Remus: James have you ever won an argument with Regulus.

James: We never argue. He speaks French and I shut up.

SIRIUS WHY THE FUCK DID U BURN THAT LETTER AND WALK AWAY

SIRIUSSSSSSSSS

"You bastard!" Barty doesn't think twice before throwing himself at the idiot who decided to try and push Pandora around. It's not that Pandora can't take care of herself - she absolutely can - but she also is one of Barty's best friends. And he will stand up for her no matter wha-

"Barty, you already have a detention for fighting, they'll call your father if you fight again now," someone murmurs while draging him away. Regulus. It's Regulus. But isn't he supposed to be on a date with James?

That question is answered to him when he hears a yelp and turns around to find James punching the bastard, twice.

Huh

Maybe Barty does like James after all

okay maybe this isnt something we need to actually talk about but... there needs to be a surge in rosekiller as a main in fics I AM GETTING SICK OF THESE SCRAPS. when i look for the rosekiller tag on ao3 i see so much sunseeker i- kill me now.

the thing i love most about the marauder fandom is that we don't divide characters into good and bad. even negative characters have their own backgrounds and unique stories that make them individual personalities.

i hate canon bellatrix so much because she's presented as a sick psycho without a soul. but i love fanon bellatrix. i don't defend and support her but i understand her. she still does horrible things and killed my favorite character but now she has a backstory and her own traumas, which makes her an interesting character. i can say the same about barty and evan who are some of my favorite fanon characters. in canon there's almost nothing known about them except that they were death eaters and barty suffered from his father's lack of attention. but fanon evan and barty mean the world to me. every character should have a backstory. especially the antagonist. we should see the reasons and the path that led him to these actions.

the marauders fandom is a lot more interesting and fun to be in cause it's full of colors and versatility, fantasies and thoughts that unite a lot of people. there’s also no homophobes here cause fandom based on wolfstar. i mean how homophobia can exist in the fandom of dead gay wizards ? definitely my favorite thing .

remus: finally the flesh reflects the madness within

sirius: well you'd know all about the 😏madness within😏 wouldn't you remus😏😏😏

remus: you know that's not what I meant you dirty minded prick

[ashes-to-ashesxx]

Your eyes are red 'cause you're high, my eyes are red 'cause I just cried over yet another story about fictional dead gay wizards from the 70's. We're not the same.

Regulus, in his first school year being quiet and shy so he doesn't make friends

he was so excited for his first day at school cause his "big" brother was always babbling on about his friends, but he's too shy to talk to ppl. He just wants to see Sirius.

He sits on the swing set alone for the first few weeks. Or at least until the other kids tell him to get up or simply just push him off.

One day, this boy with black hair comes over to him. Regulus is about to get up when speaks. "Why are you leaving? sit back down"

So he does without a word. When a group of four children come over and push Regulus to the ground, the black haired boy starts yelling. "Hey! Leave him alone. We were here first, its our turn! Play somewhere else."

Regulus is shocked when they run away. He gets up and turns to the boy. "I'm Barty!" he says with a mischievous gleam in his eye.

"I'm Reggie." he replies softly.

"you know what I think Reggie?" Regulus shakes his head.

"I think we're the coolest kids in this school."

starting a little series <3 quotes from my friends as marauders textposts;

Barty :This is a lot of angst for a smut story.

Regulus : Please stop talking about my life like that.

[ashes-to-ashesxx]

as someone who has never read atyd I'm confused

is remus dyslexic or did he just never learn how to read because there is a severe difference😭

[ashes-to-ashesxx]

I’m glad that J.K. Rowling has never written about the marauders and that no company has made a marauders film adaptation because 1, it would be boring (and straight) and 2, what’s great about the fandom is that we made the whole thing up. Some names were mentioned once or twice in the book and we gave them full on personalities. Everyone has different opinions on different characters and I think that’s the best part of this.

marauders at a waterpark

wolfstar: is that one couple in the queue for rides (this is sirius's fault)(he cant function when remus is half naked)

sirius "suncream is for suckers" black

dorlene: marlene tries to be that one couple cause it pisses dorcas off

dorcas: just wants to sunbathe

james: James is like a child, buzzing to go on every ride and forces reg to join him

reg: pretends he doesn't enjoy it

barty: drooling over evan all day

evan: teasing barty all day

rosekiller: harassing children ahead of them in line

lily: mothering everyone but also being the hottest one there (shes also complaining about how expensive everything is)

mary: she's sunbathing, doesn't fancy getting wet but then sirius comes over shaking his head like a dog and soaks her

peter: uses excessive suncream yet still manages to be the most burnt

panda: she's just having a good time honestly

Remus Lupin is a sarcastic asshole, Regulus Black is a sarcastic bitch.
