My fave marauders ships and dynamics as a multi-shipper !! Ok so, there are certain ships I like to imagine as canon in the canon universe, and there are other ships that I prefer in aus and such but still ship them so much!! So I thought I’d just ramble abt them here lol.

My fave ships that are canon/I think I should be endgame:

First off, Jily ofc. My loves. I’m generally not super excited abt str8 couples but they’re just too cute. My fave dynamic with them is that they’re academic rivals — well at least lily thinks they are, James is just hopelessly in love with her and enjoys competition lol. Lily thinks he’s an idiot, immature and a bit of a bully at first but slowly warms up to him as she sees his kind-heartedness and stance on justice. Plus, she’s always found him a little hot :)

Wolfstar, duh. I don’t think I have to go into detail coz I already do so much on my blog lol.

Dorlene — aaah I love my tragic, angsty lil lesbians. Sucker for the quidditch-rivals-to-lovers trope. Ooh and i headcanon Dorcas as transfem. But yeah if you’ve read ‘the hands that feeds’ by rollercoasterwords that’s basically how I see their dynamic.

Fralice — cuties and did not deserve the ending they got ;((

Rosekiller — ok, ok. I know I’ve ranted abt how I don’t like the fanonization of their characters in fandom,, but I will admit I do like them together. Especially when they’re depicted as the awful people they are lol. I like to think that they’re still hooking up in GoF on nights where barty’s poly juice wears off lmaoo. Also random but I hc Barty to be in ravenclaw.

Pandora x Xenophillius (idk how to spell his name) — I like to imagine Pandora as a goth who runs an underground magical weed business and Xeno as a hippie weirdo and conspiracy theorist. Both are bi/pan tho and have def hooked up with ppl of the same gender before.

Andromeda x Ted Tonks — iconic. Love them. Andy was the og rebellious black family child.

Emmary — love, love this ship. For context, I picture Emmaline as a little older than Mary (maybe 2 or 3 years) and they meet when Em’s at the order. Mary’s a bisexual girlie who’s predominantly been with men at this point, and Em’s a big Butch lesbian who loves Mary so much but isn’t sure if Mary likes her back, at first. Ofc they end up together after the first war but when Em wants to join the second war, Mary oblivates herself and retreats to the muggle world entirely because she cannot bear more pain.

My fave ships that I like to think are semi-canon, as in their unrequited, or right person wrong time, or both have feelings that the other doesn’t know — they just don’t workout for some reason:

First off, Marylene — my absolute fave, right person, wrong time ship. Love the whole, ‘Marlene loved her too early, Mary loved her too late idea’. I’m a sucker for best friends to lovers ahhh. I imagine that Marls had crush on Mary since they were eleven and came out to her later, and although Mary was supportive she didn’t like her back at that point. Then Marls got with Dorcas and maybe Mary got a tad bit jealous. And then Marlene was killed ofc so Mary moved on and went with Emmaline, but she never really stopped loving Marlene.

Nobleflower — bi narcissa and Alice rights!! I like to think that they had a bit of a homoerotic friendship back in their hogwarts years, but the fact that they were on opposite sides eventually pulled them apart. And so Alice gets with Frank and Narcissa with Malfoy. Aaah so tragic I love them

Lily x Remus — I like to think Lily had a little crush on Remus when they were younger but she got over it and they became besties !!

Bellatrix / Lady Zabini — Toxic murder comphet lesbians!! Tho I imagine they ‘broke up’ their fling coz Bellatrix was murdering with pure blood fascism in mind,,, and lady Zabini was just like,, why can’t we just kill ppl for the sake of killing them?? 🥺🥺

Jegulus — ok so I don’t like jegulus as a canon(ish) ship, buuut I love me some unrequited jegulus, specifically from Regulus’ side coz sorry I just personally don’t see James ever liking Reg in canon. I imagine Reg goes into hogwarts wanting to hate the guy who stole his brother but ends up falling for him just the same. He has internalised homophobia and hates the fact that he’s gay, esp for someone like James lol.

Bartylus — My hc is that neither of them liked each other romantically, but they settled and got off each other to pass time. It’s transactional, at least it’s starts off being..maybe barty’s a little more into it than reg thinks they are.

Peter/Bertha Jorkins — I like to imagine they dated for awhile during hogwarts — until Bertha got bored of him and dumped him. Peter never really got over it and was still bitter.

Peter/Sybil — oooh I remember this one was trending on marauders tik tok awhile back but I’m still not over it. Happens after Bertha/Peter. Sybil breaks up with Peter maybe coz she gets a prophecy that he becomes evil. Peter is confused and heartbroken.

