Sirius suffers the manwhore alligations purely for his good looks and natural charm and then he witnesses two of his best friends getting their gfs accidentally pregnant while he himself is busy with his six hobbies, two rescue dogs and being the best godfather

- animals can sense that remus is a werewolf.
- james’ owl doesn’t like remus because it has a vendetta against werewolves.
- james takes remus owl shopping in order to buy an owl who specifically loves remus.
- “hey, can i please buy an owl?”
- “yeah, sure, what’s your criteria?”
- “MUST love remus,” james says, as if that’s a perfectly normal condition, on absolutely everyone’s check-list.
- he ends up buying the most conventionally ‘ugly’ owl in the shop.
- who he thinks is perfect because it treats remus with respect.

The End, by Alister Lockhart.
Bruh, if you don’t think that having historically significant events well documented from multiple perspectives is a good thing, then idk what the hell u doin.
Besides, like, that is literally a Giant Monster Rampaging Through The Town. What the fuck is the everyday person gonna do other than Tweet/Instagram/Post about it going “It’s the apocalypse you guys! Eyyyy lmao #apocalypse #deathrising #nofilter”?
xdominoe
And heck, even if your own death is inevitable getting information out could help save other people, even if it can’t save you. ‘Here are 20 livestreams of the giant tentacle monster including how it moves and attacks, how can we beat it?’ is way more useful than ‘an entire city got wiped off the map and things smell vaguely of calimari idk man’

I personally would be trying to give the Great One flowers and chocolate, but I don’t fault others for watching to get a picture of something so glorious and terrible. 😍
These are photos taken by Robert Landsburg of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. He realized he would never get to safety in time, so he kept taking pictures of the ash cloud for as long as possible. Then he put the camera securely in his bag and lay down on top of it to protect it before being engulfed in the pyroclastic flow. When they found his body, the recovered the pictures were invaluable to geologists because no one had ever been able to document an eruption that close up before.
There are many more such photographs of unimaginable perspectives taken moments before death, only because of the compelling human desire to assert that we were here, this happened, this was real. It’s the most human desire there is - to reach out across time and space to connect with our fellow beings until our last breath.
That’s haunting
I fucking tear up every time I see this post because that’s it. That’s the essence of what it means to be human.
I was here. I explored. I saw this. Remember me.
Fuck
Wow. Just. Wow

I wasn’t sure how to incorporate this into the options, but add in the tags if you think he also hated purebloods!
@riddlesmoon got it:
He doesn't believe in it as in a faith system the way many purebloods do - which is why he can find use in powerful wizards/witches regardless of their heritage - but he takes advantage of it in a political way. Remember that he thinks the halfblood child is more dangerous to him than the pureblood one re: the prophecy.
As for Muggles, I wouldn't say he hates them as much as that he doesn't care. (The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.) I think who he really hates are people who stand in his way. Be it Dumbledore or Lily Potter.

Anonymous asked:
Sorry if you've answered this before (im sure you have) but do you think Sirius was a serial dater at school? How do you hc Sirius at school?
I think my over exposure (early in my fandom life) to school shagger/ sex pest Sirius made me really dislike the trope that he dated loads. But also in my analysis of his character, he’s pretty selective about who he spends time with. He’s way more polite than he’s often depicted as, but he also doesn’t suffer fools lightly- so I can’t see him tolerating dating people for the sake of it. I can see him going out on a few dates (with people who he deems clever or interesting) but his friendships would’ve always taken priority over any kind of romantic life.
I do think he was probably widely fancied, but given that Bellatrix literally tries to “trim the family tree” when Tonks marries Remus, I imagine there was a real danger in who he dated. He was related to active Death Eaters, and I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that if he publicly got involved with the wrong person in their eyes, they’d consider an honour killing (for want of a better term) and that would probably make him even more reluctant to date seriously.
At school, I think overall, he was just one of those people who’s effortlessly good at everything, and I do wonder how much jealousy that stirred. Because when someone is that good-looking, people tend to react in one of two extreme ways, either they’re deferential to the point of fawning, or they absolutely hate you. You become an object of projection (Good looks can be as much of a curse as they are a gift).
If you actually asked people for personal stories about going to school with him, most wouldn’t have much beyond, distant politeness or “oh yeah, I saw him break someones nose once.” Because I do think he got into fights. He’s a very physical fighter even in the Ministry battle (literally shoulder slams Dolohov) so I can absolutely see him getting into fist fights especially around the time he leaves his family. And on top of all that, I really don’t see him enjoying being part of the school rumour mill
I know Remus calls him and James “the height of cool,” but these are the same people who had stupid nicknames for each other and spent years as amateur cartographers. Sirius was thought of as cool because he was hot ( I said what I said) because this is a guy who remixed A Christmas Carol and willingly called himself Snuffles, he absolutely had a ridiculous side, we just don’t get to see it because by the time we meet him, he’s been so prison-hardened.
Also he clearly cared about his grades. He expected at least an Outstanding (which is the top grade- was he expecting them to make a new one for him?) and the fact that McGonagall still calls him brilliant when she thinks he’s a mass murderer says a lot. She has no time for people who slack off, so he must have been a good student. I don’t think he was a class clown or a class disrupter-he would never perform for people.

