Hello! My ask box is open for business. Send me rants or art requests. Ask me to write you a scenario for a fic lol.
Please note that there are adult themes on this blog, and I do not censor myself on this platform.
What you're probably here for:
Art Tag: spoiler! It's mostly Sirius.
Fic Tag: there are some drabbles here that don't make it to AO3!
AO3: it’s also mostly Sirius, whump, godfatherly stuff, and Slytherin!Sirius Black
Rank your top five versions of Sirius
Oh shit uhhhh, this was tough.
1. Prisoner of Azkaban Sirius (obvi)
2. The Godfather/Overprotective/Slightly overbearing dad (basically GoF Sirius)
3. Whump/tortured Sirius
4. Internalized homophobia/toxic masculinity Sirius (but like…for himself, not others. Like other men can cry and it’s fine! But not him though)
5. Terrified, snarling dog that’s backed into a corner Sirius
Have you ever talked about Draco Malfoy on your blog? I am so curious about your thoughts on him...
Ahhh sorry, I haven't talked about him much. I like Draco as a character, but he doesn't have enough issues with his parents for me to be invested.
Although I did like when Draco cried in a bathroom and then nearly bled out when his crush attacked him lol
Sirius marriage-law - yes or no?
Hmmmmm, I won't seek it out intentionally, but I don't hate marriage law fics as a concept. I just haven't read a ton that I'm into. There are a lot of Sirius/Hermione marriage law fics out there, but I'm not sure if they've hit the mark for me.
I also have a problem where it has to make a LITTLE sense or otherwise, I can't suspend my disbelief. Generally, for me, the law has to be about babymaking and diversifying the magic gene pool. BUT! Since I'm uncomfortable about pregnancy stuff, it has to be a couple being like, "Fine! We'll marry! But we're not gonna have a baby, you assholes!" Or if they do have a baby, they adopt lol.
lovely character. i want to watch him drown in his shame
Hi, Sirius grew up basically the same as Draco in the sense of being pureblood kid from an affluent family and with shitty opinions, right? And maybe his taste in fashion stayed even after he ran away or spent a decade in Azkaban?
(i want to see Sirius in fancy wizarding clothes, that's it, pretty please)
Haha, okay, here you go! Maybe this is what he wore to Bill and Fleur’s wedding in the AU in which he lived 😅
I’m okay with multiple interpretations of Sirius to keep the ecosystem healthy (even ones I don’t agree with), but whenever I start to see too much of the same thing and a new hc arising to the point where it’s becoming fanon, I like to sprinkle in a few drawings of hairy and depressed Sirius. Just to keep it balanced.
I’m always saying this
Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”
If the text says the curtains are blue you can argue about what that means; but if you’re going to claim they’re actually yellow you’d better have a really good argument.
