maybe 13 sleepness nights and then you can write songs about it lol. i would hc reg as trans in aus but def not canon and i think my main issue (one of them) with jegulus is canon jegulus because it just wouldnt work honestly
james will forever choose sirius above everyone except his parents (maybe). i think james like 'list' of people who are important to him is like:
sirius
parents
lily (if jily exists)
remus and peter
mcgonnagall
regulus (he would still have trust issues tbh)
lily (if jily doesnt exist because theyre soulmates either platonic or romantic)
marlene
others
*SPECIFICALLY IN CANON*
i think sirius and regulus' relationship is similar to lily and petunias, just more extreme.
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.
the marauders officially initiate lily into their nerdy group (this involves them ominously inviting her into their dorm like they’re some sort of cult) and showing her the marauders map and the invisibility cloak (she proceeds to have a full on existential crisis because she cannot believe the four idiots in front of her have such powerful objects in their possession) they also try and give her a nickname but she refuses (they ignore her)
lily practically lives in the boys dorm room. she sleeps in james’ bed most nights, and has become so accustomed to them all walking around half naked. she always wakes up when james goes to early quidditch practice, but she’s never annoyed about it, only giving him a kiss and telling him to kick butt on the field (she obviously then goes back to sleep afterwards) during the times james is up late or up early, lily will literally just sleep in his bed alone, something the marauders also get accustomed to quite quickly (one night sirius jumped into james’ bed cause he wanted some cuddles but was horrified to find lily there instead, it only took a couple of minutes before sirius wound up sleeping beside lily, an activity they would end up doing quite often, both of them just wanting a sibling that loves them)
lily is the biggest cheerleader for james at all of his quidditch games, painting cute little gryffindor coloured flags on her face and making banners. it gets to the big quidditch game at the end of the year and james is so nervous, but lily makes it her personal mission to get him a good breakfast, an early night in bed, and as calm as possible (it works cause it’s lily evans obviously) and every single time james wins (or loses) a game he will fly over to lily and give her a kiss
for james’ 17th birthday, lily decided she wants to throw the biggest party in hogwarts history for him. using her connections from all the houses, as well as her good graces with the teachers and excellent leadership (and bribery) skills, she creates a whole committee dedicated to throwing james the best party ever. the party has everything james loves, even his parents (lily got them to appear in the fireplace via the floo network so he could talk to them on his birthday) and nearly the whole school rocks up (because everyone loves james potter) at some point during the night james takes lily and hides out in the astronomy tower so they can have a moment alone. lily’s worried that it’s because james doesn’t like his party but james assures her that that’s not it, and even starts getting emotional, saying that no one’s ever cared for him like she does, and that even after everything, he feels like he doesn’t deserve her. lily ofc also gets emotional, and they both just sit there stargazing for the rest of the night, gushing about how much they love each other (and talk about all the embarrassing moments of the night)
OK NOW FOR SOME RAPID FIRE CAUSE I’M RAMBLING TOO MUCH:
- james is determined to get into marlene and mary’s good graces, so he takes them out for a day at hogesmade (it the most chaotic and hilarious thing ever, mary and marlene tease him mercilessly and make the whole experience torturous for james)
- when lily meets effie and monty for the first time, she is terrified out of her mind that they won’t like her and therefore james won’t like her anymore (effie and monty ofc love her, and turns out lily is shell shocked about how good looking monty, teasing james about it and saying how she might’ve picked the wrong potter)
- in the later half of 7th year when the war takes a turn, james takes it upon himself to do as much research on muggles as possible, wanting to be informed and not accidentally be prejudiced or arrogant in any way (lily has no idea he does this)
- james serenades lily on valentine’s day by singing ‘I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do’ by ABBA (sirius, remus, and peter are his backup dancers and mary and marlene are his backup singers)
- lily is the only one who knows about the marauders being animagus (she already knows about remus being a werewolf) and at first was really angry they did something so reckless but eventually came around and took it upon herself to cover their tracks as much as possible (because they’re way too obvious about their secret)
- james is lily’s date to petunia’s wedding (lily was dreading the entire night and james was determined to make it fun) and so they ended up extremely drunk, leaving early and crashing a muggle club where they danced right in the middle of together
THERE’S SO MANY MORE I COULD DO BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME GAHHHHH
petition to make grumpy x sunshine into sunshine x midnight rain
ok i respect this and think youre fine but pls pls pls dont tag jily because im trying to enjoy my morning not read an argument😭😭😭
ship tags are for content that is in favor of that ship and nothing else. if you're going to bitch about not liking a ship then keep it the fuck out of the tag. shouldn't be so difficult to use some fucking common sense.
I'm not bitching first of all, and who tf told you that ship tags are only for those in favor of it????
That's bullshit if I ever heard it. @cheekyboybeth
you seeing this?? 💀💀
I think you're the one without common sense anon, bc who tf thinks that. I literally said I liked them platonically and that's what you call "bitching"? I expressed an opinion!!!! Damn, can't a person have those anymore? And let alone that wasn't even the point of the post, I was making a joke about something else— the discourses between the jegulus fans and the jily fans.
So stfu and stop sending me dumbass asks. I'm not answering you anymore, it's not worth my time.
rando: how much do you stalk peers online?
me: yes
all three marauders era friend groups (marauders, valkyries, skittles) have hardcore character parallels therefore scientists declare it is actually impossible not to ship them all with each other
hot take but if ron died he would be more popular in the fandom
james defo had a crush on regulus in 6th year but in 7th year when he started dating lily, it was all forgotten. regulus had a crush on james in 2nd-4th year but after sirius ran away, regulus hated james and he had enough problems to deal with at home anyways. at least thats how i would see canon jehulus
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.

oop partyvan is slaying
"OK, so James likes Lily and Regulus, Marlene likes Dorcas..." Remus made a pause, trying to collect his thoughts as Sirius continued to pout and James smiled awkwardly, avoiding Sirius' glare.
"And now you," Remus pointed at Peter, who continued to drink his tea.
"Like Barty and Evan, two people who are already in a relationship."
"I really don't understand why you guys are so focused on this, it's not like anything is gonna happen, look at James." Peter butted in.
"He is still single even after pining for Lily for years."
"Hey!"
