#then they love ships like Rosekiller or quillkiller

[olivers-cocoapuffs]

me staring at the “how I feel about certain ships” except ships with Peter or Severus in them are automatically in the hate section, affirming that you all think that “bad guys” don’t deserve love which is why you headcanon them as aroace which is harmful to the a-spec community for a million reasons

[cazzythefrogking]

rating marauders era ships cuz why not!

Wolfstar- 100/10. I actually didnt ship this for a long time but now i love it, it's probably my favorite

Dorlene- 100/10 as well, it's my second favorite. I love it as both the slytherin dorcas rivals to lovers, and the gryffindor dorcas friends to lovers

Jily- 9/10. It's really cute and i love it but I love jegulus and marylily equally

Jegulus- 9/10, same reason as above

Marylily- 9/10, still same as above

Prongsfoot- 4/10, I love it platonically but I'm really just not a fan of it romantically. I see them too much as brothers

Alice & Frank- 7/10. I like it, but not as much as others

Marylene- 6/10. It's cute, but I definitely prefer dorlene. but i think they probably hooked up at some point

Marlily- 5/10. platonically i love it, but otherwise no

Bartylus- 7/10. They probably dated at some point. I like it, but not as endgame

NobleFlower- 5/10 havent actually seen much on it, so no opinion

Mary & Remus- 6/10 I use to really ship this for a while, but not really anymore. I can see them maybe dating for a bit after james & lily die and sirius is sent away, but then they decide to stay friends

Moonflower- 4/10. Platonically it's amazing, otherwise no

Pandalily- 8/10. I love it, it's really cute

Rosekiller- 9/10. I love it. Not one of my main ships, but i see it as endgame

Mary & Sirius- 4/10. I think they wouldve dated briefly in like 4th year before they realized they were gay

Quillkiller- 5/10. dont have an opinion

Ravenrock- 8/10, very cute

James & Peter- 5/10. I think peter wouldve been in love with james, but it wouldnt be reciprocated and he'd never confess

Blackinnon- 3/10. Sirius would be her gay awakening. By that i mean they'd have dated briefly, because marlene would probably have been in deep denial, and they'd kiss and she'd be like. Oop. Nope. i am definitely into girls. This would be prior to sirius coming out.

also, these are just my opinions! no hate to any ship. ship whatever you want, as long as it's not problematic.

[thirdspeakerdebater]

i love how the marauders have such cool ship names, like:

sunseeker/starchaser, wolfstar, rosekiller, nobleflower, quillkiller, the list goes on

and then harry potter just has:

hinny, romione, drarry, linny…

[itsjaywalkers]

hii!! i am still somewhat new to this fandom but i’ve read all of your stuff and ADORE your writing, like you are SO talented, it’s insane. your blog is actually kind of what inspired me to make a tumblr account for this fandom in the first place. you seem so sweet and have so much talent, i hope your day has been wonderful 🫶 do you have any accounts/any mutuals of yours that you’d recommend to someone new(ish) to the fandom? i’m excited to see more fics and art & would love some recommendations !!

hey angel <3

oh this is such a lovely and wonderful message, i read it this morning at work and it warmed my heart (and it was one of the few things that managed to pull me through today's nightmare of a shift). i'm so so so happy that my silly blog encouraged u to join the tumblr side of the fandom?? like, don't get me wrong it's the Worst sometimes but it can also be soooo fun!! you're the SWEETEST and my day wasn't great but it's gonna end on a nice note so <3 i also hope your day was as great as you are!!

oh i have LOTS of accounts.. honestly i think you should follow every single one of my mutuals or any single person you've seen me interact with, but to name a few: @carniferous (one of my favourite writers ever.. no one gets jegulus like dil does they know them personally) @foursaints (one of my favourite artists in the whole world.. made me get properly invested in rosekiller + showed me the bartylily vision) @quillkiller (Amazing writing.. Impeccable takes.. got me into quillkiller and always manages to make me care about ships i don't even like) @static-radio-ao3 (my baby.. wonderful writing with some of the best and most natural dialogue i've ever read.. fucking love how she writes the black brothers every single time) @certifiedl0verboy (india is writing one of my current fav jegulus wips.. aka deep the water.. it has one of the only james ever!! to me!!) @likeprongstostars (THE jegulus fanartist.. to me.. vi is always dropping masterpiece after masterpiece and she's always keeping us all so incredibly well-fed) @sommerregenjuniluft (always and forever kissing lune's brain.. one of the most creative people i know, she blows my mind even with the briefest of drabbles)

that's just a handful but really, every single one of my mutuals is so incredibly talented and dear to me, following any (or all) of them is always a safe bet. mwah <333

