Hear me out, Barty Crouch Jr and Thanos (Squid Game) are literally the same person, like do you see it?
I want this 👉👈
Marauders band AU:
James and Peter forming a band in their really early teens. Denim jackets, converse and matching hair. Sirius black coming along years later looking for an escape from his family all of which are world renowned classical composers. Cigarettes, liquid eyeliner and painted nails. Potter on the guitar, Pettigrew on Vocals/Keyboard, Black on the drums. Remus lupin found them last, an eighteen year old with nothing to loose, Doc martens, Scars and hands born to play the bass. Lily, Marlene and Mary a band who they met at a recording studio. Sirius putting up his hair with drumsticks. Regulus carrying on the black name with Barty, Evan, Pandora and Dorcas, playing violins and pianos and cellos at opera houses. Wolfstar being shipped by fans worldwide. Joint Instagram accounts. Regulus teaching James how to play on a keyboard because he didn’t want to overshadow Remus. Sirius and Regulus being seen arguing in Public, captured by Paparazzi. Leather jackets and designer suits. Remus himself having a tremor in his hands, he needs meds for just so they can stop shaking. Arguments before concerts. Chaotic interviews, music videos. Questions asked about love, Peter smirking, James blushing, Remus kissing Sirius. The whole lot of them LGBTQ+ icons, Remus, Lily and Regulus performed a song together once and everyone went mental. I could go on. The potential is here guys.
fluffy rosekiller is so underrated. sure they like to fuck each other, like A LOT. and they would absolutely kill for each other. but people tend to forget that they’re actually with each other.
barty always has a resting bitch face that only lights up when he sees evan. evan is the broody guy with lots of tattoos but he has the dopiest smile when he hears barty’s (loud asf) laugh.
they want each other and love each other at the same time.
THEY’RE MY PRECIOUS BABIES AND THEY DESERVE MORE LOVE.
barty is so "a pearl" by mitski coded.
he's sorry that he doesn't can't join the non-dark side (i'm not willing to call it the good side let's bfr it was sometimes darker than the "dark" side).
it's not that he hates the people that he's supposedly hates. it's just that he can't unlearn the things that he's been told is his future as a slytherin. he hates the fact that he's a part of the people who's "stuck in the past" and "can't undo past mistakes" but at the same time, he hates those who changed.
he hates that pandora decided to join the non-dark side and although she doesn't say it out loud, he knows that that side thinks that people like him are cowards. leave it to the gryffindors to point out when people are picking the safe option.
he hated regulus for sacrificing himself. how could he be so selfish as to leave him and evan alone? he just had to be brave at the last moment. out of all the things he could've given away, it was his life.
in azkaban, he thinks and thinks and thinks about those two sides and how they weren't all that different. how both he and sirius ended up at the same place for the same reason. they dared to hope.
the moment his father had said that evan was dead, all the hope and that small glimmer of light in him vanished. just. gone. and to think that he's got the better situation compared to sirius. atleast his friends don't hate his guts.
every night that's where he goes. back to the times where his arm doesn't feel like a 10 ton weight.
When Marlene and Barty first heard “Love was the law, religion was taught”, they fell to their knees
Barty: I’m just realising that you and I are actually quite similar
James: I can’t believe you just say that.. that’s so mean..
Effie: *telling stories of baby James, baby Marlene and baby Peter, and their childhoods to their friends*
Effie: “mamí my phone is gonna die, the card isn’t working” and I’d ask everytime “are you with anybody?”
Effie: cause I always— moms wanna know — is my son alone or does he have a friend that he’s at least with? And it was always:
Effie: “yeah, Marls and Pete”. So there was always this Marls and Pete who was always with him. And I thought “thank goodness for Marlene and Peter”.
(I’m doing research)
Barty, Dorcas & Evan: *walking into the Gryffindor common room*
Remus: *with his face in his hands with his shoulders moving up and down*
James: *on the ground laughing loudly*
Peter and Marlene: *with their hands on their knees, laughing loudly*
Dorcas: …what happened?
Remus: Marlene was trying to see if she could get on her broom inside-
Evan: uh oh
Remus: and she almost hit Peter with it and James said duck and they both quacked.
