The marauders fandom is basically taking any character from harry potter and saying "ok cool but make them GAY and give them EVEN MORE TRAUMA" and I love that
regulus "cause i loved you, i swear i loved you, till my dying day" black
and
james "and I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)" potter
Sirius: Next person to say “weird flex but okay” is getting thrown of the astronomy tower.
Regulus: Preposterous boast but alas.
no i dont like ‘harry potter’ i like a secret second gayer thing that exists in my head
barty and evan got a black cat after regulus died and named it 'leo' as in the leo constellation
using "Walburga's A+ Parenting" as a warning for child abuse in a marauders fanfic will never not be funny to me
Painful Bartylus to non toxic rosekiller my love
Painful bartylus where [pre emotional growth] Regulus was just excited someone liked him but Barty didn’t like Regulus he loved him
And Regulus didn’t love him back
Painful Bartylus where Reggie was not in the best mental space and couldn’t handle all of Barty’s Bartyness, told him he was too much, too loud, too weird even though Barty was trying so hard not to be
Painful Bartylus where the breakup wasn’t a big deal for Regulus because he figured neither of them were really that emotionally invested and they became friends again immediately but for Barty it was just a desperate attempt to keep Reg in his life
Then Evan Rosier who saw it all happen and couldn’t say anything because these were his two best friends but all he could think was how he could do it so much better, how he and Barty would be so good to each other
Evan Rosier who got the chance about a year later when he and Barty kissed on New Year’s Day and then proceeded to not stop kissing
Barty who was so terrified of losing Evan too and Evan finding it hard because he’s not good at emotions but in every way he can, showing Barty he loved him with hugs and handholds and playing with his hair and Evan’s lap becoming Barty’s new resting place
Evan figuring out he’s ace and worrying Barty won’t want him anymore
Barty saying I love you for the first time when Evan finally breaks down over it
Evan not being able to say it back straight away and Barty not minding because he already knew from all the ways Evan showed him already
Evan finally saying it and Barty nearly bursting into tears because honestly he never thought in a million years he could ever be this happy
And because I’m on a roll w it
Regulus finally doing better when he starts dating James, Regulus who notices how it affects James when people call him weird or too much, Regulus who sees how different Barty is with Evan than he ever was with him
Regulus who REALISES.
Regulus who finally apologises.
Thinking about Regulus talking James's ear off about things he enjoys (but only in private cause he has a reputation to uphold) and James being silent only when he's with Regulus (he too has his reputation to uphold) and actually listening... Reggie is happy cause someone is listening to him for once in his life, and James is happy cause he doesn't have to be 'the happy person' for once.
The Marauders meeting as a whole group for the in nearly twenty years right after Remus dies and there all having this heartfelt moment until Peter walks in across the room.
And instantly Sirius loses it. Wants to go up to him and fight him and Remus and James have to physically restrain him because he's saying "I'm already dead. The little rat can't kill me again."
And Peter obviously hears this. He kinda shrinks into himself because Sirius could hurt him even without magic, but that's not why he walks away. Not why he gets scared shitless.
No.
He walks away because of the second pair of grey eyes that stand next to James. He gets scared as he remembers the threats given to him by the youngest black brother.
"You betray them, Pettigrew, and I will kill you. I don't care that you're a pureblood, or that your a spy for us. He treats you like a brother, and if you throw that away It'll be your own life your ending."t
He treats you like a brother
At the time Peter assumed he was talking about James. But now, with the look Regulus is giving him from across the room, as Sirius thrashes against the arms of his best friends, he knows who he was truly talking about.
you know the marauders brainrot is bad whenever you see anything red and green together and immediately think of ahb instead of christmas..
Honestly could be any of the marauders they are having a bad time
