[rosekiller-addict]

okay but Barty Crouch Jr who originally supported his dad. Barty Crouch Jr. who was horrified when he got put in Slytherin. Barty Crouch Jr. who was even more horrified when he found out he would be sharing a dorm with children of death eaters. Barty Crouch Jr. who didn't know that the emotional and physical abuse he was going through at home was n't normal. Barty Crouch Jr. who stayed up at night wondering why he wasn't put in ravenclaw. Barty Crouch Jr. who hated himself for not being good enough for Ravenclaw. Barty Crouch Jr. whos dad encouraged that self hatred. Barty Crouch Jr. who didn't eat or sleep so he could study so he could get good grades becaude he wasn't good at anything else. Barty Crouch Jr. who played quiddich even though he hated it.

Barty Crouch Jr. who was a "good kid"

a/n: very short one, but thought it too cute not to post

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐧: Love | Honey

More traditional and mature with his choice of nicknames. Remus is a bit more withdrawn/introverted compared to the other Marauders. He doesn’t want to be obnoxious (he thinks people who use ‘babe’ are definitely obnoxious). He wants to call you pet names that feel genuine and true. He loves you a lot and ‘love’ is quite a British nickname, so he’s used to hearing it. But he calls you ‘honey’ because that’s what his parents would call each other. And his parents were deeply in love. 

𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫: Sweetheart | Light of My Life | Pumpkin | Honey-bun

Depending on James’ mood, he can get very creative with his nicknames. And yes, he does incorporate food... his choice of pet names reflects his personality; outgoing, unique and sometimes ridiculous. But he uses these nicknames unironically. He genuinely sees you as the light in his life, the reason for his excitement and happiness. 

𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤: Beautiful | Gorgeous | Handsome | Darling

Very teasing and light-hearted with his pet names - they’re supposed to make you blush, and be a confidence booster. One thing that Sirius has noticed about you is a lack in confidence and self-esteem. So he tries his best to make you feel better about yourself. To make you see yourself how he sees you. Because you are a goddess/god in his eyes.

People have the audacity to say they weren't fucking.

[give-me-a-username-plz]

don’t let marauders fans find out there’s a canonized catholic saint called Saint Regulus and he died at sea

[probs-reading]

James once lost his glasses and when he went to kiss his beautiful boyfriend he ended up kissing said boyfriend's brother. Remus was extremely nonchalant, Sirius was freaking out ("Moony I promise it meant NOTHING" "Pads I fucking know") and Regulus almost murdered both James and his brother. He also refused to kiss James until he brushed his teeth for 5 minutes straight while he was staring daggers at him, because "I'm not kissing lips that have previously KISSED MY BROTHER that's basically an indirect kiss and this family isnt about the incest anymore". James almost cried

[that-bitch-kat3]

walburga: you’re not good enough for my son

remus: you’re not good enough for your son

walburga: excuse me?

remus: you heard me.

[marauderstars]

I love Regulus with the whole “I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know it was I who discovered your secret” thing. Like yes, I too couldn’t bear the thought of not getting credit for doing iconic shit even after my death.

[propussyslayer]

sirius: so what do you do for a living

remus: i hunt and kill zombies

sirius: the fuck no you don't

remus: have you ever seen one?

sirius: no?

remus: then you are fucking welcome

[my-castles-crumbling]

Gay Panic?

First year:

James, casually: So my uncle has a husband.

Sirius, shocked: You can do that?

James: Yeah, I reckon so.

-

Second year:

Sirius: So I have a gay uncle too.

James, not really bothered: Weird, mate. Guess a lot of people are gay.

Sirius, a bit contemplative: Hahaha. Weird.

-

Third year:

Sirius, nervously: Do you ever want to kiss people?

James: Girls, right? You mean girls?

Sirius, even more nervously: Erm, yeah. Girls.

James: Yeah, I like Evans. She’s like…bossy-hot.

-

Fourth year:

Remus: So…I'm gay.

Sirius, having a gay crisis: Ohhhh! Erm, we support you!

James, also panicking, thinking of gay Regulus: Yes. We're allies!

Sirius, still internally panicking: Such allies.

-

Fifth year:

Sirius, freaking out again: So, you know how we're like…allies?

James, paranoid, worried Sirius saw him staring at Reggie: Yeah?

Sirius: Allies can have like…gay dreams, right? And still be straight?

James, relieved: Oh. Oh, yeah! Absolutely. I do, too! And I'm a thousand percent straight.

