james potter is the most loving and enthusiastic boyfriend possibly ever
seriously, he's so full on it's actually impressive
but it never gets annoying or overwhelming, no. it's always super endearing
you never feel unloved with him
super big on forehead or temple kisses; he just thinks they're super cute and convey his love for you extremely well
if you ever want to calm him down, press a kiss to his knuckles or cheek - it works like a charm every time
james' hair is extremely unruly - we all know this - so if you run your hands through it in an attempt to detangle it, he will melt on the spot
things that also make james melt on the spot include;
falling asleep on his shoulder
wearing his quidditch jersey, especially in the stands of his games if he has a spare
bringing him dinner if quidditch practice runs particularly late
just anything about you, really
he likes to have an arm around your shoulder when you walk down the corridors, or your hand in his
if you aren't too comfortable with pda, he's fine with linking pinkies or a soft kiss to the back of your hand every now and again
at the end of the day, he wants you to be as happy as possible
james constantly pushes up his glasses with his middle finger, so often in fact he does this even when he isn't wearing his glasses as a reflex
it just looks like he's flipping everyone off unprompted
you and sirius tease him a lot for this and stick your own middle finger up at him in return
it confuses him for at least a whole minute until he realises what he's done
"you've got to stop doing that, 's not fair" "all's fair in love and war, james"
he can get a little carried away at parties - especially if gryffindor wins the quidditch cup - but he'll sober up in an instance if you need him to
you're too tired/drunk and want to go to bed? suddenly he's stone cold sober and carrying you up the stairs to his dorm
he loves dancing with you though, and will try to keep you close to him all night to ensure you're safe and having fun
you'll twirl each other around, bounce around, fling your limbs in all directions, anything
james isn't the best dancer, okay
you are one of the only people who can get james to study
he'll decline going to the library with remus, but as soon as you ask him if he wants to go?
he's grabbing his books and rushing after you without a second thought
if you're the one who's against studying however, he goes full on mother mode
drags you to the library and insists you do your homework so you don't get a detention
speaking of - this boy is no stranger to detention, and definitely no stranger to sneaking you in whenever he can because he 'gets bored'
one time you get caught and mcgonagall simply can't understand why you willingly brought yourself to detention
wakes you up by peppering kisses all over your face, ignoring your complaints and protests
but if you try to wake him up? good luck
he'll wrap his arms around your waist and pull you into bed with him
he always insists you don't have to come to his early morning quidditch practices, but he's secretly over the moon when you drag yourself out of bed for them
goes all out for your birthday
i'm talking presents, a cake he somehow managed to get, making the whole great hall sing happy birthday to you at breakfast, and a small party/gathering of all of your friends
any chance he can take to show you he loves you, he will
james potter best boyfriend thank you <3
i luv this boy so much,, i just wanted to write some things for him okay, forgive me if they aren't the best/in character <3

marauders era masterlist <3
thinking of watching jo march say, "i'm so sick of people saying love is all a woman is fit for! i am so sick of it! but i'm so lonely!" for the first time, feeling like your soul left your body and thinking, oh, someone was brave enough to say it out loud.
oh real and fictional older sisters, you'll always be tragic.
Thoughts about James that will never get out of my head:
One summer he doesn't let his mom cut his hair and he gets a cute lil mullet and he likes it when you play with his hair and put little braids into it
him being allergic to pollen so when spring rolls around he's always sneezing, especially during quidditch. him still buying you flowers all the time even though they make him sneeze.
When he gets up in the morning he throws his legs over the side of the bed and sits up and stretches, laying in bed and watching the way his back muscles stretch and compress as he loosens up his shoulders and back.
when he's on some tangent about quidditch and you're listening very intently giving him all of your attention and he meets your eyes briefly and entirely loses his train of thought because you make him so flustered.
Cooking with him and Euphemia, but also after she and Fleamont pass away, going through her cookbooks and making every recipe with James because he misses the smell of her cooking In the house.
climbing trees with him during the summer in his back yard. Sitting in the branches reading and talking, until Euphemia calls you in for dinner.
when he gets a cold he's very stubborn about how he doesn't get sick so you basically have to force him to drink tea and broth so he gets better.

I really am going to have a life away from all of this, away from these people. It’s going to be a whole different life and everything I imagine is possible because it’s out there and there’s no reason I can’t have it. My past will make me appreciate it more and I’ll be so happy I can barely believe it. It’ll be MY life, not one where I have to walk on eggshells or have my situation be the first thing I think of when I wake up. It’s out there, I just have to believe that I’ll get it it soon
girl wtf is wrong with you (me to me)
When days are hard, like today, than I just wish for someone to hold me tight and tell me it will be alright.
I am she
She’s a ten but anytime she’s going through a hard time, she automatically reads and listens to music all day because she would rather escape this world and focus on other peoples sorrow and problems than her own.
