Omg I Haven’t Picked Up On The Fact She Was The Youngest And Sirius The Oldest!! So True.
omg i haven’t picked up on the fact she was the youngest and sirius the oldest!! so true.
too me the whole take on her blood status or, more specifically, her position in the political issues, varies depending on when do the mckinnons show their support to muggleborns and halfblood.
i hc marlene to be the only one in her family to be part of the order, to the point of even keeping it a secret. that doesn’t mean her family doesn’t show the alliance to the “good side”, after all they raised her. but aside from the fact that someone might caught wind of marlene’s involvement in the order and that’s why they went after the whole family, i also like to play with the idea that some other member might be keeping a potentially dangerous secret.
i just ask myself a lot what it would take for some to wipe out an entire family. cause it doesn’t seem to be the case were they kill them one by one as a torturing device or something like that.
and the aspect of whether sirius was canonically disowned your right, we don’t know it for sure. my take is that since he left before regulus died, orion did change the will favoring regulus first in the line of succession and sirius second. so alphard gives the money as way of having his back. then obviously reg dies and everything comes back to sirius. cause again i feel like alphard knew something in order to take that decision after sirius leaving and right before his passing, cause he’s the one carrying the family business on sirius mother’s side of the family.
obviously all of this speculation, but since sirius managed to alter the will to favour harry despite him not being a black, there’s room for other members altering things through history without defaulting immediately and without say into the first male heir.
also walburga hating blondes it’s just too funny. people portray her as being so serious that it’s fun to give her totally biased or ridiculous opinions from time to time.
what do you think would be marlene's standing with the black family? like what she think of walburga, orion, and regulus and what they think of her?
god what a hard question!
i think she struggles with them.
i tend to think of marlene as a pureblood witch to put her in contrast with lily (muggle born) and mary (half-blood), so while her family is obviously not on the same level as the blacks, she knows a lot of them much like the rest of society.
during school and even before they get closer, she starts picking up on the subtle ways sirius tense up or slightly flinch when someone brings up his family. whenever she can she change the subject. she also imagines he struggles at times with the way he was brought up and the way gryffindors behave. she has a brother in ravenclaw and that puts sirius at ease in a way when it comes to him being the outcast of his own family, not all is lost and it might no be that big a deal for his parents.
also marlene was in school at the same time his older cousins were and even at a distance she could tell they were a force to be reckoned with. marlene has only brothers so, aside from her mother, it’s such a sight to know powerful young witches. and this translates to walburga as well. sirius turns out to be so annoyingly good at everything and without even trying that she wonders where all that natural talent comes from. they obviously care enough in some regards to making him comfortable and well educated so his talent won’t go to waste. but believe they’re misguided though, cause their trying too hard to turn him into something he’s not and things might’ve turned up differently if they acknowledged that from the beginning. but it’s a scary thought to think of sirius as, possibly, a DE or a supporter of voldemort in some capacity.
marls doesn’t share the black family beliefs and neither does sirius, but that doesn’t change the fact that, even if you stripped them down from it, they are still a powerful family. she also hates the way more traditional families put the wizards above the witches which is hard to reconcile when she thinks of walburga, a big blood supremacist, having the same power as a man. it hard to reconcile someone with opposite beliefs to your own being in some capacity able to effect change, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to just cause they happen to be women, right?
i don’t think she ever gets introduced to them, but if she did, she would probably confront walburga. she’d tell her she’s just jealous because his son might turn up to be whoever he wants to be, an option she either didn’t have or didn’t felt she had. she’s also scared, because he’s a man, he’s the heir, and he’s smart and powerful enough to change the trajectory of his entire family if he wishes, something she couldn’t have done even if she had wanted to.
she would think orion to be spineless for trying to dim his own son light, a son who only ever tried to make him proud despite everything. if he doesn’t want to see how special he is, it’s his lose. and no, buying him expensive stuff doesn’t compensate for any psychological abuse he might’ve done to sirius.
as to where walburga and orion stand on her is, well… they think sirius picking her might be a good sign. orion is not that impressed because he knows sirius to be much like walburga and while she change her ways and eventually fall in line with the family, he also knows sirius might turn up and do the complete opposite. so no girl it’s gonna get in the way of that.
but walburga is impressed in a small way. regulus is the one feeding her information on her (which i find funny), and marls comes across, to her, as an unapologetic witch. she is who she is and wont make concessions to make other people like her more. much like her. but she thinks she’s misguided. she could be exactly the right girl to straighten up his son, even if she isn’t , say, a greengrass, but more likely than not, she’ll be his ruin (in her eyes). also she’s blonde and i hc walburga loathing the malfoys and by association anything that reminds her of them even in the slightest way. it would be a curse for the next black heir to be blonde.
