“Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here – ooh, they used to make me laugh. Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!”
(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
also a moment of silence for female characters who get a lot of shit but would be adored if they were male
Lily telling James “you’re not funny” right after laughing so hard she snorted at one of his jokes.
Teeny tiny🤲
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?
the way regulus knew about the dangers of this very clearly a suicidal mission through Kreacher and yet not only did he not back out, he didn't even have any back up plans?? Or some safety measures?? like?? I have no idea what his exact reasons were for betraying Voldemort, to avenge Kreacher or just because he hates the very existence of a hocrux or to protect his family bla bla bla, but either way, he was so offended, and still, no one was forcing him to do this, he went ahead and used the same elf Voldemort tried to kill, in a way, to steal the hocrux all with the intention to get it destroyed and ofc, got himself killed. He didn't need to do any of this but did it anyways?? like why bro.
he had one goal, steal and destroy the hocrux using kreacher. he did all this out of pure spite, 100% a Walburga trait btw, he's literally her son. gosh what an interesting man you are.
sirius is the type of guy who would torment you for doing something he considers reprehensible and then make fun of you for never having done it.
you can never win with him, he’s sirius fucking black.
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.
sirius and james being so codependent on each other that, every time i portray marlene being angry at sirius, she has to throw a little "fuck you too, potter" one way or another.
trust the process but it’s you starting a new wip not knowing where it may take you or how it’s gonna end yet, somehow, every idea that comes to you (often in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep) falls right into place.
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.
