The Marauders Fandom - Blog Posts
Associating Kate Bush’s Army Dreamers with the Black brothers fills me with a sort of pain I can’t even describe.
I’ve always imagined it in Sirius’ perspective, because despite the fact they both had parents we know deep down they are not the ones who raised the two. Sirius has been a father figure to Regulus since he could remember, and Sirius was most likely taken care of by a house elf or nanny.
Regulus turning to the Dark Lord didn’t change that, he would always be Sirius’ little brother- the one he tried to pull away with him when he realised how bad his parents views actually were. When he suspected Regulus of being a spy for The Order.
His death broke a part of Sirius irreparably, when he heard the news he probably couldn’t believe it. Even if Dorcas was likely the one who told him. No one would want to believe their little brother, the boy they raised, is gone.
Only because he got Involved with a war neither of them wanted to be a part of, and not to mention dead because of it. It was Regulus’ dream to be a part of The Order, Dumbleldore’s army. He didn’t want to be defined by bigotry anymore.
Regulus was an Army Dreamer, and if Sirius could turn back time he’d crush that dream beneath his feet and take them away from it all. Regulus didn’t make it to his 20’s. His life was wasted for the ‘greater good’. They were child soldiers, not because either wanted to fight.
They were soldiers because they had no other people to give their lives to.

Fuck this person in particular, because I still have more to say that cannot be hidden away in a comment section. If you accuse me of being a J.K Rowling supporter when I’ve went as far as to burn the books I’ve had since childhood and drop life long friends over funding her bigotry by still visiting filming sights and buying merchandise I have a right to speak about it. Especially when they’re still watching the films on streaming sights and planning to watch the new series.
So here I am, addressing my need because it was so sweetly implied and not at all a condescending threat.
Despite popular belief fandoms like The Marauders have little to no connection with the main series other than the names of said characters. Taking part in The Marauders fandom brings J.K Rowling no profit, and considering the fact a majority of these characters have been used as outlets to express queer issues (and likely still will when people move onto the next big thing, forgetting about trans rights in the UK entirely) I see no issue in it.
By taking part in this fandom I am not screaming my support to a known bigot, I am simply connecting with other LGBTQ+ people and minorities who needed a template to express themselves through. The Marauders fandom is that template for me and for many.
I myself am a queer trans man, and I’ve been aware of my true self since I was 13. You cannot even imply I do not support my trans sisters, brothers, and siblings when ones in the past have given their lives for us to live now. Do not paint me to be some bigoted prick with your little question.
I’m in the UK. I’m in the country she actively harmed with her blood money. Do you think it makes me happy, to know I can’t go outside without being unsafe because transphobes take this new law as a reason to act against us with violence? No. I fucking don’t.
I’ve been hate-crimed before. I’ve almost been jumped for being myself, so don’t you or anyone else dare treat me and others like an inferior trans person for being in a fandom that has hated the author before this news even came out.
And I am so sorry, for taking comforts where I can; knowing my life has just gotten unchangeably harder because of a court bribe. I will paint characters she has no care for as LGBTQ+ people, because I fucking can, because it’s natural for me to react to this news with all the spite I can muster.
So again, fuck you and stop policing people on an online space. You want to make a real impact? Protest, sign petitions, spread the word to family and friends. Despite it making you feel miles better starting things with strangers on the internet who by the way, have no way to get the message across to J.K Rowling; if you want to spread this message over the internet gather a group and confront her- for fucks sake, even hack her. Don’t attack people who don’t support her.
Sirius Black
marauders era characters by my daylist:
lily evans
Why are people so delusional when it comes to the hp or marauders era fandom? Every single time I look up jily or jily supremcy in tiktok it's always some jegulily/ jegulus BS like some of y'all are deep in the delusion and headcannons. Why are people trying to replace Lily? Why are ppl making Sirius this super feminine man when he's not that? Why are ppl making Remus super aggressive? And making James the literal devil towards snape and then a people pleaser towards everyone else. And peter non existent? What are y'all doing!?
