What about Regulus “I would live for you“ Black

Everyone always says James "I would die for you" Potter and Regulus "I would kill for you" Black

But I think James "I would kill for you" Potter and Regulus "I would die for you" Black has so much force

Like James is not a violent person but would become violent for the ones he love in an instant, and Regulus is a martyr, a tragedy, but at the same time he would only sacrifice himself for the ones he truly loved in every circumstances

Honestly, the most girl boss moment around is when James hears Regulus say they're engaged, has no idea that he was and just fucking rolls with it. Bro went from being the confused pikachu to YOLO.

people look over my screen and be like what are you reading and how do i explain that its about harry potter's dad and his godfather's younger twink brother exploring their knife kink as a whole revolution unfolds around them

James Potter ☀️

James would never weak jackets without someone insisting him to. He would never be cold or freeze, not even during the deepest snow.

Why? Well, first of all, he’s always hot. Second, he’s basically the sun.

How could he get cold as long as the sun didn’t collapse?

Marauders fandom really said “delulu is the solulu“

Walburga‘s toxic love

I don’t think Walburga Black hated her children (or particular Sirius). I think she was a cruel person nonetheless but her way of raising her children was (in her opinion) an act of love. She wanted them to turn into respected men and thought she could only reach that goal by teaching them her twisted view of life and do to them what (be as brutal as) her parents did to her because she turned out to be a madly respected woman so why wouldn’t those methods not work on her children too?

I don’t believe Sirius was ever able to feel true happiness after James death because he really dependent on him. He learned trough James how he can be happy and himself, so without him there's a missing part. James on the other hand would be able to handle the loss of Sirius because he is emotional independent (thanks to the normal education of his parents). Certainly, he would slowly heal but he would and someday he could feel true happiness again in the world without Sirius even if he would never believed that he can live with the loss of his soul mate.

Walburga never intended to disown Sirius.

Walburga never wanted to appoint Regulus as spare heir.

She raised Sirius to be the heir of the noble and most ancient house of black.

The weird contrary of Regulus’ characterisation: either he’s the spare heir, always the second choice to Sirius or the preferred son, whose parents really loved him (or at least more than Sirius)

Happy Birthday Prongs 🫶🫶🛐🛐

Agree. Agree with every point. Though I like jegulus and jily both, James as an individual character is massively underrated even there is so much more to explore (but my fav fic will still be Crimson Rivers).

Marauder girls need more attention!! They have so much potential!!

I can see why they don’t have as much fans as the boys right now. It’s because of 1) their insignificant on the main plot and 2) the lack of solid characterisation they have. As examples, there’s shy/loser Peter, book nerd Remus, brave/messy James and dramaqueen/cool Sirius. Of course, they are more than just two word and they’re different every and each time but it’s the basis. The girls doesn’t have these kind of solid characterisation. As example, there’s sometimes loud Mary who gives a f on everything and sometimes she’s a soft girl. We don’t recognise her (and the other girls) in fics as we recognise the boy‘s character traits. It‘s a solvable problem, it only needs time to explore their characters and accept as one community a basis for a characters who was just a name. Then, the girls will finally have the same amount of fans as the boys.

marauders era (very?) unpopular opinions

i don't really Iike the rockstar-ified regulus characterization. i feel like he's been sort of sirius-fied and, while i am all for different characterizations and different viewpoints on certain characters, i, for one, can't see regulus as that. (i can go in depth about my view and characterization of regulus in dms, if anyone wants to hear it.)

this might not be as unpopular, but i do not mind the transfem sirius headcanon. while i do not headcanon it myself, i've made a post about it in which i explained my stance on it.

i love remus lupin with all my heart, but if i had to pick a least favorite marauder, he would be my choice. in my opinion, he is slightly overrated and, to be honest, the least interesting marauder. james has so much unexplored potential, sirius is a dilemma in his own, and peter's betrayal and dynamic with other characters pre and post betrayal is something so intriguing to me. remus is certainly an interesting read in his own, i just prefer the others more.

atyd is not the best fic this fandom has. of course, it's well-written and, despite the characters not fully aligning with my view of them, it really is tied into the 70s, which is something i always look for in fics. however, the use of slurs really put me off and, generally, despite atyd being a good fic, i have read far better than it.

james has only become popular recently because of jegulus and, if you go in the james potter tag, a lot of the posts are, in a way or another, related to jegulus. i've seen the same phenomenon with jily, though to a smaller extent, and, to some, it seems like james is a person inherently tied to the relationships he is in, and i think that him as an individual is far more important and complex than his relationships.

this is not exactly an unpopular opinion (to some extent), but the marauders era nonmen are criminally underrated, and, in certain cases, they are more compelling than the men. seeing the fact that their characters are so unexplored, that leaves a lot of space for people to be creative and work around certain characters, each character in different people's grasp.

tying into the former, there is no right way to "create" a certain character. differences of opinion will always exist, regardless if it is a fandom opinion or not. certain ways to characterize a certain character. tying into my first opinion, just because i do not like that way of portraying regulus does not mean that other people don't. some people agree will agree with me, and some people won't, and that is absolutely fine. my cup of tea is not everyone else's, too.

this is not exactly an opinion that is tied into the marauders, but it is, to some extent. i do believe that lyall was a good father. not the best, admittedly, but i do believe he tried his best to offer remus a decent life and, as much as i hate citing canon, there is canon evidence for it. i do choose to ignore canon, though, and the characterization of lyall that i am fully in love with is the characterization of a flawed man that is trying his best to be a good person. again, tying in the former point, no one is forced to agree with me.

James, realising Peter was the traitor: How couldn’t I see you were suffering?

James, who feels like his emotions aren’t valid because his all of friends had it worse

Why is Remus so often portrayed as a genius in fanfics, but Sirius and James are not?

Sirius taught Harry how to comfort someone because James wasn’t able to

I hardly find any fanarts of Lily and James‘ last moments. I thought there would be more because it’s basically the reason of why Harry Potter is like Harry Potter. Not just the person but the whole universe
