please elaborate on rabastans full name I beg
only for you wief <3
it starts with rodolphus, rabastan's older brother. he was the one who was supposed to be everything the name marius represents: masculinity. leadership, strength, valor. only he wasn't that – he wasn’t a man. he was born physically impaired – cerebral palsy, not that they knew – and wasn’t seen worthy enough to lead.
enter rabastan. less emotionally intelligent, less street smart, less book smart, less patient and charming, but way stronger. their parents were basically manifesting rabastan to be a healthy a kid when naming him ‘marius’ – but don’t forget his nickname, bash, because that’s who he really is – reckless, rowdy, physically violent.
the name ‘marius’ itself has nobility and power, noble lineage and all – fits into the purebloods’ superiority complex
please tell me about perter judas pettigrew, i'm intrigued
peter’s parents (much like himself) were fakers. they weren’t christians, not religious, couldn’t quote the scripture if their life depended on it. mrs pettigrew’s family was religious – she, as established, was not but in hopes to keep her mother’s loud mouth shut gave peter a religious first & middle name.
as for why i want him to be named peter judas pettigrew i think we’ll have to get into their parallels. i think a few people have already pointed out the christian values & lessons in harry potter, so maybe judas & peter they purposefully had such similar storylines.
judas lived a good life. he handpicked by jesus christ himself – chosen from the masses to walk beside a man who turned water into wine, who made the blind see, who brought the dead to life. he was one of the only twelve to be called a disciple. he was close, trusted, beloved. judas was made the group’s treasurer, lived in the glow of miracles & broke bread with god.
& then judas betrayed jesus. thirty silver coins was all it took. the price of a slave, the cost of blood. he traded the light of the world for metal that clinked in his palm.
no one really knows why, from what i’ve googled. the gospels leave shadows where there should be answers. was judas crave revolution & grow tired of sermons on peace? was it inevitable – prophecy that his soul was marked for ruin before he ever drew breath? or did darkness whisper in his ear, twisting something once pure into something monstrous?
we don’t know.
there are versions in which he tried to undo the suffering he caused – in which when the silver hit his hands, the weight was too much. that he tried to repent, regain goodness. alone & overcome by guilt, the story ends with judas beneath a tree, a rope in his hands, the silver left behind in the dirt.
then you have peter with a hauntingly similar storyline: with james as his god. Handpicked, chosen by james, trusted with his life that he traded for... what, exactly? power? recognition? why did he betray his best friend, his idol? it’s possible he was scared into joining the death eaters, not a popular theory but a hypothetical nonetheless. & there was certainly a prophecy to be fulfilled.
peter kills himself too, at the end, at his own hand — or is it his own, if it wasn’t his flesh & blood? in a moment of guilt, he tried to make it right. he failed.
