Funny How Marauders Stans Always Come Back To The Old:

Funny how Marauders stans always come back to the old:

"And again, I never have pretended that James is this all knowing, goodie two shoes saint. You cannot deny that James does evolve and have character growth. Because i am sure that Lily would not have given him the time of day otherwise… "

- From your comments section on the recent jegulus post.

Saintess Lily in all her infinite wisdom would never marry a bully - he evolved like a pokemon and now doesn’t bully people behind her back at all, he showed his character growth by leaving his wife and child all alone while a mad man is after their heads to have fun with Sirius - cursing muggle police officers.

Oh Great Hero James Potter, your own besties must have being lying when they said that you were still bullying Snape behind Lily’s back. And Lily must have being lying in that letter when she said you were leaving her alone with the child to have fun outside while a psycho wants to k*ll your son - and Dumbledore had absolute no reason to take the Invisibility cloak, after all The Great Hero Potter must have his daily dose of fun by tormenting innocent bystanders.

Oh wait...

Ah yes, the classic “if a good woman loves you, you must be a good man” nonsense. Go say that to all the good women who ended up with abusers. I don’t think any woman chooses a man thinking he’s a piece of shit—but a lot of men are very good at hiding their true nature.

It’s canon that James lied to Lily. It’s canon that behind her back, he kept being a bully. But of course, that’s only if you’ve actually read the books. And clearly, a lot of people in that fandom haven’t—they’ve only seen the films, or worse, they’ve just skimmed fanfics and TikTok summaries. So what we end up with is a bunch of people talking like experts when they don’t know the first thing about what they’re discussing.

And honestly, there’s nothing that gets on my nerves more than people preaching like they know it all when they haven’t even done their homework.
