also a moment of silence for female characters who get a lot of shit but would be adored if they were male

sirius not giving a fuck about the prank, but also being so surprised that snape actually showed up is so precious to me. "damn. i thought i have made it clear that i hate him. wdym he came?"

padfoot, sirius

The way that Ron got laughed at for dancing with Minnie but the marauders would have leaped at the opportunity 😂😭

I’ve had such bad art block recently so idk how I created this but we’re here so yay

Nymphadora Tonks is an incredibly smart, strong, capable witch, and she is a 23-year-old with a massive crush on an emotionally unavailable man. And that is why she will always be the most relatable character in the series to me.

i wanted to write something fluffly. it’s turning into smut.

Life Lines ⭐️

Based on a headcannon I saw a while ago on tt, which was based on a post made on tumblr but i haven’t been able to find the original post, so if anyone knows, pls lmk!

you have your mother’s eyes

Severus: After everything you've done how can you sleep at night?

James: Next to my wife.

i genuinely didn’t think more than 3 people would like this concept 😂

marauders au in which they are immortals (base on the old guard).

need to stop coming up with new ideas when i can’t even update anything right now. but i can’t. too many ideas.

marls being the oldest immortal before crossing paths with the marauders. james and sirius playing russian roulette constantly in their first years. remus becoming a sniper. peter the strategic mind behind all their ventures. sirius being the only one that can contact marls when they need her. them trying to get to the new inmortal: lily evans, before government finds out. tempted to add regulus for the drama. sirius having to deal with his shit, maybe a little moonwater?

A post-Azkaban 90s hot dad Sirius just because.

Everyone talks about Harry and Lily's eyes in the movie and how Ginny and Ron weren't given justice. But what about Harry and James' CHARACTER and important part of their looks.

They both have the same face, hair, glasses, height and very similar personalities. They were so similar that Harry pointed out their differences which were only their nose and eyes.

Their unusually messy jet-black hair is so important because that's what makes them look so similar and stand out because their hair is so messy. Their height wasn't very important except it told us an estimate of James' height (Harry's height).

The movies completely missed out that Harry is very composed in awkward and most situations. Whenever Harry and Cho interacted in the movies, Harry was this awkward, nervous guy while Cho was the stand up, confident girl while in the books, Harry was all composed (Even when sprayed by Neville's plant in OotP) and natural and Cho was the nervous one. In the movies, Harry was well-known, but girls didn't ask him out everywhere and he was struggling to get a girl. In the books, nearly every girl was asking him out and he denied them, one because a girl was taller than him. Harry was NOT awkward, the most he'll do is blush slightly, look away and go silent. In HBP, he doesn't randomly stand up when Ginny walks into the slug-club, I actually wanted to die watching him interact with girls in the movies.

In general, Harry is a popular jock and hexed people (Goyle, Crabbe and Filch) in the corridors for no reason, but they were stupid (They deserved it though). He had much of James' personality, like with how he can be arrogant, but a savior and empathetic.

With James, in the movies, we were only shown his flaws and weren't shown that he was insanely loyal, stood up for muggle born rights (Despite being a wealthy pure blood), sacrificed his life, saved Snape's life, was a good person, smart, broke the law for his werewolf friend, despised the dark arts, let his runaway friend live with him, supported his werewolf friend financially, was friends with outcasts, head boy, good father and person.

The movies showed that he was a bully, didn't care for people. And when we saw his body in the movies, they didn't show he voluntarily stood up to Voldemort. The movies made it seem like he didn't try to go against him, but was just killed like Voldemort does to all his targets, while they made it look like it was just Lily who sacrificed her life.

In the books, it showed that Harry and James had the same, matching Patronus's. IT was so important because it made Harry think his dad somehow came back to life. Like how Harry went-

"Dad. . ."

-in PoA when he saw the stag patronus. Having James and Harry look so similar, act similar and die similar (Having both James and Harry stand up against Voldemort voluntarily and voluntarily go to him) was entirely erased in the movie adaption. It was James' sacrifice that made Harry sacrifice his life in the forbidden forest and fight Voldemort in the graveyard when Voldemort mentioned that James stood tall against him.

Everything would've been different if Voldemort gave James the choice to live and back off just like Voldemort gave Lily the choice.

actualizado, AL FIN!

(casi 19hrs después de medianoche sigue siendo después de medianoche, yo no inventé las reglas)

el siguiente capítulo de "a través de los años" está en proceso, pero advierto que mi cerebro está a baja capacidad y es más probable que actualice pasada la medianoche.

okay so 7 is considered the perfect number. so there’s 7 immortals: marls, sirius, james, remus, peter, regulus (views opposite to the rest of them) and mary (who is tragically imprisoned somewhere no one knows).

enters lily, but since there can only be 7, marlene starts losing her immortality.

