walburga black loves regulus and sirius. she loves them when she wakes up, she loves them when she sleeps, she thinks of them as a beating heart alive outside of her body. she hates when they’re in pain. she hates when they’re far away from her. she hates when they won’t talk to her. she is a mother. she loves them even when she hates them. even when love is sickly it’s still real love. she tried. she wanted to raise them right. when a mother gets everything wrong everyone is utterly unforgiving. she’s not cartoonishly evil. she’s undeniably an abusive bigot but i know plenty of women like that, and they’re loving people. she taught regulus how to make cookies from scratch. she braided sirius’ hair for him. she took care of them when they were sick. she hugged them when they cried. this doesn’t make the abuse go away. it’s part of the abuse, this back and forth between gentleness and violence. this is why sirius stayed as long as he did, and why regulus never left. her abuse is awful because she loves them. it’s tragic because she is trying so hard. abusive parents still love their kids. regulus and sirius still love her too. it’s complicated. let it be complicated.

druella is the most beautiful person ever omg

Blackswan my beloveds < 3 Druella and Cygnus’s engagement photo, likely taken circa,,, 1943? 1944 at the latest

whenever i imagine sirius and james dating it has to be in an AU because i genuinely believe that if they had stayed together, nothing in the world would be able to break them apart. they would get married and be the most unbearable couple ever

so in my vision of canon compliant they had feelings for each other at different times and were never able to tell anyone cuz they were afraid to lose the most important person in their world. but they definitely kissed a few times and said it was completely platonic

“And hunting each other. And all of those thrilling, terrible things.”

“We were having so much fun out there. That’s the terrible truth we left behind.”

OCTAVIA ZABINI SUPREMACY PLEASE I BEG

marauders this, slytherin skittles that

but what about our hcs of Mrs. Zabini's first name???

i need more silly hcs of this chaotic family

Walburga is like who tf ate the last slice of cake, that was mine, and the cake is like leftovers from someone's wedding and it's actually really good so Walburga wanted a piece for herself and then Sirius immediately blames Regulus because regulus has a history of stealing other people's food and regulus blames him back because Sirius is a foodie who eats more than he should and Sirius is like tf did you just call me fat you little shit and then a fight breaks out and even Walburga is yelling because that was supposed to be her fucking cake, it was literally the only good thing she was looking forwards to all night and it's chaotic, everyones yelling, furniture is being thrown.

Orion, the culprit, is just sipping tea peacefully in some other room.

i actually appreciate that the show made alys kinda goofy and weird instead of the usual stereotype of the seductive witch, like yes my love, be silly while you torture me i love u

i love snily as a ship but nothing can beat the power and tragedy of their friendship. come on, the angst of childhood best friends that were the comfort of each other slowly taking different sides, slowly losing the skill to understand one another ??

lily was the only witch in her family, she had no idea what was going on, she realized her parents didn’t have all the answers in the world, her sister was starting to hate her for something she had no control over it. but then she met severus, someone like her, someone that told her about a whole world that she belongs to, a friend with whom she could be herself.

severus came from a abusive home, his own father hated what he was, his mother didnt didnt knew how to properly raise him, he had no friends and no one of his age he could relate to. but then he met lily, a girl the same age as him, a witch like him, someone that was kind and extroverted, someone that brought light to his life.

they loved each other so badly, and yet it wasnt enough to keep them together. they ended up hurting one another (one more than the other), they were in different sides of war, and severus has to live forever with guilty and regret about what happened, his worst memory being the day he really lost her.

yes i think severus had a crush on her when they were kids (and in my hcs, lily had a crush on him at some point too), but a crush fades over time. their tragedy is not about romance, its about losing your best friend, the most important person in your world, the first person you felt comfortable with and could be yourself.
