What do you think of 'Paddy' as a nickname for Padfoot? I know Padfoot is already a nn but it's long and seems more like a code name than an actual nn people would use to address someone in conversation, and it just doesn't really roll of the tongue (that's just me, I know it's canon that they actually called him Padfoot out loud as per SWM). But I like the idea of them nickname-ifying their nns even further like Wormtail becomes Wormy (which is somewhat canon and hilarious). I'm not a native speaker though so I obsessively google everything to make sure nothing sounds weird or out of place and I had to do that here, too, which resulted in me finding out that Paddy is not only a nn for Patrick (which is not a problem) but it's apparently also a slur for a person of Irish descent? Umm... The other popular alternative would be 'Pads' but that reminds me of menstrual products so no thanks haha. Do you have any suggestions? As a non-British person I'm wondering if Paddy is okay or is it completely tone-deaf?

So I can’t definitively say that Paddy isn’t a slur everywhere , but I’ve never heard it used as such. Normally it’s just a shortened version of Patrick. If anyone wants to chime in?

I enjoy playing with the name Snuffles as it’s so cutsey and such a contrast to how both Sirius and Padfoot present themselves.

@artemisia-black 100% agree:

*Sirius - I’m so cool I own a massive motorbike and my animagus form is a huge scary dog that looks like the death omen - Black walking down the Charms corridor in Hogwarts wearing aviator style sunglasses*

Everyone: *fanning themselves*

The Marauders: Ayo, mate, what’s up, Snuffles?

@in-flvx your tags are too good 😂😂😂

You know how sometimes there’s one person in a friend group whom every friend would date if they asked? I’m not saying James Potter was that friend but James Potter was that friend

I disagree. I think Remus was that friend. Or maybe frank longbottom

You can feel free to disagree, I’m just going based off what I read into the source material:

  • Sirius Black who has a girl eyeing him hopefully in his OWL exam and instead looks at James from four rows away
  • Sirius Black who is literally so codependent with James that they cannot spend even like an hour apart to do separate detentions so they communicate via magical mirror
  • Sirius Black who runs away from home and runs straight to James
  • Sirius Black who travels with James on the back of his motorbike sporting matching t-shirts
  • Remus Lupin who considers himself a monster but has zero problem murdering someone if it’s on behalf of James 
  • Remus Lupin who is twice talked down from extreme action through the mention of James’s values and desires 
  • Remus Lupin who was ‘studying for Transfiguration’ while James was playing with his snitch after the OWLs but still was paying him enough attention to remember him doing it twenty years later
  • Peter Pettigrew who watches James ‘in awe’ as he plays with the snitch and literally applauds him for catching well 
  • Peter Pettigrew who blushes when he’s called out for being too enthusiastic about mooning over James
  • Peter Pettigrew, who watches James and Sirius ‘hungrily’ as they advance to commit misdeeds 

In conclusion, I think everyone wanted to date James at least a little bit.

I hate when people call a james a bully bc of a one time event that we only have very biased pov of. but what if that james is a bully? who cares? our james is not a bully. jk might have pictured him as a bad guy, but james, the marauders, are not hers anymore. they're ours. we made those characters. we know their favourite color, their music taste, their favourite desert, how they wear they hair, who always won at chess, who knew how to braid, who liked to read, who liked to go for late night walks and who was an early bird who never needed coffee, their best subjects, their pets, the little doodles they made when they were bored in class. her james might have been stupid and mean, but ours was kind and caring. our james talked too loud and loved even louder. our james woke up so early in the morning to play quidditch it was still night. he got distracted easily and could never stop moving, either running through corridors or bouncing his leg or flying on a broom, always doing something. his parents were his best friends. his best friends were his brothers. his love, his lily, was everything he ever dreamed of. he walked around with broken glasses when there were millions of spells to fix them. this is our james, our prongs.
