How The Marauders + Reg And Lily Tied Their Shoes

If one of my bookmarked fics updates in the next 24 hours I will kiss the author on the mouth, very passionately.

This is not a threat, but a promise.

Someone notices Regulus singing a song nonstop and when they ask him what song it is he just says he doesn’t know and walks away.

And then like a month later the song comes out on the radio and that person is just losing their shit.

Seer! Regulus but it only allows him to randomly know songs (mostly muggle) that have yet to be written. Like imagine he goes to to Lucius and Narcissa's wedding and just starts humming 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua.

Sirius pisses him off and so Regulus screams 'Who let the dogs out' at the top of his lungs.

11 year old Reg just strolls down the Hallways singing Mr Blue Sky. (On bad days it's A Thousand miles by Vanessa Carlton)

regulus vs the divination professor

I want a jegulus fic where Regulus has to sit through James flirting just so badly with Lily that he has to intervene.

Like he straight up looks him dead in the eye and screams ‘SHE’S JUST NOT INTO YOU! HOW MANY TIMES DOES SHE HAVE TO SAY NO BEFORE YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD???? DOES SHE NEED TO SAY IT IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE OR SOMETHING???’ And continues the rant through all the other languages he knows.

And James stays silent the whole time with this love struck expression while this twink screams at him.

And Lily gets the peace she deserves.

I’m sorry but Regulus is the strawberry daiquiri to James’ piña colada I don’t make the rules here

That doesn’t matter!!!! Just do it because you want to and if people like it that’s just a bonus

How would you all feel if I did a Wolfstar/Marauders through Hogwarts story? Kinda like “All the Young Dudes” except not as good XD, no one can beat all the young dudes MsKingBean89 is a literal genius. But how would you guys feel about that?

Hot take: Jack was Rose’s manic pixie dream boy

Omg absolutely do it, it’s 100% worth it

the urge to write a jegulus fanfic even tho i’m not sure it would be any good

The most well thought out analysis I’ve seen so far. Lightly touching upon each character (except for the Alaska group but who cares about them anyway), their arcs, and their relationships, and then moving into the problem with the marketing. All of it is amazing thank you for this.

Man, for a show I’ve fallen in love with and had so much anticipation for, I ended up kinda wishing I hadn’t watched vol2.

Spoilers and a huge rant under the cut

The whole time I was literally shaking with nerves about what was gonna happen to Eddie, to all of them. His last moments (the whole last two eps honestly) dragged on for what felt like hours. It wasn’t fun; it was nerve wracking. And yeah, maybe it’s my bad for getting so attached to a fictional character in a show where people die, but so what? He makes us happy in a time where things aren’t going super well, brought us comfort. If we can’t use fiction as an escape, what’s the point of it?

All that aside, I’m still disappointed about other things. El saying goodbye to Brenner and finding her strength was great, as was the whole thing with Hopper, but other than that? I spent the whole four hours dreading what was gonna happen. I feel like they took the whole “all hope is lost” thing way too far. Watching Lucas hold Max while she begged to die made me fucking sick, as did watching Eddie sacrifice himself. I hate this trend of having people guess who’s gonna die, it’s just sad. Lucas getting beaten up by Jason, who, yeah he died, but didn’t get what he deserved. He was grieving and deranged, and then he was nothing.

And like they touched on Steve’s character arc for a split second before taking ten steps back. I don’t believe that he wants to get back with Nancy because he keeps finding new people in his life, new experiences that change his worldview. Why go back to a girl that is hung up on someone else? This isn’t even a steddie thing- they could’ve touched on his growth without involving her. He’s someone who protects people now, who keeps putting others before himself and doesn’t stop fighting no matter what. Maybe he doesn’t even need a canon relationship to find worth and value. The dream with the kids was cute, but he’s so much more than some guy who can save the world but can’t move on from his first love. I want them to have love for each other, but they both need more.

And man, Nancy and Jonathan are really dragging on. I like them as a couple, really! But couldn’t they have other conflict? Or keep the conflict without involving Steve? All that buildup for them to lie to each other about how good they are, it just doesn’t make sense. I expected Jonathan to tell her the truth about college, or have him circle back to thinking about what it would look like if they kept holding on.

And yeah, Robin and Vicki at the end was just some hetero “we don’t know how to write queer relationships” bullshit. Just because they’re both girls and can have things in common doesn’t mean they need to be the same person. Robin deserves better than that, even someone who knows what she’s been through (winking at you ronance shippers).

I knew Byler wasn’t gonna happen, but man, they really couldn’t have had Will and Jonathan have a better conversation? Even at the end? It’s like “everyone knows so it doesn’t need to be said” but why not?? How is Will any different from Robin, who is somehow the only character who can openly talk about her queerness? Because he’s a boy? Because he’s young and in love with his best friend? I don’t wanna watch him cry in the back of the van with Mike if they’re not gonna have some kinda resolution.

I am gonna keep talking about Eddie, actually. His death was wretched, yeah. But the thing that breaks my heart is that now his name is tainted beyond death, and the people who loved him are silenced and pushed to the side. The Munson Murders, what a tragic end for a character who was so loving, so kind and gracious to everyone around him. And how are the writers gonna act like no one else in the group is bothered by his supposed death? They got to know Eddie, they risked everything to save him, and you can’t tell me that it’s business as usual after all that. If he is dead, it’s the worst insult to his memory. Ya know what’s better than dying a hero? Getting justice! Living to see another day with the people who love you! He could’ve become a braver person if he lived and he was already a fucking hero, because just like Steve, he cares about the kids. I can’t imagine what Dustin will go through and I really don’t want to.

So yeah. I know that the writers won’t see this, but I hope with enough pushback they’ll revive his character. If they can do it with Brenner after having his brain turned to mush, they can do it with Eddie after getting the same wounds as Steve. Especially after El brought Max back from the dead.

And man don’t even get me started on Netflix feeding into the Eddie love the whole time, it feels so vicious of them. Rbing steddie fanart and acting like his character was going somewhere. Like we get that little tidbit about Eddie’s dad teaching him to hotwire a car and for what? To never see him again? I don’t believe it.

Okay, I need to stop. Thanks for reading, I’ll be writing a fix-it fic within the next few days <3

I feel like Sirius drinks fruity cocktails while Regulus drinks wine. They both like to act like classy motherfuckers when drinking. All their friends have seen them sloshed out of their minds at some point so none of them take them too seriously.

And when they’re drunk Sirius will turn to anyone and start screaming, “I love you so much you’re so pretty, not as pretty as Moony but no one can be as pretty as Moony. He’s my boyfriend by the way, you HAVE to meet him. Where’d you get your shirt? Can I try it on? Yes right now. OH HI JAMES!!!!!”

Regulus just sits in the corner giggling the whole time. When he sees James (and/or Barty if you like) he just openly stares at them. Like, wide eyed, open mouthed, hands holding his cheeks staring.

Sirius: my brother and I get along really well

James: you- you just shoved him into the wall and called him stupid?

Sirius: . . . you clearly don’t understand sibling relationships
