#Barty in fact cried about this

[risetherivermoon]

Barty tried to write anonymous love letters to Evan, (Dorcas suggested it) but the way he expresses himself is so angry that Evan thought he was getting hate mail and started complaining about it to Barty

marauders era characters and their favorite movies

if they lived in the muggle world circa 2024

remus: little miss sunshine brutal and disturbingly human, but intertwined with themes of love, family, support, and healing

james: talladega nights the theme of this movie is that friendship is magic. you know james was saying "if you're not first, you're last" for years after seeing this movie. also he tried to create a shake-and-bake thing with sirius

sirius: howl's moving castle "that howl is so fucking hot" "he literally just looks like you" "exactly" sirius sees himself as this main love interest (howl) and he sees remus as sophie, especially when she's an old woman that howl has to take care of. all he wants to do is take care of remus

peter: bridge to terabithia peter seems like the kind of person to find stories of tragical childhood friendships really compelling. he also loves josh hutcherson (who doesn't)

regulus: the secret life of walter mitty he relates to the main character - a man who is controlled and meticulous but longs to go on an adventure. he also wishes that sirius would pull him out of his monotonous life and into the unknowable but with complete acceptance of who he is.

lily: little women in the way that i feel like i've been shot every time i watch a movie involving complicated mother/daughter relationships, lily would be deeply compelled by stories about sisterhood. especially jo and amy who always feel second to each other

mary: princess mononoke she would relate to the main character and be very enthralled by ashitaka. definitely a comfort watch for her.

marlene: raising arizona or zoolander she loves absurdist comedies with lovable and endearing characters. she is also low-key attracted to nick cage when he was young, but don't tell anyone, it's a secret.

dorcas: arrival or parasite dorcas has unequivocally good movie tastes. she likes high concept stories with heavy thematic writing and devastating plots. she talks about them in detail for weeks afterward

pandora: midsommar and pan's labyrinth she loves movies with comically intense violence. she finds high control groups fascinating. she definitely loves pan's labyrinth because of the freaky monsters and the fact that it sounds like it could belong to her

xenophilius: the twilight saga he knows every detail and loves to examine the story from all sides. he and pandora bond over the fact that carlisle is a joseph smith archetype.

evan: deadpool evan sees deadpool as barty and loves the character because of it. he is also envious of the characters freedom to be himself

barty: the mummy he just thinks that everyone in this movie is really fucking hot

snape: pride and prejudice (2005) finds it super romantic and loves the way characters talk and deliver lines. he listens to the soundtrack as background music while he works.

frank longbottom: spiderman (no way home) no one was more excited than he was when the three spiderman characters interacted. he cried a lot when watching this movie

alice: narnia it was her sexual awakening ;)

narcissa: glass onion she loves a who-done-it story, she reads mystery novels all the time and she thought this one was the most exciting

bellatrix: barbarian or bones and all she watches bones and all like "when is it my turn to be happy?" and she watches barbarian like "what is it like to have a mother who loves you?" everyone thinks she's crazy

lucius: dune or the king he sees himself as the king. that scene where robert pattinson's character is slipping around in the mud and timmy's character is standing there unbothered - that's how lucius pictures himself and arthur weasley. he also thinks of his own family when he watches dune

also this came from a question that @wolfpadx asked in the discord and i just had to elaborate on my thoughts.

[honeybcj]

What’s ur opinion on Trans James Potter?

trans james potter you say? buckle up everyone because i have a lot to say about trans james. he’s soooo dear to me. he’s always on my mind. (honest to god james potter eats away at my mind in the same capacity as barty does i literally have a side blog 👁️👄👁️ peep u all finding out i have another blog……..) anywho! the king of trans james in my most humble opinion belongs to mar ( @messymoony hi love i’m smooching ur noggin ) he writes trans james in a way that makes every nerve in my body feel like it’s on fire while i simultaneously bash my head against a while and sob hysterically because i’ve never loved a man more. i need to protect that man with everything inside me. one thing that i think about a lot is the fact that james is the kind of guy to come out later in his life—his partner is trans, and he’s always been so supportive of the trans community. it’s not until he dives further into the exploration of his own gender identity, after years of being with regulus, when he finally starts putting the pieces together. he’s subtle at first, not really fully expressing himself. he even toys around with different gender expressions and identities whether that be dressing more masc-presenting, getting his first gender-affirming haircut (can confirm he stared at himself in a mirror for half an hour and cried because he felt so good about himself), feeling out they/them pronouns to see if that fits him best, but ultimately he feels most confident in identifying as a man and using he/him pronouns. it’s rocky at first, not because he doesn’t have support. he’s nervous because he’s loved his life one specific way for so long, and there’s a sense of imposter syndrome. it isn’t until one night when he’s spending quality time with reg when he breaks down completely, crying his eyes out because he’s kept his truth hidden for so long. he pours his heart out to reg, softly admitting, “i would prefer it if you use he/him pronouns for me.” reg is all teary-eyed, wrapping james in the tightest hug possible, reassuring him that he is so proud of james for opening up to reg and feeling comfortable enough to be his true, authentic self. to me, it’s really important to see representation for trans people who don’t come out until much later in life. one of my dearest, dearest coworkers always talks about how she wishes her identity was seen more often portrayed in media, and when it comes to james’ character and who he is, it’s so very fitting that he would be the kind of person that doesn’t transition until later in life. (also potentially because my coworker is a james gal as well fjskslla) but overall, trans james potter is my beloved, my dearest and sweetest. i adore him with everything in me.

Headcanons about the Weasley Potters i found on Reddit

That Albus Severus' family were completely accepting of him being in Slytherin, and James would threaten while Lily would hex anyone who said othewise.

-They were also fine with the fact that him and Scorpius Malfoy were best friends, and this was the reason Harry became determined to get on somewhat OK terms with Draco. He succeeded, and the Potter residence is like a second home for Scorpius (not to mention that James is extremely overprotective over him, since he believes him and Albus are meant to be and that he'll get over Rose soon enough).

