Just an unfriendly reminder that pantsing someone is sexual assault even in the 70s and people have previously been prosecuted for it as a form of sexual harassment against children so.....even if it wasn't done sexually, it is indecent exposure and a fucking humiliating thing to do and to say it's not SA is factually incorrect.

au where Aang gets told he's the Avatar (and subsequently frozen) at 16 like he was supposed to.... I think it would change a lot honestly

watching Heroes Rising after what happened in chapter 431 feels so different *sobs*

girls!

If you're a Snape fan, you've probably had that moment scrolling through some Marauders posts and thought: Did these fans even read the books? Or maybe you've come across those wild comments where Snape gets turned into some kind of full-on villain, while James and Sirius get treated like flawless, saint-like heroes.

It’s like they’re talking about a totally different Harry Potter series! Sometimes, you’ve gotta wonder—do they even know what really happened in the story? Are we even talking about the same James Potter here? And honestly, comments like this kind of answer that question:

A lot of Marauders fans (not all, but definitely some) have no clue what really went down with the Marauders and Snape, who they really were, or what role they actually played in the story.

They’re just here because, let’s be real, the Marauders fandom is super appealing. It’s full of people their age, with tons of fantasy, drama, epic fanfics, hot character fan-casts, tragic love stories, and endless TikTok edits, roleplays, and cosplays. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it makes you feel like you belong to something special.

With all this awesome fan content, why would anyone go out of their way to actually read the books and face the not-so-glamorous truth? The Marauders in the books are mostly about petty fights, bullying, and not much in the way of exciting, romantic storylines.

And that’s exactly why the hate for Snape has gotten so intense. Snape doesn’t fit the dreamy, tragic aesthetic they’re looking for. He’s basically just there to be the “bad guy,” so they have someone to hate and blame everything on. That way, their perfect heroes get to stay flawless, and Snape can just be the villain in their headcanon.

I have a more comprehensive post here about the (rebranding of the Marauders and, consequently, the need to villainize Snape)

the gang’s all here we’re like so fucking back

sorry not sorry. i love their dynamic

It's a shame Harry never met anyone the Marauders bullied at school - the boy whose head they blew out (I couldn't find his full name, but he was Aubrey, I think?), the ones they cursed in the corridors out of boredom. Someone other than Snape that Harry (and the reader) is biased towards. Like someone from the Ministry or an Auror he had to deal with. Harry learns that this person went to school with his father and expects to hear praise, stories about how great James was at school, how cool he played Quidditch, what a hero he was, etc., but what he gets is something like:

"Oh, that motherfucker... Inflated my head like a balloon. I had to go to St. Mungo's after that! Do you see this scar? I got it from your father. He was a total asshole."