-

Sixth year:

Sirius, really having a crisis after Remus returned to school six inches taller: It's totally normal as a straight person to have a crush on another bloke, right?

James, still fully in denial even though he's been stalking Reg on the Map: Erm, yeah. Definitely. We're both straight.

-

Seventh year:

Sirius, having just kissed Remus: So actually Im definitely gay and I'm dating Moony and that crush and those dreams were all very gay.

James: Well FUCK what am I, then?

[whydousernamesevenexist]

Regulus would definitely pick Sirius's long hair off James's clothes and say "who is she?" every time as a joke

Pandora: The floor's lava!

James: *helping Regulus onto the table*

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ          

𝑨 = 𝑨𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

After you show Remus physical affection, he will return it. I don’t think he’s confident enough to show it to you until a few years into the relationship. But when he’s comfortable, he will show you affection in random ways. 

For example, he does so absentmindedly. When reading, he’ll draw circles on your leg, or kiss your arms when you’re about to fall asleep. 

𝑩 = 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚 (What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?)

𝑷𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 Remus loves when you’re concentrating. Your lips scrunch together, your eyebrows mirroring. And in that concentration, you cannot hear the world around you. 

𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 Your compassion. Remus loves that you feel so deeply for others. Your empathy and sympathy are what shocked all of the Marauders. Even James didn’t realise there was someone with such a heart as yours. It’s so good, and so gentle. 

𝑪 = 𝑪𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒔 (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Remus LOVES to cuddle. He gets jealous when Sirius turns into dog form and sits with his head on your lap and you stroke his ears. So Remus always makes sure that he’s the one who gets the most cuddles. Even though he won’t say it out loud, you know how he feels. 

𝑫 = 𝑫𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Remus is the most ready to settle down. Maybe not children straight away (or ever, but he won’t say ‘not ever’ to you.) He’s very good with cooking and cleaning. A great house companion really. Anyone who shares a house with him will be the happiest house mate. So, in your relationship, you never have to tell him to clean up or what he wants for dinner. He takes over those roles. Just automatically. 

𝑬 = 𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 (When something is bothering them, how do they act around you?)

He’s a lot quieter. He tries to fix it the situation himself, and take control of his emotions. But sooner or later, he will come to you and ask for your help. 

If you notice him and his change in mood, then you wait a bit for him to speak up. If he doesn’t, then you will ask about it. 

𝑭 = 𝑭𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒆 (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Remus would want to wait it out. He doesn’t want you to be in a commitment with him because he thinks you could do better. A werewolf for a husband is no husband at all (he thinks). 

𝑮 = 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆 (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Oh, Remus is one of the gentlest men on earth. He tries to make up for his wrongdoings as a werewolf by being both physically and emotionally gentle. He always treats people with kindness and patience. 

𝑯 = 𝑯𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 (Do they tell you about their childhood? Their trauma? The sides of themself that they keep hidden from the world.)

Actually, Remus is very hidden about his childhood. He’ll tell you small snippets at the beginning of your relationship, and you slowly find out about his upbringing in small segments. 

One evening you sat him down and asked him outright about his childhood. He told you some of the most heartbreaking things and you sobbed with him that night. 

𝑰 = 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It takes him a while to say it. That was one of the tiffs that you two had. You said it often and outwardly. Not caring who heard. But Remus constantly feels like he isn’t good enough for you. That if he says it back, then that means you two will be together forever. They’re the words that solidify your relationship. 

And so when he first said it...he began to say it every day, and then multiple times a day. 

𝑱 = 𝑱𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒚 (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Remus tries not to. He knows people can’t help but find you endearing. But he does feel jealous. He feels it so deeply. He isn’t possessive, but will let people show that you two are together. 

𝑲 = 𝑲𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚'𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 honey. Sweet, and gooey. He tastes like chocolate, and his kisses are therefore literally sweet. But he’s also so gentle with you. He’ll caress your face and stroke his thumb against your cheek. 

𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 is the palm of your hand. He’ll kiss it and then move it so it’s against his cheek. He’ll close his eyes for a few moments. 

𝑯𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 well, everywhere. But he loves when you kiss his forehead, then his left cheek, then his right. You always do it slowly, and with obvious fierce love. 

𝑳 = 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 (How are they around children?)

Oh, he’s wonderful around kids. He’s very tender and always makes them feel safe. He has such dilf energy. Like he was made to be a dad, or made to be a a man who people see as a father figure. 

𝑴 = 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 (How are mornings spent with them?)

