✨The Marauders Yap✨

it's here !! i did it !! y'all asked for a pod wayyyy back in july and i deliberated (stressed) for so long about it but ! it's here <3

this is a very unprofessional podcast where i (and anyone that i drag on along the way) sit and yap about harry potter ! the characters, the ships, fandom etiquette and discourses, engaging in a fandom space, creating for one, jkr etc etc -> it'll all go down here ! we're gonna yap !

Ep 1: The Importance of Fandom -> link here

this is the introductory episode so you know 🙂↕️ give him some grace 🙂↕️

i talk about how i got into the marauders fandom and what it looks like for me, and then about the importance of preserving these spaces given current events!

i yap about representation, community, and creativity and how these things are so so soooo important right now, and how we need to do our Best to keep them here <3

this is a Solo episode, just me and my dodgy mic!

the next ep will be my jkr,,, thesis? dissertation. diss track. application for a defamation claim. whichever is your preferred term for it is, it's my jkr monologue!

but for now, i hope you enjoy listening to a 20 year old wizard fan with the technological skills of a caveman that's been confronted with chatgpt yap away about fandom spaces for 50 minutes !

and thank you @itsradla for the logo and banner <3 again, tech is my worst enemy <3

(guys fr like the sound is not great sorry ! it goes very back and forth because i figured out what was going wrong AS i was editing, so i fixed the worst bits?? but i didn't want to refilm all of it because i liked that it was unrehearsed and sparsely planned ! but i promise from here on out, my mic works and i will not sound like a lawnmower <3)

We’re doomed oh I mean good morning. I guess

not to hate on another person’s work but the harry potter series is easily the worst marauders fanfic i’ve ever read it wasn’t gay enough and i hated all of the deaths

your unreliable narrator fucking bit me

“It is a condition of monsters that they do not perceive themselves as such. The dragon, you know, hunkered in the village devouring maidens, heard the townsfolk cry ‘Monster!’ and looked behind him.” ―Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Laini Taylor

Look at you!

My little Klaus fic is all grown up and posted on ao3!

❣️😭❣️

day ten reveals!

this is godric's hollow by @moonyship 1/?, 5.4k Harry has only ever wanted to kill dragons. In Godric's Hollow, its basically a right of passage. A way to prove yourself. And as soon to be Chief, he desperately needs to prove himself before the dragons destroy everything he loves. The only issue is that he can't bring himself to do it.

we go where no one goes by @thundersarts 1?, 3.2k They treat Regulus as a ghost story. Something to share around a fireplace to scare kids, to make them not hate dragons because they're good as long as you are good. Regulus isn't a person to them. He's a curse. A sacrifice. Not to Sirius, though. Never to Sirius. After years of Regulus Black being missing, James goes out alone on a mission far from Berk. What he doesn't account for is to encounter the very same ghost that has been haunting his best friend's life.

postmarked by @kelpforestfire 1/?, 2.2k If the movie Klaus (2019) was made with the marauders, featuring a spoiled rich kid Sirius, disillusioned broke former idealist teacher Remus, snarky Peter, and love torn James. A Santa Klaus origin story.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

someone come read this with me!

For those interested in Remus’s POV of Rourke, I’ve posted a few thousand words.