-Harry cries every year on May 2, and Ginny has to assure him there's nothing he could've done. He couldn't have pulled Fred out of the way, he couldn't have defeated Dolohov so Remus wouldn't have to duel him, he couldn't have kept Tonks at home, he couldn't have caught Lavender when she fell off the balcony or stopped Fenrir from getting to her, he couldn't have made sure Colin had gotten on the train, couldn't have distracted Vodemort and gotten Snape out so he could tell them everything. They both know it's a lie, that he could've done those things, but he didn't know and it breaks both of them.

-For his 11th birthday, James got an owl, and it looked exactly like Hedwig, a bittersweet coincidence. What he didn't know was that it was one of her grandkids, as she had mated with another Snowy Owl in 6th year, seemingly knowing her time was coming. -Albus' ferret is something Harry always reminds Draco of whenever he gets the chance. Albus himself didn't get what was so funny until Scorpius mentioned in passing that his father had been turned into one by Barty Crouch Jr and he nearly spit out his orange juice. -Dean and Seamus adopted a girl when she was two, and she went on to date James. It's somewhat of a tradition to bet which one of them will kiss the Gryffindor seeker, either on a dare or because of their true feelings, and if the other will break a glass afterward. They dated from 4th year up until their marriage, so needless to say, everyone lost.

-Lily's bat-boogey hex is even better then her mother's; some poor boys who were hitting on her found out the hard way, not to mention, to add insult to injury, got a hard lecture from both Potter boy's afterward.

-Harry has seen the Mirror of Erised only once after first year, when it was brought into his Department to get inspected. When he looked into it, he saw himself, his wife, his kids and their friends, as well as his old schoolmates and those who had taken him in he still remembered or kept in touch with. Nothing very unusual. However, it expanded, and he also saw his parent's, and Cedric and Cho happily married, Sirius next to his dad while Remus and Tonks stood with her parent's, including a content Ted behind a smiling Teddy, Mad-Eye with the Weasley's, Fred and George both with their trademark mischievous grins, a blonde girl with a purple headband blowing a kiss, an all-too-familiar camera flash from "the one who should've taken those pictures", a slightly happy? looking Snape with a peaceful Dumbledore next to Ariana and Aberforth, together once again, and above it all, a snowy-white owl, flying high. It was no wonder the other's found him staring into it still, an hour later, a faraway look in his eyes.

an ask from @spacecadette on this game has, i regret to say, made me go feral... the rest of the answers to your questions are coming in the queue but let's dive into the one i thought deserved its own post:

say something about your ships that you want to say!

so... a musing on the five couples i said i'd play this ask game with - and then, for additional fun, some i didn't - on a crucial question:

are they barbie people or oppenheimer people?

answers under the cut:

bellamort: lord voldemort was definitely not traumatised by the second world war and it's ridiculous to suggest otherwise. they're seeing oppenheimer, and bella only has to hold his hand for about half of it.

riddledore: barbie. absolutely no doubt about it.

snack: they were going to go and see oppenheimer but they had an argument which culminated in them fucking over the kitchen table and missed the showing.

snapemort: they do the double, because it's important to be thorough, and they only have three or four arguments on which film to see first.

tomarry: front of the line for barbie. each of them thinks the other is the ken in their relationship.

-

barty crouch jr/voldemort: oppenheimer.

deamus: dean was the art director for barbie. they're at the premiere. seamus reports back to anyone who'll listen that ryan gosling is an angel.

dramione: they do the double. draco thinks both films are about the dangers of mixing with muggles. they break up for the sixth time that month.

drarry: barbie. draco is assumed to be in costume by the staff at the cinema.

dron: they're both hooked on the fourth test and don't leave the house for four days.

fleurmione: omar el zohairy's feathers, followed by barbie.

flonks: barbie, but they spent the entire time making out.

grindeldore: oppenheimer, obviously.

harmony: are a terrible couple who loathe spending time with each other. oppenheimer.

hinny: barbie. james announces, furiously, that this means he can never go to see it now, because harry loved it so much.

jegulus: i don't know her, sorry.

jily: the vhs of when harry met sally they've had since 1991.

linny: indiana jones, which luna thinks is a documentary.

lucissa: 'we've never heard of a cinema and the implication that you saw us watching gentlemen prefer blondes at the curzon last friday is insulting.'

marge dursley/dolores umbridge: neither, they're at a dog show.

minerva mcgonagall/wilhelmina grubby-plank: they're still recovering at their house on mull from the reeling at filius' wedding.

pavender: do you even need to ask?

poppy pomfrey/pomona sprout: barbie.

prongsfoot: mission impossible.

remadora: they do the double, see barbie first, love it, get bored halfway through oppenheimer, get arrested for public indecency.

romione: initially attempting to be cerebral, they go to see asteroid city, despite the fact that ron truly does not fuck with wes anderson. they come back the next day, bicker over popcorn choices, see barbie, and have a wonderful time.

ronarry: barbie, in matching hot pink tracksuits.

scorbus: they were going to see barbie. they forgot.

snarry: severus mysteriously has potions which need finishing whenever there's a showing of either.

snily: after some spectacular arguing, they do the double, oppenheimer first. severus pretends he didn't like barbie more.

snucius: la traviata at the royal opera house, barbie - separately - the following day.

taco: barbie. in this case both draco and tom understand inherently that draco is the ken.

tombraxas: barbie. abraxas thinks the costuming is exquisite. tom just thinks it's nice the colour saturation means you can see the film.

wolfstar: they are on holiday over opening weekend. they see barbie in spanish. remus cries.

[cinnamontoastcrunch-15]

You’re Here

It had been 3 years since Remus’ ex-boyfriend had dropped out of school and joined the Deatheaters, and every single one he took down felt like revenge.

It would be a whole lot easier to pretend he didn’t care if he could just forget about the time they had…

The marauders were worried about Sirius.

Sure, they knew about his home life, but he had always been back after the school holidays. Something had to be wrong, and they didn’t know what.

Until they did.

