Marauders Era Women - Tumblr Posts
Let's make February the marauders non-men month like last year!!! For a calendar (which day is for who) search death boy (Taylor's version) on tiktok.
Today is Emmeline Vance day so I wanna share some of my headcanons:
One year older than the marauders
Halfblood
Vietnamese
Ambulatory wheelchair user, but still can fly and is quite good at quidditch (seeker)
Hufflepuff
Her mother was very strict and put a lot of pressure on her to academically succeed, so she was an overachiever
Had two older sisters who were both in Ravenclaw (her mom was very disappointed when she was sorted into Hufflepuff)
VERY hardworking and loyal
Childhood friends with Emma Vanity and Benjy Fenwick, roommates with Amelia Bones and Hestia Jones
Lesbian - she/her
This is more Emmary, but I 6th year (Mary's 5th) she was helping Lily prepare for the OWLs and Marlene with Mary joined after some time. Then her and Mary started to fall in love and even send secret letters over the summer. Their first kiss was in November 1976 in a.... BROOM CUPBOARD!!! (ik VERY original)
Her parents were homophobic and toxic, so she kinda cut ties with them after leaving hogwarts (she still kept in touch with her sisters)
Between the wars she was training new aurora (including Tonks)
She died trying to protect others and the Prime Minister
Mary was heartbroken after her death
That's it for now! If you've got any questions about the wheelchair one I think they have some wizarding accomodations so she can fight in it and stuff.
I'M MAKING LIKE A MARAUDERS SERIES OF INCORRECT QUOTES AND MICROFICS BC I' BORED AND OBSESSED WITH THEM (and I probably should be studying)
Soooo... It's more like an AU thing, everyone survives war, Voldy is dead and they're all happy and gay.
It's mostly focused on raising Harry and Luna. James is with Regulus, Lily is in a relationship with Mary and Pandora (Xeno is Panda's ex, but they're besties). They all live in a big house in Godric's hollow. Lily and Reg have a bookshop-cafe (Remus is a waiter) James is a Quidditch professional. Pandora and Sybill do experiments with spells, potions etc. and write articles to Quibbler. Peter (Sybill's partner) owns a bakery, where James helps him when he retires from Quidditch. Mary and Sirius have a gay bar in town (Mary is a waiter/singer and Sirius is a bartender). Marlene, Dorcas and Emmeline live in London and are aurors. Barty and Evan sometimes help out in both cafe and bar (they're not allowed into Pete's bakery after the flour and milk incident).
Reg, Lily and Panda are animagi, Lily is a ginger cat, Panda is a bunny and Reg is aaaaa... BLACK CAT! (I'm being very original again).
Sirius is genderfluid and uses all pronouns, Panda uses also uses any except for he/him, Remus and Reggie are transmasc, Mary is transfemme, Xeno uses they/them, Peter he/they
Pandora is Evan's twin
I think that's it for now.
Emmeline Vance (again)
Would anyone be interested in a canon compliant fanfic about the Black sisters? Andy and Bella are twins, cause why not, Narcissa is one year younger. It would have graphic depiction of violence (crucio, fights etc) and Bella slowly going insane. It would include Quillkiller, Tedromeda and Nobleflower (no smut or anything!!!) I'm thinking about writing it, but I probably wouldn't be able to update regularly and English isn't my first language. I can post some of it on Tumblr, but I'm planning the whole work on Ao3. It would be my first published fic. I'm warning you - A LOT of angst!!!
Since it's marauders non-men month and I didn't post anything about it yesterday, I wanted to share some of my headcanons on Amelia Bones and Emma Vanity
Amelia:
One year above the marauders
Hufflepuff
Shared dorm with Emmeline Vance and Hestia Jones
Aroace, non binary they/them, preferred to go by Am
Loved Quidditch and always supported Emmeline
Swedish but sucked at the language
Met Emma Vanity through Emmeline and they became friends quickly, and in 7th year diced to have a queerplatonic relationship
Twins with Edgar Bones and had a younger brother named Michael (Susan Bones's father)
Was a fan of KISS
Could look kinda mean and scary, but was a true sweetheart
Loved dying their hair different colours every few weeks
In 5th year they would wear sunglasses EVERYWHERE and nobody knew why
Very smart, best subject was Transfiguration
Atheist
Their family was Christian, but very accepting, so the had great contact with them. After all of them were killed Am was heartbroken
Micheal would sometimes leave them with little Susan, but they didn't really mind (what is the gender neutral term for aunt/uncle?)
