Not The Black Family Trauma 🫠

What if reg was an animagi and he could turn into a duck.

Imagine walking down the hogwarts corridor and you see james and sirius being chased by a duck with a wand in its mouth.

Idk just something about fussy duck reg sitting on top of james' head quacking at everyone

babysitting gone wrong

NINETEEN SEVENTY?!!!?!?

when people put "trigger warning" on their content without specifying what the trigger warning is for

hc that everyone at hogwarts just calls barty “barty,” because he makes a point to distance himself from his father and nobody really knows his full name, but the skittles are close enough to him that they’re allowed to call him bartemius as a joke. just imagine.

evan: barty. get down.

evan: bartemius. off the table.

or

dorcas: and then fuckin bartemius had to go and-

marlene: im sorry what

do you think j.k. rowling has read all the young dudes

From a queer elder…

Being queer isn’t supposed to be palatable to non-queers.

We don’t tick little squares on a checklist of “queer enough”, we obliterate the checklist.

We defy societal norms that say our bodies, families or relationships have to look a certain way.

Queer is the insult we took away from oppressors. We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

The people who hate us will hate us regardless of how palatable we make ourselves.

Stop licking fascist boots by policing queers who are queer in different ways than you.

Oh, someone is bi/pan trans lesbian with he/him pronouns? So what! They’re welcome on the rainbow. Their identity doesn’t have to make sense to you, it has to make sense to them.

Our identities don’t make sense to non-queers. They see us as unnatural and disgusting, so why are you turning around and crapping that same garbage out at your own community??

Once you drive the visible queers underground, the same people who hate us all will target you next. Nobody will defend you because you drove away everybody who would have.

Enough already!

— sincerely, an old queer.

fuck, i never thought about that

You know what, I'm not interested in whatever trauma and abuse Sirius Black got from going against his family.

I'm interested in what trauma he is responsible for in the others.

You can't just act out in a family like that and be the only one in trouble. What about his brother? His cousins? How much did his actions hurt them?

I can imagine Bellatrix in her teens, charged with keeping her sisters and cousins under control, as the eldest daughter that's her job. Sirius, refusing to co-operate. Sirius, in his mind being the hero, rebelling and pushing and misbehaving to spite this family. He gets punished for it, of course, he's embarrassed the family, after all. But Bellatrix is also punished even more. Because she was responsible for him, she should have stopped him, what use is she?

Or he messes around in Hogwarts. Gets letters sent home about his behaviour. And yes, he receives Howlers about his behaviour. But what he doesn't realise, as he wallows in his wounds, is that across the hall at the Slytherin table, Regulus is also suffering from a Howler because he should have sorted his brother out, he should have stopped him, been a good influence. No praise for being the top of his class, nope, just reproaches for not preventing his brother from messing around.

And then after Sirius ran away?

They couldn't punish Sirius for that.

His parents aren't going to blame themselves for it.

No, it's Regulus's fault for not stopping him or telling them. It's Bellatrix's fault. It's Andromeda's fault. It's Narcissa's fault.

Sirius believed himself to be good and noble, rebelling against his family's evil ways. He's convinced they hate him because of him being on the side of good. But they don't care what side he's on. All they care about is the fact that they were punished repeatedly for what he did. And that's why they hate him. What good is his "noble" heart, if it got them in trouble? When he saw Bellatrix after she'd been punished and scoffed and said she deserved it for being a stuck up blood purist? When he saw Regulus with red eyes after his achievements were pushed aside to focus on Sirius's bad behaviour and all Sirius said was that Regulus was a coward and a baby?

Just something I think about

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.

I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.

we are not the same.

Evan stretching out his ear piercings and once they're big enough, Barty asks if he can stick his dick through one of them. What thing for Regulus to walk in on
