Marauders & co. at an airport/ on a plane
James: Looks in every shop at the airport, is really hyper up until he gets on the plane, then he’s pretty chill
Sirius: Terrified of flying on a plane (will fly on a literal broomstick but can’t even think about flying in an enclosed space). Brings his skincare to do on the plane.
Remus: Forces everyone to get to the airport early, packs the night before, is at least 20 people’s airport crush. Reads the whole plane ride
Peter: Brings snacks, magazines, games. Gets lost but makes friends with some random person who he’ll never see again
Marlene: Goes into every shop with James, will not chill out on the plane (always asks the flight attendants a million questions), is that annoying person who claps when the plane lands
Lily: Helps Remus rangle everyone into coming to the airport early, has her whole suitcase organised, sleeps on the plane
Mary: Forces everyone to get to the gate early, first in line onto the plane, gets really stressed (especially going through security)
Regulus: Looks chill, but he’s actually really scared of planes (like Sirius), has monogrammed luggage, listens to music on the plane. Sits on the aisle seat
Pandora: Is actually super chill, has the “we get there when we get there” mentality. If no one dragged her along to be early she’d turn up as the gate was closing. Brings her latest craft project onto the plane (not like messy stuff, like crochet or embroidery or smth)
Dorcas: Makes sure no one gets lost, is at least 20 people’s airport crush (like Remus), is willing to put people on one of those backpack leash things. Talks to people on the plane.
Evan: Tired™️. It doesn’t matter if the flight is at 1pm, he’ll still sleep at every chance he gets. Goes crazy when the airport has a Lego shop. Sleeps on the plane (obvi)
Barty: Is extremely annoying. Won’t be ready when everyone has to leave, definitely forgot something at home, is super annoying on the flight (will be that person that “asks questions” when the flight attendants are doing the safety thing), claps when the plane lands.
@mylordcheezer has technically given me permission to rant, so here it is.
1. James and Sirius would so watch h2o because it’s almost like their animagus, as in they turn into mermaids and they have to hide it. Also, the fact that’s they would be outcast by society if they revealed their secret would remind them of Remus (also Emma Cleo and Ricky go a bit loopy on full moons and they have to hide from the moon and other people, almost like the shrieking shack). Mostly they would watch it just for funsies tho
2. (Kinda spoilers for s1 young royals) Regulus would relate to Wilhelm, they both grew up as the “spare” but then when their older brothers left/died, they suddenly became the important one. They also both had to hide their queerness. Also, regulus would totally learn Swedish and become fluent in it. (Also, he always has captions on because he can’t hear it if the captions aren’t on. I’m totally not saying that because it’s how I watch stuff)
3. I fully believe that James would have read the heartstopper comics before the show came out, and Sirius would be a “heartstopper is cringe” girlie, until James forced him to watch it. Then he would be OBSESSED. I’m talking, reading all the comics, buying them, watching the show on repeat, starting a whole fan account, the whole lot. Also, he’d tease James about the fact that hes nick and regulus is Charlie.
4. Evan and barty would binge heartbreak high in one night, idk why they would like it so much, it just gives off their vibes. Bartys favourite character would be Harper and evans would be ca$h
5. Dorcas would LOVE the chilling adventures of Sabrina because like, it’s witchy and stuff, idk it just gives off her vibes, she would laugh about how wrong they were about witchcraft though. And gossip girl, I actually haven’t watched it so I don’t really know, but my friend said it kinda gave of dorcas vibes and I can see it so yah
6. Omg lily and Mary just give off Gilmore girl vibes. Mary would love Lorelei and lily would love sookie, like so much. They would both be like, edward Cullen level obsessed. And gossip girl, they’d watch that because dorcas put them onto it and they’d have weekly picnics to discuss it.
7. I feel like lily would just relate to Anne, like, I don’t really have a reason behind this one, lily just gives cottagecore girlie vibes
8. Pandora would watch the good place because it’s kinda like upbeat but also really dark and twisted, which is kinda like her. Like I see pandora as being really light and kinda loopy and stuff but she has really dark interests.
9. Pandora and regulus would so watch umbrella academy together, again, it’s kinda dark and a bit out there so obviously they’d both love it. Regulus would relate to viktor, because they both feel out of place in their families. Pandora would try to guess what’s gonna happen next and she’d be eerily right every time.
10. Peter and Sirius’s friendship is silly and I see it as childish in the best way possible, so they’d watch teen titans religiously. Sirius would LOVE starfire (idk why but I just think he would) and Peter would be obsessed with beast boy or robin.
