sirius not giving a fuck about the prank, but also being so surprised that snape actually showed up is so precious to me. "damn. i thought i have made it clear that i hate him. wdym he came?"
marlene mckinnon’s hair went through the same phases as miley cyrus’s hair over the years.
the whole prank situation to me didn’t change significantly the marauders dynamic, but i do think it played a role in snape worst memory where we see remus getting uncomfortable with the whole situation. so there might be something in there that steams from the prank (so for me yeah, there’s is an after the prank but that’s not the point here).
back to the prank:
remus probably wrestled every month with the guilt of him turning into a dark and dangerous creature and what it would mean if he got loose near some many wizards. so him confronting the idea that he could have killed snape wasn’t news to him. if anything proved that snape it’s utterly stupid ‘cause what do you mean you got directions to confirm your long held suspicion of one of your classmates being a werewolve, something your completely sure at that point, and you still went to find him during a full moon? what, did snape expected to be the first wizard ever to tame a werewolve?? did he seriously didn’t get the fucking joke???
if anything, remus is more shaken up about james. and james it’s a little too (but not for long) because it’s implied that he got face to face with remus in his werewolve form fully aware of the risks and he didn’t fucking knew if he was getting away alive out of it (or maybe i’m being dramatic and he just pulled severus out of the tunnel lol like honestly how hard does one have to try to earn a medal for services to the school, riddle only told on hagrid, it wasn’t like he was actively saving a student).
anyway, whatever james did, he did it to protect remus, not snape or even sirius, who might have gotten into trouble as well and as we all know, he’s no stranger to getting detention.
also, did severus honestly thought he was the only one in the whole school to be aware of the situation??? are you fucking kidding me??? your suppose to be smart.
so no, that particular moment didn’t put any strain into remus relationships with his friends, not even sirius.
i mean, are we forgetting that snape tried to out remus during PoA and even then remus took the piss on him with the whole map situation?? my man doesn’t care about snape’s feelings. he’s a marauder.

might turn this into an unreleased sirius black’s song for my marauders band au.
i just love this song, this band and actually this whole era of argentinian rock tbh.
“i’m not used to my first day without you,
because i still say we when i think of you.
when the summer ended, everything seemed fine,
now i think of all the things we said unknowingly.
because soon you would leave with no explanation,
maybe it seems easy to you for me to bear this pain (for me to bear your pain).
you forgot some things in your swift departure,
and now they’re like treasures i keep for myself.
[…]
because this is my first day without seeing you
and the room feels gigantic,
i feel so small if you’re not here,
i can’t understand it.”
honestly my translation it’s kinda crap and i really don’t know if im too lazy to do it justice lol or if i love too much the spanish wording for this fuckin anthem of heartbreak.
suddenly i’m fifteen again, i have no responsibilities, i’m diving in the blackinnon tag in ao3 and tumblr, that community is active again, life is good.
casual reminder that he had to bury all of his friends
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.

i have this au in my mind where marlene and sirius break up and marls is desperate to get rid of the feeling of sirius on her body.
she needs to physically move on, so she starts dating. and while she doesn’t sleep with every guy she goes out with, that’s her main intention.
so she hooks up with the guy who’s a bad kisser and she knows it’s gonna be bad in the sack and he is, but it’s fine because at least is not sirius.
then she goes out with the guy who only fucks her and doesn’t care for her at all and again, it’s fine, because is not sirius.
then she manages to find a more stable partner over time that’s sort of good but not really and it’s fine anyway, because is not sirius.
but then, she goes with a guy with whom she finally opens up about. they talk for hours before jumping in bed and it’s going well enough, until she realizes it feels too familiar, too comfortable, too achingly tender and she can’t quite shake the feeling off. so when it ends, she can’t get away from the guy and the situation fast enough.
and suddenly she feels grief for the first time because either she’ll never feel anything good again in her life or else she will be forever haunted by the memory of sirius mark on her when she finally does.

and Lily. I would have died before I betrayed them.”
