Quick sketch of Alphard Black
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.
i didn’t know i needed mgk 90s boy band vibes wtf.
Can I have some blackinnon headcanons😔
sure you can! i love thinking of those two 💓
these are a few of the top of my head:
- they have similar stories for their first kiss. marls went to a party with some of mary’s muggle friends and got to play spin the bottle. james and sirius went exploring the underground one summer and ended up in a very family oriented neighborhood and crashed a birthday party. sirius kissed the birthday girl, ofc. he then got banned from visiting the potters.
- somewhere in fourth year marls kiss sirius, caught him off guard. she just wanted to know what all the fuss was about. things didn’t change much after that.
- fifth year last day of school both marls and sirius have gone through a lot (the prank, marls got into a horrible fight lily, the whole war situation getting worse) so they hook up as means to distract themselves. surely nothing would change right? WRONG.
- cut to the hogwarts express getting back to hogwarts starting sixth year and they both get all so awkward when they bump into each other. it’s embarrassing.
- marlene wrote a few times to sirius over the summer before second and third year. nothing major, nothing relevant. except for the fact those were the only letters walburga allowed for sirius to receive and respond to (aside from peter’s). sirius thinks he secretly did, but walburga knew.
- sirius showed marls around muggle london the summer before seventh year when he went to live on his own. they were together when he bought his infamous leather jacket (secondhand as the leather is always best).
- at some point during the war when things gets worse and it might seem like they will actually lose, sirius implied a proposal to marls. he never actually said the words. they were drunk (i wrote about it i think). anyway, sirius himself diss missed it as “never mind, im drunk, i’m might die soon anyway”.
- marls couldn’t stop thinking about it and hated sirius for putting the idea in her head. she had never thought about marriage, not even after lily and james married, but it’s sirius, after all. she ends up dying instead.
- this one is sad (well, even more so). i think at some point marls had a miscarriage. again, never thought about kids and i personally don’t see blackinnon as parents ever (i project way too hard onto them im afraid), but she never tells sirius about it until they found out lily’s pregnant. marls thinks it’s an horrible idea to have a kid during a war. sirius thinks it’s fine, they’re in love, it’s meant to happen. marls crumbles right there and then after picking a fight over it with sirius.
- padfoot visited marls grave way more often that he’ll care to admit.
didn’t mean to get so depressing but it’s the angst of it all that does it for me 💔
this is all @astracoreiisblog’s fault with the idea of blackinnon adopting a little kid (see here)
but can’t stop thinking of sirius teaching harry all kind of spells and sharing his more crazy pranks despite lily/remus/regulus (who ever is the most sensible in this scenario) telling him it’s a bad idea, harry is too young, but sirius is like: what’s the matter? i knew all of it when i was his age and turned out fine (again, debatable from regulus perspective).
then suddenly harry is teaching his kid all of that stuff and it bites him in the ass. doesn’t matter if harry is younger or older, works either way.
sirius: you know, you could help me sort this stuff out?
marls: oh why would i when it’s so much fun watching you struggle
sirius: you’re a cruel woman
marls: and you are smart man, you’ll figure it out. just keep your wand out of her reach.
Padfoot
Do you think Remus had a second of happiness and relief when he saw Peter alive on the map just before the pieces started falling into place? That he thought "oh thank god, he's alive, my friend is alive" but then he understood that if Peter was alive, something awful had to have happened? That a great and terrible mistake must have been made? And do you think that while his heart was breaking with understanding and hatred, another part of him kept him going, thinking that after all, Sirius had always been the Sirius he knew?
not gonna lie, i’ve been spending quite a lot of time this morning trying to emulate lady whistledown’s voice in my head to see if i manage to come up with something
but also i think it would be fun for a bridgerton au where marauders are adults and they’re guiding the new generations through the season. maybe it’s me just wanting for jily to meet ginny though (blackinnon could be turn into something more like queen charlotte, which i’m still not over it)
also, sirius is now known in my head as: most notorious rebel, so thanks anon!