[maladaptivewriting]

On scale from 1 to 10 how would you rate these ships and why:

James/Regulus/Barty/Evan

Lily/Barty/Evan

Narcissa/Lily

James/Regulus/Sirius/Remus

Bellatrix/Rita/Ms.Zabini (I don't think she had a name in canon, tell me if I'm wrong)

Draco/a dragon (you keep mentioning this one fic, you asked for it)

James/Barty

Lily/Pandora/Mary

Mary/Marlene/Dorcas

Lucius/Snape (this ship used to constantly haunt me a few years ago)

wow what a fun ask.

okay i want to preface this by saying that i’m not really into poly ships, but im going to make an exception for this and try to be fair.

1. james/regulus/barty/evan: 5/10

i could this happening like one time as a fun anniversary gift for one of the couples, but i could never see the four of them in an actual relationship.

2. lily/barty/evan: 7/10

i like this to the extent that it is far superior to jegulily which is absolutely despise. i can see barty and evan as people who might have a looser definition of relationships and jealous than james or regulus so rosekiller with lily could be really fun. lily seems soft enough to dull some of their edges. plus the fanart is hot

3. narcissa/lily: 9/10

there is a lot of potential here, especially for angst purposes, but i think this ship would work best in like a bdsm fic/setting. like narcissa is older than lily and she’s definitely the most put together of all the malfoys so i could see her domming lily and i love that for them.

4. james/regulus/sirius/remus: 7/10

putting aside the incest for a second. i could see this happening like once or twice. however i think regulus and sirius are both extremely possessive and jealous people, remus and james too but not to the same extent, so i dont think they would like to share. however i think the possessiveness could be hot depending on how it’s used.

5. bellatrix/rita/mrs. zabini: 3/10

the thing about mrs. zabini is that i just don’t think she likes being tied down and i can’t see her enjoying it with two partners. i like quillkiller but mrs. zabini throws a wrench in things.

6. draco/dragon: 9/10

i have read all the fics with this tag, however i think charlie/dragon works better. but the best option imo is like draco/dragon animagus. so like a drarry fic where harry is a dragon animagus? that would be 10/10

7. james/barty: 3/10

i feel indifferent to this ship, but i don’t think it would work out. one of my closest friends irl is so barty core and i think a james person would piss her the fuck off, they would never work

8. lily/pandora/mary: 6/10

i think there is potential here for something soft and sweet but i would only read this ship if one of them was evil and out to hurt the other two.

9. mary/marlene/dorcas: 1/10

i just cannot see marlene with mary like at all. i actually don’t even think these two would be friends post hogwarts based on their personalities. i think they would seriously annoy each other

10. lucius/snape: 8/10

again so much angst potential. i’ve read this ship a few times, it used to pop a lot as a background ship so i would often see it, and i feel like it can work but there has to be discussions about power dynamics here for it to read well. i prefer snape with a non-magical oc personally

you didn’t ask for full explanations but you’re getting them anyway

[aithusarosekiller]

What are your favorite ships?

Oooo I love this question bc I have like 500 so I have to narrow it down 😭 hElp

Okay top 7

Jegulus

Dorlene

Crystalflower

Padtail

DARKSUN (my actual children)

Sunstargazer (I had to include Regulily somehow)

Quillkiller

At least one person is probably thinking 'but you have rosekiller in your name' but the thing is, tiktok has wolfstarified rosekiller in the past year so I can hardly enjoy them anymore 💔 it is a true tragedy ikik, I'm just attached to the name so I refuse to get rid of it

[thund3randrain]

The marauders era fans just had to get all fancy with the ship names and I love us for that

Honey do you see any other fandoms calling their ships things like 'Wolfstar' 'Starchaser' 'Sunseeker' 'Rosekiller' 'Nobleflower' 'Moonwater' 'Quillkiller' 'Skyflower' 'Flowerpott' 'Sunflower' etc?

Nope. Because we're the best. Hands down. I will fight you on this.

