Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
if jily + other marauders era characters weren't in the houses they are in:
james would be a cute little hufflepuff because hes loyal af, kind (to people who deserve it) and also he is an excellent cook (my hc)
lily evans is a ravenclaw, and there is no argument for her being slytherin. a) she would probably be murdered or tortured for being muggleborn, b) she THIRSTS for knowledge (and james potter) and is extremely creative and witty and self-aware. plus shes (in most fanfics i read) excellent at charms which is flitwicks class.
anyways if they werent the ultimate gryffindor head boy/girl couple, they would be the huffleclaw head boy/girl couple that everyone adored.
sirius: he is a gryffindor fight me on this
remus: ravenclaw
peter: hufflepuff EXCEPT towards the end hes a slytherin
marlene: slytherin
dorcas: she was ORIGINALLY a gryffindor but if not then she would be a ravenclaw
mary: hufflepuff
regulus: ravenclaw
evan: hufflepuff
barty: gryffindor
narcissa: hufflepuff
andromeda: gryffindor
bellatrix: ravenclaw
if the marauders were asian but specifically east and south east asian
the blacks: theyre so chinese coded idk but maybe korean
remus: malaysian. he handles spice like a fucking pro
lily: she is japanese and she is a kawaii type girl and shes fucking adorabld
marlene: white washed chinese or japanese
james: china but specifically guang zhou or hong kong cause he just gives cantonese vibes also hes very very very whitewashed
peter: singapore kiddo and therefore can speak like 5 languages/dialects
pandora: shes just korean skincare girly
evan: also korean but more nerd aesthetic yk
barty: wasian if he really has to be
dorcas: shes not asian in any universe imaginable ever
rita skeeter: same with her tbh
mary: whitewashed (but can still speak the language) i havent decided for her but i think vietnam kinda suits her
emmeline: shes already asian/wasian idc what anyone says
alice: shes white but shes very accepting of asian culture and is obsessed with kpop
frank: korean or (for some reason) thai
pls no one come for me on this but i feel like james is just so white boy coded. like he exudes british white boy energy. he just. i respect all those who hc him as poc but hes like (in my brain) the definition of a white boy. like in my head him and lily are the most annoyingly cute white straight couple that everyone still loves. anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk.
yall i miss jilyđđđ not like its gone but like the marauders used to be so happy sunshine gryffindor vibes. but also i feel like we collectively all forget how much james potter HATED slytherin. idk i also think that yes death eaters were humans BUT they also killed so many people like are we forgetting that barty crouch jr literally tortured alice and frank longbottom he is at fault for neville growing up without his parentsđ i genuinely think that people forget that evan, barty etc. actually killed people and killed people who were probably friends with the marauders. ik that everyone deserves a second chance but seriously???? do you actually think that the rosiers were good people and didn't hate and discriminate against muggleborns??? NOT EVERYONE HAS A TRAGIC BACKSTORY IDK SOME OF THEM ARE JUST EVIL. the way everyone defends evan rosier (love his character but i have beef with the way he gets away with being a death eater later on) but snape, who i absolutely detest, hate and think should have died earlier, who also actually did something that was not evil in his lifetime, is the most hated marauders character like????? and the black sisters???? yes love a complex female character but are we seriously trying to redeem bellatrix? do we not remember WHAT SHE SCARED ON HERMIONE LIKE WHAT. and love the newer marauders fandom but everyones so emo and depressed this is supposed to be FUN. also the characters feel so ooc. everytime i see casanova remus lupin im like 'huh thats supposed to be sirius and james???' love remus but my boy aint rizzing anyone up hes a shy af introvert. and jegulus is so cute but remember that james is #no.1slytherinhater and he was absolutely smitten with lily evans FROM THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. REMEMBER WHEN JILY WAS THE BACKBONE OF THE MARAUDERS? like they ate fr. this became a whole ass paragraph damn i did not know i had so much to say about this. i can lowkey already sniff the comments or thoughts saying 'oh let us have our fun its just a story' im not stopping you this is just my opinion. 'oh none of this is actually proven' please give me a breakđđ like most of the source material goes against the fandoms perception of the marauders. 'fuck jkr we'll do what we want' youve basically just made 10 million ocs and give them names of characters like im eating up all the marauders content but genuinely can we go back to the happier times??
