Crimson Rivers - Blog Posts

Hot Girl Summer is reading soul-shattering fanfiction about dead gay wizards from the 70s.

when they say "I love you" but crimson rivers regulus said "I loved you from the start, I love you now, and I'll love you for as long as love is something that exists - and, if it stops exisiting, I'll reinvent it just for you"

It’s not even funny the effect that Marauders fan-fiction had on me is crazy.

Like, I’m watching the first Deathly Hallows movie and seeing Remus Lupin genuinely feels like a punch in a gut.

Like, all I can see is that little boy that was begging for death in Madam Pomfrey’s arms after a bad full moon.

All I can see is wannabe gangster teenager from The Cadence of Part-time Poets.

All I can see is the twelve year old boy that was able to get Sirius and Narcissa out of an engagement.

All I can see is a capital slave who fell in love with a mentor during the hunger games and helped start and fight a revolution

All I can see is the sad little boy that goes through the craziest things in every universe

does anyone ever stop and think about how rosekiller never met in crimson rivers?

i think i remember reg telling evan about barty (i might be wrong but idk) (and maybe not like his name perse but like reg talking about his only friend from home).

barty did know about evan since the games were televised and also reg telling b about e.

but they never got to know each other.

also why is nobody talking about barty and his death? i love evan and his death broke my heart but i was kinda preparing myself for it -cause he was like rue’s character.

but barty’s that shit broke my soul, man. i was so awful and gruesome and painful and just when he was going to get help they took them and he bleed out in the car.

and he was such a good friend for reg too.

Im going to be rereading crimson rivers…. Thoughts and prayers would be helpful, thank you

i caught up to the last chapter and now i feel like an empty shell

starting crimson rivers today pray for me

Perhaps my favorite thing about Crimson Rivers is that it makes Regulus Black canonically a Katniss Everdeen variant

Sirius = Haymitch

James = Peeta

Regulus = Katniss

Crimson rivers core

Crimson Rivers core

Regulus: I’ll kill you

James: You want to fuck me sooo bad

Regulus:*pulls out a knife*

James:

if i ever had amnesia, i think the first thing i’d do would be read all the fics i have bookmarked on ao3. getting a second chance to read them for the first time? sign me up.

my moms watching the hunger games and all i can think of is crimson rivers… 🙁

I still get insane emotional whiplash when I hear that first little bit of violin of Would You Fall in Love with Me Again in my Crimson Rivers playlist even though I WAS THE ONE THAT MADE THE DAMN PLAYLIST.

I'd like to present my findings of how marauders coded so, SO many songs by The Crane Wives are:

Time Will Change You is incredibly Crimson Rivers (post the first arena) coded.

CRIMSON RIVERS IS OVER YALL

as a percy jackson fan and a marauders fan i see solangelo and i see jegulus and i go 'oH mY gOdS tHaTs ThE sAmE tHiNg WdYm???'

and im RIGHT

i genuinely cant think about crimson rivers without feeling completely sick to my stomach and tearing up its like reflex it truly changed my life.

fun fact i finished crimson rivers right before my therapy appointment and i went in there eyes red heart broken in a state of dissociation and she thought it was over my family but no. i was emotionally distraught over two gay men who fought through hell and death arenas to get to each other and have a family and not be a great big tragedy.

i think reading crimson rivers as my first jegulus fic and then choices did something irreparable to my psyche.

no bc crimson rivers is my roman empire.

it’s been like 7 months since i finished it for the first time and i KID YOU NOT i think about it everyday.

stays living rent free in my head

can we have a moment for molly prewett in cr??that girl didn’t even fucking blink before joining the order, she ATTACKED dorcas because she was so distraught about her brothers, she knew that they were killed for being in the order and SHE JUMPED AT THE CHANCE ANYWAY

i’m re reading crimson rivers

and the sheer amount of fucking depth in this god damn book will never fail to surprise me. i swear every few pages a new thing pops up i had forgotten, because the layers are just NEVER ENDING

I told myself I wasn’t going to read crimson rivers until it was completed thinking I had at least until the summer till it was done only the find out that it’s one update away from being finished and now I have to decide wether I want to start reading it now risking me neglecting my schoolwork in favor of reading it for the next month or wait and save it till summer time like I have originally planned. Either way whenever I start it, I know it’s going to take over my every waking thought and idk if I’m prepared for that.

Thinking back a few months ago when I was reading Crimson Rivers for the first time at the same time I was reading The Hunger Games for the first time in school.

i was constantly like

"This happened in Crimson Rivers!"

in my head, in school

I actively feel myself going back to my coping skills from 2020 like girl wydm your gonna stay up for 36 hrs reading wolfstar fanfic. I’ve read more fanfic in the last two weeks than I have in the last TWO YEARS.

Still devastated but at least Marlene and Dorcas got to get married and live the happily ever after that was stolen from them in Crimson Rivers

Im tired of pretending that im over crimson rivers, its been a couple months since i finished and i still think about it daily

NO BC AFTER I READ "no one ever thinks to look up until there's a sound" MY LIFE HASN'T BEEN THE SAME

Evan. Evan no. EVAN. SARCASTIC TREE BOY. NO.

I thought i was gonna be single forever bc no one would be able to match my freak

Now my boyfriend kisses my hand every single day because i explained what that means in crimson rivers.

NEVER LOSE HOPE

Being in the marauders fandom is so crazy to me bc i wanna talk about it but i cant do that whenever i want.

Like one of those "say a quote from your fav character and ill guess who It is" except i cant actually do that bc i would have to comment something like "you're hesitating, love"