Do you think Remus had a second of happiness and relief when he saw Peter alive on the map just before the pieces started falling into place? That he thought "oh thank god, he's alive, my friend is alive" but then he understood that if Peter was alive, something awful had to have happened? That a great and terrible mistake must have been made? And do you think that while his heart was breaking with understanding and hatred, another part of him kept him going, thinking that after all, Sirius had always been the Sirius he knew?

Do you have any headcanons about Wizarding cultural norms and stereotypes?

I love how your brain works ❤️❤️

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ My brain is mostly fuelled by tea and spite, but it does try. So I love thinking about cultural quirks and here are some of my hcs:

1. Table manners look very different in old wizarding families.

Especially the ones who look down on Muggle etiquette. In some of the oldest families, you eat off a trencher and don’t necessarily use a fork. And there’s a cloth slung over your left shoulder, like in Elizabethan or Tudor times (I still have a bit of Wolf Hall brain rot), that you use to wipe your hands.

2. Birth charts are taken extremely seriously.

Almost every magical child has a birth chart drawn up the day they’re born. St. Mungo’s has an entire department that does this, because it’s considered that important. People absolutely reference their charts in daily life.

3. Wand funeral rites are non-negotiable.

Wands are either buried with the person or ritualistically burnt when someone passes. It’s seen as really bad luck to keep or use a dead person’s wand. A wand goes with its person. Keeping it is taboo and viewed with deep suspicion.

4. The concept of pure-blood varies by culture.

The British definition is very specific, but it’s not universal. Other magical cultures define purity differently. In some places, it’s about the continuity of magical teaching. In others, it doesn’t exist at all as a social category.

5. Family sashes are worn at weddings and then exchanged.

Each member of the wedding party wears their family colours. After the vows, the sashes are exchanged as a gesture of unity and joining. It matters deeply in old magical families and is considered one of the most symbolic parts of the ceremony.

6. Weddings are not white.

In most old magical families, white is considered a colour for mourning. Wedding garments are typically gold, deep red, forest green, or midnight blue. Gold is especially traditional in Mediterranean magical families.

7. Pregnancy is considered a prophetically potent time.

Pregnant witches are often believed to be more magically attuned. It’s common to visit a dream seer during the second trimester — someone trained to interpret the dreams of the expectant mother.

8. First movement is marked with a fire spell.

When the unborn child first kicks or moves, it’s tradition to light a fire with a spell cast by the pregnant witch herself. Then that fire is kept burning until the child is born.

9. You never point your wand at the sky unless you’re making an oath.

It’s an old tradition, possibly Celtic in origin, that raising your wand skyward invokes the elements as witness. Children are warned against it as strongly as they’re warned against Unforgivables. To the sky means a vow, and it is expected to be honoured.

10. Certain flowers are magically significant and avoided indoors.

Lilies are considered death flowers. They are used in soul-anchoring rites during funerals. Forget-me-nots are essential in memory magic and shouldn’t be handled while drinking or before exams. Poppies, used to dull magical pain, are never left near a wand overnight. It’s said they dull a wand’s magical firepower.

11. You don’t write a person’s name in red ink.

Across most wizarding cultures, this is considered deeply disrespectful. Red ink is used in blood pacts, contract severances, and formal magical excommunication. Writing someone’s name in red is a symbolic disowning. Teachers correct essays in green or purple.

12. Family portraits are part of the household warding.

Hanging a portrait of a deceased relative strengthens the home’s protective magic. In older families, these portraits are passed down. Some serve as sentries. Some offer advice or judgemental comments about you.

“Believe me,” croaked Black. “Believe me. I never betrayed James

and Lily. I would have died before I betrayed them.”

(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

lily and marlene texting each other whenever prongsfoot is around.

James + Lily = Jily

Probably something James came up with during their 5th year at Hogwarts

Altho., Sirius prefers calling them "Lames" = Lily + James

James Potter & Sirius Black

If anything it makes his dislike for Snape worse for falling after the prank and putting Remus at risk for being so stupid.

I fucking hate the "James hates Sirius after the prank" trope. I'm sorry but there's NOTHING Sirius could do that would make James hate him. James would probably kiss Sirius and praise his great prank idea. These two will never abandon each other and that's it.

Marauders in their 20's! Forgot to post this heree

OMG BLEUR! There’s a really good fic called The Cursebreaker’s Wife that not only follows their story but also fills the gaps during OotP, highly recommend 💓

Romione and Remadora are the hottest canon couples.
