Imagine regulus keeps encountering this weird ass deer,and eventually he starts talking with it and finds it relaxing to lay out his troubles to the deer.Meanwhile james is shitting himself from fear,realizing he's bisexual and overall confusion on why does he find his best mate's brother so damn atractive.

In group roleplay I'm in, we laugh that half of the Gryffindor pack is from the region, that have its own language, so they can scream at each other in it, not understanding anything what the other one said xd

James in cornish

Marlene in scottish

Remus in welsh

I don't know if Mary knows welsh as well, but she's from Cardiff xd They didn't teach welsh in school in 60s if I remember correctly and it was less likely to know the language in some regions and Cardiff belongs to those regions

Remus also lives in Cardiff, but he's from small religious town (the one with the longest name, because it's funny xd)

We need only an Irish person right now xd We still don't have Peter 👀

Polish Marauders - Where would they be from?

A breakdown of each Marauders Era Character possible place of residence/origin, had they all been Polish, that nobody asked for.

(partially inspired by @lilacella world wide moodboards, that reminded me that 2 years ago my mutuals played this little game “what if the marauders where from X country”. I think I have finally matured enough to actually make such a post)

Starting with the easiest one:

Sirius

Sloth’s Polrius™ is from Warsaw and obviously I agree with this assessment. He needs to be from The Big Important City.

However I do like the idea that he moves (at least temporarily) to Poznań, which has been dubbed Poland’s “queer capital” by some people.

He moves out the moment he gets the chance - to get away from his family, to meet new people, and to finally get to know himself (this is a pun. the name of the city might be coming from the verb “poznać” which means “to get to know” - someone or something knew, oneself, etc - or "to recognize")

Things Poznań is known for include: St. Martin's croissants, City Hall and its Goats (all pictured below), Pyrkon (fan convention; its name draws from the poznanian word for potato: pyra), funny dialect (see: pyra)

James

(this one is based on my assumption that James’s parents lived in Godrics Hollow as well, before James and Lily got married)

Godrics Hollow could be Gryfice or Gryfino (both small towns) near Szczecin. They take their names from the Griffin dynasty also known as House of Griffin that was founded in the 12th century. Both towns, most counties and the whole province have red griffins in their coats of arms.

You know. Like Godric Gryffindor?

Anyways.

Gryfino is right next to the Enchanted Crooked Forest and I mean. Just look at that. It does look like a Harry Potter location.

(I like the name of Gryfice better but Gryfino is located closer to the Crooked Forest, so Im sticking with that one)

Now things are getting a bit less straightforward.

Lily and Severus

For them I have 2 suggestions.:

Łódź - used to be the industrial centre with many textile factories. Since the name of Spinner’s End hints at the involvement in textile production - either cotton or wool spinning - this impression of Cokeworth being involved with textile industry stuck with me (tho I dont think we are ever told what was Cokeworth actually producing). However, Łódź is the 4th biggest city, not a small town like Cokeworth, and isnt as much of the textile industry anymore.

(Upper) Silesia - the other highly industrialised region, focused on mining (mostly coal), metalurgy etc. It has its own regional language called Silesian (I am not a linguist so idk whats the status of Silesian - some say its a dialect, some say its a separate regional language and are currently trying to get it recognised as such. idk its complicated (like everything about Silesia tbh). you can read some articles on wikipedia in silesian tho.). It fits the Cokeworth vibe a bit better, but it could also be compared to Wales (region focused on mining ✅ has a distinct dialect/language ✅ complicated history/relationship regarding the country/state its a part of ✅)

(with this one I ran out of creative juices and couldnt find any nice photos on unsplash or wikipedia so I used the posters by Ryszard Kaja. side note: Katowice is the capital city of the Silesian Province but its not the only province that can be referred to when talking about Silesia. like I said its complicated)

Remus

While trying to decide where he could be from, my first thought was: he has to be from the south of Poland - in that case, Sirius and James can make fun of the way he speaks (it doesnt matter how strong or noticeable one’s dialect is, I feel like southerners will always be made fun of). If Remus is from a town/village in the south he can hate on Warsaw people bc thats the preferable pastime of people not from Warsaw apparently (this also applies to Lily and Severus ofc)

So.

