You Know What I Can't Get Over About The Angst The Marauders Fandom Has For The Prank?

Who feels more morally grey to you or a worse person: Snape or Sirius?

I don’t think there’s such a thing as being more or less grey. A character is either grey or they’re not, because when a character is established as grey, it’s done in accordance with their context and their morally conflicting actions, which can be very diverse. The narrative doesn’t treat Sirius as a grey character, but rather as a good character who has made mistakes, which is very different from Severus, who is treated as a highly ambiguous and questionable character.

The fact that we’re rational enough to see that, despite Rowling’s efforts to whitewash him, Sirius was far from being a good person because he was a bit of a jerk is another matter. The point is that their contradictions and dissonances are very different. Sirius has grey aspects because, despite his good intentions and his positive portrayal, he has a very violent attitude, has actively been a bully out of sheer boredom, has been a mediocre friend to everyone except James, preaches a set of ideals that he doesn’t practice, and holds prejudices strongly rooted in his social class. He’s a hypocrite, honestly.

Severus is a grey character because he has a terrible personality and a shady past, but despite that, he always chooses to serve a good cause even if he doesn’t want or receive recognition for it, all while having a rather difficult and complicated attitude to understand. Each of them is grey in their own way. Neither of them was genuinely a bad person deep down, but neither were they good, and each for different reasons.

I love when people go "Remus should've raised Harry" like babe he didn't want to raise his own biological son

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

wait if the jinx surviving theory is true it gets rid of the one problem i had with the finale: that letting herself die was the answer. i hate stories about suicidal characters that end up sacrificing themself for the narrative. it teaches people that dying is the answer when it never is. and i love the idea that if jinx survived it means she saved herself and deciding life was worth living and she was still deserving of it. (this also applies to timebomb if ekko was the one who convinced her of that <3)

I will never stop thinking about Scorpius Malfoy wanting to prove to the world that he isn't a bad person like everyone thinks his parents were, and I can't stop thinking about Albus Severus Potter wanting to prove to the world that he doesn't have to be a hero like his dad was.

And I can't stop thinking about them both finding one another and connecting over the shared experience of trying to prove to the world that they are their own people, trying to prove to the world that they're more than who their parents are.

Albus and Scorpius needed to meet because they needed each other.

me mentally: these characters have a relationship that cannot be defined by any one thing and reaches throughout the narrative and is so woven into their characters that trying to force it under one label would be inaccurate and doing it a disservice.

me out loud: idk man they're fuckin gay