11. Remus would watch shadow and bone for the six of crows parts. He wouldn’t be obsessed with the shadow and bone parts, but with six of crows? YES. He obviously would have read the books (the shadow and bone trilogy and the six of crows duology). He would relate so much to kaz, because they both feel like they aren’t deserving of love and that they shouldn’t love someone because it makes them vulnerable. Also, they both grew up kinda having to fend for themselves. Ok so derry girls, I think he’d just watch it for fun, it would be something he can watch to take his mind off things. I also think that Erin, Orla, Michelle and Clare would remind him of the marauders
12. Marlene would watch atypical for Casey, like Casey would be the reason she watched the show. And I also think she’d just watch kinda shitty shows just because she can. Like Kath and Kim (which is the best show ever made). She would love Kath and Sharon, just because they’re icons. That’s it really
13. James and regulus would watch the end of the f***ing world and I am not okay with this because James would want to watch something with his boyfriend, and even though he’s not as interested in the supernatural/dark sides of the shows, he sees how happy it makes regulus, and that makes it all worth it. Honestly, he’d spend the whole time looking at regulus
14. Regulus and Remus’ friendship gives me life, so naturally I have to have a show that they watch together, which is the queens gambit. Tbh I haven’t watched it, but I just feel like they would both like it.
15. I KNOW THIS IS A NEW ONE BUT I HAD TO ADD IT. Sirius would watch young royals so he could have something to talk about with regulus.
Ok that’s the end of my rambles, that was really great because none of my friends care about the marauders, so dumping my thoughts on random internet people is my next best option. Enjoy 😉.
Tv shows I think people from the marauders era would watch:
James and Sirius: H2o (and they’d fucking love very minute of it)
Regulus: Young Royals
Sirius and James (yes again, because I can): heartstopper
Evan and Barty: Heartbreak high (the new one)
Dorcas: the chilling adventures of Sabrina/gossip girl
Lily and Mary: Gilmore girls/ gossip girl (they’d talk about it with dorcas)
Lily: Anne with an E
Pandora: the good place
Pandora and regulus: umbrella academy
Peter and Sirius: teen titans go
Remus: shadow and bone (he’s obviously read the books first tho)/ derry girls
Marlene: atypical/sex education/ Kath and Kim
James and regulus: the end of the f***ing world/I am not ok with this
Regulus and Remus: the queens gambit
I HAVE REALLY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS TO ALL OF THESE BUT THEYRE REALLY LONG AND RAMBLY SO IM LEAVING THEM OUT
Marauders era on a road trip (james, Sirius and Marlene stole a school bus to make sure everyone was on the same thing)
Sirius and Remus: Sitting at the back making out
James: “WHO WANTS TO PLAY I SPY WITH ME? No? OK HOW ABOUT TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE?”
Evan: Asleep
Barty: drawing on evan
Dorcas: In charge of the music, has an amazing playlist lined up
Peter: Giving directions (really badly, but it’s fine)
Marlene: pulling faces/holding up random signs at cars on the road
Pandora: sitting very aesthetically with the window down, the wind like, blowing her hair perfectly and drawing BEAUTIFUL things because she’s a queen
Regulus: Reading with his noise cancelling headphones on but every now and then he looks up and rolls his eyes at James (who obviously swoons)
Lily: playing hand games with Mary (apple on a stick, chopsticks, bang bang shoot etc.)
Mary: playing hand games with lily, as well as having a very heated debate with Peter over the directions
You know, regulus, James, dorcas, Marlene, Barty, Evan, lily, Mary, Remus and Sirius would have all gotten sweaters today.
But they won’t. None of them will, because sadly, they all had a meeting with a bald man with no nose, one of his club members or a random veil.
Every day, every single day, I hate myself for coming into the the marauders fandom. And to whoever decided that Happy Xmas (war is over) with videos of the marauders would make a good tik tok, I hope you suffer every day with the thought of the people you have hurt
Marlene is constantly doodling and drawing. She's one of the most talented artists Hogwarts had ever seen (which is so unfair according to her friends because how is she sportsy and artsy??) and it drove the girls wiiild. Her converse always had doodled stars, her notebooks were full of sketchss, and her hands would always end up decorated with little drawings by the end of the day. But no one knew about the one sketchbook Marlene had that worked for her like a diary - that's where she drew her thoughts and tried to express her feelings. This is how her notebook progressively got filled with drawings of the Slytherin girl with the dark eyes. At first Malrnene's drawigs of Dorcas were rushed, angry, intense but after some time the lines got softer, and an adoration, a gentleness could be sensed in the way Marlene drew the curve of her neck, her earrings, her beautiful hair
Dorcas and Marlene both came out as lesbians around the same time. The result was that every sapphic at Hogwarts was having a FIELD TRIP. Ladies were fawning over them,writing love letters, sending gifts. Marlene and Dorcas because of their ridiculous rivalry (and sexual tension) with each other ended showing off whenever one of them got a confession or a conquest (yes, they were a little bit of a fuckgirls let them be). Both of them couldn't understand why this particular game of theirs annoyed them considerably more than the others, until at one party Marlene honest to God full on made out with a girl while locking eyes with Dorcas. THE SEXUAL TENSION COULD BE CUT WITH A KNIFE EVEN PETER WAS SWEATING AND HES ACE
Dorcas says, "That's pretty racist ngl" everytime something that she doesn't like happens and just watches the terror in people's eyes with the biggest grin. Marlene almost cries every time it happens. On the other hand Regulus has learned to adapt and just hits her with a "so you're transphobic now i guess?"
