There's One Thing Hotter Than Sirius Black And It's Sirius Black Getting Tortured With Intensity The

this it’s freakin insane, i swear the other day i was thinking of sirius as an unspeakable and here you are with unspeakables blackinnon like wtf??! and yes they are the most dependable out of all their friends (guess being childless comes in handy sometimes lol)

looooove remus as writer! and ofc gilderoy gifted her with a sign copy 😂

and no, they couldn’t fckn leave her! she sound so adorable 🥰

also i don’t know why when i read warless my stupid brain went: oh apocalyptic! and i now thanks to that i can’t stop thinking of blackinnon caring for every small kid they find along the way to the point it looks like they running an orphanage and all of their friends being like: i thought you didn’t want kids and them being so offended by it, as if they didn’t love all their friends kids as their own or were heartless enough to leave poor innocent children fending for themselves (i mean ofc all their friend would be on board with caring for the kids, it was just a comment on passing but marlene took it to heart).

for the love of me, i cannot imagine marlene and sirius with kids. it fits neither of them imo. they're good with kids, it's not like they don't like them. i just think they wouldn't want one. but in some of my aus, either modern au, warless au, or both live in the canon world, i can see them adopting this specif girl (i will insert pic) and i have so many variants and stories on how they meet her. and she's so fun, sassy, full of love, and their parenting method (?) is treating her like an adult. not with the responsibility, more like treating her as an equal? she calls marlene "lena" or "mum" and she is calls sirius "prongs" or "dad"

Hopping on the Propaganda I Will Not Fall For trend:

Dog person Sirius

Intimidating Regulus

Nonchalant Remus

Pandora Rosier

Seer Pandora

Abusive Lucius

Immodest Bellatrix

Idiot James and Sirius

Gold digger Lily

Regulus’ Voldemort shrine = research

Pinterest tattoos on Sirius Black

Abusive Lyall Lupin

No, your Sirius turns into a flustered, stuttering mess. Mine shuts down and self isolates or gets mean. Mines better-

why does no one talk abt sirius and bellatrix being in azkaban at the same time. like i know damn well those two had some INSANE conversations

james and sirius are so funny because the second the person they’re in a relationship with claims they're, “too close to each other” they break up with them because frankly james and sirius aren’t close enough if you ask them!

you know what i LIKE that james and sirius were arseholes who cursed the shit out of blood supremacists at their school. punch a nazi

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.

New chapter | Marauders: The Untold Story

Remus: I understand when people called James arrogant. It wasn’t really his fault being conceited. Only child, loving parents, a comfortable economic situation, who wouldn’t come out into the world thinking they deserve everything good in life? But as egotistical as he could be, he was also caring and kind-hearted.  Yes, I’m aware of how he and Sirius treated other people, especially when they were younger, but it’s not like they were mistreating someone vulnerable, they were messing with a bunch of other self-important, full of themselves, snooty kids. And they did change their ways in the end. Well, somewhat. You couldn’t be expected to make it into the music industry, especially during the seventies, and not be a little ruthless.  So yeah, James approached my concerns tactfully. He didn't want me to feel different, though we were, and by the end I didn’t even realize I was accepting his help. When we finally ended playing at their dance, I was wearing one of James’ old suits.  James: From that moment on, we became insufferable. In mine and Sirius' case, even more so than usual. But seeing Remus and Peter starting to believe in the band too, was amazing. We couldn’t shut up about it. Every weekend from then on we fought over who’s idea to give a try first, we were all so inspired.  At some point Hope lent us her record player. We took turns picking songs from Sirius’ collection and then tried them out on our instruments. Remus: We started changing the lyrics to the covers we played, then slowly one of us would change a chord or a beat, and then suddenly we were writing our first songs, not just obscene tunes anymore (stops, then laughs). A few of our songs turned out to be quite obscene, but you know what I meant, we didn’t feel like kids doing it anymore.