about regulus marls thinks he’s young and naive. she sees the way sirius gaze follows him around in school, specially when he starts hanging around mulciber and that sort of crowd. regulus naively thinks maybe marls would be the one the bring his brother back to him and his family, which is why he talks walburga about it.
she’s not surprised they finally disowned him. she is, however, taken aback by alphard leaving him his money. again there’s that struggle that somewhere in the family there’s actually care and concern about sirius, but they’re are too caught up in their own prejudices and stupid beliefs to be able to show up properly for their son/nephew and in someway that might be reciprocated by sirius, even if he don’t want to. you could also say that his prejudices to blood supremacist steams from his relationship with his family and it’s the reason he can’t look pass it when he thinks of them, even if he related to them as family and smart and talented humans in the first place.
during war times she’s concern how the family dynamics would translate in battle. again, she knows bellatrix to be powerfull and she knows sirius to be reckless, he becomes even more so after regulus death, which he keeps downplaying and telling her it didn’t affected him (showing that he cared, at the very least, for his brother, if not the rest of them).
all in all, she’s constantly torn between her desire for sirius to have a loving and supportive family and the implications of it and the way he turn up to be such a loyal and talented defender of what’s right despite them pushing him otherwise.
in the end, marlene knows the only way for sirius to thrive it’s to cut them out completely and is grateful for the existence of james potter, and eventually lily and harry too. while she loves her family and could never properly grasp how sirius felt towards his, she’s so glad he gets to experiment some resemble of family dynamics with his best friends.

Sirius is an introvert forced to be an extrovert- they use their loudness as a cover so that they are always cheery and nobody will think something’s wrong
Regulus is an extrovert forced to be an introvert- growing up he watched Sirius get in trouble for being loud and acting out so he learned to stay quiet
It’s not a marauders holiday without a little bit of chaos…
I am traveling and 9 hours in a train is a lot of time to do silly sketches ( by the way super hard cause it moves like a lot ) I also tried to do regulus but got dizzy mid way.
I also read a fic of William turner X Jack sparrow that was too hot for reading it in public, took a nap, watched two house episodes and crocheted a few rows from my tapestry.
Super cool that I saw 🐄 and 🐑 also super epic running horses.
don’t get me wrong, i’m 100% sure orion defended his wife with claws and teeth, specially when it was sirius the one fighting her.
i imagine sirius rebellious strike reminded walburga too much of herself so she was definitely worried how he would turn up. and because of that they bickered often. and while sirius also picked up fights with his dad, orion didn’t react as badly unless he felt sirius had gone too far with walburga.
he might not thought it as: that’s my wife you’re disrespecting, boy, but more importantly that’s YOUR MOTHER.
orion understood the sacrifices walburga made for the sake of her family and while he accepted with dignity the fact that she might never love him, he did protect her (not that she really needed it).
that’s the reason walburga don’t mind that much, cause he’s present in all the ways she needs him to be.
and that’s why when and if ever he is unfaithful, he goes out of his way to pick a witch outside their circles. but with druella is personal, it’s has to do more with himself than with her wife.
just in general i think that however wrong and misguided their actions might be, pure blood families, especially old ones like the blacks and malfoys, valued their families above anything else.
there’s a reason they got to be MOST ANCIENT but also, there’s a reason the family finally crumbled.
(we all know if sirius had survived he either wouldn’t have had kids or would’ve done MUCH MUCH MUCH differently).
i think walburga wouldn’t care for orion being unfaithful as long as 1) he was discreet about it and 2) he didn’t get involve with anyone near her circle. after all, their marriage isn’t rooted in love.
problem is, orion and cygnuss have been feuding ever since they were kids (orion is closer to him in age than walburga) and finally he decided to start an affair with druella, who happens to be not only is his cousin’s wife but also the one woman walburga despises the most (she never wanted for her to marry his brother).
meanwhile alphard knows all this is happening and stays as far away as possible from all the drama, cause even if he tells his sister, she would find a way to blame him somehow, shot the messenger and all that.
James is not a deadbeat dad: I hate when people say that
"Dumbledore had to take his invisibility cloak because he was going out so much," No. Dumbledore borrowed James' cloak so he could research it, he asked to borrow it, and James let him.