Snily — ok hear me out!! I don’t care for their portrayals in a lot of fics coz I think the pro / anti Snape bias is always there — but I would be open to exploring the complexity of their dynamic in a fic when snapes actions aren’t justified or excused, but he’s not portrayed as a one dimensional bad guy. And I think it would be interesting to explore more of Lily’s character and why she stuck by him so long.

Ok, now onto ships that I only enjoy in aus:

Marylily/macevans — by far my fave ship in aus. Best friends to lovers >>>> also half the marauders edits saved on my phone are marylily edits lmaoo they’re just so cute!!

Jegulus — requited this time!! If it’s an au and James is not reduced to a generic sunshine people pleasing character, then they’re a little cute I’ll admit. Not the biggest fan of the 'best friend's brother' trope but the drama is entertaining at least.

Mary/Dorcas — I don’t think they’re a very popular on here but I personally like it. In a way they’re opposites but they’re motivations are a lot more similar than they realise.

Pandalily — so, so cute. Fanart is spectacular

Dorlily — so academic rivals to lovers coded

Prongsfoot — specifically in aus where James and Sirius are on opposing sides, for example, slytherin!Sirius au

Wolfstarbucks — James and sirius share everything!! Including their lovers apparently. Mostly enjoy it as a crack ship tho.

Well this was fun!! I love multi-shipping <33

more hcs cause im having far too much fun-

if you like these check out the others

James Marlene Peter Xenophilius Evan

regulus head canons!!!

he gives me big gay (mlm) trans masc vibes

Walburga let him transition after Sirius ran away because they needed a male heir (she’s not supportive it’s purely for personal gain)

Regulus cannot express his emotions properly because he was never allowed to or taught how so he snaps at people sometimes because he gets frustrated with himself

he’s definitely tried to burn James’ crocs more than once

still has the cat stuffie Sirius got him on his 5th birthday (their name is mittens) but would never admit it (Sirius knows but won’t say a word because he doesn’t want Reg to get rid of it)

got a leo constellations tattooed under each of his top surgery scars

he jokingly flirts with Remus cause it annoys the shit out of Sirius

is closest with Evan Barty and Remus

Effie absolutely adores this boy like she sends him hand knitted or crocheted gifts and baked goods constantly

definitely kissed Barty at some point during like 3rd year to figure out what kissing felt like

lactose intolerant idk why he just gives off the vibes of someone who’d eat cheese even tho it only causes him pain

reads classical work and poetry but also started reading cheesy romance books when he met James and now he kinda likes them but if you ask him he’ll deny it point blank

really good artist doodles on all his homework and sometimes his friends arms if he’s in a good mood

really good at healing because he had to learn to patch up Sirius when they were younger

constantly cold wears hoodies in the summer and hates going outside in the winter

steels Barty Evan Remus and James’ sweaters all the time

biggest insecurity is his temper he hates when he gets angry because it reminds him of his mom

bitch is ripped!!! very strong boy

loves his name because it was the first thing he chose for himself

learned to play quidditch just to hang out with Sirius

way too good at flirting for his own good

shares clothes with Sirius cause they’re both short and have great taste

very blunt no bullshit kinda guy when he’s comforting someone but it works he’ll just straight up tell you to cut them out of your life if they really deserve it and he’s usually right about that sorta thing

does not know how to cook at all

Sirius immediately figured out James and Regulus liked each other and teases Reg relentlessly

Regulus flirts with James so much- James is oblivious James flirts with Regulus even more Reg is worse

feel free to send me asks if you want me to do any characters i haven’t done yet i love doing these :]

Regulus fakes his own death and all his bffs are like “oh shit! I gotta support my best friend and betray voldemort bc reg is so much sexier” But not rlly, but also… sorta???

- And because james had star’s surrounding his head Regulus couldn’t help but melt. The stars were the ones that you drew when u were younger as triangles because you couldn’t draw them the proper way, they were blue and yellow. And it made Regulus so happy. James had made Regulus so happy, in a way he had never been.

Hey! So, first of all, I wanted to let you know how much I love Choices. I love how you were able to make most people understand Jegulus a lot better and make them see how it could work in Canon!

But there’s one thing I’m curious about actually. What made you decide to make Barty and Evan the way they are in the fic? It’s just a question that I’ve been having lately, mainly because of Barty, because I think in canon, Barty started to go crazy after Hogwarts and I think it was because of the dementors and his fathers imperius curse on him for so long. (You can correct me if I’m wrong, of course. But i don’t think he was that bad yet when he was at hogwarts. Because i think there was a big cause that made Barty like that, which I don’t think happened at hogwarts but mainly the things after hogwarts (like Reg’s death. Azkaban, and of course his father having the imperius curse on him for so long).

