My new favourite headcanon that I made up, last night when I was supposed to be sleeping:
It’s that Pete made up all the marauders nicknames while he was high and the conversation went a little something like..
Remus: Pete how much did you have?
Pete: [very clearly high out of his mind] .. ‘othing.
Sirius: oh you’re absolutely wasted
Pete: nuhhh..
James: cmon Pete, let’s get you to bed
Pete: no!!.. you heard did ya?
James: sorry?
Pete: that people make nicknames.. like moonguy over there.. [lazily points his hand over to Remus’ direction]
James & Sirius: [laughing] moonguy??
Remus: oh my god.
Pete: I mean y’all.. don’t talk
Sirius: ..we can’t talk..?
Pete: yea.. you- have pads on your feet.. so you- *gags*
James: oh Padfoot come help me bring him to the bathroom *smirks*
Sirius: ..I hate you
Remus: Not so funny anymore is it?
Pete: oka.. moon..y
Sirius: ..moony..!
James: I like Moony better
Remus: I hate you all.
Sirius: *blows a kiss to Remus*
James: *helping Peter get to the bathroom*
Pete: why..?
Prongs: pardon?
Sirius: what’s he saying?
James: uhh, I don’t know
Pete: you have no..
James: who? ..Me or Sirius?
Pete: both.. you
James: what don’t I have?
Pete: noo uhh. no, no collar-
Pete: I see deers with collars in zoos..
James: well I don’t want to wear a collar, that’s for wild deer
Sirius: *walks in*
Pete: you should get a.. met.. ual one..
James: metal?
Sirius: a what?
Pete: Like a..
Sirius: a metal collar? What like a prongs? Aren’t they for dogs..-
Pete: prongs..! *hugs James*
Sirius: oh! Ha Prongs!! *hugs Pete & James*
Remus: huh?
Sirius: Pete came up with another nickname!
Remus: Hold up we’re not actually gonna use them? Are we??
Sirius: of course we are.. Moony
Remus: I hate you
James: *says from the bathroom* So Remus is Moony, Sirius is Padfoot and, apparently, I’m Prongs.
Remus: what’s Peter going to be?
James: well his Animagus is a rat so we can make something out of that-
Sirius: ..rattail..!
Remus: rat’s tails look like worms kinda.. or maybe-
Sirius: wormtail!!
Pete: nuh.. uh. *still over in the toilet*
James: it’s perfect.
And that’s how they got their nicknames, thank you for listening
