dorlene

a ship made by the harry potter fandom.

it consists of marlene mckinnon and dorcas meadows— who are only mentioned 1-3 times in the story.

dorlene is a ship for the time era of harry potters parents’ time in hogwarts—1970 to 1977.

this is the type of ship that wasn’t mentioned in the books or movies.

people have different opinions on ships and sometimes people could be judging and aggressive just because you think we don’t know enough about marlene (she was mentioned twice in the books in a sentence included other people) or think sirius never found anybody and not dorlene or wolfstar.

the majority of the hp fandom: “i love the ship dorlene—i think they would go great together”

a small amount of the hp fandom— with a different opinion: “i dont know. i think sirius might’ve been aero romantic and marlene and sirius were exes and never got a chance to find someone the liked. but whatever.”

jily

“Jily ” is a ship between James Potter (Harry Potter’s father) and Lily Evans Potter (Harry Potter’s mother.)

Fan arts or fan fiction with the Jily ship in it have James Potter constantly asking Lily Evans out, and Lily rejecting him.

Eventually, (if the ship is Jily and not another) Lily says yes to James.
Voldemort killed Lily and James in person on October 31, 1981.

Jegulus shipper: “I think the star crossed romance between Regulus and James would be better than James and Lily.”

Jily shipper: “I get what your saying but Regulus was perceived in some ways more of a blood purist— even though he died trying the destroy the horcrux. Sirius said Regulus was the better son so that means in some ways he was more desperate for his Mother’s approval. And if you think they got married, then Harry was never born. I understand why people say he was so much of a blood purist, but Regulus and James would’ve been different in many ways that wouldn’t make the romantically attracted to each other. Since Regulus is in Slytherin, if he was nice that he’d be out in Hufflepuff— its clear that your house is based off of your personality— so he has Slytherin traits. I just ship Jily more, that’s all.”
