"Lily was the Hermione of her time."

Bitch, Hermione would've never stood by while Draco Malfoy hoisted Harry into the air and stripped him in front of the entire school. She would've broken the noses of anyone bullying her friend in about four different places long before it ever got that far.

But y'all aren't ready for that conversation.

[inthemoodforblastt]

if you judge them as people rather than as elements of a story – not in terms of the writing or how well they're written.

who's worse, Sirius or James?

1. as a person.

2. who was worse to Severus.

3. which one do you personally find more likeable / off-putting?

This is ultimately a very personal question because it comes down to each person's ethics and overall worldview.

For me, the biggest difference in how I see the two is that Sirius is someone who, despite having "rich people problems," still had problems. He was raised in what was essentially an ideological cult, and that has huge implications for your values and moral boundaries. Violence was normal to him. Using violence was normal to him. Feeling superior to other people was normal to him, even if the target changed.

So I can understand why he would perceive Severus—or anyone else—as an "other," and why all those attitudes he learned from his family, despite swearing he rejected them, would still come out when dealing with someone he saw that way. For his family, Muggle-borns and Muggles were the "other." Sirius rejected that idea, but mostly because he wanted to rebel against them. That doesn't automatically mean he deconstructed the worldview he grew up with. He still divides people into "us" and "them"; he just changes who belongs in each category. Severus is an "other" to him, and he treats him accordingly, because that's what he was taught. Simply wearing Gryffindor robes and hanging out with blood traitors doesn't erase everything your family drilled into your head.

James, on the other hand, comes from what appears to be a genuinely progressive family. The Potters were removed from the Sacred Twenty-Eight precisely because they didn't agree with blood purity ideology. His parents are portrayed as loving, kind, and supportive. So what's his excuse? He shouldn't see people as "others." He shouldn't be violent, abusive, or sadistic. And yet he is. While Sirius's behavior clearly stems from the values he was taught by his family, James's behavior seems entirely self-generated. He's like that because he actively chooses to be. That's the kind of person he decides to become. To me, that's much worse.

If you're raised to be a bad person and you become a bad person, you're still responsible for your actions, of course. But if you never question what you've been taught, that's unfortunately a very difficult cycle to break, especially when you're young. But if you're raised with every possible advantage to become a decent person and you still turn out cruel, then I'm sorry, but you're either a sociopath or just a complete asshole. There's really no other way I see it.

That said:

James. I think he's worse for all the reasons I've already explained.

I think they're actually at a very similar level overall, but Sirius almost got Snape killed, and James had to stop him. So on that specific point, I have to give it to Sirius.

I like Sirius far, far more. James honestly embodies almost everything I find repulsive in a straight man. And James is a fucking normie dude, at least Sirius has mommy issues, but James is just a guy.

not james potter being the most adhd-coded character ever. like what did you MEAN he canonically left his wand on the sofa when going to fight mr noseless???? thats like textbook stuff. and his fanon sunshine personality and need for everyone to like him? like cmon its right there

I have ADHD, and I’m telling you right now: if my partner and my child depended on me, I would never, ever forget my weapon. Please stop confusing having ADHD with being a complete fucking idiot. And for the love of God, stop comparing a spoiled, abusive rich brat to my condition. It’s fucking disgusting.

Not to mention that if you constantly need people to like you, that’s your own fucking issue with validation, not something that automatically comes with ADHD. I’m heavily medicated, and I’ve never needed everyone to like me. Seriously, stop talking fucking nonsense.

Todos los fifes y los incels tirándole mierda a Ester Expósito porque no pueden soportar que una tía buena hegemónicamente ultra atractiva no esté hecha ni se preste para su consumo. En el momento en que ha dejado de ser un culo y unas tetas y ha demostrado que es una tía inteligentísima y con conciencia política de repente ya no es la fantasía de sus pajas y "deja de ser para tanto". Ay, vosotros no queréis mujeres, queréis esclavas.

How would you view SWM as a lawyer?

As a lawyer? Honestly, I'd love to take that case because it would be ridiculously easy to win. And considering the Potters and the Blacks are obscenely wealthy, I'd sue them for a fortune and I'd get a percentage of that settlement, which would be pretty great for me. The bigger the fish, the more meat there is on the table.

Jokes aside, SWM presents a surprisingly long list of potential legal claims if you analyze it through the lens of modern criminal law. Depending on the jurisdiction, a prosecutor could plausibly argue several offenses, including:

Sexual assault / sexual battery (or another sexual offense involving forced nudity), since Severus is forcibly stripped against his will. Even without sexual intent, many modern legal systems recognize non-consensual public nudity imposed on a victim as a sexual offense or as sexual abuse.

Public humiliation through forced nudity, which in some jurisdictions is prosecuted under sexual offense statutes and in others under offenses against personal dignity or bodily autonomy.