[aidyaiden]

I saw ur post abt marauders. I joined the fandom like 5 months ago and am very deep already. (Also- side note- BYLER! I need them to be canon!) 

So I thought i’d give you some insight. I hope this is not too overwhelming. 

So, I started from Wolfstar, ran into a couple of tiktok, learnt fan casts of the main five (marauders and Lily) and picked up some headcanons (which says a lot about the fandoms perception of a character)

a lot of ppl will say to read the long fics (such as ATYD) but that’s totally up to you. I still haven’t read those cause I can’t read long fics. 

I read a lot of one shots, sometimes factoring in character tags on ao3, so I could see a little more of different characters. 

Oh and I found fanart of the big group (including the slytherins) helpful. Once I could identify everyone from fanart alone just by scrolling through tumblr I felt like i’d achieved something (since all the characters look very different to canon. Eg, they’re not all white anymore- thank god). 

So you start with Marauders (James, Sirius, Remus, Peter). Then there’s Lily, Mary, Marlene in Gryffindor. 

Then an extension of that is Dorcas, Pandora, Barty and Evan in Slytherin with Regulus (Sirius’ brother). Although sometimes Dorcas and Pandora are in different houses but usually that friend group. 

Then there’s more depth but I won’t overwhelm you too much (there’s a massive part of the fandom just dedicated to Black family lore tbh)

oh and learning to identify ship names is another whole thing. 

Wolfstar (Remus and Sirius), Prongsfoot (James and Sirius), Sunseeker/Starchaser (James and Regulus), Moonwater (Remus and Regulus), Moonflower (Remus and Lily), Nobleflower (Alice and Narcissa), Rosekiller (Barty and Evan), Quillkiller (Bellatrix and Rita Skeeter). 

Oh and I have to add Dorlene (Dorcas and Marlene) who I don’t think have a ship name like that but I love them so yeah. 

And obviously you don’t have to go as deep as Rita and Bella- they’re a bit of a push to be considered marauders fandom anyway. And you can ship whoever you like. Or not ship anyone if you prefer- these can be used platonically. 

Basically I have no idea what level of Marauders knowledge you already have, but i’d say tumblr headcanons help a lot and don’t be afraid to ask questions cause most ppl in the fandom are lovely and happy to explain :) 

OMG THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

for now i think i'll just have to know the characters an recognize them etc because rn i only know sirius and remus from the HP movies (and i heard a bit about regulus, james and lily i think)

and so i wanted to ask you who are some good marauders fan artists? or just blogs? :')

yeah i'll just. try to scroll on the marauders tumblr a bit every day until they get in my brain

(and yes byler canon in s5!!! 😼)

[olivers-cocoapuffs]

I love how unhinged this fandom is when it’s naming ships. You’ve got the pretty names, Sunseeker, Wolfstar, Moonwater, Pandalily, Noble flower. You’ve got the darker vibes, Rosekiller, Quillkiller. You’ve got the silly name mash ones, Jegulus, Jily, bartylus, dorlene.

and then you’ve got the dumb shit like Party, Partyvan, bitchkiller, prongsfoot

[quillkiller]

for the ask game for ships:

quillkiler: 7, 10, 11, 19, 21 rosekiller: 10, 11, 19

THANK U<3

(this ask game!!)

quillkiller:

7. Who is the more romantic one?

definitely bellatrix. but in a really intense and disturbing way shshdjjd. like bella will give rita a necklace w a vial of her blood on it and stuff like that to show her devotion. rita isnt good with romantic gestures but she loves bella being romantic and insane and makes up for it by ravaging her

10. Who drives and who picks out the music?

rita both drives and picks the music……. bellatrix has shit music tate and can NOT be trusted behind the wheel . she will absolutely road rage of rita’s behalf the entire time tho and rita will hold her hand on bellas thigh bc she loves it. bellatrix thinks its hot as fuck when rita drives . rita loves bella being her passenger princess

11. What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

’yes to heaven’ lana del rey, ’pink in the night’ by mitski, ’the archer’ taylor swift

19. How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?

they don’t . neither of them know how to be subtle. bellatrix would kill for rita, literally, and rita knows this. rita would cover for her and bellatrix knows this too. they don’t know what a small gesture is even if they’d be oblivious in the beginning. bellatrix’s love for rita is so big that it literally pours out of her against her will. rita’s love for bellatrix is so all consuming that it shows in everything she writes or whenever she talks