Loved their niece, younger brother and sister-in-law
Emma Vanity
Halfblood
Obsessed with Quidditch (Slitherin Keeper)
One year above the marauders
Childhood friends with Emmeline Vance and Benjy Fenwick
In Hogwarts met Amelia, Hestia, Caradoc Dearbone and Edgar Bones
You say one bad thing about her friends and you can dig your grave 🪦
Aroace mean lesbian - she/they
Didn't really care about clothes or anything but still was somehow the 'IT girl'
Could and will kill you with just the stare
Scarcastic
Very strict Quidditch captain, but had a soft spot for Reg and Dorcas
QPR with Am
Had a soft spot for little Susan and was the 'could auntie Emma'
Mexican
Her father died when they were little,raised by her mom and grandma
Grandma was kinda conservative so they had a love-hate relationship when Emma came out
Knew Spanish
Their family was good friends with Fenwicks and Vances
A member of Order of the Phoenix (first and second)
Between wars played professionally
One of the only survivors
Almost went mad after Emmeline's and Amelia's death (was ready to bury Snape and Dumbledore alive)
Her and Mary were keeping each other sane
It's marauders non-men month and today is Sybill Trelawney day so...
Half-blood
They/she, bisexual
Half Romani from their mother's side
Ravenclaw
One year younger than the marauders
Shared a dorm with Pandora
Her and Panda were besties
Was friends with Xenophilius Lovegood and Septima Vector
Peter and them were dating in her 5th, 6th and 7th year (they broke up after they had a vision about Pete being a traitor. She was trying to warn everyone but no one would listen to them, bc they known as 'the crazy one')
Was autistic with ADHD
Was REALLY clumsy and would trip over their own feet and bump into things all the time.
Would carry around plasters and even bandaids
Loved the type of clothes that I drew her in
Would have a shared wardrobe with Xeno and Panda
5'3 tall (the shortest in her friend group)
Was vegetarian
Loved pasta and green tea
Really looked up to her great grandmother - Cassandra, a great and famous seer
Was bullied badly in first 2 years (in 3rd year Septima found out about it and quickly made the bullies regret that they were even born)
Besides divination their fav subjects were numerology and herbology
Would come up with the weirdest conspiracy theories ever in like middle of a class
Due to her clumsiness their clothes would get damaged. Xeno would have to fix them regularly (they would actually sew and not use a spell)
Could not cook for shit. Literally, she can burn WATER. She would just put things in the oven and then just... forget. They would not even smell that something is burning and if it wasn't for Xeno, she would start an actual fire at Hogwarts. They were forbidden from the kitchen by first her mom when they were 7 and we're learning how to cook and then in second year by Pandora, when she wanted to make her a birthday cake (let's say the dorm didn't look very well after that)
Very forgetful and lost things easily. Would put her glasses on a table, walk to another room and be like: 'Hmmm... Where are my glasses???'
The definition of a cat lady (all of them were black stray cats obvi)
Would like girl in red, Hozier and Beach Bunny
Wouldn't be a fan of quidditch but would support Septima during matches (her, Panda and Xeno would wear these hats with a raven like Luna and ABSOLUTELY SLAY in them)
A total Pandalily shipper
Really messy hair
Had a little crush on Septima in 4th year and they even kissed once in spin the bottle, but Septima would be in love with Aurora Sinistra
I think that's it + my fanart
Yoyok is Sirius this, yoyok is Reg that ...
WHAT ABOUT YOUR ON YOUR OWN KID IS LILY EVANS?????
Like
summer went away, still the yearning stays, I play it cool with the best of them
She's homesick, she doesn't want to loose Snape cause that's everything that connects her with her home, but...
I wait patiently
Hes gonna notice me
It's ok we're the best of friends.
About Snape ignoring and avoiding her before their friendship ended
I hear it in your voice, you're smoking with your boys
Snape and Mulciber/Avery
I didn't choose this town, I dream of getting out
She didn't choose to be a witch or go to Hogwarts, she wants to reconnect and fix her relationship with Petunia
There's just one, who can make me stay
Remus, Mary, Marlene...
