Hot take: you cannot consider yourself a marauders fan if you haven’t read or watched the source material- or if you disregard source material entirely

There’s a difference between headcanons and just spewing complete bs that is so so far from the source material for bat it’s insane. And you know what- it’s okay I’ll let people have their headcanons but what I don’t like is when people treat their headcanons as canon when getting in an argument with another member of the fandom about canon things. For example- I saw someone say “I don’t like Remus because he left grant for Sirius” (if anyone doesn’t know grant is an oc from all the young dudes)- and I think that’s just about the stupidest thing I’ve ever hear considering that’s from a literal fanfic? That’s like saying “I actually hate Harry because my headcanon is that he became a death eater. You’re weird for liking Harry he’s a terrible person because of that.” Like excuse me?! I’m so done with some marauders fans. And I know what some people are going to say but have to break it to you: reading and referencing the source material is NOT the same as supporting jk. Harry Potter is not her “manifesto.” And there’s ways to read without buying the books and giving her money.

Sorry for rant but let me know if you agree or think otherwise!!
