marauders fans: we separated the art from the artist, this fandom is completely separate from the source material;
also them, will degrade any writer who doesn't write a coffee shop au, or university au, or jegulus in the only acceptable grumpyboyxsunshineboy trope, bullying artists for drawing sirius with body hair, bullying writers for not writing your exact headcanons, not allowing for people to grow their own opinions (aka. making ATYD the "intro-fic"), and not supporting artists and writers who are not the fandoms "it-person" for the week.
Bro at this point give it back to that ugly terf.
Barty Crouch Jr, certified slut

Nah frrr in the process of making an OC about it
Girldad James Supremacy
so is anyone gonna talk about how james potter has girldad vibes
(Daniel Sharman as Remus Lupin makes sooo much sense, in my head. I mean he is soggy, wet dog of a man like Remus. He plays a werewolf on Teen Wolf. He has the hair, and if cocky, cool Remus is your thing he can pull that off too. Also there's a pic of him in a cowboy hat for all the Cowboy!Remus going on rn)
Hes an old man at heart and he always has been
He's very awkward, like if it weren't for the marauders he'd probably have like no friends
He actually gets along with everybody despite the facts he's awkward as hell
Became friends with The Pantheons/Slytherin Skittles/The Emeralds (whatever your preferred term is) after the prank
Light Academia aesthetic
He looks so funny sitting there wearing his light clothes next to them in all their dark ones
Still as cute as ever
He is not the smartest marauder
I mean in book sense yes but absolutely nothing else
He's awkward as fuck, and he's about as creative as a piece of cardboard
He's not emotionally intelligent either he gets even more awkward when people start crying
He has some psychological/ mental intelligence but not much
He's become best friends with Evan and Regulus
Barty reminds him a lot of James and he's thankful for that because he really missed James
He didn't talk to Sirius for months after the prank
Didn't talk to James either as he was on Sirius' side
Remus had expected it but it still hurt
Peter was there though and he'll forever be grateful for that
When he finally did start talking to James again it was like nothing had ever happened, but when he started talking to Sirius again everything was different
Remus' words were calloused, and cold he hadn't called Sirius padfoot or pads since the prank
Sirius hated that
Hated Snape even more after the prank too
His favorite color is actually brown, he says it's green to seem less boring but that's actually his second favorite color
Smokes Marlboro Light 100s
Fav class is Astronomy but best class is DADA
He's thoughtful and very, very observant
His fav muggle candy is Mr. Goodbar's
Tried on Sirius' leather jacket once and wants to get one of his own now
Really enjoys being the little spoon but he's so tall (that's why Barty is a good snuggle buddy)
Love Languages are Quality Time and physical touch
He prefers to receive physical touch and just spend time with you bc he doesn't really know how else to express himself
Mama's boy just like James
But he really loves his dad too
He fucking loves dinosaurs
So does Peter, they can talk about them for hours
Remus and Peter are variants of each other
Remus is a nerd from hell 😭
It's ok he's cute tho
Remus is naturally left handed but he learned to write with his right hand bc writing of the superstition that surrounds it
James and McGonagall are the only ones who know
So everyone thinks Remus has super shitty handwriting, when it's actually really good
He writes very small and neat
Didn't actually make up with Sirius until there were only a couple months left in their last year
Now in many fanfics he’s the betrayer. The one who killed Jily in a car crash or fucked over his friends online, or just messed with the others lives.
Let’s take a moment to consider that Peter was in a war. As a child. He was 21 when he made this decision.
This is a Peter who grew up with James and got replaced in a day by Sirius. A Peter whose own parents and James and Sirius all implied that he was below them, until he started to copy them so they accept him.
This is a Peter who watched James and Sirius be cruel and mean and awful to anyone who crossed their path that wasn’t exactly like them.
This is a Peter who got put in Gryffindor by the hat as a hope that the courageous people there would bring out the best in him, and inspire the good.
This is a Peter who was taught to be mean and petty and hate anyone who disagreed with them by those very same Gryffindors.
A Peter who watched as James and Sirius pretended to accept Remus, but never truly did. A Peter who hated the way James acted around Lily, who hated Sirius’ jealously, who hated how Remus didn’t care enough to stop them.
A Peter who was taught he was luckily for his friends. That he had to be perfect or everyone would leave. Despite being kind to them all, he only ever felt conditional love.
A Peter who grew and resented and then was hit with a final blow. He was made secret keeper. Because no one would ever think Jily would trust their barely friend Peter with this. The person James fucking grew up with would never ever be made their secret keeper.
And then they suspected Remus. The boy who punched when he was hurt and couldn’t kill a bug and let the girls cry on his shoulder despite not understanding how they felt. A Remus who James and Sirius never fully accepted as a werewolf, not truly, because if they did, the wouldn’t have suspected him as the mole. The Remus that Peter spent all those times he was left out with. Because those two understood that feeling.
A Peter who wasn’t with Remus during the war because Remus was a werewolf. Who went on order missions and spent his other time alone. Who couldn’t bare to be around anyone after they started doubting him.
A Peter who didn’t spend as much time around baby Harry, because James forgot to invite him. A Peter who Lily never liked because she never tried to see him for him. A Peter who didn’t understand what Voldemort was trying to do, but felt the resent and pain and anguish from being alone during the hardest times of the war.
A Peter who didn’t see the difference between a blood traitor cursing awful scars onto a pureblood for their beliefs, opposed to a pureblood cursing pain onto a blood traitor for their beliefs. “Why is it ok for us to attack them, but not for them to attack us?”
Who gave in to the temptation to not be in danger and to take out all the long lasting anguish he felt. Who didn’t think it through.
A Peter who probably never meant to frame Sirius. Never meant to leave Remus alone. A Peter who saw what he did and panicked. Became the thing he’d first become to help a friend. A friend who he’d just left alone.
A Peter who then had to spend 12 years as a rat. Remembering that this is always what he was supposed to be, this is his animagus form after all. Remembering every “wormtail” joke and every mocking laugh behind his back and then seeing James’ dead face over and over.
This Peter went too far to come back. This Peter fell all the way into Voldemorts hands because he was a bad person now and he hated himself for it. A Peter who deep inside… wanted Sirius and Remus to kill him that day. Who looked into his friends eyes and saw 12 years of Azkaban and 12 years of loneliness.
A Peter who died to his own hand… because truly he died the second he chose to join Voldemorts army, he did this all to himself.
Because it is his fault for betraying them. And then lying for 12 years. For handing a death certificate to a child.
But it isn’t his fault for breaking. For growing up entirely alone. For everyone who hated him before they knew him. Who hated his facade that he only invented to be liked.
For only ever receiving conditional love.
And in a world without war I wholeheartedly feel Peter Pettigrew wouldn’t be the bitch who outed Sirius to his mother, or the guy who caved to the University bully conveniently named Tom Riddle.
This was a war. This was loneliness.
(Oh and side note: God forbid JKR ever writing a chubby character as a good fucking person.)
I don’t particularly like canon Peter. I don’t like the decisions he made or the way he didn’t stand up for himself.
But if we’re going to say Sirius and James included him in everything. If we’re going to idealise their world or write a modern au. Peter fucking Pettigrew HAS to at least be insanely screwed over and isolated for him to betray his friend.
BECAUSE HE WASN’T WEAK! He was never fucking weak. He never caved in fear. He caved in deep fucking hatred. He caved in conditional love and second place trophies and emotional intelligence that was never understood. He wasn’t weak.
He was broken.
