“The Songs In The Radio Are Okay,

The Prisoner

D'you ever think Sirius and Lily would gang up with each other and take the piss out of James?

I think they did. I think they did it all the time, and were fucking hilarious.

i love when i post something like: “i’m working on something” tumblr apparently shows it to everyone and they keep thinking im constantly working on it

BUT THE MINUTE I ANNOUNCE IS READY… crickets. meanwhile i’m working on the next update on something completely unrelated

i want to write a little story of the women of family black, like sort of portraits of them.

first chapter following walburga from her last years at hogwarts up until sirius’s birth.

second chapter following bellatrix since the moment she met baby sirius until his selection into gryffindor or maybe her decision to marry into the lestrange family.

third chapter following andromeda from sirius’s selection til she ran away with ted.

fourth one following narcissa from the moment andromeda left til she found out she was pregnant with draco.

that’s what i’m thinking so far, but i would love to read some fics centered around the black family or, at least, the black sisters, so if you have any recommendations pls let me know! 🙏🏻

No new work :) catch old drawings

marlene mckinnon and sirius black adrenaline junkies.

Lily: It's okay you can tell me. How bad can it be?

Marlene:

Marlene: What is the thing you wouldn't allow?

Lily: Marls, I would defend you if you had a body to hide right now.

Mary: Oh, oh- you won't be defending this one!

Lily: What? The only thing that I would get mad at is her having anything to do with Potter. Like dating his best friend, for example- Mary why are you laughing-

Marlene:

Marlene: I'm so dead.

honestly i agree with everything.

all this fluff overload unlocked a scene i picture in my mind a while back. astra might get her fluffly one shot after all (though i’ll have to work hard not to turn into angst cause that’s my weakness 😬)

Sirius will literally have his hand in Marlene's back pocket at all times. They're standing casually talking to their friends and he slips his hand into the pocket of her jeans. He's standing so close to her that nobody notices he's doing it. It's simutaneously the most innocent and most erotic thing

some blackinnon headcanons

- they don’t use terms of endearment on each other. i believe sirius use them in a sardonic way, like if he calls you “darling” you are in trouble for sure. for marls, she’s the type to call little kids “sweetheart” when they come up to her with their troubles.

- sirius call her mckinnon most of the time in front of others o public situations and marlene/marls in private o delicate situations. for marlene is sirius most of the time, unless she’s trying to make a point, then she calls him black.

- marlene is not as confident as sirius but knows how to play at her strengths. quidditch it’s a big thing for her during school, but later on it’s also incantations so she is very good at certain types of magic. she’s particularly good at conjuring shielding charms. i like to think of it as a projection of her own heart.

- that last one also plays a part when sirius thinks of her after finding out she died. he can’t help but think if it were any other curse but the killing one, she might’ve survived.

- in general, marls has a bit of trouble with defense magic. she can protect and deflect easily, but attacks are more difficult for her. it’s not until she’s confronted with DE attacking people in front of her that she gets better at it. she’s better at doing things for others than herself in that sense (then again, marlene might’ve died protecting her parents or brothers).

- sirius is good at everything as we know, he’s annoying like that.

- marlene is really tall for a girl, almost the same height as most boys which is annoying cause she likes taller guys. enters: sirius black, annoyingly tall for everyone except for marlene.

- marlene doesn’t looks like it, but sirius is often times amaze at how strong she is. she doesn’t hold back either, how else could she be a good beater otherwise? also, has impecable aim.

- marlene gets better at healing charms, potentially even considering becoming a healer. not because she wants to, but because someone has to. it also has to do with the fact that sirius doesn’t particularly care for his own injuries, doesn’t seem to grasp the concept of being unable to defend anyone properly unless he’s in top shape. honestly marls doesn’t care either, so sirius has to learn a few charms to heal her too in the end. it’s the only way they allow for it to happen, by way of taking care of each other.

- sirius was the first to realize they were something worthwhile. he’s not really the type of guy to pour his heart out, but at some point he does ‘cause his running out of ways of showing marlene he’s not going anywhere. probably the most frightening thing he ever did in that regard.

- marlene is not exactly the prettiest girl in school, but she’s the type of girl annoyingly label as “one of the guys” except said guys actually wants to go out with her. it’s more her vibe than anything else.

- visually they are the complete opposite: dark/light hair/eyes, sharp/soft features (i have a whole stupid canon of the blacks actually being black that could also work here, but i’ll keep it that way for now) also marlene hair is long when sirius is short and vice verse.

- marls doesn’t like to read much and sirius doesn’t nap often, but on the rare occasions that happens, sirius lays on her chest and marls read above his head.

- they both get kinda lost without a sense of purpose so whenever they feel the other may be as risk of spiraling, they come up with crazy plans or invent something they need the help of the other. they know is a lie, but play along anyway. it helps.
