Why are people so delusional when it comes to the hp or marauders era fandom? Every single time I look up jily or jily supremcy in tiktok it's always some jegulily/ jegulus BS like some of y'all are deep in the delusion and headcannons. Why are people trying to replace Lily? Why are ppl making Sirius this super feminine man when he's not that? Why are ppl making Remus super aggressive? And making James the literal devil towards snape and then a people pleaser towards everyone else. And peter non existent? What are y'all doing!?
These are not the same characters any more. Once again the whole theme of hp/ marauders is love. James and Lily loving each other despite the danger that comes with it. They love Harry and Harry loves them. The marauders being best friends in school. The golden trio. The grief that came for Sirus, Remus, and Harry regarding James and Lily . The betrayal of Peter. This story isn't about DE and their "sad, horrendous" back stories. It's about Lily, James and Harry.
i love when people make james a person of colour (personal fav being arab james) cause it just makes his relationship with lily so much more interesting.
you have lily evans, the muggleborn witch systemically oppressed by magical society and so as a result constantly feeling the need to prove herself as a capable witch.
then on the other hand you have james potter, a brown man raised in 1970s britain where racism was very common place in society and often times encouraged.
the different ways people could go about exploring this dynamic and the way their lived experiences mirror each other and how it results in them becoming each other’s safe space where they otherwise couldn’t with other people. add onto that their desperate need for validation as a result of oppression and you’re all set.
Shipping James or Lily with any DE character requires you to ignore their morals and ideologies against the pure blood DE characters to make it work. You would have to change everything about them.
Lily and James died for their son. They most likely knew the risk of having a baby, getting married, staying together but they did it anyway. James, a pure blood wizard put a target on his own back just because he was in love with a muggle born woman. Lily already had a target on her back when she came to Hogwarts.
These DE characters can be down right sadistic and evil and some ppl will still ship these characters. In reality these characters would kill each other on sight. And some will say "it's all fake anyway, let people ship" but that's the problem
Fiction relates to reality. Stories, poems, movies are all related to real situations, people, places and ideas, that's why some people can see themselves in certain stories. And by making these problematic ships, some ppl think it's cool and okay to let these situations happen irl.
It's not just shipping, it's an idea that could turn into action.
Lily and James are so important and ppl that don't like them don't understand them. Like without them Harry wouldn't exist. There literally wouldn't be a story. James and Lily being together went against everything the DE pure bloods believed in. Having a kid together was an act of defiance. James and Lily marrying each other despite a whole war going on is like the bravest thing they could've done. The point is Lily and James are the base, the standard, the originals.
I drew Lily Evans again (if it looks blurry that’s intentional)
If Harry’s parents came back alive (like 3rd or 4th year) somehow I think it would be a little funny or awkward with James meeting Harry than Lily meeting Harry. Like Harry has lily’s personality and would hit it off with her real quick. They could relate to each other better. (Especially regarding Petunia and her attitude towards magic). But with James I think it’ll be something different. Like imagine you’re Harry and you’ve been told over and over how much you look like your dad (except the eyes) and suddenly you get to meet him but with like nothing in common except the sport you play. I feel like James would honestly be kind of awkward and not know what to say to his son (not knowing what he’s heard- snape) and Harry would either be just shocked, in awe or I don’t know really happy? Sirius and lily would probably urge them to talk or bond or whatever.
The doe and the stag
What are y'all opinions on desi James Potter or Harry Potter? And why?
James knotted the rope as tight as he could. The fraying fibers cut into Peter’s shoulders like twine making a hay bale bulge, but he couldn’t help the urge to check that Harry was still asleep upstairs.
His eye twitched the longer it was trained on Peter’s pale, sweaty face. And his fists clenched tightly around the wands in each hand. He didn’t miss the way grey eyes flickered down to ebony wood. He was scared, James realized with a bit of a start. He was shaking in the chair like a cornered animal.
His sandy hair was choppy, like someone had taken shears to it as a punishment. His face was breaking out, splotches of red like hives throughout his skin. His teeth were yellowing, and his nails were caked in dirt and overgrown.
He began to cry, and James’ curiosity quickly changed to fury.
“What are you weeping about?” he demanded, watching his volume. Peter wailed, only stopping when he bowed his head at James’ pointed wand at his nose.
“I’m sorry!” he stammered through each syllable.
James thought of Snape and Regulus answering vaguely whenever he asked about Peter. Saying he was serving Voldemort from one manor to the next. Staying hidden for the sake of keeping Sirius locked away. He briefly wondered if they’d held back more information to spare him the feeing he had in that moment.
Lily’s face appeared in front of him, the walls of their old home like blurry shadows behind her. He didn’t hear anything when her mouth moved, but he recognized the terror in her eyes. The tears that had fallen as she’d said goodbye.
“How could you do it?” he asked, hollow to Peter’s wide, fretful eyes.
“He made me,” Peter pleaded. The fingers of his left hand wriggled. “He made me vow to serve him until my death.” He shivered, as if the memory he’d conjured up made him weary. James felt like he was back in front of the television. “An unbreakable vow.”
James felt his heart break. It caught him off guard, and he sought to figure how it could have splintered even more. Instead, he stuffed a cloth napkin in Peter’s flapping mouth.
“I hadn’t asked you to do so much,” he waved his wand and watched as thin strings of silvery magic wrapped around Peter like cords of wire. He looked his betrayer in the eye, “Funny how you’ve made everything worse for yourself just on your own.”
He heard light taps above them, signaling his son’s rise.

Guys... we have so many lush marauders ship names, (wolfstar, starchaser, nobleflower, rosekiller etc) but we also have some boring ones. Marylily being one of those. I think we should rename Marylily to Roulette because roulette is red and black and Lily has red hair and Mary has black hair!!! (dark brown but still) I just think it's cute.
Hey! So I'm here now...
My name's Arianwen!
I don't really do much, maybe a few headcannons or AUs here and there, but I'm in a couple of fandoms and I have a couple of ships.
Feel free to message me about your ship opinions and headcannons!!
