Now in many fanfics he’s the betrayer. The one who killed Jily in a car crash or fucked over his friends online, or just messed with the others lives.
Let’s take a moment to consider that Peter was in a war. As a child. He was 21 when he made this decision.
This is a Peter who grew up with James and got replaced in a day by Sirius. A Peter whose own parents and James and Sirius all implied that he was below them, until he started to copy them so they accept him.
This is a Peter who watched James and Sirius be cruel and mean and awful to anyone who crossed their path that wasn’t exactly like them.
This is a Peter who got put in Gryffindor by the hat as a hope that the courageous people there would bring out the best in him, and inspire the good.
This is a Peter who was taught to be mean and petty and hate anyone who disagreed with them by those very same Gryffindors.
A Peter who watched as James and Sirius pretended to accept Remus, but never truly did. A Peter who hated the way James acted around Lily, who hated Sirius’ jealously, who hated how Remus didn’t care enough to stop them.
A Peter who was taught he was luckily for his friends. That he had to be perfect or everyone would leave. Despite being kind to them all, he only ever felt conditional love.
A Peter who grew and resented and then was hit with a final blow. He was made secret keeper. Because no one would ever think Jily would trust their barely friend Peter with this. The person James fucking grew up with would never ever be made their secret keeper.
And then they suspected Remus. The boy who punched when he was hurt and couldn’t kill a bug and let the girls cry on his shoulder despite not understanding how they felt. A Remus who James and Sirius never fully accepted as a werewolf, not truly, because if they did, the wouldn’t have suspected him as the mole. The Remus that Peter spent all those times he was left out with. Because those two understood that feeling.
A Peter who wasn’t with Remus during the war because Remus was a werewolf. Who went on order missions and spent his other time alone. Who couldn’t bare to be around anyone after they started doubting him.
A Peter who didn’t spend as much time around baby Harry, because James forgot to invite him. A Peter who Lily never liked because she never tried to see him for him. A Peter who didn’t understand what Voldemort was trying to do, but felt the resent and pain and anguish from being alone during the hardest times of the war.
A Peter who didn’t see the difference between a blood traitor cursing awful scars onto a pureblood for their beliefs, opposed to a pureblood cursing pain onto a blood traitor for their beliefs. “Why is it ok for us to attack them, but not for them to attack us?”
Who gave in to the temptation to not be in danger and to take out all the long lasting anguish he felt. Who didn’t think it through.
A Peter who probably never meant to frame Sirius. Never meant to leave Remus alone. A Peter who saw what he did and panicked. Became the thing he’d first become to help a friend. A friend who he’d just left alone.
A Peter who then had to spend 12 years as a rat. Remembering that this is always what he was supposed to be, this is his animagus form after all. Remembering every “wormtail” joke and every mocking laugh behind his back and then seeing James’ dead face over and over.
This Peter went too far to come back. This Peter fell all the way into Voldemorts hands because he was a bad person now and he hated himself for it. A Peter who deep inside… wanted Sirius and Remus to kill him that day. Who looked into his friends eyes and saw 12 years of Azkaban and 12 years of loneliness.
A Peter who died to his own hand… because truly he died the second he chose to join Voldemorts army, he did this all to himself.
Because it is his fault for betraying them. And then lying for 12 years. For handing a death certificate to a child.
But it isn’t his fault for breaking. For growing up entirely alone. For everyone who hated him before they knew him. Who hated his facade that he only invented to be liked.
For only ever receiving conditional love.
And in a world without war I wholeheartedly feel Peter Pettigrew wouldn’t be the bitch who outed Sirius to his mother, or the guy who caved to the University bully conveniently named Tom Riddle.
This was a war. This was loneliness.
(Oh and side note: God forbid JKR ever writing a chubby character as a good fucking person.)
I don’t particularly like canon Peter. I don’t like the decisions he made or the way he didn’t stand up for himself.
But if we’re going to say Sirius and James included him in everything. If we’re going to idealise their world or write a modern au. Peter fucking Pettigrew HAS to at least be insanely screwed over and isolated for him to betray his friend.
BECAUSE HE WASN’T WEAK! He was never fucking weak. He never caved in fear. He caved in deep fucking hatred. He caved in conditional love and second place trophies and emotional intelligence that was never understood. He wasn’t weak.
He was broken.
😭 No but Literally
it’s the sad face, the ugly and fraying sweaters and the weepy loser behaviour that got me horny for him

I have a Marauders fancast opinion that may or may not rustle some jimmies: now don’t get me wrong, Andrew Garfield as Remus, Aaron Taylor Johnson as James, Evan Peters as…Evan etc are good fancasts on their own. Sofia Bryant as Mary, Beabadoobee as Marlene, Filah Lah Lah as Dorcas etc. are also very good fancasts on their own, but am I the only one who finds it kind of weird when they’re all part of the same fancast? for example the fandom can’t be like “oh Karen Gillan/Sophie Skelton are too old to play Lily anymore, gotta find a younger one” but somehow at the same time still be fine with currently 35-45 year old men.
I definitely do think that's weird, I don't understand why people have the need to hate on others for their fancast aside from when it's problematic. For example, Dane Dehaan and Jamie Bell as Peter. You can't excuse the fact that Peter is CANONICALLY PLUS SIZE! Due to a headcanon that "Peter only got fat because of the stress of being Voldemort's mole", or because of the "stress of the war" when he was described as plump in his youth.
As for the age differences it's really not that weird if you really think about it. Most often we see fancasts in edits, and in those edits they usually us scenes of Aaron Taylor Johnson in Nowhere Boy, and Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray, and Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spiderman. During the times those films came out ATJ was 18, Ben Barnes was 28, and Andrew Garfield was 29.
Sofia Bryant is 23, so is Beatrice Laus (Beabadoobee), and Filah Lah Lah is 24. So in the grand scheme of all these fancasts the age difference isn't really that big. The largest difference is between ATJ and Andrew Garfield and that's only 11 years.
So I definitely do understand where you're coming from but if you take into account when they're being fancast it really makes so much more sense.

So, I’ve decided to create indepth posts about astrology; the signs/placements, planets, and houses. I have a short overview here. Everyone has a whole birth chart, here’s a free site that I use and trust (don’t go on co-astrology it’s full of stereotypes and misinformation.)
