Do You Know That Feeling When Two People In Real Life Are So Much Like Your Fictional Otp

Lily and Remus is out... We need more of Lily and Sirius as best friends.

I'm thinking it started off tense. Sirius resented Lily for convincing James that he needed to change (his best friend was just fine as he was, thank you), but Lily's goodness was contagious and she eventually got through to him too.

Suddenly, gasp, Sirius was helping first years instead of tricking them and it was all Lily's fault. It also didn't help that James wore their good behavior like a badge of honor.

During holiday breaks, he made sure all of James' sappy letters to Lily included a mention of him saying hello. And when he started writing his own, he saved each of her responses in a locked box.

Yeah, I know it's not unproblematic, but while we live in a world where there are rich people, I think we need to bring back the concept of "noblesse oblige" and Duty and stuff. No buying thousand dollar Shein hauls and all that junk! NO. With great power comes great responsibility. You, rich person, are supporting all the Artisans and small businesses and putting your money back into your community! Somebody needs to, and I WISH it could be ME! But you're the one with the money, so it's YOU. It's your responsibility to do this, you HAVE to. AND it's also your responsibility to wear fancy and pretty clothes again, so that the rest of us can have something pretty to look at when you go by. This is your JOB and your DUTY, so hop to it! Noblesse oblige!

Another reason why I get so uncomfortable with people talking about wanting Carmen for her and her baby to die or for her to get sterilized is that there is a literally a racist history for latinas behind it all and having it happened to my family members in the past I’m like “guys come on….for once think before you speak ”

question: which hp character do you identify with most?

me: hedwig. the answer is and will always be hedwig. 

nocturnal

enjoy receiving and sending mail

and being useful to people i love

person i love most: harry james potter

do not take advantage of my kindness; show gratitude or else you will feel my cold disdain

can hold a grudge for chapters

harry james potter is my fav…i dwell with him in his sadness & hoot at his victories

but… but. sometimes he is such an idiotic little shit and i want to die from secondhand embarrassment on his behalf. i don’t even know what to do except ruffle my feathers at him.

it would also be nice if he didn’t put himself in danger all the damn time

compassionate jerk

still love him though. cannot help it, because he’s my son

really, he needs me to protect him

also, i am better than all my counterparts. imbeciles

Harry Potter growing up and becoming more confident and sassing the fuck out of adults that have abused their authority over him in the past gives me strength like the entire conversation he has with Vernon Dursely at the beginning of DH is incredible I mean:

“I’ve changed my mind,” he said. “What a surprise,” said Harry.

“Are you out of your mind?” demanded Harry. “A plot to get this house? Are you actually as stupid as you look?”

“Just in case you’ve forgotten,” said Harry, “I’ve already got a house my godfather left me one. So why would I want this one? All the happy memories?”

Uncle Vernon got dragged

one of my favorite sensations is when you can feel the ocean nearby without seeing it

i am about to create an au SO self indulgent. the target audience is 1 person and that person is me

Imagine having daughters and feeling good about calling women hags and sluts

Sirius speaks German!

I’ve seen a lot of posts on Tumblr claiming that the Blacks spoke French at home. Now, I see where this headcanon comes from: French used to be the language of the upper-class and, frankly, it is pretty sexy too. 

But… German was the language of Gellert Grindelwald.

Okay, let me take you through my train of thought. I have that headcanon that most of the Sacred Twenty Eight would support Grindelwald and his cause because he wanted to overturn the Statute of Secrecy and create a new order in which wise and powerful wizards were the benevolent overlords of a new society. The purebloods would, of course, hope that, once more, they would be the ruling class under Grindelwald’s rule and learn the language of their master: German. 

So far so good. But why do I think that the Blacks spoke predominantly German? First of all, their family origin. Black is an Anglo-Saxon name and therefore closer related to the Germanic roots (they might have chosen to emphasize that). Secondly, given that Viktor Krumm was very upset at the sight of Grindelwald’s mark, his influence seems to linger and there must have been supporters out there to that day. Last but not least, there are many German names in the Black family tree (Sirius’ mum is called Walburga. That is like every German grandma’s name ever). 

And tbh Walburga yelling at Sirius in German is far more intimidating than French. I also feel like Regulus and Orion would have appreciated German because it’s very precise and has many words whereas Sirius would have disliked it; simply because it reminded him of his family, but he’d speak it fluently. 

Then why did other families drop the language? Some of the Sacred Twenty Eight might not have supported Grindelwald in the first place (maybe they preferred Voldemort’s solution?). Other families might be bilingual or not have a high command of the language and other families might still rely on French as the language of the aristocracy. 

Anyway… maybe next time I get to see a prompt/fic/drabble with any of the Black family using German. I think it’s at least a valid theory.