Mary and Lily kissed for the first time for "practice" before Lily went on a first date with a Ravenclaw boy. At that point Mary had been in numerous situationships with guys - the joke of her friend group was that she was to her core a fuckboy. But Mary couldn't explain that something always felt off, that she never got the sparks when those boys kissed her and touched her. And then she kissed Lily. And it was like her black and white world finally got color. The only thing running through her mind was "oh, this is it, this is what it's supposed to feel like". Mary at Lily right after the kiss with the most undeniable yearning in her eyes and Lily, sweet, clueless Lily, looked at Mary with the biggest smile in her face and thanked her for being such a good friend and preparing her for her date.
Remus,Lily,Dorcas,Regulus, and Pandora have a little book club, and they just meet up and get all pretentious about different books it's honestly amazing. At some point however it did evolve into just monthly gossip and roasting sessions where everyone was telling their relationship drama and getting feedback "For the last time Lupun I don't wanna hear about you and my brother fucking". "Dorcas, I think you should stay prioritising yourself and expressing your desires to Marlene."No, Pandora, I understand where you're coming from, but I think you should break up with him already." Said partners have tried multiple times to overhear on these conversations, and they always end up getting found out and hexed
Plus size Lily Evans. Always dressed up in dresses,skirts, and florals, Lily Evans. Sunburned and freckled Lily Evans. Sapphic Lily Evans. Always wanted to be close with her sister and has been looking for a sibling figure all her life, Lily Evans. Constantly craving academic validation, Lily Evans. Bug lover Lily Evans. Owner of three cats, Lily Evans. Prettiest handwriting and most organised notebooks in her grade, Lily Evans. LOVE OF MY LIFE LILY EVANS
Regulus knew James would fight for him no matter what. That he would put himself in harm's way for Regulus, Death Eaters, and Dark Lord be damned. The only way he could think of to protect James was to absolutely make him hate him. Regulus put the performance of a lifetime, insulting Jame's best friends, saying horrible things about muggleborns and halfbloods and being a true imitation of his mother. James could only just whisper "please don't do this," but when Regulus cruelly insulted Remu's lycanthropy, he just couldn't do it anymore. James found comfort in Lily's arms, knowing that she too was heartbroken by Mary. Regulus had to watch the man he loved being in a relationship with the girl he told him not to worry about thinking that if James moved on so quickly, their relationship probably didn't mean anything to him. James had to go through the rest of his life thinking that Regulus hated him and trying very hard to hate him back but absolutely failing, because when he closed his eyes at night all he could think about was dark black curls and stars
Raging bisexuals Lily and James who get so deeply offended when someone assumes they're straight just because they're a couple. These bitches are the first at the Pride Parade wearing these silly ass " bi wife" and "bi husband" t-shirts. Lily also did Jame's makeup inspired by the bisexual flag color platte and they both looked so amazing, they got hit on SO MUCH "Soo are you looking for a third?" "Oh thank you but -'" "NO WE ARE NOT, Lily let's go"
The thing is, I'm a multishipper like i truly can work and appreciate most ship dynamics. Love Jegulus, love Jily, love Bartylus, love Rosekiller, love Pandalily, love Dorlene, love Marilily. BUT WHO YOU GONNA SHIP SIRIUS WITH BESIDES REMUS?? Like I genuinely cannot imagine this man with ANYONE ELSE
Pandora is a huuuge greek mythology geek. And by huge, I mean she literally has an atlas tattoo and is actively learning Greek. The first time Lily tried flirting with her she hit Pandora with the "you're as pretty as Aphrodite" because she knew of her huge love for the Greek gods (and how could she not she has the biggest crush on this woman). What she didn't know is the implications of that compliment in the Greek mythology lore, so she just watched Pandora's face turn into an expression of utter horror. Pandora realised that Lily was indeed only trying to flirt with her and not indirectly ruin her life the next day after a chat with Dorcas so she went to find Lily like "heeey funny thing" (Mary was staring daggers at her because Lily ran to her crying)
Remus let Lily paint his nails once during the 5th year, and since then, he got absolutely obsessed with how they looked, so now he always has them painted. He tries different colours and designs, but he always ends up going back to the same old black nails and ring combo (Sirius finds it super attractive)
The reason why Lily,Remus, and Regulus never got to be a trio in cannon is because if they were, they would have stopped Voldy so quickly. These bitches would be such a power trio they would be absolutely unstoppable
Shister Shnap. đ
harry, you have your motherâs sass.
