People on TikTok are going on about how Simon is too obsessed with Maddie, so “obviously in love with her and she doesn’t care about him” and just saying he pisses them off—
The mischaracterization is killing. Simon loves Maddie, yes. She’s his best friend. She herself says that she was born and life went to shit but she had Simon. Maddie loves Simon, he’s her best friend. Of course he’d want her back! Of course he’s pushing everything to the side to bring her home— wouldn’t you? If your best friends body was out on a joy ride and said best friend was stuck where they ‘died’— wouldn’t you do your damnest to get the body to come back? To bring them home? If hell was real, I’d know I’d traverse it to find my best friend. I would do whatever it takes to bring them back. I’m not romantically attracted to my best friend. They are just someone I could never see myself living without. Losing them would kill me. The same way it’s killing Simon.
obsessed with learning languages, especially latin languages. he knows how to speak english (duh), french, italian, portuguese, spanish and a bit of romanian and german.
strictly aroace but he was also raised and and used to dream with the fairy tales of a perfect marriage so he had a lot of internal conflicts when he started to understand himself.
trans man but he was never able to fully express his gender as he wished due to the society standards. the only people to ever know he was trans are narcissa and barty (maybe pandora too but i think he never told her, she just had a feeling).
hes very smart (book smart at least) but he never been that great at magic. he maneges to get good grades since hes good in the theoretical part and because hes also very hardworking.
hates smoking and drinking, he thinks is stupid and useless. the first and only time his friends convinced him to drink and get drunk he spent the next day with a terrible hangover and couldn't even smell alcohol without feeling disgusted.
his favorite subject is the theoretical part of dada cuz he gets stressed when he actually have to make the spells. he also loves astronomy and history of magic.
he knows hes the favorite child and he loves it. hes also closer to walburga than orion but he loves them both.
unlike how some might think, regulus was not in favor of some kind of revolution for the house elves. just like a big part of the wizarding world, he was raised to believe that having a house elf was normal for those who can afford. he did like kreacher and treat him "well" but he still sees him as a property.
regulus shares most of his family's beliefs, including blood supremacy. at school he didn't participate in the bullying that some purebloods did to muggleborns because he was a recluse, but he still saw them as inferior and would be rude whenever he was forced to interact with one.
walburga and orion were obviously blood supremacists but they didnt like the idea of joining voldemort since it was so extreme and dangerous. regulus' desire to become a death eater was influenced by the school, as it was becoming something desired by slytherin teenagers because of the promise of power and belonging to a group (maybe by bellatrix too). so he become a deatheater by free will and his parents (although they were a little uncertain) were proud after regulus convinced them that it was something good for the family's future.

fanart for marauders secret santa!! happy holidays @lesbian-disaster-tm 🎄❤️ thank you so much for hosting @arcturism 🤸♀️
gonna be honest, dorlily is such a new concept to me bc i've always been a dorlene shipper. that said, i loveddd exploring their dynamic and the sunshine x sunshine protector vibes they give off. i apparently spent 33+ hours on this piece (the angle was hell to work with after not drawing anything for months) but i couldn't let go of the concept — it was too full of desire and softness MY LOVERGIRL ASS HAD TO DELIVER!!! i really hope you like it @lesbian-disaster-tm ❤️
hohoho,
your marauders secret santa
if theres one thing i hate the most about the jily fandom is when they headcanon that lily's hatred towards james was purely insecurity cause she didnt believed he was actually in love with her and thought it was just a joke
LIKE PLEASE STOP james was a bully and a dick, lily used to hate him cuz she only knew the worst aspects of him. pre jily angst is interesting cuz at some point lily saw other side of him that she fell for and she had to deal with the turbulent feelings that the different sides of james brings to her, not because "oh james is so popular and cool, he would never fall for someone like me" type of shit
i also like to imagine that james fell in love with lily much later than people think, around sixth year. for me, before that, he thought she was pretty but didn't like her very much. but thats just me and my headcanons based on how i feel reading their interactions in snape's worts memory, it feels more like james trying to annoy her than him actually in love
walburga black loves regulus and sirius. she loves them when she wakes up, she loves them when she sleeps, she thinks of them as a beating heart alive outside of her body. she hates when they’re in pain. she hates when they’re far away from her. she hates when they won’t talk to her. she is a mother. she loves them even when she hates them. even when love is sickly it’s still real love. she tried. she wanted to raise them right. when a mother gets everything wrong everyone is utterly unforgiving. she’s not cartoonishly evil. she’s undeniably an abusive bigot but i know plenty of women like that, and they’re loving people. she taught regulus how to make cookies from scratch. she braided sirius’ hair for him. she took care of them when they were sick. she hugged them when they cried. this doesn’t make the abuse go away. it’s part of the abuse, this back and forth between gentleness and violence. this is why sirius stayed as long as he did, and why regulus never left. her abuse is awful because she loves them. it’s tragic because she is trying so hard. abusive parents still love their kids. regulus and sirius still love her too. it’s complicated. let it be complicated.
regulus and severus who are friends but almost no one knows, not because its a secret but because they only talk from time to time, always alone so they can enjoy the quietness together.
people actually tend to assume they hate each other cuz they always seam to be insulting one another, when its actually just their sarcastic humor matching.
they're the kind of friends who can have deep, intimate conversations and then not even look at each other's faces for a whole month.
