sirius stole one of marlene’s rings and wears it on his pinky. marlene stole one of sirius’ and wears it on her thumb.
having sirius not liking lucius malfoy after this is just too funny to me.
i hc walburga disliking the malfoys. the only other family that is socially considered their equals. but she knows how they managed to establish themselves in wizarding society, particularly in regards to money and properties, doing business with dirty muggles.
it wasn’t arranged but there was an understanding that the two families would be brought closer in the form of an union between walburga and abraxas, but she’d rather died before letting that happens.
she does everything in her power to let abraxas know exactly how she feels about him.
in the end, when the blacks and the malfoys finally merged, she felt that narcissa got handed the short end of the stick.
i feel like the first time i went diving into ao3 i couldn’t find, for the love of me, any blackinnon story that resonated with me.
and swear i don’t know what happened but suddenly i have like a ton of tabs open on my browser of stories about those two i want to delve into (i guess i wasn’t looking that hard after all).
the thing is i’m scared to start reading because i don’t want to feel like i might copy someone but worse than that, im scare to find something so good inside that might make me go: yep, never gonna be able to write that good. might just give up now.
does anyone relate to that feeling? 😂
it’s genuinely the reason i don’t ever write any wolfstar or dramione.
day 6 - music festival (muggle au) - blackinnon - @blackinnonfest
Sirius presented her with a pair of rubber boots.
“What are those?” She asked.
“The perfect footwear for rainy days and skipping puddles.”
“It isn’t raining.”
“But it will be where we are going. Come now, put them on.”
“You’re joking, right? They’re hideous” she protested.
“Shouldn’t you be more concerned with where we are going?”
“If I worried for every little thing you planned for, we would never go anywhere. But must I get there with such ugly little things?”
There was nothing little about the boots. They were tall and yellow and screaming loudly at her to not try them on.
“Fine. You can have mine.” Sirius sighed.
Sirius produced a pair of black ones and Marlene knew all along he bought them in her size right from the beginning.
Later on at night, after driving all the way to the music festival and spending all day dancing and screaming at the top of their lungs for their favorite bands and songs, Marlene and Sirius found their way to their camp site.
They stumbled ungracefully into their tent, laughing loudly, half drunk and half deaf from all the music still banging in their ears.
Marlene lifted her legs up in the air, her black boots covered in mud now.
“Best fucking gift ever”
“What about the festival tickets?”
“Oh yeah, that too” Marlene laughed, slapping Sirius slightly in his chest and propping herself up to kiss him on the lips.
now we're talking! i mean, if you want sporty she kinda gives surfer girls vibes, so she will be serving australian realness and going barefoot EVERYWHERE not just the beach (and at some point ends up wearing sirius' shoes)
a blackinnon story told in reverse: from the heart achingly lost of her life to the very beginning when they started to fell in love.
bonus points if near her death they closer to breaking up o they were already apart.
hmmm okay these were all not rly cursed i cant have you think youre safe from cursed prompts now!
so may i please ask for padfoot/moony/fluffy
hahaha thank you for all your prompts cat! and now it’s time for the first post of your cursed ones… this was not easy so even though it’s sketchy it took a while, considered adding fang to the polycule (as suggested by @lynxindisguise ) but there were already too many heads in the mix 😂
Everyone talks about Harry and Lily's eyes in the movie and how Ginny and Ron weren't given justice. But what about Harry and James' CHARACTER and important part of their looks.
They both have the same face, hair, glasses, height and very similar personalities. They were so similar that Harry pointed out their differences which were only their nose and eyes.
Their unusually messy jet-black hair is so important because that's what makes them look so similar and stand out because their hair is so messy. Their height wasn't very important except it told us an estimate of James' height (Harry's height).
The movies completely missed out that Harry is very composed in awkward and most situations. Whenever Harry and Cho interacted in the movies, Harry was this awkward, nervous guy while Cho was the stand up, confident girl while in the books, Harry was all composed (Even when sprayed by Neville's plant in OotP) and natural and Cho was the nervous one. In the movies, Harry was well-known, but girls didn't ask him out everywhere and he was struggling to get a girl. In the books, nearly every girl was asking him out and he denied them, one because a girl was taller than him. Harry was NOT awkward, the most he'll do is blush slightly, look away and go silent. In HBP, he doesn't randomly stand up when Ginny walks into the slug-club, I actually wanted to die watching him interact with girls in the movies.
In general, Harry is a popular jock and hexed people (Goyle, Crabbe and Filch) in the corridors for no reason, but they were stupid (They deserved it though). He had much of James' personality, like with how he can be arrogant, but a savior and empathetic.
With James, in the movies, we were only shown his flaws and weren't shown that he was insanely loyal, stood up for muggle born rights (Despite being a wealthy pure blood), sacrificed his life, saved Snape's life, was a good person, smart, broke the law for his werewolf friend, despised the dark arts, let his runaway friend live with him, supported his werewolf friend financially, was friends with outcasts, head boy, good father and person.
The movies showed that he was a bully, didn't care for people. And when we saw his body in the movies, they didn't show he voluntarily stood up to Voldemort. The movies made it seem like he didn't try to go against him, but was just killed like Voldemort does to all his targets, while they made it look like it was just Lily who sacrificed her life.
In the books, it showed that Harry and James had the same, matching Patronus's. IT was so important because it made Harry think his dad somehow came back to life. Like how Harry went-
"Dad. . ."
-in PoA when he saw the stag patronus. Having James and Harry look so similar, act similar and die similar (Having both James and Harry stand up against Voldemort voluntarily and voluntarily go to him) was entirely erased in the movie adaption. It was James' sacrifice that made Harry sacrifice his life in the forbidden forest and fight Voldemort in the graveyard when Voldemort mentioned that James stood tall against him.
Everything would've been different if Voldemort gave James the choice to live and back off just like Voldemort gave Lily the choice.
The day marauders fans stop mischaracterising Regulus, Barty, and Evan by treating them like they’re innocent little babies who “had no choice” is the day i’ll rest peacefully.
OMG WAIT (see here the concept)
what if the story begins with gilderoy surprising peter with a wedding for his anniversary (better late than never) and all their friends join them in the honeymoon (codependency at its best) and all hell break lose?
sirius trying to down play the fact that he’s going mad having marlene constantly watching out for him because he knows is out of love.
the potters acting as their parents.
remus bringing tonks for the first time on a holiday with them.
marauders band au | blackinnon
i haven’t written a single “official” word in any document (just the scraps of interviews here)
BUT
i have figured out how to start the story and, most importantly, what happened with sirius and where is he.
also who the interviewer is.
the whole article is set to be published in the quibbler cause what better place to report on a old rock band that only a few people still remember to this day.
i’ll start working on it after i finish translating.
