If they got kidnapped:

Regulus/Dorcas: brutally murders kidnappers

Barty: accidentally joins kidnappers and is now so confused

Evan: poisons kidnappers

Pandora: either reformed the kidnappers or drove them insane

I’m a top Regulus truther because there’s not enough of James: 1) being showered in unconditional love until he can’t take anymore 2) being told ‘no’ for once in his life and put in his place because let’s be honest, he’s got some arrogance issues. This man grew up spoiled beyond reason

Like if someone’s a brat there, it’s James. Regulus was brought up to be polite and composed. Quiet and observant. Never to flaunt, that’s tacky and the Blacks are all about poise. James?? POTTER??? Tell him no, he’s throwing a fit. (Then comes Regulus and has him complying with a look)

let’s normalise the fact that every single member of the slytherin skittles is psycho.

*in a life or death situation*

Dorcas: okay how the fuck do we get out of here?

Pandora: I'm working on a plan but it should take about four hours

Man: *points weapon at them*

Regulus: *survival instincts kick in and he manages to flirt his way out of the situation*

Everyone: ......

Regulus: ......

Barty: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!

Regulus: I AM JUST AS CONFUSED AS YOU ARE

Evan: please go back to being quiet and offputting, that was fucking terrifying

Dorcas: Yeah, I agree. That was weirdly attractive and I'm literally a lesbian.

Pandora: *still trying to carry out her plan to see if it would've worked*

the slytherin skittles buried a timecapsel on hogwarts grounds to open when they become teachers/visit their children

barty was the only one to open it years later

Barty is so genius but at the same time no common sense at all like he’ll get 12 OWL’s with no sweat but somehow still set water on fire

dorcas: guys if you could have a threesome with any two gryffindors, who would they be?

evan: sirius and marlene

dorcas: excuse me-

barty: lupin and evans

regulus: james and remus

pandora: lily and peter

dorcas: peter???

pandora: yes, don’t judge me. he listened to me talk about crystals and i have a soft spot for him.

barty: i chose lily cz i feel like she the typa woman to peg me.

regulus: i like tall guys

evan: marlene’s just hot. and sirius wears heels, which is an automatic smash.

dorcas *speechless*:😐

I just KNOW the tortured poets department is Regulus coded

Slytherin!Barty def has a place in my heart but the idea of Ravenclaw!Barty is also fun when you get the idea of that man tricking people into thinking he’s in slytherin by wearing Evan’s or Regulus’ slytherin tie. Plus he’s always in the slytherin dorms anyways so newer students just assume he’s a slytherin. He doesn’t bother to correct them lol

Evan: What's your favourite plant?

Barty: Tumbleweed.

Evan:

Evan: ...why?

Barty: It's just seems like such an iconic plant y'know.

Evan: It's tumbleweed.

Barty: Are you dissing the tumbleweed?

Evan *wtf*: No, of course not.

I’m sorry but everyone at school wanted Regulus. He could’ve had anyone he wanted.

A Black? Rich? Quidditch star? Hot as shit?? The confidence from being told since birth you’re better than everyone else???

Yea this man could’ve snapped his fingers as have 17 people in his vicinity undressing

Regulus: why the fuck is the couch burnt?

Barty: there was a spider on it…

Regulus: SO YOU SET THE COUCH ON FIRE?!?

Evan: it didn’t even die

Regulus: *silence*

Evan: *silence*

Barty: *silence*

Barty: I’m just a girl?

Starchaser secret relationship where the pantheon are the only ones who know and James is just friends with them all now and nobody knows that either

barty who thinks he's unlovable and his friends who will kill god for him

my unpopular marauders opinions

(i'm scared 😟)

'nothing is ooc bc we know nothing about the characters!' might work with the girl characters and the lesser known ones but it does not fly when we are talking about the marauders and other characters like barty, regulus, etc. we have so much (biased) information on these characters and you can't erase all they were in the original text bc you want to make an oc in the marauders era.

sirius is literally one of the most interesting characters in the fandom and i hate how he's been dumbed down to regulus' brother or remus' boyfriend depending on who's pov we're reading. what happened to cool sirius and why has he become a loser who follows remus around like a lapdog??? what happened to casanova sirius who all the girls were into but he never paid them any attention??? what happened to the sirius who risked his life and ran away bc he refused to become like his parents??? and why has been reduced to a whimpering mess who cries bc remus is mean to him (ooc on remus' part too). you're lying to yourselves if you think sirius wouldn't start throwing hands the moment remus insulted him. i need to write an entire separate post for this bc it makes me viscerally angry when i see him portrayed like this. who decided that giving remus all of sirius' main character traits was a good idea??

