Why do you ship Dorlene? I’m just curious, because we know nothing about any of them and I just don’t see where this ship is coming from. I get that there is no LGBT representation in HP, but personally I don’t think that’s the only reason why you should ship something. P.S.: I don’t want to offend anyone with this, ship whatever you want.

(( OOC: Most of it just comes from personal head canons. There are lots of ideas and plot points that my friends and I have come up with that have lead to me enjoying the ship. Fan fiction has played a big role in that as well.

Dorcas and Marlene are characters that haven’t really been developed by Rowling, so we’ve kind of taken them and created our own concepts for them.

Also… Lesbianism. Just Because Lesbianism. 👌 ))

((FUCKING POWER COUPLE!!))

–Marlene loves to dance in the rain and Dorcas gets super worried. it goes something like this: “wtf you idiot you’re going to die of hypothermia get in here right now and take off your wet clothes” “are you flirting with me? lol” “shut UP mckinnon”

–Marlene and Dorcas like to put on the Beatles records and dance around in there pajamas.

–they recite Shakespeare dramatically at each other.

–Marlene really loves the beach but Dorcas is like it is literally so cold and cloudy right now??? why would you want to go to the beach

–Dorcas loves those ridiculously sweet cinnamon-y coffees, and Marlene hates coffee in general.

–Marlene hates most alcohol, except champagne, because champagne is really bubbly/fizzy and it makes her happy. she’s a lightweight. Sirius and Dorcas make fun of her for that a lot but they’re “secretly” very overprotective of her when she’s drunk.

–Marlene tried to make blueberry pancakes for Dorcas once on her birthday. it was a disaster, and they don’t speak of it. ever.

–Marlene’s favorite book as a child was “The Wizard of Oz.” Marlene teases her about it because it’s an American book, but she actually thinks it’s adorable.

–Marlene has a black cat named Evelyn. she got it as a kitten when she was a first year.

–they start dating in 6th year.

–their “dates” usually entail Dorcas sneaking Marlene into the Gryffindor common room and cuddling.

–after Hogwarts they get a flat together and paint the kitchen yellow.

–Dorcas loves fairytales. she sits in front of the fireplace at night with Marlene and reads them outloud. she even writes some of her own. she finds the muggle fairytales that Marlene tells her about especially intriguing.

In a previous post you mentioned Marlene (McKinnon I’m assuming), Mary, and Dorcas and while I’ve seen their names floating around on Tumblr and I remember Marlene’s name from the books and I vaguely remember Mary being mentioned in Snape’s memories I still have no clue who they actually are and where they fit into the Marauders lives. Were they the girls who shared a dorm with Lily? And how do people know so much about them? (Is it from Pottermore because I haven’t gone on that in ages)

forget Pottermore TUMBLR IS YOUR POTTERMORE NOW

Mary, Dorcas and Marlene are Lily’s roommates yes

Dorcas is mentioned by Moody, she was in the first Order and she was killed by Voldemort.

Canon:
Marlene and her whole family was killed by Death Eaters before the Potters, she was in the Order.
Dorcas was killed by Voldemort before the Potters, personally, she was also in the Order.
Mary was the friend Lily references the most in Snape’s memories. We have no proof if she was in the order or if she lived or not.

Fanon:
Marlene is crazy and sassy and basically the embodiment of @askwhathasthiscometo
Dorcas is a bit less crazy, but still completely a marauder.
Mary is still a tiny character, and is still under represented.
Basically we turned Lily, Marlene, Dorcas, and Mary into the counterparts for the marauders. They get into just as much mischief as the boys, though are much better at not getting caught and most of the time their pranks are blamed on the boys. They are fiercely loyal to each other. Many people ship Marlene and Dorcas, which is always a very cute love story, often paralleling wolfstar.
Basically, we have no information so we created our own characters and we are your canon now, welcome and congrats.

(( – that you think this, actually. Thank you. AND GIVE MORE “COUNTERPARTS MARAUDERS” TO THE WORLD!! Everything is canon if you just believe.))
