Chapter Text
Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't want to stay alive
When you're 25
First of all, that is extremely relatable Secondly, none of the marauders lived very long, and regulus essentially died on a suicide mission
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks & Sparks
I can absolutely imagine mary and marlene stealing clothes from shops together and lily being like “guys… none of you are broke” and marlens’s like “LIVE A LITTLE LILY IT’S FOR THE THRILL OF IT” and then Dorcas who had been waiting outside with lily stars singing thriller by Michael Jackson or The Thrill by whiz Khalifa and it’s all very chaotic I just looked it up and thriller actually came out in 1982 and the Thrill was in 2009 so that won’t work because they were all already dead! (sobs)
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
So I thought this was “the scars on his face” and therefore like, remus and all his scars from his transformations. HOWEVER (omygodijustgotarellygoodidea) you know how a lot of the Black family have star names? What if it was Sirius trying to separate himself from his family and their astronomy tendencies, ripping the stars from his face, his soul, his memories, his blood, but there will be consequences to those actions so… spots/scars I actually I can’t believe I just came up with that it’s poorly written but I came up with an idea for the fandom! Sometimes I feel like everyone has already come up with all the best headcannons and then my brain will supply this and I’ll be like, oh, that’s actually pretty good if I do say so myself. (sorry, sorry, I’ll try to stay on subject for the rest but I can make no promises)
Funky little boat race
The boats to cross the lake to get to Hogwarts, you know? In first year? And also, I saw somewhere that the graduation ceremony at Hogwarts is all the 7th years crossing the lake on those same boats to leave for the last time. The marauders and their friends will have been together and happy for the last time before they all joined the war and had their lives torn apart.
Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
This just makes me think of the scene in atyd where there are gay singers on tv at st edmund’s and matron turns them off saying they shouldn’t be on screen where kids can see them…
Oh, man, I need TV when I've got T.Rex
Sirius and Remus’ t.rex addiction
Oh brother, you guessed I'm a dude, dad
Sirius, Remus, Reg, Barty, Dorcas I think, with their daddy issues
All the young dudes (hey dudes!)
Carry the news (where are you?)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up, c'mon)
Carry the news
This line just makes me think of Mary calling Remus in ATYD to tell him about Lily and James dying and Sirius being arrested. And that breaks my heart let me tell you.
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to talk to you, all of you)
Carry the news (now)
Lucy looks sweet 'cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
You guys must have seen fanart of Sirius dressing really fem and then beating people up?
But we can love
Oh, yes, we can love
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
When Sirius left to go to Hogwarts and knew he would have to leave Reg at Grimaud place and was so scared for him so he left him with some of his records and a make-shift record player
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag, too many snags
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Reg’s Patronus being a black cat and Sirius sleeping with him when they were younger and scared in that house. Also Peter in rat form being chased by crookshanks lol
Oh, is that concrete all around
Or is it in my head? Yeah
Sirius in Azkaban trying not to go mad but also he can’t always tell what’s real or not. Sometimes he’ll have a nice dream, with nice memories of his friends, and then he’ll wake up and it would be like losing them all over again. Even after Sirius got home to Remus, he still wakes up from those dreams (as well as nightmares from his childhood) expecting to be in Azkaban. Remus sits with him through the panic attacks, trying to convince him that he’s at home, out of jail, and safe.
I'm a dude, dad
Also Reg coming out to Walburga and Orion… I imagine that was not fun
All the young dudes (hey dudes)
Carry the news (where are you?)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)

Carry the news (let's hear the news, c'mon)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you)

The friends are Remus and Peter (ugh Peter yuck) pushing James to the front of the crowd
All the young dudes (now you bring him down)
('Cause I want him)
Carry the news Boogaloo dudes (I want him right here)

All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years)
“I’ve wanted to do this for years” is Remus finally kissing Sirius