-

Remus always volunteered for the hardest missions. The ones that put him in the most danger, letting him keep the others safe.

And because every time he took a Deatheater down, it felt like his own personal revenge.

If he had told his 14 year old self that in 6 years he would hate Sirius Black’s guts, he probably would have gotten hexed. Yet, there he was, trying to force his memories of Sirius out of his mind.

It had been 3 years, and he still couldn’t forget the feeling of Sirius’ love. Or, what he thought had been love. 3 years, and he couldn’t get the image of Sirius’ blush out of his head. 3 years, and he was still in love with Sirius Black, the fucking Deatheater, no matter how betrayed and angry he felt.

At least James understood.

They had discussed it a lot, what they would do if they ever ran into Sirius.

Discussing it was definitely not preparation for the real thing.

Remus had been the first to sign on to the Rosier Manor raid, much to Lily and James’ disapproval. It was better if he went, he didn’t have anything to lose. Not that he’d ever say that much to his friends because the one time he had, Lily cried, which was not something he was interested in doing again.

He listened as Moody went through the game plan. Well, half listened, but still. He was just… slightly intimidated as he took in the sheer size of the manor.

It was nice to get back to duelling.

The idea of taking down the Deatheaters one by one was exhilarating as hell, and Remus revelled in the way his adrenaline pounded through him as he shot hexes and curses left and right, keeping a pretty decent shield over himself.

“Lupin, behind!” He heard a shout from one of the Prewett twins and turned to block a curse headed in his direction. It was lazily done, not specifically sent towards him, so it didn’t take much to block it. His hand froze on his way to send out a counter-curse, as he noticed the Deatheater had stopped, staring directly at him with wide eyes.

It had been 6 years, but he hadn’t forgotten those silver eyes, that slightly crooked nose, and that mess of black hair. The light in his eyes had dimmed considerably, but he was still beautiful. So, so fucking beautiful.

“Sirius?” The name tumbled out of his mouth before he could stop himself, ignoring the fact that they were losing Deatheaters every second. He could faintly hear some of his allies shouting to him, but it was like everything else stopped existing to him.

God, he was still gorgeous.

He was a lot thinner, almost alarmingly so, and he had dark bags under his eyes, but he was Sirius. The fact that he was fighting for the wrong side had gone completely forgotten as they stared at one another, Sirius just as taken aback as he was, eyes fixed on Remus.

“You let your guard down, Lupin.” A voice sounded behind him, a shiver running down Remus’ spine.

Shit.

A hand grabbed his wrists, wand having disappeared at some point, as his hands were bound behind his back and he was apparated away.

The last thing he saw before he was promptly knocked out was Sirius’ stunned expression darken.

-

“Oi! Lupin, Potter! I heard your best friend is one with the Dark Lord himself, now!” Barty Crouch Jr’s snide voice rang out from the Slytherin table, and Remus’ heart sunk.

No.

There was no fucking chance.

“-torture him for information, then kill him? Is he really that useful?” Remus’ head was throbbing, eyes still shut, unmoving, as he tried to get his bearings and listen immediately after waking up, which was not fucking easy.

“He’s on Dumbledore’s little inner circle, if he’s in a raid like that. He has to know something useful.” He finally forced his eyes open, lifting his head.

“Oh, he’s up. Morning, Lupin.” Barty fucking Crouch Jr. Of course. He was rolling up his sleeves, pulling his wand out with a twisted smile. “Alright, this is going to be fun-“

“I’m going first.” Sirius interrupted, and Remus turned to him with a glare.

“What the fuck? I’m the one who caught him!”

“And I’m the one who was forced to room with those fuckwits for six and a half years! Besides, don’t you think it’ll be better for him to look his ex in the eye?” His eyes met Barty’s with a malicious glint in them that Remus didn’t even recognise. He thought his heart had broken 3 years ago, but apparently not, because it was definitely shattering. He was almost surprised the Deatheaters couldn’t hear it.

“…fine. But don’t finish him off, I’m having a fucking turn.” He grumbled, sounding so childish that Remus almost wanted to laugh at his tantrum.

Almost.

Sirius turned and locked the door with a flick of his wand, before throwing a silencing charm around the room.

“Why did you do that?”

“Because last time I didn’t, Mulciber barged in and demanded a turn. I’m not having that happen again.” Sirius answered, eyes still fixed on Remus.

“Fair.”

Sirius lifted his wand, Remus never once moving his gaze from him.

“Avada kedavra.”

Remus watched as Barty slumped to the ground, eyes widening at the fact that Sirius’ hand was shaking. He had killed Barty. Remus was alive, untouched, okay. Sirius pulled Remus’ wand from his pocket, before crouching in front of him.

“Moony, are you alright? Are you hurt?” There was a hand on his cheek, Sirius’ hand, as Sirius surveyed him carefully.

“No, I’m- I’m fine. What-“

“Come on, there’s a way out the back.”

“Wait, what’s going on? I thought you were- that you had…” he trailed off helplessly as Sirius walked behind him and freed him.

“Okay, so Dumbledore told none of you, of fucking course. He approached me 2 years ago, asked me to spy, keep his lot safe. Let’s go.” He offered Remus his hand, watching silently as Remus hesitated. He went over the possibilities in his head. Sirius was lying and was ready to take him straight to the Dark Lord, Sirius was telling the truth, but got them both killed anyway (which was a very Sirius thing to do), or that he was telling the truth and Remus was safe.

Despite the fact that it had been 3 years, the instinct that told him to trust Sirius still hadn’t gone. If anything, it was fighting louder to be heard, screaming and kicking until he listened.

So he took his hand.

Sirius smiled softly at him, and Remus could swear he saw a spark of the old glint in his eyes. It was enough to make Remus weak in the knees (still), but at least he could blame it on having been knocked out and tied to a chair.

Sirius led him carefully out a hidden door, the two of them stepping carefully and quietly, Sirius giving Remus his wand back as they walked.

“Hey, Black, what the fuck are you doing?!” A voice rang out.

Sirius froze.

