Just a PSA to the Marauders fandom that I think we all could use (just a warning cuz this is gonna be reeeeallyy long, sorry 😅):
It’s called FANFICTION and not CANNON, FOR. A. REASON.
Also idk about any other sites bc the only one I use is ao3, but it has tags describing the fic and the things you’ll see in it for a reason. If you don’t like something in it then don’t read it. If there’s something you don’t like in it then don’t read it. Simple as that.
And I’m not trying to be disrespectful but iv seen a LOT of people like all around being disrespectful about other people’s preferences, for example different ships and weather or not it would have been realistic in cannon.
Obviously we’re all gonna have different types of things we like to see in a fic so we’re all gonna have different opinions on different topics.
Some of the most common ones I see are Jegulus and Snape vs. James stuff.
Im really sorry because this is jumping all over the place but the point I’m trying to make is that we all (and if not all of us then definitely the majority) read marauders fanfics or whatever to escape the absolutely tragic end of the cannon marauders. Like, there ALL dead in cannon, so we make up stories to keep them alive forever. Weather or not we change their personalities a little bit, or their appearance, or their preferences ,or the settings their in, whatever, it really doesn’t matter. They’re still gonna be the marauders at the end of the day.
Anyways, please remember to stay respectful to EVERYONE and their preferences. No matter if it’s realistic or not bc be so fr, we’re taking about a bunch of dead wizards who we have going into COMPLETELY different AUs all the time. None of this is realistic.
My end point is going to be that if you don’t like something in a fic or podcast or where ever it is you get your content then don’t read/listen to it. In the end it’s really up to you what you put in your brain and what you chose to do with it so please chose wisely and chose what’s gonna bring you the most happiness.
Anyways sorry this was so long, I got really tired of seeing all the disrespect in this community and just need to get this off my chest, thank you so much for reading all this and PLEASE ignore any grammatical or spelling errors😭
I have a Marauders fancast opinion that may or may not rustle some jimmies: now don’t get me wrong, Andrew Garfield as Remus, Aaron Taylor Johnson as James, Evan Peters as…Evan etc are good fancasts on their own. Sofia Bryant as Mary, Beabadoobee as Marlene, Filah Lah Lah as Dorcas etc. are also very good fancasts on their own, but am I the only one who finds it kind of weird when they’re all part of the same fancast? for example the fandom can’t be like “oh Karen Gillan/Sophie Skelton are too old to play Lily anymore, gotta find a younger one” but somehow at the same time still be fine with currently 35-45 year old men.
I definitely do think that's weird, I don't understand why people have the need to hate on others for their fancast aside from when it's problematic. For example, Dane Dehaan and Jamie Bell as Peter. You can't excuse the fact that Peter is CANONICALLY PLUS SIZE! Due to a headcanon that "Peter only got fat because of the stress of being Voldemort's mole", or because of the "stress of the war" when he was described as plump in his youth.
As for the age differences it's really not that weird if you really think about it. Most often we see fancasts in edits, and in those edits they usually us scenes of Aaron Taylor Johnson in Nowhere Boy, and Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray, and Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spiderman. During the times those films came out ATJ was 18, Ben Barnes was 28, and Andrew Garfield was 29.
Sofia Bryant is 23, so is Beatrice Laus (Beabadoobee), and Filah Lah Lah is 24. So in the grand scheme of all these fancasts the age difference isn't really that big. The largest difference is between ATJ and Andrew Garfield and that's only 11 years.
So I definitely do understand where you're coming from but if you take into account when they're being fancast it really makes so much more sense.

