One thing that erks me so bad is when people play off Peter Pettigrew as the lost puppy of the Marauders or write him as always off with other people or just simply not as tight knit in the group as the rest of the boys.
THAT IS NOT TRUE! HE IS A MARAUDER HE WAS JUST AS PART OF THE GROUP AS JAMES SIRIUS AND REMUS!
That's what makes his betrayal so heartbreaking and unexpected is because Peter was their brother, he also broke the law and became an animagus in 5th year because he wanted to help his friend, he also stayed up late at night creating the map with them, he also traversed the castle under the invisibility cloak with them. He was apart of them in ever bit.
His betrayal was so devastating cause no one saw it coming, he was probably there with Sirius and Remus waiting to find out the news of when baby Harry was born. He was probably dubbed Uncle Wormtail just as Remus and Sirius were Uncle Padfoot and Uncle Moony.
He was their brother and his betrayal was as blindsided and shell shocking as if Remus or Sirius betrayed James and Lily, perhaps even more because Sirius was suspected due to his Black family heritage and Remus with his Lycanthrophy.
They must have thought oh its definitely not Peter though, Peter is as loyal ad they come, he has nothing in his life that might pull him to the death eater, and depending on which version of Marauders lore you subscribe to Peter is possibly a life long childhood friend of James, grew up down the road always did everything together.
He was the last one they'd expect to be the snitch that's why Sirius told James to make him secret keeper and why James full heartedly excepted that choice. James never would've put the life of his wife and child in the hands of someone if he didn't wholeheartedly believe they would defend them as if they were James.
That's why it's so heartbreaking and that's why everytime I read a fic that plays Peter off as a clumsy guys that just wonders around them I get a upset because that's not who he was and I don't want to take creative liberties away from anyone else but in my fics Peter will get the character he deserves (so you can all cry with me when he ultimately betrays them).
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Karma really worked its wonders with Cardan
Prince Cardan:
kicked dirt onto Jude's food
thrown Jude into a river and threatened her implicitly with drowning
threatened Jude to curse her with longing a kind word from his lips
High King Cardan:
ate dirt not to die
felt like he was drowning while Jude was under the waves
was ready to beg and grovel for a kind word from Jude

“dear sirius,
it’s been over a year since you left. i understand it, i do, and i wish i could do the same. but we don’t all get the same choices in life. and this was not one i could make.
do you remember when we were five and six, and i wanted to climb onto the roof? you found me hanging out the window and dragged me back in. i think you saved my life. i hope you know that the floo was me paying it back.
i don’t understand why you won’t talk to me. well, i say that, i do understand it, but i wont pretend it doesn’t sting. just because i can’t show it, doesn’t mean i don’t feel it. you know better than anyone how i work.
by the time you get this, it’ll be too late, and that’s how i’ve planned it. don’t try any stupid heroics, sirius. that’s not how our story works. dumbledore is too dangerous, you have to listen to me. go back to grimmauld place, and get the box out of my room. it’ll explain everything. please make sure james gets his letter too (and no, you can’t read it, you nosy twat).
i love you, sirius. i’m sorry i stopped saying it.
see you in the sky,
regulus.”

Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.
The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like...I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it's not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.
So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, "But that's the most random story there is" in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.
In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I'm not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.
I'd say "get thee behind me, demon" but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I've written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!
a masterpiece. wtaf.

bitches will be like "this is my comfort ship" and it's literally at least one, but usally both of the most traumatized characters together
i'm bitches
“i never see you at the club” ok well i never see you on ao3 at 2am reading about the same two bitches falling in love for the 1000th time in the 500th way
for the longest time, i thought what conan gray meant when he sang “but for now i’m only people watching” is that he is a part of the people who are watching.
a few weeks ago, it’d only registered in my brain that what he meant was he is people watching. like the activity of watching people.