That’s why it took me a while at the beginning of choices to get used to Barty’s characterisation because I’m used to seeing Evan being the kind of crazy one and Barty always being at Regulus’ side, and being very protective over Reg and worries over him. I’ve just come to love Barty’s and Regulus’ friendship because they were always adorable when they were together (mainly because Barty would do anything to have Regulus safe or happy).

But Barty’s characterisation didn’t make me like Choices any less. I still loved it and I loved Jegulus in it and Wolfstar and it’s great to see how far you’ve come with it!

I can’t wait until the new chapter is out! <3

Even tho I already know it will break my heart knowing that Reg is close to dying.

Hello lovely! I mean, totally I think Barty goes a little more off the rails after the Dementors and being stuck in his dad's house under his control for several years. But, he does still become a Death Eater as a teenager and is fanatical enough that he's out with the Lestranges literally torturing people into insanity trying to find Voldemort after he disappears. And it seems to me that there's an element of Barty's involvement with the Dark Arts that is very centred around getting his father's attention - his father who cares more about his job and catching dark wizards than his son. So I see Barty as someone who is a weird mixture of incredibly conceited and incredibly insecure, and he is willing to go to extremes to get the attention and respect he thinks he deserves. Honestly, I didn't intend for either Barty or Evan to be at all likeable, which I think if you go back and you read some of the earlier interactions with them you can kind of see. But then the more I wrote the three of them (Reg, Barty, Evan) the more I needed some kind of buffer between Reg and Barty who were both pretty intense and Evan just became that comic relief, but it really was not my intention to make him the "nice" one and Barty the "mean" one. Like my original intent was to have them both be horrible. Which, y'know, they are, it's just that somehow Evan ended up being both horrible and funny :)

for barty, i’m going to create a canon divergent continuation bc he deserves to flourish and bug every one of ur muses

first: a reminder that my barty is book based, tho i might take inspo from the movies cause mixed canon is beautiful

anyways, rather than getting his soul a good succ by a dementor, mcgonagall mcmanages to ward off the dementor with a patronus. she and cornelius fudge think that they reacted too late, however, and that barty is a Goner. in reality, he just got overwhelmed with the feeling of hopelessness and despair, not to mention he is TERRIFIED of dementors after being tortured by them in azkaban, so he knocks out from the short encounter. mcgonagall and fudge try to take control of the situation with the dementor by removing it from the castle, and leave barty unattended (since they think he’s a husk of a person, so they weren’t worried about him leaving; also, they were addled by the whole affair and not being too careful). barty ends up waking up with no one around, so he makes his getaway.

in my canon, it is Fact that the dementor jumped his bones because voldemort ordered it to, and barty knows this. he knows that voldemort was making moves on getting the dementors to join him. barty was a iiability; voldemort knew that he needed a contingency plan in case he was caught. barty is none too pleased by this betrayal. his best and worst trait is that he is severely loyal, and having that bond broken is the worst possible thing you could do to hurt him. he spent over a decade suffering because of his short and anemic time as a death eater, only ever joining due to his admiration and imagined kinship with voldemort. barty never believed in the cause / cared about being pure-blood or about muggles. he knew tom riddle wasn’t a pureblood, and voldemort’s relationship with his father reflecting barty’s relationship with his own father is almost entirely the reason he ever created a relationship with voldemort. he felt understood and cared for, and that’s all he ever wanted; voldemort was like some paternal figure to him, in a sense. he realizes now that voldemort simply targeted and groomed him due to being barty crouch sr.’s son, and that was a huge tool for voldemort to use.

barty never tortured the longbottoms. he was present for the event, but it was more or less an induction/hazing of sorts for him by the lestranges. again, he didn’t really care much for the cause, and most of his time as a death eater was spent as a resource for ministry intel; he spent a lot of time with voldemort personally for the sake of this grooming & information gathering. really, he didn’t particularly want to participate in that side of death eater activities, and he was in over his head. he used to be a goody two shoes for most of his life (gotta impress daddy!), and being a death eater was more of an act of teenage rebellion and hitting back at the world for being neglected and abused by his father, as well as his friends joining the group (again, loyalty is his downfall). he initially got involved because of his friends being death eaters.

for the longest time, however, barty became convinced that he was responsible for the longbottoms ending up in st. mungo’s. he couldn’t rationalize why his own father would send him to azkaban without bothering to listen to him if he hadn’t done it, so he coped with that feeling of helplessness by reasoning with himself that he had to have done it. that’s the only way he can have some sense of control over his situation; that he got here for a reason, of his own volition he participated. he made the choice, and the consequences are logical in that context. these delusions were fertilized by the dementors slowly making him unhinged; he was on death’s door before his father and mother pulled him out of azkaban because of how badly they were affecting him.