My Marauders Headcanons Pt. 4 ~ Peter Isaiah Pettigrew
Raised by a single mother who works very hard for her children
Middle Child Syndrome
He has an older brother and an older sister and a younger brother and a younger sister
The Pettigrew kids help raise each other to take some stress off of their mom
Peter is really close with his mom
His favorite class is herbology
Plant parent Peter canon
Is fully aware of James' soft spot for him
Has a special bond with Remus and he was on Remus' side after the prank
His favorite color is mustard yellow but he also likes light blue
Peter is the funniest marauder hands down
Can't handle being yelled at
Has a serious soft spot for animals
Terrified of losing his friends
Comes up with the excuses cus the other marauders can't
Sirius is over here trying to flirt their way out of trouble, James can't lie worth a shit, and Remus completely lacks creativity he'll come up with a great excuse 4-5 hours after the fact
But Peter has one immediately
The 110% would have gotten ×4 as much detention if it weren't for Peter
He was plus size but he wasn't all chub he had muscle too
It just wasn't visible
You could feel it though
Fancies girls with dark hair
Usually older
And most often a Ravenclaw
Hates sour sweets with a burning passion
Has just enough brown color in his hair to distinguish him from being blond
He's very sweet
His hair is often messy and if it's not at the beginning of the day than it will be at the end because James and Sirius like to ruffle it
He doesn't really like quidditch, I mean he goes to the games for James and Sirius, and to hear Remus' hilarious commentations but if they weren't there he probably would read a book next to the fire in the common room
Speaking of Peter's spot in the common room is closest to the fire
Everyone knows that
The smell and warmth comfort him
So when someone took Peter's spot one day Sirius gave them a death glare til they got so uncomfortable they let the common room altogether
He's the shortest Marauder not by much!
But he's still shortest :(
Sirius teases him about it constantly as if he's not only an inch and a half taller
He's very particular about that half inch too
He likes skateboarding
And his favorite dessert is basic chocolate chip cookies
He also has a button collection
My Marauders Headcanons Pt. 3 ~ Remus John Lupin
(Daniel Sharman as Remus Lupin makes sooo much sense, in my head. I mean he is soggy, wet dog of a man like Remus. He plays a werewolf on Teen Wolf. He has the hair, and if cocky, cool Remus is your thing he can pull that off too. Also there's a pic of him in a cowboy hat for all the Cowboy!Remus going on rn)
Hes an old man at heart and he always has been
He's very awkward, like if it weren't for the marauders he'd probably have like no friends
He actually gets along with everybody despite the facts he's awkward as hell
Became friends with The Pantheons/Slytherin Skittles/The Emeralds (whatever your preferred term is) after the prank
Light Academia aesthetic
He looks so funny sitting there wearing his light clothes next to them in all their dark ones
Still as cute as ever
He is not the smartest marauder
I mean in book sense yes but absolutely nothing else
He's awkward as fuck, and he's about as creative as a piece of cardboard
He's not emotionally intelligent either he gets even more awkward when people start crying
He has some psychological/ mental intelligence but not much
He's become best friends with Evan and Regulus
Barty reminds him a lot of James and he's thankful for that because he really missed James
He didn't talk to Sirius for months after the prank
Didn't talk to James either as he was on Sirius' side
Remus had expected it but it still hurt
Peter was there though and he'll forever be grateful for that
When he finally did start talking to James again it was like nothing had ever happened, but when he started talking to Sirius again everything was different
Remus' words were calloused, and cold he hadn't called Sirius padfoot or pads since the prank
Sirius hated that
Hated Snape even more after the prank too
His favorite color is actually brown, he says it's green to seem less boring but that's actually his second favorite color
Smokes Marlboro Light 100s
Fav class is Astronomy but best class is DADA
He's thoughtful and very, very observant
His fav muggle candy is Mr. Goodbar's
Tried on Sirius' leather jacket once and wants to get one of his own now
Really enjoys being the little spoon but he's so tall (that's why Barty is a good snuggle buddy)
Love Languages are Quality Time and physical touch
He prefers to receive physical touch and just spend time with you bc he doesn't really know how else to express himself
Mama's boy just like James
But he really loves his dad too
He fucking loves dinosaurs
So does Peter, they can talk about them for hours
Remus and Peter are variants of each other
Remus is a nerd from hell 😭
It's ok he's cute tho
Remus is naturally left handed but he learned to write with his right hand bc writing of the superstition that surrounds it
James and McGonagall are the only ones who know
So everyone thinks Remus has super shitty handwriting, when it's actually really good
He writes very small and neat
Didn't actually make up with Sirius until there were only a couple months left in their last year
My Marauders Headcanons Pt. 2 ~ Sirius Orion Black
Loves sour candy
Isn't really sure if he's a pure blood supremacist or not
He'd like to say he is as it distances himself from his family but he's truly not sure
If you're close to him it doesn't matter if you're a muggle born, a half blood, or a pure blood but if you're not then he can say some pretty nasty things be it as a joke or not
Smooth mf talker
Oh my good
He has a very charming, very nice laugh
His voice is smooth but also has this slightly raspy roughness which paired with his accent is extremely hot
Would've been a momma's boy if he could've
Punk Sirius black
Can actually cook really well
Cherry flavored things are his bbg
Biased towards Slytherin's bc not only are they going to be at least somewhat like his family Slytherin house also houses Snape
His alcohol of choice is tequila
Sleeps naked
Will throw a fucking bitch fit if he gets too hot
He has back dimples
And regular dimples
He has really flawless pale skin aside from his face where he has a few moles and ofc his tattoos
He's very toned and lean
His first tattoo was a sun in between his shoulder blades he didn't know why but when he got home, home where it was always cold and the people there were too he knew. He'd gotten for James, James who was always warm, James who's eyes and smile always shone so brightly, James who was the center of Sirius world, James who was the sun.
He was kicked out after he came home from getting the tattoo; drunk, and high off his mind, and worst of all ignoring his mother. To say Walburga had disapproved of his body modification was the understatement of the millennium. Sirius didn't even care so Walburga decided to make him care
Contrary to popular belief this was the first time things had ever gotten physical, Walburga had decided to give him a body modification he'd disapprove of
She grabbed the knife off the kitchen table and made her way over to Sirius who was basically delirious with laughter before realizing something foul was bound to take place. He began running up the stairs but that didn't stop his mother before he could get too far Walburga had grabbed hold of his collar and began cutting. Sirius thrashed and cried and begged for her not to cut his hair but she did anyway, she didn't even care for the cuts she left on him as he tried to get her to stop
When she was done she simply told him he wasn't her son anymore
She wanted nothing to do with him
And Sirius begged for something he didn't even know what for
He doesn't like shaving but he prefers to be free of hair
He's French, Russian, English, and Romanian
He likes to paint his nails black
Sirius LOVES shiny things
Like they make him so happy and giddy
Sirius also LOVES his motorbike
His favorite article of clothing is his leather jacket which is somehow still in pristine condition despite the fact Sirius basically wears it in the shower he has it on so much
Loves jewelry
Winter is his fav season
His love language is actually quality time closely followed by physical touch
He's very affectionate after he loves and trusts you completely
Despite all the abuse he suffered with his family Sirius actually really misses his mom bc she wasn't all bad
Walburga suffered the same abuse as a child and after Sirius found that out it made things even harder for him because she knew
She knew what it felt like to have this happen and she still chose to do this to him
Sirius was actually her favorite son and one of the ways she would punish him was giving all her attention to Regulus whilst giving him the cold shoulder
That always broke Sirius and he'd beg for his mother's forgiveness and attention
Sometimes if Walburga was feeling nice and his father wasn't home which was rarely ever but it did happen occasionally Walburga would allow Sirius to crawl in bed with her and lie his head on her chest while she combed her fingers through his hair
Despite the affection this still hurt Sirius because she'd never look at him, and she wouldn't even acknowledge when he spoke to her. Never returning his declaration of love so he learned to accept her seldom affection in silence
Walburga was somehow even harsher after these times as she learned to view love and affection as a weakness
Chronic ice eater
Loves music
Extremely talented singer
His mother forced him to learn piano and he hates that he likes it
Taught himself to play the guitar
He has a little book where he writes out songs, he's embarrassed of them and the only person who even knows about it is James
Suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and James has been his FP for fucking ever
He also suffered from Survivor's guilt thinking about what happened to Regulus after he left
His relationship with James is way passed platonic but it's also not romantic either
He has very thin patience and gets frustrated quickly
Speaks French, Latin, and Russian fluently
Sirius hates labels
If you're his, your his
If he likes you, he likes you
That's just Sirius
My Marauders Headcanons Pt. 1 ~ James Potter
His full name is in fact James Fleamont Potter
His eyes are hazel but they're the really pretty blue-green kind
He laughs at his own jokes
His favorite color is unironically red
James was born really early in the morning
6:57 a.m. to be exact
James also likes to get up really early in the morning
He likes to start his days at 5:00 a.m.
Bro has really thick, slutty, muscular thighs
His love language is physical touch
James has big boobs <3
No but like he has really nice pecs

