I am begging marauders fans to stop commenting on random people’s non HP/marauders posts and videos on any platform and saying things like “this is so regulus black” or honestly, anything about HP/marauders at all.

Not only does it just come off as annoying, but a lot of people try to avoid HP or anything to do with JKR. Understandably so! They can block tags, block accounts and do their best to filter it out, but when people bring it into comments on things completely unrelated, that makes avoiding it impossible.

Imagine you’re just making a random tiktok and you’re flooded with comments telling you that you look just like regulus black? So you look up who that is just to find it’s a character with no lines in a series written by someone whose full time job lately is hating trans people? (btw this is prompted by a video I watched where this exact thing happened. This poor guys response was “who the hell is regulus black and how am I just like him?”)

Stop it. Please.

Hi! I’m @tuhkasirius, and this beauty right here is my marauders-themed sideblog. You may call me Oliver or Sirius (or a secret third thing, I’m not too fussy).

This blog exists so I have a place to post about my marauders fics as well as rb (or even post if I feel so inclined) good marauders stuff, as I didn’t want to clutter my main blog with that.

If you worship canon, leave now—I think canon is by far the worst part of the marauders fandom and I could not care less for what’s ”canonically true.”

I block and mute liberally and often with no concrete reason. I am a strong believer in being the person in charge of curating an enjoyable social media experience and not coming across stuff I don’t care to see is a part of that.

That being said, there are a few things that are absolute non-negotiables to me and if you disagree, you can fuck right off:

🌟WE DO NOT GIVE MONEY TO JK. DO NOT CONSUME HARRY POTTER IP. TRANS LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FANDOM. DO NOT EVEN HATEWATCH THE HBO SHOW. IGNORE IT ALL.

🌟Fandom is a communal space and fanworks aren’t a product—no one is entitled to them and they should not be criticised without prompting.

🌟Censorship is bad. Fanworks are works of fiction. Tags exist for a reason. Don’t like—don’t read.

🌟Everyone should touch some grass and talk to some real people sometimes. A grip on reality is a truly wonderous thing.

🌟Minors, TERFS & SWERFS & other flavors or bigot, and people who disagree with the above statements DNI

Now, we can get into what I DO like and will therefore possibly post about:

I enjoy a multitude of fics, including but not limited to: Wolfstar, jegulus, bartylus, bitchkiller, rosekiller, moonwater, and any interesting poly dynamics

As you can probably see, my tastes are very mlm-centric, because when I read romance-centric stories, I live vicariously through the characters and I’m a very gay man.

I also looove many of the lesbian ships, including marylily, pandalily, and dorlene, but I’m much less likely to seek them out

If I am god and I am deciding: Sirius is gay and gnc, Remus is bi, Peter is ace and James is pan. Reg’s gay and trans. Lily’s trans.

That being said, I’m so not fussed—as long as I feel like it makes sense in the context, I’m sold.

If a fic is tagged as canon-compliant, I’m so fucking unlikely to read it. I prefer to imagine canon doesn’t exist. I don’t like how no one gets a happy ending and everyone is boring and straight. The marauders have potential but JK hates all that is good and fun in the world.

I’m also unlikely to read something tagged G or T, I’m usually interested in ”adult themes.” Like smut, or graphic trauma recovery, or both. Generally I like my light-toned stuff smutty and my serious stuff gritty and angsty.
