them as characters without making them into soft men who didn't really mean it uwu. They were bigots, canonically. They were fascists! You can talk about their upbringings and what drove them to fascism! You can say they were abused and hurt! That doesn't mean they weren't fascists who wanted to inflict pain on others. And I think it's a weird trend to ignore that or water it down or justify it.

And this is just petty, but I don't understand jegulus or rosekiller. I'll accept rosekiller because it's so meaningless to me that I'm only actually bothered by the babygirlification of the main characters, but I genuinely don't see any appeal to jegulus. Not really hating on it, just confused. Like, the things that I think make James Potter interesting and good are his loyalty to his friends and his anti-bigotry thing. Without those, he's an arrogant, popular prankster who is mean. I think jegulus kind of changes those interesting characteristics unless it's AU or OOC. It kind of seems to me people are looking for James to be gay and trying to find any man, and Snape and Peter are less sexy and liked. Which, I guess is fine. It just doesn't bring anything to me.

But also most of my Harry Potter headcanons would make people side eye me. Regardless, fight me.

So to sum it up, Regulus Black was indeed a Blood Supremacist but at the end, he realized his mistake and tried to make amends for it but somehow failed miserably. The purpose of fanon is to remind us that he did try to change. That he was ready to ditch his old beliefs for a new path. And the purpose of canon is to remind us constantly that he's a blood supremacist first who was groomed to worship pureblood ideals. Sirius realized it a long time ago but Regulus didn't. Not because he was just a coward, but also because he refused to believe that he was groomed. Both of them are true and it's quite sad.

Also, of course we care about canon. We've always had. Consciously or unconsciously.

"Villain and Violent, Infant and Innocent" is Regulus Black. He was juat a kid, a very impressionable kid who just wanted his parents to be proud of him, and at the end of the day, that's what we all want right?

Good gracious that man is so fine as hell

there’s no perfect fan cast for sirius black because he is too hot. too attractive too handsome. i’ve never seen a man be all those things.

Literally Lily, Narcissa, Andromeda, Sirius, Ron Weasley and many many characters.

"the over romanticization of death eaters has made the harry potter/marauders universe lose its charm," i say into the mic.

the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when multiple voices speak and command silence from the room.

"she's right," they say. i look for the owners of the voices. there in the 5th row stands: literally every character who is inherently good but overlooked by the fandom.

headcanon james potter has one sided and unspoken (except hissed in midnight conferences on either james or sirius’ bed under cover of muffliato) beef with remus after wolfstar gets together bc no one is good enough for his best friend… even his other best friend

“prongs he’s my boyfriend and frankly he is wonderful please respect our relationship”

“i JUST THINK that if he wants to date you he should be more aware of how incredibly lucky he is. you’re sirius bloody black does he KNOW that?? does he worship you enough?? never mind. i know the answer. he can’t worship you enough.”

“jamie, you were in full support of this union a week ago.”

“i just need him to be aware of how incredible you are. is he aware?”

because even though james loves remus- and he absolutely does! he would kill and die for him! -he did NOT anticipate how jealous he would be of anyone else taking sirius’ attention. or how much disdain he would inherently carry, try as he might, for anyone who didn’t understand sirius on that same molecular level. and remus doesn’t- sirius and remus love each other, are attracted to each other, match in a hundred ways. but they aren’t made from the same cloth the way james and sirius are. he’s protective of sirius- he’s been through a lot, and the mere prospect of someone being in a position where they could hurt him more is maddening. it feels like losing control- and james needs to keep his people safe. it was different with all the girls- sirius was playing them. he was never gone the way he’s gone with remus. he was still james’.

remus has no clue that any of this is happening until james asks sirius who he would save in a fire in a tone just too desperate to be joking.

peter, on the other hand, knows everything, as Lily’s been tutoring him in potions and hearing James’ jealous rants for weeks.

Marylene brainrot is getting to me very hard I fear.....

I've read say gex more straighter than whatever this shit is

Sirius & James

imao me asf

Me when some1 asks me abt my OCs but all of them are just alt vers of me if i was cooler or smarter or funnier or had more friends or didn't live in a 3rd world country and the onky plot points are just them being cool and funny and popular and pretty

I’m tired of people acting like Zhongli is a serious and chill guy who would never cause problems on purpose as if he isn’t one of the biggest menaces out of the Seven. He used to throw mountains at Venti for annoying him. He, the god of history, starts fights among historians for shits and giggles. He tried to gaslight the Traveler into thinking he was totally not at the Chasm guys really Aether/Lumine you must be seeing things maybe you should go see Baizhu. When Qiqi wanted “Cocogoat” milk he was like “Oh yeah sure totally let’s go look for it” knowing damn well it was a wild goose chase. He made the Traveler sing to a flower and then was like “Oh would you look at that” when a Whooperflower jumped out to maul them. I love him. He’s like a cat pushing things off the counter to see how people react. I would pay to see him interact directly with Neuvillette because I know for a fact he’d get on that man’s nerves and argue about water tasting just to feel something. Furina used freedom from godhood to take a nap and Zhongli used it to give psychic damage to anyone who talks to him longer than 5 minutes. Iconic.

I have to say this before going mad:

SIRIUS BLACK IS TALL! TALLER THAN ANY OF THE MARAUDERS AND THE ONLY MARAUDERS WHO WAS DESCRIBED TO BE TALL.

Harry says Sirius was tall, not Lupin. IF HE WAS SHORTER THAN REMUS, HE WOULD HAVE SAY HE WAS SHORTER.

Thank you.

Sorry for the aggressive tone.
