Well Lent is over but I’m not returning. I may come back for my book blog, but that’s about it.

I’m being torn apart.

Holy shmokes.

[peerieweirdo]

everybody always makes the marauders out to be super cool and suave but dude

they had codenames

they named their own friendship group

as far as i can tell only aBSOLUTE DORKLORDS DO THAT

how much do you wanna bet the entirety of hogwarts refused to call them ‘the marauders’ and they got all grumpy abt it

The entire exchange between them all during their 5th year exam also attests to this. 1. He’s sitting in my chair 2. He’s wearing my clothes 3. His names remus Lupin?? That’s not even funny ! but they all laughed. And they’ve known he’s a werewolf for how many years at that point? 3? I can’t get over it lolol it is absolutely dorky.

Sirius and James wore matching Phoenix shirts while riding the motorbike together.

In addition (and I will categorically never get over this) sixteen year old James Potter doodling Lily’s initials in a love heart on his DADA OWL exam? 

And for god’s sake, they dedicated a significant chunk of their free time to drawing their entire school (and not just any school- Hogwarts, the most convoluted building anywhere ever) and enchanting it to keep track of every single person, not to mention the fucking stairs and the walls that move. This map can see people under the Invisibility Cloak, doesn’t give two shits about Polyjuice Potion. 

They were gi-fucking-gantic dorks. You can bet that their dorm room had more advanced textbooks in it than any other in the castle. You can bet that their homework (despite often likely being done a little close to the line) will nine times out of ten be twice as many inches as they were asked for including moving, colour coded diagrams and insanely complex theory on how to improve the effects of said spell or potion, potential applications that literally no-one would have thought of.

Like the very fact that they’re canonically fucking mischief makers of the calibre of Fred and George, the fact that they caused trouble that way is just textbook behaviour for a lot of really really bright kids? They were goddamn geniuses, and they were bloody bored 90% of the time, so they pushed themselves. Acing transfiguration? No problem, let’s become Animagi to help our best mate. Ancient Runes way bellow our skill level? Fine, we’ll use a combination of that, arithmancy and charms to make a map that tracks people all over the castle.

They were absolute nerd kings, and I sodding well love it.

Attn: BUNNY OWNERS

I just got a bunny. She’s nearly a year old. She was my sister’s but she just couldn’t give her the attention she needed so I adopted her. I need advice on how to care for her. What toys are best? Can I potty train her and how? I would like to let her be pretty free from a cage so how do I train her to be ok out?