“Shit. Run!” He started sprinting, dragging Remus with him as he sent out as many curses as he physically could, Remus throwing a protective spell over the two of them. “We’re almost out of the anti-apparation zone!” He explained as he shoved a door open, the daylight stinging Remus’ eyes as Sirius apparated, the two of them vanishing from sight.

-

Hope was at a loss as she watched her son fall apart in her arms.

“I hate him- I fucking hate him- I should hate him- Why the hell do I still love him?” The words came out in between stuttered breaths, sobbing into Hope as she moved her hand soothingly up and down Remus’ back. It wasn’t just heartbreak. It was like Sirius had silently, secretly, stolen Remus’ heart and set it on fire, burning slow and painful in his chest as he disappeared without a word.

-

Sirius knew it had to be a confusing sight, a known Deatheater from a high status family walking into the Order’s safe space with one of their most trusted members.

James saw him first, as Sirius’ heart gave a painful tug.

James.

He was frozen, stunned, as Marlene stood, wand raised.

“Let him go.” Her voice was low, dangerous, as Sirius immediately released Remus and dropped his wand. He raised both of his hands, not knowing how the fuck to explain what was going on to the room of people who hated him.

Thankfully, he didn’t have to.

“Listen, I’m not-“

“Black?” Alastor Moody. Sirius kept his gaze fixed on Marlene, not moving in case she took it as a threat, rightfully so, and shot a curse at him.

“Wotcher, Moody.”

“What are you doing here?”

“About that. I may have… accidentally blown my cover.” Sirius could feel Remus’ eyes on him, and he hoped his face didn’t turn red as easily as it used to, because he could feel it heating up.

“What the fuck, Sirius?! We need someone on the inside!”

“Please, I know you have more than just me in there.” He shot back. “They were going to kill Remus, and I couldn’t talk them into letting him go. I got as far as only torturing him, but I wasn’t going to get him any safer than that without blowing my cover.” He said simply, and it was like Remus’ gaze only intensified. Fucking hell, he loved him so much.

“Black,” Moody started, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You have killed people for the cause, but one of your friends getting a little hurt makes you quit?”

“Yes.” He answered immediately. “Because my friends have spent 3 years hating me, and I’ve spent 3 years knowing that they hate me. I wasn’t going to let the only man I’ve ever loved die hating me, or any of my friends think I killed him! Especially if I could fucking stop it!” Moody was stunned into silence, as Sirius realised what he had said.

Remus had spent years hating him, he must have, and here he was confessing his love for him! Great. Just fucking perfect.

“Dumbledore can rip me apart if he really wants to.” He mumbled, as he noticed Remus take a step closer to him. It wasn’t exactly easy to hold on to his train of thought anymore. “But I wasn’t going to, uh, to let them, you know, so…”

“Padfoot.” Remus’ voice was half a whisper, half a sob, as Sirius finally, finally turned and met his eyes. Those beautiful, lovely, amazing amber eyes.

Before he had a chance to speak, Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius, holding him like he was worried that he would disappear if he didn’t. Sirius wondered if their hearts still spoke the same language that they had before, an effortless blend of the two of them. He hoped to Merlin that Remus could hear his heart keening, gravitating towards him, beating a constant ‘you’re here, hi, I missed you so much, I love you.’

He was probably speaking them, too, as he buried his face in Remus’ collarbone, feeling Remus press a kiss to the top of his head.

“I- I wanted to think you’d never, but-“

“Hey, hey, it’s okay, darling. I know.” Sirius interrupted. “Anyway, I’m here now, aren’t I?” Remus pulled away and nodded, amazed.

“Yeah. You’re here.” There was a small smile on his face as he slowly, carefully, connected their lips in a very short kiss. Almost immediately after he pulled away, Sirius felt another pair of arms around him.

James.

Oh, he had missed his friends.

There had been so many times that he had felt inhuman over the three years with the Deatheaters, where he worried that he could never be the same, once the war was over.

As he looked at his friends, at Remus watching him with that perfect smile, eyes shining, he knew that it was okay.

He was finally okay.

Congratulations on reducing the difficulty setting of life!

And to hop on the drunk!Regulus and drunk!Barty train, obviously you've clarified what Regulus is like when Barty's around (aggressive affection initiated) but when Barty's absent does he: resort to gushing about Barty to the nearest available alas-not-Barty-person, anxiously/piningly fret over the fact that Barty-is-gone I-must-find-Barty ("He needs to know how great he is!" Regulus cries, keeling over without the balance needed to properly walk away from walls on his grand search) or else determinedly go forth to fix this terrible mistake of parting from Barty in the first place? If need be mix and match at your leisure.

No need to reply quickly or at all of course, particularly if your balancing of time and energy would be better off for it.

thank you!!!

regulus's aggressive affection isn't necessarily limited to barty, which is part of what makes it SO weird for other people to witness him when he's drunk - like, emma is just minding her own business and then regulus descends upon her like 'YOU'RE SO GOOD AT KEEPING THE TEAM MOTIVATED AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO BE CAPTAIN NEXT YEAR AND I'M SORRY MY TRANSFIGURATION NOTES WERE HARD TO READ THAT ONE TIME YOU DESERVED BETTER WHAT KIND OF PLANTS ARE YOUR FAVORITE I'LL GET YOU TWELVE'

that being said. if anyone pOINTS OUT that barty is not present, or if regulus himself realizes (he was about to tell barty how great he is but... but WHERE IS BARTY???), suddenly all of regulus's priorities swing dramatically towards 'i must go on an Epic Quest to Find My Barty, We Cannot Be Parted For One Second More'

anyone who tries to go with him on this quest (to make sure he doesn't like, fall down the stairs and die) will be treated to a long, rambly monologue about barty that ranges from 'he's so amazing and wonderful he changed my life' to 'i miss him so much😭' to 'WHY ISN'T HE HERE HE COULD BE IN TROUBLE' all the way back around to how amazing he is

❤️❤️❤️

🔥 ??

