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'
Kiyi: LOOK! ITS MY ITSY BITSY BABY SIBLING!
Ozai: Are you talking about Azula or Zuko?
Kiyi: Zuko is itsy bitsy and Azula is eensy weensy.
Azula: Well “eensy weensy” is ready to kill you and “itsy bitsy” looks like he’ll help!
Kiyi: Aww! They’re bonding!
i put this on a reblog but it deserves its own post tbh:
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 jegulus. its unrequited on both ends and they liked each other at different times. i also think james' crush was more attraction+sympathy for regulus' situation
haha i dont consciously think about either tbh but i just have a whole timeline mapped out in my head idk where it spawned from. AND YES LILY EVANS IS A GODDESS AND QUEEN🧎♀️➡️🧎♀️➡️🧎♀️➡️i think jily is also just too pure/its the og marauders ship so no one can hate on it cause how can you hate your roots
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.
yes, he probably learned sarcasm from barty but he would still not use it too much i think. hes defo the more quiet thoughtful type

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.

i think (my memorys shitty so i could be hallucinating) that regulus used to be less broken and more just dark, which i really appreciated cause it shows you that characters can have so much nuance. in a way he reminded me of luke castellan from pjo (if youve read it). more recently hes begin to just be another 'sarcastic bookworm' character, honestly becoming way too similar to fandom perceptions of remus and lily. i think that people use his background for angst and not character development which is really disappointing for me. and in my head, regulus would NEVER be sarcastic, purey because of the household he was raised in (its the same with sirius but hes the complete opposite). regulus' trauma isnt so much overlooked as it is just made better, as if they had to tweak his personality to match james' (anotber reason why i prefer jily) idk i think a lot of people recently just completely disregard canon and give him a new personality that they explain througj headcanons

i finished a new media so now it’s time for ATLA PRIDE HCs WOOOO!!!
so aang is unlabeled (and doesn’t identify as unlabeled either 💀💀) in all areas basically. he loves freely and doesn’t see gender or sex. he doesn’t see it in himself either. he mostly presents and refers to himself as a dude, but he found out he doesn’t mind being seen as a lady either. he’s crushed on katara and zuko during different points in his life, but he settled on katara. functionally, he’s pan and genderfluid.
katara is queer. she is the most unqueer queer ever though. she acts straight as a board I tell ya. she doesn’t really confine herself to labels much either, but she can tell you she was surprised at how much she enjoyed Lady Aang when that first became a thing.
sokka is bi. he probably thought men were supposed to marry women, but he quickly got over it when he got over his short lived misogyny. bi awakening wasn’t really a thing, he just sorta knew he always liked boys and girls. he’s had many crushes, but yue and suki are the ones that always stood out the most for him. obvi he dabbles in drag, that’s like sorta a canon thing. zuko’s autistic charms get to him and he ends up developing a crush on him.
toph is an aroace lesbian. she only dates the finest of women. she can tell she’ll read your heart with her feet.
zuko is gay like GAAAYYYY I don’t mean to bring accidental cheesy puns into this but he is a FLAMING homosexual, and I refuse to believe otherwise. at some point I said “I like zutara, but I just think atla is way funnier when in the back of your mind, zuko is gay.” anyways he’s gay and sex repulsed. zuko didn’t know he liked boys until he was 17, and he didn’t realize he was completely gay until a year later. he was very comphet and was always expected to produce a blood heir, and he didn’t think much of it. looking back, zuko noticed how he did find boys cute when he was younger and often avoided them because of it. he could sense that he and his sister were different, but he always thought that was because they were royalty. he only really started dating mai because they had so much in common, he thought that’s what was supposed to happen. when zuko, not long after becoming fire lord, realized he liked boys, he kept it to himself. a year later when he realized he only liked boys, he vented about it to mai, and she helped him through it. they broke up, but he still values her friendship. zuko finally gets with sokka in his 20s. yeah it took that long.
OTHER CHARACTERS THAT AREN’T GAANG THAT COME TO MIND!!
azula is a LESSSBIAAAAN that is a lesbian
I wanna say suki and ty lee are dating
smeller bee is definitely trans I don’t wanna hear it
uncle iroh doesn’t care. he loved his wife whatever happened to her, and he would also date a man.
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

Lily Evans
Acc: Sophithil on IG
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)

haha its been fun talking to you, im always happy to talk about the marauders. idk ive got very strong opinions about somethings, and while i do understand everyone elses pov, i just cannot fathom but im always down to listen/read. just out off curiosity, which different opinions do we have?