I read one barty x lily fanfiction once out of pure boredom and it awoke something in me
some of my old pictures are from 2020, but I think they deserve to see the world!!
I am mixing to of fav fandoms cause I can.
Sirius, James, and Charles who talk about starting a band all the time but never do it.
Regulus, Remus, Lily, and Edwin sit and read or talk about there partners.
Crystal and Marlene would be amazing together. The levels of sass through the roof.
Barty and Evan would be try to talk to the cat king so much thinking he is so cool. Might smoke together honestly.
Pandora, Niko, and Monty would be a trio I would like to see. Just the vibes there.
Peter and Monty are two that have sort of this opposite going parallel (I say like I know what that means) and I think that would be interesting. Also know I am think of astrology loving Peter and that slays.
Ester and Bellatrix would be in a competition. Not sure for what but they would.
One of my favorite stories I have for the mauraders era is where they are at a Ravenclaw party and it is insane.
Peter and Edgar are just making out in a bathroom the whole time, while Pandora, Evan and Xenophilius went up to smoke in one of the dorm rooms and hear a noise and find the two making out. So Pandora leaves but Xeno and Evan just go to another dorm, get high, and kiss. When Pandora walks down stairs Mary is at the bottom of them so those two of them for no reason, like they don't even know why they kissed, leading to Emmeline getting jealous and going up to Lily and asking her to kiss and Lily and she's like yeah sure so they kiss.
We also have James and Regulus not so secretly flirting with each other. Remus being mad at Sirius for some reason so he flirts with Barty for a bit but it doesn't matter cause Sirius is on the other side of the room doing shots with Marlene and Dorcas.
This is why Ravenclaw parties where all the all the houses are there are rare cause it gets to chaotic.
Life Lines âď¸
Based on a headcannon I saw a while ago on tt, which was based on a post made on tumblr but i havenât been able to find the original post, so if anyone knows, pls lmk!
i like the idea of remus being friends with everyone and not knowing?? and heâs friends with more people than any of the other marauders bc james and sirius are really cliquey and peter just follows them around.
so heâs friends with most of the gryffindors- especially the older years because he sells drugs to them đŽââď¸ remus lupin in the head of the hogwarts black market
like hes obviously besties with regulus (donât tell sirius) so heâs friends with pandora by proxy. theyâre a cute friend group who talk shit together.
and then heâs âone of the girlsâ and is constantly hanging around lily, mary, marlene and dorcas. they have a book club and talk shit about the marauders and their teachers
donât forget the ravenclaws! mf spends most of the time in the library. there r bound to be some ravenclaws who frequent the library and got curious abt the nerd with all the scars. so bc of all these new ravenclaw friends, he absentmindedly founds a whole ass study group.
then all the younger years from all the houses join said group. alongside the older years from other houses that sit in so that when the younger years leave they can buy cigarettes off of him.
and donât forget the teachers! do u really think he doesnât have afternoon tea with madam pomfrey, even when itâs not a full moon?
i can imagine remus spending his day pissing about with the marauders in the morning, going to his study club after school, meeting up with the girls in the common room, heading out to have a chat with pomfrey, and then going back to the dorms to listen to music with the marauders while he conspires a plan on how to sneak out to the astronomy tower to meet up with regulus and pandora later.