similarly, remus has become so boring. he has literally become the toxic love interest in a werewolf story please STOP IT. i'm tired of remus constantly yelling and calling other people (specifically sirius) worthless or hitting their deepest insecurities but it's all justified bc it's the full moon and he's angry and emotional. it's overdone, it's toxic, it's boring and i don't want to see it. my remus will forever be a an old sweater-wearing, bookworm people pleaser who wanted nothing more than to have friends who loved him despite who he was and he treasured them so dearly when he found them. he carried extra pens and quills in his bag because he knew peter always forgot his, he always came to james' games to cheer him on despite not being interested in quidditch. idk what you people find appealing about remus thinking sirius is a nuisance or annoying when they're dating but it's not <3 he spent years staring at sirius' back during class and being satisfied to just be in his presence because he didn't think he deserved any of it. how could he wish for more when sirius was wrapping an arm around him and whispering the plan to their newest prank? you want me to think the shy boy who looked away anytime sirius made eye contact with him was a smooth talker who found sirius annoying?? at this point he's an oc with remus' face be fr

sirius >>> regulus any day. cry about it

speaking of regulus i hate how the fandom has characterized him. you've created sirius 2.0 with his storyline (while simultaneously slandering sirius' character) and then made him an emo version of remus' already awful characterization. he's not an uwu victim who begged his brother to come with him, he was a blood supremacist who was probably overjoyed that the stain on his family tree was gone. 'i hate you but i love you' describes the black brothers perfectly but that 'but' doesn't undo the hatred they feel for each other. sibling relationship are so complex, especially in a family like theirs, and their relationship would've been turbulent. by the time sirius had ran away i fully believe the hate they felt for each other was bigger than any love they had left. regulus who is a manipulative asshole, regulus who is actively trying to get rid of sirius so he can get to be the heir he thinks he deserves to be will always be more interesting than the way regulus is written in most jegulus fics.

also james would've literally bullied regulus. it's the truth

also, let james be an asshole! let james be a bully! he was a teenager for fucks sake let him be mean and cruel! give him an ego the size of the sun and nothing else to 'make it better'. he was an only child raised in a pureblood family, i would be more surprised if he didn't turn out to be a narcissistic teenager. he was talented and spoiled and wanted everyone to agree with him bc he had never been brought down to earth from his high horse. let him be messy. i don't understand why the fandom has such a problem with complex characters

this fandom hates on severus too much while babygirl-ifying characters who have done the same or worse than him. was he an asshole? yes. was he also a really interesting character that people choose to ignore or push aside bc he's not conventionally attractive? yes. you've idolized barty and evan and regulus, characters who are also canonically death eaters and have done unforgivable things, yet you continue to hate on severus because?? i don't like him either but commenting 'stan bambi' on every single severus edit is a bit too much effort for a character you claim to not give a shit about :/

remus would NOT be friends with barty, evan and regulus. he's a loser and those three would bully him to death

'i wish people would make more marauders era girls content-' 💥💥💥make it yourself. there is PLENTLY of girls content all you need to do is look in the tags (but oh wait you can't look in the tags bc no one in this fandom has apparently heard of fandom etiquette and they're all tagging every ship under the sun on a post about jegulus. trust me, if i wanted to see jegulus content i would go in their tag. now stop tagging it with dorlene and marylily)

idk if this one is that unpopular cause i've seen it around quite a bit recently but the lupins are literally one of the best families and they are so underrated. the relationships between hope and remus and lyall and remus and the effects that remus' lycanthropy has on them is always on my mind fr. you don't need to give every character mommy/daddy issues to make them interesting or complex ❤️

the prank is SO overdone. like every post prank fic is the same shit and i'm tired. sirius felt no remorse, remus called it an unfunny prank, get over it. it can be interesting to explore (especially sirius' thoughts during it and how remus deals with the consequences of one of his best friends betraying him) but so many times the prank has just been used to justify writing remus being so so incredibly shitty to sirius and poking at his every insecurity that at this point i don't even want to read about it anymore. remus had every right to be mad but once again you're ignoring the canon characterization just to make him seem like a badass when he would absolutely not confront sirius about it.

'[girl character] is just the female version of [male character]' literally makes me want to bite someone's head off. how is it that you have time to create whole new personalities for james, sirius, remus and every other male character under the sun but lily, mary, dorcas or marlene don't get that treatment?? slapping sirius' old characterization on marlene or remus' old characterization on lily doesn't make for compelling characters but none of you care enough to actually flesh these women out and make them something more. it's no wonder people complain about them being boring when the main fanon is just slapping on a guy's personality onto them but make it misogynistic. if you can give regulus an entire backstory and justify his every action then you can give the girls some interesting character traits in your works be fr.