This ask game

On a completely unrelated note

Anyone on marauders TikTok at this point I simply do not trust. I don’t like your vibe. Your existence irritates me and I can’t wait for life to knock u off your high horse a bit. Not like a lot, but enough to make you bearable to share the planet with.

People have taken the marauders fandom way too far and way too seriously and I think it should all just burn down.

Erase it all. Give it 5 years to cool off.

Also snape is not that bad?? Yall are fucking CRAZY in your hating him but hyping up Barty. Crazy. Insane. “He bullied children” well your guy tortured Frank and Alice longbottom and fucking killed people for the sake of blood purity. Therefore I challenge you to come up with a legitimate excuse and not some random fictional morale code?? Like why is that the line. Why is that your reason. “He bullied children” for gods sake do you hear yourself??

At least be creative jfc.

I think there’s a lot of nuance to Snapes story, especially with aspects of class, privilege, gender (being a white male vulnerable to extremist ideology due to upbringing and life experiences)

ALSO ITS FICTION

It’s fucking fiction. I say where the story is interesting because it’s MY blog.

Anyways this will probably be my last ever marauders post so I’m going out with a bang.

The reason there’s so many male fics is because creating characters from just a name is hard and not really in the nature of fanfiction and the only marauders era fleshed out characters are Sirius black and Remus Lupin because they’re the only ones in the Harry Potter books.

Like what yall have done creating depth in all these side characters is truly phenomenal but ohmygod the way you attack people so quickly for just writing m/m ships in this space where the only canon fleshed out characters are the men is INSANE. Thats literally what brought them here. You’re the weird one. And be weirder!’ Be weirder enough to write the W/W fanfiction with those little one fact character skeletons. I support you this is the place for that!! Stop being mean to other people and show some initiative or I will fucking fire you. With actual flames.

ALSO let people make fan films, don’t let people make fan films. Maybe it’s a scam, maybe it’s being written by criminals from their prison cells. Maybe it’s just people out here trying to do a group project like this is school. Stop. Caring. It’s none of your business.

I have never cared for cosplay, you do you boo but it’s not my thing. I do think it’s fucked up when you treat them like the character though and mess with their lives as human beings. Maybe try being normal, or pursuing a career in becoming a shitty therapist because you seem to care a whole lot about other peoples business.

Read fics because you like the summery or because you found it at 2 am in a comment section or ao3s page. Dont read fics because it’s “the it fic” right now. That’s bordering way too close to fast fashion trends and that is not allowed here. You are breaking the non-capitalist rules of our weird nerd hub.

You are not going to like the hyped up TikTok book.

Let that philosophy apply here.

Also This is not a book. It is a fanfic. Treat it like someone brought home made cookies to your doorstep. If you bite it and spit it in their face because you forgot to tell them you had a nut allergy or you wanted brownies instead it is your bad. You should have asked about the nuts, and you should say THANK YOU YOU MADE ME COOKIES.

Anyways goodbye forever marauders fandom it was fun I love all you silly little characters. I made lifelong friends, I laughed I cried I puked in my mouth a little (—meg from supernatural) but mostly you made me realize how fucking stupid it all is and fear for our future as a civilization.

Narcissa loved Regulus like he was her own brother, she cared for him more than anyone else would. She was heartbroken when he was dragged into the deatheaters, but she took care of him.

When others cast him aside, his parents, his brother, James... Narcissa was there to pick up the pieces. Regulus had his friends too, Evan and Barty. But his bond with Narcissa was stronger.

Narcissa loved him because she knew how it was to be the youngest, the one who had all of the pressure to succeed after the child before failed their family. After they escaped. She knew about the heartbreak of losing a lover because of choices you made against your will, of not being able to explain before it was too late.

When Regulus died, Narcissa didn't know what to do. She knew it was inevitable, that not everyone would survive this war. But why Regulus? Why her little star? She was heartbroken.

A year later, Evan Rosier dies at the hands of an auror. Narcissa was sad, that another child dragged into a war was killed far too early. But it got worse, when she walked down the hall at a deatheater meeting, and saw Barty Crouch Jr. sobbing, crouched down with his head between his knees.

They spoke for a while, and Narcissa learned what happened. He didn't die from the killing curse, he was shot with crucio. His body had been so weak, Barty had told her that he didn't do well after Regulus' death. That he was so weak that he died from the pain. But, he fought in the end. He had been on the ground, fighting for his life, and he had shot a curse at the Auror's eye. Evan had fought, and he had died in Barty's arms.

Narcissa let him talk, let him rant. She sat with him, let him rest his head on her shoulder. Like she used to do with Regulus. Barty talked and talked. He told her how much he loved Evan, how he always did. How he had once loved Regulus too, and he couldn't bare it. He couldn't bare the fact they were gone.

And Narcissa had been there for him.

After a while, Barty and Narcissa start talking frequently. Barty coming to her when he feels that overwhelming panic coming back, when the thoughts of doing things that he'd regret flood him.

So Narcissa isn't surprised when she finds him outside of Malfoy Manor. He looked nervous, scared. She invited him inside and he told her the story, of what happened. Of what her older sister and brother in law had dragged Barty into.

Barty said he didn't know how to think. Because he knew that it is what he was supposed to do for the dark lord. Narcissa stared at him, she didn't know what to say, how to act.

She decided, then and there. Barty was still barely an adult. 19 years old, malnourished and tired. Barty was always a bit twitchy but it was even worse now. He was scarred and he had scratches along his dark mark. Just like Regulus.

He was too young to be blamed. Narcissa was heartbroken and she cried for her, for the love of her life. But Barty wasn't at fault. He couldn't have been.

Not with that look on his face, she could see him trying to hide it. His guilt. He tried to get up and leave but Narcissa made him stay the night.

She let him meet Draco, the small baby he is. Barty had stared, almost empty. He and mumbled the words, but Narcissa heard him. 'They had a baby too. He cried the whole time.'

That was the last time she had seen Barty as something closer to himself. The next time she would see him, he was only but a withering shell of the scared young boy he used to be.