bros a quadruple-timing friend whore
james potter
âsay yesâ by elliott smith
i feel like james doesnât really listen to music that much, more so just pick out a few songs that sirius and remus like and just go with it. remus loves elliott smith (despite his more âgrungeâ music taste) so he would play a lot of his songs when heâs alone or just chilling out.
james would hear this song and be like âUMMM THIS IS SO ME COREâ and heâd listen to it on repeat for WEEKS.
remus lupin
âmy iron lungâ by radiohead
this mother fucker is a radiohead stan. remus is the radiohead bf sirius is his blur gf.
he loves a little guitar riff and then absolutely nonsensical breakdowns in the middle of the chorus đ
also i feel like he just relates to the teen angst vibe of it. he listens to it when heâs upset that heâs a queer werewolf from care home. so HIS âiron lungâ in that sense would be he queerness and his upbringing, or maybe even sirius at some points.
sirius black
âbeetlebumâ by blur
one thing abt sirius is that he only listens to brit-rock or 2000âs pop punk bangers with explicit sexual innuendos. they just hit!
heâs an early p!atd stan btw. soz.
and a deftones boy. cringe!
but he really likes blur!! he listens to it for hours at a time. he just LOVES the chorus soooo much. itâs a bit basic but he likes it.
lily evans
âvelvet ringâ by big thief
i feel like lily is a folk fan above all other genres of music. obviously she loves fleetwood mac, taylor swift, etc⌠but her loyalties lie with the cluttered, wordy and intimate lyricism of artists like big thief, clario and sidney gish.
lily listens to this specific song whenever she feel nostalgic or when sheâs got growing pains. it kinda grounds her. sheâs the type of person who gets so fixated on the past or what her futures gonna look like, so she channels those feelings into reflection instead. she finds a lot big thiefâs songs do just that :)
marlene mckinnon
âdebrisâ by lowertown
marlene loves indie girl music!! she loves messy vocals and melancholic chord progressions, so she lovesss lowertown.
this song is basically the verbalisation of how she feels other people would treat her if she finally opened up. she feels deeply attacked by the lyrics lol xx
mary mcdonald
âthis is what makes us girlsâ by lana del rey
this mf loves lana del rey more than anything. she is a dark feminine born to die giant falsies dark pink french tips and ices mocha latte typa girlie.
this song just makes her feel so powerful and so connected to her friends!! she thinks itâs just so her. she also feels like her attractiveness is one of her best qualities (which isnât true sheâs literally the funniest and kindest girl at hogwarts) and one of her only strengths and she HATES FEELING THAT WAY⌠so when she listens to lana sheâs like âmmm sheâs so mother! she gets me!!!â
she knows sheâs a pretty girl with a group of pretty girl friends and she loves it!!!!
regulus black
âyouâre on your own kidâ by taylor swift
ok regulus is not a tswizzle fan by any means.
but pandora likes her and forced him to listen to a few of her favourite songs. when this song came on he was like â⌠ok wtf đ§ sheâs so meâ
all of the lyrics just ATE in his mind. he relates to every lyric PAINFULLY SO.
pandora
âwhateverâ by elliott smith
pandora listens to literally every type of music ever.
she likes phoebe bridgers and found out about elliott smith though her, and heard this song and was like âelliott smith wrote this song about reggie and i xxâ
theyâre best friends! they are literally the bestest of friends. such a pure friendship.
all of them :)
âspringâ by angel olsen
bro youâve gotta listen to this song. itâs like evil crack.
marauders band au marauder band au marauders band au
i am so good at backgrounds đĽšđŤś /j
ok um marauders band au but itâs the 90âs and they all go to a creative arts boarding school and are in the schools music program
the marauders start a band after james falls in love with lily, the singer of her own band with mary and marlene :)
the marauders r kinda like âumm cringe af.â at first but they get really into it very quickly
the girls take notice and lilys kinda weirded out bc itâs obviously a tactic to get close to her
but after realising how dedicated james and the other r she lets her guard down and rehearsed with them from time to time.