If we assume that Wales = Silesia (only for the purposes of this tumblr post!), then he can be from Silesia (as I mentioned: mining ✅ distinct dialect/language ✅ kind of a separate-ish region ✅)

But. If we want to lean into the sheep aspect of Wales (rather than the coal mining aspect) I would suggest Podhale - one of the mountain regions in the south. It is big on sheep ✅ has a rather noticeable dialect ✅ and having lots of sheep means: lots of woollen sweaters ✅ (crucial for Remus characterisation in any and all AUs)

other points for your consideration:

there is a breed of shepherd dogs originating from this region (Tatra Shepherd Dog, in polish: Owczarek Podhalański) (its quite large but sadly white not black like Padfoot. i still think it counts for Wolfstar points)

there is a fanart of Remus (and Lily) inspired by folk attire from Podhale region

pictured: Morskie Oko (in English: Eye of the Sea) also included in @polaroidcats Remus moodboard for my Erasmus AU; oscypek - regional smoked cheese from sheep milk; folk attire from Podhale region from this postcard, Tatra Shepherd Dog and Zakopane Style architecture (Zakopane is one of the main towns of the Podhale region)

Peter

I genuinely have no idea. We have no canon info that I could base any headcanons on. lets not talk about how I initially forgot about him all together. There are a few towns that used to be made fun of for no reason, so maybe he could be from one of them for the meme sake? I dont know

Hogwarts

How do they all meet? In Poland people would rather go to local high schools (as in: within their province). But if we want to gather people from all over the country our best shot is a university - and the oldest one is the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Cracow) founded in 1364.

ending notes

Im not worrying about the details or technicalities now, like how do they meet if they pick different majors at the uni (because then their classes won’t even share buildings). This is just a silly headcanon post that took me way too long to put together than it should

Im sorry if I disappointed anyone by not including more characters. I said "Marauders Era Character" instead of just "Marauders" bc I wanted to include Lily and Severus too. I dont know where I would place any other characters bc in most cases I dont have enough info (like with Peter...)

I hope Im not spreading any misinformation with this post. I wish I could say more on the topic of dialects and regional langauges and explain how it all works in Poland but im not a linguist and dont feel qualified enough lol

Poland is divided into Województwa which is anglicised as Voivodeships. However I decided to refer to them as “provinces”, even if thats not the correct term, for simplicity/brevity sake

all photos (unless stated otherwise) are from either unsplash.com or wikipedia. and yes i made all the moodboards

Polishcore huncwoci #1

Romek Wilczydupa (właściwie: Roman Jan Wilczydupa) on/jego

Czasami daje ludziom w gębę na dworcu

Notorycznie kradnie

W plecaku ma tylko 2 dychy i nadgniłe jabłko

Zabiłby za kajzerkę i parę kalesonów

Klnie jak szewc

Pali tylko cudzesy

Ma krzywą przegrodę nosową

Jeździ pociągami bez biletu

Koneser perły

Chodzi o kuli bo jak miał 5 lat zaliczył spotkanie trzeciego stopnia z rozpędzonym fiatem seicento

Ja osobiście jestem ogromnym fanem Romka Wilczydupy i przysięgam że po maturze ojebię sobie takiego irokeza

Niedpodzianka 🎁

@achillvs Matt, my dearest; @rogata453 my amazing and anyone who speaks Polish (speak up now or forever hold your silence)

I blame it on you Matt for pointing me towards polish music as a potential inspo for Jegulus and this is maybe a tad controversial, but hear me out:

Happy sad - Zanim pójdę AU

Regulus has been pining after James for years and he’s always there for him when Lily rejects him time after time and he suggests how James can get her cause he just loves him so much, he just wants James to be happy.

Until one day he snaps. Because James has been buying Lily flowers and plush toys and invite her on dates week after week and all that time Regulus has been right. there. all. along.

So he snaps. And shouts this at James (English translation in brackets)

Ale zanim pójdę chciałbym powiedzieć ci, że: (but before I go, I’d like to tell you this:)

Miłość to nie pluszowy miś ani kwiaty. (Love isn’t plus toys or flowers.)

To też nie diabeł rogaty. (It’s not the devil either.)

Ani miłość kiedy jedno płacze a drugie po nim skacze. (Or love when one cries and the other jumps on them)

Miłość to żaden film w żadnym kinie ani róże ani całusy małe, duże. (Love isn’t a cinema movie or roses or kisses small, big)

Ale miłość - kiedy jedno spada w dół, drugie ciągnie je ku górze. (But love- when one falls, the other drags them back up)

Obecnie jestem przekonana, że każda piosenka może być o Jegulus, a Anglicy i Amerykanie nawet się nie zorientują, ze jest to parafraza 😅
