working hard to have both versions of "marauders: the untold story" ready so i can drop the next chapter tomorrow!
sometimes i judge my friends for sharing so much shit on their ig stories while they working, but then again here i am writing/reading stuff about fictional characters who, if they existed, would still be dead
to each his own 🤷🏼♀️
give me twenty something sirius black buying a huge chunk of land with an old abandoned cow barn in it and neighbor and slightly older marlene mckinnon teaching him all about restorative farming and them transforming the old barn into a community center where they sell the food they grow in sirius’ farm and use it as place to hold gatherings where the neighbors like to go socialize and plan music events with local artists and environmental activists.
the reason i hc blackinnon, but specifically marlene, dealing with a miscarriage fully aware of how sensitive of a matter it is:
we often hear from women who actively want to become mothers dealing with this situation and it’s a heartbreaking one. no matter who you are, it’s shakes you from every fundamental pillar in your life. in a way, it feels like biology failed you o you fail at it. and in hurst like hell and you get discourage and you go through the motions and you mourn whatever it is you have to mourn (that would depend on your beliefs).
but i don’t think we talk enough about the women who find themselves in that situation and go through the same emotions but, at the end of it, they find relief that it hadn’t happen. women who only in that moment come to the realization that they don’t want to become mothers.
conflicting emotions can and often times coincides within the spam of a singular situation. and frequently women who go through that don’t speak up out of respect for the others. and that can bring shame. shame that you dare to be grateful for such an unfortunate situation because we are expected to only share and live in the sadness of it.
i could talk about how the situation reflects on blackinnon, but my whole views on in it, much like any other person who ships any pair or likes any character, it’s than it can be a good outlet to shine a light on something that often times goes unnoticed.
i’m sorry if this post come across as insensitive to anyone, but it’s hard for me to be as eloquent as i would like to be in anything other than my native language, which isn’t english.
Sirius: Sounds to me like you have the hots for Emma.
Marlene: Nope
Sirius: …
Marlene: Oh crap
Sirius: There it is
Marlene: Mind sharing?
Sirius: …
Marlene: There, you have the hots too
Marlene: I think Emma has the hots for you Sirius: Nope Marlene: Nope? Yep. Sirius: Nope. Marlene: Yep! Sirius: Nope! Marlene: YEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i need all of you to see my vision here.
florence pugh playing yelena romanoff with her russian accent gives so much vibes of dark!marlene.
this is gonna be sacrilege but…
i think if marlene had survived and the war had ended, she and sirius would have been that fiery couple, the kind no one would ever denied were deeply in love with each other but, at some point, would have gotten separated.
after a while, they both would have moved on, found new partners (never got kids though), saw each other occasionally, mainly for harry’s birthdays.
they would have become that couple, even though they were no longer together, that every one talked about when they weren’t present.
no one ever understood why they broke up.
their friends are still waiting for them to get back together.
both sirius and regulus are the type of people that, when they agree to something, they say nothing.
they picked it up from their uncle alphard, who has been living in france for far too long and hardly ever see him. it’s what made their uncle so mysterious to them when they were little.
but where as this quirk makes regulus seems eerie and somewhat intimidating when he grows up, much like his uncle, sirius can barely keep a straight face when silently agreeing to do something because, more often than not, it’s something disruptive. and is james who proposes it in the first place.
Quick sketch of Alphard Black
but what if marls goes out with a slytherin at some point because guess what, they’re not all blood supremacist??? but he ends up being an ass in other regards, like maybe he tries to mess around with gryffindor team’s brooms or something. and he also thinks sirius and james are complete assholes but marlene it’s a bit like that’s neither here nor there, except he picks up the fact that something might have happened between marls and sirius in the past, specially because he caught her defending him after he did something borderline illegal (there’s a bunch stuff other than the prank) but immediately breaks things off with him when he comes cleans about the brooms.
and he leaves her by saying: i hope black knows how lucky he is.
meanwhile marlene reacting is something like: bruh what just happened???