These are not the same characters any more. Once again the whole theme of hp/ marauders is love. James and Lily loving each other despite the danger that comes with it. They love Harry and Harry loves them. The marauders being best friends in school. The golden trio. The grief that came for Sirus, Remus, and Harry regarding James and Lily . The betrayal of Peter. This story isn't about DE and their "sad, horrendous" back stories. It's about Lily, James and Harry.
Shipping James or Lily with any DE character requires you to ignore their morals and ideologies against the pure blood DE characters to make it work. You would have to change everything about them.
Lily and James died for their son. They most likely knew the risk of having a baby, getting married, staying together but they did it anyway. James, a pure blood wizard put a target on his own back just because he was in love with a muggle born woman. Lily already had a target on her back when she came to Hogwarts.
These DE characters can be down right sadistic and evil and some ppl will still ship these characters. In reality these characters would kill each other on sight. And some will say "it's all fake anyway, let people ship" but that's the problem
Fiction relates to reality. Stories, poems, movies are all related to real situations, people, places and ideas, that's why some people can see themselves in certain stories. And by making these problematic ships, some ppl think it's cool and okay to let these situations happen irl.
It's not just shipping, it's an idea that could turn into action.
Lily and James are so important and ppl that don't like them don't understand them. Like without them Harry wouldn't exist. There literally wouldn't be a story. James and Lily being together went against everything the DE pure bloods believed in. Having a kid together was an act of defiance. James and Lily marrying each other despite a whole war going on is like the bravest thing they could've done. The point is Lily and James are the base, the standard, the originals.
I drew Lily Evans again (if it looks blurry that’s intentional)
If Harry’s parents came back alive (like 3rd or 4th year) somehow I think it would be a little funny or awkward with James meeting Harry than Lily meeting Harry. Like Harry has lily’s personality and would hit it off with her real quick. They could relate to each other better. (Especially regarding Petunia and her attitude towards magic). But with James I think it’ll be something different. Like imagine you’re Harry and you’ve been told over and over how much you look like your dad (except the eyes) and suddenly you get to meet him but with like nothing in common except the sport you play. I feel like James would honestly be kind of awkward and not know what to say to his son (not knowing what he’s heard- snape) and Harry would either be just shocked, in awe or I don’t know really happy? Sirius and lily would probably urge them to talk or bond or whatever.

What are y'all opinions on desi James Potter or Harry Potter? And why?
I won’t judge you based on your looks but I will however judge you based on your pjo cabin, toh coven, hp house, mbti personality type, favourite doctor, favourite season of ahs, favourite skam character, favourite tua character, favourite greek myth, favourite life series member, favourite book, favourite movie, favourite tv show, and favourite music artist.
My favourite part of being in the Marauders fandoms is how not chill all of us are. Like I have never meet a ‘casual’ Marauders fan, it’s always some crazy mental shit. I need that kind of dedication in every fandom I’m in
“A beautiful Lily sticking out from all the other flowers as the sun shines softly onto it, feeding it with so much admiration and adoration but like mother nature, beautiful flowers like her don’t last long enough underneath the love of the sun” WTFNDJJXBDBDB LIKE ?????? Jily?!
“They call them star-crossed lovers for the reason being, they were made for the sky and only then will they both be free to love each other, for the sun and the stars finally meet and continue where they left off, only now they have eternity of dancing and shining freely like they were always meant to be” EXCUSE ME WTFNDNDNDNND????!???