Assault and battery, for the physical violence used to attack, restrain, and injure him.

False imprisonment or unlawful restraint, since he's magically immobilized and prevented from leaving.

Attempted suffocation or reckless endangerment, when soap is forcibly shoved into his mouth, creating an obvious risk of choking or obstructing his airway.

Conspiracy or acting in concert, because multiple people participate in the assault, making them jointly responsible for the acts committed during the attack.

Bullying and harassment, particularly given that this appears to be part of an ongoing pattern rather than an isolated incident.

Criminal intimidation, as the violence is intended to humiliate, dominate, and terrorize the victim in front of a crowd.

Intentional infliction of emotional distress (as a civil claim), since the assault is deliberately carried out before dozens of witnesses with the specific purpose of humiliating him.

Hate crime enhancements would probably not apply under modern law, since there's no protected characteristic involved, but the sustained nature of the abuse could certainly aggravate sentencing.

And that's before you even start talking about damages in civil court. Between physical injuries, psychological harm, reputational damage, pain and suffering, and long-term trauma, the compensation claim could be enormous.

From a modern legal perspective, the scene isn't "schoolyard bullying." It's a coordinated group assault involving physical violence, unlawful restraint, forced public stripping, attempted asphyxiation, and sustained humiliation. The fact that the perpetrators are teenagers would affect the proceedings and sentencing in many jurisdictions, but it wouldn't magically make the underlying conduct any less serious.

Hello, I’ve noticed that you often bring up interesting arguments and responses within the Harry Potter community, and I have a few questions that I hope to hear your perspective on.

My question is about the marriage between Remus Lupin and Tonks. What has always made me wonder is that, from my point of view, maintaining a long-term marriage and providing a stable home for children usually requires a stable financial foundation.

However, Lupin did not have a stable job—in fact, he was essentially unemployed. On top of that, he was a werewolf. Since their relationship developed during wartime, it seems that both of them were less concerned about financial matters and more focused on survival and fighting for their lives.

So I’m curious: if both of them had survived and their marriage had continued, do you think their relationship would have remained strong and sustainable? I’d love to hear your perspective on this.

Additionally, I’m also curious about the marriage between James Potter and Lily Potter. They got married at a very young age—arguably too young, as they had just stepped out of school and likely hadn’t fully understood the responsibilities of adulthood. The time from their marriage to their deaths was also very short, only about two years.

At the same time, some side materials suggest that Lily and James didn’t always see eye to eye. For example, in the extra content about meeting the Dursley family, there were signs of differences in their perspectives.

I hope you can share your thoughts on these questions.

Honestly, I don't think money has anything to do with it. Tonks was an Auror, after all. There's nothing wrong with the woman being the breadwinner while he stays home and takes care of the house. What's the issue?

If they were going to have problems, I think they'd stem from Remus's insecurities. He's a guy who, at thirty-eight, still hasn't grown a backbone, basically. The age gap would probably play a role too. Tonks becomes a mother very young, and realistically she and Remus hadn't even been together that long when she got pregnant. In the real world, a lot of women who make that kind of impulsive decision in their early twenties —especially with a man who's much older— end up regretting it by the time they're in their thirties.

Could that not happen? Sure, because the Harry Potter universe is ridiculously socially conservative. But in the real world… come on.

Besides, Remus is kind of a terrible partner. He has no backbone, he's incapable of forming firm opinions of his own even in his mid-thirties, and he can't even bring himself to genuinely criticize his own friends. The man has absolutely no fire in him. Maybe that's Tonks's type, who knows. But I think most women would eventually get sick of it, because God help you if you try to build a family with someone who's that much of a pushover.

As for Lily and James, I think their relationship benefited both of them socially.

For Lily, James represented a clean break from her Muggle identity. He also offered a significant boost in social status and the promise of never having to worry about financial security. Her sister essentially did the same thing by marrying Vernon, so it seems pretty clear that the Evans sisters were raised with fairly traditional expectations about marrying providers, it was completely normal for that generation.

For James, Lily reinforced the political identity he wanted to project. He enjoyed being the rebellious pure-blood who wasn't like the other pure-bloods, and marrying a muggle-born publicly reinforced that image. It positioned him as someone who rejected blood supremacy while still benefiting from all the privilege that came with being a wealthy, well-connected pure-blood.

I don't really see them getting divorced.

That said, what a miserable life, only ever sleeping with one person. I wouldn't wish getting married as a teenager and having children before twenty on my worst enemy. To me, that sounds like the absolute definition of a living death.

Marauders fans love to say that James Potter ‘redeemed himself’ as a sorry excuse to his actions

He literally died at 21. What little time did he have to properly redeem himself after ruthlessly tormenting Severus and being an insufferable jock all through out his years at hogwarts.