YESSSS i think it was knobbly knees or smth. and YES harry is tall and has his growth spurt late in life 100%. also ik its not daniel radcliffe making him ugly cause the third movie was peak harry in cinema

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
REALLLL harry looks like snow white but a guy and green eyes. bro gets sunburnt really easily because of lily's genes lol

Scrolling through the Jily tag when you have Jegulus blocked is exhausting.
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
Good morning ☀️
SCORBUSSS 🥺💖💖💖 "With my favorite sly "
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
I can't believe this fandom has fallen so hard that Jily is a secondary ship even for the characters involved
what do you mean jily is boring?
Jily is enemies to friends to lovers
Jily is He was a bitch to everyone but HER
Jily is Jock Boy×Bookworm Girl
Jily is If the world is mean to her I would fight the world
Jily is If we take this couple out of the show, there would be no show
Jily is everything your ship's fanfics want to frame as their own; put some respect on their love
If Lily has five million fans, I'm one of them. If Lily has five hundred fans, I'm one of them. If Lily has five fans, I'm one of them. If Lily has one fan, then that's probably James.
It’s Jily but the reason they aren’t dating is because they did date… first year when they were 11 and then James had to go and be stupid! And say something mean to Snape!!
So then, they had to break up, and since they were 11, and had been holding hands for a whole week! It was a very dramatic breakup for the Gryffindor tower
So then for 5 years they barely talk to each other and Lily stays as far away from James as possible, partly cause he’s a jerk to her friend, but also because of the awful breakup from when they were eleven
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 think everyone envied the beautiful couple that James and Lily were. They were the definition of love, the definition of romance. It was easy to see that they were meant for each other. And once they were together they would grow old together. Soulmates forever. There was no one else for them.
They were that couple that made everyone smile when they were together. The couple that proved to everyone that love existed.
AHHH this is so real. and we also have other characters like emmeline vance (my baby) and emma vanity and more who arguable got mentioned more than like evan rosier AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THEM. yes james and sirius are my fav besties BUT MARLENE AND LILY FRIENDSHIP IS RIGHT THERE ITS RIGHT THERE. and i cant even begin to mention the black sisters (heavy on narcissa) CAUSE THEYRE TEN TIMES AS INTERESTING AS evan rosier (mentioned like twice), barty crouch jr (his only personality trait is that hes a badboy and doesnt like his father) and (i will get attacked for this but whatever) regulus black, a canonical supporter of voldemort who only turned his back when kreacher was like. in danger.
can we talk about how the valkyries/marauders era girls are so just mischaracterized?
like here we have james, the funny, smart, prankster father of harry potter. might be immature sometimes. "the sun" "golden retriever" sirius: the bad-boy, a black sheep, sarcastic and snarky. remus, the smart, studious, gentle werewolf. and even peter: sometimes misunderstood, insecure, funny friend.
how about the girls?
lily is harry's know it all perfect mom. either james' gf or jegulus's enemy. marlene is reduced to a sirius variant. mary: popular black girl. shipped with either lily or marlene.
now, despite the pantheon/skittles having little mention in the books (excluding regulus), evan, barty, and reg all have tangible fanmade personalities. the girls?
dorcas: smart black girl. marlene's girlfriend. pandora: evan's spacey twin sister.
it's very strange how nobody creates content about friendships between the girls. there's lots about remus and lily being friends, sirius and marlene, etc. but the girls are almost only talked about in shipping, whether it's with each other or with a guy.
this is NOT saying to stop posting about dorlene or jily or pandalily etc. this is me asking you to ask yourself: why don't you care about marlene and mary being friends as much as james and sirius' friendship?
idk guys am i delusional?