james being the epitome of the “it’s coming home” england fan and regulus (even though he is british) supporting spain just to get on his nerves even though he knows nothing about football

My Marauders Headcanons Pt. 2 ~ Sirius Orion Black
Loves sour candy
Isn't really sure if he's a pure blood supremacist or not
He'd like to say he is as it distances himself from his family but he's truly not sure
If you're close to him it doesn't matter if you're a muggle born, a half blood, or a pure blood but if you're not then he can say some pretty nasty things be it as a joke or not
Smooth mf talker
Oh my good
He has a very charming, very nice laugh
His voice is smooth but also has this slightly raspy roughness which paired with his accent is extremely hot
Would've been a momma's boy if he could've
Punk Sirius black
Can actually cook really well
Cherry flavored things are his bbg
Biased towards Slytherin's bc not only are they going to be at least somewhat like his family Slytherin house also houses Snape
His alcohol of choice is tequila
Sleeps naked
Will throw a fucking bitch fit if he gets too hot
He has back dimples
And regular dimples
He has really flawless pale skin aside from his face where he has a few moles and ofc his tattoos
He's very toned and lean
His first tattoo was a sun in between his shoulder blades he didn't know why but when he got home, home where it was always cold and the people there were too he knew. He'd gotten for James, James who was always warm, James who's eyes and smile always shone so brightly, James who was the center of Sirius world, James who was the sun.
He was kicked out after he came home from getting the tattoo; drunk, and high off his mind, and worst of all ignoring his mother. To say Walburga had disapproved of his body modification was the understatement of the millennium. Sirius didn't even care so Walburga decided to make him care
Contrary to popular belief this was the first time things had ever gotten physical, Walburga had decided to give him a body modification he'd disapprove of
She grabbed the knife off the kitchen table and made her way over to Sirius who was basically delirious with laughter before realizing something foul was bound to take place. He began running up the stairs but that didn't stop his mother before he could get too far Walburga had grabbed hold of his collar and began cutting. Sirius thrashed and cried and begged for her not to cut his hair but she did anyway, she didn't even care for the cuts she left on him as he tried to get her to stop
When she was done she simply told him he wasn't her son anymore
She wanted nothing to do with him
And Sirius begged for something he didn't even know what for
He doesn't like shaving but he prefers to be free of hair
He's French, Russian, English, and Romanian
He likes to paint his nails black
Sirius LOVES shiny things
Like they make him so happy and giddy
Sirius also LOVES his motorbike
His favorite article of clothing is his leather jacket which is somehow still in pristine condition despite the fact Sirius basically wears it in the shower he has it on so much
Loves jewelry
Winter is his fav season
His love language is actually quality time closely followed by physical touch
He's very affectionate after he loves and trusts you completely
Despite all the abuse he suffered with his family Sirius actually really misses his mom bc she wasn't all bad
Walburga suffered the same abuse as a child and after Sirius found that out it made things even harder for him because she knew
She knew what it felt like to have this happen and she still chose to do this to him
Sirius was actually her favorite son and one of the ways she would punish him was giving all her attention to Regulus whilst giving him the cold shoulder
That always broke Sirius and he'd beg for his mother's forgiveness and attention
Sometimes if Walburga was feeling nice and his father wasn't home which was rarely ever but it did happen occasionally Walburga would allow Sirius to crawl in bed with her and lie his head on her chest while she combed her fingers through his hair
Despite the affection this still hurt Sirius because she'd never look at him, and she wouldn't even acknowledge when he spoke to her. Never returning his declaration of love so he learned to accept her seldom affection in silence
Walburga was somehow even harsher after these times as she learned to view love and affection as a weakness
Chronic ice eater
Loves music
Extremely talented singer
His mother forced him to learn piano and he hates that he likes it
Taught himself to play the guitar
He has a little book where he writes out songs, he's embarrassed of them and the only person who even knows about it is James
Suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and James has been his FP for fucking ever
He also suffered from Survivor's guilt thinking about what happened to Regulus after he left
His relationship with James is way passed platonic but it's also not romantic either
He has very thin patience and gets frustrated quickly
Speaks French, Latin, and Russian fluently
Sirius hates labels
If you're his, your his
If he likes you, he likes you
That's just Sirius
this took me waaayyy longer that it should have
not sure what to make of the background but oh well...
James potter my beloved <3
