understood!!! i think originally regulus was honestly one of my favourite characters until people started to portray him as too misunderstood :(( he had an amazing balance between black and white and i think that some fans ruined it for me. tbh i hate bellatrix but i love her character and her insanity is so interesting to me. with draco, my feelings generally depend on the fic. i dont rlly have an opinion on him tbh but there are some really cute drarry oneshots that i have bookmarked. and cissy is genuinely one of my fav charateds ever narcissa black they could never make me hate you. narcissa malfoy however is a different story tbh but thats a whole other story
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.
me: i have two right legs
them: ???? u mean two left feet
me: no my left leg really feels like it was born to be a right leg

Lily Evans had never had a large party on her birthday before. She had always had just a couple friends over at her house, or once she started hogwarts, in her dorm. The first few years at school were short little celebrations with her different friends, since they couldn't get along together. But this year was just one party, a big one, organised by Mary and James, well known for their ability to plan a great party with large crowds and manage to keep those crowds happy.
She donned her best outfit, got Emmeline to do her makeup, Marlene to do her nails, and Mary with the hardest job of blocking Remus Lupin from the record player in the common room.
And as people began to gather, Lily went downstairs to join them. Sirius and Peter had snuck to Hogsmeade to get some booze, under the conditions they made sure it was only people over 16 drinking it. Now they stood like guards, arms folding with sunglasses over their eyes and makeshift badges as they teared down at a poor ravenclaw from 4th year that tried to grab a bottle.
Lily made her way over grabbing a drink before moving to the record player in the corner.
Mary was stood, glaring up at Remus, "You aren't fucking touching this! I will stand here the entire night if I have to. We refuse to lieten to a single Zeppelin song!"
"Remus!" Lily shouted, "Get away from the music! We made a deal, my choice on my birthday!"
Remus groaned, "Mary's just been playing constant abba though!"
Lily grinned, "My birthday, my choice."
Remus glared at her before starting to smirk and he quickly grabbed her drink before speeding away.
"You fucker!" She yelled after him.
"Happy birthday, Lils!"
Mary grabbed her into a tight hug, "What that twat said."
She hugged her back, "Ugh I love you, thank you for this."
"Why are you sweet? Hey, you should go get another drink before it's all gone. I'll protect the music for you."
Lily hugged her again before going back to the drink table to find it bare.
"We're gonna go get some more but James has disappeared and he's got the cloak and map." Peter said, seemingly appearing behind her out of nowhere.
"He's a terrible boyfriend", Sirius sighed, shaking their head.
Lily rolled her eyes, as Marlene bounded over.
"He's just gone to grab the slytherins, prat."
Sirius clasped their hand to their heart, "blondes are so mean... oh sorry, I mean gingers."
Lily's eyes widened and she stared at Marlene in shock, "What? Marlene, what?"
Marlene stuck a finger up at Sirius before disappearing into the crowd.
"Marlene! You're ginger too?!"
"What's all the yelling about?" James said, map and cloak in one hand just before Peter grabbed them both and ran off with Sirius.
"Marlene's ginger!"
James froze, "you're not meant to know that. She got us all to promise to never tell you. Who told you? It was Sirius wasn't it? They're terrible at keeping secrets."
"Why would she dye her hair? What's wrong with being ginger!"
James shrugged, "I dont know! She's done it since she was like 9!"
Dorcas leaned over, "Her mum got her to do it as a kid and then she said she keeps doing it because 'ginger is much less rock n roll'... also hi lily, happy birthday."
"Fucker." Lily said.
"Woah Lily, Cas was just wishing you a happy birthday, no need for swearing." Regulus slightly smiled.
Lily squinted at him in annoyance before reaching to hug him.
Pandora nudged Regulus, "He got you a gift, but he's so shy he asked me to give it to you instead."
"That's not what I said! I'm not shy!" Regulus said, nudging her back as she gave the wrapped present to Lily.
James bounded over her shoulder excitedly.
Inside was a vinyl of the single song, dancing queen.
Regulus put his hands in his pockets, "I thought it'd be a good fit for this party, and I am willing to dance."
Lily grinned, immediately running over to Mary to put it on.
The intro spinned into the air and James pulled Lily up onto a desk. They danced and danced. Others clambering up on the desks after them. Dorcas and Marlene dancing while making out, Pandora with Emmeline and Sybil, Mary leaving her station to join in the dance, Peter and Sirius back from their mission and immediately jumping up on the desks, and Regulus following through his promise to join Lily and James in the dance.
And Remus, with a clear shot of the record player with no one guarding it, didn't move from where he stood, and let abba sing out, just for Lily.
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Whoever requested out to the world to do this, here ya are.

jily variants cause theyre all i think about right now:
PERCABETHHHHH - they are so jily and i love them sm
peraltiago - EXTREMELY jily coded
hiccstrid - theyre just missing astrid being an academic gal and hiccup being a bit sillier
ronmione - they are the friends to lovers part of jilys enemies to friends to lovers
flynn and rapunzel - flynn is SOOOOOO james potter core
alvin and brittany - tbh jeanette is more lily BUT LIKE THE DYNAMIC
laurie and amy - more like a combo of laurie and amy and laurie and jo tbh but it kinda still works
marinette and adrien - SPECIFICALLY marinette and chat noir cause the other dynamics are a bit different
i live and breathe secret genius albus because you KNOW that he hates living in the shadow of his dad and what better way to be differenr? study his fucking ass off. albus is secretly hermione granger but differenr - he does the homework, just doesn't submit it. he intentionally flunks quizzes and unimportant tests but he ACES the important ones. no one (not even scorpius) has ever caught him studying. oh also hes really good at quidditch but has no house spirit/pride and would like to not be compared to his father mother brother and sister thank you very much. in my head (cause the curse child doesnt exist) albus is the very definition of 'would be the best at everythijg if they actually tried'
hot take but if ron died he would be more popular in the fandom
yall i miss jily😭😭😭 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 parents😭 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 break😭🙏 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??
sokka doesnt just like meat. he NEEDS meat. the water tribes are based off the inuit people, who primarily ate meat. you know why? cause they live in the poles. where it's extremely hard to grow plants. so to survive, they eat meat. sokka's so shocked that aang's vegetarian because he wouldn't survive in the south not eating meat. sokka's love of meat is probably more than most people but hey at least he has a reason for it