TRICK OR TREAT 🤭👀👻

SYD <3 MY LOVE <3 obviously i'm giving u iwtywmm content bc like i said that whole au is for u. but since i already sent u a snippet today i'm gonna share some silly facts with u <3

peter is the first one who finds out (as we all already know) but the one who actually catches them is remus !!

despite peter being the first one to find out on his own, the ones who actually first hear about this are barty and evan bc reg called them as soon as he woke up the next morning (barty laughed so hard he cried)

sirius not only does find out about jeggy before james or reg can tell him BUT he also finds out about reg calling james daddy in bed 😭

reg works at a bowling alley (i'm projecting bc this way i feel less lonely in my suffering) (he absolutely hates it) and james is the marketing and sales director of a publishing company <3

james fell in love with reg as soon as he saw him and it was never just sex for him, not even the first time (it isn't just sex for reg either but he does live in denial for a little while as a way to protect himself)

you'll see this during the series but they never have a proper convo about being a couple, it simply reaches a point in which it's clear that the relationship they have isn't just physical anymore (never was really). one day james refers to reg as his boyfriend and there's that (reg panics so hard about this but he's so fucking happy he just . goes along with it . if james says they're bfs then they are)

james DOES get to rub it on rabastan's face hehe

POV: Pandora is the first one to find Barty after he used the crusiatus curse on Alice and Frank Longbottom

“They’re DEAD, Panda!” Barty cried, his shaking hands pulling trough his hair. “Don’t you get it?! Reggie? Evan? They are all dead, and we will never see them again! They were killed because they belonged to the wrong group. Not because of what they’ve actually done, but for being born in the wrong circles, the wrong family.” 

Pandora stared back at him, lip trembling as tears streamed down her face. “Barty” she whispered, helplessly reaching out for her friend. Her friend who had done something unthinkable. Something she couldn’t even think about without being sick to her stomach. Barty took a step away from her, shaking his head, eyes wide with madness.

“Why can’t I do the same?! What is the difference? The Longbottoms belonged to the people who killed OUR Evan, MY-“, his voice broke and the tears that had been filling up in his eyes finally overflowed down his cheeks. “My Ev” He whispered out through gritted teeth.  He looked up at Pandora, his manic gaze almost pleading. “What is the difference Panda? Why isn’t Madeye going to Azkaban? Why is NO ONE held responsible for Evan’s death? For Reggie’s? 

Was that okay? I don’t write very often so I’m sorry if it was shit.

I am a Barty Crouch Jr apologist in my core, and I will defend him with my body and soul. You cannot tell me that Barty´s reaction was completely crazy. Like I know for a fact that a certain Sirius Black would’ve gone just as mad as Barty if it was Remus who had died. In fact, I am sure he would’ve reacted the same way when James died if his friends weren’t there to stop and take care of him, something Barty didn’t have since all the people he cared about were dead. 

My heart and soul breaks for the fate of Rosekiller, bc I genuinely think that it’s one of the saddest ships. 

[prongsiess]

My friend sent me a tiktok about the soldier, poet, king trend and how she cried when she read the description of king, but the description was put onto an aesthetic tiktok with a bunch of pictures that represent the king archetype. I started watching that 10 seconds video, having a bunch of meaningful thoughts to respond to her with, and then about 7 seconds in I see a blond guy with a really cute smile leaning into a picture and all my smarts leave my brain and that one (1) leftover braincell screamed "IT’S EVAN". And so, logically, I rewatched it to confirm that I had, in fact, seen Hugh Laughton Scott, and I had! So I sat there and giggled for a bit them remembered I was meant to be responding to my friend. Anywho, all those meaningful, insightful thoughts didn’t come back so instead I told her that Evan Rosier was in the video, aka Barty’s bf, aka Pandora’s cousin, aka the Slytherin Skittles’ mom friend and that I found it fitting.

HELLO MY MOON!!

im here to talk about bitchkiller vs. bartylus and why bitchkiller is a much healthier relationship.

(this isnt bartylus slander btw)

okay one of the main differences in bartylus compared to bitchkiller, is communication.

both barty and regulus are not vocal with how they are feeling, and dont express what makes them upset, causing them to blow up over time due to bottling all of their issues and not speaking of them.

WHERE AS BARTY AND SIRIUS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. i do agree that sirius has difficultys expressing how hes feeling, but he does express when hes angry and hurt. so it would make the relationship a lot healthier because sirius is capable of showing barty what angers him, saddens him or just generally upsets him.

i also believe that sirius would help barty crack out of his shell and show him how hes feeling, where as regulus doesnt know how to express feelings so he wouldnt know what to do or say even if barty showed him how he was feeling.

another point

i feel like there would always be a barrier between regulus and barty, because they were friends prior relationship. like they would be too scared to show affection towards eachothers because they were worried that if they ever split, so would their friendship??

but with sirius and barty, there would be no barriers because if they ever break up, there would be no friendship to salvage. they would be able to show their appreciation and show eachother proper affection. they wouldnt need to fear the thought of their friendship because of breaking up, because there was no friendship?? they would be able to love eachother without thinking they are loving their friend, do u know what i mean??

sorry that was rlly long (like my diq lmao)

okay i js wanted someone to talk to about this.

HELLO MY STAR

I had to put on my glasses for this

(I’m all for bartylus slander so idm either way)

I think that both ships would have very toxic fights?? Bartylus because regulus is very passive aggressive and I don’t think he’d hesitate to bring up topics he knows will hurt barty. Bitchkiller would have more screaming matches though

I can imagine one of either barty or sirius going to slap the other in an argument (w no actual contact, he realised before that) and just broke down and cried :(

Idk I feel like regulus would be too much of a wuss to confess to barty, and barty is just oblivious when it comes to feelings. He’d be like “but in a bro way??” And Evan would want to stab him in his sleep. There’s also the fact that they could be scared to fight, cause they think that one fight will mean the end of their entire relationship (platonic and romantic) so when they eventually fight, it would be really explosive

sirius & barty also don’t have mutual friends (other than reg but I’m not counting him in a canon setting) so they wouldn’t feel pressured by mutual friends to stay together. There’s none of the “but if we break up, what will happen to our group??” And they’re just in love For Them And No One Else

lot less pressure

I enjoyed it (ofc)

always happy to help

The Americans* are awake so I’m off to have my character slandered 🥰

---- BIOGRAPHY  , i'll bite the hand that feeds me .

Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Junior, the high gem of the Crouch family, was born during a thunderstorm.

Outside of the walls of the manor the sky cried, poured acid down onto the poor little ants and growled with the terror of having to welcome into the Earth a little creature with cruel eyes and something really similar to… A tail? 

(It was later found that Bartemius had a very rare congenital anomaly. The tail was removed and Bartemius Sr. threw it out. Barty seemed to think the fact he couldn’t keep his tail messed him up for life.)

He made his way through childhood with a loving mother, dedicated father and a house full of tiny little house elves who obeyed his every babble. But, Bartemius had, well, behavioral problems.

For one, he kept setting fires around the yard. It started with insects burned under a magnifying glass, grew into more and more objects until he tried to set fire to his grandmother’s couch. It was then that his every move began to be watched. And Bartemius didn’t like that.

So he learned to disappear behind columns, to walk without making any sound. Perfected through the years, he became a tiny ghost, running without ever being seen, keeping secrets behind a mocking grin.

Being a spy is only fun when you’re eleven and bored. Once you turn fourteen and pops seems to be busy with way more than a secret cause, things get much more complicated.

It started with a feeling in his stomach, a sensation that told him his old man was spending way more time than necessary at the Ministry. It ended up with two families being taken care of by a single man, being hid by one man. Well, two, once Barty caught up.

And it was easy to use it against old man Bartemius. Gifts got more expensive, friends got to stay over for much more than a single weekend during the summer, the talks of the mark got dropped indefinitely. Control did Bartemius Jr. so good he almost looked like his dad under a certain light. 

But the thing about control is, once you have it you do anything to maintain it. It was worse than fame, worse than money. He needed it, he needed to have it over everything and anything. His friends, his schoolwork, the way socks were arranged. The way his father responded to him, the house elves. There was nothing he was able to let go of.

And as all titans, he was bound to fail.

His last year at school hit as a motherfucking forest fire. His father’s second family was found dead after a dark mark appeared in the sky, something Barty feared would happen sooner or later (Hopefully later than sooner). Then, as if one thread could undo everything he built, his friends were suddenly too involved with the Dark Lord to care about his new toys, new books, new personality. It wasn’t funny anymore, the world turned their eyes away from him.

All he wanted, all he longed for, he had. He was, officially, a ghost.

Daddy didn’t care once he got the mark. It didn’t matter anymore, their side had enough soldiers. He fought too hard, for too long, so much that no one moved once he gave in. So, there he was, at the bottom of the food chain, his name not mattering for shit.

He couldn’t take that.

It took a while, months of preparation, days and days of taking in every inch and making it a mile. It took him everything he had. But once he began to fly the sun didn’t even feel that hot.

The Dark Lord was especially impressed by the kamikaze they had stored in the back, one that was willing to go out and spread his word with the force of explosions around London that destroyed a small fraction of the Order’s headquarters. 

So, without anyone’s help, he was beginning to take what was his back. No help from Sr., no help from his friends from way back when.

Just a ghost, coming back from the dead, borderlines forgotten in a blaze of glory.

[avesgraveyard]

Avery, oh my god I think I have a love-hate relationship with this chapter like I love it but I cried through most of it and it frickin hurt 

(I think I need to stop relating so much to Evan lolll-)

I cried through like the first fourth or third or this and then I was like oh maybe things are getting better but NO back to tears

DORCAS I LOVE HER SM I WANT HER SHES JUST SO WHOLESOME AND KIND AND I CANT WAIT FOR THE DORLENE CHAPTER DORCAS MAKES ME FEEL THINGS

“Me and Barty? Talk about feelings? Our feelings? Yeah, that’ll work out.” me with literally everyone ever lolll

Evans getting so frustrated and worked up over this and it hurts so much WHY Avery why do you have have to make me FEEL THESE THINGS 

“This being the monumentally huge crush I’ve had on my best friend for– what– years now? The one I thought I had under control?”😭😭😭

stupid pretty Italian boys and their wicked heart-stealing ways.                                     This whole thing made me cry so much but this made me laugh for some reason-

But poor Evan baby oh my god how he’s loved Evan for years and Barty never noticed him like that and that’s fine or whatever sad but okay

But then Evan felt like if he did all THAT to himself it would Barty love him baby no and that no one noticed for awhile until Dorcas but then how she helps him through it and Reggie when noticed god these friends make me so soft but that Barty didn’t really notice or didn’t seem too 😭😭😭😭😭 

No, Evan. I think it makes you human.” DORCASSSS

Okayyyy Barty needs to be careful with ev like I get why ur mad but be carefulll but I guess he kinda does deserve to be angry to an extent bc like he just realized he’s in love with Evan??? And then he ran off but evan kinda did too but also evan almost kissed him??? How’s Barty supposed to take that???

Lolll evan one paragraph he’s actually kinda scared and then the next- hmmmm Barty needs a haircut 

if Regulus was single– noooooooooooo

Evan making valid points tryna protect himself but he also just hurting them both 

“ Please , Evan, just one. I’ll make it good for you, promise.”😢

Barty switched so fast from SCREW YOU LETS TALK to we should kiss 😏

and ev’s running again….. 

When he punches Pandora plsssss

I thought you were– like fucking robbing me or something. EVANNNN

Marlene. Ring so cheerful not even noticing pandoras gushing blood at firstttt

“Subtle, James,” like always!!!

Silence. Evan looks up. Not one person is looking him in the eye, in fact, they’re all looking at his chest. Evan glances down. He can’t see anything. He glances back up. No one's eyes have moved.

“What? Have I got something on me?” He looks back down, then up again.