sometimes i’ll be sitting in class or out getting groceries and it will hit me that these two were younger than me when they fought in a war and died.

Lyall Lupin chasing off a fully grown werewolf with a few spells like it’s nothing because that’s his son in its jaws
Cradling him close to his chest as he takes him to St Mungos, learning how to heal wounds and stop rampages and how to educate
Because it’s still his boy. And he’d do anything, try anything, be anything that Remus needed

“You look alike Taylor swift in this light. We’re loving it. You’ve got edge, she never did. The future’s bright. Dazzling”
But it’s everyone comparing Regulus to Sirius after he ran and talking about how much better of an heir he’ll be.

i really wonder how baby naming trends in wizarding Britain were affected by the two wars. Now we know purebloods like to use obscure names, often Greco-Roman, mythological, or literary--and I've seen it suggested that people who are anti-pureblood supremacy would use more common Muggle names as a political statement (like the Weasleys or the Potters--see contrast between fleamont and charlus vs James and Harry). But I wonder if specific names would be associated with either faction, especially knowing that people name their children after the craziest things...
And it's also interesting to think about pureblood naming culture as very uniqueness-focused (especially as it seems a lot more collectivist and family-oriented than modern British culture otherwise...). Interestingly that unique turn is currently happening in at least the modern UK and US (often attributed to the rise of highly individualist culture)...so it's really strange to see a culture where giving unique names is a tradition. Though I guess it's more reminiscent of the Mormons. (Tangent: pureblood culture and Mormonism comparisons by anyone more versed in Mormon culture than me??)
Albus I can imagine being consistently popular, with a spike immediately after the defeat of Grindelwald--in fact, I wonder if it had such a significant post-Grindelwald rise in usage that it fell out of fashion and didn't return until maybe a smaller rise after Dumbledore dies (or maybe that doesn't happen bc of the Voldemort coup...maybe this only happens post war, or not at all bc of Rita's book). Naming your kid Albs would be a pretty clear political signal.
James and Lily would have similar valences. I wonder about the names of other war heroes....I'd suspect more people would go for Ministry-approved figures than Order members(so probably not Gideon, Fabian, Dorcas, Benjy, Caradoc, etc...unless they themselves were part of the Order). Who are the other major war martyrs?? Dead Aurors?
(Horrible thought..people naming kids after Frank and Alice.)
I also wonder if Death Eaters would do faction naming--I think they might well, though it's a little more complex for people who used the Imperius Defense and because of Voldemort's issues around names and fanatical control of his followers (I don't think he'd be thrilled by a kid named Bellatrix or Lucius, and he would also hate a kid named Tom or like Voldina). Obviously the funniest possible way to do this is to have people naming their kids Sirius in the thought they are honoring this major Death Eater figure....

Sirius had soooo many reasons to go after Pettigrew himself, I will defend that as a reasonable decision (AND I will defend his decision to leave Harry with Dumbledore like Dumbledore is a professional who works with children I can see not trusting him to believe you about a kind of wild and sudden story but trusting him to take care of a kid) and I think a not insignificant one was that the Order, at least at this point in the war (when like I think they thought they were losing) had a culture of secrecy and self reliance and distrusting each other. In part because that is just how Dumbledore operated and so any organization founded and run by him would end up replicating his flaws as a leader. Dumbledore would order people to not tell other members what they were doing ad then people acting on their own would just...not tell people what they were doing bc that's how they learned to operate. (Maybe a good move from an operational security standpoint but not a good move for like..cohesion and morale). We see this culture of secrecy with the whole Secret Keeper switch in the first place and also with like everything that happens in the second war: no one is exactly clear what Snape is doing, no one is sufficiently in contact with Dung to go maybe selling dark artifacts from Sirius's house is a bad idea, the Horcrux hunt. And in combination with this organizational level situation is the general culture of distrust in broader British society at this point in the war and the Order specifically. Like Sirius may have very well believed, reasonably, that Peter wasn't the only spy. And that's not counting the fact that anyone he talked to about Peter could be under Imperius.
