lily evans and marlene mckinnon
- Ultimate opposites attract
- Lily leaves little notes in Marlenes bag that can just say little things like “I hope you have a nice day” or its a long ass poetic speech on why marlene is the greatest person she has ever met and is so lucky to have her as a friend. When marlene finds those ones she has to leave class to go cry in the bathroom.
- “You had a crush on me?” “Of course I did. Who wouldn’t?” except it goes both ways
- Imagine, head girl lily Evans who gets the highest grades in her year, has like 4 extra curricular activities and has never gotten a detention in her life, is dating stoner girl marlene McKinnon who literally only gives a fuck about 2 of her classes + quidditch and instead of doing her homework she spends all her time delving into whatever hyper fixation that has her in a death grip atm
- Love each other to bits but would rather die than be in a group project together
- Lily is the person who helps dye the back of Marlenes hair if she cant do it herself
- Act like an old married couple even though they insist they aren’t even dating
- Marlene has adhd and struggles with executive dysfunction and so she usually does her assignments in a caffeine fuelled haze at 2am the day before its due when she finally gets the adrenaline kick she needs to start, but she always gets the assignment submitted (maybe a few minutes late but still). And this generally stresses lily even without the added fear of relying on this “method” for her own grade. Which makes her pester marlene and that annoys marlene (and makes her feel really guilty).
- Marlene will rush outside without shoes if she sees it snowing and lilies behind her yelling to remember her coat
- And then lily takes care of marlene when she inevitably gets sick
- Those friends who REALLY blur the lines of platonicness
- Totally make out when theyre drunk and they both have been in love with each other at some point
- When lily is ready to burst into a pile of stress because of the high expectations she puts on herself to get a good grade, marlene is always there to distract her by whisking her away. Whether its just to the kitchens to bake something delicious or to sneak out to hogsmeade for the whole night to wonder the streets, it cheers lily up so much and makes her feel sane again
- They are both super protective of each other
- It took a really long time for them to open up to each other. They were both friends with Mary first which meant they were usually around each other but they never connected because lily hated the marauders in her younger years while marlene grew up with James and Peter so ofc she didnt like that some random girl was talking shit about her friends.
- In 3rd year Marlenes mother got remarried and she suddenly got a new stepsister and was really nervous about it (because she only has an older brother at that point) and asked lily for advice on having a sister. Obviously she soon decided she did not want a relationship like petunia and lilys but did bring marlene and lily closer.
- Lily and marlene have sensory issues and they can tell when the other is overstimulated so they do their best to make sure the other is in an environment that accommodates to their extreme discomfort (but sometimes they dont have control over their environment and it eats them up inside because they know how terrible the other is feeling and they cant help)
- Out of all of lilys friends, marlene was the loudest and most insistent that lily stops being friends with Snape. She knew the affect he had on lily way better than others because marlene was the one who found her sobbing her eyes out after Snape insulted her in front of his new friends for the gazillionth time. She was the one who always listened to her explain whatever bullshit he pulled and hugged lily for hours while she mourned what her friendship with Snape had become. And THEN marlene had to listen to lily justify why she was still friends with him just because he apologised and claims he’s going to do better. She is the one who saw the full extent of snapes impact on lily’s mental and emotional wellbeing and she was aware of how Snape manipulated lily into thinking how he was treating her was ok. She had absolutely no sympathy for him and always supported the marauders when they pranked him (even if they did go a bit too far) and occasionally joined in herself.
- They have matching friendship bracelets that they got in 4th year. Marlene was buried with it on her wrist.

Sooo... I may have fallen in love with these two dorks all over again. xD
I last attempted to draw these two back in 2021, but I ended up going back through their content recently and just really wanted to draw them again. :D
Sam and Max have such a great dynamic and play off of each other so, so well. And despite all the wacky hijinks they seem to constantly end up in, you know they love each other very much and will always have each other’s backs! (Even when they're fighting over who gets to answer the phone first LOL)
Sometimes true love really is a 6-foot tall anthro dog and a kinetic rabbit-y... thing! x'D
So here they are, in all their glory! ^^ Probably just having some downtime before the next bizzare assignment the commissioner decides to throw their way.
I've always struggled more with characters that have longer snouts, so this was a good challenge for me! As well as drawing up a proper background instead of just slapping a gradient on it and calling it a day! xD
Overall, I'm really happy with how this turned out! <3 I got to stretch the artistic muscles a lil bit and draw a couple of lads I really haven't shown much love to before!
So I hope you guys enjoy this too!
And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^

Sam & Max (c) Steve Purcell