Guys he’s a simp okay, but like! Imagine if he was still a simp but this time, his partner was the one down bad!! Like you’d assume he’d be down bad but! It’s actually the other partner that’s chasing and inlove!!
“But I have seen the same. I know the shame in your defeat.”
But it’s Barty realising James is like him.
Regulus Black:
- He is terrified of hot concrete, once Sirius told him his shoes would melt and it would melt his feet as well and he didn’t believe him and still went walking on in, and the bottoms of his shoes did, infact, melt and he was terrified his feet would melt, still won’t walk on it.
Pandora Rosier/Lovegood:
- When she was 8 she snuck out of her bedroom, when she was supposed to be sleeping, and went outside to try and get a pet snail, didn’t find one, but found a bird instead and, somehow, managed to get it and she brought it back it side and slept with it still in her hands, and out of fear the bird had a heart attack, and she made everyone be there for the funeral and is still afraid of people being near or too close to birds.
Evan Rosier:
- Was out on a walk with a babysitter and Pandora went they were 6 and decided he wanted to try climb the tree with Pandora, but Pandora said he was too little (because she was bigger then him as a baby) but he ignored her and got the babysitter to help him. Then Pandora said that he will fall into the hole in the tree (the squirrel home) and he’ll get stuck in there, and scare the squirrels. The babysitter laughed and brought them back inside and now he will never climb a tree with a squirrel home in it, even though he won’t fit in the holes.
Barty crouch Jr:
- A rude maid once told him he couldn’t have honey in his tea while he was sick, because she was too lazy to go get it but she lied and told him, honey doesn’t go off and it will stay inside of him forever and if it mixes with the acid in his stomach he’ll explode. Then he asked his father if honey goes off and he said “no, of course it doesn’t.”, so now he hates honey.
“Art deco by Lana Del Rey” but the beat drop is just everyone’s (platonic or not) first impression of James Potter.
Literally all and any character from the Marauders era after they loss another person.
James: I think I broke something
Barty: I’ll buy you two more
James: … (I can buy my own stuff..?)
Barty: don’t even worry about it
James: I think I broke a bone
James: we literally just met???
Barty: I would kill for you.
James: takes care of everyone else before himself
Barty: takes care of James before anyone else
“You take get man out of the city, not the city out the man” but it’s what the marauders “city” would be
James Potter — you take the man out the love, not the love out the man.
Remus Lupin — the take the man out the werewolf, not the werewolf out the man.
Sirius Black — you take the man out the house, not the house out the man.
Peter Pettigrew — you take the man out the rat, not the rat out the man.
Lily Evans — you take the (wo)man out the magic, not the magic out the (wo)man.
Marlene McKinnon — you take the (wo)man out the betrayal, not the betrayal out the (wo)man.
Mary MacDonald — you take the (wo)man out the memories, not the memories out the (wo)man.
Regulus — you take the man out the black, not the black out the man.
Pandora — you take the (wo)man out the “crazy”, not the “crazy” out the (wo)man.
Evan — you take the man out the deatheater, not the deatheater out the man.
Barty — you take the dad out the man, not the man out the dad.
Dorcas — you take the loss out the (wo)man, not the (wo)man out the loss.

James was definitely the person everyone wanted to be, everyone definitely adored him. Even when they didn’t want to
For example:
Remus: “this bloody chatterbox can’t understand I don’t want to talk to him, just let me sleep before we get to the new school” *James trying to befriend him immediately not mentioning his scars at all* “ig him talking is something that’s somewhat tolerable”
Lily: “James is a git. He doesn’t know how to get that someone people just don’t like him!” *sees James helping Remus after a full moon* “oh.. well ig he ain’t that bad”
Regulus: “Potter is a rude egotistical man who stole my brother and thinks he’s amazing. Well he’s not.” *mets James in the astronomy tower and James calms his down from his panic attack* “nvm then..”
Barty: “who’s this Gryffindor freak who’s all smiley all the time?” *sees James helping Pandora and Mary get away from a touchy stranger* “well ig his smile ain’t bad so why not show it off ig?”
Remus: my dog just got hit by an ice cream truck.
Regulus: aww.. :(
Pandora: Reg.. what did you do?
