That whole thing about fictional couples being alive in other universes has to be real because I’ve seen it TWICE now.
Two years ago I worked with an extremely smart girl who had blonde hair and a weird relationship with her dad. Her long term boyfriend who she’s been dating since they were like 14 has jet black hair with a grey streak in the front (and only in the front) and bright green eyes.
Now I’m working at a summer camp and one of the campers has a father who looks exactly like every piece of fan-art of James Potter (glasses and British accent included) and a mom with bright red (natural) hair.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

no thoughts head empty except YOU SAW FOREVER SO YOU SMASHED IT UP-
well, i am a teen so idk? i did start reading hp really early though, and jily was always one of my favs :) i really just think that happy marauders are just so much more relaxing to talk/watch/read/look at/about
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??
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
ahhhh that makes sense. i really tried to enjoy jegulus but i think its more the regulus part i cant get behind. him and the other slytherins have had so much of their past/future erased that i tend to dislike their characters. i definitely prefer the black sisters because (on my fyp at least) people are much more open to embracing their dark side. HOWEVER i did read a jegulus fic that i really enjoyed so🤷♀️. its also really odd cause i find jegulily to be pretty cute (only in muggle aus tho cause i feel like regulus has too much blood supremacy drilled into him)
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.

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'
