No New Work :) Catch Old Drawings

okay but let’s consider for a moment it went BAD. seth cohen/summer robberts first time kinda bad. so they keep hooking up until they get to know each other so well, they basically are able to read each others minds. they went from staring at the ceiling in horror afraid to let the other one know they thought it sucked to them going at it non-stop.

Sirius and Marlene's first time having sex would make them stay in bed for a full 30 minutes, out of breath, glaring at the ceiling, bc neither of them could process that it actually happened.

Quick sketch of Alphard Black

Remus and Harry from chapter 14 of PoA

marlene mckinnon is the type of girl when anyone compliments her, she just agrees with them.

sirius finds that in itself insanely sexy.

would love to read those stories!!!

i agree with kids not fitting with them, if they are not together i can see them being wonderful step-parents, although the option of a miscarriage as to reinforce (more on the reader than in them)/confronts them with the notion that it’s enough with the two of them, like yes, there are families that actually aspire to be that small!! they have other dreams!! plus marlene has her own family and sirius has the potters, they are happy and content as they are and little kids would love to hear from them! imagine blackinnon telling little harry what adventures they get up to, little harry would probably want to grow up to be like them 😂

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"

might turn this into an unreleased sirius black’s song for my marauders band au.

i just love this song, this band and actually this whole era of argentinian rock tbh.

“i’m not used to my first day without you,

because i still say we when i think of you.

when the summer ended, everything seemed fine,

now i think of all the things we said unknowingly.

because soon you would leave with no explanation,

maybe it seems easy to you for me to bear this pain (for me to bear your pain).

you forgot some things in your swift departure,

and now they’re like treasures i keep for myself.

[…]

because this is my first day without seeing you

and the room feels gigantic,

i feel so small if you’re not here,

i can’t understand it.”

honestly my translation it’s kinda crap and i really don’t know if im too lazy to do it justice lol or if i love too much the spanish wording for this fuckin anthem of heartbreak.

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.

marauders band au / blackinnon

mary mcdonald (supermodel): look, i’m not saying they didn’t share a dream of becoming the next big thing. i’m just saying they were strategic about it. sirius and marlene i mean. that concert we went to were we ended up on stage with them? all planned. they knew how to replicate authenticity, they had so much energy no one ever doubted them.

lily evans (photographer, james potter’s girlfriend): everywhere you looked, girls wanted to be her [marlene]. she had been in a few music videos at the time with other bands, before the boys skyrocketed. but after that concert, girls wanted to be her and boys wanted to… you know (makes obscene gesture with her hands).

mary: her disappearance act afterwards was pure genius. marauders sold out everywhere.

mary mcdonald (supermodel): if we’re talking about superficial shit then no. she didn’t need any of it. not the diet pills not the drugs. but they were all the same. god, if you’d seen how she and sirius looked together you wouldn’t have been able to take your eyes off of them. they were mesmerizing. together they could’ve ruled the whole world. but she didn’t want any of that. they keep they relationship private. they got help from all us. we were in it together. i wasn’t friends with any of them, not really, but we all tried our best to protect them. you can believe whatever you want, but if there ever were two people deserving of protection from this world, it was them.

okay, hear me out…

a story written in interview format where famous rock band ‘marauders’ explain once and for all why they broke up back in 1981 following the dead of, according to the media at the time, a random groupie.

james, remus and peter have all lost contact with lead singer sirius black.

where is he now?

is he still alive?

and who was the groupie and why did it matter so much as to mark the end of such a promising band?

marlene mckinnon’s name will haunt the narrative much as she did when she was alive.

(i blame daisy jones and the six for this and damiano david cover of ‘ella baila sola’ cause don’t tell that isn’t sirius singing about marlene)

I have so many favorite hc for blackinnon, but my all-time favorite is Sirius having a bad feeling the night Marlene dies and telling her not to go home, to spend the night in his house, to stay together-- but Marlene thinks he is being paranoid and goes to visit her home, and ends up dying there with her family. I just love the idea that Sirius lives with the regret that only if he insisted more, maybe that wouldn't have happened.