Thank you quidditch
He made the Gryffindor Quidditch Team as a chaser in his 4th year
He played Seeker his 2nd and 3rd year
Stole the snitch his last game as seeker

Honestly likes being a chaser better but is always playing with the golden snitch bc he thinks it's cool
He low-key has lucky socks
James is an attention whore
He's a momma's boy
He's just like Fleamont was when he was younger

Prongs' antlers are curved

Spanish James!!!
His mother always says he's a 'true' Spaniard bc of his pale skin and blue eyes
James hates that he's not tan like his mom but doesn't realize he literally gets so dark during the summer
When he speaks Spanish Lord have mercy
Boy is allergic to shirts
Or at least you'd think
He's very touch sensitive?
Like if something doesn't feel right it will not go on his body
He's an extrovert but he hates loud noises, Remus thinks it's odd considering how loud James is
Not to mention his best friends are literally Sirius Black and Marlene Mckinnon
He has ADD, ADHD and Bipolar (I'm pretty sure ADD and ADHD are diagnosed as the same thing now)
Moral alignment is chaotic good
He has perfected the puppy dog eyes, and it's literally impossible for anyone to say no to him
James is a very affectionate person
He's really loyal and he's really protective
HE FUCKING LOVES MARY!
Marlene and Peter are his childhood best friends
Marlene and James have a matching pair of red converse
He's rich, and his parents spoil him, and yes he can be an arrogant dickwad but deep down under all his unsavory qualities he's a really sweet guy with a really big heart