Regulus: what? Sirius was being a bitch
Barty & James: oh!-
Pete: what would you wish for if you had three wishes from a genie, and you can’t wish for more wishes, more money or to bring people back from the dead
Pete: I’d wish for everytime I’ve ever wanted
Lily: ..okay, im feeling some undertones
Marlene: I’ve had some pretty bad wishes icl..
Remus: cause have you ever had a bad thought though, like ‘I wish I was dead’ or something?
James: or like you wish you could disappear?
Mary: exactly
Peter: ..no.
Sirius: I try to think positive..
Dorcas, Barty, Evan & Regulus: [who just wanted to stop by] . . .
so I wanted to make a little thingy
It probably started when someone was flirting with Barty and he wanted to get away and went: “shit I got to.. go see” *tries to think of something, mind goes to James* “my boyfriend!” (??). Then he keeps it going for shits and giggles, and then he panics when ppl ask him about it cause he doesn’t know why he thought of James out of everyone
———————————
A Ravenclaw: *flirting with Barty* so crouch.. I heard a little rumour that you fancy people with brains..
Barty: [who would rather be anywhere but there]
Barry: uhhh.. yeah I do, did you know Gryffindors are quite smart too? Like uhhh.. James Potter, for example, like his my boyfriend yk? and all-

Barty: yeah you didn’t know that? We’re dating
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Hufflepuff: so Barty..
Hufflepuff: [flutters eyelashes, smirks and puts hand on Barry’s thigh]
Hufflepuff: what do you do even Quidditch is on? Do you go back to your dorm.. because I could tag along..
Barty: no, I don’t. I actually uh, I normally go hang out with my.. boyfriend, James Potter. Yk the one who your team lost to? The captain and prefect? The one-
Hufflepuff: .. I’ll go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Doesn’t even make sense cause James would either be playing or watching all the games, but Barty wasn’t thinking)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marlene: Barty!
Barty: what?
Marlene: what is it I’m hearing ‘bout you and Jamie?
Barty: ..
Barty: uhh, where’d you hear that?
Marlene: I was near some Hufflepuffs and heard a mention of it
Barty: why you snooping near Hufflepuffs?
Marlene: don’t change the subject. What’s the deal?
Barty: I needed an excuse to get away from ppl so yk.. I used him as an excuse
Marlene: why James tho? Wouldn’t Evan be more useful, cause you see him daily
Barty: .. James was just the first person I thought of
Marlene: ..
Barty: I guess
Marlene: ..alright then-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dorcas: Barty.. why?
Barty: ‘why’ what? I didn’t even do anything!
Dorcas: Oh, so running around saying your dating, Potter? Is nothing?
Barty: you heard that did ya?
Dorcas: of course I did, I hear everything. May as well call me “Rita fucking Skeeter”
Barty: okay I did! People were annoying me and I just said “My boyfriend needed me” and just threw Potter’s name in there so people would shut up and leave me alone!
Barty: god do people ever stop and leave me alone? Stop asking me about it god!
Dorcas: ..

James: ..
James: ..you’re mind
Barty: yuh.. okay
Dorcas: ..(I wanna go home)
James Potter spends his day having breakfast with his lovely parents and they watch their favourite show together and have fun and look through all photos and they had sm fun thinking about the past and talking about the future. Then Marlene and Peter come and visit James and his parents and they talk about them childhood and their favourite memories. Marls and Pete give James his birthday present, its a collage filled of photos, glitter and stickers and filled with little notes and written backstory of what happened in each photo. Everyone cries because it’s so cute and it’s a lovely present. Then James goes off with Pete, while Marls goes off to do something “urgent”, to see Remus and Sirius. James, Remus, Sirius and Pete go to a lovely cafe and they get coffee and tea and they talk about everything and anything, they have fun and have loads of laughs, then Sirius brings out their present which us a box, colourfully decorated and inside is James’ favourite sweets, photos of James with the others, in his deer form and by himself and his favourite muggle bands and sports teams. Then they put a bandana over James’ eyes and then bring him somewhere.
When they take his bandana off his eyes he sees, all his friends (Sirius, Remus, Pete, Marls, Lils, Reg, Frank, Alice, Barty, Pandora ect ect.) and they all around a decorated beach house covered in fairy light and laughter. James partys, drinks, drags everyone to the dance floor, dances, laughs, jokes, blows out his candles and wishes everyone and everything would stay this happy forever.
