i NEED the marauders girlies to look at Dominic Sessa bc that's Remus Lupin right there im sorry but Andrew Garfield will never come close he's lacking the tall weirdo gene
no but really think about it james and lily died when they were 21 why were they shown in the movies as if they were 55 ??? another reason to add to the other million already existing to reject canon and embrace delusion
Thinking of Wolfstar and how I sound like a freak trying to explain how
This
Became this
Like I would love to explain how around 2014, there was a sudden rise and resurrection second coming of christ our lord saviour Wolfstar. And, we fancasted so hard that almost 10 years later, we’re still stuck on this. And how most of the hp queer fandom started to latch onto these characters cause there was no other representation and these two started it all.
In the wake of she-who-shall-not-be-named spitting in our trans brothers and sisters’ faces, more of the hp fandom has retreated to the Marauders Era (a completely fanon lore with POCs and Queer people). That somehow this fanon non-profit lore had a better understanding of the world than canon and redeemed Slytherins by showing how inter-generational trauma affected them. By showing us that Bellatrix Lestrange was only a pawn in the Black family’s game. That Narcissa and Regulus were only doing what they had to do to survive. Sirius’ madness was not just for eccentric reasons.
This fandom highlighted the treatment of house elves. Talked about slavery. Talked about Queen Dame Lily EVANS’ childhood!! She wasn’t just a plot device to redeem Severus Snape. She was the muggle voice in the group. She was the witch that was outcasted by her muggle sister because she believed in magic. She was minority in two worlds. She was the Marauders’ friend. She wasn’t a prude or a damsel to be saved. She wasn’t just Harry’s mother. She was one of the brightest witches of her time. Harry inherited her WIT, her perseverance, her defiance, her pride, unrelenting nature. Harry Potter inherited more than her eyes. He inherited her ability to thrive in the face of trauma.
Joanne could have never given this to us. I don’t think any one person could give us this. This was a collection of rewritten lore from people who loved the universe it created but wished to be seen. And, I love my sometimes problematic and inconsistent little fandom.
Some of y'all need to realize that it's srsly not that deep. Ppl can draw Sirius in a dress and u can still characterize him as someone who wouldn't wear it.
The marauders and slytherin skittles shoes cuz why not
(suggestions are welcome and very much appreciated)
The marauders
James is a red Converse boy (he wears them religiously)
Remus is a tan steal toed doc Martins boy (he mostly wears them because if he accidentally kicks someone he doesn't like in the back of the leg or in the shin it'll hurt 10x more)
Peter wears tranors (sneakers for u Americans) and black Converse he prefers comfortability over style but yet he accidentally always matches his shoes to his outfit
Sirius wears any black pair of boots he can find (his favorite are platform shoes because they make him taller cuz he's a short boy)
The Slytherin skittles
Barty wears just plain black doc Martin and the occasional pair of Converse
Regulus wears green Converse when he's able to but if his family are in the way he's wearing fancy boy shoes (he also wears platform boots he steals from Evan for the same reason Sirius wears them)
Evan wears platform boots and are his feet killing him by the end of the day, yes, does he care, no
Pandora wears Mary Janes because they match everything she wears and she even puts butterfly clips on them if she can
Dorcas has just a rainbow of Converse and she draws and decorates the hell out of them
(If you have other ideas please feel free to comment them)

some little details i like:
- Mary with the lyric "memories that remain" was very intentional.
- My concept was that these are pieces from Remus' memory, which is why we don't see him in it... until the end when he imagines/recalls him being together with the three others.
- Going off of that a little bit, the last solo clip of Sirius gives me "oh i'm looking at you longingly" vibes or smth and it's from Remus' perspective so yeah wolfstar.
- the grave lyric changes makes me sad even when im the one that chose to do it