"He leaves to go on motorbike rides with Sirius, leaving Lily and harry alone" Also, no. That was a prequel for a reason. It took place three years before Harry's birth and when James was still in Hogwarts, maybe not even dating Lily yet. And even if he was dating Lily, he can still go out because he wasn't in hiding yet.
"He forgot his wand on the couch" Key word. Forgot. He wasn't in a life or death situation, it was just pure death. He voluntarily risked his life to give Lily time to go up those stairs, knowing he'd die. He told Lily to take Harry without him. If you're going to say James is an idiot for forgetting his wand, don't forget, Lily had no wand upon her either. James was scared and clearly had no time to get his wand because one distraction could've made Voldemort pass him.
omg waiiiit marlene mckinnon laughing her head off ‘cause no way it’s true what girls say about sirius black being a smooth talker when the poor guy only manages to give her half ass compliments that sound too brash to be intented as flirting.

Sirius x Marlene(Blackinnon)sexually suggestive themes throughout
They’re totally best friends, conjoined at the hip, never seeing each other as anything more, until Sirius comes out. She spends a lot of time with the girls, and now that they’re out of school, she feels a lot freer to be herself and explore femininity.
She spends a fuck tonne of time with Mary, because Mary is the makeup and fashion lover of the group, and really helps Sirius find something that fits.
They’re going to a club one night, their whole group, to a queer club, and Sirius wants to go all out. Marlene puts on her suit jacket, just a bra underneath, smokey eye, chunky boots, feeling very hot and very gay.
Mary and Lily help get Sirius all dolled up, doing her makeup and making her try on all their dresses, and Marlene simply gets to watch and judge.
She ends up in a sparkly number, a pretty dark periwinkle that's pretty short, spaghetti straps that lace up at the back, so her entire back tattoo is exposed as well, just how she wanted since it was new. The girls put her in a very dark lip, a burgundy sort of colour, with silver shadow fading into a shimmery blue, then smoked out with black. Her hair is down with luscious waves and a couple of cute pins in it so it looks like pearls are in her hair. To top it all off, she’s putting on a pair of platform boots, which make her 6”5, and intimidating as fuck.
Marlene thinks she looks hot, because she does look hot, but it’s not in the same way she thinks Mary or Lily look hot. No she’s like, attracted to Sirius, which is odd.
They go to the club and are having an amazing time, dancing, drinking, whatever the fuck. Marlene's glad she picked her tall boots because dancing with Sirius would give her even more of a neck ache if she were any shorter.
And Sirius is… she knows how to move her hips, that's for sure. Tattooed arms moving up above her head as she dances, sometimes pressing into Marlene, and it’s hot in here. It’s so fucking hot in here.
And it doesn’t help that Sirius set a goal for all the single people to try and get a hookup - or at least a kiss - tonight, because she wanted to get with someone as a woman for the first time, but is nervous about doing it alone. And so here Marlene is, thinking about that. Thinking about Sirius getting all shy and flirting with someone, and letting them take her home for the night, and now she’s getting even hotter under the collar.
She goes to get them drinks, then comes back to find Sirius dancing with James. They’re having a laugh, holding each other close and grinding on each other a bit. And Marlene's jealous. She’s asking herself why the fuck Sirius picked that best friend to proper grind on rather than Marlene, even though it obviously means nothing, but like, one horny dance with Sirius might quench her thirst enough to not do something weird.
Sirius stops dancing with James the moment she spots Marlene and rushes to her to grab a drink, she drags Marlene back over and her and James are laughing about the good dance they just had. James makes a joke about getting at least a little bit of action since all the blokes seem to be taken tonight, and has yet to find someone else interested in men.
Sirius gets’ flirted with a few times, but the people either aren't her type, or she gets weird and flustered and runs away, complaining to Marlene about it. In the end, they end up home without having had a hookup, and Marlene is a little grateful for it.
They’re lying in bed together, having plopped down on the soft mattress the moment they got into James and Sirius’ apartment (James is getting busy with some pretty person in the next room), and they’re chatting about their night. Sirius is feeling euphoric, which makes Marlene really happy.
“I just… I wanted to hook up with someone tonight, you know?” She sighed, chewing on a silver painted nail, “I just… I know it’s probably stupid, but I think it’s just the last step I’d like to take with all this… like, other than the medical stuff. I’d just like to have sex with someone- or not even sex, just something with someone and feel like a girl doing it. You know, everyone I’ve been with have fucked me as a guy and it’s always been so shit and awful, and I’d like to feel good. You know? It will make me feel good. There was one guy, tonight, who was really hot but… he kinda gave me the impression that I might get misgendered, so-”
“Ew.” Marlene grimaced.
