that's amazing thankyou so much for this addition

remus and barty are parallels. that is all. (that is not all i will now tell you why in detail)

remus? known to be the "smart marauder" despite the harold porter books directly stating that james and sirius were the smartest students in their year

barty? known as "chaotic" and "insane" and "unhinged" and many other affectionately meant terms that do not lend themselves naturally to intelligence- despite it being harold porter books canon that barty crouch jr. was incredibly smart and took all 12 OWLS supplied by hogwarts, (hermione only took 10, AND SHE HAD A TIME TRAVELING DEVICE!!)

no this is not all, by the way, remus? the last marauder left alive after the first war. barty? the last skittle left after the first war.

the difference here is remus was well adjusted enough to not lose it and seek revenge. (he shouldve, dumbledor deserves to get punched, but still), and barty locked moody in a trunk for an entire schoolyear for killing evan.

they could've been the same person. the situations were just unfair??

guys i dont care about hp canon lily's patronus was NOT a fucking doe it was a snowy owl, they fit her sososososo well and they symbolize knowledge / intelligence and protectiveness and fearlessness... so uh screw jkr and her "lily was a doe to match james's🥺🥺" NO!!!!!

on another note, hedwig is also a female snowy owl. so take that as you will

#marauders #lily evans #i actually have a full list of marauders patronus's #like i have lucius down #hes an albino peacock btw #so willing to post more abt this btw #patronus #marauders era #marauders girls #lily potter #james potter

guys i love the marauders btw and i love seeing all the different ships but

PRINCECHASER???? (james and severus)

i dont mind this ship actually my biggest issue with it is that people dont give sev his own characterization. like they just make him a dollar store regulus. and that. annoys me. i have my own sev headcanons and in said headcanons, princechaser works, just the "mainstream" version of the ship is ass

#princechaser #marauders #idk how to tag this #people who wanna see it will see it #idk man #james potter #severus snape #jegulus #marauders ships #ship discussion