[martieprince]

Eileen and Tobias, cause I refuse to believe they didn’t have any happy moments!

I blame you, JK Rowling.

[ashilyseven]

As If

[casketvisitor]

It’s so funny watching marauders fans only reason to hate on Severus being how he ‘bullied’ Neville

When literally the marauders would bully Neville too, and probably way worse. The marauders weren’t harmless queer kids they were populer jocks and assholes.

Usopp’s Observation Haki Is Basically a Sniper’s Thermal Vision

I was watching a movie starring Dylan Sprouse where his character was being hunted by a lone sniper, and the sniper was using thermal, basically infrared, vision. I immediately thought, wait… in One Piece’s own fantasy way, is a sniper’s Observation Haki kind of the equivalent of that?

Y’all, anytime a sniper shows up in something I’m watching or reading, my brain automatically goes straight to Usopp. That was honestly one of the only reasons I enjoyed the movie. 😭 But seriously, Oda probably didn’t plan this connection and it’s more of a fridge brilliance thing. Still, come on. Whenever One Piece YouTubers talk about Usopp’s Haki, they never really connect it to how actual sniper optics work. So yes, I got a little giddy when it clicked for me.

It’s incredible how people excuse Remus Lupin by saying he was just scared of becoming a father for the first time. How nice it must be to be able to run away when you’re about to become a father. How nice it must be to disappear for a while and take time to think and reflect. Do you know who can’t run away and take time to think about their life? Women, because they’re carrying the child inside them. And no matter how much they run away or disappear, they’re still carrying the damn baby and they still have to give birth. But men have it so hard.

By the way, I don’t even know how scared he supposedly was of passing lycanthropy onto his child. A 37–38-year-old man had apparently never heard of something called birth control. I don’t know, put on a fucking condom, Remus Lupin. Put on a fucking condom or get a fucking vasectomy, mate.

Like, what exactly is the excuse here? I genuinely cannot understand the excuse people make for a man who gets a twenty-something pregnant while pushing forty, with grey hairs on his balls already, and then bolts. Honestly, every excuse people make for him just feels like misogyny and patriarchy deeply ingrained in people’s heads.

Remus Lupin is the kind of man I’d be furious about if one of my friends got back together with him. If one of my friends had a child with a guy like that, I’d do everything possible to get them divorced, and on the day they divorced I’d throw a party and do everything possible to set my friend up with the hottest, richest, most amazing guy in the world so she’d never have to deal with that character again, like over my dead body guys.

Like, if one of my friends told me her husband had left her while she was in the middle of a pregnancy because he’d had some kind of nervous crisis and needed time away to think, while she’s dealing with a body that’s changing completely and hormones and all the chaos of pregnancy… It wouldn’t be that Remus Lupin couldn’t find work because he’s a werewolf. Remus Lupin wouldn’t find work because he’d become my personal number one enemy. I swear. And on top of that, I’d be earning points for the future woth that so that when I die and someone has to judge me in the universe, they’d say: you did society a great service, you freed it from this fucking damn loser.

[asoakedtoast]

The marauders fandom is genuinely the most white people fandom ever. None of y’all should ever be allowed to write poc, racism or classism (or the lack of classism) into your stories ever fucking again, it has the same vibe as middle class Americans going “texting from district 12” while talking about the met gala.

The rich purebloods who committed war crimes are not little innocent babies who were raised that way and don’t know any better!! The only person you can gen feel bad for in the death eater circle is Severus! Cuz he actually didn’t have another choice unlike rich purebloods aristocrats.

I hate the comparison of nazis to death eaters but it seems to be a comparison marauders fans love so I hope y’all this know is like defending a nazi during 1940s Germany cuz Their parents were also rich well connected nazis, do none of realise how insane you sound???

[inthemoodforblastt]

re the comment on mulciber and mary attack: so would you say remus and severus were a lot like each other then, excusing the attacks of their friends?

genuinely curious to hear your thoughts. it’s true we don’t know what actually happened to mary, but since it was done by future death eaters we can assume it was based on her blood status. context matters too, at this point in the war it looked like voldemort was winning, and “dark magic” was synonymous with death eaters/brutal attacks on muggleborns. we can see this fear/prejudice of dark magic lasted even ten years after the war, with hagrid warning harry about slytherin. lily probably heard many whispers of attacks to muggleborns using dark magic before.

hope you are having a good day, i like your blog!

Yes, I think Severus was very much like Remus when it came to the “other side.” A person who did not directly attack but also did not condemn it and probably excused it. Which is ironic because everyone justifies Remus’s attitude but condemns Severus. But well, it’s also that people in this fandom have the same political understanding as a 13-year-old kid who instead of reading books watches TikTok videos or something like that…