Remus doesn’t want to get out of bed. And when he does, he’s a bit mopey. He shuffles from the bed, to the bathroom and then straight into the kitchen for a cup of coffee (he always makes you a cup as well, or tea if you prefer.)

𝑵 = 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 (How are nights spent with them?)

Remus will stay up late, every night, just to read. He loves his books. You’ll wake up and roll over just to find the clock pointed at 1 am. Remus’ light still on and the book he had just started, was nearly finished. 

𝑶 = 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏 (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Very slowly. You almost have to prod him for information. For some reason, he doesn’t like to ... open himself up emotionally. He sees himself as wounded. As someone who could hurt you by telling you the hurt that he’s experienced. 

𝑷 = 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 (How easily angered are they?)

Oh, he doesn’t get angered very easily at all. Not until someone insults you. Even when you’re having an argument, he never raises his voice. Not unless he thinks you could be harmed. Like the first time when it was the full moon and he couldn’t attain his potion. He was so frightened that he would hurt you, he had James and Sirius come over. 

𝑸 = 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒛𝒛𝒆𝒔 (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

He can’t remember, every little detail about you from the top of his head. But what he knows is important to you, he’ll remember. Like your birthday, even he’ll bring it up months before you do. 

𝑹 = 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)

Having the first Christmas outside of Hogwarts. The Marauders were worried that Christmas wouldn’t feel the same, but each of them now had partners - so everyone came over to you and Remus’ little apartment to have Christmas. 

It was absolutely lovely. Christmas crackers, Yorkshire puddings, a full roast. Both of you have been cleaning, cooking and setting up for two weeks before Christmas. 

Then each year it rotates, so each Marauder hosts the rest at their place. But you and Remus always think you put on the best spread. 

𝑺 = 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Remus is definitely protective of you. It comes from a place of love, that he wants to see you safe and well-cared for. He’s very protective when people are making you uncomfortable. 

Remus’ first instinct when you’re in an unsafe situation, is to first try and calm everyone down. If he can see that the aggressor is making you scared, he’ll whip out his wand and cast a spell in a flash. 

Remus feels like he shouldn’t have to be protected. He thinks he doesn’t deserve it. But you would always protect him. And his secret. You also protect him from himself. 

𝑻 = 𝑻𝒓𝒚 (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

You guys have a calendar and all special occasions, anniversaries, birthdays etc, are written down. Remus isn’t forgetful, but sometimes his mind can be so focused on the upcoming full moon, that the world around him isn’t really ... there. 

With everyday tasks, he happily puts effort into it. He would definitely be the type of person who anxiety-cleans, or angry-cleans. When the world feels like too much, he’ll go and do a load of laundry, tidy up the house and vacuum. 

𝑼 = 𝑼𝒈𝒍𝒚 (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Can be a tad clumsy, or absentminded. You have to shout his name at times because he’s so engrossed in his book. 

𝑽 = 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Hardly at all. Well, he is moreso because he wants to impress you. But he doesn’t take as long as Sirius. That man will take over an hour to get his hair ... just right. 

𝑾 = 𝑾𝒉𝒚 (Reasons why they love each other)

𝑯𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 you’re a comfortable person, a safe person. Someone who doesn’t put others down, who sees the world for what it could be, rather than what it is. You make him feel like he has a purpose. 

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 you have never met a young man so emotionally mature, intuitive and kind. He can put anyone at ease. He has charisma, even if he doesn’t think so. And his love for chocolate is very convenient. 

𝑿 = 𝑿𝒚𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆 (What’s their song)

Hope for the Future by Joseph Trapanese. A song from the Shadow and Bone soundtrack. It has this comfortable, warm surrounding sound - there’s no timidness in the way the instruments rise. It’s bold, and has a little melody that makes your heart full. 

𝒀 = 𝒀𝒖𝒄𝒌 (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Doesn’t like when people leave things messier than they found it. For example, Remus hated sharing a room at Hogwarts because the boys would move things around and leave things on the floor. 

Another instance is when guests leave their table messy at restaurants or cafes. He will always put the plates in a stacked, neat pile and clean up any crumbles or rubbish. 

𝒁 = 𝒁𝒛𝒛 (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)    

He has terrible nightmares. And they’re usually about things he’s done in his wolf form. He was very scared of falling asleep for a few years. 

So at night, he has his potion that helps him fall asleep, and stay asleep for the night. It doesn’t taste that good, but not nearly as bad as polyjuice potion. 

[isabel-lillah]

"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