And then
From sprinkles splashes to fireplace ashes I gave my blood sweat and tears for this
To become the greatest witch and prove her bullies wrong
I hosted parties and starve my body
Plus size Lily being insecure in like 6th year
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
Lily was a lesbian. She didn't know it yet and tried to get a boyfriend to 'be normal'. She thought she just ' hadn't found the good man yet'
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money
Ok, hear me out - CANONICALLY she got with one of the richest wizards (I think they had a very close platonic relationship and Lily was with Mary and/or Pandora and James was with Regulus)
My friends from home don't know what to say
Petunia and Snape. I'll leave you with that.
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
In my head they survive the war, so like shes been through a lot
And I saw something they can't take away
Her friends, loved ones, family
Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
The war ended, a lot has changed
Everything you loose is a step you take
She lost Snape and Petunia she got a new family
So make the friendship bracelets take a moment and taste it you've got no reason to be afraid
You're on your own kid
Yeah you can face this
Your on your own kid
You always has been
Make new relationships, enjoy the moment, it's up to u.

I just made something...
Marauders X Army dreamers by Kate Bush because this fandom loves suffering.
And I made an intro post like a month ago where I was asking people to be my moots. If you're interested, go check it out. (I'm begging you, I need more friends in my fandoms).
Yk what I'm thinking about? Mary McDonald. And I am going to make it everyone's problem.
She was born in Brazil and she lived there until she was 7. Her mom is Latino and her dad is black. She speaks fluent Portuguese. Her family, especially her father's side, are VERY religious. She has an older sister, younger brother and sister (who are twins). In England she lives in London with her family. They were quite poor. They lived in a small apartment. They lived close to their grandparents from the father's side. They were old very religious and conservative. And I hc that Mary is a trans woman. She didn't realise until her second year at Hogwarts. McGonagall was the one who made it possible for her to transition. However when she was coming back for summer she would have to make herself look like a boy, so her family won't know. They were the kind of people that would most likely beat her up for it. Her dad was obsessed with toxic masculinity. He would make Mary do typically "masculine" stuff when she was younger. She was trying to suppress her femininity most of the time she was home, but it didn't work. Most of her summer she was miserable. She couldn't get her transition potions and would be constantly deadnamed and misgendered. She only came out to her family at the end of 7th year when she knew she wouldn't come back. She wrote her family a letter. She was hesitant to send it, but Marlene and Lily changed her mind.
She was very feminine. Her favourite colour was pink. She absolutely LOVED cherries. Her favourite band was ABBA. She loved heels, makeup, dresses and all the stereotypically girly stuff. Her best friends were Lily, Marlene and Sirius. She would also hang out with other marauders a lot. She was in the dorm with the marauders for the entire first year.
She was very extroverted. She loved parties and dancing. She was a people person. She was very popular. Most people found her at least pretty (though not everyone wanted to admit that they were attracted to a trans girl, cause yk, it was the 70s).
Regardless of all that she also got bullied a lot. She was a muggleborn, dark-skinned trans girl. That was the "perfect" target for Mulciber, Avery etc. They would pick on her, call her slurs and stuff like that. They also would call her sexist stuff for having a lot of relationships with guys (sl*t, wh*re, etc.). Marlene would regularly curse them for it. She was assaulted by Mulciber at the end of their 5th year (it needs to be talked about more btw). Mulciber was "expelled" from school after that, but his family was very influential and he got back.
She was bisexual. Her first crush on a girl was Marlene, but she was too scared to admit it. She also had a crush on Lily in like 4th/5th year, but she didn't confess to her.
In the 5th year she met Emmeline. Em was tutoring her for the OWLs (she was a year above). They both developed a huge crush on each other. They started dating in Mary's 6th year. They were actually adorable.
She didn't want to take part in the war. She definitely could fight, but she didn't want to. She was scared of losing all of her friends.
After the war her and Emmeline wanted to get custody of Harry, but Dumbledore was a stupid d*ck.
Between wars she was trying to reach out to Remus. He was living with Emmary for a few months after Halloween in 1981. They got a lot closer.
She also became friends with Amelia Bones and Emma Vanity (Em's besties)
She didn't want Emmeline to fight in the second war. They argued about it a lot. When they last saw each other Emmeline promised to be careful and that Mary had nothing to worry about. But she didn't come home. In the morning Mary found out that she got killed. She considered obliviating herself, but she stayed for Emma.
After the war they would lift each other up. They were good friends and each other's reason to still stick around.
If she lived today she would like 2000s music, doja cat and artists like that. Her favourite Taylor swift album would be 1989.
I think that's it for now. Thank you for coming to my Mary talk.