“Yeah.” Sirius shrugged, looking over at Marlene, “James said he’d fuck me, you know, if I didn’t find someone. I thought he was joking at first, but he wasn’t. He said he’d make sure I had a good time, and would call me all pretty things, which is nice.” She laughed, “When he started getting it on with that person he almost rejected them since I didn’t find someone, but I didn’t want him to not get a fuck he actually wanted for my sake.”
“You would have fucked him? Your best friend?” Marlene gasped.
“Yeah?” She giggled, looking up at the roof, “I mean, no denying he’s fucking fit, Marlene. Look at him. And I’ve seen him naked- hung.”
Marlene laughed and looked back up at the ceiling too, “I mean, sure, I guess. I don’t know, I’m a fucking lesbian.”
“Yeah.” Sirius said, “I know he wouldn’t make it awkward… and I actually feel comfortable and trust him, you know? I’d rather fuck someone I know would treat me correctly and have it be a bit awkward for a week after, than end up with some weirdo who calls me handsome or something, you know?”
“I suppose… yeah, I get it.”
“I could ask Remus.” Sirius shrugged, “He’s a whore- don’t know if he likes girls or not, actually, but, if he did, he’d… nah, wait, I think he doesn’t like girls… Petes taken- Do you think Mary or Lily would fuck me?”
Marlene's eyes widened and she looked over at her slowly, “Are you serious?”
“Yes, I am, darling.” She grinned, devilish, “And, I don’t know… Maybe. They’re pretty- god, girls are all so pretty. Do they have something going on? They were kind of…”
“Yeah, I’m waiting to see how long it takes them to fuck. Reckon they’re doing it tonight. I’ll probably get a text before morning from both of them saying they’ve got something crazy to tell me.”
Sirius giggled, “So they’re off the table then. Fuck.”
“Why do you wanna do it so bad?” Marlene asked.
“I don’t know, it’s stupid, I know.” She sighed, “But… I just… I want to feel sexy, okay? Is that such a crime? I feel pretty, and hot, and gorgeous, and beautiful, but I don't feel sexy. I want to be sexy- I want someone to think I’m a sexy woman and fuck me about it-”
“I think you’re sexy.” Marlene said, and immediately went red afterwards.
“What?” Sirius asked, looking at Marlene with alarm.
“I didn’t mean to say that, but- fuck, sure, alright, I’ll bite.” She mumbled, rolling onto her side to face Sirius, “Uh, yeah, it’s weird. You put on that dress tonight and I thought, shit, she’s hot, and those boots? Bloody hell, you’re so tall, and you dance like fucking sin, and your makeup looks amazing, and I’m so fucking attracted to you right now I felt my fucking boxers getting damp in the club-”
Sirius had kissed her, rolling them over until she was straddling marlene.
“W- Sirius, is this a bad idea?” She asked.
“I don’t care.” Sirius breathed, “You think I’m sexy, I want-”
“Yeah, but… I don’t know if-”
“Please.” Sirius muttered, “Fuck, I don’t even care if it fucks things up, Marlene. I want you- you’re so… for a while now. I fucking fancy you, okay? I don’t care if you don’t feel the same, just fuck me and… and… tomorrow.”
“This is stupid.” Marlene muttered, pulling Sirius down to kiss again, “We should talk about it-”
“Tomorrow.” Sirius said, muffled by her lips, “Please, I want you so bad, Marlene, I’m going insane.”
“Yeah- fuck, yeah, alright.” She whispered, tucking hair behind Sirius’ ear, “You’re so fucking pretty- take this off?”
Sirius blushed bright fucking red, Marlene had never seen her so shy. She thinks, maybe, she’s actually already succeeded in making Sirius feel like a sexy woman. But fuck if she isn’t going to make her feel like the sexiest woman alive. And then tomorrow, she thinks she’ll take Sirius out, on a real proper date, because Marlene is chivalrous and doesn’t fuck without a date.
Plus, her best friend is cute as hell and kinda exactly her type.
Part 2 (pure smut so 18+ only please)
I love how this used to be like a massive ship in the fandom before ATYD i think and now they’re both just so fucking gay. The thought of these two being a massive ship is insane to me, such an odd thought, but I’m gonna think about it today. Specifically trans fem Sirius because I fucking love her with my whole heart, and also Marlene is THE lesbian, okay. She aint like men.