21. Which of their friends/family pokes fun at them for them getting flustered/affectionate?

literally all of them. except for maybe regulus bc i feel like he’d relate to bellatrix’s struggles when she first falls in love with rita. if its a fix it black sisters au andromeda would take the piss SO MUCH ahsjdjjdkkkdk she wouldnt shut up about it fr .

rosekiller:

10. Who drives and who picks out the music?

evan definitely drives!! my mans barty doesn’t even have a license and will never get one… he was born to be a passenger princess.. so he picks the music<3

11. What’s a song that describes their relationship? Or, what’s the song that they’ve deemed “their” song?

’like real people’ do by hozier…… and obv the classic ’don’t blame me’ by taylor swift heheh

19. How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?

evan’s love language is acts of service and he loves doing things for barty. literally anything just to make his happy or content. my man is so whipped he’d probably make barty’s bed i swear . barty is clingy and i imagine him just always hanging off of evan even when there’s plenty of space. barty isn’t very subtle either …..

[cattiemk]

ive been thinning about, like, the double standard of men and women in the marauders fandom and whenever i do i try to think of an explanation as to why they have this double standard by saying it’s bc they know more abt the boys and i think in some way that’s true, bc, like, we know more abt james, sirius, and remus way more then we know stuff abt mary, marlene, and lily and i think that is totally jk rowling’s fault bc she’s a sexist piece of shit who cares more abt the men in her stories then the women and they’re left extremely underdeveloped while the boys are well thought out and i think as a fandom that’s made up of hcs that we have the chance to change that, and we kind of do, but a lot of the girls are still left underdeveloped in some parts of the fandom. and i know the sexism was a big thing talked abt like 6 months ago and i still think it’s a huge thing. i see this with sirius and mary bc sirius is constantly with women and is always flirting and always dating(before remus) but mary is doing the same and she’s called a slut, and we totally change her character and i just feel like dating is such an important part of her character bc she goes through so many men and puts them in their place when they break her heart and i just think that’s so badass and everyone hates her for it and im just like “WHAT THE FUCK WHY???” and it’s true why. barty and bellatrix to bc we love barty and he’s all tragic and he’s a lunatic but he’s a cool lunatic and a hot one but oh bellatrix is crazy. like what is this??? also with ships like why is jegulus all over the place and categorized as tragic and there’s so many fics abt them but nobleflower which is basically the same thing(the same thing very generally) is not talked abt at all?? same with rosekiller which is like my fav ship of all time btw is seen as these two hot psychos who went through a lot and went crazy and everyone loves them and they love barty and evan but quillkiller which is also like the same thing isn’t a thing at all. what’s with this sexism??

[olivers-cocoapuffs]

im currently hiding in one if the bathrooms stalls to get away from my science teacher.

BUT QUESTION

if you were to have one marauders era ship, and make it canon. like siriusly fr in the books and movies, what ship would it be?

mine personally would be either darksun, killerlily or rosekiller

why do they all hanve barty? idk

I’ve turned my laptop off to do the same 💀

I’d have to go quillkiller tbh. Imagine them making Harry’s life miserable together?? Iconic

I feel like darksun -> Jily would be cool cause someone mentions darksun at some point and Harry’s like BRO WHAT TJE FUCKKKK

Cause barty is amazing and I love him??

[risetherivermoon]

what are your thoughts on quillkiller? (just found out this was a ship like two days ago)

ooh! i’m not as involved with the black sisters side of the fandom (i’d like to be) but i love quillkiller from the stand point im at? i feel like bellatrix and rita would have a cool dynamic with how i see their characterisations. One of of my fics does include quillkiller although i dont have too much of them in that since they’re a background couple, honestly id have to read more about how others see them to get a better idea of them, if that makes sense??

if anyone would like to tune me in or give fic recs id be happy to listen 🤷‍♂️

honestly in retrospect it seems like an odd pairing but so does jegulus, rosekiller…really a lot of popular ships in this fandom would be considered odd from a normal hp enjoyer stand point, which tbh makes it more fun!

ill have to read more about them and the black sisters side of the fandom to really get into writing about them, but from where i am i enjoy the ship! sorry that i dont have more to say, but thank you for the ask :DD