Barty is the first one to break the silence, standing in the corner of the room, with his arms folded over his bare chest, a pair of sweat pants hung low on his hips, a lethal smirk and a hungry glint in his eyes. Evan doesn’t think he can handle any of this at this time in the morning. Or ever, for that matter. “No, baby, there’s nothing there. You’ve just got a nice… physique, is all. We’re just appreciating it in all of its shirtless glory.”

okay first of all I SCREECHED and that Evan not even realizing but then Barty being soooo taunting he’s going to get what he wants and he knows it- 

but the implication that evans doing so much better physically at least maybe then he was seventeen/eighteen yesssss

Silence. Evan looks up. Not one person is looking him in the eye, in fact, they’re all looking at his chest. Evan glances down. He can’t see anything. He glances back up. No one's eyes have moved.

“What? Have I got something on me?” He looks back down, then up again.

Barty is the first one to break the silence, standing in the corner of the room, with his arms folded over his bare chest, a pair of sweat pants hung low on his hips, a lethal smirk and a hungry glint in his eyes. Evan doesn’t think he can handle any of this at this time in the morning. Or ever, for that matter. “No, baby, there’s nothing there. You’ve just got a nice… physique, is all. We’re just appreciating it in all of its shirtless glory.”

Sure enough, Regulus’ gaze is raking approvingly over Evan’s torso, Marlene is grinning at him like she’s a shark and he’s her next meal, and James actually has a string of drool coming down from the corner of his mouth, concern for Pandora apparently forgotten. Evan suddenly has the urge to reach for the throw on the back of the sofa and wrap it around himself securely. Is he ashamed of his body? No, of course not. He’s worked hard to get like this, and he’s overcome a lot of things, physically and mentally, but the way Barty is currently looking at him makes him feel, well– a bit indecent. 

AHHH THE REACTIONS OF EVERYONEEEE 

(And then bartyyyyyy)

“Evan, you actually ran away when I tried to get you to have a chat about your feelings. Evidently, conversation won’t work. But that’s okay baby, I’ve got other methods. We’ll work it out eventually.” Okay then Barty ….

WONDERFUL as usual, Avery, you really know how to get me right in the feels and even though I cried half the time I loved this so much. Dorcas and evans relationship is so awesome and I love them Pandora oh my gosh I love her and I can’t wait to see how Barty tries to get Evan bc it’s going to be hilarious and it’s also going to hurt lol 

ily, thank you so much!!!

dude this is so nice of you actually teared up,

this chapter was a mess, acsolutley 100% a brain malfunction on a page. but it was probably the easiest chapter to write. evan and dorcas' relationship was SO important in this, because Barty? Barty has Evan for when things get rough, and Pandora, and Regulus. And while, yes, evan also has barty, there are just some things he cannot tell him. so he goes to dorcas, like an older sister- younger brother relationship.

i get that after we hear evans story we're all kinda pissed at barty for being so brash about things, but he DOESNT KNOW. i just love writing their emtions, they're so much fun.

i so appreciate this you have no idea <333

[otrtbs]

here is my little head canon’s for the characters in art heist baby! to distract me from the upcoming MCD’s. I hope you enjoy!

James: wanted to be an astronaut when he was younger because he saw a photograph of one. will always drink/eat whatever he was given, even if it was gross because he didn’t want to be rude. fell in love once during school for a boy who would never love him the same way.

Regulus: has a peanut allergy but will take that to the grave. kept all the photos sirius took and he takes them out occasionally and cries to himself. loves cats. he always wished his parents taught him to paint rather than steal art.

Sirius: i feel like he would really like dinosaurs as a kid and even now he’d read about them. loves toast. I can’t explain it. but he loves toast. has a seafood allergy but still loves seafood. loves the colour red.

Remus: always wore his dad’s jumpers as a kid because as a baby they’d use them for his blankets and he didn’t want to use anything else. wants to get a University education because that’s what he strives for and to also save up to give his parents a better life. loves the colour brown and disagrees with anyone who says it’s boring.

Lily: loves apples and making things with apples. wanted to be an artist because it was the one thing Petunia didn’t like doing and Lily knew that Petunia wouldn’t try to upstage her. loves dresses and overalls!! loves the beach but only the ones in France and Italy where the shore is rocks instead of sand!

Mary: grew up in a big family so painting was her way to escape from the noise. she always gave her paintings away as gifts because that was her love language. whenever she visits home, she always cooks with her mum. that’s probably the one thing that she will miss.

Marlene: didn’t grow up in a great neighbourhood which is why she was so good at slight of hand and why she had a passion to steal things. though she still wanted to make it out of that town. never thought she’d love anyone before Dorcas. loves honey on bread. loves honey so much she named her pet rabbit honey. always loved braiding her hair and just others in general.

Dorcas: grew up with no siblings which is why she loves this group so damn much. wanted to go into fashion before she took a computer class in school and fell in love with computers and hacking. though she still practices fashion now. always wears gold jewellery because that’s what her mother wore and she loves her mum.

Peter: mumma’s boy, but in a good way. he has no issues with his dad, but he just gravitates to his mum. his best friend broke their arm while they were playing and Peter didn’t like the fact that he couldn’t help. which is why he went into medicine so he could help. has a little sister who he loves more than words could say. his sister and mum are the two people he’ll miss most in the world

Barty: he only likes being called Bartemius by Evan and Regulus because those are the two people he loves most. was a mumma’s boy but only because his dad didn’t like him. he’d always love his mum. Evan is the first and only boy he’ll fall in love with. loves the colour green, but only dark green. loves coffee over tea but will only drink tea if Evan makes it

Evan: grew up with just him and his mum so he was a little lonely as a kid. Barty was his first friend because he didn’t seem hyper and loud like the other kids were. really liked doing math as a subject. even now he’s super good at maths. loves bananas. loves his mum’s cooking.

this,,, all of this is so sweet and so cute I am tearing UP

regulus wanting to paint instead of steal 😭😭 Lily loving apples >>> YEAH YEAH

this is so so lovely and sweet ahhh <33333 I enjoyed this so much!! and I will be reading it 19371 times over <33
