The story behind the butterfly effect is really cool. I don't remember it exactly but it goes something like:

1960s computer science guy was making a weather simulation algorithm based on real weather data. Computer memory was limited so he trimmed the input data down to 3 digits after the decimal point. He expected a little bit of inaccuracy because of that but when he ran the simulation the results were out of wack. And the longer he ran it the more inaccurate they became. The amount of air pressure that got removed by the rounding down was equivalent to the flutter of a butterfly's wing.

Hence why the flutter of a butterfly's wing changing the weather.

Also this was the origin story to an entire field called Chaos Theory.

I think the other reason I don't really get into ships as portrayed by fandom culture is that it seems like the mindset is more like. "I want these characters to be in a Romantic Relationship(TM)" instead of "I want these characters' relationship to be romantic"

What I mean here is that, so often I see pairings enacting romance tropes to the point of heavily altering or downright replacing their original dynamic - as if the people behind it only understand romance as a series of checklists to tick off. Couples like to kiss and sleep in the same bed and flirt with each other, so it doesn't matter who the characters are, if they're a couple then naturally they'll do those things, right??

And that's where the whole thing starts to lose me, because I would assume that the appeal of shipping characters is, y'know... the characters? Rather than just, the idea of a couple? If I'm thinking about how it'd be cool for them to be in love, my first thought is always "so how would they show it," because just like everything else about a person, the answer is going to be different on a case-by-case basis.

Maybe the characters involved aren't really into kissing, but they like arranging date activities. Maybe they aren't committed to the structure of dating at all, and just want to be around each other whenever they can. And even if they are the types to like doing traditionally romantic things, that doesn't suddenly erase whatever else they had going on before they started adding that on top of it.

I'm not saying that the more typical romance tropes and activities are bad, just that they're applied kind of excessively, regardless of whether or not they actually work for the characters involved. I want to see my favorite characters having relationships that are true to who they are, not what the stock depiction of a couple says they should be.

Marauders fans are cringier and more embarrassing Harry Potter fans

Even though both groups are supporting a horrible hateful woman, the Harry Potter clearly has an attachment to the books aka canon material

Marauders fans don't even care about canon so why are you still here?

At this point just shamelessly ripoff and rebrand your content. Give Remus, Peter, Lily, James, Sirius, Regulus, Barty, Evan, Pandora, Marlene, Dorcas, Narcissa, Andromeda, Bellatrix, Severus etc different names and call it a day. You only care about fanon anyways.
