#wdev says things

to clarify - i'm arospec (maybe acespec but i've given up labelling) and my best friend is aroace, which means we have like?? a lot of conversations on like whoaaa are allo people joking about romantic attraction etc etc

and i'm still?? really confused. i definitely (probably) feel it because i have before, but people really need to start defining it better!! like you look at an allosexual person's article on how to tell if you're romantically into someone, and it goes:

"how to tell if you're in romantic love with someone. 1) you miss them when they're not around. 2) you smile when you text them. 3) you want to be close to them often. 4) you may start daydreaming about your future with them and their likely constant place in it. 5) you'd choose them out of a room of people. 6) you'd feel jealous if they started putting you aside for another person."

do people not like their friends?? because i smile when i text my friends, and i miss them, and i want to be close to them, and some of them i want in my life forever (maybe even to live with), and i'd choose them from a room of people, and i value my time with them?? i know i'm not attracted to them. and i guess it's just issues with the phrasing of everything but uggggghhhhh. pet peeve idk. romantic relationships are not "more important" than other relationships you do not need "the one"

Marlene: This is why girls don’t like you!

James: how do you know girls don’t like me?!

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE modern context just because!!!

goth (plus size) lily evans x golden retriever james potter the bisexual couple ever i have so much to say okay...this may require images or links idk

they give vampire and favourite human. this is the first thing i have to say because when they're standing side by side, one of them pale with a full-face goth look going on and a bloody lip, and the other smiling guilelessly around at the world...idk it's just the first thought that comes to mind

lily has, obviously, an entire dresser's worth of pale concealers and foundations and dark lipsticks and two-centimetre-long sets of lashes and eyeliners. this can go one of two ways:

way 1: james still, after three years of dating, has no idea what the fuck any of them are. that little tin dish of product is made for your lips, right? (it's eyeshadow)

way 2: he knows what everything is down to the t. could name at least ten brands of each product off the top of his head. yeah, that brand is fine, but if you want longevity as well as a sheer look you should really go for this one instead. at least that's what his girlfriend says, anyway

moving on

lily has done him up in full goth drag at least once.... THIS tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vittumax video/7559076764689992982?lang=en

^ that's it....that's it. that's him. he's feeeeeeling himself

lily has glasses for her long distance vision that she barely ever uses but for when she does she has different varieties to match her outfits like

do you know what i mean. those. with that little bat charm.

james has definitely accidentally grabbed one of these pairs at least twice and his friends are always like....you've got the wrong ones. he's like i THOUGHT everything was blurry

he has showed up to at least several white shirt events with dark lipstick smudged all over his collar and hasn't realised until somebody has pointed it out

lily like. jingles everywhere she walks because she's decked out in lots of gorgeous layered jewellery so james can now tell if the person approaching him is her based on hearing alone

they also both smell really nice?? this is such an abnormal thing to say but lily started wearing really nice perfumes and colognes and slowly started getting james them as well and now they're like. swapping things on the daily. who's that beautiful woman walking by smelling of black tea, vetiver, cloves and musk? just james potter actually

i don't own any of these but purely going off scent profile descriptions

this is stupidly long i love them so much ask me about them all the time i swear ughhhh plus size goth lily jily forever

THIS I CAN DO YAY modernish context i guess?? it's pretty ambigous

they grow up like relatively close to each other and i think their parents know each other to begin with (marlene with a nice relationship with her parents context obviously)

it's like. book style childhood friends. running in and out of each other's gardens and houses with scraped knees and handfuls of toy cars and rocks and broken bits of chalk

drawing on the pavement and outlining each other in red and white like those MISSING BODY outlines

and it doesn't really stop

like there's never a point where they drift apart, even if things change sometimes

they're six years old and play fighting with sticks, grass stained knees and floppy hats

then they're eight years old and determined to start a band with monty's old acoustic guitar and a couple marracas. they never get too far, but there are some videos of them singing ABBA on a camera somewhere

then they turn ten and marlene is teaching james how to double bounce on the trampoline

and then they're thirteen sitting on the same bit of grass in james's front garden that they always have and marlene is saying she thinks she likes girls instead of boys, maybe. james says he thinks he might like boys as well as girls

two summers later he helps her bleach her hair for the first time in the bathroom sink and she pierces his ears for him

none of it matters

i don't think it ever changed, is what i'm saying?? they never out grew oneanother and they never drifted apart

do you get what i mean?? i think it's vital to the vision

effie teaches marlene how to ride a bike. marlene's mum teaches james how to tie a necktie.

marlene teaches james how to change the oil on a car and james teaches her how to cook

they have toothbrushes at eachother's houses and shared shirts that marlene keeps cutting the fucking arms off. they were workout buddies when marlene went through a gym phase

when school finishes they go on a gap year together!! they go to greece, where marlene refuses to put on suncream and gets burnt to hell and back, and greece, where james almost breaks a marble carving. all the way to australia, at one point, where james falls off a surf board and gets mistaken by marlene's grandparents for her boyfriend

sirius as charli xcx. i said what i said. bonus if they're transfem but they don't have to be. it's charli baby -> it's siri baby....yelling "girl you walk like a bitch when i was ten someone said that" across a stage.... von dutch club classic in your ear drums....

MARAUDERS (pete james sirius remus)

peter: keyboard!! something about him layering sound effects idk. he'd make great djo style music imo

james: drums because he would be amazing and lovely OR might be getting controversial here but guitarist,,,,i lean towards guitarist right now BECAUSE

sirius: vocalist and guitarist obviously because rockstar in the making, charli xcx brat au..... but consider. drummer. swap james and sirius to put sirius on drums. unbelievable i know but thing about it....long hair tied back...always tapping rhythms on his desk absently....stress reliever....please somebody see it

remus: bass. lanky guy plucking at the strings of a bass that he loves like a child. probably biting the inside of his cheek in concentration. i know you see it

VALKYRIES (mary lily marlene):

mary: vocals. fight me…she's got a gorgeous voice (like raye vibes..) and she a fantastic stage presence

lily: guitar because I think she'd be AMAZING on acoustic, drums because she'd kick arse

marlene: guitar because she's a rockstar!!! drums because her bleached hair is flying everywhere and she's got a heavy foot on the kick pedal and she does the shouty ONE TWO THREE FOUR at the beginning of songs

SKITTLES/PANTHEON (pandora dorcas barty evan reg)

pandora: bass or vocals. she'd kick arse on bass….so mystical and cool…but on vocals i think she'd sound like WILLOW idk fight me on this

dorcas: bass!!! she plays bass. she plays bass

barty: drums or vocals!! vocals because YUNGBLUD I cant lie….think about it….pandora as WILLOW and barty as YUNGBLUD doing memories… and then drums because he's bashing at them like a man on a mission to kill and his neighbours hate it and he loves it more than anything

evan: bass or guitar. bass because it fits with his whole thing,,,low notes, deadpan face, quiet but lovely and horribly freakish sort of vibe (and because i'm deeply and irrevocably in love with him), guitar because he'd be great and also. rosekiller context going over to stand by barty and kind of looking down at him whilst playing. i love them

regulus: vocals. or drums i guess but vocals!!!!!!!!! he'd give a kevin atwater vibe

EXTRAS/OTHERS:

narcissa: bass,,,,long hair in her eyes, baby blue bass on a strap over her shoulders. everyone dies of gay

lucius: guitar or vocals!! hair in a ponytail, grungey music. smudged eyemakeup. everyone dies of gay AGAIN