now, in this canon divergent verse, he is on the run. but he no longer considers himself a death eater. the dementor’s attempted kiss traumatized him in a way that began to unravel his delusions, shaking him loose from voldemort’s grasp. everything is becoming quite clear to him.

he is very angry.

he isn’t part of the order or anything. he’s just picking off death eaters when he can, as it’s the only real thing driving him now. voldemort was his only motivation before, and he has to grasp for something else now; he picked revenge. otherwise, he’s blending in with muggles a lot, as that’s the safest space to be for him. the ministry isn’t prioritizing him as a target like they should because fudge is too damn busy discrediting dumbledore, and he fears that catching barty might result in confessions or evidence that favors dumbledore’s side (”but barty is just a delusional fanatic death eater, so nothing he says would be accurate anyways” is fudge’s logic to back this up).

he’s kind of working through his emotions about how he’s acted now, and that’s where his character arc is at in this verse. he’s armed with his father’s wand and carries their matching pocket watches with him (guess who has hangups still! maybe you could have worked that out if you hadn’t turned your dad into a fucking femur u dipshit). he’s been trying to remove the dark mark from his arm obsessively, and it’s kind of self-harm at this point because it’s not supposed to be removable by any means. he has a permanent “scar” of sorts on his inner forearm, like a patch of discoloration that’s just....... gray because he’s been experimenting with trying to get rid of the dark mark. it makes him itchy just knowing it’s there.

also i have settled on a fc finally, here is bryan dechart, a good boy

#damn icb i typed this up............... almost feel like im a proper roleplayer again #| HC: BARTEMIUS CROUCH JR.#| OOC: HEY GHOULS!

marauders v.s. slytherin skittles (ft. the valkyries + snape)

With the rise of the 'slytherin skittles' in the fandom (even tho half of them are in ravenclaw but whatevs) -- I've been trying to figure out why I don't like it, despite enjoying the dynamics presented. And I think I've finally figured out why.

It all goes back to the Sirius / Regulus dynamic. I feel like their relationship is depicted as angsty and such but I love it when they are estranged. Yes, they're brothers and they go to the same school, but they are worlds apart. And i like when their friend groups and dynamics reflect that. Regulus, who's stayed with his family and supports their causes (yes I know he gets redeemed eventually but boy used to worship voldy) -- has access to the high pure-blood society and its perks. But one thing he does not have, is the friendship his brother shares with his mates. Reg tells himself that he doesn't care, that he doesn't envy his brother and his friends, but it is one of the things being in this pureblood fascism cult can't offer -- true friendship. That's why, despite my issues with 'choices' by messermoon, I really like how they depicted the dynamic between Regulus and his friends -- like yes Reg had friends but not in the same way Sirius had. And it adds a layer to the loneliness Reg feels, which i feel is a core part of his character. He's surrounded by people that on the outside my appear as friends, but really he's just very lonely.

On another note, i hc both brothers as gay, and love the differences in how they would be presented. Sirius, after finally getting over his internalised homophobia, is free to love and make out with whomever he wants. While Reg, aware of this part of himself hates it, and denies himself this luxury, only getting off (with barty, mayhaps, who is in a similar position) every now and then. Maybe he also has a burning desire for James (if ur into jegulus) but he doesn't ever do anything abt it, coz he feels like he can't.

As for Dorcas Meadows, I picture her in the year above the marauders (so two years above Reg) and not really having any friends at all. Not because she can't make any, but because she simply doesn't want to (my characterisation of her is heavily inspired by rollercoasterwords' version of her in 'the hand that feeds'. She ofc grows close to marlene when they start dating but never really gets close to marlene's other friends. She may or may not have a begrudging relationship with Pandora tho (but only because she provides her weed ofc!!) .

In a way, I kind of like when the houses represent certain themes, like gryffindor v.s. slytherin, freedom v.s tradition, friends v.s. 'co-workers'. Yes i know the fandom likes to depict the houses as more of a personality based system -- which i'm sure that's why jkr intended -- but really i think the houses represent more of values and beliefs. (Which is also why i think the houses should have been destroyed, united or changed at the end of HP DH coz the status quo as it is, is not healthy, but i digress).

Oh and as for the valkyries -- have nothing against their friendship. Lily deserves to have her own set of friends besides James and snape. just think they wouldn't give themselves a name like the marauders did coz they think its cringe, but I can see it coming up and them immediately shutting it down out of embarrassment.

i think this an analysis of snape and his relationship with lily compared to the other slytherins would be interesting as well, and how the interactions and dynamics differ. And canonically, snape and regulus would make more sense than reg and dorcas so if anything snape should be a part of these 'slytherin skittles' lmaoo.
