#maybe remus' actions could be explained w lingering mistrust?

[padfootastic]

I always think it's funny when people claim that the other marauders wouldn't have forgiven Sirius for the 'prank'.

You mean Peter 'the rat' Pettigrew and James 'won't spend an hour a day without being able to talk to sirius' potter??!

no but this!!!

peter is a conniving little bitch who cares for nothing but his perverse self-satisfaction, which he often gets at the expense of others' misery (v bullied kid who turns into a bully vibe going on for our fav rat tbh)

and james?? please. literally one of my biggest turn offs in a fic is when it's shown that james either 'chooses' remus over sirius or punishes sirius by like, not talking to him or something. and this is totally a personal preference ofc, but i just--cant see james withholding love as a form of punishment, not when he accepts sirius unconditionally (and knows thats exactly what his family did)

there's also the very simple matter of--he just fundamentally wouldnt be able to kick sirius to second place in his life ykno? and not for snape, of all things. i also personally hc the prank went much different than the usual fanon and therefore, take it less seriously bc i dont care for the angst it creates so ykno. even less possibility of any sort of long lasting consequences.
