Skelteroid - Skelter

also if you’d like to read some gossip marauders au @genderfluidluna it’s currently working on a gossip girl au and it’s really good!

you should write a marauders (blackinnon) fic set in a Bridgerton-like setting! (high society, marriage mart, gossip column!). I looove ur writings❣️

omg thank u!! 💗

that’s sounds interesting but i fear i would struggle a lot with time period accuracy in terms of language, common phrases and things like that (not that i would mind that much re-reading some classic in english to immerse myself in it).

you have for sure given me something to think about!

New chapter | Marauders: The Untold Story

Remus: I understand when people called James arrogant. It wasn’t really his fault being conceited. Only child, loving parents, a comfortable economic situation, who wouldn’t come out into the world thinking they deserve everything good in life? But as egotistical as he could be, he was also caring and kind-hearted.  Yes, I’m aware of how he and Sirius treated other people, especially when they were younger, but it’s not like they were mistreating someone vulnerable, they were messing with a bunch of other self-important, full of themselves, snooty kids. And they did change their ways in the end. Well, somewhat. You couldn’t be expected to make it into the music industry, especially during the seventies, and not be a little ruthless.  So yeah, James approached my concerns tactfully. He didn't want me to feel different, though we were, and by the end I didn’t even realize I was accepting his help. When we finally ended playing at their dance, I was wearing one of James’ old suits.  James: From that moment on, we became insufferable. In mine and Sirius' case, even more so than usual. But seeing Remus and Peter starting to believe in the band too, was amazing. We couldn’t shut up about it. Every weekend from then on we fought over who’s idea to give a try first, we were all so inspired.  At some point Hope lent us her record player. We took turns picking songs from Sirius’ collection and then tried them out on our instruments. Remus: We started changing the lyrics to the covers we played, then slowly one of us would change a chord or a beat, and then suddenly we were writing our first songs, not just obscene tunes anymore (stops, then laughs). A few of our songs turned out to be quite obscene, but you know what I meant, we didn’t feel like kids doing it anymore.

adult blackinnon just hits different, you know?

“The songs in the radio are okay,

but my taste in music is your face.”

you have your mother’s eyes

starting to feel like blackinnon love child at this point cause the lack of awareness yet the easy nature of it all, the obviousness and the playing it down games, the sneaking up on them both, the way they mirror each other that every time they tell something that infuriates them about the other they might as well be yelling at their own reflection but also believing in each other so hard in a way they don’t even believe in themselves and the angst of neither of them ever expecting to lose each other in such a tragic way despite all the deaths and disappearances going on around them. ugh, i need to lay down.

Nymphadora Tonks is an incredibly smart, strong, capable witch, and she is a 23-year-old with a massive crush on an emotionally unavailable man. And that is why she will always be the most relatable character in the series to me.

would love to read those stories!!!

i agree with kids not fitting with them, if they are not together i can see them being wonderful step-parents, although the option of a miscarriage as to reinforce (more on the reader than in them)/confronts them with the notion that it’s enough with the two of them, like yes, there are families that actually aspire to be that small!! they have other dreams!! plus marlene has her own family and sirius has the potters, they are happy and content as they are and little kids would love to hear from them! imagine blackinnon telling little harry what adventures they get up to, little harry would probably want to grow up to be like them 😂

for the love of me, i cannot imagine marlene and sirius with kids. it fits neither of them imo. they're good with kids, it's not like they don't like them. i just think they wouldn't want one. but in some of my aus, either modern au, warless au, or both live in the canon world, i can see them adopting this specif girl (i will insert pic) and i have so many variants and stories on how they meet her. and she's so fun, sassy, full of love, and their parenting method (?) is treating her like an adult. not with the responsibility, more like treating her as an equal? she calls marlene "lena" or "mum" and she is calls sirius "prongs" or "dad"

sometimes i judge my friends for sharing so much shit on their ig stories while they working, but then again here i am writing/reading stuff about fictional characters who, if they existed, would still be dead

to each his own 🤷🏼‍♀️
